LAW AND POLICE.

At Norwich, on the 28th inst:, John Self, aged 20.
was convicted of the murder of Jenaima Stimpson, aged
15, on Saturday, the 17th of this month. The murderer

is the son of a farm-labourer, occupying a cottage on the
road from Wymondham to Norwich ; and, according to
the testimony of several witnesses, up to that time was a
person of most respectable and irreproachable character.
It did not appear that any attempt had been made upon
the virtue of the unfortunate girl, nor can any reason be
assigned for the horrid deed,
In the Sheriffs' Court, Newington, an action was
brought on Thursday. by a gentleman of the name of
Boys, in the house of Baring, Brothers, and Co., against
Mr. Cross, the proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Gar-
dens, to recover compensation for injury done to his pro-
perty by the fire-works, when the Jury found for the
plaintiff—Damages 301.

At Marylebone office on Thursday, a woman of the
name of Maxwell was committed to take her trial for

of the name of Cooper were sitting together in a public-
house, the prisoner came behind him, and in a fit of jea-
lousy stabbed him in the back with a dessert knife.
The conductor of a Paddington omnibus, of the
name of Viron, was fined 20s. at Guildhall on Thursday,
for loitering in the street and insolent behaviour.
Randall, the convict, who knocked down and robbed
the Plymouth gaoler on Sunday and escaped, has been
recaptured at Liskeard.

A gentleman, and, at-one time, man of property,
died last week, after having been in the police force two
months. It appears his health was very delicate, and
the night duty killed him. Blame was •attached to the
police-surgeon for want of.proper attention to the case.

THE LATEST IMPORTED.

A hangman, in Pennsylvania, intending, a short time
ago, to execute a criminal who had been condemned for
murder, put the rope round his own neck, and suffered
the extreme sentence of the law he did not discover
his mistake till the prisoner told him not to be putting
out his tongue to the people. •
" It's getting dark," as the man said when he get a
box on the eye. -
Brother Jonathan relates, that a man in Cincinnati
having fasted for six months, became at last so tarna-
tion hungry that he ate himself, and did'nt discover his
mistake till he saw one of his neighbour's dogs picking
his bones.
" I feel very queer about my stomach," as the man
said when the pike went through him.
" You're shedding innocent blood," as the man said
to the bugs.
There is a man in one of the Southern States, so broad
shouldered, that it requires nine tailors to take his mea-
sure for a coat. . _

" Be content with what you have," as the rat said to
the trap when he left his tail in it.

There is a man, not a hundred miles from New York,
who is so extremely fat, and perspires so excessively,

AN AWKWARD " MESS."—A Maine Congressman, an
arriving at Washington, wrote to his wife that he had
formed a connexion with a very agreeable mess, and
expected to spend the winter very pleasantly." Unfortu-
nately, and greatly to the horror and indignation of his
tool lady, he had inadvertently dotted the e in " mesa."
This circumstance was well-nigh severing two fond hearts.

EASTERN NEWS.

A copy of the Augsburg Gazette, received by extraor-
dinary courier yesterday evening, contains, in a letter
dated Paris, the 23d instant, the text of the protocol
signed by Prince Esterhazy, Baron Neumann, Lord Pal-
merston, Baron Bulow, and Baron Brunow, at a Confer-
ence held in London, on the 10th inst. in the following
terms:—

" In consequence of the difficulties in which his High-
ness the Sultan found himself, he determined to claim the
aid and assistance of the Austrian, British, French,
and Russian Goverments, and the difference which
existed between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan, for the
arrangement of which the treaty of the 15th of
July was concluded, having been settled, the repre-
sentations of the Powers who signed that Convention an-
nounced in a formal manner that the ancient rule of the
Ottoman Empire, which declares that no ships of •war
belonging to Foreign Powers, should be admitted into
the Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles should be
observed, and invited the French Government to join in
such a declaration according to the wish of the Sultan.
The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs there-
fore invited the French Government to join the Plenipo-
tentiaries of the other Four Powers, in declaring thatthe
Sultan should in future close the entrance of the Straits
in conformity with the aforesaid principle ; and the Five
Powers on their part agreed to respect and support such
determination."

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The weather
still continues showery, and colder than is usual at this
season. Yesterday was dry and sunny; but the wind was
keen and chill. The crops, however, present a splendid
appearance, and give every prospect of an abundant har-
vest. Throughout the greater part of East Lothian, in
particular, the greatest benefit has been experienced
from the late rains; many fields of barley, which were
be-2ore all but despaired ot; having since advanced with
extraordinary rapidity, and promise a fully average crop.
In the course of a pretty extensive circuit the other day,
we did not observe a single field where the corn was laid
by the rain; while the yellow hue which a great propor-
tion of the fields have begun to assume, indicates the
near approach of harvest. Appearances are equally pro-
mising with the green crops; potatoes and turnips look
healthy and vigorous; and sanguine expectations are en-
tertained in every quarter of a successful termination to
the labours of the husbandman; all that is wanted being
a continuance of sunshine to ripen the fruits of the field.

GERMANY.

It would appear.that the commercial crisis in Germany
was not yet over. The shares of the National Bank of
Vienna had fallen 20 florins in consequence of the failure
of five more houses at Trieste.

A letter from Bc.rne, in the HeMetie, says that the
failures of the houses of Steiner and Geymuller, at
Vienna, have caused many victims in Berne, Geneva,
and Basle. The shares of the Vienna Bank had fallen
20 florins, owing to the news of five houses having failed
in Trieste.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY, JULY 29.—" A morning journal,"
says the Moniteur, " mentions certain precautions which
the Commandant of the Polytechnic School had judged
expedient to adopt this year, in respect to the granting of
!eaves of absence to the pupils during the Three Days.
This paper has been deceived by false information :.
as in the preceding years, holidays have been granted,
either for the country or Paris, without any other gua-
rantee than the demand of the relations or correspon-
dents, and, as before, the • doors of the school are and
remain open from seven A.K. to midnight for the
pupils who have not asked for leave of absence.
" The funeral service for the victims of July, 1830,
took place yesterday (Wednesday), at Toulouse, and
passed off with order and dignity.
" Several Toulouse papers," concludes the Moniteur,
" have published an Address of the National Guards of
Martres to those of Toulouse. A Royal Ordonnance
of Wednesday disbands the National Guard of Martres."
The Minister of War has appointed a Special Com-
mission to report on the service of lads to the army.
It appears certain (says the Monitcur Parisien) that
the loan is again adjourned.
The vintage and harvest accounts much better, and
the aspect of the corn market changed, no sales being ef-
fected, except at a decline of prices. Paris quiet, and all
the world at the Champs Elysees.
The Toulonnais of the 25th brings news from Algiers
of the 20th. A few days before six soldiers and thirty
mowers and colonists were carried away at Bouffariek
by a troop of one hundred mounted Arabs, disguised
under the uniform of native gendarmes. The Arabs
continued masters of the place, which they traversed
in every direction, burning crops and haystacks which
were not placed under the protection of the fortified
points.

IciLtairrzoir.

-- A meeting of the repectable inhabitants of Ox
ford-street was held on WidnesditY evening, at, Grave's
Auction Rooms, i'dortimer:itreet, to protest against the
Report of the Oxford-street Committee, condemning the
wooden pavement, and it vas eventually agreed that a
deputation of the householders should attend the Vestry
on Saturday, for the purpose of urging the propriety of
carrying out the wooden pavement along a great portion
of the line.

The unfavourable accounts respecting the health of
Mr. Roebuck are contradicted. The Hon. Member is
sojourning in Hampshire, where he is fast recruiting his
health.

An interesting account of Mesmeric phenomena,
exhibited on Thursday at the Hanover-square Rooms,
appears in another column of The Sun.

Mr. Button, a pastry-cook in Fleet-street, places
daily outside his shop a tub of water, with a notice, " For
dogs only."

A Launceston post-toy died last week, who had
been at one inn 47 years, and had travelled upwards of
200,000 miles in that time. 7001. in guineas and sove-
reigns were discovered in En old pair of his small-clothes.
The Hackney Church-rates called together a meet-
ing on Thursday, which, from its crowded state, adjourned
to the Mermaid Tavern. The resolutions proposed by
the Church party were negatived by a large majority :
a poll was then demanded, which continues open till five
to• day.

A Morning Paper states that in consequence of the
visitors to Brighton having been lately annoyed by per-
sons bathing at all hours of the day, notwithstanding the
notices prohibiting them from doing so, the police have
received orders to capture all offenders in this respect.
Many ludicrous scenes lave, in consequence, taken
place ; and the other day an officer made seizure of ten
suits of clothes, the owners of which, on being detected
bathing, had hastily jumped into a boat, and put out
to sea, in puni# naturalibus I As they have not since
been heard of, it is conjectured that they have reached
Dieppe, whose inhabitants will not be a little astonished
at the sight of such a novel importation. Imagine ten
men without even a fig-lee among them, landing on the
French coast, and being cmveyed through a crowd of
astonished natives to the Custom-douse ; or entering a
tailor's-shop, to purchese an impro4nptu pair of breeches
on credit.

The first year of_iihe present century the marriages
registered were 73,001 In 1750 they were 40,000, being
an increase in the year 1800, of 33,000.

—At Brussels bread has risen very high. Up to this

According tc the last accounts from Jamaica, the
sickness among the troops there had greatly abated. A

those who have fallen victims, landed at Woolwich on

SPAIN.

MADRID, JINX 23.—The Minister of Finance's pro-
ject for raising three millions of dollars, at 6 per cent.
interest per annum, has partly passed through Congress
this day, after a most obstinate opposition, by 63 against
31 yolks ; but various amendments have been submitted
to the remaining clauses, which will only be disposed of
to-morrow, but it is thought that they will pass by an
equally large majority.
Despatches have just been received from Senhor
Aguelar, the Spanish Minister at Lisbon. They
confirm the suspicion that Donna Maria's Govern-
ment was to re-establish the absolute form of go-
vernment, as well as that it is intended to offer
every hostility to the consolidation of Espartero's Re-
gency. The Progressists are agitating to compel Great
Britain to give satisfaction for what they call the re-
peated outrages at Algesiras and the one at Carthegena,
as well as for drawing Mr. Turnbull from the Consulate
at the Hayannah. Senor Arguelles takes the oaths as
Guardian next Monday. On Change, nineteen bargains

RUMOURS OP THE DAY.

The report vhich appeared in the Times last Satur-
day, that Sir Join Milley Doyle's carriage had been
seized for non-payment of his hotel bill at Newry, was
contradicted in tint journal this morning. It appears that
no such occurrence took place, that every item was
duly paid, and that the Gallant General left Newry for
Dublin in the cariage in question. This is of a piece
with the countless Orange lies put forth against the people
of Ireland.

The Orangc papers are preparing the way for
carrying the Repeal question, and if Peel cannot restrain
their atrocious attacks on the Irish Catholics, it will be
repeal and something more. The madmen already
insolently talk of disfranchising Carlow, Tipperary,
Dublin, and many other places where the oppressed
Irish have resisted the threats and intimidation of the
Orange landlords. For the same reason Scotland should
be disfranchised, and Episcopacy established in that
country.

The report that Lord Jeffrey is about to retire from
the bench is contradicted by some of the Scotch papers.

REMAINS Op GEN. HARRISON.—The remains of Gen.
Harrison were honoured by a grand funeral on the
morning of the 7th instant, in the city of Cincinnati,
in which the City Councils took part. The stores were
closed during the morning, and a general feeling of
sorrow prevailed. In the afternoon the procession
moved on the route to North Bend, the final resting-
place of the good man.
MORE WAR STEAMERS.—Preparations are now in
progress for the construction of two steam-vessels ewer
at the Boston Naval Station. One of them is intended
for harbour defence, while the other is to be a regular
steam frigate. We hope there will be no delay in these
works.—New Yorh Herald.
ENCOURAGING.—In France, out of a population of
thirty-two millions, twenty-two millions have but six
six cents a day to defray all expenses—food, lodging,
raiment, and education. England and Ireland are in no
better condition.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—An individual in the county
of Two Mountains, Lower Canada, while in a state of in-
toxication fell into a kettle of boiling potash, and was
completely dissolved. Search was made for his body,
but not the least particle of it could be found. There is
a consolation to Christians, however, that at the Resur-
rection every part of every human being will be collected
and re-united. _ .

•CONVENTION OF DARNIES.—There is to be a great
convention of the negroes of this State, to be held in
Troy, on the 25th August. The 'object of the conven-
tion is to petition the Legislature again on the extension
of the elective franchise. _

FASHIONABLE TAILORING.--IS there a tailor in New
York who can make a good fitting pair of pantaloons ?
e doubt it. And the reason is that they give them
out to girls to sew up, who think more of their beaux than
their pants. In London and Paris, pantaloons are well
made—but in New York, they are all slops—slops--slops.
VERY INDEPENDENT.—MiSS Carlotte Mitchell, of
Georgia, recently appeared, on her wedding day, dressed
entirely in silk of her own manufacture—cap, gloves,
stockings and dress, equal to the best pongee.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS.

OVERLAND INDIA MAIL.

Telegraphic despatches announced that the mail
reached Marseilles on Thursday morning. Dates from
Bombay June 19, Alexandria July 19, and Malta July
24. The Oriental brought the despatches to Malta.
No news from China. Sir G. Bremer had quitted Cal-
cutta for China with reinforcements.
London, England, 1841-07-31

FOREIGN.

The overland mail from India has arrived at Mar-
seilles, but without any important intelligence from
China. The dates are from Bombay to the 20th of June,
Alexandria to the 20th of July, and Malta to the 25th
of July. Sir Gordon Bremer had left Calcutta for the
Canton River with considerable reinforcements. The
Celestials will catch it.

By Cunard's excellent line of Boston, Halifax, and
Liverpool steamers we have New York papers of the 16th
of July. The American Judges have decided that Mr.
M'Leod is to be brought to trial. The impression in the
United States is, that on pleading his irresponsibility
under the law of nations the Jury will at once be ordered
to acquit him.

The late disorders at Toulouse, and the fetes of
July give ample employment to the French journals.
Their opinions upon these matters are rather threadbare.
—M. Duval is acting with great tact at Toulouse. So
far as regards municipal changes he appears in no
hurry to trouble himself about them. He allows the
popular excitement to settle down, under the very conve-
nient pretext that no business should be allowed to inter-
rupt the joyful celebration of the " three glorious days."
But will he be equally careful not to reawaken the popu-
lar storm which he now so prudently seeks to lull ? We
greatly doubt it.

The King of the Belgians has issued a Royal de-
cree, dated the 2Gth July, modifying the Customs' tariff,
and fixing the import duty on linen, thread, hemp, and
flax.

On the 27th instant MM. Deschamps and Smits
set out from Brussels for Paris, charged by the
Government with a mission relative to the commercial
intercourse between France and Belgium. There is,
therefore, some truth in the rumours upon this subject
recently circulated by the French journals.
The Turks are committing the most atrocious
cruelties in Candia. Prisoners, after laying down their
arms, and accepting the promised clemency of Tithib
Paella, are butchered in cold blood; old men and children
are murdered ; women and girls of the most tender age
brutally violated ; houses burned ; corn crops destroyed;
and vineyards rooted up. In the words of the Augsburg
Gazette, we ask, " can it be possible that the great Chris-
tian Powers will suffer such atrocities to be committed
-under the sanction of their name ? Will they suffer a
Christian population of 100,000 souls to be butchered,
and a fertile island reduced to a desert ? Is there
no Napier to be now found to drive the Turks out of
Candia, as the Gallant Commodore did the Egyptians
out of Egypt ?"

On the Ist of May her Majesty's ship Fantoine
captured the Josephine, the fastest brigantine out of
Havannah, with 299 slaves on board, after a chase of
24 hours, and going over 257 miles. The prize had
been chased by her Majesty's ships Wolverine, Bonotta
Cygnet, and Lyra, but outstripped them all.
London, England, 1841-07-31

LAW AND POLICE.

Mr. Day, whose name appeared at the Mansion-
house as having practised the cruel hoax of sending to a
literary gentleman in great necessity a fictitious check
for 201., addressed a letter to the Lord Mayor, enclosing
a Post-office order for two guineas, to counteract the
notion which he feared might get abroad, that he was
actually the hoaxer. He considered it part of a syste-
matic attempt to ruin him.

Information was given at Hatton Police-office yes-
terday that a girl of the name of Stanley, who had lately
made five attempts to drown herself in the New River
had at last succeeded. She threw herself from Camden-
bridge into the New River yesterday, and in less than
ten minutes she was taken out dead.

-- At the Norwich Assizes n action was brought to
recover the sum of 1,5001. upon a policy of insurance
on the life of one Thomas Howes. The case occupied
the Court for two days, and towards the close of the
second day, it being clearly ascertained from the evi-
dence of the surgeon, that deceased had made a false

representation of the state of his health, the Judge
directed to find a verdict for the defendant.

SCIENCE AND ART.

The proceedings of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science opened on Thursday last,' at
Plymouth. The expenses of the last meeting were en-
tered into, and resolutions passed that their proceedings
thereafter should be cheapened. The officers of the dif:-
ferent sections were filen elected, the sections from A to
G appointed, and the official programme read for the
order of the week's meetings.

NAVAL AND MILITAILY.

The examination of the students of the College of
Engineers established at Battersea,took place on Thursday,
in presence of Colonel Hutchinson, of the Bengal engi-
neers, Colonel Stanhope, Sir G. Ogle, and several other
persons of distinction. The result was very satisfactory,
and numerous prizes were distributed. There are at pre-
sent 90 pupils in the establishment.

The Board of Ordnance has published a general order
dated July 9, 1841, having reference to the appointment
of rank and file non-commissioned officers to act as
quarter-master sergeants on foreign stations, and order-
ing that, in consequence of officers not reporting; at the
time, such cases of unforeseen exigency as require a
deviation from the finance regulations, for the future the
penalty attached to such omissions will be enforced.

admirable tale, in one handsome volume, a most accept-
able addition to Mr. Bentley's " Standard Novels." It
is with infinite relish we have again perused it, and re-
newed our acquaintance with its varied dramatis personT,
the weak and pompous -Lord Rossville and the different
branches of his family, the Blacks, with the important
Bell and her Major, the inimitable and almost omni-
present Miss Pra',,t, old uncle Adam, and his bonnie
Lizzie Lundie, & e., &c. The author has carefully re-
vised this new issue of her most popular work, which
deserves to br,l widely disseminated for the useful lessons
it inculcates and the truthful portraiture it presents of
character In different spheres of life.—Caledonian Mer-
cury.
Toe works of the Paris and Orleans railroad are
going on with great rapidity, and in order to be fully prepared,
twenty-four locomotive engines were ordered of Mr. Stephen-
son, of Newcastle, several months ago. The ;esults of the
branch of the railway already opened to the public, viz., from
Parrs to Corbeil, have just been published by the Company.
It appears that from the 20th September last, to the 31st May,
253 caye, the number of passengers was 505,394, and the total
amount of the receipts 764,360 f., being an average of If. 51e.
for each person. This total gives an average of nearly 2,000
persons per day, or about 739,000 per annum ; the receipts for
whom would be about 1,100,000 f. Estimating the expense of
this portion of the road at 10,000,000 f, and the current ex-
penses at 45 per cent., •it would give a net revenue of about
ckOO,CIOOL, or about 6 per cent. interest,— Galignani's Mes-
senger.

Meat was in good supply, the demand dull at the following
prices :—Beef, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 4d. ; Mutton, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 4d. ;
Veal, 4s. to ss. ; Pork, 4s. 2d. to 4s. 10d. ; Lamb, ss. to ss.

dull, and prices the same as last quoted. Eggs in good supply,
at ss. 2d. to 6s. 6d. per 120.
COLONIAL MARKET.
Prices much the same, u ithout a single indication of im-
provement, the importers baying almost ceased to press large
parcels of goods by public auction. B. P. Sugar went off
steadily, and prices were well supponed. Brown 553. to
58s. 6d. ; Yellow, 595. to 635. ; and fine 665. 6d. to 695. per
cwt. Mauritius and Bengal commanded the recent advance.
Coffee of fine quality sold readity at previous rates ; inferior
sorts dull, at lower terms ; Rice, flat and lower ; Pepper,
firm ; Cassia Lig,na, dull, and prices declining.
TEA MARKET.

The prices were well sustained, with a good disposition on
the part of the dealers and speculators to operate, and a further
advance is looked for. Company's Congou sold at 2s. 20. per
lb. cash.
TALLOW MARKET.

Prices of Russian c-Aitinue nominally as high as 475. to 475.
6d. on the spot, the trade being quite opposed to purchase
on such terms, especially while they can get South American
to suit their purpose at lower prices.

BRIGHTON, JULY 5. The Pavilion at
Brighton is undergoing external repair. The windows
in the dome copula are painted of a lighter colour than
they were before, and have a much better effect. It was
some time since said that her Majesty intended honour-
ing Brighton with her presence, and the above circum-
stance is looked upon as an encouragement to the hope
of a Royal visit.

SUN.—Matters are.not so promising in the City as
'they were some time back, and though always finding
pleasure in contemplating the • brightest side of a dark
picture, we' cannot forbear to call attention to the
somewhat unfavourable advices from most parts of the
country, not exempting Ireland and Scotland, respecting
the_ appearance of the crops. ,There is the more reason to
advert to this circumstance inasmuch as we know-from
past, and we had almost said fatal experience, how
powerful is the influence it exercises on• the foreign ex-
changes. It is especially important, however,, at r the
present moment as tending to show that the hard-worked
and ill-paid manufacturing population may have another
period of suffering to undergo, in consequence of the re-
strictive Corn-laws.

The lends were depressed to-day,. the appre-
hension of a demand for money arising, hav-
ing caused numerous sales. In Consols there was
a decline again of per cent to-day, making 4- per
cent. reduction since Saturday. For 'present transfer,
ex-dividend, the current prices were 89f to it, and for
the opening; on the IGth inst., the same. There were a
good many sales in all the other securities at a similar
movement, in favour of the buyers, and money was worth
5 per cent. on. the Stock Exchange. The -premium' on
Exchequer Bills was still 17s and 145., and upon India
Bonds it advanced to 3s. and ss. As temporary, and
yet objects of investment, these are now in some
favour. The Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities were
at 89-0 o 89f ; the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. at 99* to
98'* ; Bank Stock at 170 to IG9*, being rather better,
dud Eat India •Stoclt at 248. The New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents, were 98f to 98*.
For the Peninsular, and other. foreign bondsi•there was
no inqUiry.' Brazil were at 674 ; Mexican at 2ai to 27 ;
Spanish at 21 .to 4, •and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 51*. • •
Tha-Share Market-was- drooping. Grert Western
were 25* to 25 ; the New 12 ; the Fifths '6f. and the

and Blackwall 9 digcount.

There was no alteration this Afternoon requiring par-
ticulaf • liotice fn. the rates of the Foreign Exchanges,

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience is a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooaed, er treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain nabit7s,
would be entirely ou lot place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation' of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on. • • • .

founded on the anecdote in Seneca's treatise, De Clementia,
Lib. 1., cap, ix. The subject is' the clemency of Augustus
Caesar to Cinna, a conspirator whom Seneca pithily describes
Cf e TnaH EwAasTpitr oErce d M--°a
as ingenii vir, and whom Corneille was by no means
disposed to raise in the scale of humanity, since he makes
Augustus reflect on his "peu de write.' In itself the sub-
ject is extremely simple, Caesar discovering the plot, in which
this infinitely stupid conspirator iS engaged, and pardoning
him, after making a long oration, at the request of Livia; as
well as on the consideration that he is Pompey's grandson.
,The character of Emilie which 'was sustained by Made-
moiselle Rachel, was.decidedly the least effective of any in
which she has hitherto appeared. The play is composed of a
heavy grandiloquent rhetoric, .which 'affords but small oppor-
tunity for those varied colourings' of expression in which
Rachel so greatly excels, though her noble declamation is, of
course, called into action... At the fall of the curtain she had
to receive her usual plaudits, and 'to be showered upon by
bbuquets of every dimension.. The other characters of the
tragedy were fairly
Idayed. M. Gettig., as Cinna, displayed a
PO understanding of the character,' and M. Delhomme, as
