TUSCANY.

The Alba of Florence states that 1,000 Piedmontese
are to garrison Leghorn. This, says the Alba, will
be a breach of faith on the part of the Tuscan Go-
vernment, and it is to be feared that the new Gonfa-
lonier and Guerr‘azzi will be unable to appease the
wrath of the people of Leghorn.

HUNGARY AND CROATIA.

The rumour of the defeat of the Ban JELLACHICII
and his Croatians by the Hungarian troops is con-
firmed. The Prussian Slaats Anzeiger of the 27th
says—

" Major Vohar, who Commanded the Hungarians,
apprised by his scouts of the advance of the Croats,
lay concealed, with three battalions of infantry, under
cover of some low brushwood. After waiting three-
quarters of an hour, the outposts of the enemy ap-
peared. He gave orders to his riflemen not to fire
till the enemy was within a hundred ydrds
ordered five divisions of cavalry to sweep round and
some
low mounds, to fall upon the flank of the enemy. A
dense fog favoured these movements, which cleared
away at the proper moment, when the Magyars, after
the first volley, rushed sword in hand upon their foe;
the result, as we stated yesterday, was the rout of the
Croats, with the loss of 1,500 killed and wounded,
17 guns, and 3 colours.

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA.

A body of 1,200 recruits, Poles and Germans, who
had entered the Russian service, cut their way
through the Russians at Elizabethenord, in the
government of Cherson, during the night, and
joined the Turks, in consequence of an attempt made
by the Russian General to disband them.
The Hungarian Minister of War has received the
following intelligence

" ORTOVA, SEPT. 9.—The re-establishment of the
armed force in Wallachia is proceeding very slowly,
whereas the Russian army has lately been increased
by 50,000 men, and according to undoubted informa-
tion entered Wallachia on the 7th. In the vicinity of
Widden a Turkish corps of 12,000 men has been con-
centrated, and SOLOMAN PACUA, who was encourag-
ing the Wallachians, was repulsed by SOUT EFFENDI."

SWITZERLAND.

The Gazetta Ticinese publishes a proclamation
from the Council of State of the republic and canton
of Tesino to their fellow-citizens, in which, after
complaining of the hostile measures of Radetzky
against the canton, and announcing that the Vorort
had been by them apprised of the matter, they
recommend their fellow-citizens to behave with the
firmness required by the serious circumstances in
which they are placed.

TANGIERS.

The National publishes a letter from a private
correspondent, dated Tangier.;, the 11th instant,
which announces that the differences existing be-
tween the British GoverAment and the Emperor of
Morocco are about to be arranged amicably. The
dispute which has al isen between the Spaniards and
the Moors has, on the contrary, become more com-
plicated. The position of the garrison of Melilla has
become intolerable. The people of the Rif fire daily
at least twelve or fifteen cannon-shot into that town
from a single piece, presented to them by Abd-el-
Kader. A sortie made by the garrison to capture the
unlucky gun had nearly caused the loss of the fort,
and since then the enemy have become more trouble-
some. A Spanish ship-of war has made its appear-
ance at Tangiers, but it has produced no effect on the
Moorish Minister, Sidi-Bou-Sellam, who refuses to
give any satisfaction to the Spaniards.

BOURSE—Penis, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29.

THREE O'CLOCIL.—This has been a day of great ex-
citement at the Bourse ; the Rentes have further de-
clined, and have dragged the Railway Shares in their
train. Bank of France Shares have fallen no less than
75f. This is owing to a meeting of the Bank directors,
held this morning, at which it is said that they came to
a resolution that, in the event of the National Assembly
passing a measure now before it for the creation of two
thousand millons of bons hypothecaires, the Bank will
at once close business, and wind up its accounts.
This resolution has created an immense sensation, as it
is thought probable that the measure in question will
be adopted by the Assembly. The Bank returns pub-
lished this morning, though by no means favourable, are
not of a nature to assist in the fall. For the Account,
the French Three per Cents. hare fallen 25c.; Five per
Cents, have fallen 60c.; the Loan has fallen 75c. For
Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 60c.; Five per
Cents. have fallen 60c. also ; and the Loan has fallen
80c.; Bons du Tresor are not quoted ; Bank of France
Shares, which closed yesterday at 1,6151., closed to-day
at 1,5501., after having been as low as 1,5401.; Belgian
Bank Shares not quoted ; Five per Cents. remain as
yesterday ; Spanish Three per Cents. are at 2;1; Roman
and Rothschild's receipts are the same as yesterday.
Exchange on London (thirty days), 251. 32c.; ditto
(ninety days), 251. 17ic. Railway Shares have suffered
severely, and especially the heavy Stocks. Orleans
have fallen 10f.; Rouens, 151.; Havres, 7f. 50c. ; Nor-
therns, lf. 25c.; Marseilles, If. 25c.; Bordeaux, 31. 75c.;
and Nantes, If. 25c.; Strasburgs remain as yesterday.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived.
CABRERA was in the Lampurdan. Intelligence had
reached Madrid of the entry into Spain of a band of
refugees by the Valley of the Anso.

It was sumoured in Madrid that unfavourable
news had been received from the disturbed dis-
tricts, and that a body of troops had been cut off by
the Carlists.
The 24th, being Sunday, there was no Boise.

PRUSSIA.

The cholera continues to diminish at Berlin. On
the 26th there were only twenty-five cases.
Cologne still continues in a state of siege. A pro-
clamation was issued on the 27th calling on all
persons to deliver up their arms, and threatening
those who should neglect to do so with severs
punishment. The Cologne Gazette of the 28th
says—

" Our garrison has been reinforced by three bat-
talions, viz., of the 13th, 14th, and 17th regiments of
the line, and a division of Rifles. The 6th Uhlanen
regiment has been ordered to Deutz as long as the
state of siege lasts. Here at Cologne the troops were
joyfully welcomed by their comrades and joined in
the bivouac in the streets. The night passed by
without the slightest disturbance. 'We are sorry to
say that some of the outposts ill treated some persons
near the New Market, one of whom is reported to
have since died. The guns before the Government
offices have since beeen withdrawn. More arrests
were made to-day."

" Sec. 20. Every one is at liberty to choose his own
trade or profession, and to educate himself how and
where he likes.

"ART. 6.

" Sec. 21. Germans have the right of assembling
peaceably, and without arms. They need no parti-
cular permission to do so.
People's meetings in the open air may be forbidden,
when public order or the public safety is in imminent
danger.

"Sec. 22. Germans have the right of forming
unions. This right shall not be limited by any pre-
ventive measures.

" The order of the Jesuits, as also that of Redemp-
tores and Liguorhans, is for ever banished from the
territory of the German empire."

Before the discussion commenced on the funda-
mental rights, Mr. SIMON, of Treves, proposed a mo-
tion, having for its object that the sanction given to
the armistice should be annulled. This proposal was
not recognised as urgent. Mr. ZIMMERMANN, of
Spandau, then put a series of questions on Schleswig.
Holstein. The Minister, VON SCIIMERLING, said he
would give explanations on the following Monday
in the meanwhile he would state that the Central
Power would take care that the resolution taken by
the Assembly on the 16th should be executed, and he
further said that the Commission which had, it was
stated, been named by the Danish Government,
would not be recognised by the Central Power, as the
nomination of such a Commission had not been stipu-
lated in the convention of the armistice.

ITALY.

NAPLES.

Intelligence from Naples to the 21st has been re-
ceived. In consequence of tEe refusal of the Minister
BozzEm to carry out any of the proposed reforms
great discontent had been excited. It was rumoured
that there had been an outbreak at Cosenza.

SOIREES MYSTERIEUSES.-Mr. J. 11. Anderson, the
original Wizard of the North, gave at this theatre last
evening the first of a series of entertainments, which
he will continue during the Christmas holidays.
After a tour through Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Russia, Prus4e, and Germany, during which he had
the honour of performing before " the whole of the
monarchy of northern Europe," who acknowledged
their sense of his cabalistic skill by sundry presents
and testimonials, Professor Anderson last night

DRURY- LANE.

The troupe of equestrians from th• Cirque Na-
tional, under the management of M. Dejean, who
were so successful here last season, have returned to
this theatre for a brief. period. Their performances
are already so familiar to the public, that we need
not enter into any very detailed description. As a
whole, they were even better than last year, long
practice in the provinces having better accustomed
the artists to the English taste and habits. The
company is a very large one, and comprises all the
favourites of last season. Among the most aston-
ishing and interesting of the performances was that
of M. Adolphe Franconi, with the horses Pyramus
and Thisbe ; the " Leap of Streamers" by Mdlle.
Ducos ; the scene of Mdlle. Palmyra Anato, in which
she leaps over seven scarfs, and through seven circles;
and the fishs.vonian," a transformation act, by Miss
Clark. The scene entitled the " Haute Ecole," by
Ma Me. Caroline, is alone worth a visit to the esta-
blishment. Familiar as the public are by this time
with this lady's graceful management of her steed,
the performance is one which never seems to pall
upon the audience. There were also the usual won-
derful exercises of the voltigeurs, and the scenes in
the circle were enlivened by th_i humour of Auriol,
Leclair, Young Auriol, and " Mohamet Ben Said."
London, England, 1848-12-27

SADLER'S WELLS.

The pantomime at this suburban theatre, the scene
of triumph of Joe Grimaldi and Bologna, is from the
pen of Mr. Greenwood, and is entitled Harlequin and
the World Turned Upside Down; or, Number Nip
and the Enchanted Fountain. Every portion of
Sadler's Wells was crowded to suffocation, and, in
accordance with time-honoured practice, more than
an ordinary amount of hilarity and fun prevailed
among the audience, who came to disport themselves
with the Christmas offering. Otway's Venice Pre-
served was the first piece provided for the entertain-
ment of the holiday folk, and which was, as a matter
of course on boxing-night, mere dumb show ; at times
the acting of Mr. Bennett had the effect of restoring
quiet, but only while he was on the stage ; imme-
diately he quitted it the boisterous voice of hilarity
and mirth was heard revelling in all its glory. At
last the curtain fell on the tragedy—a welcome to the
denizens of the upper region. The pantomime was
preceded by a very pretty medley overture, and, after
the usual shouts of " Down," " Hats off," " //order,"
Ste., the curtain rose. The opening scene consists of
an illustration of the present state of Europe, with
the triumph of revolution over several foreign mo-
narchs. Revolution in the c,ntre, with Liberty,
Equality, and Fraternity, as his attendant sprites, and
Failure, Disappointment, and Moonshine as his follies.
The scene is changed; we are conducted by a dio-
ramic railroad to the goblin's golden land, leading to
the Gnome King's metallic palace in the centre of the
earth. In the valley of Wolfenbattel, at the foot of the
Hartz Mountain,the transformation of theGnomeKing's
palace is really beautiful, and it was rapturously
applauded. :Here the Vegetable Court is introduced,
and a scene of amusement for the Princess's special
delectation got up, including a pas de trois grotesque
a navets, and a pas de quatre aux carrottes; and in
this splendid palace the transformation then takes
place, Nip becoming Clown, Prince Ratibor Harle-
quin, King Log Pantaloon, Brunhilda Sprite, and
the Princess Columbine. The comic scenes open with
a view of the new Coal Exchange, which is followed
by the exterior of the Colosseum, well-known shops
in London, and the Champs Elysges. The tricks are
very plentifully scattered through the pantomime, but
London, England, 1848-12-27

MARYLEB ONE.

The Christmas entertainments at this pretty little
theatre presented, as their chief feature, a specimen
of the pantomime, entitled One o'Clock ; or, Harle-
quin and Hardylenute, the Knight and the Wooden
Denton—one of those old time-honoured productions
in which brilliant scenic effect and the mechanical
ingenuity of the machinest are expected to make up
for dull dialogue and barren invention.
The attempt to render explicit the plot of one of
these entertainments by any process of unravelment
would be a vain effort. The only mode effectual for
the purpose is, like the solution of the Gordian knot
—to cut it. There was the usual abundance of grace-
ful dancing nymphs, fays and fairies, enchanted
castles, oppressed and imprisoned beauties, ogre-like
gaolers, demons, pointless witticisms, crystal columns,
unmeaning dialogue, and a hetercgeneous jumble of
things agreeable to the eye and grating to the ear,
which the audience endured with edifying composure
until the transformation of the characters to Harle-
quin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and. Clown, when the
agility and broad humour of Jefferini in the latter
character, aided by the eccentricities of Moreland and
Morris, and the grace of Miss Healey, kept the house
in uninterrupted good humour until the curtain fell
upon a grand tableau, which the bill, in anticipation,
correctly described as " gorgeous." The piece was
successful.

&T. JAMES'S.

SOIREES FAINTASTIQUISS.—Last night a numerous
and brilliant audience, amongst whom was a large
sprinkling of young ladies and gentlemen home for
the holidays, witnessed one of the delightful Soirees
Fantastiques of M. Robert Houdin, which he pro-
poses to continue on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sa-
turdays, until the end of the Christmas) vacation.
We have so recently noticed these surprising per-
formances, from which the entertainment of last
evening presented but a trifling variation, that it is
only necessary for us to say that M. Houdin was
regarded throughout the whole of his mysterious
proceedings with a wonder which was never unmixed
with delight. Perhaps one of the most pleasing,
as it certainly is one of the most surprising tricks,
is that which he plays with the cornucopia, which,
after being presented to the audience as an empty,
vessel, is made to pour forth an unlimited quan-
tity of fans, bonbons, albums, journals, and other
things. These treasures M. Houdin distributes with
a nice discrimination amongst his audience. If, for
a moment, he shows a partiality for some striking
beauty in a box or stall, or for a particular party of
pretty children, who may be stretching out their little
hands over a box to catch the coveted prize, M.
Houdin does not forget the. claims of beauty in the
pit. The society of M. Houdin may be confidently
recommended to all fond parents and kind guardians
as a means of keeping up . one branch of study, at
least, in the rising generation during the holidays.
M. Houdin takes his audience into partnership with
him. Sundry little colloquies in French occur
between him and his audience on the subject of the
moment. Many little articles of wearing apparel and
jewellery have to be borrowed for the nonce. The
loan is asked in unexceptionable French ; and some
young ladies and gentlemen, we thought, would have
gladly forgot mince-pies and remembered the French
master again could they have granted the loan in
terms as perfect. This evening and Friday at this
theatre will be devoted to the performances of Dum-
bolton's Ethiopian Serenaders.
London, England, 1848-12-27

COLOSSEUM.

One of the most attractive and instructive of the
various exhibitions with which the metropolis abounds
at this moment is the Colosseum. The grand pano-
rama of " Paris by Night," conveys to the mind an
idea of that beautiful city, which description, however
elaborate, fails to furnish. Added to this—the chief
attraction—are a well selected museum of sculpture,
also conservatories, Swiss cottage and mountain tor-
rent, and classic ruins. The museum of sculpture is
brilliantly illuminated during the day, and forms a
pleasant promenade for the visitors.
London, England, 1848-12-27

BRUNSWICK.

I would advise all emigrants for New Brunswick
to go out, if possible, in the months of March or April,
and to make St. John their landing place; it is a
stirring, busy town, with more than 30,000 inhabi-
tants, and, in fact, the real capital of the province,
although the seat of Government is at Frederickton,
eighty miles higher up the river. The course to be
pursued on arrival must vary with the circumstances
and means of the emigrant. To agricultural labourers,
single men, and without capital, I would say, get
employment on a farm as soon as possible; do not
stand out for high wages, but take anything like a
fair offer. Having worked through the spring and
summer, and thus gained a little experience in the
mode of tillage adopted on new land, which, after all,
hasits peculiarities, I would advise him in October
to engage with some lumberer, of whom, as master
or " boss," he he ars a good character from his fellow-
labourers, for the ensuing winter, or till the logs cope
down ia the following spring. This is called:" engaging
for the route." His pay will vary from 31. to 4/. per
month, and he will feed like a prince on salt pork,
and cod fi,h, beans, excellent bread, with tea and
molasses. There is no stint of food in a camp, and
mater and men share alike. Here he will learn to
handle the axe, an indispensable accomplishment, but
one which few Englishmen can master at first; he
will have a complete specimen of life in the woods,
which will enable him to judge how far the climate,
the nature of the work, and the mode of life suit his
habits and constitution; and if he be possessed of
ordinary intelligence, he will obtain from his com-
rades, as well as from his own observations, a store of
hints and maxims, as well as local information, which
will be of the greatest use to him in his selection and
management of land, or in any other occupation
which he may afterwards decide on following. As
soon as strearo•driving is over, which will be,

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
FIGGINS AND OTHERS V. READ.

This was an action to recover 51. 18s., on a guarantee
which had been given for goods sold to a person named
Payne. The defendant suffered judgment to go by de-
fault. The only question in the case was as to interest,
which the plaintiffs' attorney contended he was entitled
to from the date of the guarantee.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the guarantee
stated so, but there was little doubt the intention was to
pay interest from the date of default, but as the defendant
had not pleaded, the verdict might go for the amount.
London, England, 1848-12-27

REEVES V. REECE.

The plaintiff is the well-known artists' colourman, and
defendant is a tradesman at Swansea. The amount
claimed was 111. 19s. Ild. Defendant did not plead, and
a verdict was given for the amount.

MA RLBRO'-STREET- ( THIS DAY.)

Richard Hill, a waiter at the London Hotel, in Albel
marle-street, was charged with wilfully annoying Mr.
Edwin Van der Gutch, the proprietor of Groves Hotel, in
the same street, by ringing his door-bell.
Complainant stated that the defendant was a waiter
at the London Hotel, but was formerly in his service in
a similar capacity. For several months past witness had
been much annoyed by having his hall door-bell rung at
all hours of the night ; and although be suspected the
defendant to be the culprit, he did not discover the fact
until the previous night, when he disguised himself and
went into the street. He had not been watching many
minutes when he saw the defendant go up to the door
and pull the bell twice and run away. He went again a
third time, and having rung the bell, witness darted from
his hiding place and collared him. A struggle ensued,
and they both foil down ; in the struggle the defendant
got a black eye.
Defendant admitted ringing the bell last night, but
etc utly denied ever doing so before.
Fined 75., or, in default, to be committed for a week.

ANY EXTRA CHARGE

By its zeal in the cause of progress,—and its staunch de i-otion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuse., and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposure. _ .

Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
Four:, NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will still coatis= to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
" PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH

ill next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
paid to them for the current number.
An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Malls, so that persons residing in towns MO miles from London may
receive it the same evening.

An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, containing news direct from Paris,
axd other parts of the Continent, up to eight o'clock on Saturday
Eveningl

To prevent disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
RICHARD WOOD, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom Post-ofllce
Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsvenders, in town
and country.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDA Y.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, this
week, have not exceeded 370 quarters, almost wholly
from Essex. To day, the show of samples of both red
and white was small. Still, however, swing to the thin
attendance of buyers, the demand was in a sluggish state,
at prices about equal to those pail on Friday last.
Most of the parcels wire disposed of prior to the close of
business. Since our last report we have received 5,470
quarters of Wheat from abroad. With that article we
were► tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied.
Really fine qualities were in moderate request, at full
rates of currency. In the middling and out-of.condition
sorts next to nothing was doing, yet we cannot call them
cheaper. Scarcely any English Barley was on offer,
but the show of loreign was very extensive—upwards
of 17,000 quarters having come in. All descriptions
were dull in the extreme, and quite Is. per quarter cheaper.
The quantity of Malt ready for delivery was trifling ;
nevertheless, the trade was heavy, and the quotations
had a downward tendency. The best Oats were mostly
held at full prices. All other kinds ruled very dull.
Beans. Peso, Indian Corn, Meal and Flour, were a heavy
inquiry.

CYCLORAIIIA.

This exhibition, which has been for a long time
past in preparation, was thrown open yesterday in a
large building in Albany-street, at the back of and
adjoining the Colosseum. It is a moving panorama,
like the last-mentioned, representing the city of Lis-
bon as it was in 1755, and ending with the earthquake
in that year. The public attended in large numbers.
A new grand Apcllonicon performs appropriate music
during the exhibition.

PRINCESS'S.

A bumper house of merry faces did due honour to
boxing•night at this theatre. After the pleasant
melodies and fairy dances of Robin Goodfellow, came
the great holiday attraction, in the shape of a " new
grand comic pantomime, with new scenery, ma-
chinery, properties, dresses, tricks, and transforma-
tions,' entitled Bluff King Hal; or, Harlequin and
the Charmed Arrow. The introduction abounds with
spledid scenery and grotesque dresses; but panto-
mimic bards are not over studious of plot, and
we despair of unravelling the mysteries of the
present. Suffice it to say that Bluff King Hal, with
Cardinal Wolsey, and lull the other historic
personages known to the fame of his Court, figure pro-
minently therein. The King has the folly to essay
the trial of true love in a match at shooting Cupid's
arrows with a tender-hearted swain of low degree,
whom Hymen assigns for his competitor; and the
Royal Bluebeard being, as might be expected,
signally discomfited, is condemned along with his
Ministers to do penance as Harlequin '(M. Bologr a),
Pantaloon (Mr. Paulo), and Clown (Mr. Flexmore).
The pantomimic artists at this theatre are of great
excellence, and kept the audience in a state of
thorough enjoyment, as was evinced by the up-
roarious ebullitions of hilarity which were almost
uninterrupted throughout. In the harlequinade there
are some good hits ; we may particularise the
Quadrant as it is and as it will he, Ramsgate and sea-
beach, the great Sea Serpent, Jullien's Drum Polka,
and the Electric Light. The haven of happiness is
gained at length, and closes all with a brilliant fairy
view.

The Osservatore Triestino contradicts a statement
published in the Vienna journals, that the Croatians
had taken Malghera on the 11th instant, after a three
days' attack. It is true that the Croats attacked
Malghera twice, but each time they were repulsed
with considerable loss.

The Minister at War of CHARLES ALBERT has
given orders that all volunteers are to be received at
the castle of San Giovanni, and the committee of
Parma, Piacenza, Modena, and Reggio, has addressed
a proclamation, dated Turin, December 8, to the in-
habitants of these Duchies, exhorting them to be
ready for every event, as CHARLES ALBERT has not,
it says, strengthened his army merely for ostentation's
sake.

Letters from Rome, published by the Bologna
Gazette of the 18th inst., announce the arrival there
of a Briish diplomatist of distinction. He is said to
have advised that a person of confidence should be
dispatched to the POPE to endeavour to effect a
reconciliation. He had even offered himself as
mediator.

RAGGED SCHOOLS FOR DESTITUTE POOR CHILDREN.
—The benevolent and charitable will, at this season of
the year, find ragged schools an excellent medium to
convey their bounty to the most destitute of their fellow-
creatures. About 280 children attending the St. Giles's
Ragged Schools (now temporarily carried on in George-
street, St. Giles's) Iv( re supplied on Christmas-day with
hot roast beef, potatoes, bread, and plum pudding, at the
expense of a few benevolent individuals.

ADELPHI.

The performances at this favourite temple of Mo-
mus consisted of the adaptation, in a dramatic form,
of Mr. Dickens's Christmas book, the Haunted Man,
the Enchanted Isle, and Slasher and Crasher. We
have already spoken of the taste and energy displayed
by the actors at this theatre in the interpretation of
Mr. Dickens's new work and its motto, " Remember
wrongs, in order to forgive them," and have only to
add that on each night of the reproduction of the
Haunted Alan, the circle of the readers of the book
among the auditory having nightly become increased,
the merits of the piece and the successful exertions of
the artists have been thoroughly appreciated and ap-
plauded. The beautiful scenery of the Eachanted
Isle, and the drolleries of Wright and Bedford in
Slasher and Crasher, by turns delighted and amused
a crowded house; and the evening's entertainment
abundantly maintained the ancient reputation of Ma-
dame Celeste's popular and well ordered company.

DRURY LANE.

The troupe of equestrians from the Cirque Na-
tional, under the management of M. Dejean, who
were so successful here last season, have returned to
this theatre for a brief period. Their performances
are already so familiar to the public, that we need
not enter into any very detailed description. As a
whole, they were even better than last year, long
practice in the provinces having better accustomed
the artists to the English taste and habits. The
company is a very large one, and comprises all the
favourites of last season. Among the most aston-
ishing and interesting of the performances was that
of M. Adolphe Franconi, with the horses Pyramus
and Thisbe ; the " Leap of Streamers" by Mdlle.
Ducos ; the scene of Mdlle. Palmyre Anato, in which
she leaps over seven scarfs, and through seven circles;
and the'," fishvvornan," a transformation act, by Miss
Clark. The scene entitled the " Haute Ecole," by
Maellle. Caroline, is alone worth a visit to the esta-
blishment. Familiar as the public are by this time
with this lady's graceful management of her steed,
the performarce is one which never seems to pall
upon the audience. There were also the usual won-
derful exercises of the voltigeurs, and the scenes in
the circle were enlivened by the humour of Auriol,
Leclair, Young Auriol, and " Mohamet lien Said."

REVIEW OF THE WORE.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes In the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before ns
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PIiINCE,SS.S.

A bumper house•of merry faces did due honour to
boxing• night at this theatre. Atter the pleasant
melodies and fairy dances of Robin Goodfellow, came
the great holiday attraction, in the shape of a " new
grand comic pantomime, with new scenery, ma-
chinery, proper ties, dresses, tricks, and transforma-
tions," entitled Bluff King Had ; or, Harlequin and
the Charincd Arrow. The introduction abounds with
spledid scenery and grotesque dresses ; but panto-
mimic bai ds are not over studious of plot, and
we despair of unravelling the mysteries of the
present. Suffice it to say that Bluff King Hal, with
Cardinal Wolsey, and all the other historic
personages known to the fame of his Court, figure pro-
minently therein. The King has the folly to essay
the tr'al of true love in a match at shooting Cupid's
arrows with a tender-hearted swain of low degree,
whom Hymen assigns for his competitor; and the
Royal l3luebeard being, as might be expected,
signally disccmfitcd, is condemned along with his
Ministers to do penance as Harlequin (I‘l. Bologna),
Pantaloon (Mr. Paulo), and Clown (Mr. Flexmore).

This dioramic and panoramic exhibition, as the bill
styles it, attracted a good throng of visitors yesterday,

worthy of a visit, and never fail to be admired. From
the following list it will be seen that there is abundant
fare for tastes the most diverse :—The City of Berne

E IV COUR 7'.

(Before the Co)ImoN SERGEANT and Mr. Aldermen
FINNIs.)
H'illiani Petit, a fellmonger, was indicted for feloni-
ously receiwng 420 lbs. of wool, knowing the same to be
stolen.

It appeared that a woolstapler, of the name of Dslbyc
who carries on business in Bermondsey, had the two
bags safe upon his premises on the 23d of December
last, but on the following morning they were gone. The
evidence against the prisoner went to show that a person
of the name of Carney brought a cart to Dalby's house
between seven and eight in the evening, when the bags
in question were thrown into it, and then drove off to
the prisoner's yard, which was in the neighbourhood.
Here a man named Ferran, who had engaged the cart
from Carney, and also the prisoner, were seen. It was
also proved that the prisoner paid some money to Ferran
at a public-house on the same evening.
For the defence a number of witnesses were called,
some of whom were large woolstaplers in Bermondsey+
and had known the prisoner for many years, to give tes-
timony as to the character he had borne for honesty.
They all stated that they never knew him to have been
guilty of any dishonest act until accused of the present
charge.: _ _

The Learned JUDGII summed up.
The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

In the course of the morning an officer of the court
took occasion to inform • the magistrate that all the
summonses on the list of the:day, arising:from disputes
between the drivers and conductors of the rival cheap
omnibuses plying to and from Ilungerford-market had
been compromised, the proprietors having come to an
arrangement by which the two companies would be
amalgamated.
Mr. HENRY was very glad to hear this, as a great
public inconvenience and nuisance would now be put an
end to.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
LYME REGIS.

The Lyme Regis Election Committee re-assembled
this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair.
The case for thesitting,Member against Sir Fitzroy
Kelly being closed,
Mr. O'Kelly Templar was called by the other side.
lle stated that at the last election for Lyme Regis he
acted as the agent for Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and in a con-
versation he had with Sir Fitzroy before the election,
Sir Fitzroy gave him distinctly to understand
that he would be no party to any corrupt
practices for securing his return. It was true
that late on the day of the election Sellers and another
came to him, and stated that there was an unpolled voter
who would refrain from voting if Sir Fitzroy would
present him with 701., but witness refused to have any-
thing to do with the proposal. With regard to the case
where it had been proved that he had promised a voter
to pay him wages, whether he were in or out of work if
he would vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the witness admitted
that he did make the promise, but it was not for the
purpose of inducing the voter to support Sir Fitzroy
Kelly.
