HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Plackle, the celebrated American manager and
actor, made his first appearance in this country at this
theatre, last evening, in the character of Sir Peter
Teazle in the School for Si,andal, and of Lingo, in the
Agreeable Surprise. We- think this gentleman acted
very injudiciously in choosing the character of Sir Peter
Teazle for his debut. The character of Sir Peter
Teazle is one sl completely peculiar to the polished
English society of the last century, that it is next to
impossible for a person who has r.ot been used to mix in
first-rate English society, to understand or to act the
character. Sir Peter Teazle is a finished gentleman, and
Mr. Placide was wofully deficient in the elegance of
manner necessary to give effect to such a character. His
thorough acquaintance with the stage business, saved
him from the commission of any grievous faults; but his
conception of the character was altogether false, and
his acting. harsh, unpolished, and wanting in grace. He
is a good farceur ; but no mere farceur can act Sir Peter
Teazle: His Lingo was a much better performance.
His reading of the character is different to what we have
been hitherto accustomed. He makes Lingo more of the
old man, and we are by no means disposed to say that he
is wrong in so doing ; but he was at times very humorous,
and some of his grimaces were most extraordinary. He.
sings well, and was deservedly encored in the song
" Amo. amas," which he gave with great quaintness. From
what we saw of him last night we should' imagine that in
his line Mr. Placide was a good actor ; but genteel co-
medy is most decidedly not in his line, therefore, we
hope he will not again attempt the character of Sir Peter
Teazle. Miss Helen Faucit was the Lady Teazle, and we
were agreeably surprised to find her so excellent in co-
medy. She was scarcely sufficiently buoyant in the ear-
lier scenes, but as the character developed itself, she rose
with her part, and in the more serious scenes towards the
close she was excellent. The screen scene was given
with a pathos that was exquisitely touching, and the
scorn with which she retorts on Joseph Surface, at the
close of the scene, was most withering, and at the same
time most lady-like. We never saw this scene better
acted. Mrs. Stirling, as Mrs. Candour, was per-
fect. It is impossible to imagine anything better than
the Mrs. Candour of this lady. The• other characters
were all excellently supported (Wallack resuming his
old character of Charles Surface), and the piece
was got up with all that attention to costume
and scenery, for which this theatre has of lute become so
celebrated. At the conclusion of the play Mr. Plaeide
was called for, and on his appearance was loudly cheered.
The house was well attended.

GENERAL ORDER, ALTG. 7,

In consequence of the promotion of Captain Ord to a
company in the regiment, the Master-General has di-
r•ected him to be relieved from his emplovment as In-
tructor in Practical Artillery at the Royal Aca-
lemy, in order that he may return to the general dutief:
-if the regiment, in conformity.with the principle laid
down by_the General Order of the 7th of February, 1832.

The Master-General has therefore appointed Second
Captain Wilford (now Instructor in History and Geo-
graphy) to succeed Captain Ord as Instructor in Practi-
Artillery, under the same conditions, with respect
to removal, us already established.
1), ROSS, Colonel, Deputy Adjutant-General.
Captain Mitchell has taken charge of Captain Drew's
company, 9th battalioU, until further orders.

. .
Captain hiolesworth's company, Gth battalion, corn •
menced a course of Repository instructions on the 10th of
August.
Lieutenant Mackie has gone on leave. .

No practicelias been carried on during the week. The
men have attended lrittaliondrill under Colonel Lacy and
the Repository exercise.
Few recruo,, nave joined from the country during last
month, and, with the. exception of one or two head-quarter
recruits who,are occasionally taken, the recruiting in the
corps might almost be considered at a stand-still. This is
attributed to the present pension warrant, which holds out
only the miserable prospect of Gd. a day arm- twenty-five
years' service to men who enlist in the prime of life, and
expend their bodily strength in their country's cause ;
as after twenty.-five years' service their constitutions
must be so impaired as to require something more than
Gd. a day to sustain existence, it is to be hoped a re•
turn to the old pension warrant of Is. per (Jar 'will soon
take place, as an inducement to obtain efficient recruits
and men of good character, which in too many instances
is not the c9se at present.

NAVIGATION.

The navigability of the Euphrates is by every
succeeding expedition discovered to be more and more
practicable. The two iron steani boats, which about
eighteen months ago left Liverpool, have traversed the
stream 1,100 mites from its mouth, an achievement never
before accomplished. The only obstacle, says Mr.
Floyd, surgeon to the flotilla, was between Hit and
Anna, where the navigation is obstructed by the remains
of waterwheels anciently used for irrigation. Nearly
300 of these were met with in the short space of 136
miles, and one-third of them are in operation at the pre-
sent day. They consist of large parapet walls built into -
the stream, directing the current of the river to the
wheels, which are forty feet in diameter, and made of
clumsy branches of trees, with 150 vessels slung round
them to raise the water in. .

The Court of Conservancy have actively taken up
the existing nuisances along the river. Among others,
recited as encroachments and obstructions to the navi-
gation necessary to be removed, are the piles driven in
before the wharfs between London-bridge and the Tem-
ple ; the floating pier of barges on the N.E. side of
Blackfriars-bridge ; a •similar pier of barges at South-
wark-bridge; and others of the same kind at Dyer's Hall
Wharf, Old Shades Wharf; and Nicholson's Wharf, which
project into the river. The Lord Mayor and Corpora-
tion intend to remove these nuisances immediately. A
model of a very elegant pier proposed to be greeted at
Blackfriars-bridge is to be seen at the Guildhall.

SPAIN.

Accounts received from Madrid of the 7th inst. state,
that on the sth inst. General Palafox, Duke of Saragossa,
resigned the command of the Royal Guard, and was re-
placed by Don Pedro Chicon.
The Madrid papers of the 7th instant contain no other
news. The most perfect tranquillity continued to reign
in Madrid.

A despatch from the Island of Cuba stated, that the
election of General Espartero to the Regency had been
received with satisfaction by the inhabitants, and with
enthusiasm by.the army.
The postscript of our Madrid letter of the 7th adds,
that the two sons of General Bilboa had been arrested.
The General himself had escaped. All the persons com-
posing the Queen's household hadeither resigned or been
dismissed. The Duchesses d'Alba and Medina Celi, and
the Marchioness Gracia, Reald, and Malpica, were
amongst the latter.

The capitalists who had been invited by the Minister
of Finance to lend 81,000,000 had not agreed to -his

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 13.—We
have still to report a very limited attendance of
the trade throughout the week, whose purchases have
been confined to their immediate consumption, and hold-
ers in most instances having offered their stock very
freely, has caused a considerable pressure on the mar-
ket, with great irregularity, and, to effect sales, have
been.obliged to submit to a decline of at least -id. per lb.
in American descriptions. Brazils, &c., partake of the
general dullness, and are fully 4d. per lb. lower. Specula-
tors have taken 400 bales American, and exporters 1,100
bales American, 250 bales Bahia, and 1,100 bales Surat

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Mustapha Ali: the Greek adopted by Lord Byron,
whose case has excited much interest, was yesterday
again brought up for re-examination. On the prisoner
being placed in the dock,
Mr. GREGORIE, addressing the prosecutor, Mr. Wood,
said :—" I have given this charge, which involves in it a
point of law, the greatest consideration ; and my opinion
is, that if the prisoner were sent for trial he would in all
probability be convicted. I am, however, informed that
there exists a desire to send the prisoner out of the
country in a private manner, but Colonel Stanhope, who
is here, will speak for himself on that subject. I have
sent for you, because I did not wish that anything should
be done without your concurrence. You are the party
aggrieved, and it is for you to determine whether the
prosecution shall go on.
Mr. Wood said he had no ill-feeling towards the pri-
soner, and he really thought it very desirahle that he
should be sent out of the country, but he could not help
saying it was cruel on the part of the prisoner to attempt
to impose upon him when he knew he was a poor man.
Colonel Leicester Stanhope, after some remarks, said,
the prisoner's character was now damaged to such an ex•
tent, that it occurred to him his only remaining means
of living in this country was by breaking stones, or some
such menial occupation.
The prisoner, who appeared very thankful, was then
remanded for a week.

Colonel Stanhope, who satisfied the claim of the prose-
cutor, then went with prisoner's solicitor to make the
necessary arrangements for getting him sent out to one
of the colonies.

LAW AND POLICE.

In the Insolvent Debtors' Court on Thursday, Thomas
Watts, late of the Crown Inn, Monmouth, and a special
constable during the riot, was liberated on bail. He
stated that his insulrency arose from neglecting his busi-
ness by looking after the Chartist rioters. Among the
debtors to the estate the following were entered by. the
insolvent :—" The Lords of her Majesty's Whitehall,
London, 701., 1840—good. Money paid to the use of
her Majesty in paying witnesses attending the trial at
the Special Commission of the Chartist rioters at Mon-
mouth," and " Thomas Jones Phillips, Esq., of Mon-
mouth, 20/.—money paid in subpamaing witnesses at-
tending the trial of the rioters."
At Lambeth-street Police-office on Thursday, Wil-
liam Bradford, aged 73 years, was committed fur trial on a
charge of having caused the death of his wife.
Two young men, of the names of Davis and Web-
ster, were committed on Thursday at Union Hall, to take
their trial for robbing their employer, William Black-
well, hosier and linendraper, Camberwell, of money and
goods to a considerable amount. Lewis, another shop-
man, implicated in the robbery, gave evidence against
his accomplices, and was admitted to bail.

fe— In the Rolls' Court, on Thursday, LordLangdale re-
fused the application of Mr. Kelly to transfer the trial of
the issues, in the case of Fowler v. Wood and others,
from Gloucester to the Bristol Assizes. The short hear-
ing of the case at Gloucester the other day, it appears,
cost 3,0001. ; probably the hearing before the Master of
the Rolls will cost 1,0001.. more. The lawyers are wise
in their generation, and will take care to cut down Jemmy
Wood's property to an ordinary size, before it is divided
among his heirs.

A FOUL CRIME.

(prom the Gazette des Tribunaux.)
Cries of " Stop thief, Stop thief," resounded a few
days since through the market-place, upon which a
municipal guard rushed bravely into the midst of the
female group and discovered the accuser and the delin-
quent, both ornaments of the fair sex, and both strug-
gling with most unfeminine grace. A hundred female
tongues were forthwith let loose upon the municipal
guard, each giving a different version to the affair, until
at length that important functionary, retroussant his
mouitache, exclaimed with emphatic importance, " Si-
lence, women—one at a time, let the accuser and the
accused stand forth, and justice shall take her course.
The law throws its protecting aegis alike over the weak
and the strong, and you find that I shall impartially
administer the authority delegated to me by my Sove-
reign." This spirited address produced the desired
effect. A marchande de volaille came forth from the
crowd, holding firmly in her grasp an aged spinster,
whom she accused of halving unlawfully appropriated to
herself one of those volatile bipeds which are known to
tlee s ulgar by the name of capons.
The aged deliiignent, who had basked in the sun-
shine of sixty-five ammers, indignantly repelled the
cherge, and resolutely declared that slasswould not sub-
tto be searched but the character iand temper of
the fair accusing paulterer were
,not of that gentle
neture that can tame'y brook a denial. She accord-
ingly- commenced' searching the aged delinquent ; but
all Ler endeavours-to find the missing capon were for
a long time ineffectual. The Municipal Guard, how-
ever, in whom the stern love of justice was sweetly
Ll aide] with that of the fair sax, expressed great ad-
miration for the contour of the sexageaariau's bust,
and suggested that the accusing poulterer should in-
spect those beauties also ; when lo ! with shame and
horror do we write it, from out the corset which inca c
this lovely form eppeared the accusing talons of the sub-
tracted fowl, and the bird's body was at length triumph-
antly dragged into day, and the eleiicqueat, who still
protested her innocence, was dragged to durance vile.
On being brought before the Commissioner, she de-
termined upon withdrawing her plea of " Not Guilty,"
and pleaded in her defence that she was enceinte, and
suddenly felt a longing for the fowl, which was irre-
sibtAle.

" why you

" Enceinte," exclaimed the Nagistnte,
must he upwards of sixty."
" (due voulez vous," replied the sexagenarian spinster,
"- oaf-ail. des solliscs a tout age."
In spite of this touching appeal she was led off to ex-
piate her faux pas in prisnn.

-..—
The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and atiec-
tiot.s, which far some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and ahnost- in-
difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must: be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of without. which no notice whatever can be
ta,:ei4 th,t• ;,p;AicatiGn; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN 'FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. baying effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
granted to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was alniost unprecedented. The present Level and sci-
entific method of supplying -Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it; in this state it
cannot oyez flow, whatever may be the change ;of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear

Ink for fouror six months.

long destined to continue the manual of that large class of per-
sons employed in the practical operations of stable economy
in its various branches. No groom, coachman, helper, carter,
or ploughman, should bo without it. Each will find in it plain

life, and much valuaLle assistance in those casualties upon
which he must reckon more orless."—Sporting Review, Feb.

RAILWAY NOTICES.

SHEFFIELD AND ROTIMRHATiI RAILWAY,--U,) to
the 31st December last, 1,008,500 passengers bad been
conveyed along this Inc, since its opening, withou' one
accident, except a man (not a passenger) wh was
erassing the rails at a place where he had no b . inuss
to cross ; and who, being deaf, did not hear the c gire•
man's whistle.
MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—An addi-
tional mile of this railway is expected to be opened in
April, leading to the town of Aspatria, which will make
81 miles opened. The present traffic consists princi-
pally of coal ; and, owing to the opening of new colleries,
it is steadily increasing. As soon as the portion through
the coal fields is completed, a junction will be made with
the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, from Carlisle to
Wigton, eleven miles.—Whitchaven Herald.
PROJECTED RAILROAD THROUGH BURNLEY, BLACK-
BURN, &c.—A deputation from the temporary Commit-
tee, appointed at the meeting in this town, had an
interview, by appointment, with some of the principal
inhabitants of Burnley and the neighbourhood, at the
Bull Inn in that town, on Friday last, to confer on the
subjnt of the intended railroad. The chair was taken
by J. R. Walton, Esq., of Marsden Hall.—Mr. Burke,
the surveyor, exhibited to the meeting the draft of his
plans for the whole line, which gave great satisfaction.
He also, at the request of the meeting, explained very
fully his views as to the practicability of the railway,
and the probable cost , which, he thought, would be
within 20,000/. per mile, including locomotive engines,
carriages, &c.—An interesting discussion subsequently
took place with respect to the probable traffic, &c.—A
Committee was appointed to raise subscriptions for the
survey, and the meeting separated, after passing a vote
of thanks to the Chairman.—Bleekburn Gazelle.
Bax-TUNNEL.—This stupendous work, by far the
greatest of its kind in this or any other country, is fast
approaching completion, less than forty yards in length
now remain to be excavated, and there is every
probability that the entire work will be finished within
a month or six weeks. The length of the tunnel is
3,128 yards, or 48 yards more than 11 miles. The
width is 30 feet, and the height from the line of rails
to the crown of the arch varies, according to the
nature of the ground excavated, from 25 to nearly 40
• feat. The total amount excavated cannot amount to
less than 450,000 cubic yards. The work being un-
-1 avoidable in this locality, we cordially congratulate the
Company on its successful progress and near approach
to completion. It is unquestionably the boldest and
greatest specimen of tunneling which the enterprise of
our monied and scicatifie men has yet produced.—
