THE LATE MR. ELLISTON.

The lovers of the drama, together with all the friends
of the late Mr. Elliston, will he gratified to learn that a
handsome marble tablet has been erected to that gentle-
man's memory in the chancel of St. John's Church, Wa-
terloo-road, on the south side of the altar. The following
appropriate and elegant inscription is from the pen of his
son-in-law, Nicholas Torre, Esq.:—

MUSICAL.

The Norwich Musical Festival has been very successful.
The total receipts, for tickets only, amounted to about
4,5701., exclusively of liberal donations from several
persons.

The Liverpool Musical Festival commenced this day,
and will last until Friday.
Propos.da were made to Mr. Braham, by the managers
of the Norwich and Liverpool theatres to perform at those
towns during the Festivals, which he, with a very prop,
feeling, declined.

At a meeting of the committee for conducting the Car-
diff Eisteddvod, held on Thursday last, it was reported
that four hundred pounds have been already sui,scribed
towards the expenses, and that the Honcrary Secretaries
were daily receiving assurances of support from the princi-
pal families in the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth.
WORCESTER, SEPT. 28.—The festivities of the week
closed last night with a grand ball at V e College Hall, at
which upwards of eight hundred of the best families for
miles round were present. Weippert and his excellent
band were in attendance, and performed in exquisite style.
The utmost hospitality has been maintained throughout the
week at the Palace of our esteemed Diocesan, and also by
the Bishop of Rochester. We understand the aggregate
receipts of the meeting will be upwards of five thousand
pounds.

NO. 2._ANTWERF.

On policies of marine insurance at Antwerp there are
no other expenses than those of brokerage, as the insur-
ance must be made by law through a sworn broker, which
are paid at the rate of 8 per cent., when the prime of in-
surance is above 1 per cent., and at the rate of 10 per
cent. whenever the prime is below the 1 per cent. The
cost of the policy of insurance is lf. 65 cents. Netherland
money for the stamp, which never varies; and when it is
necessary (in ease of discussion between the parties) to
have it registered at the Stamp-office, the cost of registra•
tion amounts to from lf. to 3f. There exists no stamp
or municipal tax on the same.
DE HOCHEPIED LARPENT, Consul.
Antwerp, June 13.

No. 3. ....A3ISTERDA

The only duty to which marine insurances are subjected
at Amsterdam is a Government stamp of 60 cents., with
38 per cent. additional thereon, making together ❑car 83
cent., or about ls. sd. sterling. A printed policy, in,
eluding the stamp, therefore, costs no more than If. 40c.,
or about 2s. 4d., and is valid for all marine insurances,
without limitation of their amount.

PARIS, MARCH 12.—The Caravane corvette Dumas
and the Comet brig, Ciptan Dasignv, from Navarin,
ar-
tived at Toulon en the 7,11. The latter brought the news
of the landing of King Orho, at N,poli, and his proclama-
tion to the Greek nation. It wa• on the 6th of F.hruary
thit he made his solemn entry in Napoli. There were six-
teen Enrol:win men-of-war in the road, viz., 7 French, 5
English, 3 Rusai tn, and 1 Sicil an. Each of the ships of
war fired a salute of 21 gun., when the King entered the
roads. At noon, on the 6th, his Majesty landed from the
Madagascar, and was followed by the admirals of the
three Powers, with their suites. As soon as he landed,
all the men•of-war fired a salute of 21 guns, and the
crews who manned the yards saluted him with laud cheer..
On the Bth the King visited the three admirals ; on the
9,h he reviewed the troop.; and on the 10th visited the
Greek veosels.

made by M Van Nes tot an ad less to bi• NI. j.sty, repre-
senting ;hat it is the opinion of the States-G-ner•al, that
the discussion on the budget would be much facilitatela
and sitoplifi.d, if the sev rid chapters of which it is coin-
posed, instead of bring all inc.uded in one project of law,
were kept quite distinct, a separate project b,ing as,ignea

The motion of M. Nas was ordered to be printed, and
referred to the sections for ex anination.
MARCH 12.—M. Drdel, lately our Minister Plenipoten-
thsry from his Majesty to the Gaut of Madrid, se, out
yesterday from the Htgue for Landon. Baron Van Zuylen
is expected iu a few days.
We hear that the men belonging to the Schuttery, not
in actual service, and belonging to the service, are not to

neither are thought necessary at prtsent.
We hear th it a willingness has been expressed in Lon-
don to resume the negotiations with the successor of
Baron Van N)evelt.
LILLO, MARCH 9.—Some!hing occurred last night
which made us suppose that the Belgians had some per.
Minus intention.whatever it may have be• nit fatted. A
number of them lay in ambush at ti.e North &ince, whence
they seemed to intend to attack our posts. They we e dis
covered, and fired some musket-shot, and then r, treated
to a place near the date, from which they were driven
by
us some cannon shot. The d4rkness of the night hindered
seeing what loss they sustained. We bad no-

between nine and ten o'clock. Alas, for the va-
nity of human wishes The small speech-makers
of the House were too cunning for them. All,
residing within a moderate distance, had run
home for their petitions, and they shortly returned
in shoals, some on foot, with a simple pocket full,
others in cabs almost ready to break down under
the ponderous weight of parchment they con-
tained, and others with messengers at their heels
sinking under a similar burden. By a little
after ten o'clock the seats of the House and the
laps of Members were covered in a way to make
one think it had been raining petitions ; and
for the next two hours, judging by the discreet
brevity of the reports, it would appear that the
crackling of sheepskins prevented the cackling
upon them being heard.

French papers contain the proclamation of
OTHO the First to the Greeks, upon his arrival
at Napoli. This document, which deals largely
in generalities, contains scarcely one feature
worthy of comment.

We perceive by the French papers, that the
two men (BENOIT and BERGERON), charged
with being parties to the pistol plot against the
KING'S life, executed on the 19th of Nov. last,
were put upon their trial on the 11th instant-
BENOIT, a physician, at Chauny, 28 years of
age, is charged with facilitating the execution of
the plot. BERGERON, an usher in a school, 21
years of age, is the party accused of having made
the attempt on the King's life. The trial was
not finished on Monday, but there appeared
every probability of the prisoners being acquitted.
None of the witnesses could positively identify
them. One very curious circumstance was
stated in the course of the trial. It was by
Colonel RAFE of the staff of the National
Guards, who made the following statement :

" He said that be was looking at the time the pistol was
fired towards the group when the shot came. He imme-
diately rode up, and formed a line to prevent the criminal
from escaping. He received the pistol taken up by the
Sergent de Ville, but did not see who fired the shot.

" The President inquired why he beieved that the shot
was fired at the King.
" Colonel Rafe replied—' This was a natural conclusion,
because we were previously informed at the Tuileries that
his Majesty was to be fired at as he passed along.'—(Ex-
pressions of astonish men t. )

" The President—Wss the King warned of this ?
" Colonel Rare (with some little hesitation)—l do not
know.—(Murmurs from the audience.)"
There is something in this which strongly
favours the idea entertained from the Itegining,
that the whole affair is a farce got up by the
police.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Maacti 10.—Yesterday evening at seven
o'clock, a courier with despa.ehes from Paris arrived at
the Department of FOreign Affairs. He was sent back to
Paris an hour afterwards.
Bonds of the Rothschild Loan, for a capital of 51,408
francs, have been deposited to-day at the Department of the
Minister of Finance, to be converted into insci iptioss in the
great hook of the public debt of Belgium, in the name of
his Grace, Arthur Duke of Wellington, Prince of
Waterloo.
Yesterday the Queen of the French gave an audience
to the French wounded. She spoke to them in the kindest
manner, and c.used in,nry to be distributed among them.
They were highly pleased with their reception. All those
wounded, except some whom it is impossible to remove,
will set out for France to-day. E ich of them has received
a present of 100 francs.
The brevets for the Be•gians who have received the
cross of the legion of honour arrived yesterday from Paris.
It is observed that there is one for Count Felix de Merode.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 11.—Baron de Stockmar and his
brother have arrived here from Germany.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, who received a cou-
rier from Paris on Saturday evening, and sent him back
soon afterwards, yesterday despatched another courier to
Pais. It is affirmed that he had received information of
a motion made by M. Mauguin, to charge Belgium with
the expenses of the expeditions of 1831 and 1832, and
that lie ha. instructed M. le Hon to declare that the Bel-
gian Government will not pay in any case, whatever may
be the decision of the French Chambers.
A letter tram Doel, of March 9, says—" Yesterday
afternoon, the Dutch fleet advanced. Besides the nine
gun boats which have been for some time between Lillo
and Liefkenshoek, two corvettes, a steam• boat, and two
gun-boas, have taken positions from the village of Doel
to Old Duel.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 12.—Their Majesties, with the
Queen of the French, the Dake of Orleans, and Princess
Maria, went to the theatre yesterday morning, and were
welcomed on their entrance with the greatest enthusiasm.
The Queen of the French will go on Wednesday to
Antwerp, and on the 18th her Majesty will set out to re-
turn to Paris.
The Duke of Orleans will set out fur Paris to-night.—

EFFECTS OF PAssum. Yesterday after-
noon a journeyman carpenter, named AlArrHEws, in the
employ of Mr. PHILLIPS, of Newton.stre,r, Hackney,
having quarrelled with his wife about some trifling matter,
in a paroxysm of fury, inflicted on her several wound, in
the face with a carving knife, and afterwards made a
desperate attempt on his own life by plunging it in his
throat. He lay for some time apparently lilelees from loss
of blood. A surgeon was called in, when it was disco-
vered that none of the main arteries were divided, so that
hopes art entertained of his recovery.

example will Woo be followed in a multitude of lesser
states. Should the King dissolve the Chamber, he will
find the same Deputies returned by the people."
The following is the conclusion of the report of the
Wirtemhurg Deputies to their King, as given in the
Journal of Stottgardt
" Sire,—A rescript has been presented to us by coin.
mind of your Majesty, which has induced us to make
the following respectful representations. It is slid in
the r script that the Chamber will hasten to reject
with indignation a motion concerning the resolution-
come to by the Germanic Diet on the 28th of June.
1832. In consequence we feel ourselves bound to de-
e, in the most positive manner, that every Member of
this Chamber has a right to the most free expression of
his opinions, and is in duty bound to do so if he tears that
the Constitution is threitened with violation, from whit
ever side that violation may proceed. The motion is en-
tered upon the list of the proc-edivgs of the Chamber, and
we cannot allow it to be withdrawn ; nor can we suffer
'ourselves, in deciding upon it, to be ruled by any other in-
fluence than our own consciences. We cannot, thece-
fore, repel this motion with indignation, but, on the con-
trary. feel ourselves bound to protect the freedom of the
Chamber. and the responsibility of each of its Members
from any violent interference in the progress of their legis•
lative labours."

(Here follow the signatures.)
NM a single voice was raised against this report, and
the Chamber unanimously decided that it should be taken
into consideration on the Monday. The public were re-
strained with difficulty from expressing their approbation
by plaudits.

LITERATURE.

DEL ORAINE. 3 VoLs. LoPaoli, 1333.
A romance from the pen of an octogenarian,
we believe we may almost say a nonagenarian—
for Mr. Godwin, if we mistake not, is conside-
rably upwards of eighty—is a curiosity in litera-
ture, worthy to be recorded with all due honour.
The case, however, extraordinary as it is, is not
without parallel, for Rabelais was fast approach-
ing his eightieth year when he produced his
"Voyage to the Holy Bottle," the sprightliest piece
of Pantagruelism—to quote his own favourite
phrase—he ever penned, nor was Voltaire much
younger when he published his " L'lngenu." In
"Deloraine" there are few traces of an octogena-
rian temperament—except, indeed, that Mr. God-
win does not put himself much out of the way to
portray passion—the plot of the tale seldom or
never flags, nor are the thoughts, of which it is
full, characterized by any want of force or subtlety.
As for the style, it is uniformly polished, equable,
and natural—far different, in this respect, to
" St. Leon," which is, in many places, stilted
and verbose, to a degree bordering on the ridi-
culous. But this was not Mr. Godwin's fault.
It was the faurt of the day in which the tale was
written. The style of " Deloraine," we repeat, is
beautiful, but it is more than this, it is a per-
fect model of chaste elegance. We really do
not believe there is a rugged or inharmonious
sentence in the whole three volumes. But this,
be it observed, is not the style in which passion
is in the habit of developing itself. Strong
feeling cannot pause to round off a melodious
period. It has no time to adjust its attitude,
or sacrifice to the Graces. It cannot wait to
fold its robe, like Cesar, when falling in the
Senate-house. It goes straight on to the end,
dashing, like a cataract, headlong over all im-
pediments. Mr. Godwin's tale has every earthly
recommendation but feeling. It is an elegant
petrifaction—nothing more. We have no space
for extracts.

BYRON'S W ORKS,VoL. XV.--.LONDON , 1833

So far as original matter, in the shape of edi-
torial appendices, and variorum notes, is con-
cerned, this is indisputably the most interesting
volume (not even excepting those which com-
prised his memoirs) that has yet appeared of
Lord Byron's works. To give, if possible, an
added gusto to the volume, we have the three
first cantos of " Don Juan" printed, for the first
time, as they were originally written, with the
far-famed, but over-rated dedication to Southey
prefixed to them. The volume will, of course,
be read with intense interest.

FINE ARTS.

FINDEN'S ILLUSTRATIONS of BYRON.
PART XII. LONDON, 1833.

The fine portrait of Sir Walter Scott is, in

itself, quite sufficient recommendation to this
work. As an engraving, it is in Finden's most
careful and finished style, and as a likeness, we
have heard it spoken of as one of the best ex-
tant. The shrewd, intelligent eye, characterised
also by a lurking expression of good humour,
which Allan Cunningham (we believe it is) has
so happily described, is not to be mistaken, nor
the dome-like forehead which towers up to an
extraordinary height, like the foreheads of Shak-
speare and Cervantes. The landscapes are six
in number, and among the most beautiful, is the
view of Joanina, the well-known favourite resi-
dence of Ali Pacha.

KING'S THEATRE.

The German Opera opened last night at this theatre
with a company entirely new, and with the immortal
Freyschutz. The prima donna is a Madame PIRSCHER,
a singer with a voice of great power and beauty, and per-
fectly acquainted with the character and sentiment of
the music of Agatha. Her person is full, and her face
possesses the German character, not so favourable to ex-
pression, but to which in this part is an advantage rather
than otherwise to the actress. She gave the great scena
with a combined power and delicacy in the best keeping
with its character, and altogether in a manner which at
once fixed her in the estimation of the audience. The
exquisite cavatina," Und oh die volke," was given with
a chasteness and feeling which evinced the best judgment,
and it was warmly applauded. The Annchen was Ma-
demoiselle NINA SONTAG, who sang with her sister in
the Italian Opera here. She has not the vivacity neces-
sary to the acting points of this part. but sings the music
accurately and well. The tenor is Herr BINDER, and he
possesses a voice which is in the truest sense entitled to
that description. It is a tenor of the purest and richest
kind. The principal bass, Herr K. OCKERT (Cuno), has
a splendid voice, and is a good singer. Herr EHLERS,
the Kylian, is humnurous and effective. The Caspar
was exceedingly well played, but our own PHILLIPS has a
musical reminiscence about the part which has made it sink

1 By a gentleman just arrived in this city, we are put in
Polession of the resolutions passed at a meeting of the
Assembly in the Island of Nevis on the 4th of August :
" I. That it is expedient that such effectual measures
should be adopted for the speedy and entire abolition of
slavery as may be consistent with a due regard to the per-
Inanent welfare of the slaves, the interests of their masters,
and the general safety of the community at large.
" 2. That it is expedient that the grant of 20,000,000/.
kfforded by the two houses of the British Parliament to-
bards compensation to the proprietors of the slaves, for the
tosser they may sustain by tl e operation of the measures
Proposed by his Majesty's Government, be accepted ; pro-
'ided such grant be distributed among the proprietors of
slaves in an equal proportion to be paid for every slave
throughout the colonies.
" 3. That to secure the tranquillity of this colony, and
tto obviate the danger and evils which a sudden change in
,he condition of the labouring population will propose, it
itidisPenably necessary to maintain an active and
powerful
system of police ; and this Howe receives with gratitude the announcement of his Majesty's gracious in-
tentio
to defray the expenses incidental to such an
Ca""mlittent, and to provide, upon liberal and compre-
Mive principles, for the religious and moral instruction
of the etnancipated population."—Bristol Journal.

Q UEEN- S QUARE.

THE GROSVENOR ACT.—A number of the in-
habitants of the out ward of St. George's were
summoned before the Magistrates, to show cause
why they refused to pay the rates due for paving,
lighting, watching, repairing, and otherwise improv-
ing Grosvenor-place, and the streets, squares, &c.
adjacent.

One of the defendants complained of being as-
sessed for lighting, &c., when there was not a single
lamp in the street where he lived. The great
squares arid streets in the district were well lighted,
and he was called upon to pay part of the expense.
Another of the defendants lived in Eaton-lane
North, Pimlico ; the place had never been paved at
all, and he was obliged to purchase gravel to mend
the road himself in front of his house, and he was
now called on to pay for paving and lighting. As
to the lighting the place, there was but one lamp in
the whole lane.

The other defendants made similar defences, and
ome and all complained of the injustice and oppres-
sive operation of the Act.
They were all ordered to pay. Several of the
defendants declared they would not obey, and that
they might seize their goods for it.

ROLLS COURT, JAN. 17.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE MERCERS' COMPANY.
This case came on before the Court on further
directions. The information was filed by the At-
torney-General, at the relation of a gentleman named
Palmer, for the purpose of securing certain legacies
which, from time to time, under wills, the first of
which was dated 1545, had been bequeathed to the
Mercers' Company, in order to enable them to lend
out certain sums of money without interest, at their
discretion, to different persons who should be mem-
bers of that company. From the date of these
wills the funds so bequeathed continued to be dealt
with according to the intentions of the testators, till
some time about 1666, the date of the great fire of
London, after which the charity fell into desuetude :
under the investigations, however, of the Charity
Commissioners, the funds, amounting to 2,8504,
were brought to light, and the object of this infor-
mation was to have them brought into Court, and a
scheme settled for their future management. When
the case came on to be heard in 1831, the de-
fendants were ordered to pay iuto the bank the
amount of the several legacies, and it was referred
to the Master to approve of a scheme for their fu-
ture application, according to the will of the testa-
tors, or as near thereto as circumstances would
admit. The Master by his report set forth a scheme
under which it was provided that the Company,
in place of paying them into the bank, as had
been ordered at the hearing, should, for the sake of
convenience, retain in their hands the moneys re-
ceived by them OH account of the several legacies,
and lend them out without interest on bond with
two securities to young men of their company in
sums of from 501. to 5001.

His HONOUR considered 5001. too large a sum to
lend, as the scheme proposed. He was inclined to
think that no sum should exceed 200/. It appear-
ing, however, that there were various funds in the
hands of the Company applicable to the same pur-
poses, and the Court taking into account the pro-
portionate value of money now and when the testa-
tors had directed 2001. to be so laid out, this proposed
limitation in the amount of the loans was ultimately
abandoned.

His HONOUR said that, in order to secure the
publicity which was desirable and necessary to give
due effect to the benevolent intentions of the testa-
tors, notice of the state of the funds should be
placed in the hall of the company, and advertise-
inents should also be inserted from time to time in
the public newspapers.

ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK COMPANY.

The Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors of this
Company was held yesterday at the Dock-house, Tower-
hill.

THOMAS TooKE, Esq., having been called to the
Chair, proceeded to rive a general statement of the affairs
of the Company. The yearly earnings of 1831 amounted
to 142,763/. 9.. 10d., those of 1832 to 141,3211.
18s. Sd., showing a falling off of 1,4411. 18s. 2d.
The expenditure of 1831 amounted to 76,593/.
4.. 10d. ; and that of 1832 to 78,733/. 2s. 3d.,
being an increase of 1,139/. 17e. sd. Allowing,, how•
ever, for some disbursements, the payment of which had
unavoidably been deferred from 1831 to 1832, the actual
profits of the last year would have exceeded the former
about 6501., had those items been paid at the proper
time. The import trade of the port of London during
the past year, as compared with the preceding five years,
had decreased is an extraordinary degree. In 1831 the
ship. and tonnage, British and foreign, were 5,610 ships,
1,416,642 tons ; in 1832 they were but 4,018 ships,
776,420 tons, making the decrease in the past year
1,592 ships, and 265,222 tons. This defalcation might
be attributed to various causes not of a permanent charac•
ter ; the cholera, the state of political affairs both at home
and abroad, and the diminution in the importation of fo-
reign corn and flour; but he (the Chairman) was of opi-
nion that the chief cause was the accumulation of stores,
beyond the demand in the markets and our own consump-
tion, so that the tlecliue in the shipping trade in the past
year, was positively preparing the way for its rise in pro-
portion as the stores became exhausted.
A half-yearly dividend of 11 per cent. was then
dared, and agreed to nem con.

VICE.CHANCERY COURT, JAN 17.

This being the second seal day in the present
Hilary Term, his Honour the VICE-CIIANCELLOR
took motions.

HARRIS AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES, V. THE BANK

OF ENGLAND AND ANOTHER.

Mr. KNIGHT moved to dissolve the injunction
which had been granted in this cause, to restrain the
defendants from giving up certain bags of dollars in
their possession and custody. The injunction had
been granted upon the affidavit of one of the plain-
tiffs, from which it appeared that he was the as-
signee under a commission of bankruptcy issued
against Wiliam Glen Matthie, and Craig Allen
Matthie, who had carried on the business of com-
mercial agents in Liverpool, and at Rio Grande, in
the Brazils.
Mr. PEPYS appeared' for the plaintiffs in support
of the injunction.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not believe one word
of the plaintiff's case, and his opinion was, that even
if the case was such as the plaintiffs had suggested
at the bar, that was a reason why the Court should
dissolve the injunction, with costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 17.

DOE, DEM. BAGALEY, V. LARNE AND OTHERS.
This was an action of ejectment to recover pos-
session of certain tolls and toll-houses which had
been mortgaged for money advanced to the trustees
of the turnpike-roads where the toll-houses were
situate. By the Act of Parliament five trustees
were to be appointed under the seal of the preceding
trustees. The defence to this action was, that in
this case the fifth trustee had not been appointed
under the seal, and on that fact appearing, the
Learned Judge at the trial directed a nonsuit, which
was accordingly entered, with leave, however, to
move to set it aside. The rule which was after-
wards obtained came on to day for discussion.
Rule absolute.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 17.

BLOWER V. HOLLIS.

This was an action against the Sheriff of Mon-
mouthshire for an escape of a prisoner in his
custody under an attachment of the Court of Chan-
cery for non-payment of costs. It was tried before
Mr. Baron Gurney, when a verdict was found for
the plaintiff with 2001. damages. Mr. Edward
Thomas, the vicar of Llangwm, near 1.1,1 t, had
filed a bill in Chancery against the plaintiff, who was
one of his parishioners, for tithes. The bill was
dismissed with costs, which were taxed and certi-
fied by the Master at 3811. 45., for non-payment of
which Thomas had been arrested under the attach-
merit, and had escaped. At the trial an examined
copy of the Chancery decree was offered in evidence.
Mr. Campbell objected to its reception without the
previous production of an examined copy of the bill
and answer. Mr. Baron Gurney, however, received
the evidence, and gave the defendant leave to move.
The Solicitor-General had accordingly obtained a
rule Nisi for a rion-itrit, or else for a new trial, on
account of the damages being excessive, it being
alleged that there was no chance of the plaintiff ever
getting so much of his demand from Mr. Thomas as
2001.

Mr. MAULE and Mr. NICIIOLL showed cause.
Mr. TALFOURD, contra, contended that the evi-
dence admitted was insufficient, but the Court were
against him on that point. An offer was then made
respecting the damages, and the Court discharged
