cot, aequence of the announcement in our paper of
7e a -nat the company would, last evening, perform

play lee them, we attended the performances, which were
MccSetia and 13/ides. fh' house tray be rnd to hav been
at good one et half price, and if those engaged in this new
roqculation could every night secure such a receipt, it would
is the end turn out profitable. It was announced as the last
night that Macready would appear in the part of Macbeth,
and when be came upon the stage he was greeted very on-
thualastically, the audience doing ample justice to the dig-
isiterei4ted nature of his exertions. Perhaps the sacrifice is
hardly to be expected at his hands, that he should con.
time ED play for nothing ; but, as the Haymarket
, eees not oven until the 15th instant, it might be worth
while for the Committee of Management at Drury-lane
pay for nis services for a few more nights, if they
could he obtained. Certainly they can hope for nothing
more attractive ; and looking round the beautiful theatre
last night, we could not but think what a pity it would be
that it should be closed. We earnestly hope for better
things, and trust that, as there is abundance of room for
two great theatres in this metropolis, when properly con-
dtictAd, the public will not fail to encourage the efforts of
thole who, at least, are most anxious to please, and who,
to a certain extent, unquestionably possess the power of
pleasing. The applause during the performance of the
tragedy last night was by no means so warm as we have
beard it, and as the ecting cf Macready, Mrs. Warner,
Paelps, G. Bennet, and others, deserved, for we never
Maw them perform better and take more pains to produce a
favourable impression. At the fall of the curtain Ma-
:ready waa called for, and appeared, to re-receive the gra-
tulation of his numerous friends and ardent admirers.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

DUEL PEEVENTID.—Prince Napoleon, with Le Colin,
Leon, his cuusin, were brought up in the custody of several
constables of the A division, on a charge of attempting a
breach of the peace, by fighting a duel this morning on
‘Vimhledon Common ; and Count D'Orsay, Charles
Parquin, a foreigner, Colonel Ratcliffe, and a man named
Keon, who appeared to be a servant, were charged with
aiding and abetting in the same.
It appeared from the statement of Inspector Pierce,
that he pursued the parties to Wimbledon Common this
morning at six o'clock, and on arriving on the ground he
found the seconds consulting whether the dispute shoald be
decided by fighting with swords or pistols, and on telling
them under
,what authority he acted, he was suffered
to take charge of the implements of death, and they were
conveyed to the station-house.
The combatants are first cousins, but the cause of the
quarrel did not transpire.
Mr. JARDINE ordered the principals to be bound over in
5001. each, and two sureties in 2501. each, to keep the
peace fur the next twelve months.

• The seconds were ordered to put in bail, themselves in
100/. each, and two sureties in 50/. each, to keep the
peace for the same time ; but the defendant, Keon, was
allowed to enter into his own recognizance?.
The required sureties being in attendance, the parties
went through the usual forms, and left the Court.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Ocr. 16.
IN THE MATTER OF HEALY AND BRADFORD.

Tile bankrupts were stationers in Trinity-place, and
their liabilities were stated at upwards of 20,0001..

while the sun► available to the creditors did not exceed
10/. or 13/.

The bankrupts were examined by Mr. Chambers,
on the part of certain creditors, when it ap-
peared that, in the year 183 S, they purchased the
business in Trinity-place (the receipts of which, at that
time. were 8,0001. annually) for 5001., Healy bringing
in 1501., and Bradford 2501. The latter's mother lent
him 3,0001. to commence business with. The bank-
, rupts had passed accommodation bills to a large
amount with several persons, all of whom were now
insolvent. With one person named Clarke, who was a
paper-manufacturer, they were joined in accommodation
bills to the amount of 6,0001., which Clarke paid, and
there were further bills issued in connection with the
slme individual to the amount of 7,0001., for which
the bankrupts were liable. The fiat of bankruptcy was
issued on the 20th of August, and on the 18th of that
month Bradford handed over to his mother the sum of
2001. in cash, and several bills of exchange, to the
amount of 9001., in part payment of her loan.
After some discussion, the Commissioner adjourned
the case for further investigation.

AT WINDSOR.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—It is the intention
of her Majesty, acting upon the advice of her medical
attendants, to take daily equestrian exercise in the new
Riding School, as soon as that edifice shall have been
completed and made fit for the reception of her Majesty.
The late and continued frost has delayed considerably
the progress of the workmen who were engaged in the
plastering woik of the interior walls. These are the
only portions of this part of the building which are in an
unfinished state ; but a few days genial weather would
enable the school to be perfected for the use of the &in.
reign.
Eighteen of her Majesty's saddle horses arrived at the
Royal Mews, from Buckingham Palace, on the evening
before the arrival of the Court at Windsor.
The bil.iard table in the Castle, which has been but
little used since the time of his late Majesty William
IV. until the ilrrival of Prince Albert in February last,
is now placed in the apartment which was formerly the
Equerries' waiting-room, an apartment close to the
visitors' entrance, leading to the private staircase, having
Ibeen appropriated to the use of that portion of the Royal
Household.

the Royal Household to enjoy the game. It was the
Albert, and by The Co na l 'i: nd at Chamberl.' t the desire of Prince
on the day lit•fore the Court arrived at the Castle the
lilt eornni of her Majesty, ordered
gas to be laid on in the billiard-room, and four elegant
burners to be tuspeiCed from the ceiling over the table,
in order that his Royal highness might retire occasion-.
ally in the evening v;ith his friends and the members of
wish of the Prince that the arrangements should be
perfected before his arrival yesterday ; but in conic-
quence attic shortness of the time allowed, the works
will not be completed till to-morrow morning.

TIIE W EAT II E R.—A more beautiful Christmas..
day we do not desire and have never enjoyed. There is
health in the air this morning, joy and gladness in its
cheery aspect ; Irhiist the sun, which shines with that
spirit-giving brightness peculiar to a fine frosty morning,
is suggestive of genial associations, and productive of the
fulness of pleasure. Troops of people, too, with happy
faces, throng the streets, and hundreds are scan wending
their way, some to the parks, others to the social hearth.

Ladies Percy have left town on a visit to the Earl and

rumour.

His Excellency Earl Granville bad an audience on
Tuesday, of their Majesties, to deliver a note from his
Sovereign announcing the birth of ►the Princess Royal
of England.
The France states that, according to revelations
made by Darrnes, he was one of a Society of 0 persons
bound to attempt the life of the King, and that he did
not know he was the:man fixed on to make his late at-
tempt till the morning of the day. Two of the confede-
rates named by him, adds this journal, have been ar-

rested.
The National publishes a letter addressed to the
Abbe de Lamennais, by the Italian workmen of London,
forming an association under the title of " La Giovine
Italia," with a President named Mezzini, in which
they express their condolence with the Abbe for the
trouble occasioned him by his political prosecution.
The same journal publishes the Abbe's reply in which
he shows that he participates in the views of the men'-
hers of La Giovine Italia, with regard to the affairs of
the Italian peninsula.
The Courrier Francais says :—" The Minister .of
War yesterday assembled the engineers of the Pont4
et Chaussees, who were charged under the Ministry d
M. Jaubert with the direction of a part of the further,- •
tions of Paris, and proposed to them to continue these
works under the control of military authority, bill they
all refused."
The Constitutionnel is quite delighted at the cer-
tainty that Paris will be fortified, comparing this wosk
to the Great Wall of China.
The Gazette de France, quoting the article of the
Constitutionnel says :
" The fortialeations of Paris is the end of the reign
of Paris over France ; and perhaps the end of P'asris.
" Paris fortifi d (embastille), loses its rank as a free
city ; it will be only a city subject, and in case of need
sacrificed, to the tyranny of a dispute as to revolutionory

RECOGNITION OF TEXAS.

-------
The Committee of the— Anti-slavery Society baying
transmitted to Lord Palmerston their resolutions on the
re•
subject of the recognition of Texas, his Lordship has
turned the following answer :
1
Foreign Office, Dec. 14, 840.
" Sir,-1 am directed by Viscount Palmerston to
se
.
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the ithresoibna
l ut
dressed to his Lordship, transmitting a copy of
which the Committee of the British and Foreign Ant
ir
i.
slavery Society passed on the Id inst., expressing the
concern that her Majesty's Government should have en-
tered into a commercial treaty wish Texas, and protesting
against the recognition of the independence of that 10-
public by Great Britain.
am, in reply, directed to state to you, that Lora
Palmerston very much regrets that the Committee sboulti
take this view of the measure which has been adopted by
her Nlajesty's Government in regard to Texas ; but that it
does not appear to Lord Palmerston, on the one hang, that he
refusal of Great Britain to conclude a commercial treaty wit
Texas would have had any effect in inducing the Texanr
to abolish slavery within their territory ; nor, on the othe
hand, that the conclusion of such Treaty can have th.
effect of affording the Texans any encouragement W Con-
tinue the condition of slavery as part of their law.
" It may indeed be hoped that the greater intercouree
between Great Britain and Texas, which will probably re-
sult from the Treaty, may have the effect a suitigatinto
rather than of aggravating, the evils arising (Mot the legal
existence of slavery in that republic.
" Lord Palmerston desires me to mention, that you ap-
pear to be under a misapprehension as to the state of the
relations between Great Britain and Hayti ; inasmuch se
Great Britain has actually concluded a treaty with filaytie
odsee.niat,
,
as an independent State ; and I hare the satisfactioa

..,,ffre-house, &rend, in conn.r,ction with the Chartist
trials. At their ia;:etinz yesterday (Wednesday) after-
noon. the, Milowing resolut was unanimously adopted :
" SeeierK that the exertions of the working classes to
form Ganerd Convention, representing- the whole
...ountry, are for the present marred by the contrivances
of the open persecutors of our cause, arid their allies
the false friends of the people, together with the apathy
of some prtion of the people themselves, we feel it our
duty to dissolve ; and, returning to our respective con-
stituencies, exert ourselves to the utmost of our power
in counteracting the above mischievous influences."
Previous to the adoption of the foregoing, a Memo-
rial to the Queen was read and passed, setting Lrth the
distresses of the labouring population, and praying her
Majesty to recommend remedial measures to Parlia-
ment immediately on its meeting, which being signed
by the Chairman and Secretary on behalf of the Meet-
ing, was ordered to be presented at the Home Office
forthwith.

We borrow from the Anti-Corn-Law Circular
an article entitled " Traps for Anti-Corn-Law
Repealers," which is worthy of being studied by
those who are desirous to change one fluctuating
duty for another, or a fluctuating duty for a fixed
one. We rejoice to see that the Circular, speaking
the language of the Anti-Corn-Law League,
stands up for justice, strict justice, and will be con-
tented with nothing less than justice. So we be-
lieve will the League, ultimately, if not immediately,
be eminently successful ; and its success on this
point will work a greater moral reformation, first
in the Legislature, and afterwards in the commu-
nity, than the Church has effected during the whole
period of its existence. When once public opinion
has compelled the Legislature to do justice on this I

mon Councilmen for the above district. The rneetin!:
was numerously attended, and this being what was termed
his Lordship's " own ward," from his having represented
it in the Court of Aldermen, his reception was of a hi Tilly
flattering nature. Up to the moment of hominivion it
ass a matter of uncertainty whether there would be any
contest; and when those present were called upon to
1,,,,p1 :e candidates, no less than eight were nuaicii,
namely :

Oat of the above only the first three served the t iii ,
last year, and upon the show of hands Mr. Abraham Saul,
Aho formerly represented the ward, was chosen, but hr
declined to serve, and thereby' prevented the necessity of
a contested election, a poll having been demanded by Mr.
