ADELPHI THEATRE.

Mrs. Gamp gave a tea and turn-out here last even-
ing in honour of the wedding of the-daughter of her old
friend, Mrs. Betsy Prig. In the opening scene we
are introduced to Mrs. Gamp, (Mr. Wright), who,
with her basket and umbrella, is returned to her
lodgings at Sweedlepipe's, from a nursing expedi-
tion. Mrs. Gamp is knocking at her door when she
meets with Charley Muff, (Mr. Worrell), who has
been making love to her niece, Miss Selina Gamp,
(Miss Ellen Chaplin), a figurante at Drury-lane.
She invites him to tea and turn-out, and scarcely
has he left her, when she meets his father,
an opulent tallow-chandler, Mr. Magnus Muff,
(Mr. Cullenford), who in other days, before
she knew the late Mr. Gamp, had been
a suitor for her favours. He is on the look-out for
his truant son, but it is unbeknown to Sairey that the
suitor of her niece is the son of the friend of her
youth, and she asks old Muff to the tea arid turn-
outalso. We are then introduced to Betsy Prig (Mr.
Munyard), and her daughter (Miss M. Taylor), and
her daughter's husband, an Irish tailor (Mr Red-
mond Ryan), who waxes jealous in consequence
of the intrusion of a certain Mr. Alfred,
a quondam lover of his wife, who is no other
than the Don Giovanni of humble life, Mr.
Muff, junior. To appease him, Betsy Prig declaret,
that all Mr. Muff's attentions are devoted to his old
Betsy; and the Tailor, wondering at young Muff's
taste, is appeased. The scene then changes to Sairey
Gamp's. First of all we have the two young ladies,
who, having discovered the falseness of Mr. Muff
junior, attack him and faint in his arms. He leaves
them and takes refuge under the bed. Then the old
woman brews a bowl of punch from a receipt
book, given by Mrs. Harris to Mrs. Gamp, and makes
divers odd mistakes by reading across from a receipt
for punch to a receipt for a salad, so that the rum
and sugar and hot-water get strangely mixed with
mustard, vinegar, and oil. Then the party assemlele,
and this punch is served out to the great horror of the
drinkers, and a grand quarrel scene between Sairey
Gamp and Betsy Prig ensues. The young Muff
emerges from his hiding-place, and with the consent
of his father marries Selina Gamp, and then comes a
dance in which old Sairy in white kid sandals arid black
silk stockings, and a white muslin gown with a black
sash, dances a jig in the most outr6 fashion imaginable.
Mrs. Gamp, moreover, favours the company with a
moral song, which is, of course, encored, and, thanks
to the admirable fooling of Wright, the piece goes off
amidst such shouts of laughter as we never heard ex-
cept within the walls of the Adelphi. The house was
crowded, the laughter was uproarious, and Mrs.
Gamp will, no doubt, be at home every night for
many weeks to come.

" REPORT OF OCTOBER 23, 1846.

" Gentlemen,—lt is exactly a year to-day since we
had the honour of calling you together for the first time
to a general meeting. On that occasion we submitted
to your inspection the measures which we had adopted
to establish, by the formalities required by the Govern-
ment authorities, the existence of the company which
we had formed, and at the same time to insure the ex-
execution of the enterprise to which they related. In
fact, as soon as we were authorised by the ordonnance
of October 24, 1844, confirming the concession, we
set to work, without waiting for the approbation of Sur
statutes, which did not take place until seven months
afterwards, and appointed the persons required for the
execution of the line ; we appointed our head engineer
and the other engineers acting under him ; ordered our
stock for construction and working ; had surveys made
of the ground, and decided what line of direction should
be taken, and, finally, submitted the plans of the whole
railway to the examination and approbation of Govern-
ment authorities. These plans,* though sent in to the
department of Public Works in Jufy and August, 1845,
did ma obtain the Ministerial approbation for nearly a
year after, that is to say, in June and August, 1846.
It results trom this fact, and from the bricf explanation
that we have given above, that if we had waited for the
approval of our statutes in order to eommence our pre-
paratory measures, and for the approval of our plans in
order to commence and proceed with our works, we should
be still at the very first steps of our eeterpri-e, in place

* With the exciition of our plans in the arrondisse
ment of Amiens, which were approved of in llteena
her, 1845.

MSIIO3IET'S BIRTHDAY.

" The fourth of May is the birth-day festival of the
prophet Mahomet or Mohammed ; the evening before,
the festivity began, and tha commencement is undeni-
ably the finest part of it. That it was moonlight, and
that the Osman police laws, even under these circum-
stances, commands every one that goes cut after sunset
to carry a candle in a lantern if he would not be arrested,
1 du nut regard as the most pleasant regulation ; but I
was obliged to put up with it, for neither the moonlight

_, -

nor the police laws could be changed. A young Rus-
sian, named Aderhas, and I went together, and wiEhout

any guide, but, furnished with lights in large paper
lanterns, we hastened away to see the illumination in
honour of the prophet. We went through one of the
narrow side streeWof Pera, and a sight lay before us, so
magnificent, so beautiful, so fantastic, that the like of it
can hardly be expected to be seen in the north in an
oriental dream. ,Froni the row of houses where we
stood, and deep doim,towards the bay, there lay an ex-
tensive cemetery,' that is to say, a wood of cypresses,
with large closely planted trees—pitchy night rested
there.
" The path, which the foot of man and hor..es' hoofs
have formed, winds over rugged hills, then downward
under the high trees. Sometimes it is narrow between
the sepulchral monuments, and sometimes it goes over
the ruined gravestones. Here and there moved a red
or blue lantern, which, ever and anon, disappeared and
returned to sight again in the dark ground ; there are a
few solitary houses in the cemetery; the light shone
from the topmost window, or was borne along the open
balcony.
" The bay, filled with vessels, shone over the tops of
the cypresses as blue as a Damascus blade ; two of the
largest ships were ornamented in the richest manner
with burning lamps ; they beamed around the port-
holes, about the gunwale, and the masts ; they hung in
the shrouds, and transformed them into a radiant net.
Opposite us lay the city itself, that great, extended Con-
stantinople, with its innumerable minarets, all entwined
with wreaths of lamps; the air was still red from the
setting sun, but so clear and transparent, that the moun-
tains of Asia arid the eternal snow-covered Olympus
were plainly visible, the east with all its broken lines
like a silvery cloud behind the magnificent city. The
moonlight did not diminish the lustre of the lamps, but
only brought out the minarets, which seemed white
stalks with colossal fire-flowers; the lesser ones bore one
wreath of lights, the larger two, and the largest three,
one above the other."

THE LATE MYSTERIOU =
MURDER IN FRANCE.
We mentioned a few days back the murderWWo
young girls at Albi, under very mysterious eirpttgiite':::::";./.;.-!-:.,.

discovered by a curious chain of circumstantial
It appears that in the chamber of one of the
found a shirt stained with blood. It was by znea
this slight indication that the law-officers of the Crovi'zif---
have succeeded incoming toaknowledge of the murderer.
The Proeureur du Roi and the Juge d'lnstruction, ou
seeing this article, conceived it very likely that the mur-
derer had slept with one of the girls, and getting up in
the night had cut her throat whilst asleep. The depth
of the wound in the neck of one of them seemed to war-
rant this supposition. He then, they supposed, entered
the room of the sister, and, after a struggle, succeeded
in cutting her throat also. The murderer then, finding
his shirt stained with blood, came to the determination
to take it off, and in his agitation probably left it behind
him. The shirt, the Proeureur do Roi remarked, was new,
never having been washed. It was not, therefore. unlikely
that it had been lately purchase'., cnl in all pi-obihility in

WOOL.

The public sales of Wool having been concluded, we may
state that their result has come up to the expectations of the
broker and others—a full average quantity having found
buyers, at full prices. The imports since our last, have been
very trifling. Privately, there is very little business doing
in any description, at late rates.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Full average supplies of all descriptions of Hops are on
sale in this market. Generally speaking, the demand is in
a very inactive state, yet we can notice no alteration in the
quotations. _ _ _

TALLOW.
The large delivery has given an increased firmness to the
marktt. Several holders now refuse to sell, except at higher
rates. Town Tallow is 6d lower, but Inciters refuse to sell
at the quotation. The St. Petersburgh Tallow is now all
arrived, but about 1,200 casks are not included in to-days's
stock.

MADAME VESTRIS.—It is stated that the highly-
talented and popular actress and vocalist, Madame Ves-
trig, is about to bid farewell to the stage, in consequence
of declining health. She Intends closing her the itrical
career next brason. She makes a parting tour in th,
provinces, and returns to London to appear for the last

FROM HYDROPHOBIA.

The Limerick Chronicle says—" Sad gloom prevails

COMPANY.

This was an action brought by Messrs. Leman, Bro-
thers, carrying on the business of grocers, in Clerken-
well-close, against the Great Western Railway Com-
pany, to recover damages for the non-delivery of a chest
of tea, valued at Si.
Mr. Hayes and another Learned Gentleman, appeared
for the plaintiffs ; the Attorney-General and Mr. Haw-
kins for the Great Western Railway Company.
It appeared that Mr. Wm. Leman, one of the plain-
tiffs, purchased a grocery business from a person of the
name of Colson, at Bridgewater. After the purchase he
requested his brother in London to transmit him a chest
of tea by the railway, but, as he was unknown
at Bridgewater, it was to be directed to Mr. Colson.
The chest was booked at the George and Blue Boar, and
arrived at Bridgewater. The company, however, re-
fused to give it up, alleging as a reason that it was di-
rected to Colson, who had bolted from his creditors and
become a bankrupt, and that they would detain it for
the benefit of the assignees. _ _ _

--
Several witnesses were called on the part of the plain.
tiffs.

The defence set up was, that the tea had been
fraudulently transferred to the plaintiffs by Colson, and
that they had detained it and delivered it up to his
creditors, believing that it truly belonged to them—in
which they were perfectly justified. They believed they
had performed a great public duty.
The jury found for the defendants.

LIMERICK, DEC. 12.—Three vessels arrived in our

port from Odessa, Vigo, and New York, with cargoes 01
Indian corn, since Wednesday, besides four vessels from
London, Glasgow, and Waterford, with flour an 3 grain.
We are shipping corn and provisions every day for Lon-
don and Glasgow! The Isabella, from New York, with
Indian corn, arrived here yesterday, and was purchased
at 151. per ton. J. N. Russell and Sons, of this city,
have entered notice of application to the grand jury for
2,3001., amount of loss sustained by them in consequence
of the plunder of their ship, the Sea Lark, and her cargo,
at Ballybunnion, last month.
DARING OUTRAGE.—Thomas Gabbett, Esq., of Cor-
belly House, and his friend, Mr. Bindon, returning from
a shooting excursion near Castle Lake, on Monday last,
were intercepted at Truogh by three men, one of whom
ordered Mr. Gabbett to deliver his gun, while the other
two rushed upon Mr. Bindon and struggled to disarm
him. Mr. Gabbett, who had a valuable double-barrelled
piece, kept his adversary at a few paces' distance by an
earnest expression of his resolve to shoot the man if he
dare approach him nearer. This fellow immediately
gave a loud whistle, and in less than five minutes fifty
country fellows ran across the fields to the spot with
spades and shovels, the above fellow calling out, " Take
the gun from the ruffian." Mr. Gabbett then repeated
his former determination not to surrender, warning them
of the consequence, and telling them who he was. Two
of the crowd who knew Mr. Gabbett then interfered,
and prevailed upon the leader and his gang to let Mr.
Gabbett and his friend pass on, which they did, and both
gentlemen brought home their arms safe, to the evident
discomfiture of the principals in this daring attack.

THE " FAIRY WOMAN. "—OR the Bth instant the
county coroner held an inquest on the body of a man
named Denis Roche, of Knockrow, barony of St. Mul-
lins, under the following circumstances :—" It appeared
that the deceased, who was employed on the public
works, had suddenly disappeared, and was not heard of
by his family during the last fortnight. After being
paid his wages on the day he was last seen, he went into
a public-house at Bahana, to drink with some of the
workmen, and as his body was found last week in a turf
bog at Cranagh, it is supposed he lost his way, had
fallen into a turf bog, and was drowned. His family
having searched the district in vain for the body, pro-

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1846,

A mutiny when the ship is sinking is not a more
pitiable spectacle than the recent secession of the
Young Ireland party from the ranks of the
Patriot
,and Liberator of Ireland. However
much we may be opposed to Mr O'CONNELL in his
agitation for the repeal of the legislative union, we
cannot but recognise in that Honourable Gentleman
the truest friend of Ireland ; we cannot but recognise
in his long and earnest career the toil of one anxious
to benefit his fatherland; we cannot but recognise
throughout his professional and Parliamentary life
the solicitude of a man, devoted heart and soul, body
and mind, to the moral, physical, and political re-
demption of his afflicted country. Whatever may be
our difference of opinion as to the mode best calcu-
lated to effect the advancement of the Irish popula-
lation, we are satisfied that the Honourable
Member for Cork exhibits this pertinacity
in his favourite project solely from his convic-
tion that the attainment of his object would
ensure the regeneration of the community. He is
struggling for the possession of a phantom, but in
those struggles he is riving the chains of Ireland
asunder. He has already emancipated his fellow-
countrymen from many grievous disabilities ; he has
dissipated many of their sorrows ; he has avenged
many of those wrongs which they had suffered during
successive generations. Through the instrumentality
of O'CONNELL the character of Ireland has already, to
a considerable extent, been vindicated. By his assi-
duous exertions she has emerged from a misgovern-
mentinfinitely more onerous and repressive than the
misgovernment of the Muscovite or the Lithuanian—a
misgovernment not so much of a corporeal character
as of a spiritual, not so much of body as of soul, not
so much of municipalities as of religion. Much, of
course, has remained unreformed, which, with
due attention, might have been effected.
These oversights, however, are more attributable to
the unpropitious nature of circumstances than; to
the lack of any individual sagacity. The power
exercised by Mr. O'CONNELL in the advocacy of his
native land has been erected upon—what ?—upon the
enthusiasm of his countrymen. But how was that
enthusiasm gained ? Was it gained by the tactics
of a Mohawk ? Was it gained as DANTON gained
his victories, by exciting the passions of the mob, by
goading the people to acts of insubordination, by a
plentiful distribution of pikes and bludgeons ? Was
Catholic Emancipation wrung from the Legislature
by intimidation, or by the dispassionate weapons of
logic ? Was it wrung from Parliament as the fana-
tical followers of Lord GEORGE GORDON endeavoured
to:elicit a " No-Popery" enactment from those august
Chambers ? Has not O'CoNNELL's influence been based
upon the solid granite of peace, instead of upon the
capricious quicksands of insurrection? Has he not
throughout his agitation sheltered himself behind the
adamant of the law, and has not that course already
obtained for Ireland an inestimable boon ?

Valuing the timber vessels at 20L per ton, the iron steamers

" Sta,--I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most
safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the first hex herself, they have proved or
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHELTENILV:.I COMI'ETING LINES.
CHELTENHAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—An important
meeting was held here to-day to receive the resignation
of the town committee appointed for the purpose of re-
porting on the various projects now in agitation in Chel-
tenham. Previous to the commencement of the proceed-
ings the Hon. Craven Berkeley, M.P., apologised for
some animadversions made on a previous day as to the
conduct of the Rev. T. Close in connexion with railway
matters. The lion. Gentleman's observations appeared
to give satisfaction in the weting and his comtituents.
Mr. Gwpwriry proposed a resolution to the effect
that the original committee should be re-appointed with
soma little alteration.

The resolution was seconded by Mr, ItoWii!.
Mr. LlNGwoop supported the Cheltenham and Oxford

Mr. HARM proposed an amendment to the effect
that the original members of the committee should be re-
appointed with several other additional names, with
power to oppose any railway passing through or crossing
the approaches of the town.
'he proposition was seconded by Mr. HEANE.
Several members addressed the meeting, either dis-
senting to or opposing the re,soltrtion-
When the CHAIRMAN desired the meeting to express
their feelings as to the first resolution and amendment, a
soppp of indescribable confusion ensued.
In the first instance Mr. those decided that Mr. Har-
per's resolution had been carried ; feeling, however,
some uncertainty as to the question, he requested the
meeting flgaio to diTide, and them for some time was
Unable to obtain a hearing. Ultimately, however, the
CHAIRMAN decided that Mr. Harper's resolution was
carried,
