FITZROY.

Last night at the Fitzroy Theatre the holiday people
were regaled with a new entertainment, which had been
announced with a loud "note of preparation." It is
designed (as its name, Wagstavus, indicates) for a wag-
gish parody upon the opera of Gustavus. In a production
of this kind, and destined for the latitude of the Fitzroy,
We must not look for much refined wit; but had there
.been more of novelty and raciness in the jokes, the piece
would have been less dependent for success upon the pan-
tomimic drollery of the actors. hi this respect Oxberry
and Meadows exerted themselves with good effect. The
latter, in his mock-heroic effusions, gave some fair imita-
tions of Edmund Kean. This piece was
.followed by an
amusing trifle, entitled Pay for Peeping. The plot
develops a few illustrations of that very old, and we believe
incurable, foible of the fair sex---uriosity. The dialogue
is in many places sprightly, and some of the situations
ludicrous.

SADLER'S WELLS.
This favourite place of public amusement has been
celebrated both for the variety and excellence of its pan-
tomimes for more than a century past ; and certainly, if
public approbation may be regarded as the test of merit,
the one produced last night will sustain its reputation.
This new pantomime is founded on the well-known and
popular nursery tale, called Harlequin and Little Goody
Two Shoes ; or, The Elfin.. Sprite and the Enchanted
Hare. The second piece was entitled, The Murder on
the Cliff; or, The Smuggler's Dogs, which was also
favourably received ; as was also the last, called Brazilian
Jack ; or, the Life of an Ape. The acting, in several
instances, was deserving of commendation, though very
unequal. The house was full in every part. The pit and
gallery were crowded to suffocation.

article is supplied more freely ; but, in consequence of the
holydays, there are no public sales announced for this day,

The market for the East India Foreign descriptions
continues still dull ; and the Continental Markets far the
latter are also flat. There is no variation in the Refined
qualities,
COFFEE,—In British Plaatation the decline, which has
so lately taken place, has not caused any increase in the
Dade for this article ; and for Foreign Coffee there is also
a heavy market, the letters from Holland and Hamburg
bringing information that the markets were very dull at
these places.
TEA.—The deliveries are not so great as they were.
The amount last week was 405,55.91b5. The quotations
remain firm.

Rum.—For home consumption the delivery is on the
increase, with lower prices than on this day week, From
the British Colonies still come in freely.

HOPS.-From the plantations the accounts this morning
are not quite so good, as they mention a slight increase of
the fly. The old estimate of duty has declined from

VICTORIA.

The Whitsun novelty at this theatre was, as the play-
bills entitle it, "An original, domestic, historical, comical
drama," by the author of Gioranni in London, and
called The Court of Queen Anne, or The Prince and
the Breeches Maker: Of the merits of the piece we are
not in a position to speak, as: from the beginning to the
end of the performance thenoise through the house (which
was densely crowded), made it a complete pantomime.
•There are many effective situations which, if well sus-
tained by the colloquy, must make The Court of Queen
Anne popular.

RAILWAY EXHIBITION.

TIHE GRAND EXHIBITION just opened
at the BAZAAR, BAKER-STREET, PORT-
MAN-SQUARE, representing by Mechanical and Pic-
torial display that great Wonder of Art and Science, the
MANCHESTER and LIVERPOOL RAILWAY, has
been viewed with the utmost satisfaction by great numbers
of the Nobility and Gentry. The Exhibition is in a hand-
some Theatre built for the occasion, which has been many
months in preparation, and neither pains nor expense
spared to make it as perfect a representation as can be ef-
fected in the limited space of a Theatre. To see the
whole occupies about half an hour, but it is immaterial at
what time persons enter, for as soon as the view is com-
pleted it recommences. The Pictorial part occupies seve-
ral thousand square feet of canvass, and the Mechanical
part displays a great variety of Carriages accurately copied
from those on the Railway, and enable the visitants to
form a very correct idea of this wonderful work.

APPREHENSION OF MONEY MAKERS.

We have this week to report another capture of coiners
with all the apparatus for the manufacture of base money,
and as this was the only establishment in which counter-
feited shillings were made on the new principle, by casting
in moulds, and afterwards covered with sheet silver, great
credit is due to the parties through whose persevering exer-
tions the police were enabled to effect a caption and seizure.
In consequence of information having been forwarded to
the Mint, a search-warrant was placed in the hands of
Mr. Redfern, so far back as the 14th of June, for the
apprehension of the parties therein concerned, charged with
the above offence. Accordingly, on Friday afternoon last,
about three o'clock, it having been previously ascertained that
the proper time had arrived for a successful search, Mr.
Redfern, with Palmer,the police-officer, proceeded into the
Garrison-lane, to a house standing alone in a garden, occu
pied by a man and his wife, named Thomas and Mary Hart.
On the approach of the officer they distinctly heard one or
more persons run up stairs ; upon which Palmer imme-
diately forced open the door, which was not only locked
but had a chain bolt attached to it. On entering the
kitchen they found a few counterfeit shillings, some of which
were hot, as if having been just cast, a spoon, dish, broken
metal, and other materials, all more or less warm, which
soon convinced the officers that the search warrant had not
been granted in vain. Palmer immediately went up
stairs, where he found Hart and his wife ; he there
picked up two counterfeit shillings, and perceiving
that the woman had something in her hand which
she wished to conceal, he endeavoured to wrest it from
her, and in the mean time the man proceeded to a
vice in the room, and there attempted to break a mould
of plaster of Paris which had been used for casting the shil-
lings.—While seizing the man, he heard the woman drop
something behind her, which he afterwards ascertained to
be some counterfeit shillings ; on proceeding further with
the search, they found a quantity of silver shell for covering
the coin, a soldering iron, a quantity of lead, plaster of Paris
moulds, clocks, &c. under the bed ; and, upon a further
search, a leathern bag containing sovereigns, a banker's
bill for 101., and other monies, to the amount of about .501.,
also a rent book, from which it appeared that the party had
not occupied the house more than a fortnight. The two
Parties, with all the apparatus, and good and counterfeit
coin, were then conveyed to the prison in Moor-street.—

DREADFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.

We present our readers with a statement of the melan-
choly case of hydrophobia which has naturally excited so
much dread and alarm in Leamington and its vicinity dur-
ing the past week : the relation of so distressing, and hi-
therto so fatal a disease, cannot but be highly interesting
to all. The subject of this case was a young man of the
name of Ledbrooke, aged twenty, assistant to W. Edwards,
butcher, Regent-street, who, six weeks ago, was bitten by a
dog belonging to W. Butler, of Springfield-street. The ani-
mal had previously bitten his master and two children. Led-
brooke took no precaution for two clays after the infliction
of the injury. It was in consequence of a general cry that
the dog was mad, that he applied to Mr. Jones, surgeon,
who immediately excised the wound, and, to ensure the
greater security of the patient, caustic was intro-
duced to the part, which caused copious inflammation,
and then it soon healed. During the interval it was evi-
dent that he inwardly felt a dread of the consequences that
might ensue from the bite, for when any of his neighbours
asked him how he felt, he invariably evinced a disposition
to evade the answer. Last Sunday morning he went to
Emscote to visit some of his friends ; on his return home
to Regent-street, he felt considerable numbness and pain
in the head and arm of the affected side ; in the evening
of that day, about five o'clock, he experienced great con-
striction about the throat, uneasiness in the region of the
stomach, general restlessness, and considerable fever. At
this time Dr. Jephson and Mr. Jones were called in,
who immediately made use of bleeding, anodynes, &c.,
without any effect. His disease increased from this
time to the time of his death, having those peculiar
symptoms of hydrophobia more and more developed—
such as horror on the approach of strangers, spas-
modic actions of the throat and stomach, dread of water,
&c. &c. In this state he continued until twelve o'clock on
Monday, when he suddenly expired. Respecting the
treatment of this unfortunate case, we would remark that
through the combined exertions of the medical men, no-
thing that could in any way afford the slightest chance of
allaying the symptoms, or that the experience of others
had suggested, were omitted. The post nzortcm examina-
tion took place at the Hospital late in the evening on
Monday. It was conducted in the presence of several of
the medical men of the town and neighbourhood. The
following appearances were exhibited :—Most extreme in-
flammation of the lower part of the brain and upper portion
of the spinal marrow, effusion of blood under the vertebral
canal, inflammation of the gullet, trachea, and root of the
tongue.—Warwick Advertiser.

npftitnr; and not as a reformer,
tin; mail %.ho urz4ed a whole nation onwards in the
most important of all steps in the knowledge of truth ;
who led it from. an absurd and degrading idolatry,
from a priestly slavery which compromised morality
and opened a market for the redemption of every vice
by expiations, to the knowledge of an omnipotent, om-
nipresent, and supremely good B. einff—of the true
God, in short ; for since his attributes are the same,
and he is acknowledged the sole object of worship, the
God of the Mussulmans is the God of the Christians.
The profession of faith which Mohammed taught to
his disciples, and which has been preserved unaltered
to this day, . is, that there is but one God, and
that Mohammed is his prophet. Was he an im-
postor because he called himself a prophet ?
Even on this head, a melancholy experience of human
weakness—of that mixture of enthusiasm and artifice
which in all- ages has characterised leaders of sects,
and which we might perhaps find in our own time,
and at no great distance from us, in men whose per-
suasion is undoubtedly sincere, and whose zeal
ardent, yet who assert or insinuate a claim to super-
natural gifts which they do not possesi—ought to teach
us indulgence. An intense persuasion is easily con-
founded with an internal revelation ; the dreams of an
excited imagination become sensible appearances; faith
in a future event seems to us like a prophecy ; we
hesitate to remove an error which has arisen spontaneously
within the mind of a true believer, when we think it favourable
to his salvation ; after sparing his allusions, the next thing is
to encourage them, and thus we arrive at pious frauds, which
we fancy justified by their end, and by their effect. We easily
persuade ourselves of what we have persuaded others ; and we
believe in ourselves when those we love believe in us. Mo-
hammed never pi etended to the gift of miracles ; we need not
go far to find preachers of our own days, who have founded no
empires and yet are not so modest.—Sismondi's Empire.

engaged in defrauding the public by this flattering artifice,
was tried on an indietrkent for the offence.
On the 4th of June, 'as a young woman named Ross, the
prosecutrix in this case, was walking along Blackfriars-road,
she observed the prisoner stoop down and pick up a small
package. Upon his obtaining possession of it he assumed
an air of concealment, and walked on at a quicker rate
than he did previously. Having proceeded along for some
distance he turned round to the prosecutrix, who was a
short distance in the rear, and, addressing her, said that he
had picked up a prize. He then opened a small paper
parcel and exhibited a pair of splendid-looking earrings,
and likewise produced a bill of parcels, in which the article
was set down to the purchaser at .5/. 18s. 6d. He then
said that he did not want such expensive jewellery for any
member of his family, and strongly recommended the ear-
rings to Miss Ross, urging her to become a purchaser, and
flattering her vanity by a declaration that he was convinced
the wearer of them must look captivating. The prosecutrit
liked the appearance of the earrings, and said that she should
like to buy them if she had money enough, but she was afraid
that she had not. " How much have you ?" said the pri-
soner, " Only 55." answered Miss Ross. " Oh! that will
never do," said the prisoner, shaking his head, " You must
at least give me 21. for an article that you see yourself is
valued at .5/. IBs. 6d. in the bill of parcels." While the
krgaining was going forward a man walked up to the pri-
soner, and offered him his price for the car-rings ; but the
latter declined having any transactions with the pretended
stranger, and at length consented to take the money prose-
cutrix offered for them in the first instance. Unluckily,
however, for the prisoner he was closely watched during the
whole of the above proceeding by policeman Andrews, of
the M division, who knew him to be a notorious " ring-
dropper," and to have been in the habit of practising the
imposition, especially upon the female portion of the com-
munity. The policeman, on witnessing what had happened,
immediately went up and took the prisoner into custody.
The intrinsic value of the earrings was found not to
exceed 6d.

The CHAIRMAN should put the law into full force on
this occasion, and transport the prisoner for seven years, as
an example to other ring-droppers with which this great
City abounded.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1834.

In our Second Edition, yesterday, we gave
the following :
" We have heard it stated, on what may be
termed very good authority, that besides the
resignations of Mr. STANLEY and Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, those of the Duke of RICHMOND
and the Earl of RIPON have since taken place.
These four constitute all the changes yet
known ; but it is confidently stated that three
of the vacancies have been promptly filled up,
as follows :

" The Earl of DURHAM succeeds the Duke
of RICHMOND in the Post-office.
".Lord MULGRAVE succeeds Sir JAMES
GRAHAM at the Admiralty ; and
"The Hon. J. ABERCROMBIE succeeds Mr.
STANLEY as Secretary for the Colonies. This
will necessarily occasion another new Election
for Edinburgh.
" There is no successor yet named to the Earl
of RIPON. Mr. SPRING RICE is mentioned
as likely to join the Cabinet, but nothing cer-
tain is known."

Up to the period at which we now write
(three o'clock), nothing further is definitively
known, with the exception of the four resigna-
tions, though the town is inundated with a va-
riety of reports.

Among these the most prevalent is, that
Mr. SPRING RICE and Mr. ELLICE are to
join the Cabinit, as well as Lord MULGRAVE.
But Lord DURHAM is not mentioned with the
same confidence as- yesterday—neither is Mr.
ABERCROMBIE.

The real difficulty is not in selecting good
and proper men to join a Reforming Ministry,
but in securing their return to Parliament,
in consequence of the re-action in public feeling,
owing in a great measure to the crooked, hesitat-
ing, and crab-like movements of the Govern-
ment, for some time back, in their general policy,
foreign as well as domestic. The best well-
wishers of Lord GREY'S administration,
cannot honestly pretend to say that liberal
measures have been brought forward in a liberal
Manner, so as to command that success which
some of thein deserved. Every thing was so
framed that it might please or conciliate the
House of Lords—not satisfy the people. Now
this Was not the way for a reforming ministry
to : deal with a reformed Parliament, and
hence the difficulty of fixing on men whose
principle's are undoubted, but whose return is
problematical. The result of the late elec-
tions is now felt in all its force. As each
election ran counter to the wish of the
government, it was considered merely as
a hint that things were not going on
as the constituent body expected, but now
the cffect of all these is felt with accu-
ectYepqrsibility, not only by the
sksOi' iita e Ministry, but by those
A!, 9

their course must be straightforward and clear.
No -half measures will answer any great and
decisive end, and if Ministers hope to suc-
ceed, their measures must be such as the majority
of the people—not the House of Lords—will
support. The great interests of the people
are paramount to those of any party ; and any
ministry that hopes to stand, must consult these
and these alone.

Among the parties likely to join the Minis-
try, with a certainty of being returned, we have
heard the names of Mr. TENNYSON, Sir H.
PANRELL, Mr. ABERCROMBIE,LOrdEBRING-
TON, Mr. ROBINSON, &c., mentioned; but
no doubt Lord GREY will make a proper se-
lection. We are certain, to give strength to
his Government, he could not select more
worthy and liberal men.
The general opinion seems to be, that the
session ought to be cut short, in order to give
the government more time to strengthen itself,
with men likely to consolidate the public con-
fidence in the integrity and capability
of the Administration, to carry those
measures best calculated to serve the ge-
neral interests of the country. Such a
consummation is unattainable in the short
period now before them. It were better to pro-
rogue Parliament after passing some of the
more indispensable measures now before it, and
to re-assemble in October or November to legis-
late on those questions of graver importance
which may be delayed but cannot be eventually
put off.

DEATH OF MR. CHARLES WESLEY.—
This event took place on Friday last. at his house in
the Edgware-road, and until within ten days of his
death he played many of the pieces and choruses of
the immortal Handel, which, from his very retentive
memory, he did from recollection; aimdf,anyppecryiahinnagopfsoh,rtetillearidne
was scarcely a piece that Handel wrote with which he.
was unacquainted. Even on his death-bed Mr. Wes-
ley would say, " I must go down and amuse myself
withnu a i i
ymy hummingo rg a n , "
Hoar,nd‘e7,smmuusstich,aavned
my bedroom." That being impossible, he was conti-
nually
pianoforte before him, worked his fingers on his
bedclothes as though he were playing on the instru--
ment,.and that even within two days of his decease.
SUGAR TONGS.---A backwoodsman who
had never seen a pair of sugar-tongs, being invited to a
tea-party, requested a person, who unhappily was
seated near him, to give him some information respect-
ing its use. "Itis a very ingenious instrument," said
the cruel wag, " which has been lately invented for
the purpose of blowing the nose! 1 It is now in ge-
neral use in genteel society ; and it is expected that
the disgusting custom of using the fingers will soon be
altogether. abolished." The sugar-dish was handed
round ; the unfortunate " lion" seized the tongs, and
the polite part of the assembly were scandalised at the
outre application of the instrument, and the tremen-
dous explosion which followed.—American Paper.

LITtRATI/AE:

SIR R. PEEL'S SPEECH ON REPEAL
London, 1,834.
We are glad in see this speech republished.
It is worthy of the better days of English elo-
quence, when Grey, Fox, Pitt, Sheridan, and
daririirigJ relighted and instincted the House of.
Commons. Irvlthin the last two or three years
Sir R. Peel has taken a predigithis stride as an
orators He was al*ay§ a skilful debater, but
he has now shown himself something better.
The peroration of the speech before us is the
noblest oratorical effort Sir Robert Peel has
yet ventured to make. The language is a little
too gfaiidiloqiient, perhaps, but the stihjeet
bears it out.

JAMIESON'S HISTORY OF FRANCE.
London, 1834.

As this is the fourth edition of Ms. Jamie-
son's History of Vrance, we have little need to
say more.of it than that it de.serves the success
it has met with. It is merely an elementary
book, intended for the use of schools, and is
drawn up with much tact and perspicuity. On
the subject of the French Revolution, Mrs.
Jamieson expatiates more fully than on any
other portion of her history.

REVISING BARRISTERS.

Mr. TOOKE moved that there be laid before the house
the substance of the observations communicated to govern-
ment by the several revising barristers, under the English
Reform Act, containing the result of their experience in
the performance of their duty, and their suggestions for
improving the working details of that act.
The motion having been put by the SPEAKER,
Lord ALTHORP said, that these communications were
made to government as private communications, and it
would be establishing a bad precedent, he thought, to lay
them on the table of the house. The effect of such a
course would be to deprive government of the advantage
of receiving confidential communications to assist them in
their deliberations.

Mr. AGLION—R y wished the information was granted.
Mr. HUTT desired to ask the noble lord, whether his
Majesty's government intended to introduce, this session,
any measure for the amendment of the Reform Act ?
Lord ALTHORP was understood to reply in the affir-
mative.__

S thought that the motion had much better
be withdrawn.
WhHmAdwnE.

Mr. TOOKE then obtained leave to withdraw his
motion, which he did.
Mr. MAXWELL, after some observations respecting
the distressed state of the hand-loom weavers, in Glasgow,
moved for a select committee toinquire into their condition.
Mr. JAMES seconded the motion.

Mr. POULETT THOMSON assured the house that
none could feel a greater regret for the situation of the
poor people than he did ; but he thought it would be ex-
tremely unwise and improper to consent to the appoint-
ment of a committee. It would be only leading to hopes
on their part which could not be realized. The effect of
the motion of the hon. member would also be the forma-
tion of local Boards of Trade, which would be most inju-
rious. But besides these objections to the motion, the late
period of the session constituted another. Before the ne-
cessary witnesses could be got up from Glasgow, and the
committee be ready to proceed with the inquiry, the ses-
sion would be so far over' that inquiry could only be just
commenced. If it were early in the session, he thought it
ould have been desirable to take up the subject, in con-
