HAYMARKET THEATRE.
This theatre closed last night, after an unusually pro-
tracted season, the result of which, we are happy to
perceive, has been very favourable to the interests of the
management, while it must have been no less so to the
numerous establishment which the tact and enterprise
of Mr. Webster keeps so well and so constantly em
ployed. The performances were the Taming of the
Shrew, the Trumpefer's
,Daughter, and the Milliner's
Holiday. The incident of the evening was of
course the farewell address of the manager,
which is far more buoyant and cheerful in
its tone than very many theatrical and managerial
farewells we have had occasion to listen to. We sin-
cerely congratulate Mr. Webster on the success of his
exertions, and the extent of the support be has received,
both which, as appears by the following he gracefully
alludes to : _ _

Ladies and Gentlemen,—ln times when it is supposed
that the drama is in the last stage of decline, it is with
more than ordinary feelings of pride thatl have to thank you
for the patronage which enables me to close a most profit-
able season of upwards of 400 nights, not having had oc-
casion to mulct the performers of one night's salary, even
for a rehearsal ; and I should confidently proceed with-
out the slightest interval but for the necessary repairs
and cleansing, consequent upon the length of a season
unparalleled in the annals of legitimate theatres. The
offer of a prize of 500/., with large contingent advantages,
for a comedy illustrative of modern English manners, waa
made from no ostentatious display, but from a sincere
wish to rouse up the dormant energies of writers (fur I
will not believe that dramatic talent is dead amongst us),
and to endeavour to bring new blood into the vein of wit
and humour that was wont to make these walls to ring
again with mirth and laughter. From the tried hands
of dramatic authorship during the last three years, I
could not obtain the shadow of comedy, either for love
or money. The result has not been commensurate with
my hopes, but still, while honoured with such liberal and
constant supporters, I do not despair of .yet producing
something worthy of your encouragement, and the high
character of the British drama. The revivals of the
works of past dramatists have met with distinguished
approbation, and the highly successful production of
Shakspearsis Taming of the Shrew, unmutilated and
unaided by scenic effects, gratifyingly proves that the
public mind is still alive to fine writing and a well
wrought play. With feelings of the deepest gratitude,
and on the part of my brother and sister actors, until
the 30th of September next, I most respectfully bid you
farewell.

HAYMARTCET THEATIIV.

This theatre closed last night, after an unusually pro-
tracted season, the result of which, we are happy to
perceive, has been very favourable to the interests of the

of Mr. Webster keeps so well and 'so consfisntly ens
ployed. The performances.- were the Taming of the
Shrew, the Trumpeter's Daughter, and the -'olilliiter's
Holiday. The -incident of the evening '*ae- of

which is far more buoyant and cheerful in
its tone than very many theatrical and managerial
farewells we have had occasion to listen to. We sin-

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1844.

The-Lords met at Half-past Four o'clock, when
several. Bills brought up from the Commons were
agreed to, and others were hurried through the first,
second, or third reading. The House adjourned at a
Quarter-past Seven.
The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when Sir
ROBERT PEEL" gave notice, that on this day he
should move that the House adjourn till Saturday,
when he would propose that the House should ad-
journ to some future day. This announcement evi-
dently refers to the decision of the Judges on the
Irish State Trials. Sir J. GRAHAM subsequently said
that Sir R. PEEL Would make the announcement on
Friday.

A brief discussion took place relative to the contest
betweii,n,rnince and Morocco, and the affair of Mr.
PRITCUARD, but it led to no result. The Govern-
ment, we think wisely, gave no information. They
mat be guided by the course of events, and at pre-
rent events are so dubious:that no statesman could
give any satisfactory explanation.
The report of the Roman Catholic Penal Repeal
Bill was received, and the Bill was ordered to be
read a third time this day at three o'clock.
The Insolvent Debtors Bill was 'read a third time
and passed.
Sir J. GRAHAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill
for the better regulation of medical practice through-
out the United Kingdom.
The House adjourned at Eight o'clock.

DUDLEY ELECTION.

WEDNESDAY THREE O'CLOCK, P.N.—The nomi-
nation for candidates for this borough took place this
morning, and, as usual in all manufacturing towns, the
voice of the people was decidedly in favour of those
great principles of free-trade of which Mr. Rawson is
the actual representative in this borough. At an early
hour large bodies of workmen, employed on my lord%
and other Tory gentlemen's estates, were marched into
the town, for the purpose of &welling the numbers of the
friends of monopoly. At nine o'clock the two candi-
dates and their respective friends arrived on the hustings,
and were received with the usual amount of groaning,
cheering, hissing, and other popular demonstrations. T.
Badger, Esq., a Conservative magistrate, then came
forward, and proposed Mr. Benbow as a fit and proper
person to represent them in Parliament. He did so be-
cause he was a thorough Conservative, a supporter of
Church and State. and an opponent of the Anti Corn-law
movement. Captain Bennet seconded the nomination of
Mr. Benbow. Charles Twarnley, Esq., in an able free-
trade speech, proposed Mr. Rawson. The Rev. John
Palmer seconded the nomination ; after which Mr. Ben-
bow addressed the assembly, merely recapitulating the
topics set forth in his address. Mr. Rawson next pre-
sented himself, and after some slight interruption, he
was listened to with marked attention. The show of
hands was declared to be in favour of Wm. Rawson, Esq.
A poll was then demanded on the part of Mr. Benbow,
which commences to-morrow (this day).

FISHERIES.

In answer to a question from Capt. PECHELL,
Sir R. PEEL said that, acting upon a convention
which had been entered into bctween this country and
France, a law had been passed securing the exclusive
right of fishing to each country within three miles of
their coasts, and by that law it was rendered penal for
any fisherman to infrrinigtewitlsLpEroGvEisi.ons.

of the House a question of privilege. He alluded to a
debate which had taken place in that House on the
affairs of Guernsey, and after complaining of the
brevity of the report of that debate which appeared
in
newspapefromrs,
he stated that he had re-
ceived the Rev. Mr. Dobree, whose name
the a
letter
had been mentioned in that House by him (Mr. Dun-
combe) and also by the Right Hon. Baronet opposite.
Two days before he received this letter, a communication
from Mr. Dobree appeared in the Times newspaper,
denying the accuracy of his (Mr. Duncombe's) state-
ments. The letter which he had received was dated
Forest Rectory, 28th of July, 1844," that day being
Sunday, and it was not for him (Mr. Duncombe) to say
whether it was the sort of correspondence which
a minister of the Gospel ought to indite on such a
day. [The Hon. Gentleman then read the letter, which
stated that he (Mr. Duncombe) had charged Mr. Dobree
with " perjury," and with being "insane," and it called
upon the Hon. Member to explain his meaning, and to
give his authority, at the same time threatening conse-
quences if such an explanation were refused.] Had an
explanation been called for from him (Mr.:Duncombe),
excepting under a threat, he would have been the
last person to have refused it. His answer to the
Rev. Gentleman's letter was to the following effect
On my return to town this evening I received your
letter with inclosures of the 28th inst. I regret the in-
temperate character of your communication, which pre-
cludes the possibility of my giving that explanation
which under other circumstances I should have felt in•
dined to afford." The inclosures were certificates
from the Crown Solicitor and the Lieutenant-
Governor. Last night he received another letter
from Mr. Dobree, which was dated August 6, 1844,
in which he said, "I am in receipt of your letter of the
2d inst., and if you conceive any previous letter to you
at all intemperate, I beg leave to refer you to Lieut. Ross,
who will give you every explanation or satisfaction
you may think fit to require on my behalf. I only
regret that the situation which I hold in the diocese of

Ind if you had been locked up in one of their solitary
cells as I have been, without seeing any person but the
one who brought you the scanty pittance afforded, you
would not have a friend to assist you. By your verdict—
(Here the prisoner began to sob, and paused to see what
effect her eloquence had on the jury)—l may be sent
back to those solitary and dismal cells, there, perhaps,
to remain during the whole inclement season of the
winter, where the silence that reigns, and the tears that
fall, are enough to malt the very flags on which one
stands. Perhaps, Gentlemen, some of you may be brought
to that. You may be overtaken by misfortune, and
yielding to temptation, perhaps to drink, the greatest
temptation of all, you may not be able to pay the fine
imposed upon yeu, and you may be dragged to gaol. It
is strange, more than passing strange, to think that the
just laws of the land should be so much strained. The
witnesses against ine are not infallible, and by the laws
of God and man I demand a favourable v erdict.
This really clever speech having been concluded,
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL summed up the evidence,
observing that he did not know that the prisoner had
any occasion to regret that she had not the assistance
of any other person, as she had shown a great deal of
dexterity in conducting her own case. There were only
two questions for the jury to decide—first, whether they
were satisfied as to the identity of the property; and
next, whether they were equally satisfied with the evi-
dence as to the identity of the prisoner.
The jury turned round for a second or two, and found
the prisoner Guilty.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said that the prisoner had.
been found guilty of the offence with which she had been
charged, upon evidence which left no doubt whatever
on his mind that she had stolen the candlestick ; and the
sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that she should
be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar
months.

THE LEARNED ELEPHANT..--- " That's a way
knowin' hanimal of your's," said a Cockney gentleman to
the keeper of an elephant. " Very," was the cool rejoinder.
" He performs strange tricks and hantics, does he ?" in-
quired the Cockney, eyeing the animal through his glass.
" Surprisin'," retorted the keeper, " we've learned him to
put money, in that box you see up there. Try him with a
dollar." The Cockney handed the elephant a dollar, and,
sure enough, he took it in his trunk and paced it in a box,
high out of reach. " Well, that is wery hextraordinary—
hastonishing, truly!" said the green one, opening his eyes.
" Now, let's see hun take it out, and 'and it back." "We
never 'learns him that trick," retorted the keeper, with a
roguish leer; and then turned away to stir up the monkeys,
and punch the hyenas.

TiTISCELXAMMOTTS.

It is understood that the Judges will meet, upon their re-
turn from the several circuits, on Monday, the 26th inst., to
consider of their judgment on the writ of error in the State
Trials. The judgment will probably be delivered in the
House of Lords on the following Wednesday or Thursday.
The nomination for Dudley takes place on Thursday, and
the polling on Friday. Mr. Benbow, Government candidate,
and Mr. Rawson, supported by the Anti-Corn-law League,
are equally confident of success.
A meeting was held in Finsbury chapel, Moorfields,
on Tuesday, for the purpose of considering the recent aggres-
sions of the French in the island of Otaheite, and passing
resolutions upon the subject. Among others, the following
resolution was passed :—" That the meeting felt that the
good fame and honour of Great Britain was compromised by
the denial to Queen Pomare of the repeatedly solicited pledge
of protection given by Mr. Canning in 1827, and by the
withdrawal of the English naval force from Otaheite."
The polling in the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, for a
church-rate, closed on Tuesday, when it was found that the
numbers were equal, there being for the Bd. rate, 152 ; and
for the 6d. rate, 152—0 n which the warden gave the casting
vote for the Bd. rate, observing that he should have been
happy to have done with a 3d. or 4d. rate, but as the parish
had to pay nearly 7001. to the Exchequer Loan Commission-
ers, and that, coupled with the necessary repairs, the rate, if
wholly collected, would only leave him at the expiration of
his year of office, 421. to pay over to his successor.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9ipermille
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 1. per
aunce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
39 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.43 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.

By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 141
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 94, it follows that gold is 0.12 dearer in London
than in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted fron'
the above difference.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

This theatre closed last night, after an unusually pro-
tracted season, the result of which, we are happy to
perceive, has been very favourable to the interests of the
management, while it must have been no less so to the
numerous establishment which the tact and enterprise
of Mr. Webster keeps so well and so constantly em-
ployed. The performances were the Taming of the
Shrew, the Trumpeter's Daughter, and the Milliner's
Holiday. The incident of the evening was of
course the farewell address of the manager,
which is far more buoyant and cheerful in
its tone than very many theatrical and managerial
farewells we have had occasion to listen to. We sin-
cerely congratulate Mr. Webster on the success of his
exertions, and the extent of the support he has received,
both which, as appears by the following he gracefully
alludes to _ .

Ladies and Gentlemen,—ln times when it is supposed
that the drama is in the last stage of decline, it is with
more than ordinaryfeelings of ride thatl have to thank you
for the patronage which enables me to close a most profit-
able season of upwards of 400 nights, not having had oc-
casion to mulct the performers of one night's salary, even
for a rehearsal ; and I should confidently proceed with-
out the slightest interval but for the necessary repairs
and cleansing, consequent upon the length of a season
unparalleled in the annals of legitimate theatres. The
offer of a prize of 5001., with large contingent advantages,
for a comedy illustrative of modern English manners, was
made from no ostentatious display, but from a sincere
wish to rouse up the dormant energies of writers (fur I
will not believe that dramatic talent is dead amongst us),
and to endeavour to bring new blood into the vein of wit
and humour that was wont to make these walls to ring
again with mirth and laughter. From the tried hands
of dramatic authorship during the last three years, I
could not obtain the shadow of comedy, either for love
or money. The result has not been commensurate with
my hopes, but still, while honoured with such liberal and
constant supporters, I do not despair of yet producing
something worthy of your encouragement, and the high
character of the British drama. The revivals of the
works of past dramatists have met with distinguished
approbation, and the highly successful production of
Shalispeare's Taming. of the Shrew, unmutilated and
unaided by scenic effects, gratifyingly proves that the
public mind is still alive to filo writing and a well
wrought play. With feelings of the deepest gratitude.
and on the part of my brother and sister actors, until
the 31st of September next, I most respectfully bid you
farewell.

in his shop by threatening his dogs with a whip. As
he was at the same time surrounded by his apprentices,
a person passing by imagined M. Jacob was ill-treating
them, and entering, reproached him with unwarrantable
severity. A qua,:rel ensued, and they went into the
street to fight it out, but were separated by the neigh-
bours. The stranger went away, and M. Jacob entered
a wine-shop to tak over the affair with his friend,.
While there, one of his men came to tell him that his
assailant was returned to the shop, vociferating venge-
ance and brandishing a poignard-knife. M. Jacob im-

but, before be could get hold of anything to drive him

dropped down dead. The murderer calmly shut up his
weapon, surrendered, without resistance, to the friends of
the deceased, and was carried to the guard-house of the

HEARING.

From T. J. Pettigrew, Surgeon, F.R.S. to Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly,—Gentlemen, I have no hesitation in replying
to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of
your Improved Spectacles ; being in the constant habit
of reading and writing for many hours together by lamp-
light, it is but justice to say that your newly invented
Spectacle Lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort.
When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to
experience in the morning a great irritation in the eyes.
Since I have used your admirable glasses I suffer from
no inconvenience of the kind, and my vision is much im-
proved. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend,
Dr. Blundell for having drawn my attention to the sub-
ject.—Believe me to be yours, very respectfully. T. J.

[ADVERIISEMENT.]—A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED
BY HOLLOWAY'S Pii.ns.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter
about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with
shortness of breath, spitting of phlegm, night perspi-
rations, and general weakness of body, a want of appe-
tite, sick headaches, besides suffering much from the
liver. This man was in the second stage of consump-
tion, and not expected to live three months, when he
commenced the use of Holloway's wonderful pills, and
by their means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and
as well as ever he was in his life.—Sold (also Holloway's
Ointment.) at the establishment of Professor Holloway,
.224, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by
almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout
the civilised world.

No FOG INIVALES.—A Welshman has almost as
little idea of a fog as a Japanese or torrid-zone man has
of ice. While London has been enveloped in fog, we
have had here a clear blue sky, a bright sun, and alto-
gether weather such as would convert the coldest utili-
tarian into a worshipper of nature, amidst the scenery of
South Wales.— Welshman.

PROPOSED RAILWAY TO SUD

BURY.
MEETING OF LANDOWNERS.

Yestad ty a meeting of the landowners of the north-
eastern division of the county of Essex was held in
support of the proposed railway to Sudbury. The meet-
ing was c illed by requisition, which was as follows:
" We, the undersigned, being of opinion that the pre-
posed railway from Sudbury through Halsted to Brain-
tree and Witham will confer a great benefit upon the
town of Halsted and its neighbourhood, do hereby re.
quest that all parties interested in the success of the
undertaking to attend a public meeting at the Concert-
hall, in the town of llalsted, on Monday, November 11,
for the purpose of considering the best means of co-
operating with the originators of this important work."
The following magistrates and landowners affixed their
names to the requisition:—George de Vaizey, N. N.
Browston Benjamin Gilson, John Sudbury, I). Sewell,
Esqs., and several others. George de Vaizey, Esq.,
took the chair.

N. MARTIN, Esq., a magistrate, in proposing the first
resolution, " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the
proposed railway would confer a great benefit on the
town of Halsted, said the inhabitants of Witham were
very anxious to have a railway to 'Braintree, and the
inhabitants of Sudbury were also anxious to have a
railway line of communication to London. At a meeting
held in Sudbury, it was proposed to have a line to join
the Eastern Counties line at Kelvedon. It would be
apparent, however, to every body that two lines of that
description, one from Kelvedon and the other from
Witham, would never bo allowed by the Legislature ;
and a thiputation from the Eastern Counties Company
had attended on Thursday last at Sudbury, to endeavour
to induce the inhabitants of that town to have their line
to join the Eastern Counties line at Witham, instead of
Kelvedon. In this they succeeded, and the people of
,s,v,dbury had come to the determination to join their line
with the one from Witham to Braintree.

The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. ARDEN proposed that a committee should be
follned, consisting of the requisitionists, with power to
add to their miraber, to co-operate with the vroragters of
