PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—The band at this
beautiful theatre has received an important acquisition by
being joined by Baumann, Richardson, De Fully, Platt,
and a new oboe player of the name of Delabarrc. Seve-
ral persons of distinction have lately attended the perform-
ances, which have gone off with great eclat, under the
direction of Mr. Willey, whose solos on the violin have
been loudly applauded.
PRINCE'S THEATRE.—The attendance at
this theatre has been very good, taking into consi-
deration the unfavourable state of the weather, and
the new opera improves on repetition; several judicious
curtailments have been made, and the piece plays cloier.
The melodies sung by Mss Romer, Frozer, and Phillips
arc much adntired. John Barnett's opera, Katkeen, will
be the next production.

QUEEN.—Addresses and accounts of rejoicing pour in

manifest amongst all classes, and in every quarter.
BitisToL SUGAR MARKET Nov. 26.--. Some
of our merchants having accepted easier terms, a few &des
have been effected, but the general character of the mar-
ket is an indisposition to buy more than is actually wanted,
and a reluctance on the part of the importers to sell at pre-
sent market rates, in the confidence of a reaction whenever
the d, tnar.d may imprcvc. It is more than probable that
the depressed state of the refining trade will decide this
suspense against the merchants.—BriAol Mercury.
In the Common Pleas on Saturday, its the case
of Donaldson v. Viers. which was an action brought to
recover the sum of 63.2/ 25., alleged to be due as per cent-
age upon sales effzeted for the defendant by th plaintiff
it, the management of the former's business, as watch-
dealer and jewell:r in Pall-mall, the plaintiff's case was
that he entered the defendant's service as foreman and
shopkeeper, at a salary of 21 per week in January, 1830.
In consequence of the improvement of the trade under his
management, his salary was increased to 21. 10.. per
week, the plaintiff agreeing to give him also a premium of
ono per cent on all sales. In two years more the re-
ceipts had increased from 3,0001 per annum to upwards of
9,0001., and in 1834 the defendant agreed to allow him
two per cent. Towards the end of 1839, diff.rences arose
between the parties, and the defendant was dismissed,
having in the ccurse of nine years drawn only 190/ on
account of the per tentage. The defence was that no
such agreement had ever existed, and that the plaintiff
being liberally remunerated by his salary of 2/. 105. a
week, improperly overdrew 1901. without the plaintiff's
knowledge, and out of the funds passing through his
hands in the confidential character of his situation. There
was no direct evidence of the agreement. The Jury, after
a lengthened consultation found for the plaintiff. Da-
