Ewen Macdougal, Writer and Baron Clerk
to the Marquis of Breadalbane,died on the 25th ult. at Ardtala-

craig, Lochtayside, aged 85. Ewen was well known as the best
antiquarian cicerone to all travellers in the Highlands.
It is said that the Russian Ambassador at
Rome has drawn up a protest against the French expedition
into Italy, and that it has been approved by the Austrian Am-
bassador ; but the minute of approval is conceived in such am-
biguous terms as to show that it is merely to save appearances.

The Superb steamer sailed on Friday morn-
ing with Portuguese emigrants from Falmouth, to join the
expedition of Don Pedro at Terceira. As the Superb left the
harbour a tri-coloured balloon was set off with the following
inscription :—" The Portuguese emigrants at Falmouth leave
the shores of sweet England with true feelings of gratitude."
—Falmouth Packet.

NEW STRAND THEATRE.-Last Flight the
Dumb Brigand was represented for the first time at this theatre,
for the purpose of introducing Madame Celeste. This lady
personated the Brigand Chief, and also a Greek Sailor, and ap-
peared to great advantage, her dress and action being highly
characteristic. At the fall of the curtain the applause was
great, and Madame Celeste was called for by the audience. She
accordingly appeared, and being not well acquainted with the
English language, testified her gratitude by curtsies, and by de-
claring in broken English, that the drama would be repeated
this evening. The scenery, music, and dresses in the piece
were highly applauded.

SADLER'S WELLS.-Last night this house
was, at an early hour, crowded in every part, to witness the
revival of Torn and Jerry. The whole of the characters were
well and naturally assumed : Campbell's Corinthian Tom was a
gentlemanly performance ; Foster, as .Terry, was amusing ;
and W. IL Williams's Logic (introducing an entirely new
comic song by J. Beuler) was the life and soul of the piece.
The Distraining for Rent, founded upon Wilkie's celebrated
pictures of the " Rent day," and " Distraining for Rent," ter-
minated the evening's amusements.

COBURG THEATRE.—A new Drama, in
three acts, was last night produced, entitled Paul Cletird,
taken of course from Mr. Bulwer's Novel of the same name.
The original has been pretty closely adhered to ; and most of
the scenes are interesting and effective. The prominent cha-
racters were supported with great talent by Messrs. Serle,
Simpson, Webster, and Gray, all of whom were so characteris-
tically dressed as to seem actual persons of the time in which
the scene is laid. The piece, however, needs considerable cur.
taihnent, for the double reason of its dulness in some parts and
the unwarrantable time which it occupies.

ROYAL PAVILION THEATRE.----The " ro-
mantic magical burletta," as the play-bills have it, called The
Demon Father, or the Devil and his Son, was produced last
night, and met with an excellent reception. The principal part
of the music is selected from Meyerbcer's Opera of Robert le
Diable, the remainder is furnished by Woolf, decidedly upon
the style of Weber, and with no inconsiderable mastery. To
give additional effect to the cathedral scene, a grand organ has
been erected by Bunting, and it answered the purpose admir-
ably. Of the scenery it is impossible to speak in too high
terms. The cloister scene by Leitch, from Edinburgh, is not
inferior to anything of the sort except Stanfield's at Drury.
lane. We have little to say of the actors. What Farrell had
to do as Raimbaut he did cleverly, as usual. Freer's requisites
for the Demon are sound and undeniable, and he played the
part excellently.

We give the following, which we have on
good authority, as a specimen of the indignities to which our
good Monarch is occasionally suluected. Some time since a
Noble Marquis made application for an audience with his Ma-
jesty, for the purpose of presenting an anti-reform petition.
His Majesty being at Brighton, named a day, and accompa-
nied it with a gracious invitation to dinner at the Pavilion, in-
timating that he would receive his Lordship with the address
at half-past six o'clock, in order that it might not interfere
with dinner, which was always punctually served at seven.
The appointed hour arrived, but with it came no Marquis of
—; and after waiting till half-past seven his Majesty sat
down to dinner. At half-past eight the Noble Marquis made
his appearance, and his Majesty, with infinite courtesy, with-
drew with him into a private room, and received the address.
Whether the Noble Marquis ventured upon his usual round of
invective we have not the means of ascertaining ; but we
rather suppose that what there passed is best known and per-
haps better kept to the Noble Marquis himself.—Herald.

The Dean of is notorious as always
fishing for a Bishopric ; and in allusion to this circumstance,
when Luttrell was lately asked to what family the Very Rev.
Gent. belonged. " I do not know," replied the wit ; but I
take it for granted, that he is some relation to the Marquis of
Angle-sca (see).—Freeman's Journal.

EUGENE ARAM, BY THE AUTHOR OF

" PELHAM."—Mr. Bulwer, the author of the volumes now be-
fore us, has been for some time acknowledged as one of Britain's
most original and able novelists. But his literary reputation is
not confined within the narrow boundaries of the land or the

language in which he has written his fictions. The fame of
Bulwer has crossed the Straits of Dover, and traversed the
German Ocean; for not a few of his works are at present to he
found enshrined in the tongues that are spoken on the banks of

the Seine and the Elbe. To acquire a British reputation in
any of the walks of literature, presupposes the possession of
talents of no ordinary kind, but for an Englishman to obtain a
continental literary fame is the fate of few, and augurs for the
most part the possession of that rare, though often misnamed
mental quality—true genius. In 1829, a translation of " Pel-
ham," from the pen of C. Richard, we know, was printed at
Leipsic, and a translation of " Paul Clifford" by the same
hand, and published in the same city, appeared in 1830. In
addition to these facts we may mention, that from a conversa-
tion we had last autumn with the able editor of the Literatur
Blatt, published at Stuttgart, we were led to conclude that

:he novels of Bulwer were held in the highest estimation

throughout Germany, and in the opinion of several of the most
accomplished critics, were considered in many points of view
equal to the romances of Sir Walter Scott."—Scotsman.

MEETING OF THE SPITALFIELDS WEA-
N ERs.—Last Saturday night, pursuant to adjournment, a very
numerous meeting of the journeymen silk.weavers of Spital-
fields and its vicinity took place at the Camden's Head, Bethnal-
green-road. It appeared that the late victory obtained in the

House of Commons over Mr. Poulett Thompson and the advo-
cates of a free trade system, by the appointment of a Committee
of Inquiry to examine into the real causes of the distress in
the silk trade, has had the effect of raising the drooping spirits
of the silk-weavers; and if a judgment were to be formed from
tire beaming smile on their countenances, all their late distress
and misery seemed to be forgotten. The main object of the
meeting was to select witnesses to go before the Committee ;
and although no official summons has yet been issued, still they
are daily expected. Several excellent speeches were delivered,
during which the admirers of the Ricardo school of a free trade
system came in for a share of public indignation. The meeting
then separated.—Morning Paper.
LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY.--An adjourned
meeting of creditors under the fiat of bankruptcy issued against
Mr. Leech of the London Coffee-house, took place yesterday at
the Court of Commissioners, when the bankrupt was privately
examined and some debts proved. Amongst them was one by
Alderman Copeland for China, &c. The total amount is calcu-
lated at 100,000/.
DOMESTICATED OTTER.—About a year
ago, Mr. Lauglison, Burnside of Dunscore, captured a pair of
young otters in a cleft of the bank of the Nith, near Dalswin-
ton. One of them died shortly after its admission into civi-
lized society, but the other has thriven nearly as well as if
tinder the tutorage of its natural guardians, and at the present
time is the greatest natural curiosity in the district. In the
early days of its captivity, Mr. Laughlison sent the otter to
mess with his collie, and though it agreed with the fare pass-
ing well, her ottership early showed a predilection for aquatic
exercises, and may now be considered one of the best fishers
in the Nith. The first fish it will on nto account part with,
and Mr. Laughlison considers it as much as his fingers
are worth, to attempt using an argument per force in
this case ; but all succeeding spoils are willingly rendered
up. Water-hens, eels, frogs, &c., are all regarded as
prey in the otter's vocabulary, and, in short, when
on her amphibious prowl, all is fish that comes in', the
net. She is noted as a worrier, but yet displays no fear of the

lison has bestowed considerable pains in the tuition of his dumb
protege, and is requited by all the attachment that is known
to an otter's heart ; she follows hint about, fondles him with
many winning, arts, and but for the stickling anent the first
fish, might be regarded as in a better course of training than a
