COVENT-GARDEN.-Mr. S. KNOWLES
has taken a benefit, and we regret to be obliged to say,
that it was not what is termed a " bumper." We are
sorry on several grounds, because to some it may appear
that the best dramatic authors are not supported by the
public, while.to others it may seem that the taste of the
public is vitiated. Such are our reasons for regrettin
that the house was not full ; but we can divine the reason
why it was net, and we hope it will be allowed to be a
solid one (to Covent-Garden, we know it is). The
Hunchback has been performed for some weeks, and
every night has the house been crowded. The leading
actors, such as Miss FANNY KEMBLE, &c., have had it
played for their benefits, and there has been from 3001. to
700/. paid into the treasury every night. Mr. S.
KNowLas, however, delays his benefit until the greater
portion of the town has witnessed the play, and then it is
said the public treat him ill, because he has not the most
crowded house of the season. No ! no! We should have
been glad had Mr. S. KNowLEs had a good hit ; but as
it is, the public are not to blame. By the way, we must
not forget to state, that we are to lose CHARLES KEMBLE
and his daughter next season, as they have entered into an
engagement to go to America.— The Original.

The Conclusion of MADAME JUNOT'S MEMOIRS.

THE SEA OF MATRIMONY.—A gallant
youth belonging to "this quarter," by some means or other
found it practicable to court a winsome lass in Borrow-
stounness, and went up the Firth the other day to consum-
mate his bliss. The happy pair returned by a Stirling
boat on Thursday, with flags and pennants streaming in
honour of the occasion, and so exhilarated was the young
gudetnau, that he " jamp laverock height " on the deck of
the steamer, and was with difficulty prevented from per-
petrating an act of flirtation with the mermaids beneath
the paddle-wheels! The exuberance of his joy bad not
evaporated when the boat reached the chain-pier, and be-
fore she had rightly hove to, the anti-Malthusian—" brisk
as a bee, and light as a fairy"*---made a leap intended to
terminate on the landing-place, but his eye not being in a
State to calculate distances to a nicety, plump went the
" brisk gudeman" into the fickle deep! The bride
screamed with fear, and the passengers with laughter,
while the unfortunate wight was taking matters very coolly
underneath. He was, however, soon rescued from his
untoward dip, and in place of being carried to the Humane
Society, where his suspended animation might have un-
haPpily been restored, he was consigned " a sadder and a
better man" to the humane society of his wife.— Scotsman.
THUNDER STORM.—Tuesday last this county,
as also were many parts of England, was visited with a
terrific thunder storm. In this town, about five in the
afternoon, the storm was at its height. At the residence of
the Misses WituAmsorr, in the Eastgate-street, the elec-
tric fluid entered one of the chambers, severing from its
position against the wall a door frame, and descending
into a room below, where it came into contact with one ,
of the female domestics, who was scouring a door. The
brush she was using was shivered to atoms, and she her-
self was deprived almost entirely of tl e use of one side.
A surgeon was immediately sent for, and the young wo-
man has now recovered the use of her limbs. Into other
rooms of the house the subtile fluid appears to have pene-
trated : the picture frames were tarnished, and several of
the inmates felt a shock of the electric fluid. Walsall was
visited by a violent storm of thunder and lightning on
Tuesday afternoon, the rain descending in torrents for
nearly two hours, to the great annoyance of the holyday
folk aeseinbled at the Whitsun fair. A building recently
erected- for a warehouse in Able well-street, belonging to
Messrs• Cowtrr and DIXON, was so deluged by the water
from the adjoining hills, that the foundation gave way
about six in the evening ; fortunately no person was on
the premium In the vicinity of Liverpool the damage
done by the thunder-storm on Tuesday was considerable ;
and at Walton, the electric fluid struck two industrious
men, were mowing, and, affrighted by the storm, sought
shelter under a tree ; their fancied security was but short-
lived ; one was killed upon the spot, and the other, named
MATTlrews, so dangerously injured that little hopes re-
main of his recovery. The shop of a currier, of Marybone,
Liverpool, was likewise struck, and much damaged. The
windows were skien from their frames, and the brick-
work partially thrown down. A child named BATSON
Was looking out of the attic story and received such in-
itiry, her side being frightfully scorched, that her life is

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1832.

Their MAJESTIES will arrive at St. James's
Palace, from Windsor Castle, on Monday next,
preparatory to their attendance at the grand ball
to be given by the Duke of WELLINGTON, at
Apsley House, on Tuesday night, and to holding
a Levee on the following day.

Several Irish Members had a long interview
this morning with Lord ALTHORP, at his official
residence in Downing•street.

We hope Government will at length see the
necessity of doing something like justice to
Ireland. It is worth their while to try the
experiment, if only for the novelty of the thing.
Hitherto that much aggrieved country has been
made the victim of every species of legislative
quackery. It has had SAINT JOHN LONGS
without number to prescribe for it. First
blistering, then blood-letting, now an opiate,
and now a stimulant, there has been really no
end to the State nostrums with which, from
time immemorial, Ireland has been drenched,
and our only wonder is that the poor thing has
so long survived the shock. But, fortunately
she possesses as many lives as a cat, or Messrs.
PEEL and GOULBURN—to say nothing of Mr.
STANLEY--must infallibly have been her death.
Of all the grievances, however, which it has
been the sister country's lot to endure, one of
the greatest is unquestionably the Reform Bill.
It is a change from bad to worse, from rotten
boroughs to rotten counties. As for bestowing
an extended suffrage on the people, it does no such
thing; it bestows that privilege chiefly on wealthy
absentees, who are about as competent to legislate
for their countrymen as for Ashantees. In fact,
the Bill acts on the principle that Irishmen are
not to be trusted ; that they are a branded race,
and to be dealt with accordingly. While the
Government invites England and Scotland to a
dainty feast, and treats them with the very best
its means will allow, it compels Ireland to con-
tent herself with a sorry meal of bread and
water. This conduct will never do. It may
be " conservative," as Mr. CRAMPTON calls it,
but it will be " conservative" only of the
spirit of agitation and repeal. To legis-
late efficiently for Ireland, Government should
legislate for the many, not the few. It should
also be generous, for in this particular instance,
the very excess of generosity amounts to little
more than simple justice. The blunders of
the Tories should not be redressed by the
Whigs in a Tory spirit. And yet it is in this
very spirit that Ministers are now legislating
for Ireland. They fling her a niggardly Reform
Bill, as a beggar flings a bone to a cur. They
tie her legs and clap a muzzle on her mouth, and
then wonder that she does not leap and shout
with ecstacy. Such conduct, we repeat, will never
do. No half-and-half, no bit-by-bit, no little-
as-needs-be Reform will now suit Ireland. She
is as much entitled to fair-play as either Eng-
land or Scotland. She has petitioned for us,
sympathised with us, fought for us, and should
have equal cause to rejoice with us. As at pre-
sent constituted, the Irish Reform Bill is nei-
ther more nor less than a Bill for encouraging
the Repeal of the Union. It has been evi-
dently drawn up with a view of strengthening
Mr. O'CONNELL'S power and popularity, to
whom, we suppose, Ministers feel themselves
under such deep obligations that they take this
opportunity of crying quits with him.

We are glad to perceive that the old nationa
predilection in favour of an illumination is fast
dying away, and that the people are beginning
to find out at last that tallow candles and ten-
penny lamps are not the best means of express-

ing popular joy. There is, indeed, something
supremely ridiculous in the idea of a great, intel-
lectual :illation, exulting through the me-
dium of mould candles stuck three or four in a
window, with a servant behind to keep them
well snuffed, or a huge illuminated " W. R EX"
thrust outside a first floor, and smelling horribly
of train oil. Such an exhibition is the very bur-
lesque of popular enthusiasm. Better—far
better is it to feed the hungry and clothe the
naked, to cheer the poor man's fire-side, chase

the cloud from the father's brow, to bid the
mother look up and smile, and feel that her
children are not wholly forsaken, than to per-
fume all England with the odour of a Green-
land whale-ship.

The Metropolitan Districts are already busily
at work in hunting up " good men and true'
to serve in the Reformed Parliament. They
may rely on it they cannot be too diligent or
too persevering in their exertions, nor can
other boroughs too promptly follow their
example, for the Ultras have been stirring
heaven and earth for the last month past,
to shuffle a few of their " own set" into the new
House of Commons. The districts of Fins-
bury, and the Tower Hamlets met yesterday for
the purpose of considering the nature of the
pledges they should propose to those who stood
candidates for their suffrages.

The following are extracts from Dutch and
German Papers received this morning :

Trtx HAGUE, JUNE 19.—Last night his Royal High-
ness Prince Frederick of the Netherlands set out for
Berlin. It is said that he will make but a short stay in
that city and return with his consort and daughter. Her
Royal Highness the Princess of Orange, with her sons
and the young Princess, is gone to Soetsdyk. The anni-
versary of the victory of Waterloo was celebrated here
yesterday with the usual rejoicings. According to article
139 of the fundamental law, the assemblies of the several
provinces are to meet on the sth of July, to elect deputies
to the Second Chamber of the States General, in the room
of the third part of the members whose turn it is to go out.
. In consequence of further accounts respecting the cho-
lera in Great Britain and Ireland, the following modifica-
tions have been made with reference to the existing ordi-
nances :—Sunderland to be again reckoned among places
suspected. Ships from that port to be treated on the
same footing as those from Newcastle. The ports of
Lynn as well as Yarmouth and Hull to be reckoned among
the places infected ; the order by which the whole English
coast between Harwich and the Tees was declared to be sus-
pected, remains in force.

All Ireland, so far as a port has not already been
declared infected (which order is maintained), shall be
considered as suspected, with the exception of the counties
of Limerick and Galway, which are declared to be infected.
Ships from the above places, arriving in the ports and
harbours of this kingdom, are accordingly subject to
fifteen or seven days' quarantine respectively.
Bois-LE-Dix, JUNE 18.--We hear that the head-
quarters will be removed this week to Tilbury, where
they will remain six weeks, and then come back to this
place. The inhabitants in whose houses the officers are
quartered, have bees requested to keep their apartments
for them.

BATAVIA, FEB. 7.—ln the course of January and
February, heavy rains, and subsequent inundations, have
done great damage in many parts of Java. The moun-
tain Geger Biutang, has partly sunk down in three
places; the extent of which is together 4,400 square rods.
On the 23d of January, a part of the mountain Goenarg
liongkok sunk down, in consequence of which the water
in the rivers Tymondaine, Tysimoet, became red like
blood, and the fish were killed. The waters have,
however, sensibly subsided within these few days.

LEGHORN, JUNE B.—Letters from Smyrna of the
16th May, which have come by sea, speak of the taking
of St. Jean d'Acre ; at the same time they say that both
the land and naval forces of the Sultan are in such bad
condition that the Pacha of Egypt need not fear
them. On the other hand we have accounts from
Alexandria of the Bth of May, from which it appears
that the supposed fall of Acre was not known there. The
caravans did not come from Gedda, people being afraid
under present circumstances to send goods to Egypt.
The Egyptian troops in those parts seem to be on the
point of openly rebelling against the Pacha; some time
ago they mutinied, because their pay was iu arrear, and
now they are afraid to comply with the order to return to
Egypt. Money begins to be scarce in Egypt, and even
produce is not abundant. M. Linaut, a Frenchman,
affirms that he has found near Cossier, on the Red Sea, an
old gold mine, which he says is very rich, yielding 15 per
cent.; a quantity of the ore has been sent Cairo to be exa-
mained. The object of the Pacha's expedition to the south
always was in part the discovery of gold mines, and he for-
merly had a search made on the coast of the Red Sea, where
it is said there were gold mines in the time of the Pharaohs.
lie is the more rejoiced at the discovery of this source of
wealth at so critical a moment.

The executions at Cairo continue, and the dead bodies
(with the beads placed between the legs) are left i❑ the
streets to be devoured by the dogs.

It is said, the Pacha hopes that in the worst that hap.
pens to him, the European Powers will interfere in his
favour.—.Allgemeine Zeitung, June 16.
WARZZURG, JUNE 11.—In consequence of an order
received yesterday from Munich, some companies of the
12th Regiment, which is in garrison here, are going to
form a sanitary cordon against the cholera, which being
at Erfurth, threatens to approach our frontiers.
We receive afflicting accounts from the Circle of the
Rhine. It is said that the military force is to be aug-
mented, and the Circle declared in a state of siege.
Letters from Coblentz of June 13, confirm the news
that the fourth corps of the Prussian army, which was to
return to its garrison, has received counter orders.—

A BANKRUPT CORPORATION.--Friday the
mace belonging to our Corporation was sold by public
auction in the County Court House, for the eum of SIL
Is., under a writ of fieri facias. Sic transit sdoria

DOUBTFUL FRIENDS.—What a solitary
person is Colonel so and so, observed Mr. P. to a com-
mon acquaintance. How so, said the latter, I just left him
with two of his very particular friends. Indeed ! replied
the other, who were they ?—His wine and his snuff-box,
was the brief and pungent reply.

The Viscount de CHATEAUBRIAND, the
Duke de FlTz.r.ames, and Count Hyde de NEUVILLE un-
derwent another examination on Monday. It is said that
the Noble Viscount learned, on Friday evening, at nine
o'clock, that he was to he arrested the next morning.
Ile went to bed at that hour as usual, and on the following
morning the police-officers found him in his bed. He
made an apology for detaining them whilst he dressed
himself:—" I knew very well, Gentlemen," said he,
" that you were to come, and ought to have been ready ;
but I sleep soundly, and therefore waited till you knocked.
I beg you a thousand pardons for making you wait."

ROBBERY AND SUICIDE.— An inquest was
yesterday held in Giltspur-street Compter, en the body of
Josertr FINCH, aged 36, a porter to Mr. HONEYBALL.
Manchester warehouseman, of Cheapside. On Wednesday
afternoon he was taken to the Compter on a charge of
robbing Mr. HONEYBALL. A gentleman had given in-
formation, that goods of Mr. HoNerwates peculiar pat-
tern had been sold at a price much below the manufac-
turing price. Deceased, on being charged, changed colour,
and said his wife had instigated him to the robbery. He
had been in Mr. HowEvrALL's service for eight years, and
always been considered an honest men. He was in very
low spirits at tho Compter, and would not be comforted by
his fellow-prisoners. He seemed unable to sleep, and at a
quarter before seven o'clock yesterday morning, a prisoner,
named TAYLOR, discovered him in his shirt, banging by
neckcloth, to some bannisters in a passage leading to the
ward. The body was quite warm, but the deceased was
dead. Verdict, Temporary Derangement.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

TILE KING V. IiARLOw.

This was an indictment at the instance of Mr. William
Whalley, an attorney, of Stafford, charging the defendant
with wilful and corrupt perjury. The defendant pleaded
Not Guilty.
The circumstances out of which this indictment arose
were briefly these :—Mr. Wm. Whalley had been em-
ployed as attorney for the plaintiffs in a suit in which
Francis Wynne and Sarah, his wife, as administrator
and athninistratrix of Thomas Whetton, deceased,
sought to recover some property from Thomas Whetton,
the younger. The action was brought .in the Court of
Exchequer, and some questions having arisen as to the
conduct of Mr. Whalley, he was required to make an
affidavit in answer to them. In that affidavit he swore
that he had never offered that if Mr. Whetton gave him
301. or 151. he would refrain from executing the warrant
then issued against Mr. Whetton, and also that he never
asked Mr. Whetton to assign to him (Whalley) his (Whet-
ton's) interest in a certain estate called Butterbank, upon
the withdrawal of the warrant. Upon this affidavit, which
was alleged in regard to those circumstances to be false,
Mr. Whalley was indicted at the Middlesex Sessions for
perjury, and was convicted. Upon that occasion two
persons, named Barlow, (the present defendant) and Mary
Hayward, were the chief witnesses, and indictments ha-
ving been preferred against them for perjury, at the in-
stance of Mr. Whalley, the two causes were fixed to be
tried this morning.
Sir J. SCARLET; (with whom was Mr. Talfourd) in
addressing the Jury for the prosecution, said that look-
ing at the evidence given on the trial of his client, at
Hicks's Hall, he was perfectly at a loss to conceive how the
Jury could have found a verdict of guilty. There were
however many points of evidence then detailed which
took Mr. Whalley quite by surprise, and which he was
then wholly unprepared with witnesses to rebut, particu-
larly the evidence of a discarded clerk. However, he was
to•dav prepared with evidence to show that what he
swore in the Court of Exchequer was perfectly true. Mr.
Whalley however being now under conviction could not
be a witness himself, but that disadvantage would he coun-
teracted by the evidence of a sufficient number of persons
who would prove the perfect fairness of his conduct.
The prosecutor's brother having produced a copy of his,
the prosecutor's conviction at Hick's Hall, on the 30th
September,
Mr. WIIITCOMBE, for the defendant Barlow, took a
legal objection to the indictment. The indictment upon
which Mr. Whalley was tried, contained four material
questions, on which perjury was assigned, of which two
were supported by evidence. The only two material
questions were, Ist, whether on the hearing of the rule
in the Exchequer, Whalley had said if Whetton
would give him 301. or 151., or any other sum,
he would withdraw the warrant; and 2d, whether
Whalley said if Whetton would assign to like his
interest in the Butterbank property, he would not
execute the warrant. The averment in the present
indictment blended those two questions in one, and there-
fore the present indictment involved an element over and
above either of those questions. The question here al.
leged to be material could not have been the material ques-
tion in the orignal indictment.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT having replied to the objection,

Lord TENTERDEN examined the two indictments,
and the evidence bearing upon the former one, and said
he was decidedly of opinion that the objection was fetal to
this indictment, and therefore that the defendant must be
acquitted. He was also of opinion that Mr. Whalley
should never have been convicted upon the original indict-
ment. He did not know whether that opinion would
avail Mr. Whalley elsewhere or not, but he should be pre-
pared to repeat that opinion at any time.—The defendant
was then acquitted.
