PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new comedietta was produced here last night,
and one could readily perceive, from its light and
gauzy texture, that it came from a French workshop.
Lorimer (Mr.
The title of this little piece is the Widow Bewitched.
The imbroglio is trifling, but it serves to bring out
some very happyscenes. Mr. Eustace
Granby) leaves his wife (Mrs. Stirling), and is re-
ported to be dead. Mr. Clement Furnival (Mr. W.
Lacy) fancies that the supposed widow is in love with
him. She, on her part, seeks to obtain his hand for
her niece (Miss E. Honner).
The husband returns
in the meantime, and his jealousy is excited
unreasonable jealousy, and
at the intimacy whi▪
ch exists between his
wife and Furnival. Her object being to cure
her husband of his
the intended husband of her niece of his coxcombry,
plays off tours d' habilite upon both, and succeeds in
both objects. As might be anticipated from this out-
line, the piece afforded some very effective scenes, in
which the high excellenci▪
es of that talented actress,
Mrs. Stirling, were brought out to great advantage.
She worked a vicenda upon the jealousy of her hus-
band, and on the silliness of her lover, with a perfect
knowledge of her powers, and a complete mastery of
her art. Like the famous winners in the boat-race,
she triumphs, because she is conscious of her power.
The piece was announced for repetition till further
notice.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.—There are now only
110 persons in Whitecross-street Prison, about the same
number in the Queen's Prison, and only 25 in Horse-
monger-lane Gaol, making the number of persons con-
fined for debt in the metropolitan prisons about 250.
Some time ago, nearly 400 were confined in Whitecross-
street Prison. It is understood that the country prisons

end ; Almariva ran a bye.
FIRST TIES FOR OAES.—Laudanum (late Henbane)

LOCAL LEGISLATION.—The Gazette of last night
extends to the extraordinary length of seven sheets, and
is almost entirely occupied with " notices" for Railway
Bills ; among which, some others of greater interest are
not unlikely to escape observation. The New Zealand
Company are to apply for enlargement and amendment
of the powers conferred by their charter, and for the
granting to them of " further and other powers, rights,
and privileges ;" and also " for regulation of the con-
veying of lands in the colony to and by the Company."
Several Inclosure Bills are mentioned—one for Not-
tingham. There appear to be projects for erecting a
new bridge over the Floating Harbour in Bristol ; for
enabling the London and Birmingham Company to raise
more capital : for the improvement of the harbours of
Harwich and Lowestoffe (in connexion with railways) ;
for regulating further the police, of Birmingham ; for
giving small debt courts to Devonshire ; for the further
improvement of Bridgewater, Newcastle, &c. Among
the plans connected with the metropolis, may be men-
tioned that for forming an embankment along the
Thames from Vauxhall to Battersea. New streets are
also projected from Westminster to Pimlico (abolishing
the " Almonries" and other low places in Westminster),
and from Lothbury to London-wall (with some " colon-
nades"), and other minor improvements.
WINDSOR JUNCTION RAILWAY.—WINDSOR, Nov.
13.—1 n consequence of the preliminary arrangements of
this undertaking having been' commenced at so late a
period, yesterday being the last day for giving the usual
notices in the London Gazette, and so many questions
and interests of a delicate nature being involved, the
provisional committee came to the following resolution :
—" That inasmuch as the committee, after the greatest
diligence and anxiety, have not hitherto obtained the
definite consent of the Crown to their undertaking, so
as to enable them to proceed to Parliament in the en-
suing session, they have found it necessary to adjourn
their further proceedings until the subsequent session,
when they trust they shall be enabled more completely
to carry into effect the intentions of the promoters of
the project ; and that the secretary be requested to send
a copy of this resolution to the sub,cribers, who will
receive intimation of future proceedings at the earliest
moment."
SIR HENRY POTTINGER.-011 Tuesday morning
Mr. Gilpin, master of the Merchant Tailors' Company,
introduced by Major-General Dyson, waited on Sir
Henry Pottinger, to tender him the freedom of that Com,
pany, which has been the first mark of mercantile appro-
