ADELPHI.

The Dream at Sea, a drama by Mr. Buckstone, was
produced yesterday evening. The scene is in Cornwall,
and turns upon Launce Lynwood (Mr. Vining) being for-
bidden the house of the father of Ann Trevanion (Miss
Daly), to whom he has been betrothed, and his saving the
life of his rival, Richard Penderell (Mr. Hemming) from
the hands of the wrecker, Black Ralph (Mr. 0. Smith),
who subsequently on the marriage of Penderell, conce4s
himself in the house of the father, robs it, and strikes the
bride to the earth. She is supposed to be murdered by
her lover Launce, who has left the country, but returned,
influenced by a dream, in time to bear the weight of the
cliarm'e of murder. He determines to exhumate the body of
Ann Trevanion, which he does, and conceals it in his hovel,
where he attempts, after the most approved Parisian me-
thod, to die by the fumes of charcoal. The lady revives,
having been interred with undue precipitation, but only in
time to be carried off by Black Ralph, while the posse
commitatus apprehend LaunceLynwood. Launce, how-
ever, escapes ; and, for the support of the probable, again
supposes—or, to express it dramatically, a " thought rushes
into his mind"—that his lady-love has been carried to the
Pandeen Van, or haunted cave. Inspired with this notion
he hurries to the cave, finds the lady and Black Ralph,
who is dying. The pursuers of the murderers arrive, and
the testimony of Ralph acquits Launce, while the husband
of Ann Trevanion assigns his wife to the protection of her
preserver. Morality and the probability of this story did
not prevent the audience of the Adelphi from testifying
their loud approbation ; and the piece was annouced for re-
petion.

On Thursday last, John Armstrong, bellman, other-
wise " Amen," was summoned before the magistrates at the
Town-ball, for posting upon the Main Guard one of the
bills calling a public meeting of the burgess-that-are-to-be
at the Grey Goat Inn. Armstrong was fined .55., upon
which the costs•amounted only to 10s., which he was re-
quired to pay upon the spot, or go to prison. He, how-
ever, had no money, and begged bard for time ; but the re-
quest was cut short with " Po! po ! po!—off off !—you
want to take the town to yourselves before the time !"

LIVERPOOL ENDOWMENT JOB.—It has Oozed,
out, that, while the churches were at least to be endowed
up to the present amount of stipend received by the seve-
ral clergymen attached to them, the senior appointment of
St. George's, held by the Rev. J. Monk, was to have been
cut down from 400 guineas to 300. A great number
of agreeable reflections present themselves to the mind,
when we ponder over this intention. 1. It must be ob-
izrved, that Mr. Monk has no relations amongst the Coun-
cilmen. 2. It must be remarked, that what was saved.by
not endowing St. George's to the full amount of the pre-
sent stipend, would have reduced the sum required for the
endowment of the Rectors, who are relations to some of
the Councilmen. 3. It may be asked, why it was not
contemplated to reduce the stipend of the junior as well
as the senior minister of St. George's ? To which it
may be answered, that the Rev. Gerard Leigh is the junior
minister, and any attempt to reduce his stipend would have
disgusted his brother. Mr. Leigh, his brother-in-law Mr.
Hollinshead, his cousin Mr. Shaw, and five or six members
who always vote with those gentlemen, and thus the job
would have been defeated.L-LiviTpoo/ Albion.
WIFE-SEEKING BY ADVERTISEMENT.—A. M.
Hartmann some three months ago came to Paris from
Frankfort, to improve himself in th French lawruage, and,
being engaged in commerce, imagined be might make a
profitable bargain by answering an advertisement inserted
in the Petites Aches by Messrs. Deschamps and Tazard,
offering to effect marriages with young and rich heiresses,
or handsome and liberally endowed widows. The credu-
lous German, little aware of the tricks of this capital, went
to the office of Messrs. Deschamps and Tazard, who, after
naming many wealthy dames they said they bad at their
disposal, obtained from their dupe a sum of 50 francs, giv-
ing him an engagement to return the money if a marriage
to the satisfaction of the merchant was not effected within
the month. They carried the farce so far as to introduce
to him at their office a fair lady, who declared that she was
possessed of a splendid fortune, the whole of which she
would leave to her intended husband if he treated her
kindly. M. Hartmann, however, could never obtain a pri-
vate interview with the lady, and this and other circum-
stances arousing suspicions, he made inquiries, and soon
discovered that she was already a married woman, and a
mere confederate in the attempt to defraud him. He pro-
secuted the male swindlers, who were to have appeared
yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, but
made default, and were each sentenced to 12 months' im-
prisonment, to pay a fine of 50 frs., and to restore to M.
Hartman the 50 frs. they had cheated him out of, or re-
maid in prison a further term of six months'.--Galignani. •
