The WEEKLY CHUOSICLE is now printed on superior paper of
the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon-
don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and
arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of
which it gives a much fuller and far more satisfactory summary than
any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the
principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted ; for while
the Weekly Chronicle will be fpund to give due attention to literatare,
science, the fine arts, the drama, and even to sporting intelli-
gence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the general
reader, neither Sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are
allowed to supersede the proper Dbjects of a newspaper—those tub-
jeets of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the
well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of
Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle" s the advocate
of extended suffrage—of the ballot—of a shortened duration of Par-
liamenk—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education
of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re-
adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, and of other measures
ofjastice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and
abroad—of a repeal of the odio ; income-tax, with a reduction of the
expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it
treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone; whilst
its means of information may be judged from the fast that It was,
among other instances of early intelligence, the trot to announce to
the world the visit of the Quests to France—the determination of, the
Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facto
were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they
were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle
also announced recently the intended recal of Earl de Grey—a state-
ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go-
vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from,
and which now passes unchallenged as a fact.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con-
tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in
some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and,
to effect this, every department of the paper has been serupulonsly
revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our
friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending
to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one
preferred, axe for which the order should be distinetly given, may be
prevented:-
1. An edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces en the Sa-
turday, marked " Country Edition."
2. An edition for circulation in London en the Saturday, and In the
country on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition."

3. An edition for exclusive circulation in tke metropolis and its en-
virons on the Sunday, marked " Towu Edition."
Tke price is 841., for which the Weekly Chronicle may be obtained
of all respectable newsvenders; and by post, paid in advance, at a
subscription of 26e. per annum, 13s. the half-year, and 6s: 6d. the

HAY MARKET THEATRE.

A new comic drama, in two Lets, intitled Grist -to the
Mill, was produced at this theatre last evening. We
understand it is from the pen of Mr. Planche, and from
the amusing nature of the incidents, the smartness of the
dialogue, and, the excellence Of the acting of all con-
cerned, the name may be consitl.tred as prophetic ; fel-
we have no doubt but that this exceeding" clever little
drama will bring " grist to the mill" for some
time to come. The scene is laid in the neighbOur-
hood of Poitiers, in the early part of the reign. of
Louis XV., when Cardinal Fleury was Minister.
The mill is occupied by Francine (Madame Vestris), the
widow of en officer in the army. Her charms attract
the notice of Merluchet (Mr. Strickland), the Vidame of
Poitiers ; but of course the awkward attentions of the
old Vidame are jestingly repulsed, and the door of the
mill is shut in his face. The Marquis de Richeyillik(Mr.
Charles. Mathews), on whose estate the mill is, situated,
is a nobleman of about forty-five years of age,
exceedingly rich, but of such penurious habits, that
he denies himself all the luxuries, and many of
the necessaries of - life." He has a nephew, Thierry
Dumont (Mr. Howe), the son of his sister, who having
formed a me:alliance in marrying Thierry's father, has
been discarded by the Marquis. Thierry comes to the
neighbourhood, for the purpose, if possible, of procuring an
interview with hiiuncle, and mee tom Francine with an old
friend. While loitering about in the neighbourhood of
the will the Vidame enters, and Thierry recog-
nises in him a former, acquaintance, a ci-devant
captain of musqueteers. -. The loquacious Vidame
with erry
of a' plot which he has laid,
an antiquated maiden consin,
iinnferni conjunction Thierry
i
h
Mademoiselle de Merbiehet (Mrs. W.- Clifford) to
secure the Marquis as a husband for the lady. The
unfortunate Marquis had been invited to the chateau of
the lady—had been directed by the Vidame purposely
into the lady's chamber—had been followed by the lady,
who, having locked the door, commenced screaming
violently, when the attendants entering, discovered the
unhappy Marquis in her apartment. Thierry seeks
Francine to endeavour to devise some plan to frustrate
the schemes of the Vidame, while the latter, accompa-
nied by his cousin, goes to the chateau of the
Marquis, to follow out their_plan. At ,the chateau
they find the Prince de Conte (Mr. H. Holl),
who had been depited by the Government
to inquire into the character of the Marquis, who had
been seeking office and honour from the Court. The
Prince tells the Marquis that he cannot recommend the
Government to grant the application of a man of such
a miserable miserly character. Before the Marquis can
recover from his astonishment at this announcement, the
Vidame and his cousin enter and demand justice, and
the Prince directs that ' the Marquis shall
marry the lady instantly, unless he can show
good and sufficient cause for refusing to do so.
The Marquis is extricated from this difficulty' by the
appearance of Francine, who, dressed in a riding-habit,
enters, and, to the astonishment of every one, announces
herself as the Marchioness de Richeville ; explains that
she has been -secretly married to the 'Marquis for
some time, during which she has resided at
a splendid chateau of the Marquis's in Nor-
mandy, and that she is determined to have everything in
the same style at Richeville. The MarqUis; as-
tonished, dares not to contradict - her, having
a wholesome. dread of the Merluchet alliance,
should the truth be discovered: She turns the Vidame
and his sister out of the house—orders a feast to be pre-
wed for the. Prince—has a bullock roasted whole, and
given away to the peasantsinthe park—sends for Thierry,
and forces the Marquis 'pot only to receive. him, but to
,-purelrastAins a-segiment.-7Tlae-.Prince-ikenchanted with
her, and tor-her sake grants the • MarqUis the favottri
which he had requested, while, in return, he requests
her to grant him an interview in the pavilion in the
garden. The Vidame, in the meantime having disco-
vered who she is,returns to the chateau,and secreteshimself
in the garden just in time to hear her inform the Prince
that she is not the wife .of the Marquia, and that her
;reason for so _representing herself was to save the
Marquis from Merluchet, and to re-unite him to his
nephew. The Marquis, who has been. brought by
Thierry to the spot, is so fascinated with her, that he
comes forward and offers her his hand, which she con-
sents to accept at some future time, when he shall haie
shown that ho is completely weaned from' his miserly ,
habits. The piece was admirably acted. Madame
Vestris was quite herself as. Fr./nine. Her cool
assuraption of superiority over " those persona,"
as she invariably denominated the Vidame and
his cousin, was most diverting ; and her manner
of alternately coaxing and threatening the un-
fortunate Marquis was excellent. Madame Vestris is
fitted to a nicety in this part, and she acts it to admira-
tion. Charles Mathews was always a clever actor, his
Marquis de Richeville proves him an- ;accomplished
artist. Hi 4 representation of the staid, preinaturely-old
miser was perfect ; there was no buoyancyy, no- bustle,
no effervescence—he was the penurious old man ; but
neither was there anything vulgar, although the, part
offered many temptations ,for the .production of
farcical effect. Mr. Charles Mathews, hciwever, never
once gave way to this—he never forgot fur a single in-
stant that although a miser 'he was also' a nobleman.
There was a polish and a good-breeding about-his very
penury, that rendered it impossible to forget for an
instant that he was one of the ancient noblesse. As a
representation of character, his Marquis de Richeville is
perhaps the most artistical thing that Mr.. Charles
Mathews has yet done. Strickland, as the Vidame, was
exceedingly humorous, and Mrs. W. Clifford's old maid
was superb. Mr. Clark, who always makes so much of a
little part, was admirable as the page to the Marquis.
His look at being told by Francine that his wages should
be doubled was' inimitable. Madame Vostris was called
'for at the 'fall of the curtain, and led 'forward by Mr.
Charles Mathews, who announced the piece for repeti-
tion every evening amidst the unanimous applause of the
audience. The house was very ll attended. •

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
QUEEN'sSQUARE.
Two well-dressed youths, John Cannon, a baker, and John
Holder, described by his opponent as "a sort. of a kind of a
coal-morchant's clerk,"
apeared before the Magistrate on an
assault summons. •
The difference between the parties had arisen' from the
circumstance of complainant Cannon having faVOured a
young lady of soft eventeen with' his polite attentions, and
being apprehensive that defendant, who lodgcd in the same
house with the tender object of his regard, wria endei&ouring
to ingratiate himself into her favour, or, in common' parlance,
to "cut him out." The degree of encouragement, if any,
given by the lady did not appear, but the suitors Were at

ceed to chastise you, perhaps 'in the same manner as angry
mothers punish their naughty children. Now if you've the
sense of a man, you will never insult me again. In short,
you will know how to act towards yours, Bre. .

Complainant was just luxuriating in the idea that his letter
had duly impressed defendant with the idea of his superiority,
when the latter came up to him in the street, and Putting his
fist in his face challenged him to tight. Complainant was not
disposed to disgrace himself by such an ungentlemanly exhi-
bition, and came to this office for a warrant.
Defendant said he could not see, what complainant bad to
be jealous of, or to come there about. Fir.t, he wanted to
fight, and then he did not, after sending him such a_vos,r un -
gentlemanly letter.
Mr. BURRELL pronounced It a schoolboy quarrel, and dis-
missed the complaint.

Wm. Green was charged vn suspicion of breaking Into the
premises of Mr. Evans, a boot and shoe-maker, residing iu
Paddington-street, Marylebone, and stealing therefrom pro-
perty to a considerable amount; also on suspicion of being
concerned with Wm. Thompson and Anne Thompson, who
stand committed, in several other robberies.
Mr. Wolff appeared for the prisoner Green.
The evidence adduced went to prove that Green had dis-
posed of a pair of the boots stolen from Mr. Evans, in whose
employment the prisoner was up to the day preceding that
on which the burglary was committed. In the house of
Thompson were found a large number of pawnbrokers' du-
plicates, relating to articles pledged by Green, and several of
which wore identified as having been stolen from a Ihrnished,
but unoccupied, house in Stoke Newington.--,Remanded.
Commisys RAcistc.—Joseph Parfait and John Cray, drivers
of the Metropolitan • stage
_carriages 3,292 and 10 were
charged with furious driving by Doctor Smith, a gentleman
residing in Verulam-buildings, Grays Inn.
It appeared from the evidence of the Doctor, and of other
witnesses, that on Saturday last the prisoners drove their
respective omnibussee at full gallop down the narrow part of
Gray's Inn-lane. The Doctor was driving towards them in a
phaeton, which was only saved from being smashed to atoms
by one of the omnibuses coming in contact. with a donkey-
cart, which was driven in upon the pavement. Cray was,
however, much more culpable, as he began the race.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a mercy they had not killed
somebody in that crowded and narrow thoroughfare. He
would send Cray to prison for three weeks, and hard labour ;
and Parfait should pay aline of 21.
Sarah Evans was charged with carrying and. conveying
thirty-six packages of foreign manufactured tobacco, value
41. 3s. Bd., which had been unshipped without paying the
regular Custom fees. The penalty was laid at 1001.
The prisoner is well known to the Excise, -On the pre-
vious evening she was met. in Gray's Inn-road, by Davis and
Patten, officers of the Custom-house, carrying the tobacco,
and accompanied by a man, who ran away when he saw the
officers. They took her into custody, and she said a man had
given her the tobacco to carry.
Mr. Cornell, Queen's Appraiser, proved that the tobacco,
which had come from Berlin, had not paid the Cokoms fees.
The prisoner was fined 100/., Mr. Gneesiwoori telling her
she was at liberty to appeal to the Board of Excise, who
would probably mitigate the penalty if she could bring for-
ward any extenuating circumstances.

very little interest. Cattonite was not mentioned at a deli-
