NEWUATE AND LEADEND.ALL.

With London-killed Meat, these markets have been
very moderately supplied, since our last report. Scarcely
any foreign supplies have been brought forward; but
about 2,000 carcases of Beef, Mutton, and Pork, have
arrived from the provinces. The primest Beef and
Mutton have moved off steadily, at full prices. Other-
wise the demand has ruled somewhat inactive, at our
quotations.

from Calais; 226 ditto from Rouen; 123 ditto from
Louvain; 82 ditto from Antwerp; 32 ditto from Ghent;
and 100 ditto from Rotterdam—or a total supply of
954 tons, mostly in good condition. Coastwise and by
land carriage about 2,800 tens have come to hand. The
very best samples are in fair request, at full prices, but
all other kinds are a slow sale. Very few complaints
have lately reached us respecting the disease. Present

THE FRIMLEY MURDERERS —PARENTAGE AND
CAREER OF HIRAM Smax.—The real name of the man who
has confessed his participation in the awful murder at
Frimley is Trower, though he was usually called Trowler.
He was born in the Merton-road, Mitcham, and is 24 years
old. His father was foreman in the silk-printing mills on

detected the prisoner's father in the act of purloining the
silk, and had him brought to trial, and sentenced to seven
years' transportation. At the expiration of that period he
settled in the colony, and did not return to England. This
conviction occurred when the present prisoner was but four
years bid, and he, with two sisters, was reared by his mother,
who supported herself and family by her earnings as a laun-
dress. The prisoner appears to have assisted her until he
was 18 years old, when he went as potboy to Mr. Miles, of
the Eagle tap, Wandsworth, where he remained eight
months, after which lee was hanging about Merton for some
time. He then joined a gang of tramping hawkers; and at
the last spring assizes he, with two others, was tried at
Winchester For robbery. The others were convicted, and
sentenced to transportation, but he was acquitted. Since
that he has not been seen about Merton or Mitcham. A few
days ago a shabbily-dressed man called on his mother, re-
presenting himself as a lawyer, and said her smo had sent
him to ask her for money to conduct his defence. The
mother replied that not long since it cost her 161. to get him
out of trouble, and she declined doing more for him. This
having occurred A couple of days before the prisoner made
his confession appears to indicate that, on failing to obtain
funds for defence, he resolved cn trying his chance of ob-
taining pardon by confessing. Superintendent Biddlecombe
has obtained a description of the party who asked the mother
for money, and is also engaged to inquire as t; the prisoner's
character.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

.Measure for Measure has been revived here for
the purpose of introducing Miss Glyn as Isabella.
As this is a character essentially declamatory, in
which any very strong exhibition of passion or
burst of feeling would be contrary to the
nature of the staid maiden, it is .a part better suited
to the powers of Miss Glyn than many in which she
has recently been in the habit of appearing, and
accordingly she succeeded in giving a most
effective representation of Shakspere's heroine.
The play: which was cast as it was two or
three seasons ago when first produced at Sadler's
Wells, was well and evenly acted throughout; the best
performance, however, being decidedly the Angelo of
Mr. G. Bennett. The afterpieces at Sadler's Wells
seldom form a main feature in an evening's entertain-
ment, but a new petite comedy, by Mr. E. Stirling,
called The Teacher Taught, is worthy of mention. A
staid youth with a dissipated father proposes to reform
the latter by marrying him to a young lady, while he
consents to take to himself the young lady's aunt as a
means of assisting the match. In the progress of the
scheme the young man falls in love with the juvenile,
and is converted from pedantry to animation, and
the elderly maiden is consigned to the parent. The
delineation of a classical scholar is not very accurate,
inasmuch as the youth is made to talk of So-
crates as an " ancient father," but the intrigue is
pleasantly conducted, and the piece has the advantage of
very lively and spirited acting. Mr. Hoskins, who
plays the young pedant, is one of the most useful
performers of the establishment. Here his quiet as-
sumption of gravity is highly ludicrous, but generally
his line is the rapid and eccentric, to which he always
gives effect by his unceasing flow of spirits. As a
Shaksperian fop he is also valuable, and of his talent
in this way his Lucio in Measure for Measure is a
good specimen.

THE QUARTERLIES.

THE EDINBURGH REVIEW.
IV6. CLXXXV.III.
A more brilliant or more diversified number of the
great Whig quarterly has not apper.red for a very long
time than the current one for this present October.
As the leading contribution, we have a critical and
etymological essay on the " History of the English
Language," in the course of which the reviewer does
full justice to the laborious researches of Dr. Latham.
Among the many epigrammatic sentences scattered
through the article, the reader cannot fail to be struck
with one in which it is observed that " five-eighths at
least of the language spoken by Alfred still circulates
in the ♦eins of modern English." The writer
comments at some length on the non• retention of
Celtic names, and dates the greatest purity
of the Anglo-Saxon tongue at the time
immediately preceding the arrival of the Con-
queror. It is remarked that chief among the
changes consequent on the Norman invasion were the
difficulties of orthography, where the peculiarities of
spelling almost equalled the
"Ingenuity of the man who managed to spell his name
(Jacob) without a single letter which there ought to have
been in it, namely. Gikup;' and accounts sent in similar
to that which had for its inexplicable items osafada,'
agetinonimome r—which, however suspiciously they
may look like some South Sea or Malay combination of
vocables, were really meant to signify no more than
horse half a day,' and ' a getting on him home.' "
Having proceeded a little further in his disquisition,
the reviewer refers successively to the influences, good
and bad, exercised upon the development of the lan •
guage by Sir John Mandeville, by Chaucer, by
Caxton, by Sir Thomas More, by Wilson, the first
English rhetorician, by Jeremy Taylor, and by
Samuel Johnson. From the reference to old Jeremy
Taylor, the good, the wise, and the eloquent, we
must make one quotation, being a specimen of his
lovely and sonorous style, thus introduced by the

MOTLIIT EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1850.

HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
ZAND NATIONAL CONCERTS.
The fifth conciirt of the series took place on Satur-
day night, and, as coinpared with the first, it is impos-
sible npt ) perceive the vast progress which has been
made duriug the course of five nights. The production
of classiczj music before a mixed audience was
an eXprienent of a perfectly novel charac-
ter, and the directors were, therefore, per-
fectly justified in interspersing largely their
classical pieces with quadrilles and other " pretty
music," as they did on the opening night; but finding
that tie mixed audience were attentive to, and appre-
ciated, the master-pieces of Beethoven, of Mende's-
shwa, and of Sphor, they have on each successive night
giv en i their programme more and more of a " Phil-
Lrmonio" character, and on Saturday we had,
what may certainly be styled, a classical concert.
Beethovan's sinfonis, Eroica was given as a
hok and not as on the second night divided
into two pArts. It was admirably conducted by Balk
and mignificently played by the orchestra. Balfe's
overture was reputed, and it is a composition that
will bi-ar repetition. It was admirably performed,
and it grows on tho liking by repetitions.
It is, we are inclined to think, the most
perfectly classical musical composition that Balfe
has yet produced. M. Charles Halle performed
'Weber's Concert Stuck for pianoforte and
orchestra in admirable style,
and M. Sainton
gave us some rolgnificent violin playing
in the course of the pPrrorrwince of his new fantasia.
Tile overture to Guillaume Tell completed the
list of classical orchestral compositions, but not
of classical performances, for we had in
additi.)n a duet for piano-forte and violin
magnificently performed by MM. Charles
and the " Brindisi" both mag-
nificently and Sainton. In the vocal' d,partment we

besides airs by M. Jules Lefort, Mr. Gustavus
Geary, and Mrs. Alexander Newton, who seems to
have become, and most deservedly,
as great a favou-
rite at these concerts as she is at Exeter Hall. The
heatre was crowded.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1850.

On Friday, the 11th instant, a poor squalid woman,
named RosINA HERBERT, the wife of a dock labourer,
was brought before the presiding magistrate of the
Tiaimes Police-court, charged with illegally pawning
seven blue cotton-shirts. It appeared that the wretched
creature, whose abject and miserable appearance suf-
ficiently denoted the state of destitution to which she
nad been reduced, bad for some time supported her
nusband, who was out of employment " only obtain-
ing a day's work now and then," and fvo sickly chil-
dren by needlework, and that by almost incessant
labour, " plying her needle and thread" for fourteen
or fifteen hours per diem. She was enabled to earn
about three shillings a week, not a very magnifi-
cent provision fur four parsons, two of them in deli-
cate health. She did not receive the materials
directly from the liberal slopsellers, who it appeared
allowed twopence halfpenny each for a•birtmaking,
but obtained them at third band, two distinct inter-
mediate profits being derived from the labonrs of the
misere4e sempstresi. The woman who wai.paid 2}cl.
each for the cornpgeted shirts employed another, to
whom she allowed 2d., thus gaining id. on each piece,
or •twi:rity per cent. on the entire sum; the first re-
ceiver' i'gain employed a deputy, but was contented
with a
tiutire moderate profit, one farthing each, or
twelve and a half per cent., being all that she re-
tained for her commission ; w bile poor ROSINA
HERBERT, who actualy performed the entire work,
was handsomely remunerated with seven farthings
each. The unfortunate woman, wanting bread fur
her starving children, pawned seven of these shirts,
whicli,.:ahe had just made, for Bs. 6d., and was thus
oinauofitnce against that law which permits a
man of spirit, with abundant means for his legitimate

suffered losses from the bombardment of Messina
shall be indemnified on the same footing as the citizens
of other nations.

MANsioN-nousE.—.—The Lord Mayor has issued
cards of invitation to a banquet, on the 6th of November, to
the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, and Directors of the Lon-

Railway Company; the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, and
Directors of the Midland Railway Compa,y ; the Chairman
and Directors of the York and North Midland Railway Com-
pany, and several gentlemen officially connected with the

THE GRAND BANQUET AT YORE.—A paragraph
appeared in some of our contemporaries on Saturday to the
effect that the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex bad received
invitations from the Lord Mayor of York to the banquet in
that city, for which great preparations are now being made,
in return for the splendid entertainment given by the Lord
Mayor of London in honour of the Great Exhibition of 1851,
and to which the chief magistrates of the towns and counties
f the empire were invited. This statement was premature.
The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex have not yet re-
ceived invitations from the Lord Mayor of York; but as
those officers are considered part and parcel of the mayoralty
of the city of London, and mixed up to a great extent with
the forms and ceremonies of the approaching exhibition,
no doubt is entertained that the oversight will be corrected.
We understand that the preparation for the reception of
Prince Albert and the Lord Mayor are upon the most mag-
nificent scale.

Suinmones were issued on Friday night for n Ca-
binet Council— the first (~f the series usually held at this sea-
son—to asurrible at tkine o'clock un Wednesday next, the

In the sitting of the Piedmonte.Fe Chamber of De-
puties of the 7th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
presented two Bills, one for the approval of the
treaty of commerce and navigation lately con-
cluded with France, and the other for the
reciprocal protection of literary property in
France and Piedmont. The Minister of Fi-
nance alio presented a Bill, for the revocation of the
law of April, 1848, in virtue of which certain species
of gold coin were allowed to circulate at a somewhat
higher rate than usual. Tne Minister observed that,
although that law was very useful at the critical period
at which it was passed, the present fall of gold in all
the money-markets of Europe rendered it detrimental
at this moment.

The Milan Gazette, of the ith, states from Flo-
rence that Lady SUSSEX LENNOX abjured Protest-

THE LONDON FAR/51E1U' CLUB.—The monthly
meetiog of this body was held yesterday evening, and com-
prised a full attendance. The subject, which was introduced
by Mr. J. C. Nisbett, was "The qualities of different kinds
of food, and the best methods of fattening stock." The
argument advanced was, the importance of apportioning the
various descriptions of -food in accordance with their chemi-
cal elements, in order to the production of flesh as well as
fat, and the keeping of the animal in health. Messu. Shaw,
W. Bennett, Mechi, Pawlett, R. Smith, and Williams, took
part in the discussion, which terminated in the adoption, on
the motion of Mr. Shaw, seconded by Mr. W. Bennett, of a
resolution affirming the importance of the
