a speedy completion of that portion of the netr
Palace at Westminster to be devoted to the use of the
Commons, graciously expressed her intention of causing
the buildings to be proceeded with as speedily as possible.

WEST INDIA COLONIES.
Lord G. BENTINCK gave notice that it was Lis
intention, at an early period of the ensuing session,
to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the con-
dition and prospects of the West India Colonies, with
respect to its ability to compete with slave-holding
countries in the production of sugar.
The House was then summoned by the Usher of the
Black Rod to attend at the bar of the House of Lords,
to hear her Majesty deliver her most gracious speech on
the prorogation of Parliament, and the Speaker, accom-
panied by the greater part of the Members present, pro-
ceeded to the bar of the House of Lurds accordingly.
The SPEAKER having returned to the House, read the
Speech from the Chair, and thus was the business of
this, the most imprtant Parliament ever assembled since
the passing of the Reform Bill, brought to a close.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
CITY OF LONDON.
Thursday evening the Liberal candidates, Sir George
Larpent and Baron Rothschild, attended a meeting of
electors at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road.
Mr. LAWRENCE having taken the chair,
qßaron ROTHSCHILD presented himself amid loud
cheers, and proceeded to say that he was favourable to
civil and religious liberty, on which grounds he came
forward to claim their sympathies and assistance.—
(Cheers.) He wished to say something about some ob-
servations that had been made by the Conservative can-
didate. Mr. Bevan. There was no more cacdid and ho-
nourable gentleman than he was—(Hear, hear)—but
yesterday he had alluded to him (Baron Rothschild) as
the foreign baron. Now, he believed his (Baron R)ths-
, child's) opiniors wero foreign to him in every respect,
but he saw nothing else to provoke or justify the observe-
tion.—(Cheers.) With regard: to his opinions, he was
favourable to extending in every way the blessings of
education. He came forward t) claim their support iu
the cause of civil an rdigious liberty.—(Cheers.)
Sir GEORGE LARPENT then gave an account of his
principles at great length to the meeting, and expressed
that adherence to free trade, and opposition to endow-
ments, which we have frequently had occasion to com-
municate to our readers in resorting his sentiment!.
Mr. PATTISON, jun., having addressed the meeting on
the part of his father,
A resolution was passed, on the motion of Mr. W.
HAWES, pledging the meeting to support the four Liberal
candidates.

HEREFORD.—Captain Hibbert, a Liberal of great local
nfluence, will no doubt be returned for this borough. Sir
R. Price retires. Mr. Clifford, a local gentleman, has
withdrawn. Captain Hibbert and a Conservative will
be returned without opposi don.
BATH. —On Tuesday evening a meeting of the elec-
tors of the Waleot district was held, Mr. George Ed-
wards in the chair ; at which a resolution, pledging the
mewing: to support the present members, Mr. Roebuck
and Lord Duncan, was carried unanimously. At this
period the room in which the meeting was being held,
became so densely crowded, that the electors were
obliged to adjourn to the outside of the house, where
they were addressed by both the present members at
great length. Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck afterwards
addressed a numerous meeting from the windows of the
Liberal Association Rooms, Bath-street.
CAMBRIDGE.—Tho state of parties in this borough is
extraordinary and confused. There are now in reality
fur candidates in the field. Until Friday last there
were only two, Messrs. Adair and Campbell, on the
Whig interest. It will be remembered that a month
since Mr. Sutton voluntarily retired, after addressing a
public meeting convened by himself. A few days atter
the excitement of the installation was over a search
for a successor to Mr. Sutton was renewed, and
Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., was introduced as the Con-
servative candidate. He issued his address on
Friday, the 16th, and on Saturday received
a cordial welcome at a public meeting of the Conserva-
tive electors ; when the following resolution was carried
by an overwhelming majority :—" That this meeting
having heard with the greatest satisfaction the sentiments
expressed by L. C. Humfrey, Esq., is of opinion that he
is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in
Parliament." On Monday, the 19th, to the astonish-
ment of all parties, Mr. Sutton re-appeared in the field,
in consequence of having received a requisition so to do.
This requisition has not been published, and the natural
rence is that it is not numerously signed. It will
thus be seen that Mr. Humfrey has every right and title
be considered as the first Conservative candidate. He
is cordially received by the electors, and the most san-
guine hopes of his success are entertained.
CHELTENIIAM.—Sir W. Jones, the Conservative
candidate, has hitherto met with an enthusiastic recep-
tion, and, if we may judge from present appearances,
Mr. C. Berkeley's seat is very insecure. The latter gen-
tleman's speech on the Health of Towns Bill appears to
have given mortal offence to a large number of his con-
stituents, and his subsequent explanations are deemed
anything but satisfactory by even many of his most ar-
dent supporters. The existence of the " Berkeley feud"
has also damaged the Liberal cause. Captain Carrington
Smith, who is, according to his own account, " his own
chairman, his own electioneering agent, his own com-
mittee, and almost his own bill-sticker, also comes for-
ward on the C.nservative interest, without,' however,
the remotest chance of success, although the Captain de-
clares lie is determined to go to the poll.
CRICKLADE.—Mr. John Neeld solicits a renewal of
the confidence of the electors of this borough. Mr.
Neeld's re-election, without opposition, is considered
certain.

DEVONPORT.—Mr. J. Sanders, jun., a private gentle-
man from Liverpool, has just addressed the electors on
Conservative principles, and commenced an akive can-
vass. Tne other candidates are Mr. Tufnel, of the
Treasury, one of the present representatives, and Mr.
Romilly, the Member for Bridport.
EvEsnAm.—This borough is now become the arena
of high political strife. Mr. Rudge, the new candidate,
who offered his services to the electors a month ago,
has retired, and Sir Ralph Howard appears in the field
as his successor.

HEREFORD CITY.—On Monday night a meeting of the
Liberal electors was held in the noble room of the Great

Dragon Hotel. The chair was filled by Mr. Benbow.
About 300 attended, and the greatest harmony pre-
vailed. Mr. George Clive, Judge of the Southwark
County Court, explained the position he was in owing
to the legal point raised by Sir James Graham in the
House of Commons as to the eligibility of County Court
judges sitting in Parliament. He mentioned that he
had taken the opinion of the Attorney General and other
gentlemen, who were favourable to his own impression
that he was not disqualified. Mr. Clive touched upon
the difficulty- Sir James Graham had in getting seated
in Parliament, and joking said—Perhaps Sir James had
a notion of trying Hereford himself. Should Sir James
fail in his motion, which would be set at rest within
a few hours, he (Mr. Clive) should be at their service,
anxious to s'cure the highest object of his ambition,
that of representing Hereford, which had shown so much
attachment to his lamented father and gallant brother,
both now no more. Mr. Clifford (chairman of the
county sessions) was introduced as a candidate, only in
the event of Mr. Clive being ineligible. lie briefly
stated his opinions ; and, in answer to an elector,
avowed himself opposed to the endowment of the Ro-
man Catholic clergy, and also favourable to the ballot.
The cries were loud and general for Mr. Symons to be
heard on Mr. Clifford resuming his seat, and after a
little parley, Mr. Jelenger C. S)mons, of the Oxford
circuit, addressed the meeting in a forcible speech. He
was ready to make himself a useful working Member of
Parliament, but he would not involve himself in heavy
expenses to support a contest. He came not to divide
the Liberal interest, but to offer his services, as he
found a doubt was rife as to the possibility of Mr.
Clive coming forward. He declared his objection
to any further state endowments, and should oppose
any such measure if he was in Parliament. He with.
drew from the field, as he was perfectly satisfied with
the principles of Mr. Clifford, to whom he paid a
well timed compliment for his ability and impartiality
as chairman of the county sessions. Resolutions were
carried unanimously expressive of approval of Sir
Robert Price's conduct, and their determination to sup-
port, as his colleague, Mr. George Clive. If he was
incompetent by any subsequent decision of the House
of Commons, then to rally round Mr. Clifford, and
support his return in the place of their Member, Mr.
Pulsford, retiring on the plea of ill health.
Hortsuam.—Mr. Jervis's canvass is most successful,
and the whole weight of the Shelley interest is cast into
the scale in his favour. Such being the case, the issue
can't( tbe doubtful. Prudence would counsel the retire-
ment of Mr. Fitzgerald from the contest.
HUNTINGDON.—This borough may now be included in
the category of places where the return of the sitting
Members will meet with opposition. Colonel Peel and
Mr. Baring are to be opposed by Mr. Prendergast, the
barrister, who advocates generally the principles of the
present Government. A committee is already formed in
his behalf, and are most strenuously exerting themselves
to secure his return.

LEWES —The Hon. Mr. Fitzroy and Mr. Perfect, the
sitting members, have been engaged during the week in
canvassing the electors of the borough. The threat of
the Conservative Protectionists to bring a candidate
against Mr. Fitzroy was not redeemed till yesterday,
when an address was issued from a Mr. Godfrey Hudson,
dated from the Temple. Mr. Hudson is for giving free
trade a fair trial, and returning to a " sounder" 3 stem,
should the trial be unfavourable to free trade; but in the
interim he would repeal the malt and hop taxes. The
existing poor-law, he says, has many clauses which are
unnecessarily cruel and severe, and not calculated
to make the labourer an industrious and useful member
of society, but a discontented man and a disaffected sut -
ject. He wished to see the law so framed as to secure
a comfortable shelter for the intim, the aged, and the
sick, and a refuge for the destitute who could not obtain
employment, while to those who manifested an idle and
insubordinate disposition he would secure food, but
would apply to them most stringent regulations. Mr.
Hudson is reported to be a barrister, and a nephew of
the " railway king."
LANCASHIRE (NORTH) deputation from the com-
mittee appointed by the electors of the northern division

of the county of Lancaster at the meeting held at Pres-
ton, on Monday afternoon, has been sent to Mr. Charles
Towneley, of Towneley, to request him to allow himself
to be put in nomination as a candidate for the represen-
tation, in conjunction with Mr. W. Patten. Mr. Towneley
is a free trader, a firm and consistent Liberal, a Roman
Catholic, and a man of large lauded possessions,
ancient family, and great local influence. We have
good authority for stating that when Mr. Towneley
was consulted on the subject a few days ago he expressed
his readiness to come forward if the state of the electoral
register warranted the proposal of a Liberal candidate,
and a proper requisition were forwarded to him, ex-
pressing the desire of the eleetors that he should stand.
There is. therefore, little doubt that he will be the op
ponent of Mr. Talbot Clifton at the forthcoming election,
and the most sanguine expectations are entertained of
his triumphant return.
NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. The present friends of
monopoly, Mr. Houldsworth and Lord Henry Bentinok,
are to walk over the course.
SOUTII NOTTINGHANSUIRE.—CoIoneI Rolleston and
Mr. Hildyard, two other friends of monopoly, ditto.
PLYMOUTH.—There are now four candidates fairly in
the field—viz., Lord Ebrington, one of the present repre-
sentatives; Mr. Calmady, of Langdon-hall, the chairman
of ;he Free-trade Association; Mr. Crowder, the Recorder
of Bristol, whose opinions assimilate to those of Lord
Ebrington; awl Mr. R. Palmer, the eminent barrister
of Lincoln's Inn, 11 ho is supported by the Conservatives.
Mr. Wilcocks, another barrister, who presented himself
to the electors, has retired from the contest in favour of
Mr. Calmady. Should the four candidates above-named
go to the poll, it is impossible for any person to predict
now the sure return of any one of them. The schism
caused by the altered courses of the two great party
leaders, Peel and Russell, has been so widened and con-
founded by local and personal circumstances in this
borough as to throw into confusion all electionary cal-
culations.
PRESTON.—Mr. Robert Townley Parker, who sat for
Preston from 1837 till 1841, has been brought forward
by the Conservatives as a candidate for this borough.
Mr. Parker's committee have published a letter
from him to Mr. Charles Swainson intimating his
readiness to stand, but giving no exposition of his
political principles. When in Parliament before he
was a Protectionist, and a steady supporter of the then
pelicy of Sir Robert Peel. Mr. Parker was a candidate at
the election in 1841, but was then defeated by a large ma-
jority. The addresses of Sir George Strickland and Mr.
Charles Pascoe Grenfell, containing the customary pro-
testations of adherence to free trade doctrines, to the
principles of civil and religious liberty, and to the policy
of progressive reform and a reduction of the burdens of
taxation, were published on Tuesday morning, and have
given general satisfaction.

SUNDERLAND.—The contest in this place is assuming a
warlike aspect between the Liberal candidates, or rather
their friends, who are now convinced that Mr. Hudson
will be elected by a very large injority, and the parties
supporting Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Barclay are each
directing their efforts to secure the second seat for the
candidate whose cause they respectively espouse. The
Wilkinson party arc very hostile to Mr. Barclay, and
express their determination to defeat his election, it
possible. Mr. Barclay has to-day published an address,
in which he states that he is gratified to find, from the
promises of votes that have been made to him, that he
will again be returned, and he at the same time pledges
himself to maintain the existing navigation-laws in all
their integrity. A meeting of his supporters has been
held to. d iy, when he made a similar dtclaration, and, as
this is the pivot on which the election of the second
candidate will turn, there can be no doubt rationally
entertained but that Mr. Hudson will be very high at the
head of the poll, and Mr. Barclay second, by a consider-
able majority over Mr. Wilkinson.
SURREY ( WEST).—Mr. W. J. Denison has again of-
fered himself as a candidate. Mr. Trotter retires, and
Mr. Drummond, of Albury Park, comes forward in the
Conservative interest.—Surrey Gazette.

WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST).—DROITIVICH, TUESDAY.
—Mr. Hodgetts Foley, who it will be remembered retired
(ATpr
No Tory candidate has
yet appeared against Messrs. King and Alcock.

Barneby, is the first in the field for East Worcestershire.
His address has appeared here (the returning place for

Captain Rush-
out, the present
Member, will solicit re-election; and it
is not expected (in consequence of the extraordinary
compact entered into at the
last election) that any oppo •
sition will be raised to Mr. Foley's election.

YARMOUTH.—There are now Ave candidates canvass-
ing for the representation of this borough, three of whoa.
must necessarily either withdraw or be defeated. They-
are Mr. Rumbold (who has represented the borough 30
years), Mr. F. H. Goldsmid, Mr. R. J. 133gshaw, Lord
Arthur Lennox and Mr. 0. E. Coope. The first three
candidates mentioned above avow Whig and
Radical principles; the two latter are liberal
Conservatives. In consequence of recent divi-
sions the Whig Radical party is split into at least
half a dozen distinct sections, and all three can-

dictates are canvassing quite dissociated from any col-
league. The Conservative candidates are united. Each
party has issued its address; and in many points—in-
deed on most subjects—the very same principles are
avowed. Mr. Bagshaw differs most; he desires triennial
Parliaments, a great extension of the suffrage, vote by
ballot, and, though a member of the Established Church,
will vote, though not immediately, for its separation
from the State. This has satisfied the political Noncon-
formists, who have agreed to vote for him because of this
and his promised opposition to all educational or reli-
gious endowments. The other four candidates are free
traders, friendly to civil and religious liberty, opposed
to the separation of Church and State, and to the en-
dowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood, or to voting
public money in support of religious seminaries. There
is not, however, an exact uniformity, inasmuch as Mr.
Rumbold is still inclined to continue the Maynooth grant.
and Mr. Goldsmid, being a Jew, contemplates the
eventual disunion of the Church from the State with no
apprehension or alarm.

ABERDEEN (CITY OF).—Although rumours have again
revived of contemplated opposition to the return of Capt.
Fordyce as Member for this City, yet no other candidate,
as far as we can learn, has yet given his name or stated
his pretensions. In the meantime, from the movements
of parties, it seems not unlikely that a contest may be
attempted. The Conservatives -desire to keep their
friends unpledged. Another party would embrace
electors of all political opinions, in favour of a candidate
of "ability and business experience." A third would
have the dissenting interest efficiently represented; and
a fourth would "go " for the " live points of the
Charter." Such are the discordant sections into which
it is sought to divide the constituency—no unfavourable
omen for the success of the Gallant Captain.
DUMBARTONSHIRE.—A liberal and independent can-
didate has started for Dumbartonshire, with excellent
prospects of success. The candidate is Mr. Thorna.,
Campbell Robertson, who, in th? civil service in India
has proved his abilities and integrity, and attained h
eminence.

ELGIN DISTRICT.—Mr. Bannerman arrived in Banff
on Saturday evening, and was to begin his canvass of
the electors there and in Macduff on Monday. His
opponents are very active.
FALKIRK BURGHS.—We are authorised to state that
Mr. Wilson has not withdrawn from his intention of
offering himself for these burghs.—Glasgow Argus.
FIFE (COUNTY OF) —A requisition is now in course
of receiving signatures respectfully requesting Mr. Tin-
dall Bruce, of Falkland, to offer himself as a candidate
for the representation of the county.—Fifesliire Journal.
INVERNESS.—Mr. Matheson, of Ardross, has bean
prosecuting his canvass in this town,
and will speedily
proceed to the other burghs. He has been well received
by the electors.
INVERNESS BURGHS.—WhiIe at press intelligence has
arrived, by the London mail, of the intention of Richard
Hartley Kennedy, Esq., to contest the representation of
the burghs, on thoroughly independent
principles. Mr.
Kennedy is deputy chairman of the Oriental Bank, and
chairman of the India and London Assurance Company.
Ile moreover, a gentleman of high education, good
talents as a speaker, independent fortune, and perfect
freedom from the shackles of party.—ltiverness Journal.
KIRKALDYTurcT.—An address of Colonel Fergu-
son, the present representative of these burghs, to the
constituency, has been issued. No opposition is thought
of here.

Lord Advocate's votes on public questions and his
effective promotion of the local interests of the burghs

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
I
A new opera by Verdi, composed expressly.ii for her
Msjesty'a Theatre, conducted by the
! imself,
with Jenny Lind as the prima donna, nna
ever to the doors of this theatre. Last nightfaitt
and including in
its cast Lablache, Coletti, and Gardoni—such such was the
attriotion :h drew on Thursday greaterni— ovvds thin
not an
extra night, albeit it was a Thursday.
and Prince Albert, who honoured the theatre with Majestytheir
presence, were in their box long before the commence-
ment
of the overture, The opera" I Masnadieri" saadaptation of the "Robbers" of Schiller, the plot of
which which is admirably adapted to operatic pur-
poses. Verdi has been fortunate; in securing the
services of such a poet as the Chevalier Maffie, the
author of the libretto who has rendered many of the
most magnificent passages of the original, and who has
constructed one of the most interesting -lyrical dramas
ever represented on the stage. With such a libretto
failure would be all but impossible, under any circum-
stances. The chef d'oeuvre of Schiller is so familiar to
every lover of the drama, that we need not detail the plot.
The following was the cast of last night-•-a cast which,
for strength, has never been approached:—
Carlo Moor Gardoni.
Francesco Moor Coletti.
Massimiliano Moor Lablache.
Moser
Arminio
Amalia
Verdi, oq his appearance in the orchestra, was received
with repeated bursts of applause, which were gracefully
acknowledged by the Maestro. There is a beautiful
:I:rlo.ah
violoncello solo in the overture, which contrasts exqui-
sitely, by its softness and melody, with the more noisy
parts of the composition, and which was listened to with
breathless attention. The opening scene is in a tavern
on the confines of Saxony, and Carlo is discovered read-
ing Plutarch. In a recitative, in which much of the
beautiful poetry of Schiller is preserved, he expresses
his disgust at the " age of cowards," in which he lives,
and his gloomy reflections are interrupted by a lively
chorus behind the scenes ; then follows a beautiful
cavatina, " 0 mio cartel paterno," in which he antici-
pates with joy his return to his father's house, and which
was exquisitely rendered by Gardoni, and procured for
him a well-deserved round of applause. The robbers
enter ; a letter is brought to Carlo. It is from
his father, &casting him off for ever. His agi-
tation is extreme. His friends propose to form them-
selves into a band of robbers, and to choose him as their
chief, and the scene ends with a spirited cabaletta by
Carlo, " Nell' argilla, maladetta," which was given with
great spirit by Gardoni, who was called on at the
conclusion of the scene. The next scene is in the
castle of the Moors, and we find Francesco, the younger
brother of Carlo, rejoieing at the success of his machi-
nations for the ruin of Carlo, and plotting the death of
old Massimiliano, his father. This scene was superbly
acted by Coletti. His manner of giving the con-
cluding words of the scene, " Trionfo, trionfo col-
pito ho eel segno,“ was the very acme of the
expression of triumphant villany. lie then in
structs Arminio (the Hermann of Schiller) to forge
the story of Carlo's death, and relate it to the old
man, and the scene concludes with a spirited aria, " Tre-
mati o miseri," which was given by Coletti with great
spirit and immense power. The scene then changes to
another part of the castle, where old Massimiliano is

discovered asleep. Amalia enters, and gently approaches
his couch, and the appearance of Mademoiselle Jenny
[And was, of course, the signal for reiterated plaudits.

literal translation from Schiller) was exquisitely given;
nothing could exceed the beautiful simplicity and pathos
with which she warbled this exquisite aria. The applause
at the conclusion was enthusiatic. Then follows

a duet by Lablache and Jenny Lind (our readers may
imagine the treat which it must be to hear the two most
accomplished artistes in the world singing together), and
the act concludes with a quintette, in the course of which
the news of Carlo's death is told by Arminio, and which
was magnificently sung and acted by Mademoiselle Jenny
Lind, Lablache, and Coletti. At the fall of the curtain,
all the artistes were called for and bouquets innumerable
were showered upon the Lind. When she retired there
were loud calls for the Maestro, and Verdi made his
appearance, led on by Lablache. The second act
opens with Amelia at the tomb of Massimiliano.
She has left the infamous banquet of Francisco to pour
forth her sorrows at the neglected tomb of his father.
She is interrupted by the chorus of bacchanals within,
who are drinking with Francesco. This chorus is un-
accompanied, and the dramatic effect produced by the
contrast of this joyous chorus, with the plaintive notes of
Amelia, is very fine. The music of this scene too is
perfectly original, and is worthy of the situation. This
scene is a great triumph for Verdi, and the concluding
aria, " Volasti alma beata," for Jenny Lind, one of
the most expressive melodies in opera, was given with a
sweetness and feeling which left nothing to be desired.
Arminio enters, and tells her that Carlo yet lives, and
after a moment's 'stupor, she bursts out into the most
exuberant expressions of rapturous joy, in the aria
" Carlo vive ! 0 caro accent°, which may be regarded
as the gem of the opera. Nothing could exceed the
acting and singing of Jenny Lind in this aria. Verdi
had afforded her an opportunity of bringing all
the resources of her art into play, an oppor-
tunity of which she well knew how to avail
herself. She imparted her own enthusiasm to her
audience. Never had such enthusiastic applause been
heard within the walls of her Majesty's Theatre as
greeted her at the conclusion of this aria. She
was obliged to repeat it, and again at its
conclusion was the applause resumed, and after
that she was called on twice, and bouquets without
number were thrown to her. A fine scene fol-

lows, in which she rejects with scorn the suit of Fran-
cesco, and which was superbly acted by Coletti and
Jenny Lind. This scene concludes with a spirited
duet, " Ti scosta impudente," which was much applauded
The last scene of the second act is laid in the neighbour-
hood of Prague, in the robbers' camp, and the act con-
cludes with a spirited but somewhat noisy chorus of
robbers. The third act is, perhaps, taken as a whole,
the best in the opera. The first scene is in the forest,
in which Amalia has sought refuge from the pursuit of
Francesco. Here she meets Carlo, and the duet " Tab-
bracio," by Jenny Lind and Gardoni, is one of the most
effective bits (both musically and histrionically) in the
opera. The Cabaletta. " Las:•it risolendere," with which
it concludes, is exceedingly beautiful, and at its conclusion
they were both called on. Then follows a chorus of
robbers, a fine massive composition, and then the dis-
covery of old Massimiliano in the cave, in which he had
been confined by Francesco, who had spread the report
of his death; and the oath by Carlo and his band to
avenge his wrongs. The description by Lablache of his
suffering was one of the most effective pieces of musical
declamation ever heard, and the oath of vengeance by
Carlo, and the chorus, which is the finale to the act,
was magnificently given, and insured for Lablache
and Gardoni, and for the Maestro, Verdi himself, the
honour of a call at the conclusion of the act.
The fourth act opens with the interview between the
Priest and the conscience-stricken Francesco, in
which the acting of Coletti, as he describes the terrific
dreams by which he is haunted, is quite appalling. The
chorus of robbers attacking the castle is then heard be
hind the scenes, and Francesco flies in despair. The
last scene is in the wood—Carlo has asked a blessing
of the old man (who knows not his son) as his
preserver. He has received it, when the band enter
dragging in Amalia. She flies to the arms of Carlo for
rescue, and discovers that her lover is the captain of the
robbers. Horror-stricken at her situation, she demands
death at his hands ; and, to save her from the insults of
the robbers, he stabs her. Nothing could exceed the
enthusiasm of the audience at the fall of the curtain.
Three times was Jenny Lind called forward, and then
Verdi was led forward to receive the applause
of the house. Her Majesty remained until the
conclusion of the opera, and then left the theatre, ac.
companied by Prince Albert, and her suite. The Royal
party seemed delighted with the opera, and the applause
bestowed on the various artistes by the party in the royal
box must have been most gratifying to them.
The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
honoured the performances with their presence. The
Royal suite included the Countess of Mount Edgecombe,
the Baroness de Sparti, the Hon. Miss Murray, the
Hon. Miss M'Donald, the Earl of Morley, Colonel
Buckley, Colonel Zeymuret, ann Mr. Ormsby Gore.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by his
Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Weimar, the Che-
valier Corre de Sa, the Countess of Sheffield, and Lady
Susan Halroyd, and attended by the Hon. Miss Eden,
the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Ashley, and Mr. Taylor, also
honoured the theatre on this occasion with her presence.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge, attended by the Ladies Honoria and Augusta
Cadogan. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Baron Tusbeck,
Mr. C. St. John Mildmay, and Dr. Quinn, were also pre•
sent. Amongst the company were—the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Prince Louis Napoleon, the Duke of Leeds,
the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, and Lady Augusta
Paulet, the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Ladies Levi-
son Gower, the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas,

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.
Mozart's Nozze di Figaro, which has been fur some
time in preparation, was produced here ou Thursday,
with a degree of care ant splendour worthy of tins
wonderful composition of the Gran Maestro." The
cast was as follows:
Susanna Madame Grisi.
The Countess Mdlle. Steffanoni.
Cherubino Mdlle. Alboni.
Marcellina Mdlle. Bellini.
Count Almaviva—Signor Tamburini.

Bartolo Signor Rovere.
Antonio ... ...... Signor Polonini.
Basilio Signor Lavia.
Figaro Signor Marini.
It is, perhaps, not too much to say that never has this
opera been so perfectly produced in England as at
Covent-garden last evening. To detail every feature
worthy of commemoration would be to go through the
entire opera from the commencement to the close. Grisi
as Susanna, and Tamburini as the Count, sustained the
most important parts in the opera, and certainly they
could not have been in better or more able hands ; their
excellencelin these two of their greatest parts, ace too
familiar to require specification Suffice it to say, that,
great as they have ever been, they were never greater
than last night. Grisi's " Venite inginocchiatevei " was
admirably sung, and accompanied with by-play as ad-
mirable with the Page. In the duo " Crude 1 F
with Tamburini, and in that with Mdlle. Steffanoni,ere"
" Sull' aria," she was excellence, and encored in both.
Her celebrated aria " Deh Vieni," from some cause,
was not given, an omission we hope to find
,supplied
in
future performances. Tamburini's Vedro mentr' io
sospiro" was very finely sung, in true Mozartian style;
and in the trio with Grisi and Lavia, " Cosa Sento !"
he was admirable. Alboni, as usual, delighted the
audience, and received the usual flattering testimonials
of approbation. She sung the arias, " Non so piu cosy
sou," and " Voi che sapete che cos a amor," most sweetly,
and with great spirit, and was encored with enthusiasm
in both. Her by-play as the lovesick page was admi-
rable, and so delighted the audiense that, when at the
close of the first act the other principal performers ap-
peared 'on the stage without her, the calls for " Alboni,
Alboni," became so vociferous hat, although changing
her dress, she was compelled to hasten before them
to receive the congratulations so justly merited.
Madlle. Steffanoni, as the Countess, was very well re-
ceived, and deservedly so. Her performance was grace-
ful, elegant, and artistic. She sung the aria, " Porgi
amor," with exquisite feeling and tenderness; as also
the " Dove sono i bei momenti," in the second act. She
participated with Grisi in the honours of the encore for
" Sull' aria," and the applause bestowed on its delivery.
Marini's Figaro was exceedingly good. At the com-
mencement he appeared rather timid and nervous ;
nevertheless he gave the opening duett, with Grisi,
"Cinque Dieci," and the "Se vuol ballare," with much
effect. He improved as he progressed, until the delivery
of that most magnificent of bass airs, "Non piu andrai,'
which he sung with splendid effect, and was compli-
mented not only with a rapturous encore, but a call
immediately after to receive the congratulations of the
audience. He was very fine in the recitative,
" Tutto e disposto," and the aria following, "Aprite
un po' quegli occhi," which last night,were restored
to their place in the opera. In _all the con-
certed pieceß, his fine bass voice told very well.
Revere's Bartolo was excellent; his " La Vendetta" was
executed with admirable effect, and loudly applauded;
and in the concerted portions of the opera he was
invaluable. Madame Bellini and Signors Lavia and
Polonini sustained their parts-with great credit. Lavia's
" In quegli anni" was sung admirably, and elicited great
applause. It is needless to say that all the concerted
parts and choruses were rendered with great
effect. The beautiful finale of the first act was
one of the most perfect performances we have heard. At
the end of each act and the fall of the curtain, the prin-
cipal artists were called forth to receive the well-merited
ovations, and throughout the performance, and at the
close, floral showers were liberally bestowed upon Grisi,
Alboni, and Steffanoni. A new ballet, composed by Signor
Casati, was produced for the delnit of Mdlle. Fuoco.
who last season obtained so much approbation at Drury-
lane. The scenery is extremely picturesque, the music
good, and some of the groupings were very beautiful and
original. Mdlle. Fuoco was received with great enthu-
siasm, and her performance evinced talents of a high
order. She was encored in one of her brilliant pas a la
Fanny Ellsler. Her most successful efforts were a pas
de deux with M. Mabille, and a pas d'ensemble, in which
the groupings were extremely beautiful. She was called,
at the fall of the curtain last evening, to receive a floral
ovation.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
THE CATTLE SHOW.

NORTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, JULY 22.—Northampton
has seldom, if ever, presented a more animated appear-
ance than it has shown to day. Visitors began to arrive
as early as six o'clock in the morning, the hour at which
the show-yard opened. From that time until three
o'clock in the afternoon thousands continued to pour
into the town, on foot and in vehicles of various kinds;
whilst every train which arrived at the stat on deposit( d
hundreds at once. The inn-yards being incapable of
holding a tithe of the vehicles brought into the town,
carriages, gigs, waggons, and carts were placed in rows
in the streets and market-place. The streets were
crowded, and the principal routes from the town to the
show were filled up with a continuous stream of people,
the appearance of the majority of whom bespoke them
agriculturists.
Notwithstanding the rule laid down by the society for
discouraging the exhibition of over-fed animals, there
were several in the show which came muter that de-
nomination. This may be attributed to the circumstance
of this being the first show which has taken place since
the common-sense view of the subject has been adopted
by the society. Now that its fiat has gone forth, the
expensive process of manufacturing fat for the grease-
pot, lately so much in vogue, will gradually be aban-
doned, and one may not despair of seeing, in a year or
two, even at the Smithfield show, animals that are really
well fed and healthy.
THE DINNER.

The dinner took place in a tent erected in a part of
the town called Waterloo. This pavilion, which was
erected by Mr. Manning, of High Holborn, is an ad-
mirable piece of workmanship, and well merits a minute
description, did space permit it.
Upwards of 1,100 gentlemen sat down to dinner, the
Earl of Egmont in the chair ; the Earl of Yarborough
vice-president. Amongst the company were the Duke
of Buccleuch, Marquises of Exeter, Northampton,
Downshire ; Earls Delawarr, Spencer, and Chichester ;
Viscounts Sydney, Hill, and Newry and Morne ; Lords
Rivers, Walsingham, Portman, St. John, Southamptmi,
and Pomfret, Fielding ; Hon. Captain Dddley Pelham,
Hon. Philip Pierrepont, Hon. 11. W. Wilson, Hc.n. W.
Gage ; Sirs J. Johnstone, Bart., M.P., C. Lemon, Bart.,
M.P., G. Rebinsin, Bart., W. 0. Pell, Bart., Harry
Smith, J. Anson, E. Baker, and C. Knightley ; Mr. P.
Pusey, M.P., Colonel Austen, M.P., Mr. W. Miles,
M.P., Mr. W. G. Hayter, M.P., Mr. H. Stuart, M.P.,
Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., Mr. T. W. Bramston, M.P„ Mr.
T. P. Mansell, M.P. ; Colonels Challoner, Fitzroy,
Gilpin ; Sir E. Bowater ; Major Wollaston ; Mr. H.
Wilson, Mr. T. R. Barker, Mr. J. V. Shelley, Mr. G.
J. Bosanquet, Mr. W. B. Stopford, Mr. Shaw, Mr. W.
F. Hobbs, Mr. Carter, Mr. G. Turner, Dr. Buckland,
Dr. Daubeney, Professor Way, Mr. S. Bennett, Mr. C.
Halyard, Mr. W. R. Browne, and the present and late
mayor.
The dinner was provided by Messrs. Higgins, of the
George Hotel, and was a very good one.
The Rev. Dr. STODART said grace before and after
meat.

Dinner being over,
The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the " Health of
her Majesty," observed, that in all he might say that
evening he would avoid touching uroa any topic likely to
engender ill-feeling. The sole object which should in-
fluence all present was a desire to benefit to the great
society whose anniversary they were assembled to com-
memorate.. He concluded by proposing " The Queen,"
which was drunk with three times three cheers.

, -
The CHAIRMAN then gave" the Health of the Queen
1 Dowager, Prince Albert, the Prince of \Vales, and the
rest of the Royal Family."—(Drunk with three times
three.)
The Earl of CHICHESTER proposed " the Health of
the Foreign Ministers." Upon this occasion the society
was honoured by the presence of Mr. Bancroft, the
American Minister.—(Hear.) It must be pleasing to a
society of Englishmen that the only Minister who hap-
pened to be present was the representative not only of a
great and intelligent nation, but one who derived its
origin from Great Britain.—(Cheers.) It was desirable
to cultivate the friendship of foreign nations, because
nothing was more calculated to enhance the interests of
agriculture than a free communication with scientific men
abt oad. It was unnecessary for him to remind the meet-
ing of the good offices which this country had recently
in her necessity received at the hands of America.—
(Hear, hear.) It had frequently fallen to the lot of the
society to welcome the Ministers of America at their
meetings, but never with more hearty good will than
upon the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded
by proposing " The Foreign Ministers," which was drunk
with three times three.
Mr. BaNcisorr, the American Minister, rose amidst
d
much applause. He said that he could hardly
words to express his gratitude for the .
which his country had been alluded to.

differed very
muchfrom that in England. In England
the farmers went through a course of work which had
been continued from century to century, and had only
to perfect what their forefathers had handed down to
them; the Americans, on the other hand, had to grapple
with the difficulties of nature—to tame, subdue, and
render useful the natural exuberance of their exhaust-
less soil. Nothing had struck him more since ho had
been in in England than the manner in which the fields
were cultivated and weeded by the hoe and the hand. In
America the trees were older than the roads—older that.
the towns-and, where spared, were the oldest monu-
ments existing in the country. In England not an
animal was suffered to live unless it could produce a
passport and prove its right to be fattened and fed.—

(Cheers and laughter.) The farmers of England'
cultivated the soil beneath those beloved chirvehes—
(Cheers)—which stead amidst the graves of their
fathers, that seemed to shed a sacred influence on their
toil. With the Americans, beneath whose blows she
forests fell—with that moving and active population
those who now lived upon the soil were more numerous
than all who slept beneath it.—(Cheers.) There the,
agriculturists, with the instruments of husbandry in
their hands, were obliged to erect school-houses and
churches, and prepare for competition with the mother
country in all that was calculated to promote the pros-
perity of mankind by the advancement of religion, and
the cultivation of science and art.—(Hear, hear.) Itr
the name of every American he responded to the wish
that peace might for ever prevail between the two coun-
tries.—(Chars.) Let it be hoped that the relations of
commerce, and the interchange of intelligence between
the cultivators of the soil in the two countries, would
knit them together in such bonds of amity that no ap-
prehension of a rupture need- be entertained. With these.
sentiments, uttered from his heart and soul, he responded
to the sympathy shown for his country, and would con-
clude by praying for the prosperity of the farmers of
England.—(Loud cheering.)
The CIIAIRMAN rose to propose a toast, which could
not be g:ven if the rules of the society were strictly ad-
hered tc ; but he had no doubt he would be excused for
deviating from them, on account of fle distinguished
merits of the individual to whom he referred,—he meant
" The Hero of Aliwal."---(The toast was drunk amidst
great cheering.)

hunters, as a m fitter of great importance in a military
point of view. A body of English soldiers mounted o*
hunters was a terror which an enemy could not easily
r. silt. That valuable breed of horses was so much de.
teriorated that, if 500 were wanted for the service of the
country at the present moment, he beliesed they could
hot be obtained.—(Hear, hear.)
The Duke of Buccr.zuGu proposed the next toast,
which was, " Success to the Royal Agricultural So.
ciety of England." Hl5 Grace expressed himself in
terms of warm commendation of the exhibition, and said
that persons had come t) visit it from all parts of thu
kingdom.

The toast was drunk with all the honours.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN made an ingenious address in introt
ducing the toast of " Agriculture, Manufactures, and,
Commerce," Rhicb, owing to the late hour at which,thi4
report reached town, it is impossible to give, and thlk
same reason renders an abridgment of the subsequent
portion of the proceedings indispensable. The Hon.
Gentleman concluded by saying he would give the toast
as it was usually written on their election flags, " Tha.
Plough, the Leom, and the Sail,"—might the plough
never break in a furrow, and be still guided by the strong
arm and honest heart;—might the loom still ply and
find employment for labeur;—xand might the sail bear
forth our merchandise and bring back to this haven
of many navies the rich enjoyment of all God's bless.
ings.—(C h eers. )
The toast was much applauded.
The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON proposed the "Health
of the Mayor and Corporation of Northampton."—
___ _ _

(Drunk with three times three.)
The Mayor of NORTHAMPTON returned thanks, and
expressed a hope that the society would soon pay another
visit to Northampton.
Lord PORTMAN said, that it was his duty to propose
as a toast, " The Labouring Classes." He referred to
the difficulty which attended every effort to ameliorate
the condition of the labouring classes, and said, that
whilst it was the duty of society to educate the young
and cherish the old, it no less became it to correct the ill.
doers of the middle-aged. That was the course which,
he had endeavoured to pursue through life. There were
7,000,000 labourers in Great Britain employed in various
occupations, but none of them enjoyed the same advan-
tages as the labourers engaged in agriculture, for they
beheld the. works of God in all their glory. They, too,
saw the great' principle of universal charity in daily
practice ; they saw the sun shine and the rain fall,

without distinction of sect or party, which taught then%
that universal benevolence was the duty of poverty. Its
was in that spirit he called upon them to toast thu
labouring classes.—(Cheers.) All present knew their
worth—(Cheers)—and he trusted they all knew and would
perform their duty towards them. He would apply to
them two old lines, taking the liberty to alter one word:
"Be to their faults a little blind;
Be to their virtures very kind."
His Lordship concluded by-proposing, " The Labouring
Classes."—(Drunk with three times three.)
Mr. VERNON SMITH complained that the variety of
topics which had been offered to the notice of the meet-
ing placed him at disadvantage, for little was left for him
to say. Politics were purposely excluded from that
meeting; but it was not a little curiouato ebserve that
every speaker who had referred to that rule ran as close
to the wind as he could.—(A laugh.) The itch which
speakers seemed to have for transgressing the rule in
question reminded him of an anecdote, which perhaps
the company would excuse him for repeating. A gen-
tleman who took home to dine with him a triend who
had a remarkably large nose, cautioned his wife not to
make any allusion to noses during his friend's visit; the
lady remembered the esution until they were just about
rising from the table, when she said to the gentleman,
" Pray make a long nose and hand me the biscuits."—
(Laughter.) At the present moment the rule operated
with peculiar hardshp upon him and his Hon. Friend,
the Member for Nora amptonshire. For his own part, he
hardly knew whether he had a political position.—(A
laugh.) The Right Hon. Gentleman next adverted to
the presence of many ladies on the show ground and the
pleasure which it gave him to see the fairest of women
among the fattest of oxen, and passing to and fro, with a
lightness of step which would scarcely bend a blade of
gra,s, in the midst of Craskelt'a clod crushers and other
terrible looking implements, formed to tear but not in-
jure the bosom of mother earth."—(Hear and laughter.)
The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded a humorous and
agreeable speech by proposing " The Health of the
President."
The toast was drunk with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks.

Mr. SIIELLEY proposed, " The Judges of the Show."
Re said that some idea might be formed of the arduous
duties which those gentlemen had to perform, when he
stated the fact., that at the first show of the society the
number of implements exhibited was only 23, whereas
at the present exhibition the number amountad to 1,250,
and if placed in a row they would occupy a space a mile
and a quarter in length, by 20 feet broad. Great im-
provement was observable in the animals exhibited, and
the short horns were as fine a lot as ever was submitted
to judges.—(Hear, hear.)
The health of the judges was drunk with three times
three.

Mr. WRICUT returned thanks for himself and his col-
leagues, and expressed a hope that in future exhibitors
would aim less at fattening their ani uals than developing
their points of breeding.—(Applause.)
The following toasts were drunk in succession:—
"The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland,
and the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society :of
Ireland."
The Earl of SILFORD returned tnanks, in the absence
of the Duke of Richmond, who was unable to attend from
illness.
" The Railway Companies, V% 110 have so liberally
carried cattle and implements free of charge to and from
the show."
Mr. HUDSON returned thanks.

" The President elect," proposed by the lion. Octavius
Duncombe.

The Earl of YARBOROUGH returned thanks.

The meeting then broke up.

mated at 5,215,000 &Tars. The grades present no for-
midable obstacles. The road, whenever built, must do
an immense business. It would form a channel of cora-
municatien which would not fail to expedite travel and
business to and from the southern portions of lowa and
Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Southern Michigan, and
the whole northern regions of Indiana and Ohio. The
immense quantities of bread stuffs seeking a market in
the Atlantic regions, and the tide of travel between the
east and west, would furnish an amount of business
whose value can hardly be exaggerated. Soon after the
Erie road shall have been completed to Dunkirk there
will be a continuous line of railroad from New York,
Boston, and " down East," to Chicago.
EXPLOSION IN A TELEGRAPH OFFICE. This iS a
treat, or rather a terror, to come with us; the only thing
that at all approximates to it was that during the storm
last week on the North British, where the lightning
played a variety of pranks, such as pulling the wires
and ringing the alarums along the line. At Albany, on
the 15th of January, a severe storm passed directly
over the city. It was of short duration, but the quan
tity of rain which fell was very great. At about half-
past two o'clock a most violent explosion of electricity
took place in the telegraph-office, disabling the
relay magnets of both lines. The wires attached to the
relays and to the battery was melted off, and the entire
line to New York rendered for a time perfectly useless.
The Western line, as far as Rochester, was got into
operation during the evening; but nothing could be ob-
tained from New York. It was the most serious disaster
the line has sustained from atmospheric electricity since
it has been opened. A t Troy, too, the wires were melted
from the battery and the relay magnates.
In a short time it is expected that the wires of the
telegraph will reach Halifax, thereby bringing England
nearer to us by at least two days. So that the Phila-
delphians safely calculate upon obtaining foreign news
within ten days of the time of the steamer's leaving
England.
TRICKS UPON TELEGRAPPIERS.—A Buffalo produce
dealer, who on Thursday list purchased 10,000 bushels
of wheat from the agent of a house in New York, con-
ditionally that no intelligence of the state of the Euro-
pean markets had been received per the Cambria, has
paid for the same, and instituted a suit against the
party who sold, on the ground of alleged fraud in the
transaction. This suit will be very likely to bring out
the facts in relation to the telegraph.
A great many amusing incidents have occurred in the
market during the past three months, and as no one
has seriously suffered, the trade have been disposed to
enjoy a laugh over the results. A joke is told of a
dealer, who never admits it possible for a neighbour to
be in advance of him. Some time ago, when a packet
with later news was announced at the telegraph office,
two of his friends conspired against him. One was to
invite him to a turn upon the Troy-road, while the
other was to remain for the development of the news.
If the intelligence was favourable, the parties were to
meet on the road and exchange signals, when the victim
was to be drawn into a sale. If unfavourable, it was to
be indicated, and a purchase was to be induced. The
news proved favourable, the signal was given, and a
bargain closed (chile the pet nag was making his mile
inside of three minutes) for a thousand barrels of " Ge-
- nesee," at the ruling prices of the morning. When the
victim reached his office, he found the telegraphic report
of an advance—smelt the rat—took an unusually large
quid of tobacco—and swore perpetual vengeance against
last nags, and drivers on the Troy-road during business
hours. He has nut been hit since.
EXTENSION OF TEIE TELEGRAPIL—Upwards of sixty
miles of the posts are now erected between New York
and Mobile. The whole distance by the route of this
line will be about 150 miles. The posts will be com-
pleted from Petersburgh to Augusta by 15th July,
except a small section of about forty miles beyond
Cheraw. The line will be in full operation as far south as
Charleston, and from hence to Mobile by the Ist of
October. The line, so far as practicable, is brought
along the railroads, all the companies of which hare
acted in the most liberal manner, giving not only the
right of way, but also engaging to superintend the con-
dition of the posts and aires.
DIVIDENDS.—The Tonnewanda railroad company has
declared a dividend of five psr cent. upon its capital, pay-
able on the 1s: of July.
The New York and New Haven road have given notice
that interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum will
be paid to the stockholders on the Ist of July next.
On the Buffalo and Niagara Falls road, a semi-annual
dividend of four per cent. has been declared, payable on
the Ist of July, at the bank of the State of New York.

Witness ourself at Westminster, the 17th day of June
in the tenth year of our reign.
By Writ of _Privy Seal.

In this case the Learned Commissioner Phillips
adopted a new rule in respect to debts under 201. Hi-
therto the Court has decided that in complaints of fraud
where the debts were under 20/., it was useless to remand
the parties, as the creditors could not detain their debtors
in prison. In this case, however, the Court held other-
wise and pronounced a judgment.
It appeared that the insolvent had contracted a debt of
ten guineas with a Mr. Hollis, tailor, of Guildford, for
clothes, on a promise to pay ready money, but ho failed
to keep his word, and hence the present complaint.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS declared that in this case
he should not discharge the insolvent, although the debt
was under 204 He was aware that the opposing cre-
ditor could not detain his debtor, but the detaining cre-
ditor could withhold the discharge, and he should remand
the insolvent.—The insolvent was remanded.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 21.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
There being two other indictments in the Mirfield
murder case,
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN asked Mr. Bliss what course
he intended to pursue ?
Mr. BLISS replied, that in a case of such importance he
wished for time to consider, and it might be proper to
consult some high authority—say, the Secretary of State.
His LORDSHIP assented to this view.
James Bradley, aged 23, and George Bradley, aged
26, brothers, were indicted for the wilful murder of John
Riley, at Sheffield, on the 12th of January last.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (Mr. Pickering and Mr.
Pearce with him) stated the case to the jury for the
prosecution. He said John Riley was a tobacconist,
carrying on business at Sheffield, and living at a place
called Broom Lees, about a rode from Sheffi'eld, on the
Grimthorpe road. He was about forty years of age. Ile
!eft his shop in Sheffield about half-past nine o'clock, and
with a friend, went to the Cattle•market Inn. He left
there to go home about twelve o'clock, and when he got
to a place called Bailey's-gate he was attacked and
robbed, and so injured, that, although he was able to
get home by about two o'clock, on the 16th of January
he died.
Eliza Tune, landlady of the inn, examined—Mr. Riley
and several others were there on the 11th January. He
left there 3 little after 12 o'clock, quite able to know
what he was doing. He had three sixpenny glasses of
brandy and water. He walked perfectly well, and was
quite capable of walking home.
Mary
Riley, widow of the deceased, examined—She
went to the shop at Sheffield. His watch was then in
its place. Her husband came home at twenty minutes
to two o'clock the following morning. She alone was
sitting up for him. He rang the bell, and she let him in.
His lace and hands were covered with blood. He had
no hat on, or stick which he ususually carried. He
walked into the kitchen and sat down on a chair. He
had a large bruise on his forehead. His right hand
pocket was turned out, and one brace broken. At nine
o'clock the following morning she sent for a surgeon.
Her husband died on the following Saturday. His
health was generally good. In the left-hand pocket
there were 155. The watch produced was his. Ile
generally wore it in his waistcoat pocket, without swivel
or guard. Ile had it not when he got home that
morning,
George Bowling, edgetool-maker, examined—On the
Thursday following the murder, James came to the
Coach and Horses, where witness lodged. Witness was
asleep and James woke him, and asked him if he could
sell him a watch? He produced it—it bad no glass or
swivel to it. The one now produced was Lice it. Wit-
ness asked him what he had done with them? He re-
plied he had broken the glass, and broken or thrown the
swivel away. Witness said he would go and see if he
could sell it to a person called Sayles. They then went
to where Sayles worked. Sayles gave him 17's., and
witness gave him the watch. He then went and called
the prisoner James out, and gave him 15s. and kept 2s.
Sayles went away but returned in half an hour. James
said they were not to say anything about the watch, it
had come from Master Riley, the tobacconist, in Wain-
gate.
He had robbed him of his watch and 30s. He had
heard that he had missed 31. and the shop-door key. Ile
said he was alone ; he had stood at the top of a lane by '
the tea-garden cottages, waiting for Riley, and had
knocked him down the first blow. Witness promised he
would not tell. On Sunday night, the 24th of January,
witness saw James again at the Coach and Horses. They
sat together, and James said he had beard Master Riley
was dead, adding, "it is a bad job for me." He then
said it was not he who struck the blow, but he would
not tell who it was—he would stick staunch if he got
hanged for it. He again told witness to say nothing
about it, and he promised ho would not. He said the
police had been to Green's on Saturday. Witness toll
him that Sayles had said he had taken the watch back
and put it by Mr. Riley's garden. wall. He said that
was a good job.
Cross-examined—He first told this on the 3d of April.
There had then been 1001. reward offered. The reason
he did not tell before was, he had had such threats. The
reason he told than was, he could not keep it on his
mind any longer. Ile bad himself been brought before
the justices three times for felony. He had been con-
victed once for one felony only. He had been taken up
for highway
robbery, but he got off. He was dis-
charged.
Re-examined—The conviction was for stealing a pair
of trousers. The third case was this transaction, for
selling the watch.
George
Sayles, cutler, corroborated the last witness.

Mr. Humphrey's clerk contended that there was no,
the least ground here for any prosecution. He was not
authorised to receive the money ; and if he had been the
period for accounting had not come round, which was
the monthly meeting night, and he was not chargeable
with not accounting.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES remarked that if he had suc-
ceeded in getting off to America, he could not have re-
turned in time to account. The intention not to account
was plain enough.
Mr. Humphrey's clerk suggested there must be proof
of not accounting at the proper time. He might have
left the money for the society with a friend.—(A laugh.)
The ALDERMAN said he felt that there was no ground
for this bold assertion, that the prisoner had committed
no offence. It was proved to him that the society wa'
enrolled undei the Benefit Societies Act, and by that
Act any officer having in his or her possession any sum
of money belonging to such society, and fraudulently
withholdir4the same, may be ordered to pay double the
sum so fraudulently withheld, or be committed to hard
labour for 'three months.
Mr. Lewis submitted there was clearly no offence in
the matter. His client had duly entered in the society 's
books every farthing, and that was accounting, though
he did not hand over the money. He cited a case where
the judges held that a party was not indictable for
embezzlement in such a state of circumstances.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES had no doubt that
any servant who accounted in writing, but kept the
money, was indictable in some form. Somebody was
injured in the present case, either the member who had
to pay his subscription over again, or the society, who
were defrauded of the money.
Mr. Humphrey's clerk—The prisoner's conduct might
be morally wrong, and yet not legally criminal.
Mr, Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said he considered
these societies had a beneficial operation. The working
classes ought to be encouraged in purchasing houses
when opportunities offered, paying for them, by means
of these societies, by instalments spread over a number
of years, and they should have all the protection he
could give them. But he believed the law bad been ren-
dered doubtful by the conflicting opinions of counsel,
delivered on cases prepared by the building societies on
another point, but which incidentally affected such mat-
ters as the present. He inquired the amount of the
prisoner's deficiencies.
Mr. Digby said he believed they would reach 1001.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES, after some desul-
tory conversation, remanded the prisoner for a week, to
see whether the money would be forthcoming at the
proper time, and whether any other evidence could b
adduced.
The prisoner was then remanded.
By the 4th section of the Building Societies Act, " all
the provisions " of the: two Benefit Societies Acts, " so
far as the same, or any part thereof, may be applicable
to the purpose of any Building Society, and to the
framing, certifying, enrolling, and altering the rules
thereof, shall extend and apply to such benefit building
society and the rules thereof.'
By the Benefit Societies Acts, such societies have the
option of placing the money in the funds, or in a savings'
bank, or with the Sinking Fund Commissioners, or of
loaning it out on the security of real property. By an-
other clause, no instrument or document whatever, autho
rised to be taken or made by the society, is to be subject
to stamp duty.
The building societies expected the 4th section of
their Act gave them the benefit of this exemption on
their mortgages. The Government, however, required
the duty. The opinion of Mr. Tyrell, of Lincoln's Inn,
was taken by the societies, and he thought that all that
was obtained by the 4th clause was so much as applied
to framing and certifying the rules, for he said it was un-
necessary to mention the rules, particularly if all the
provisions of the benefit societies were extended to the
building societies. The opinion of seven counsel were
taken, three were for the exemption from mortgage duty
and four against it. If, however, the building societies
have no other advantages from enrolment under the Be-
nefit Societies Acts than Mr. Tyrell allows, they lose
the advantage of punishing their officers for fraud. The
property of the society is that of a partnership, and does
not rest in the treasurer, nor can they sue or be sued by
their trustee or treasurer.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
John Foster, a journeyman tailor, was placed before
Mr. Hardwick, charged with assaulting a lady of the
name of Fitzherbert, under the following circumstances:
The complainant was returning from the Haymarket
Theatre about twelve on Thursday night, and was pro-
ceeding up the Quadrant, when the defendant, who was
the worse for liquor, went up to her, and accosted her in
an improper manner. She endeavoured to get out of his
way, when he detained her by laying hold of her shoulder
with one hand, and with the other assaulted her in a
very indelicate manner. She called for assistance, and
struggled to get out of his grasp. He was proceeding
to further violence, when fortunately a gentleman came
to her assistance and detained the prisoner till a con-
stable arrived, into whose custody he was at once con-
signed.
The defendant, who pretended to know nothing of the
matter, was fined 51., or one month's imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERD

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English Wheat tor our market since
Monday, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sam-
ple, have been on a very moderate scale, and the show
of samples of that grain here was small. On the
whole, the trade was firm, but no improvement
was noticed in the quotations. Nearly 30,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand
this week, in, for the most part, middling condition.
The best parcels moved off steadily at full prices, but all
other kinds were quite neglected. Although the supply
of barley was small the trade was in a very sluggish
state, at unaltered currencies. Malt ready for delivery
sold in retail at full prices. The Oat trade, owing to
the large imports from abroad, was in a sluggish state,
at unaltered figures. Beans, Peas, Indian Cern, and
Flour, as last advised.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—On Monday
last, Mr. W. West took his benefit at this theatre, and,
as a public favourite, he well deserved the support ren-
dered him on the occasion. The house was crowded to
overflow, which, perhaps, in some measure, arose from
the circumstance of the celebrated Jenny Lind honour-
ing the performances with her presence, and, by
permission, occupied her Majesty's box. The bill of
fare was carried out to its fullest extent, and gave great
satisfaction to all present. On Mdlle. Jenny Lind's
departure, she was loudly cheered, which she very grace
fully acknowledged. Great credit is due to Mr. Batty,
the spirited lessee, and all parties connected with the
establishment, for their politeness to the visitors of the
theatre.

LAMBETH.
John Widdicombe, of Astley's Theatre, who described
himself at the station-house ns stopping at the Tavistock
Hotel, Covent-garden, was charged before Mr. Norton
with creating a considerable disturbance at the house of
Mrs. Smith, 22, Lambeth-road, and wilfully breaking
quantity of glass.
Evidence pro and con. having been received,
Widdicombe was ordered to find two sureties in 501.
each to keep the peace towards Mrs. Smith, her
daughters, and all others of her Majesty's subjects.
James Hay, the driver and part proprietor of the
Dorking coach, appeared to a summons, charging him
with the commission of the following outrage:—
Mr. Benjamin Willoughby, a billiard-table maker,
387, Oxford-street, deposed that on the 15th instant
having occasion to go to Balham-hill, he rode in an om-
nibus, fur which he paid sixpence, and on his return
home he got on a coach driven by the defendant the
other side of Clapham-commun. On reaching the Swan,
at Stockwell, he got off, and handed the defendant six-
pence. He peremptorily demanded a shilling, which
witness refused; upon which he abused him and lashed
him violently with his whip. Witness subsequently
called on the defendant at Charing-cross, when he re-
peated the abuse, and told him he had served him quite
right.
The defendant admitted that ho had whipped the
complainant, because he refused to give him his just
fare, or give his name or address, but he was now sorry
for it.
Mr. NORTON observed that ho thought the outrage so
uncalled for, that unless the complainant requested him
to the contrary he would impose the full penalty.
The complainant did partially interfere, and the de-
fendant was convicted in the penalty of 31. and costs, and
also cautioned as to his future conduct.

SLIAKSPERE'S HOUSE. - Much has: been written
and said on this subject. The Times has published
letters; the Herald has written spirited articles; appeals
have been made to various societies; but the only tangible
move is at the surrey Zoological Gardens, where the
proprietor has constructed an admirable fec-simile of
the house, drawn by Alfred Ctowquil, and which, as a
nucleus for a fancy fair, patronised by the nobility, and
responded to, as we rink it would 17.)e, by the public,
would be the weans of easily raising the necessary funds.
