MISCELLANEOUS.

Mr. O'Connell has addressed a long letter to Mr.
Smythe, M.P. for Canterbury, wherein he recapitulates
the wrongs that Ireland has sustained at the hands of
England, and sums up by saying— " The idle wind that
listeth not where it blows, is not half so idle as the ex-
pectation that Peel can easily govern Ireland without
altering his policy, which it is impossible for him to do,
and giving Ireland that justice which he prevented the
Whigs from approaching to."
A Tory morning paper, after stating that " the
favourable change in the weather has. been hailed with
joy by the farmers round London," adds, in the very
next paragraph, that " prayers for fine weather are
being read in most of the churches in the Metropolis and
suburbs," thus making one statement completely neutra-
lize the effect of the other!

At a Tory dinner which took place on Monday last
at West Bromwich, the Chairman congratulated the com-
pany on the excessive loyalty which " was known to ac-
tuate the bosom of every true Conservative." Tory loy-
alty is regulated solely by the barometer of self-interest.
When they are in office, then they discover that the
Queen is all that a constitutional Queen ought to be ;
when they are out, then they discover that they have been
somewhat precipitate in their estimate of her !

A Belfast paper states that the near approach of
the Tories to power has been marked by a return of
those annual displays of Orange insult and outrage which
were so common throughout Ulster till Government par-
tially put them down.
The line of telegraph from London to Dover is to
be re-established, and the preparations for opening it are
in rapid progress. It was a miserable piece of economy
to interrupt it at all. It is the most important line in
the country, and owing to the want of it the newspapers
had generally more early intelligence from the Continent
than the Government.

On Thursday last a trial took place at the Cork
Assizes for a breach of promise of marriage, in which
Miss Campion was the plaintiff; and a Mr. Barry Drew,
a gentleman of independent fortune, the defendant.
After a lengthened trial the Jury returned a verdict for
the plaintiff, and 1,5001. damages.
The gardens at Windsor, which have heretofore
small and wide detached plots, for the supply of the
Queen's table and household; are to be entirely aban-
doned, and one large garden made instead,.on fitting
soil, in the neighbourhood of Windsor.

The garden at Kensington, containing nearly thirty
acres, is to be entirely relinquished, and the ground let
out as sites for villas.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

William Lee, John Faversham, and William Lewis
wei,e brought up for further examination, having been
remanded on Tuesday last, on a charge of embezzling
money, the property of Mr. Eliason, the lessee of Drury-
lane Theatre.

[An error appeared in our report of the case on its
first hearing, as we stated that the two prisoners, Faver-
sham and Lee, were committed for trial.]
Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, appeared for Lewis.
Mr Burgess said he had no further evidence to offer
against Lewis. The only evidence he had to offer fur-
ther against the other prisoners was that of Mr. Jones,
the Treasurer ; a point of objection had been raised by
the prisoner Lewis, as tp being in the employment of
Mr. Eliason ; and he (Mr. Burges) was prepared to
prove by the evidence, of Mr. Jones, that an engagement
existed between Lewis and Mr. Eliason • and he was
also prepared to prove that it had not been correctly
stated at the last examination that any arrear of salary
was due to the prisoner.
These facts were admitted by the Counsel for the pri-
soners, and the proof was not gone into.
Mr. JARDINE said that Lewmmust be discharged, as
there was not sufficient evidence against him to consti-
tute a felony. There was great suspicion, but he might
be able satisfactorily to answer it.
Mr. Burgess said he should apply to the bench for an
order that Lewis should find bail to answer any charge.
Mr. Bodkin said he would rather his client entered
with the required bail, although he (Mr. Bodkin) was in
a condition to ask the Magistrate to discharge Lewis
forthwith.
The required sureties were entered into, and the
prisoner w.' discharged.
The evidence taken OH the former occasion was then
read over, and

Mr. Flower applied, on the part of Faversham, that
bail might be taken for his appearance at the Sessions.
Mr. JARDINE said, as the Sessions were so near, being
on Monday next, he did not feel disposed to grant the
application.
The prisoners were then fully committed for trial.
The Court was crowded by a great number of the
members of the theatrical profession.
