THE BASQUE PROVINCES.

BAYONNE, DEC. 4.—The three Basque provinces
have been administered from time immemorial by
Juntas chosen by the heads of the families of the coun-
try. Hitherto these Juntas confined themselves to
consulting the interests of their respective provinces,
never interfering in the general politics of the country.
In consequence, however, of late events, the three
provinces have judged it necessary to concert with each
other, and to form a national representation. In pur-
suance of this, Deputies from the Juntas of Biscay,
Guipuscoa, and Alava have recently assembled at
Bilbao under the title of a Conference, and have con-
cluded their first sitting with voting the following address
to Queen Christina :
" Madame—The deputations of the three Basque
provinces, Biscay, Guipuscoa, and Alava, assembled
in the city of Bilbao from motives which affect
their highest interests, have felt it to be their
first duty to offer to your Majesty the homage of their
respect and gratitude. Madame, people brought up in
the school of liberty and in the practice of civic virtues
are ever just and grateful. For them misfortune is an
additional title to their love. When the impenetra-
ble decrees of Providence strike persons with characters
so elevated and hearts so noble as that of your Majesty,
we feel consolation in throwing ourselves at the feet of
the victim of destiny, and we conceive it to be a religious
duty to participate in their griefs. Madame, never
will the hearts el the Basques lose the memory of the
benefits which your generous Government has heaped
upon them. They will never forget that peace which
you bestowed upon them, and the generosity with which
you respected their cherished and venerated laws, their
patriarchal manners, in which their ancestors lived free
and contented. May Heaven guide the steps of your
Nlajesty in a foreign land! Our ardent vows, our filial
solicitude, will follow you with incessant anxiety. Why
cannot they dry the bitter tears which the recollection
of better days must cost your Majesty? May
your Majesty never forget us A generous people upon
whom your Majesty has bestowed so many benefits, and
whose happiness has filled your thoughts, must occupy a
place in the recollections of your Majesty. We, at the
same time, as well as all loyal Spaniards, will watch over
in order to preserve from tempest the cradles in which re-

GENTLEMEN in Business, Travellers, and,
in fact, all persons in active life, often delay taking
Aperient Medicine in consequence of the pressure of business.
The following plar. has been found extremely convenient for this
class :—To take a tea-spoonful, or even less, of the sißop
ORANGE PURGATIF DI LAGRANGE, once or twice a
week at bed time. The advantages of this plan are—

1 u It acts imperceptibly.
2. It dees not require care or confinement.
3. It removes at once any impurities which, if suffered to re-
main, would accumulate and produce illness.
4. It does not cause languor, prostration of strength, or cos-
tiveness, so often felt after a black draught or any other strong
cathartic.
5. It is most agreeable to take. The flavour is delicious.
6. It is much Cheaper. Ono bottle will last a considerable
time. _

CRIMINAL COURT-YESTERDAY

John Quin, aged 33, was indicted for the manslaugh-
ter of his brother James Quin.
It appeared from the evidence adduced that this un-
fortunate occurrence arose out of one of those disgrace-
ful outrages so frequently occurring among the lower
order of Irish. On the 31st of
.August a row took place
between two parties of Irish, in a court near Oxford-
street, called Exeter-buildings, and the prisoner and hi;
brother were fighting on one side. Sticks and stones
were made use of both parties, and the prisoner was seen
to pick up a large stone and throw it with great violence,
and it struck the deceased upon the head, causing
thereby a compound fracture of the skull, and ultimately
death.
Mr. Bolaxit,r, who appeared for the prisoner, addressed
the Jury, and submitted that there was clearly an ab-
sence of all intention on the part of the prisoner to hurt
his own brother, and he called witnesses who gave him
a good choracter.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET sentenced the prisoner to be
kept to bard labour for three calendar months.
William Worley, aged 44, was convicted of bur.
glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Mr. William Leake, and stealing therefrom two coats
and other
rarticles, value 6/., the property of John Wil-
liam Bury.
Air. Justice BOSANQUET, in passing sentence, said
that the offence of burglary was one of a most serious
character, and for the protection of the public it was
necessary that a severe sentence should always follow
a conviction for that offence. He then sentenced the
prisoner to be transported for ten years.
(Before the RECORDER.)
William Buxton Cooper, aged 34, was indicted for
stealing six oxen, value 601., the property of Thomas
Kenrick, his master.
Mr. Payne defended the prisoner.
The particulars of this case have been very fully
given within the last three or four days, and it will
therefore be unnecessary to repeat them.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom.
mended him to mercy on account of his previous good
character. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be
,ransported for ten years.

EVENING- _EDITION.

SUDIMN DEATH OF THE RIGHT
HON. LORD HOLLAND.

It is with infinite regret we have to announce the
Lamented and sudden demise of theßight Hon.
L
rd holland, which occurred this morning at
°llarld House, Kersington. His Lordship, with
Lady Holland, were out in their carriage on Toes-
da
on which day his Lordship appeared in much
pis usual state of health. On Wednesday morning
he complained of indisposition, which, however, was
but slight
until towards evening, when Drs. Hol-
land. Arnott, and Allen, and other medical gentle-
men, were called in, but their efforts were of no avail;
an nbs'cruation of the bowels, defying medical skill,
Qecariioning death a few minutes after six o'clock
this morning. His Lordship was in his 67th
1"4, having been born on the 21st of November,
473. He was the third Baron of Holland, and
tueeeeded to the title on the 16th of December,
1774, on the demise of his father. In 1797 he
married Elizabeth Vassall, the daughter and heiress
of Richard Vassall, Esq., by whom he has issue,
Colonel J. Fox, Lady Lilford, and the Hon.
Vienna,
Fox, Secretary of Legation to the Court of
visinna, who succeeds him in the title. His Lord-
PI in addition to having filled several offices un-
der various Administrations, was, we believe, Pre-
aident of the Council, Chancellor of the Duchy of
tancaster, and Recorder of Nottingham. On the
inelancholy event becoming known this. morning it
Occasioned a gloom amongst all clas,r,,es in the me.
tropolis.

the debt; our offer is 4s a month."
Plaintiff—The bill is 1/. 125., for bread and bacon,
and tea, sugar, and coffee, and the defendant can pay
10s. a week.
" Only hear the man," said the agent, " 10s. a week !
One would think he kept a coach and four."
Plaintiff—Why, he's in good work, and gets plenty
of money.
The Agent—Why, I saw the man this morniug, and
I declare to the Court that he had scarcely a shoe to
his feet.
" Nor a coat to his back," chimed in a stupid-looking
young fellow in a fustian jacket.
" What do you know about the defendant ?" said the
COMMISSIONER. Fustian Jacket—l knows him as
well as I does my own brother.
The Agent—Yes, this young gentleman knows the
whole facts of the case.
Fustian Jacket—That I does.
Plaintiff—Then you know that Bacon's a precious
rogue.
Fustian Jacket—He's a respectable young man.
A Juror—Only he hasn't either coat to his back or
shoe to his foot ? " 'Zsekly," said Fustian Jacket,
" but he's a respectable young man for all that."
The Juror shook his head.
" Why, I works with him," said Fustian Jacket ; " I
ought to know."
The agent tried to catch Fustian Jacket's eye, but
failed.

The ,COMMISSIONER.—What does the defendant get
a week ? Fustian Jacket—Why he works next bench
to me, and very last week as was he got 2/. 10s.
Is he still in work ?—Yes, he is.
Any family ?—Not a chick nor child.
Then he'll pay the 1/. 14s. next Monday.
Fustian Jacket stared quite suddenly, and for the first
time found out that he had made a mistake.

Upon leaving the Court he made his way to the
agent, but that honourable gentleman tad him he was
an " ass," and treated him with the greatest possible
scorn. " A pretty witness for the defence I" said he, as
he turned up his nose and went to smell out another case.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

MANCHESTER—FRIDAY EVENING.
This being Christmas Day there is nothing doing to re-
quire the slightest remark. 12 to 1 was the last offer we
heard upon the Derby field, and 20 to 1 on the Chester
one ; i to 1 is offered v. Kedge for the Oaks, and lb to 1
v. anything for the St. Leger.

From T. J. Pettigrew, M.D., F.R.S., to Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly
( opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-
street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen,—I have no
hesitation in replying to your inquiry as to the
results obtained by the use of your improved specta-
cles; being in the constant habit of reading and
writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but
justice to say, that your newly invented spectacle lenses
have afforded me the greatest comfort. When I employed
the ordinary. pebbles, I never failed to experience in the
morning a great irritation in the eyes. Since I have used
your admirable glasses I suffer from no inconvenience of
the kind, and my vision is much improved. I shall ever
feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell, for having
drawn my attention to the subject:—Believe me to be
your's, very respectfully, T. J. Pettigrew, 8, Saville-row,
Jan. 4, 1839." The Messrs. Solomons' Operative Voice
Conductor, by which thousands of deaf persons have been ,
greatly benefited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and
when fixed into the cavity of the car, is soft, easy, and not
more uncomfortable nor perceptible than having a piece of
wool in its place, and the faintest whisper at a public as-
assembly is heard with distinctness.-39, Albemarle-street,
and 76, King William-street, Bank.—No connection with
persons of the same name.
The good people of Shrewsbury and its neigh-
bourhood, according to the local Chronicle, expended in
meat only, for Christmas day, 3,6001.
Mr. Herbert, in a note to " White's Natural
History of Selborne," p. 227, says he saw Colonel O'Kel-
ly's green parrot, about 1799, which sang, perfectly, about
fifty different tunes, solemn psalms, and humorous or low
ballads, articulating every word as distinctly as a man,
without a single mistake, beating time with its foot, turn-
ing round upon the perch, and marking the time as it
turned ; if a person sang part of a song, it would take it
up where he left off; and, when moulting and unwilling to
sing, turned its back and said, " Poll's sick." The dog
to which Blumenbach alludes was seen and heard by Leib-
nitz ( Op. vol. ii. p. 180. ii. ), who declares it pronounced
all the letters of the alphabet except m, n, x, and thirty
German words; was three m
years old when it went to
school, and required some years for finishing its education.
Locke, however, goes farther than Leibnitz, for he relates
a story in his " Essay on Human Understanding" (book ii.
p. 27), on the authority of Prince Maurice, and believe
it too, of an old parrot that held a rational conversation,—
Dr. Elliotson's Human .Physiology.

ROYAL PAVILION.

The entertainments provided at this house last night,
by Mr. Denvil, the present proprietor, were Martial
Law, Americanisms, by Mr. Yankee Smith and his
Piccaninny Coleman, and Harlequin Blue &Aril ; or,
Fatal Curiosity. The first piece was got through in
" dumb show," and though the " gods" and the occu-
pants of the pit exhibited a most noisy anxiety end rest-
lessness for the commencement of that which was the
great attraction of the night, the pantomime, the enter-
tainments of Mr. Smith and his " piccaninny" assistant
were listened to with an attention which was almost
marvellous, and it is but justice to Mr. Smith to say
that his performance was exceedingly clever, and there
is no doubt he will become a great favourite at this part
of the town. The pantomime is the production of Mr.
Nelson Lee, and is taken from the celebrated nur-
sery legend of " Blue Beard," and in its production
that gentleman has no fault whatever to find with
the proprietorship ; on the contrary, the scenery,
the masks, properties, machinery, and music, were
all that he could have wished for to sustain the suc-
cess of the piece. The appearance of Mr. T. Hill—
after an absence of four years from these boards—as
Clown, was warmly greeted. Mr. Tong
very made a
very good Pantaloon, Mr. Gibson a lively Harlequin.
Mrs. Gibson as Columbine, and Miss Isaacs as Co-
lumbine, danced with a grace, spirit, and vivacity,
which elicited much applause. During the perform-
ances several exceedingly humourous tricks were played
off, and some good hits mad-
of in reference to the march

appearance of a wight decorated with the medal and
order of Teetotalism, who, it was pronounced, had taken

TEA MARKET.

Nothing done in this market, and prices were quite
nominal. The next advices from China are looked for
with very great anxiety.
TALLOW MARKET.

The prices of Russian Tallow have undergone very
little change during the last four days, and scarcely any
business has been done. P. Y.C. on the spot, 47s 3d to
4716 d per cwt. The largo stock on hand induces the
trade to expect much lower rates.
POTATOE MARKET.

The supplies of Potatoes continue extremely small,
and the weather having been very severe, an advance of
prices has taken place, with a good demand, especially for
fine qualities, which are now very scarce. York Reds
fetched 88s to 90i ; Devon, 79s to 83s, and Essex Whites,
6Sa to 70s per ton.
HOP MARKET.

The few transactions have been confined to good quali-
ties of this year's growth, which hare sold to a fair ex-
tent, and at full the quotations of last week, while inferior
sorts have remained neglected.

CITY OF LONDON.

This theatre was well filled", in every part,
and well it might be, for a more ample bill of fare could
not well have been produced. The first piece, a new
one for the occasion, and founded upon Mr. Ainsworth's
historical romance of" The Tower of London," was well
got up us regarded scenery, and was well played ; Miss
Vincent sustaining the part of Lady Jane Grey. A
farce succeeded, and then came the New Grand Ro-
mantic, Supernatural, Aerial, Comic Pantomime, with
new, beaut►ful, and really magnificent scenery, machi-
nery, &c. &c., entitled Ilarkgnin Peter Wilkins, or the
King of the Air and the Flying Indians. The story is
well known, and it is therefore sufficient to say it was
burlesqued. 'Then came the real fun, the quips, cranks,
and drolleries, found nowhere else but in pantomime.
The railways came in for their full share, if not of pas-
sengers, of burlesque.
