FINSBUItY.

Francis Bayley, Esq., held his first court for the re-
vision of the list of voters for the borough of Finsbury
this morning, in the Vice Chancellor's Court at Lin-
coln's Inn.
The lists passed in the morning were those of the
Liberty of the Rolls, and St. Andrew and St. George
the Martyr.

TUE THEATRES.—The longest period of theatrical
dullness that probably was ever known will terminate
this present week. The Adelphi Theatre, which has
been newly decorated, is to open on Wednesday, to-
morrow (Tuesday) being the last night that the Adelphi
companyperform at the Haymarket. Sadler's
weis, und
er the management of Mr. Phelps, will also,
ider will
according to announcement, open on Wednesday, and
Coriolanus will be produced in grand style. On Mon-
day (Oct. 2) the Lyceum is expected to open, still under
the management of Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Ma-
thews. The Haymarket, after its closing to-morrow,
will probably remain shut until the end of October,
when it will be re-opened with its own proper company,
and for its own proper business. The interval is to be
devoted to a thorough renovation of the interior. On
Monday (Oct. 9) Mr. Distiu and his sons, the popular
Sax-horn players, will give a farewell concert at Drury-
lano Theatre, previous to their departure for America.
The company of the Princess's Theatre has been called
together, preparatory to the opening of that establish-
ment.

CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL.—The parting sermon
of the Dean of Manchester, upon the occasion of his
finally leaving the perish of St. Paul, Covent-garden,
was prenched yesterday morning, from John iii. II:
" Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which
is good. He that doeth good is of God; but he that
doeth evil hath not seen God." From the annual state
ment of the Operations of the hospital, it appears that
during the past year 12 092 indigent sick persons were
admitted on the books for relief, at a cost of 2,292/. 4s.
11d. These, with the cases reported in former years,
make a total of 133,758 sick and needy individuals who
have partaken of the advantages of the institution, from
its commencement in 1818 to the end of December, 1847.
During the last year no fewer than 10,509 patients were
admitted into the hospital, without any recommendation
whatever. At the close of the sermon, which was an
elaborate review of the Very Rev. Dean's ministerial
labours in the parish for a period of seveateea years,
liberal collection was made on behalf of the charity.
