CLERKENWELLI-(THIS DAY.)

E. T. Hifrick, who had been remanded from last
Monday on the charge of embezzling various sums
of money, the property of his employers, Messrs.
Delarue, Fry, and Co., playing-card manufacturers,
of Bunhill-row, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Tyrwhitt for further examination this day.
The first witness called was Mr. Fry, who stated
in detail the facts already given.
Mrs. Sarah Anne Clarke said that she had formerly
worked for Messrs. Delarue and Co. For the last
eight weeks, however, she had ceased to do any work
there, and swore positively that she had received no
money on the 28th of August, the 4th of September,
or the 11th of September.
The books were here handed into Court, in which
appeared, in the prisoner's handwriting, three several
entries of a week's wages on the above dates, as
having been paid to Mrs. Clarke.
The cashier deposed to having paid the prisoner
those three sums pursuant to the entry in the books.
Several cases of a similar character having been
gone into the prisoner was fully committed for trial.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL
FESTIVAL.
GLOUCESTER, WEDNESDAY.—ThiS morning, as the
hour of meeting approached, the usually dull and
sober-looking streets of our " fair citie," presented,
as we expected, a gay and animated appearance.
The state of the weather, too, was much improved,
and the :sun occasionally peered forth from some
watery cloud, to welcome, as it were, the host of
smiling visitors who were hurrying to and fro. The
greatest attraction of the festival was, beyond all
doubt, Elijah; and many persons had assembled
from distant counties on purpose to hear this clever
composition. The promoters of the festival are en-
titled to many thanks for taking means, thus early,
of placing before the public in the provinces, in a
style commensurate with its merits, a production
worthy of the praise so universally bestowed. Every
seat was occupied in the cathedral to-day by a
highly fashionable company. As a whole, the
oratorio was finely rendered. Time will not
admit of an extended criticism, yet we cannot help
adverting to the masterly singing of Herr Staudigl
and Mr. Lockey. The latter in the recitative, "Ye
people, rend your hearts, and not your garments, for
your transgressions," and the air following, " If with
all your hearts you truly seek me," effected every-
thing that the lovers of a fine voice and correct enun-
ciation could desire. Recitative, Miss Dolby, " Now
Cherith's brook is dried up, Elijah," was beautifully
executed. In the recitative, air, and duet, by Madame
Caradori Allan and Herr Staudigl, " What have I to
do with thee, Oh, man of God ?" and " Now, behold
thy son liveth," the fine execution of these popular
artistes was eminently displayed. A chorus, Priests
of Baal—" Baal, we cry to thee," produced quite an
electrical effect, and a recitative and air by Staudigl,
"Draw near, all ye people, come to me," was executed
in a masterly style. The recitative and chorus, by
Madame Carodori Allan and Staudigl, " Oh, man of
God, help thy people," and " Behold,Th little cloud
ariseth now from the waters • it is like a man's hand,"
executed in an incomparable manner, concluded the
first part. The most noticeable features in the second
part were a recitative by Herr Staudigl, "The Lord
hath exalted thee from amongst thy people." Recita-
tive, Mr. Lockey, " Man of God, now let my words
be precious in thy sight, thus saith Jezebel, Elijah is
worthy to die." Air, "It is enough, oh Lord; now
take away my life." Recitative, " Arise, Elijah, for
thou hast a long journey before thee," by Miss Dolby
and Herr Staudigl, and a chorus, " Behold, God the
Lord passed by." Beauties exist in almost every line
of Elijah. 1791. was collected at the doors of the
cathedral yesterday, for the purposes of charity.

Ogle (the Commander-in-Chief), Rear-Admiral Hyde
Parker, Captain-Superintendent Sir W. E. Parry,
and the Deputy-Lieutenant-governor and staff, and a
guard of honour of the 60th Rifles, under the com-
mand of Major Temple.

requisition, and Captain Pasco, of the Victory, steered
her Majesty tolthe Fire' Queen steam-yacht, Lieute-
nant-Commanding C. R. Johnson, which got under
weigh at two minutes past one, and with the royal
standard at her main, steamed out of harbour at a
railway pace with the usual ceremonies, and arrived

one minutes to two.

of the Royal Family, and have received complimentary
visits from the corps diplomatique at Mivart's. The
Duke is a member of the Royal Family of Denmark, and
married the youngest daughter of the late King Frederick
VI. of Denmark, whose previous marriage with the

of lands, around the Borough Inn of Cheltenham, is
announced by Mr. Robins to take place next month at
the Queen's Hotel. So great hitherto has been the dif-
ficulty to obtain land in fee simple around this favoured
town, that we understand capitalists of all denominations
are on the alert to avail themselves of a chance of pur-
chasing lands which has not occurred for years.

•LTHE WIDOW AND PROPERTY
OF CORDER, THE MURDERER.
Although nearly twenty years have passed away
since the horrible tragedy of the Red Barn, at Pol-
stead, in Suffolk, everything connected with William
Corder, the notorious actor in it, still possesses a
strong morbid interest with the public. Accordingly,
the appearance of his widow in the character of a
plaintiff, at the Colchester County Court, last Monday,
caused a sensation not usually belonging to such
proceedings, now that their first blush of novelty is
over. It was an action against Elizabeth and Martin
Harvey (the former her late husband's sister), to
recover 19/. 19s. 6d. damages for an alleged forcible
ejectment, injury to furniture, slander, &c.; and the
proceedings showed that a considerable ill-feeling had
arisen between the parties respecting the right of pos-
session to some cottages in the village of West Bergholt,
about four miles from Colchester. These, it appeared,
changed hands prior to Corder's trial, to save them
from confiscation to the Crown, the widow afterwards
contending that such was only a colourable transfer ;
and the other parties representing that it was a regular
sale and purchase. Notwithstanding this difference,
Mrs. Corder for some considerable time occupied one
of the tenements, till ultimately matters grew so hot
that Mrs. Harvey, with her sons and daughters,
ejected her and her son perforce, removed their
furniture into the road, and prevented them from
re.entering. This was the subject of the present
action. Mr. Harvey's name had been inserted in the
declaration merely as responsible for the acts of his
wife ; but as he some years ago absconded, and has
not since been heard of, he of course could not be
served with the summons, and this, together with the
fact of the declaration including slander and other
matters not cognizable by county courts, were seized
upon by Mrs. Harvey's solicitor as objections to the
validity of the proceedings. These objections under-
went considerable discussion, and eventually the case
was adjourned to allow Mrs. Corder's attorney to
amend her declaration, and to produce authorities in
answer to the first objection. Mrs. Corder repre-
sented herself as in very distressed circumstances.
