manufacture the thunder and lightning "as before." The
agitato movement, in G minor, was very unlike the writing
of a musician, consisting of worn-out passages, and succeeded
by his pinching the bass in his left hand, and chopping the
pedals with his feet. The WIND-UP with a fugue, convinces
us whereabouts to rank the talents of this performer.
Every attempt to answer the school-boy subject he played
upon failed ; he never once had it correct, and at last lost it
in the maze of a vulgar March, and the worn-out opera
close. The performance was a dead failure, and manifestly
incurred the indignation of the audience. We presume Mr.
Hill is not answerable for this exhibition ; and as the
" clatter" for the lightning forms no part of the organ, we
trust it may be removed as speedily as possible, in order to
bury all traces of this unfortunate show-up of the powers of
the Birmingham organ.
We have been informed the younger Wesley was present
at the concert, last night, and was witness of the Thunder
scene. He has been requested to perform on the organ on
Saturday, and we have great pleasure in giving this publi-
city ; and we think those who may have the good fortune to
hear him, will experience a great musical treat.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The Duenna was performed at this Theatre last evening.
Enriched with some of the happiest ideas of Sheridan's bril-
liant genius, and abounding with some of the best music of the
best composers of the period at which it was written, it would
be impossible this play could be acted to any audience with-
out meeting some applause. But that is not enough ; and we
would earnestly recommend Mr. Bunn, until he succeeds in
finding a better Don Carlos than Sinclair, a better Don Ferdi-
nand than Duruset, a better Don Antonio than Templeton,
and an actor who will take the trouble of studying the part of
Don Jerome more correctly than Mr. Farren, to refrain from
tantalizing the public by acting it. The only tolerably perfect
characters in the pieces were those of Isaac by Harley, and
the Duenna by Mrs. Jones. The Donna Clara of Miss Shir-
reff, and the Donna Louisa of Miss Betts, were but indif-
ferently sustained. The laughable Farce of Simpson and Co.
followed the Opera, and in some degree compensated for the
disappointment which its performance was so calculated to
originate.
London, England, 1834-10-11

W OR SHIP- STREET.

Yesterday three young men in an extreme state of dis-
tress, who gave their names James Douglas, and Thomas
and William Creswell (the two latter brothers), were placed
at the bar before Mr. BENETT, charged with having on the
preceding night gone into the shop of Mr. John Rushmere,
an eating-house _keeper in Long-alley, Finsbury, and had
their suppers without having the means of paying for them.
The prisoners in their defence were in an extreme state
of destitution, and could not get work, and they were de-
termined not to starve in the land of plenty.
Mr. BENETT had no power whatever to interfere. The
case was not one of felony, but merely a debt, and the com-

plainant was to recover his money by summoning the pri•
goners to the Court of Requests.

The prisoners were consequently discharged, and Mr.
BENETT directed the police not to interfere in such cases
for the future, as they did not come under the jurisdiction
of a Magistrate.
Mr. BENETT observed that it ought to be an invariable
rule with all tradesmen not to suffer their goods to go out
of their hands until they had had the money. If they did
they must put up with the less.

EXCHEQUER RECEIPT.

The most ancient revenue department in the state, the
Receipt of Exchequer, with all its complicated machinery
and checks—such as Auditor, Auditor, Clerk of the Peels,
Tellers, Deputy Tellers, Examiners, &c., terminated last
night, on the accounts of the last quarter being made up.
The new establishment comes into practice this day ; and
from what we have learnt of the arrangements, the public
will be great gainers, in increased convenience and dimi-
nished expenditure.

The Comptroller's Department will, for the present, be
carried on in the old bailing in New Palace-yard. The
Paymaster's Department is at the Treasury, where all pen-
sions and monies for the public service will in future be
disbursed by cheque on the Bank of England. In lieu of
the revenue being received at the Exchequer, the different
receivers will pay it into the Bank of England, to the public
account, a new office having been established there for this
purpose. The expense of salaries, &c., of the Old Exche-
quer was about 45,0001. per annum. The following is the
scale of the new departments :

THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.—" From no
work of Mr. Bulwer's have we risen with such admiration of
his genius as this. There may be as fine passages, as fine
scenes, a finer development of human motives, feelings, pas-
sions, in others ; but never before, to our thinking, has he
shewn such an absolute and entire mastery over his subject_
such artistical power. This may seem strange' but will be
found true. The manners, the customs, the habits of life
which he bad now to describe, were all foreign to him ; there-
fore he could not draw from his own experience, by which he
has ever been, to a limited extent, cabined and shut in. His
knowledge off' the universal nature of man could alone serve
bin-% on this occasion, and nobly has it done so. The unity of
interest in this work is also admirable. From the first momof:,
the reader is unconsciously involved in the story, and at last
he is swept onwards, without power

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two very fashionably dressed young men, who gave their
names as Henry White and Charles Crace, and stated
that they belonged to the University of Oxford, were
charged with creating a disturbance in the pit of the Hay-
market Theatre, and violently assaulting the Officers in at-
tendance there on their proceeding to turn them out.
It appeared that about 9 o'clock during the performance
of " Married and Single," the defendants, in a state of vio-
lent intoxication, entered the pit of the Theatre, and by
their outrageous behaviour in shouting, laughing, &c.,
elicited from the rest of the audience general disappro-
bation, which not having the effect of restraining them
to a propriety of demeanour, a general call of " turn them
out " arose. The clamour rose to such a height that
the performers were at a stand-still, and there was every
appearance of the interruption being persevered in, when
Mr. Miles, the Head-Constable of the • establishment,
interfered, and seizing the defendants, attempted to eject
them from the theatre, but they commenced a most violent
resistance, fighting, kicking, biting, &c., any person who
came in their way ; and it was not until overpowered by
numbers that they were secured and conveyed to the sta-
tion-house, where, passing the night in durance vile, had
effectually made them fully sensible of their extreme
folly and misconduct. _ _

The defendants were informed that the hearing of the
case required the presence of two Magistrates to dispose of
it summarily, and that it must stand over until the latter
part of the day.
The defendants said their interests would be much preju-
diced if they were not at Oxford at a certain time, and
begged the case might be proceeded with. They were in-
formed that they ought previously to have considered of the
circumstance, and the case was deferred.

Magistrates at the Marlborough-street Police-office.
'We will not recapitulate the particUlars of so obvious
an attempt, through the instrumentality of a woman
convicted of falsehood, of bringing the new Poor
Law Bill into public odium. The conduct of Mr.
CONANT, the acting Magistrate, was far from being
creditable 'to him, whatever he may think of it.
The Bench is but indifferently graced when its
occupants league themselves with such charac-
ters as EMMA PASSAM, for the purpose of
entrapping parish officers into an abuse of the
power with which they are entrusted. But we leave
this to the consideration of the Government and
the country who, we doubt not, will estimate such
proceedings at their proper worth. One would
almost think that the loss of the Bampfield Moore
Carew sceptre which the Magistracy wielded so much
to the satisfaction of their subjects, has made
them forget that they are not vested with
authority to rail against the laws, but to
dispense them in the impartial and paternal spirit of
the legislature. They may rely upon it that their pre-
sent conduct on the New Poor Law has not escaped
observation, and will yet be followed by the reward it
so properly deserves.

expression of his voice, and its varied tone, produce such
effects. His scene in "La Somnambula" is equally great.
The chorus from Mozart's Requiem puts into the shade all
other mass writing. " Rex tremendw" was magnificent,
and the beautiful quartette " Benedictus" was well sung.
The introduction of the trombones in this movement shows

this Ward, of which Sir Peter Laurie is the Alderman.
It returns eight Common Councillors, and there were two
new candidates Mr. Godson, one of the old members,
having raised a host of enemies by voting against the ad
dress of his Majesty upon the dismissal of the Melbourne
Administration.

Mr. Noaais asked the Alderman whether he had per-
mission to propose a candidate. It was but fair to state
that he (Mr. Norris) was not a freeman.

LITERATURE.

THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER.

BY TRH Rev. JOHN VENEER, LITE RECTOR OF ST. AN-

DREW'S, CHICHESTER.
Embellished with Engravings.
London. Kelly, Paternoster-row. 1834.

Most cordially do we recommend this edition of the
Book of Common Prayer, which we trust will find its
way into the hands of every Member of the Esta-
blished Church. The engravings with which it is em-
bellished are very beautiful, and we rejoice to find
that our best Divines are not averse to their
introduction in such a work. Surely it was a dark
and mistaken piety which first led to the banishment
of all traces of the Fine Arts in the service of the
altar ; and very happy are we to observe that the
Church begins to entertain this opinion. Nothing,
is bad because it has been abused ; and with re-
gard to engravings in prayer books, the time is
past when they could have been dangerous. Even
an illuminated missal would be now a very innocent
temptation to the worship of created beings. Besides
the engravings, which are very numerous, and
very beautiful, this edition of the book of
Common Prayer is enriched with a variety of notes,
and a concise history of the Liturgy, which renders it
invaluable to young persons. The notes have been
carefully selected from the works of the most approved
Ecclesiastical writers.

THE COMIC KEEPSAKE.

EDITED IND ILLUSTRATED BY .ALFRED CROWQUILL, ESQ.

London : F. J. Mason, West Strand.

A capital companion for the Christmas log and the
jug of nut-brown ale, which herald the gay festivities
of the " twelve days." Most of the embellishments
are full of humour, and the letter-press is one great
pun from beginning to end. " The discovery of the
Pole," representing an unfortunate old gentleman,
whose hat and wig prefer going with the wind—" a
match, with a little brimstone," in which a poor fellow
appears undergoing some wholesome chastisement, in-
flicted by his wife—" northern expedition," or a
Laplander pursued by a bear"—" raising his mother's
spirit," or a young rogue drinking out a bottle over
his mother, who appears to have been before-hand
with him in the work of elevation—are all excellent.
" Giving the first blow," blowing a penny trumpet, is
equally good. " Waiting for a chop," is not quite
so laughable an affair. The headman with his axe
gives
one an uncomfortable feeling. The other em-
bellishments are not quite so much to our taste ; we
think the artist might have taken more pains with
se'veral of them, which are in truth not so carefully
executed as they ought to be. Some of the rhymes
are as rich in humour as if Porson had strung them.
London, England, 1834-10-29

WINDSOR, OCT. 28.

Their Majesties did not visit Bushy-park, yesterday, as was
expected. The King took his accustomed drive, accompanied
by Sir William Fremantle ; but the Queen did not leave the
Castle during the day.
Lady and Miss Gore, and the Rev. D. F. Markham and
Mrs. Markham, had the honour of dining at the Royal table
yesterday evening.
Madlle D'Este, accompanied the King in his drive this
afternoon. Owing to slight indisposition, arising from a cold,
the Queen has not left the Castle during the last two days.
Her Majesty is, however, expected to accompany the King to
town to-morrow. .

On Saturday next the Court will depart for Brighton, to
the great regret of the inhabitants of this town and neighbour-
hood. The Princess Augusta will also leave Frogmore Lodge
for the Royal Pavilion, where their Majesties have invited her
to spend the winter.

HAMBURG, OCT. 24, 1834.
EINE, BROTHER S, Contractors, beg to inform
the Public, that it would now be too late for ordering Tickets
of the Sixty-fourth Great Lottery, and that Orders can be given
for the succeeding SIXTY-FIFTH LOTTERY. In former Lot-
teries they have received several applications for TICKETS OF A
NUMBER ANSWERING TO THE NUMBER OF BANK
NOTES REMITTED. It is of course impossible to attend to
such requests, if the orders are not given BEFORE THE COM-
MENCEMENT OF SALE. They therefore now beg to inform
the Public, that the Tickets of the Sixty-fifth Hamburg Great
Lottery will begin selling on the 26th of NEXT MONTH, and
all Orders for Tickets OF THE SAME NUMBER AS THE
BANK NOTE SENT WITH THE ORDER, must reach them
before that day, and Bank Notes, to answer that purpose, must not
bear a higher Number than 10,000.
Those remitting a Ten-pound Note, will receive an Order for
the Balance and a full Share, together with the Ticket. Should
the desired Number be already disposed of, the Bank Note will be
returned by the First Mail. Orders of this description must be
directed without delay to

KILCOCK HORSE FAIR.

When we consider the high estimation in which our Irish
horses are held in England, we sincerely desire to see addi-
tional facilities to the free traffic in that kind of stock be-
tween the two countries—the more so, as our agricultural
produce is now at so unremunerating a price. The large
tracts of Yorkshire devoted to the breeding of horses pay
higher rents than any other districts of the north of Eng-
land, and many of the horses bred there are sold in Lon-
don as Irish horses, and bring higher prices than if sup-
posed to be English. We, therefore, anticipate much be-
nefit to this country from the establishment of a fair, to
which the English dealers can resort without the loss of
time and other inconveniences of which they complain in at-
tending fairs at a great distance from our metropolis. We
are much gratified to find that the supply of horses was
good in this new fair, and, above all, that the quality, par-
cularly of the young stock, was very superior. In an effort
to establish a new fair it rarely happens that at the com-
mencement both supply and demand are obtained.• Buyers
in general wait until they ascertain the prospect of supply
before they come forward to furnish the demand ; and we
doubt not that they will now feel confident that their pre-
sence is only necessary to render the next annual fair at Kil-
cock a most important benefit to themselves and their coun-
try. Several colts belonging to the noted studs of Mr. Nugent,
Mr. White, of Monasteroras ; Mr. Colgan, Mr. Neale,
Mr. Kearney, &c., formed as fine an assemblage of large
and well-shaped young stock as could be found in Ballina-
sloe fair. We, however, would suggest that it would be
more judicious to confine a new horse-fair to a single day.
In this instance, many horses came in the second day which
were not on the first day, and those would have much
added to the supply on that day had the fair been so li-
mited. We also would suggest that every means should
be hereafter used to induce the sellers to bring in their
stock as early in the day as is usual in the great established
horse fairs—the practice in the county of Kildare being to
begin the horse fair long after the cattle fair. We have
reason to know that some buyers left the fair at ten o'clock,
supposing that no others than horses then exhibited for sale
would be found there ; whereas it was not till after eleven
o'clock the greatest part arrived. The defects are, how-
ever, of easy remedy ; and, on the whole, we entertain no
fears that the next fair will fall short of the very sanguine
expectations we have formed of its success. The cattle
fair was well attended, and several lots were sold there at
fair prices.—Dublin Evening Packet.

A singular case of exemption lately occurred before
a Council of Revision in France. A young soldier was sent
home because of such colossal stature, and so stout that he
could not march in an infantry regiment, and so heavy that
in the cavalry his weight would destroy any how he might be
put upon.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday, William Barnett, a carpenter, Joshua Bald-
win, a groom, and John Charrington, timekeeper to the
Paddington omnibusses, were placed at the bar, before the
sitting Magistrates, Messrs. RAWLINSON and GREGORIE,
charged with an unprovoked and desperate attack on several
of the new police.
Barnett was fined 10s. for the assault, and ss. for being
drunk, or one week's imprisonment ; Baldwin and Char-
rington were ordered to pay a fine of 50s. each ; or, in de-
fault, committed to the House of Correction for 6 weeks.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Jane Payne,
a young woman of respectable appearance, was charged
with stealing a quantity of table linen, four silk handker-
chiefs, several articles of plate, and a set of gold shirt studs
of great value, the property of Henry Charles Hoare, Esq.
(a partner in the banking firm of that name), residing at
No. 5, York-place, Regent's Park.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was in his ser-
vice as kitchen-maid about two years back, when she left to
be married ; since that time, however, at her request, he
had continued to employ her occasionally as an assistant in
the house. On his return home from the country on Sun-
day last, he was informed by his butler that property,
consisting of the above-named articles, was missing, and
that suspicion attached to the prisoner, who had been to
the house several times during his absence from town.
He ordered inquiries to be made, and having ascertained
that the prisoner was really the thief, caused her to be ap-
prehended.
The pawnbrokers having produced the property, which
was identified by the prosecutor, the prisoner, who did not
seem at all cast down, made no defence, and was fully com-
mitted to Newgate for trial.
Thomas Comber was re-examined and committed for trial
on a charge of embezzling several sums of money belonging
to his master, Mr. Holding, landlord of the St. George,
)3elgrave-road, Pimlico.
