GRANDEUR OF' - THE WELSH MOUNTAINS.—
" How grand those m*ntains, that shut in this gem of a lake
on all sides I Look, -how it glows in the sunbeams like a
sapphire 1 How steep 'those rocks, that seem to form ram-
parts—an inaccessible
,barrier to this little world !"—" Yet
those specks are the wild flocks without a fold ; see how they
hang on the precipice, or cross in files the broken crags, to
pick up a scanty vegetation that here and there relieves their
barrenness !"—" Perhaps, a few years since, they were com-
pletely denuded. The rock decomposes: first becomes moss,
whose decay becomes the parent of grasses ; thus have I seen
a ' scoria' of Vesuvius islanded with patches of green and yel-
low flowers. Even the marble and granite melt away, and
my fancy pieures to itself Switzerland, and dwells on some
chalet, with its little green meadow and garden-plat, hanging
almost in the clouds, which it requires the sturdy legs and
steady head of the mountaineer to reach ; my brain has grown
dizzy in watching his ascent to his eagle-home."-1, You call
this mountain unscaleable ; but I see a shepherd threading the
zigzag path, and the peasant girls wind up it with considerable
weights on their heads, to the market of :Yfachynlleth, which,

DEATH OF S. T. COLERIDGE, ESQ.

We have this week to record the departure of another
mighty spirit from among us—the quenching in the darkness
of the grave of another of the few bright stars which yet re-
mained to us. We have it not in our power to offer any de-
tailed biographical notice of Mr. Coleridge. That ke was
born at Bristol, educated at Christ's Hospital, studied at Jesus
College, Cambridge, and accompanied the late Sir Alexander
Ball to Malta as secretary, are facts which are already public.
His tour to Germany (accomplished through the liberality of
the Messrs. Wedgwood), his residence at Nether Stowey and
at the Lakes, his marriage, and the birth of his children—his
labours in the Friend, the Watchman, and the Morning Post
—his residence during the latter years of his 11ife at Highgate
—are things so well known to the greater number of our readers,
that they call for no particular mention on this occasion. His
life was one of precarious fortunes, the consequences of those
singularities of character, temperament, and habits, which
grew out of his original and peculiar genius. Those who have
read his Biographia Literaria will not forget his account of
his journey to solicit subscriptions for his Watchman, nor his
extraordinary harangue against periodical literature in the
house of one for whose patronage he was then soliciting. It
was a type of the man—a sure token that, in the hard business
of life, its strivings, and its amassings, he could not be suc-
cessful. Another anecdote of him, no less characteristic, may
not be so generally known. We have reason to believe that
during the early period of his life he enlisted as a common
soldier the Dragoons ;of course he dil not remain long in
the service. Perhaps his then democratical principles made
his officers willing to get rid of him—perhaps (which is a fact)
because he could not be taught to ride.
On Saturday the 2d inst. the mortal remains of the poet
and philosopher, S. T. Coleridge,'were deposited in the vaults
of Highgate Church. His funeral was strictly private, and
his hearse was followed by a. very few intimate friends only,
who had known and appreciated the high !moral excellence of
the man, and his affectionate love to all who had shown the
least kindness to him. Many of the admirers of his great at-
tainments and his high literary fame and reputation would
have wished to attend, but they were not invited, some even
excluded, by the friends who had the conduct of his funeral,
and who were best acquainted with the dislike of the deceased
to empty-ostentation, and with the just but meek and Chris-
t:an feelings and sentiments of his last moments. His works,
either now before the world or posthumous, under the care of
able. friends, will be the noblest monument which could be
raised to his memory, and prove to posterity what a loss Eng-
land and the world have experienced by his death.—Athr-
nccum.
London, England, 1834-08-05

THE LATE MRS. ARBUTHNOT.

The demise of this beautiful and accomplished lady was very-
sudden. The melancholy event was the principal topic of con-
versation at Lady Salisbury's. We learn that the deceased
died at a farm house near Woodford, to which she had walked,
and was there seized with spasms. Sir Henry Halford was
sent for, but before the Baronet's arrival she was no more. An
express was sent to Apsley House, which reached town on a-
turday evening, where the bearer, not finding the Duke of
Wellington, set off for Hertfordshire, and found his Grace at
dinner at Hatfield, with the Marquis and Marchioness of
Salisbury.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The disorder which hurried this lady to her grave was, we
hear, the cholera. Mrs. Arbuthnot expired at Woodford
House, near Kettering, in Northamptonshire, on Saturday
morning, after an indisposition of three days. An express was
sent to London on Thursday night for the attendance of Sir
H. Halford, who was, however, at the time, at his seat at Wis-
ton, in Lincolnshire, which is not far distant from Kettering.
Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot left Carlton-gardens for Woodford
yesterday fortnight, when the unfortunate lady was in high
health and spirits. She subsequently had a bilious attack,
from which, however, she was recovering at the beginning of
the last week. Mrs. Arbuthnot was the youngest daughter of
the late Hon. Thomas Fane, second son of the eighth Earl of
Westmoreland, and sister to Lieut.-General Sir Henry Fane,
and Lieut.-Colonel Mildmay Fane. She was in her 41st
year, and since January, 1823, had received a pension of 9361.
on the English Civil List. She was united to the Right
Hon. Charles Arbuthnot in 1814.

utting of the. Bourse. Mr. Rothschild Alone sent off

( From the Temps of Sunday.)
There reigned a veritable panic yesterday amongst speed-
lators, which caused a fall of two francs in the French funds,
and four in the Spanish.
The cause of this reaction, of which there have been few
examples for these two years, was a series of bad tidings from
the frontiers of Spain, confirmed, as was said, by telegraphic
despatches and messages addressed to the embassy.
There was nothing less talked of than the defeat of Rodil,
as he marched from Pampeluna, and the desertion of a corps of
400 men from his army, near Vittoria.
It was furthermore said that General Harispe had received
orders to enter Navarre. The more reserved utterers of tidings
merely asserted that the principle of intervention was deter-
mined upon in the French Cabinet three days ago.
( From the Courrier Francais of Aug. 3.)
It is a long time since the Bourse has been so agitated as
to-day. The panic was not confined to the Spanish funds,
but extended itself to the French, which experienced a consi-
derable fall. The two principal pieces of news were the de-
sertion of two regiments from Rodil, and the entrance of Ge-
neral Harispe into Spain ; one very improbable—the other
. most absurd.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

Mr. Simpson, the illustrious, the indefatigable, and, we
hope, the imperishable Master of the Ceremonies and distri-
butor of smiles and sandwiches, took his second benefit at " the
Royal property" last night. The company was of a highly
respectable character, with a considerable sprinkling of ton.
The air, however, was chilly, though the clouds were propi-
tious, and the assemblage of visitors was not so crowded as
such an occasion might have warranted us in expecting. The
fire-works were unusually brilliant, and the inimitable beneji-
ciaire was done to the life, forty feet high, in lamps of many
colours. The " oil which made (or ought to have made him)
of a cheerful countenance" was not done justice to, many of
the most striking features being unillumed. There were some
lamps deficient also in parts of the " great man's" unapproach-
able and irreproachable costume. We were sorryrry to see that
any one could have been
picking holes" in the coat of so
worthy an individual.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have no other arrivals this' morning than the French mail
and the express from Paris. They bring no later information from
the theatre of war than was previously received by the Bayonne
telegraph on Friday last. The most important information, by the
express, is that Count Pozzo di Borgo is reported to have stated,
that if France marches a single French soldier into Spain, he will
demand his passport of the French Government. There was also
another report, in Paris, that the whole of the Northern Powers
have protested against a French army marching into Spain.
Accounts 'from Bayonne state that General Harispe and the
Spanish Consul had left Bayonne for the Spanish frontiers. If this
should prove correct, it has the appearance of the approaching march
of the French into Spain.

An express has arrived from Madrid of the 28th ult., bringing
the important information that the Spanish government have sent
orders to their Ambassador at Paris to demand immediately the
execution of the Quadruple treaty of France and England, to march
troops into Spain to put down Don Carlos.
Consols have receded to 90%1/2 for account. Spanish were
down to 461/1 ; since which it has improved to 4714. Portuguese

ACCIDENT.----A dreadful accident took place yes-

Highgate Archway. A lady named Goodyer, with some
junior members of her family, was driving in a low four-
wheeled chaise, when the horse suddenly took fright, over-
turned the carriage, and the ladies were all thrown to the
ground and dreadfully bruised. Mrs. Goodyer was so bruised
by her fall that she died at half-past ten o'clock last night, and
has left a family of ten children to mourn her death.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

Novelties, and some very good ones too, are coming out at
this Theatre very rapidly. Last night a new drama, in three
acts, called The Heiress of Bruges, taken from Mr. Grattan's
popular novel of that name, was represented he,-re. In drama-
tising a work of fiction, great care should be taken to concen-
trate the dialogue and bring out the incidents and situations
in the most prominent light ; but this is rather a difficult task,
and we too frequently see novels acted chapter by chapter with
the same diffuse language with which they are written. In
The Heiress of Bruges this fault is apparent throughout, and
the piece loses much of its effect and all its interest in conse-
quence of a want of condensation in the dialogue. We should
strongly advise curtailment and compression from the opening
scene to the closing one, for without considerable pruning it is
impossible for the drama to be either attractive or tolerated.

BOROUGH OF THETFORD„

A deputation from the electors of Thetford waited upon
Biggs Andrews, Esq., of the Norfolk Circuit, on Saturday
last, with a requisition numerously and respectably signed,
inviting him to offer himself for the representation of the
borough on the present vacancy. He has complied with the
requisition, and yesterday canvassed the borough with much
success. The Grafton and Baring interests are opposed to
him ; one Member for each having been returned, by a com-
pact between the Duke and Mr. Baring and his predecessor
(Lord Petre) for upWards of sixty years. The electors ap-
pear to be tired of these family arrangements, and to be
anxious to return a Member of their own nomination. Mr.
Andrews' political principles are of a liberal and independent
character, and lie is highly respected in the town and neigh-
bourhood. It is rumoured that the Earl of Euston will be
the other candidate.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

An announcement for some days past that the whole strength
of the company at the King's Theatre was to appear last even-
ing at the above establishment had excited considerable curio-
sity. Rumour was busy on the occasion, and it became at
length a matter of certainty that the speculation was intended
as a benefit for M. Laporte, to reimburse him for the heavy
losses which he has sustained in his theatrical speculations.
A considerable crowd assembled at the doors, chiefly attracted
by the names in the affiche of the charming Grisi and the
graceful Tagliorii, the Sylphide par excellence. But neither
the brilliant tones of the Italian cantratrice nor the rapid bounds
of the French danseuse were destined to be heard or witnessed
on the boards of Covent-Garden. The cries of "Chars:: La
Porte" were responded to by the echoes of the piazzas, and
the strength of the barriers proved a sufficient hindrance to the
indignant blows.. applied by the company at the entrances.
At length the multitude dispersed en desespoir, and "peace
reigned in Israel," the discomfited visitors consoling them-
selves by resorting to the English Opera-house, which reaped
the benefit of the disappointment of the beneficiaire. Indispo-
sition of the principal performers was the ground alleged for
the performances not taking place.

LYCEUM AN4-,ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.

The veteran Morton?*is indefatigable. His fancy is as fresh
as in the olden time ; 'abd if there should be any doubt of the
fact, we would advise our readers to have a look at The
Dragon, who is now exhibiting his antics at the Lyceum. Thig
little interlude, for it is only in one act, is a right pleasant
skittish affair, which gives you no time to think, but plenty of
opportunity to laugh. A crowded audience last night indulged
in the propensity to their heart's content, and many more will,
no doubt, follow the example. The plot runs somewhat
thus :—Brigadier Clarendon (F. Matthews), a warrior un peu
passe, has a young wife (Mrs. Waylett), to whom he is much
attached. Although he thinks her virtue, like crystal, with-
out a speck, yet the hints of Sukey (Mrs. Keeley), the maid
of Mrs. Clarendon, and the betrothed of Rolly (Keeley), a
jealous drummer, touching the attention of Sir George Kid-
glove (Hemmings) towards his lady, induce the Brigadier to
employ the drummer, whose life he had saved in battle, as the
" dragon of the Hesperian fruit." Mrs. Clarencha is in-
formed by Sukey of the act of her husband, and turns the
tables, by making sad havoc with the doomed drummer. The
equivoques which arise from the vehement attachment shown
by the lady to poor Rolly are of infinite drollery. Of course
all things are satisfactorily explained at last. The acting was
excellent. Morton has taken a good measure of Keeley, who
hit off with nicety the points of his character. Mrs. Keeley
was admirable in the soubrette. Her imitation of her mistress's
singing was in capital style, it was so truly servantijied. The
Dragon was announced to appear again amidst great plaudits
and very trifling hissing. The grand opera of Nuudahad pre-
ceded the new farcetta.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Mr. Mathews was " At Home" for the season for
the first time last night. The theatre was numerously
attended, though not crowded, and he was received
with marked favour. He appeared in excellent spirits,
and, notwithstanding he announced that he was born
in 1776, there was nothing in his performances indi-
cative of a man verging on sixty years of age. The
entertainments presented no novelty, but consisted of
a series of old acquaintances, which were cordially
welcomed frem their popularity of old. The narra-
tive portion of the Comic Annual comprises The
Youthful Days of Mr. Mathews, and the dramatic
part pictured The Polly Packet. Most of the lovers
of laughter, and of those who seek to appreciate
character through dramatic representations, are familiar
with both the one and the other ; and, therefore,. to
enter upon anything like a detail of their construction
would be, indeed, to repeat a thrice-told tale. The
most triumphant of the sketches was still " the old
Scotch lady's leetle anecdote," which was as nicely
finished and as admirably characteristic as ever. The
songs also were in high favour. The curtain did not
finally fall till half-past eleven.

APPEALS.

His LORDSHIP, at the rising of the Court, said
that he had made the arrangement which he had
lately mentioned relative to the hearing of appeals
at the House of Lords. He had already made
great progress in the Scotch appeals, and with the
assistance of the Lord Chief Justice, now Deputy
Speaker of the House of Lords, who would devote
the remainder of the vacation to them, he hoped
there would be a sufficient clearance of these ap-
peals to enable him to carry into execution his plan
of having the gentlemen of the Court of Chancery
assembled under one roof at Westminster Hall,
and consequently, at the commencement of Term,
to proceed with the English and Irish appeals.
The House of Lords had acceded to his plan, and
he should at present endeavour to prevent all
but Scotch appeals or writs of error from the Court
of Exchequer from being taken at the House of
Lords.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Thomas Ashman, the driver of the
cabriolet No. 901, was charged with stealing a
travelling coat and cap, the property of a gentleman
named Gunning, who had just arrived in London by
a Bristol coach.

Mr. Gunning alighted from the coach about eight
o'clock yesterday morning at the corner of Farring-
don-street and Ludgate-hill, and called a cab off the
rank. He immediately threw in his coat across the
apron and seat, and asked the driver what he would
charge to carry him to St. Clement's Churchyard.
The man first required 35., and then 25., but he
thought both demands were so dishonest that he
would not employ him at all. He accordingly got
into the next cab, and had proceeded a very few
yards up Fleet-street when he remembered he had
left his coat in the other cab. He returned instantly,
but the fellow had already disappeared. A lad,
however, came up to him and mentioned to him that
the cabman had got his coat, and had galloped off
towards Holborn. He was sure the prisoner was
the driver of the cab.—The prisoner was committed._

LORD PORTARLINGTON V. SOUTHEY.

This was a motion to dissolve an injunction
granted by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, re-
straining the defendants from proceeding at law
against the plaintiff. The principal facts of the
case were as follow :—Lord Portarlington gave a
bond of 1,0001. in consideration of a gambling debt
to a Mr. Aldridge, who conveyed it to a Mr.
Brooks, a retail wine-merchant, and who, wishing
to obtain a loan, gave it as security to Messrs.
Southey, wholesale wine-merchants, for an advance
of 7001. and 3001. worth of wine. The defendants
endeavoured to obtain from the plaintiff the pay-
ment of the debt for which the bond was security ;
but this demand was refused, the plaintiff alleging
that the defendants had purchased it for a valuable
consideration, with full notice of the nature of the
debt. Legal proceedings had been instituted
against the plaintiff, and his honour had granted an
injunction, restraining the defendants from proceeding
at law. The present was a motion to dissolve that
injunction.
Mr. ROLFA and Mr. SIDEBOTTOM were heard in
support of the motion.
The SOLIICTOR-GENERAL was heard against it.
His LORDSHIP postponed the further hearing of
the arguments to to-morrow (this day).

LCNDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1834.

We published, yesterday afternoon, in a second
edition of The Sun, an account (received by
express) of some disturbances that had unex-
pectedly broken out at Brussels. The affair
was got up in all probability by the agents
of Holland, in consequence of the stud,
belonging to the Prince of ORANGE, being
ordered for sale. Eventually, however, tran-
quillity was restored. The following is the
official account of the matter received this

KING'S THEATRE.

The Italian Opera last night achieved one of the
most brilliant triumphs which it has obtained in this
country for many years. Rossini's Gazza Ladra, re-
garded by so many excellent judges as his best work,
was given in a style, taking the performance as a
whole, very decidedly superior to any other represen-
tation of the opera upon the same boards. The fol-
lowing was the cast:--.

Giannetto .
Fernando
Gottardo
Ninetta

Signor Rubini.
Signor Tamburini.
Signor Zuchelli.
•••• Signora Giuti t a Grisi

The reputations of the three male singers are suffi-
ciently known here to render it almost superfluous to
add that the three parts have never before combined
such eminent talents in one representation. But the
Ninetta was a debutante; and although fame-had been
loud in her praise through the ordinary channels, that
is so much a matter of course, arising either from the
partiality or the management of friends, that there are
few who place much reliance upon it. In the present
case, however, we are in the unusual and agreeable
position of having to state that the effect produced by
this young cantatrice upon the whole audience, and
certainly upon none more than ourselves. was very far
beyond any expectation which had been previously
excited. Her part in the canone, Oh nume benefice,
was given in a spirit quite on a level with the two
accomplished artists who were associated with her, and
its perfect execution twice drew down the most rap-
turous applause. In all the fine music of the latter
end of the act Signora Grisi continued to gain in the
estimation of the audience, and her duet in the open-
ing of the second with Giannetto was encored with an
enthusiasm rarely exhibited by the audience of the
King's Theatre. From this point to the end of the
opera all she did, but especially the beautiful air Deh
to regyi, where she kneels in front of the church, was
so perfectly triumphant that we cannot specify parti-
cular parts as possessing more merit than the rest.
Signora Grisi's voice is a genuine Italian soprano. It
is all pure from the chest, remarkably equal, brilliant
in tone, luxuriant in its flexibility and compass, and
combining apparently any extent of power which the
singer chooses to exert, with a softness so delicate and
exquisite that the ear strains to catch its minutest
vibration. After the fall of the curtain the singem
have named came forward, and were received with the
most marked expressions of approval.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. Lawson, the Clerk of the Peace, had re-
ceived from the Secretary of State a copy of a bill
that had been introduced into Parliament to render
more effectual the acts of sth and 6th George IV.,
relative to weights and measures. It was stated in
the bill that notwithstanding the provisions of the
acts, many weights and measures were made of dif-
ferent form and shape than the models prescribed by
the law, and it was therefore proposed in the bill
that, from the time of its passing into a law, any
person using weights or measures not in conformity
with that law should forfeit the sum of Si., and the
magistrates were to have no power to reduce tjiat
fine.—(" Oh, oh !") The bill also provided that the
imperial standard should be kept in every market
town ; and if there were no funds in such market
town for procuring the weights and measures, they
were to be provided by the county.
Mr. CRAWFORD—And I suppose it will be ne-
cessary to appoint somebody in every market town
to take care of them.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Lawson—Yes, and a house to keep them in.
Mr. CRAWFORD—And an assistant with a salary,
to keep them clean.

Mr: Lawson read another clause in the proposed
bill, which declared the Winchester measure ille-
gal, and imposed a fine of five pounds, and not less
than 405., on persons who bought and sold by that
measure.

Mr. DENISON understood that the bill had been
introduced by Lord Ebrington. It concerned the
country at large, and he therefore recommended that
the committee appointed to watch the progress of
the Lord Chancellor's bill should also be instructed
to watch the progress of this bill.
The names of only five prisoners appear in the
calendar for trial, and the offences with which they
are charged are of a very trifling nature.

SARDANAPALUS.

The part of Myrrha will at last be played by Miss
E. Tree, owing to the receipt of the following letter
this morning from Paris :

" Paris, Sunday Afternoon.

" Sra—Overwhelmed by a medley of mortifications, and
with a spirit absolutely prostrated from a disappointment of its
fondest wish, it is my irksome yet in •vitable duty to address you.
" On the morning of Friday last, I apprised you (through a
friend's medium) that my indisposition had so far abated, as to
permit the commencement of my journey with the ensu ng day.
" Either I had deceived myself as to the degree of my
convalescence at that moment, or some hours afterwards I
had incurred a new attack, through the fatiguing pro-
cess of parking my dresses (in an ante-room where I
thoughtlessly was exposed to different draugl.ts of air).
By some fatality or other my illness returned with so
sudden an access of violence, that I was forced to send for
medical aid during the night. Departure at the hour proposed
became impossible, still I admitted the delusion of hope up to
the present moment, the latest to which I dared delay. I feel
too feeble to cross the chamber without support, and the state of
my throat will only allow me to swallow liquids. My medical
friend assures me it must be many days, perhaps a fortnight,
ere my strength can be sufficiently recruited to encounter the
liabilities of my long journey. Under such a conviction I dare
not ask, nor even wish, that you should adhere to your
proposals with me, or delay the production of Sardanapalus
another day on my account. I cannot explain by language
the feelings which distress me. I have already passed the Ru-
bicon of my voluntary retirement, and presented my name once
more upon the broad field of public 1 fe. Yet now, at the very
instant when trumpets flourish and banners are unfurled, I
seem to fly ingloriously from the fight my rashness had in.
yoked! But it is my destiny—and my cross.grained planet
is in the ascendant now May the evil beam exhaust its
malice upon me, and leave the theatre untouched in its ca.
price? Yes, let me hope—devoutly hope, the delay which
has already occurred may in no respect prove prejudicial to
your interests. lam too weak to write more. May the suc-
cess of the tragedy be everything you can desire. Many names
of talent will doubtless be enrolled amidst its dramatis persons',
but not one upon which you might have relied for zeal, (what.
ever were the talent) more steadfastly than on that of,
Sir, your deeply afflicted, but most grateful servant,

CHARLOTTE MARDYN.

P.S.—So soon as I can possibly venture into a carriage, I
shall remove to my country house, near Fontainbleau, for a
change of air.

PUBLIC DEBT ; PRICES OF FOREIGN

FUNDS AND WHEAT.

From the account of the funded and unfunded
debt of the United Kingdom, and the charges
thereon, printed by order of the House of Com-
mons, it appears that since 1816 the funded
debt has been decreased 64,653,0571., and that
the unredeemed debt is now 751,658,8831. The
charge of the unfunded debt has been reduced
during the same period 2,676,0911., and remains
27,782,1161. The unfunded debt (in exchequer
bills) has been decreased since 1815 from
57,941,700/. to 27,906,9004, and the charge
being for the interest thereon from 2,256,707/.
to 779,7691. From the same paper it appears
that the average price of 3 per cents. in 1816
was 581; 13s. 9d. ; in 1834, 87/. 1 ls. 3d.
The price of wheat in 1815 was 635. Bd. per
quarter ; and in 1833, 525. 11d. per quarter.
The average price of wheat for the 14 years,
ending in 1833, was' 58s. 10d., the highest
price being 665. 4d., the lowest 435. 3d. The
highest price of 3 per cents. 94/. 3s. 6d., the
lowest 581. 13s. 9d.
