HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The /Ivan
monio Segreto, and Mademoiselle Stephan's benefit drew.
last night, to this house, a most crowded attendance. The
great work of Cirriaresa was admirably well performed. We
do not recollect any former necas;on when all the parts in it
were so finely sustained—with Persiani, Grisi, and Viardot,
in the Sisters and Fidalma; Lablache, Tamburini, and Ru-
bini, is old Geronimo, the Count, and Paulino. All too ap-
peared to exert themselves to do justice to this masterpie:e
of Italian operas. The new ballet was repeated, and went off
and
with much improved effect. Stephan was very much
moat deservedly applauded.

POOR•LAW COMMISSION.—We find from a
return lately moved fur by Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart..
M. P., that the total sums paid for law expenses by order of
the Poor-law Commissioners from 1835 to 1840, inclusive,
amounted to upwards of 5,0001.
SLAVE VESSELS.—The total number of slave
vessels which have been captured under the late treaty with
Spain, and in pursuance of the Act :1 and 3 Victoria, from 1837
to 1840 inclusive, appears, by a return lately moved for by
Captain Pechell, 81. P., to have been 79.
A fatal accident recently took place on the
railway between Paisley and Glasgow. One of the guards,
named Barclay, contrary to instructions given to him, was
amusing

carriages,to the engine, which was moving with

44 BREATHE NOT HIS NAME."—A chip of
aristocracy, living in the Broadway, hada very lung and diffi•
colt name, and ors a stranger trying to pronounce it t'othor
da, his tongue got entangled in his teeth, and he could not get
it Loa/caged until some one advised him to spell the word
backsraids—Yarshe Pcper.
