ADELPHI THEATRE.
A new melo-dramatic romance, entitled The Devil of Mar-
seilles, or The Spirit of Avarice, from the practised pen of Mr.
Peake, was produced here last evening. It would appear,
from the legend on which the drama is founded, that the
Spirit of Avarice has taken up his abode in Marseilles, and
that once in a century be appears as the Devil of Marseilles,
and of course plays the devil with every one with whom he
comes in contact. The concluding year of the century has
expired at the time at which the drama com-
mences, and the Spirit of Avarice is by a cer-
tain. M. Brissac (Mr. Cullenford) unconsciously set
loose. Brissac is the guardian of Clementine (Madame
Celeste) a rich Brazilian heiress, with whom he is about to
take his departure for Rio Janeiro. She is in love with De
Launay, the surgeon to the Bagne, at Marseilles, whose suit
Barejected by
because he is poor. There is in the
ghe a forcat, Pierre Cranon (Mr. O'Smith), who has sixty
times endeavoured to make his escape. He pretends to be
dead, but De Launay finds out the imposition; how-
ever, he tries to bribe De Launay to connive at
his escape, and tells him where an immense
treasure is hidden. Overcome by the Spirit of Avarice (most
grotesquely represented by Mr. Mitchinson), De Launay,
haying acquired a knowledge of his secre', calls the guard to
arrest Pierre, who escapes by the window, and then pro-
ceeds to the spot pointed out by the fon-at, disinters the trea-
sure, and becomes rich. Cranon, who has escaped, arrives
just after, and finds the treasure gone. The Spirit of
Avarice, however, supplies him with a disguise, and he
works his passage out to Brazil on board the same
ship with Clementine, Brissac, and Jean de l'Oye and his
wife, the two comic characters of the piece, whose sayings
and doings, although they defy description, may be imagined
when we say, thatNright was the husband, and MissWoolgar
the wife. Arrived in Brazil, the Spirit of Avarice soon
*works upon all of them. Brissac endeavours to cheat Clemen-
tine out of her property. Cranon induces certain slaves
to decamp with him into the woods, and to
rob the house of Brissac, while the comic
part of the plot is strengthened by the advent of Paul Bed-
ford, who, as Captain Beausobre, the harbour-master,
desperately in love with Madame de l'Oye, and roars out
serenades in a tone that would drown a speaking trumpet.r
In the third act two arrivals take place. De Launay (M. .
C. Boyce), the heretofore poor surgeon, as a rich Signpr,
demands the hand of the now poor Clementine; and Aveira,
(Mr. C. Perkins), her father, who has for years been supposed
to be dead, also arrives, having been released from a long im-
pisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition at Lisbon.
Ile recognises a bracelet on the arm of his daughter as a
jewel of which he had been robbed many years before. That
bracelet was a present from De Launay, who is immediately
suspected as the robber. It is a bracelet which he had found
in the casket. He returns the whole of the stolen property
to Aveira, who thus recovers his fortune. In the meantime
Cranon and his associates, Scipio, a negro (Mr. Munyard), and
Maquas, an Indian (Mr. C. J. Smith), have broken into
the Quinta of Brissac. and carried off a casket of jewels.
As they are escaping they meet Clementine, bedecked with
jewels. Cranon recognises the bracelet., and, to avoid dis-
covery, they take Clementine, who has fainted, to their re-
treat, sending Maquas on before with the casket. Maquas,
to secure the whole of the plunder, poisons the wine which
he knows his companions will drink, and they, to cheat him
of his share of the plunder, assassinate
the meantime Brissac and De Launa
him. In
3', who have
blood-hounds on the trail, arrive as Cranon is breathing his
last. The Spirit of Avarice sets fire to the forest, and
the innocent escape, and De Latina), and Clementine are
united. The piece is full of incident and startling effects.

RUBTOUR
S OF THE DAY,
(Prom the Tines.)
The rumours of the day are quite in consonance with te
reconstructive and inoffensive course which has been sketched
by friendly hands for the Minister. It is said that Lord John
Russeil is the willing bearer of her Majesty's earnest wishes
that the Duke will continue in command of the army. His
Grace has long since put on record his sentiments on this
subject. In August and September, 1827, he gave his rea-
sons, in letters to Lords Goderich and Eldon, for continuing
in that office under a Ministry to which he could not give all
his-confidence and support. He had never thought, he said,
that political differences of opinion ought to prevent him from
commanding his Majesty's armyat the Horse Guards. equally.
as an army in the field. He was ready, he said, to do what-
ever the public interests required ; and, with that single ob-
ject in view, did not object to take a position the difficulties
of which might possibly at last prove too much for his
powers. It is added, that the Duke will be the medium
communication with Lord Dalhousie, whom he introducedo
into office, and to whose deference he has a just and honour-
able claim. Certainly there are peculiar reasons, particularly
in the present state of railway legislation, why the Board of
Trade should not pass into new hands, and lose the benefit of
that extensive information and experience of which Lord
Dalhousie has given such abundant proofs.
To the cautious abstinence from action which has been
recommended to the new Ministry, there is one early and
unavoidable exception. In one short month the question of
the sugar duties will be forced upon them. It may almost
be said that the whole country is agreed as to what must
be done. It is only a question of time. The distinc-
tion of free and slave-grown sugar cannot be main-
tained. The experiment might be praiseworthy, but it has
not answered. That accordingly will be given up, and after
what has transpired as to the real causes of the recent resig-
nation, Lord John Russell is justified in counting upon the
support of Sir Robert Peel and the majority of the Right
Hon Baronet's colleagues to a final measure. The above dis-
tinction, we believe, will be at once abolished. As the
equalization of slave and free will seriously affect our plant-
ers, their present protection against foreign free labour will
for the present remain untouched. It will be provided,
howeVer, that in three or four years this protection, which
now is 93. Bd., will be gradually reduced, and after another
three or four years finally expire. Such is the outline of
the contemplited measure, which the state of the revenue,
as well as the wants of the British consumer, has rendered
absolutely inevitable ; nor do we think that any section of
the Legislature will venture to try its strength against so
moderate a way of meeting the. necessity.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JUNE 30.—Although there was
no marked increase in the amount of business transacted
to-day,—which, indeed, was scarcely to be expected at this
particular period of the year,—the general impression amongst
all parties seemed to be, that prices had reached their lowest
point, tr.nd that an improvement in the demand might be
expected. The downward tendency which manifested itself
last week was consequently arrested., and prices were gene-
rally firm., but no improvement could be noted.
ROCHD ALE, MONDAY, JUNE 29.—Owing to the hay
harvest, t here was a very thin attendance of buyers in the
market to-day, and fewer pieces were offered for sale. In
wool little business has been done, and prices have under-
gone no cb .ange.
RUDDER SFIELD, TUESDAY, JUNE 30.—There is no im-
provement to-dayin the market. We have several foreigners;
but their object is only to obtain patterns. It is hoped, how-
ever, that In a few weeks we may have to report more favour-
abl3, of the state of our fancy manufactures.

THAMES GRAND REGATTA.
THIRD DAY.

This great aquatic meeting was brought to a close yester-
day. The sport which had been selected for the finishing
day consisted of the great four-oared races, with a " scratch"
eight for a finale. Although the weather was far from pro-
pitious, it being exceeding dull and cold, and threatening
rain, the attendance was very numerous, although not so
much so as on the previous day. The rowing was very fine,
and afforded much gratification,
The sport commenced at half-past four o'clock with

They both got away well together, and then purple began
to draw their head slightly in advance of the others. They
had not proceeded far when green broke one of their out-
riggers, but, notwithstanding this drawback. they gradually
went by their adversaries oft the Vice• Chancellor's, and main-

The winners were backed at even against the field, but
there was much diversity of opinion as regarded the other
two crack crews.

A capital start was succeeded by a desperate struggle for
the first place, and after a few pulls red began to show in
advance, yellow having their stern for a few seconds just
before blue's. Off the committee-boat red had drawn three
lengths clear of the other pair, who were abreast of each
other. Light blue, who had by making a half or false stroke
at starting gone off but indifferently, now gradually went
into the second place, in which order, although pressed pretty
sharply, they came in the winners, retaining their position

It was a very good race between the first and second boats,
Oxford having the slight lead of half a boat for some dis-
tance, and both crews at very dashing work. The Ariel put
on a splendid spirit at the Crab-tree, but although they al-
most came oar and oar with the 16ading boat, they could
not overhaul. The race was continued with much spirit,
and won by a length only. Yellow made a very excellent

which the First Trinity began to show in advance, followed
by the Thetis, the Civil Engineers, who had been hampered
in getting away, being last. Opposite Craven. cottage the
First Trinity cleared the Thetis, who in their turn conferred
a similar favour upon the Cygnet. The Thetis, by dint of
very hard rowing, drew up to the stern of the Trinity, but

THE SUN, LONDO

A DOUBLE STJTCTDE AND SUS-
PECTED MURDER.

NorrlNGriAsr, WEDNESDAY.—A shocking affair has been
discovered here this morning—the suicide of two brothers;
and it is feared that to the heavy crime of self-murder the
yet deeper offence of parricide must be added.
The two brothers alluded to were William and Samuel
Collyer, both joiners, residing in Coal-court, Parliament-
street, of the respective • ages of 36 and 32. Their father
(also named Samuel) was 73 years old, and possessed 14
houses in the court, but the property is so heavily mortgaged
as to be really of little value. The family also included a
young woman named Elizabeth, aged 37, of whom more
anon. The father and his sons lived together, and were of
most singular habits; latterly they employed no female ser-
vant, but washed, cooked, &c., themselves.
On the 6th of August, 1842, a discovery was made which
brought the;family under the public notice. A man named
Charles Pearce, in passing the house, heard a cry of murder,
and on looking through the cellar grating, perceived the young
woman, and one of her brothers beating her. He immedi-
ately informed the police, and the matter was investigated.
The young woman was found in the cellar, miserably clad,
having on only an old coat, a ragged flannel petticoat, and
a nightcap. She was also in a most wretched state of filthi-
ness; her hair was dishevelled, and her finger nails were de-
scribed in the local press at the time as being like a bird's
claws. The brothers denied the ill- treatment, and alleged
that their sister being insane could not be kept in a more
decent state. The poor woman was eventually removed to
the Asylum, where she has been ever since.

The•neighbours, however, were far from satisfied, and
have uniformly treated the family with great shyness.
The father and the eldest son have also seemed to grow
very dejected; but the youngest went about as usual, col-
lected the rents, and behaved, in short, as if• nothing had
happened.

About five o'clock this morning, Charles Sewell, a rope-
maker, employed by Mr. Baker, went to work in a field near
Shaw's-lane, and on going into the shed, to his great alarm
found the two men suspended within two feet of each other,
from the roof, one by a pair of braces, and the other by a
cord. Sewell ran for assistance, and the bodies were cut
down ; but, though they were warm, life was quite extinct.
Information was of course given to the police, who im-
mediately proceeded to their house, but the old man
was missing. It appears that at two o'clock on Sunday
morning, the driver of the London train passed him on
the Midland Railway, near Beeston, and having taken in
the train returned with the engine to see who he was. Col-
lyer told him that he had missed the road, and had therefore
come on the lice, hoping, thereby, to find .his way to Not-
tingham.
He was taken to the station, but soon afterwards he was
allowed to go away; and he has not been heard of since.
What has become of him is, therefore, a matter of mere con-
jecture, but the circumstances of both sons choosing the same
time and place to commit self-destruction has given rise to
very grave suspicions.
A rumour is afloat that the old man has been found
drowned in the canal at Lenten, about two miles from the
town.

In the house of the deceased, which was miserably fur-
nished, and appeared to have been ransacked, two shillings
and threepence, several ancient coins, and four or five pawn
tickets, were the only articles found that require particular
mention.

THE LATE MURDER and SUICIDE

AT BRIGHTON WORKHOUSE.

BRIGHTON, WERNESSAY.—An inquest on the bodies of
the woman Norman and her infant child was held this morn-
ing, before F. H. Gell, Esq., coroner. The jury having been
sworn proceeded to view the bodies, which were lying on a
bed in the upper part of tho house. On their return the evi-
dence was gone into.
Mr. Samuel Thorncroft, the assistant overseer of Brighton,
deposed—Early in November last the woman Norman ap-
plied to me for relief, and a few days after to be admitted
into the workhouse. She was admitted with her three
children, of the ages of nine, seven, and the deceased
infant. Another child is living in London. Her parish
was St. Mary's, Islington. I did not notice that her mind
seemed affected, but she talked about her station in life and
the manner in which she was brought up. She seemed to
want to get back to her parish. She said she could not
bring up her children without a servant, which would cost
her 2/. a week, and she wished to remain in the house till her
husband was discharged from prison, for housebreaking.
The deceased woman was 36 years old. She was of good
education, and told me she had been brought up in a board-
ing-school, at her uncle's expense. The coroner added that
her father's name was Parker.

Mr. Rugg, a parish surgeon, deposed to having attended
deceased regularly for the last ten days. She complained of
nervousness and lowness of spirits, and speaking of her child's
weaning said she had but little milk, and that the suckling
hurt her and the child too. Her illness was more mental
than bodily, and she seemed a woman of strong feeling. Saw
her on Monday, at noon, when she appeared more rational,
and spoke with gratitude of the kindness received from the
matron. Saw her again the following morning quite dead,
with her throat cut. The child's throat was also cut, and
the windpipe cut through, but the child lived a few hours.
The knife with which the murder was committed is a
blunt one, and escaped the jugular vein in the child's throat
in a singular manner. Witness thought a temporary flow of
blood had produced insanity.
The governor of the workhouse, Mr. John Bartlett, deposed
that the deceased woman always had every indulgence. She
appeared a kind mother, and sometimes, witness thought, too
indulgent. She avoided speaking of her husband. She lived
twenty minutes after she cut her throat.

Deborah Jenkins, an inmate of the workhouse, deposed to
sleeping in the same room as the deceased woman. She
complained on Monday of a pain at the top of her head.
She asked a number of questions, and looked very wild, and
her eyes seemed much larger. She asked if witness would
be kind to her children. Witness replied she would be
kind to the baby. She then asked witness how her mother
died, and witness said she was burnt to death. She cried
about her boys, and said they would be left fatherless and.
motherless. She said, "Oh dear, Deborah," and shook wit-
ness's hands. She said she must die, and before that day
week. She had a Bible in her hand. Deceased had the baby
with her up to half-past nine on Tuesday morning. She said
to the baby in the morning, "Bless your little lips," and told
witness that she had prayed all night that it might die.
Witness gave Mrs. Tomkins the baby at half-past six.
Susan French, another inmate, deposed she was with de-
ceased till half-past nine in the morning, when deceased and
child were in bed together. She left the room for about' two
minutes, and when she returned deceased was standing
bleeding from a gash in her throat. Deceased did not speak.
A thought struck witness of the child, and upon running
into the room she found the child lying in a pool of blood
with its throat cut. Deceased, before the act, expressed her-
self very anxious to see her two other children, which the
matron would net allow.

The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased destroyed
herself and child in a fit of insanity."
