NEW STRAND THEATRE.

The following address was delivered by Mr. Rayner last
evening :
_ .....

" Ladies and Gentlemen,—The management and direc-
tion of the New Strand Theatre, passing for a period out
of my hands with the close of this evening's performances,
I could not resist the impulse of appearing before you to
tender the acknowledgments of a greatful heart, for the
patronage, support, and approbation with which you have
honoured this establishment since our first entre into
public notice ; in a Theatre projected, planned, and com-
pleted within the short space of nine weeks, and tenanted
by a company exclusively- provincial, many faults and
errors which experience alone can remedy, have, I am
aware, been manifest, but whilst this is freely admitted on
one side, it ii pleasing to record the fact that those faults
and errors have invariably been screened by the veil of
your indulgent forbearance.

" To the Press I owe a deep c.nd lasting debt of grati-
tude, for its constant notice and commendation of our
humble efforts, but, above all, for its undeviating advocacy
of that cause, which, for the credit of the British nation,
and the honour of its literature, will soon, I trust, be
brought to a successful issue. For the information of the
curious, I beg to state that the management does not
change hands because the speculation has been unprofit-
able, for most assuredly, profit as well as pleasure has been
the mutual result of our labours, which in times so unge-
Mal to public amusements is, I fear, more than every es-
tablishment of the kind can boast of.

" Should the management of the fair Lady, who is
about to assume the Directorship:of your amusements, bear
any comparison with her talents as an actress azd vocalist,
the change will be as beneficial to ym; as, I trust, it will
be interesting to her.

" Wishing yo❑ the enjoyment of health and prosperity,
in the name of the performers and myself, I reluctantly,
but most respectfully, bid you farewell."

The new Strand Subscription Theatre opens
this evening, under the management of Mrs. WAyLETT,
who having engaged an efficient company, will, we doubt
not, experience the success se deserves.

ACCIDENT.—This morning about nine
o'clock a serious accident betel a man named JAMES
BRYANT, in the service of Messrs. J. and W. HAwEs,
soap manufacturers, in the Commercial-road, Christ-
church. The man was at work near the copper, which
was charged with materials for making soap, when by
some accident he was precipitated into its boiling con-
tents. He was speedily extricated in a most lamenta-
ble condition, being scalded almost to death, and con-
veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where his death is ex-
pected every moment.

NOVEL AND DREADFUL ACT OF SELF-
DESTRUCTION.-On Saturday night last a wretched crea-
ture terminated his existence at a lodging-house in Tros.
nant, near Pontypool, by deliberately cutting two inches
off his tongue. When the poor fellow was discovered.
which was about ten minutes after the act was committed,
he was sitting on the side of his bed, and the floor of the room
was absolutely saturated with clots of blood. Medical assist-
ance was immediately procured, when every means were
resorted to to arrest the excessive hemorrhage, which
brought on such exhaustion that on the following mornint
:heath put an end to his sufferings. An inquest was held
by T. HUGHES, Esq., Coroner, on the body, when a ver-
dict was returned of " Temporary derangement."—,lios-

TITHES-ATTEMPTED SALE OF CAT.
TLE-THE MILITARY-THE POLICE..

(From the Cork Southern Reporter.)
The determination to resist thepayment of Tithes,
which seems almost universal throughout several
large districts of this county, was exemplified yes-
terday in the most marked and unequivocal manlier.
It appears that the Rev. Mr. Freeman, rector of
Ardnageehy, had distrained fifteen cows from off the
lands of a comfortable farmer named Cotter, for
non-payment of tithe, due, it is said, on the Ist of
this month : and that, resolved on carrying the dis-
tress into operation, application was made to the
Government for military aid, in case such should
be necessary to effectuate the sale. Yesterday was
named for the auction, and Rathcormac settled on
as the place at which it should talc, At about
nine o'clock in the morning a park of artillery, with
two squadrons of lancers passed through this city
from Ballincollig ; they were joined by more cavalry,
and a large infantry force, all which, with over 200
police, presented an array of military strength that
gave the scene more the appearance of a country
engaged in open active warfare with its Govern-
ment and institutions, than for the protection of the
sale of a few old cows. We are told that the coun-
try people, for many miles round, were assembled,
and that but one feeling pervaded the vast multi-
tude—namely, an unalterable determination, as far
as they could contribute to the attainment of the ob-
jrct, " to extinguish tithes !" but to do so peace-
ably and constitutionally. When the arrangements
were completed, the auctioneer as.umed his func-
tions, the cattle were exhibited and offered for sale,
but there was no purchaser; not a man came for-
ward, notwithstanding that half the gentry of the
district, and almost all the magistrates were presei
" not a man," it is stated to us, " had Mc temerity
to purchase," arid, as a mattee of course, the sale
was adjourned. Up to this time assembled
thousands preserved perfect quiet; but when it was
announced that no one could be got to offer even
ltventy shillings for fifteen cows, the whole mass of
the people set up three tremendous cheers. The
cattle were driven off, the military and the police
marched to their respective quarters, and the cow*
try people soon dispersed.

AN EQUIVOCAL COMPLIINIENT.-Amongst
the spectators of the Grand Duchess HELENA while
changing horses at Chudleigh, on her late visit to this
country, was the worthy gauger, whose appearance at.
tracted the attention of the Grand Duchess so much,
that she desired one of her retinue to inquire who he was,
and on being informed, she observed to the ladies with her
that he bore a strong resemblance to titi, Grand Duke
MICHAEL, ani on the carriage driving off she saluted the
e,illant gauger in the most affable manner.— Western
Times.

On Saturday last a boy at a mcliool at Graves-
end died under the following melancholy circued:
On the preceding Sunday be had accidentally swallowed a
piece of India rubber, but concealed the fact for two or
three days, until a pain in the stomach induced him to
mention it, when medical aid A'ati immedi,iteiy resorted
to; nevertheless he died on Saturday, after enduring the
most excruciating torture.—Kent Herald.
NAPOLEON'S TOMB AT Si'. HELENA.—.
About half an acre lound the grave is railed in. The tomb
itself consists of a square stone, about ten feet by seven,
surrounded with a plain iron railing. Four or five weep-
ing willows, their stems leaning towards the grave, hang
their pensile branches over it. The willows are decaying
fast, and one of them rests upon the sharp spears of the
railing, which are buried in its trunk. Fresh cuttings
have, however, been planted by the Governor, who intends,
moreover, to set cypresses round the outer fence. Madame
BERTRAND'S immortelles have proved, alas ! mortal.
SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.— At Loch-
end, in this neighbourhood, a chase of a singular kind oc-
•urred on Wednesday. A young nit in ba:hinz in the lake,
Aserved a bird at the opposite bank, which he took tor a
winged duck, and swam towards it; but as he approached,
at dived and rose at some distance, which it repeated every
time he neared it, sometimes taking one of tease short
flights usual with this bird (a coot or water hen), flapping
the water with its wings. The young man continued. the
thase, and the bird renewed its di,ea
arid flights, each of
which grew shorter and shorter. tole its pursuer .

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

What a change has one little week produced !
The last Drawing-room was got up by tin
female Tories ; in the vain hope of proving ti
Royalty, that whatever might he the reception
afforded by the people, on the Tories they might
depend for countenance and support. To that
assembly flocked all the old and battered vete-
rans—covered with the honourable scars of mangy
Almack's campaign—old in their persons,
and antiquated in their prejudices. These vene-
rable relics of another age, ''in the plenitude of
their superannuated twaddle, fancied that their
furbelows and flounces, their bustles, and their
imbecillea, could prop up a sinking faction, and
impart a tinsel splendour to an almost unfur-
nished Throne. The failure was complete,
and we venture to predict, that if the late
happy restoration of glorious memory had
not taken place, our rouged grandmothers never
would have exhibited their tattered finery,
and their " appas postiches" at another Drawing-
room. Our good King happily retraced his
steps, and was reconciled to his people and his
Ministers. What was the result ? Eighteen
hundred of the best and noblest of the land at-
tended to celebrate his birth-day at St. James's
yesterday. In no country in the world could
such a show of youth, beauty, loyalty, and pa-
triotism have been exhibited. We ourselves had
the happiness of observing the benevolent ex-
pression of our good Monarch's countenance
when he witnessed the gorgeous array of the fair
and beautiful Liberals, who yesterday presented
themselves in crowds to commemorate his natal
day. Long may he live to bask in the sunshine
of their brilliant eyes, and long may our lovely
countrywomen know how to discriminate be-
tween loyalty and subserviency !—Morn. Chron.
We are glad to hear that the attendance at
the Drawing-room this morning was very great.
Many of the old Whig Nobility and Gentry
who have hitherto attended but rarely, or who
have abstained from these ceremonies, made a
point of marking by their presence, upon this
occasion, the respect which they consider to be
due to a constitutional Monarch. We trust
that this will not have been without its effect.
We trust that a comparison between the last
and the present occasion of this description will
not have been without its salutary lesson. Then
the half-filled reception-rooms exhibited a motley
mixture of battered dowagers, of hoary place-
men, and of expectant paupers. Now, the
saloons were crowded with the old Aristocracy
of England, anxious to give, by their presence,
a complete denial to the lying assertions of the
Tories, that in their worn-out party, or in their
miserable presence, consisted the dignity, the
splendour, and the support of the Throne. But
although we are glad that so different an attend-
ance should have marked the feeling entertained
by the true friends of the people amongst the
Aristocracy upon the successful overthrow of the
late Court intrigues, we are by no means inclined
to attach too much importance to it; and, above
all, we desire that undue weight may not be attached
to it by others, by those indeed most interested
in forming a correct judgment. It is not enough
that a Sovereign should command the respect
and obtain the affections of that class who can
attend at Drawing-rooms or vapour in the gilded
saloons of a Court. The hearts of a people
should be his, and those hearty testimonials of
affection and resp-eci—WriTch the people of this
country know so well how to afford, should at-
tend the presence and follow the footsteps of a
Monarch of England who desires to stand in
the proudest, aye, and in the only safe position
which becomes him. Is this so ? We wish
that we could say that it was. Unhappily it is
not ! Whenever Royalty has shown itself of
late, no cordial commendations, none of those
expressions of attachment—rude, perhaps, but
not less heartfelt—marked its progress or hailed
its presence. Silence or less equivocal symp-
toms of unpopularity waited on it. It will take
much time, it will take no little exertion to de-
stroy these impressions amongst the people.—
The Court, the Aristocracy, are now wisely
influenced by symptoms—the people require
facts—to regain their good opinion, a long
course of straightforward, of popular conduct
will be required. We do not wish to deceive.
A blow has been struck at the confidence of the
people, which it will require much to repair.
The nation feels that it has been deceived where
it reposed unbounded confidence. Its suspi-
cions have been roused—justly roused ; and no
blame can be attributed to those who, having
confided, having been deluded, are inclined to
adopt even an undue degree of suspicion towards
those who were, if not by their own will, at least
iytheir weakness, the authors of their disap-
pointment. How much, then, does it behove
those who can offer advice at the present junc-
ture to be plain spoken in their recommenda-
tion ? Any appearance of faltering, any suspi.
cions even of hesitation, would be fatal. Let
the Sovereign seem to have taken the Reform
Bill under his special protection—let him appear
to resist any alteration—let him stand forward as
the firm supporter of the Bill, the whole Bill,
and nothing but the Bill, and he may yet regain
that place in the affections of his people which
the events of the last three weeks have deprived
him of—he may again show himself in public,
attended even by his family, accompanied, as
before, by the grateful acclamations of his sub-
jects. We sincerely hope that such will be the
result.—Morning Chronicle.
It will be recollected with what difficulty Mi-
nisters at last removed Earl Howe from the situ-
ation of Chamberlain to her Majesty, though he
pertinaciously voted against Reform and the
Reform Bill. It would, indeed, have been con-
trary to all precedent if a Ministry had suffered
a state officer of the Queen-Consort to retain
his station whilst he voted and acted in opposi-
tion to the measures of the constitutional advisers
of the Crown. There was, therefore, no alter-
native but that either the Ministry must retire
before Earl Howe, or Earl Howe retire before
the Ministry ; and, accordingly, the latter event
tardily took"' place. But to this day the situa-
tion of Chamberlain has never been filled up ;
from which some are disposed to infer that her
Majesty has found the office unnecessary, and
that the salary will from henceforth be saved.—
We, however, are sorry to see the antique splen-
dour of the Crown diminished from whatever
cause, and we do not know that any existing
Queen of England has a right to deprive the
elevated station which, either through her own
or her husband's demise, can appertain to her but
for a brief space, of those dignities with which
the loyalty of the people has thought it neces-
sary to surround it. However, we touch this
matter en passent. Lord Howe was very justly
and constitutionally forced hum his office, and
no successor has been appointed. Now let the
contrast be marked. Her Majesty's Attorney
and Solicitor-General, Pepys and John Williams,
thought themselves bound, by principle, to re-
sil):11 their situations at the moment when Lord
