MA.RLBOROUGII-STREET.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—Morrice Medlicott, an eccen-
tric-looking young man, was charged before Mr. Bing-
ham with assaulting James Palmer, one of the door-
keepers at the Pantheon Bazaar, Great Marlborough
street.

Complainant stated that on the previous afternoon
the prisoner, who was the worse for drink, endeavoured
to force his way into the Baz'tar, to the great annoyance
of the visitors. Witness expostulated with him, and trie I
to persuade him to go away, but all to no purpose, as
he persisted on his rights as a " true born Englieman" to
enter the place. Witness, in order to get rid of him, took
him into custody, and handed him over to a policeman.
The prisoner then became very violent and struck and
bit complainant about the arms and face, and It eventually
required the united efforts of throe policemen to Ledo
him in the station-house.

The prisoner, who made a rambling statement about
the rights of a "free-born Englishman," was fined 403.
The money not being forthcoming he was committed to
prison for 14 days.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
" The Emperor and Empress," says the Mes-
sager of Bayonne, " embarked on Saturday morn-
ing in a small boat, and although the sea was rather
rough went on board the Pelican, which was under
weigh in the offing awaiting the arrival of their Ma-
jesties. The Emperor caused the steamer to run along
the shore as close as possible from Biarritz to St.
Jean de Luz, and crossed the bar of Bayonne at
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The Pelican,
under the pilotage of an old fisherman of the
place who had been recommended to the notice
of the Emperor as being acquainted with every
part of the coast, passed over the bar in per-
fect safety, and running alongside the Quai des
All es Marines, their Majesties were enabled to
land without difficulty just opposite the place where
the carriages were in waiting to convey them to
the Villa Eugenie. On Sunday the Emperor and
Empress attended Divine service at the new
church, and did not afterwards leave the villa.
After dinner there was a reception and a soiree clan
sante. In addition to the company already men-
tioned as having the honour to attend the weekly
reception; there were present on Sunday General
Rippert and Mine. Rippert ; Baron Vigeni, French
consul at St. Sebastian, M. Olozaga, ex Spanish
ambassador at Paris, and M. Pacheco, Spanish
charge d'affaires at London."

VARIATIONS OF THE COMPASS.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—Liverpool has hitherto taken
a prominent part i❑ the important discussion of the
variations of the compass, and a committee, selected
from the various scientific and commercial associations
of Liverpool, have been for some time laboriously em-
ployed in prosecuting an inquiry into the causes of,
and the best means of correcting, such deviations. To
mercantile interests the result of this inquiry will be
all important. Dr. Scoresby, whose name has been
FO long as-ociated with this department of science,
has again ♦isited Liverpool in connection with the sub-
ject, this time to make preparation for his intended
voyage to Australia, undertaken with the view of
determining the magnetic Jaws which influence the
action of the compass in the southern hemispheres.
It has already been announced that the Liverpool and
Australian Steam Navigation Company boa spiritedly
placed at Dr. Scoresby 's disposal a state room in the
new steamship Royal Charter, which is announced to
sail for Melbourne. The Shipowners Association of
Liverpool have also provided means for his return ;
while the Admiralty, with a praiseworthy alacrity, have
placed at his service their best instruments, and several
valuable charts to aid his observations. On Wednesday
last Dr. Scoresby visited the Royal Charter, when the
arrangements made to promote the important object of
his setlimposed mission met with his entire satisfaction.
He expressed himself pleased with the wooden masts,
the compass aloft in addition to those on deck, the posi-
tion of the wheel, &e. The company, at the urgent re-
quest of Dr. Scoresby, who represented the importance
4 commencing his observations immediately, have or-
der, d the steam-ship to be again swung, end steps were
taken to carry VA., order lute effect by taking the ship
into the basin. The state of the tides, however, pre-
vented the accomplishment of this object, and it is feared
the near approach of the day of sailing will prevent its
being effected.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1856

THEATRE-ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN.

" The Wizard " has further novelties in preparation
to reward his friends and the community at large for the
patronage so liberally awarded to him. Rob Roy is to be
produced on Wednesday evening, Mr. Anderson himself
enacting the part of the bold outlaw, which he has done
with great eclat both in Scotland and America. It cannot
be forgotten that he was proprietor of the City Theatre,
Glasgow, at the time of the unfortunate conflagration by
which it was completely destroyed, and from which he
sustained very serious pecuniary loss. But Mr. Ander-
son was not the man to sink under any casualty, how-
ever formidable ; and he has proved that he possesses
the Plasanix-like attribute of acquiring new strength
from that which would ruin others of less energy and
ability. There, on the boards consecrated by the ori-
ginal " Bailie Nicol Jarvis," where the venue was laid,
he undertook the chief part, and achieved unequivocal
success. In New York also he gained verdant laurels in
the role which he undertook for the benefit of a distressed
brother performer, for it is not the least of Mr. Ander-
son's claims that "his hand has always been open as the
day in the cause of melting charity," and that his purse
and personal exertions have been freely accorded to the
sick and needy, suffering and destitution constituting a
demand which he could never resist. We anticipate a
rich treat in the production of Roo Roy under such
auspices, when we may feel well assured that every part
will receive a strictly conscientious interpretation.
The pantomime continues to attract crowded audiences.
The promises of the first night have been fully verified,
and as Flexmore declared, "it was all right on the mor-
row," and has been so ever since ; and the public has
shown its just appreciation of the intense exertions and
lavish expenditure so freely expended for its gratifica-
tion.

It is said that a squib, under the title of "Tit for Tat,
a Legend of Drury-lane," will also be produced, in
which it will be clearly shown that the Garden has " a
Roland for the Oliver" of Old Drury. We shall look for-
ward with some curiosity to these bloodless contests,
in which the combatants fight with "headless weapons,"
calculated to raise many a hearty laugh, without lasting
injury to the parties engaged.

ELEOTION or CLERK.

Mr. LOWUN TAYLOR moved that the election of clerk
do take place on Monday next, and the same be adver-
tised, which having been seconded was carried unani-
mously.

Major LYON gave notice that he should again bring
on his motion respecting the width of streets, &c., at
the next meeting.

With reference to the election of clerk it wait
ultimately agreed to, and ordered that advertisements
should be inserted in the morning and evening news-
papers, inviting applications up to 12 o'clock at noon on
Saturday next, to give the chairman an opportunity of
opening the letters and classifying them to facilitate
their reading at the meeting on Monday next.
After some unimportant business, the Board ad-
journed till 12 o'clock on Monday next.

WOOL.

There is a slight improvement in the demand for most
kinds of English wool, and prices are fairly supported.
In foreign and colonial qualities scarcely any business is
doing, at late rates. Last week's imports were 213 bales
from Australia, 1,950 from Algoa 8ay,178 from the Cape,
587 from Bombay, 15 from Hamburg, and 328 from
Melbourne.
The following are the current rates of English wool :

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was very little business transacted in wheat in
the leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices
wore in favour of buyers. The barley trade ruled heal; y,
on lower terms. All other kinds of spring corn, including
flour, were dull and drooping.
Our American advices state that large quantities of
produce were still coming forward. The continental
markets generally are dull and lower.
Very moderate supplies of English grain wore received
up to our market, last week, except barley. From abroad
the imports were 6,018 quarters of wheat, 275 barley, 5,525
oats, 380 beans, 360 peas, 50 tares, 2,612 linseed, 9,580
rapeseed, 30 mustardseed, 1,109 sundry seeds, 793 sacks
and 1,799 barrels of flour.

We had a very moderate supply of English wheat ox
sale to-day, in very middling condition, arising from the
damp state of the weather. For most kinds we had a slow
sale, yet most of the samples found buyers at- allowing
for the bad state of the samples—prices about equal t o
those of Monday last.
Tbe show of foreign wheat was rather limited, generally
speaking the trade was ♦ery depressed, and the quotations
were almost nominal.
Floating cargoes of grain were rather dull.

The supply of English barley was moderate—of foreign
very limited. About an average business was transacted
in most kinds, at full quotations. A few parcels were
taken for Holland.

Malt moved off slowly, at the late decline.
Oats—the supply of which was moderate—sold at full
quotations.

We had a very dull sale for beans, at a fall in value of
quite ls. per quarter.

Grey peas fell quite Is., and white gene 2.. per quarter,
with e heavy sale.
The flour trade was dull, et last week's deeline in price.

RIM/MUTATION Or TUN \VINT RIDING.—A para-

entire change in the representation of the West Riding
was desired by the electors, and stating that it had long
been known that Mr. Denison intended at the end of
the Parliament to retire into private life. A letter on
this subject having been addressed to Mr. Denison, he
has returned the following reply :—" Doncaster, Jan.
2, 1856. have not been informed that any
stronz feeling has been expressed in different parts of the
West Riding to have an entire change in the represen-
tation in the event of a dissolution of the present Par-

Nor have I expressed to any person any intention to
' retire at the end of the Parliament into private life.'

went with the exercise of the imperial prerogative, Ide le):
not know that that is our last difficulty. It is very
possible that great colonies, assuming the whole charge
of their own defence, and even coming forward to aid
us in war, may not ultimately be satisfied unless they
have a voice in the Imperial Government. I do not
think it eivisable to treat of such matters as abstract
questions, but I believe when it arrives we shall be able
to deal with it as satisfactorily as we have dealt with
former questions, if we still meet the colonies in the same
frank, open manner. What is wanted is this—it is ne'
cessary that the people of this country should look on
the colonies as part and parcel of themselves, sympathiel
in their wishes, and rejoice in their progress. We know
that many of the colonies form an admirable investment
for our capital, and I am sure if you make an invest-
ment of your affection upon the colonies, you will find
an ample return in theirlgratitude and goodwill. (Cheers.
Fcr my own part, lest I should seem to arrogate any
merit to myself, or to accept too literally the very fiat.
tering remarks of the Lord Provost, I want to say
that I take no credit to myself for the progress o
Canada during my administration. I was dealing
there with a free, intelligent, loyal, moral people, sad
it is to their great and good qualities that all this pro-
gress and prosperity are owing. (Loud °hears.) If
have been in any degree instrumental in placing them
in a more favourable position for the exhibition of Weep
qualities than what they occupied before ; and if, six"
all, I have been able to do anything to avert the risk of
what I would consider the greatest of all oalansitiee—o
collision between the two grea,tAnglo-Saxon communal,*
on either side of the Atlantic—l can only be hunrmr
grateful to Providence for being permitted to offer tbirt
himble mite to the honour and security of my country.
(Prolonged applause.)
Mr. ALEXANDZR EASTIE, M.P., moved a vote of
thanks to the Lord Provost, magistrates, and oorporatiOn
of the city of Glasgow for having presented the treads=
of the city to such a worthy nobleman as Lord Klee.
In making this proposition, he had to remark that be bad
watched Canada during the governorship of the noble
lord, and could bear his testimony to the prosperous re•
suit of his able and judicious management. (Cheers.)
The motion was carried by acclamation ; and his lord-
ship having acknowledged the compliment, the largo
assembly retired.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
TRIESEMAR.—On the 29th of May, 1855, an
injunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and
oil the 11th June following was made perpetual, against Joseph
ranklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou-
sand pounds, from imitating this Medicine, which is protected by

BON-lONS FOR THE RUSSIANS,

The principal engineering founderies in Liverpool have
the whole of their hands occupied in the manufacture of
immense projectiles and enormous pieces of ordnance.
At the Mersey steel and iron works, in addition to the
monster wrought-iron gun, to weigh 24 tons, and to
throw a ball of 3001 b. upwards of five miles, they are
constructing two wrought-iron mortars, capable of
throwing a shell of 36 inches in diameter. At Messrs.
Fawcett and Preston's they are executing an order
for 90 mortars for 13-inch shells, about 50 for sea and
40 for land service. At the Vauxhall Foundry im-
mense quantities of 8, 10, and 13 inch shells have been
constructed for some time, upwards of 7,000 tons of
which have been made during the past 6 months ; and
during the last 10 days they have shipped 1,400 tons of
shell to Woolwich. This firm are also making several
dozens of 10 and 13 inch mortars for land and sea ser-
vice, and 2 experimental cast-iron mortars to throw 18-
inch shells, which, it is believed, are to be called the
"Falmerston Pacificators." fir. Jno. Laird is also build-
ing 14 wooden screw gun-boats, of 240 tons and 60-
horse power each.

conveyed in open waggons, which night after night stand
&most unprotected ou the public highway. Your peti-
tioners are, however, but too well assured that the intro-
duction of convicts would throw the colony into a state
of alarm for the security of life and property for which
no material advantage supposed to he gained could com-
pensate. That they cannot but regard with the utmost
alarm the prospect of convicts being introduced into the
midst of 109,000 natives settled in this district, and some
thousands of whom are now peacefully serving their
white fellow-subjects, submitting to the restraints of civi-
lised life, but who might be easily roused into fierce an-
tagonism, and who are further surrounded in every di-
rection by uncounted tribes whose delight is rapine and
war. Your petitioners feel that they need not dwell upon
the inevitable consequences of mingling, whether by the
escapes or by the expiry of their sentences, of men of
desperate character with the natives, whose admiration
fur fearless daring is a passion, and whose love of plun-
der is insatiable ; and earnestly implore your Majesty to
avert from South Africa the horrors of another Kafir
war, with all its expenditure of treasure and the
speedy result they feel assured of such a measure as the
introduction of convicts.

According to the reports in the local paper', the op•
peeing parties are nicely balanced.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

On Saturday e►ening Farquhar'e comedy of the
"Beaux Stratagem" was revived at this theatre with
complete success. The comedy has been compressed
into three acts, and the objectionable parts expunged, but
its general character has been admirably preserved by
Mr. Buckstone, and its production will no doubt prove
highly attractive. The comedy has the advantage of
able embodiments. The entire force of the theatre is
thrown into the caste—including, of course, th• lessee
himself, whose portraiture of Saab is as masterly and
diverting an effort as anything we remember to have
experienced at his hands, numerous as have been his
comic personations. The audience enjoyed the humour
of this creation immensely on Saturday night, and it
never probably, even when the comedy was in the fall
flood of its popularity, occasioned more genuine mirth.
The characters of Mrs. Sullen, Cherry, Archer, Aim-
well, Squire Sullen, and Foigard were supported respec-
tively by Min Reynolds, Miss Bella Copeland (a debu-
tante from Liverpool, and niece, we believe, of the late
Mrs.Fitzwilliara),Messrs.Howe,W.Farren, Chippendale,
and Braid. Miss Bella Copeland met with great success,
and her acting on Saturday augured very favourably for the
future. She possesses all the requisites for her profes-
sion in an eminent degree, and we doubt not but that
in a short time she will become an established London
favourite. We rarely see a comedy of such merit as the
" Beaux Stratagem," which, with all its faults, possesses
a degree of brilliancy of dialogue that might be ♦ainly
looked for in similar works of the present day, so evenly
acted throughout. All the performers exerted them-
selves to the utmost, and under such circumstances it
would be invidious to particularise. The new grand
Christmas pantomime increases nightly in attraction. The
house was crowded at the rising of the curtain.

SUPPOSED MURDER OF THE LATE
LORD EORGE BENTINCIC..

THE RUG LEY POISONING CASES.

The inquiries instituted at Rugeley and Stafford, with
relation to the antecedents of William Palmer and his
associates, have brought several new circumstances to
light of a mysterious and appalling character. The
❑ames of other persons, either missing or known to be
deceased, have been mentioned as having suddenly dis-
appeared from Rugeley, and it is now ascertained, upon
the evidence of two or three persons, that Palmer was
seen in the company of thelate Lord George Bentinck on
the day of his death. It is also said that he had bad
betting transactions with the noble lord, and owed him
a considerable sum of money at the time of his death.
This information has tended to heighten the excitement
already prevailing in Stafford, Nottingham, and Lich•
field, where the accused, Palmer, is well known. Addi-
tional inquiries have been set on foot to trace Palmer's
movements on the day on which Lord George Ben-
tinck's body was found in the field, and it is stated that
there are witnesses in Nottingham who can depose to
having seen Palmer and Lord George Bentinck toge-
ther for some time befcre the death of the latter.
London, England, 1856-10-21

SURREY THEATRE.

A new drama, entitled " Dred," and founded upos,
Mrs. Stowe's work of that name, was last night produced
at this theatre with decided success. The story in the
book is one of a very peculiar character, and presents no
small difficulties to the adapter for the stage.
The character of Dred has nothing in common with
the dull docile slave. It is a manly conception, and in
the bands of Mr. Creswick it came nearer to the noble
Moor Othello than to the class we hear so much about
as being slaves. He drops all the African stage peon-
liarities, and makes it a complete charawer in itself.
Uncle Tiff is the representative of Uncle Torn in the
present production, and the part was well filled by Mr.
Widdicomb. We have not space to say much about the
details further than that the incidents were well selected,
closely and carefully played, and highly applauded. In
a word, the whole is a good and faithful reproduction of
