OLPMPIC THEATRE.

- - -
This theatre, under the new management, seems
to progress in public estimation, and the new drama,
introduced for the first time yesterday evening, will
yet more establish the lessee's claims tn'the support
of the admirers of the sock and buskin. The piece
introduced was entitled Sir Degr-ees of Crime; and
exhibited in the most striking manner the various
stages of vice which, deepening in colour as the pas-
sions are *more depraved, eventually terminate with
that fearful, but unfortunately too common climax—
the scaffold. The hero, Julio Dormilly (Mr. J. Hud-
son Kirby), from the man of fashion, sinks into the
confirmed roué, and, after figuring as the gamester,
the thief, and the assassin, is at last doomed to death
at the hands of the public executioner. Such a plot
necessarily involves many situations, which, from
their severe realities, rather grate upon the sensibi-
lities of the more refined part of the attatence ; but
what is thus lost by the seeming absence of ei:.'licacy,
is more than compensated by the lifelike development
of the story. The intensity of passion was most
admirably pourtrayed by the transatlantic ar-
tist. As the man of fashion, he was
faultless ; and as he degenerated into the ruffian, his
acting (if we may use a seeming contradiction) was of
a still higher character, simply because it gave scope
for the display of more concentrated passion. Of the
auxiliary characters we would particularly mention
the Lacaille of Mr. B. Rogers, one of those gentlemen
who are said, in common parlance, to " live upon
town." Mr. Waldron, Mr. Broadfoot, Mr. P. Emery,
and Mr. Smith, were also well up in their several
parts. Miss L. Melville, as the heroine of the piece,
Louise, evinced the same lady-like appreciation of
character which we have ever observed in this young
lady's acting. In the ball-room scene, Mr. Flexmore,
without doubt the most happily grotesque ballet-
master on the English stage, was much and deser-
vedly applauded in the Cracovienne, a la Fanny
Elisler. The drama throughout was highly suc-
cessful, and at the conclusion Mr. J. H. Kirby was
called before the curtain, and announced the piece for
repetition amid unalloyed applause. Don Ccesar de
Bazan followed, and concluded the evening's enter-
tainment.

(nothing more was said. I think it would have been bet-
ter if he had given me more information on the subject;
but it might be also fairly said that I ought to have that
information myself, and therefore it was a pity that the
writ was issued without more consideration. With re-
gard to the bail, I do not think it becomes me to direct
anything on that subject, as it would be ratber begging
the question, and perhaps carrying our authority further
than the sending of the writ. I have no doubt that the
Court there will do what is right.
The rule was granted, and the time enlarged for
making a return to the writ.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 21.
THE REGISTRATIONS.

The Court this morning resumed the hearing of
appeals from the decisions of the revising barristers,
under the Act of the 6th Victoria.
BAXTER V. THE OVERSEERS OF DONCASTER.
This was an appeal against the decision of the revising
barristers for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who had
refused to expunge from the list of voters certain
assessors and collectors of assessed taxes, appointed by
the Commissioners of the Land- tax.

Mr. Hildyard appeared for the appellants, and Sir
Gregory Lewin for the respondents.
The case was considered important, as it involved the
votes of two persons in every parish in the kingdom.
The question depends upon this, whether the 43d of
Geo. 111. is to be taken as repealing the 22d of the same
reign, which excluded from the franchise all salaried
public officers and servants ; and whether the claimants
came under the category cf those public servants who are
still excluded by the 43d Geo. 111. from voting at the
election of Members to serve in Parliament.
The LORD CHIEF JutrrlcE said that those officers
were not appointed by the Crown. They were com-
pelled, whether they liked it or not, to take upon them-
selves a troublesome and responsible office. There was
another case set down for argument, in which a similar
point was involved ; their Lordships, therefore, would
hear that second case in its due course, and until then
postpone the decision of the present case.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1844.

In his late elaborate judgment in the case of the
Rev. WALTER BLUNT, Curate of Helston, who, it may
be remembered—among many other accusations which
were brought against him by one of the church-
wardens of the parish—was charged with having re-
fused to bury the corpse of a young man who had
been baptised by a Dissenting minister in a colony
where no Church minister was to be found—in his
judgment in this case, the Bishop of EXETER, al-
luding to the particular charge we have just men-
tioned, observed :—" I now resolve these doubts by
saying that the office for the burial of the dead ought
not to be used for an adult who, having been bap-
tised in schism and having lived a schismatic, has
never been admitted into the Church." Now, in op-
position to this intolerant episcopal mandate, we
will quote the emphatic opinion delivered
by Sir Jour; Nlcuoi, upwards of five-and-thirty ,
years ago, in the case of " lima. against Wicias,"
as we find it given by a correspondent in the Times
of this day :—." Why the rights and interests of the
Church," says this enlightened Judge, " are to be
affected by Considering
Dissenting baptisms as Chris-
tian baptisms,
by allowing persons so baptised ''

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Although the return for the present week shows a
good arrival of English Wheat, the supply of that article
was by no means large. For all descriptions, however,
the demand ruled heavy, at almost nominal prices. In
Foreign Wheat next to nothing was doing, yet holders
would not submit to lower figures. Barley and M►lt
were a mere drug ; yet we can notice no alteration in the
currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas, as on Monday, with
exceedingly little doing.

The supply of beasts was only moderate, yet the bees
trade was, on the whole, inactive, at about Monday's
quotations. We had on sale 54 beasts, in lair average
condition, from Rotterdam, as also fifty horned and
pulled Scots from Dundee. The number of sheep being
very limited, the mutton trade was firm, and previous
rates were readily supported. For prime small calves
we had a steady inquiry, at, in some instances, a trifle
more money. Other qualities were a dull sale. The
pork trade ruled dull, yet prices remained about sta-
tionary. Milch Cows sold at from 16/ to 191 each.

much the more sensible in England, that her exports for
Brazil amounted to 50 millions of francs a year. The
French exports, which in 1843 showed a special com-
merce of 18 millions, will Equllly sutfcr from the
tariff. M. de Langsdorf has not been more fortunate
than Mr. Ellis, the English agent, and in this struggle
the Cabinet of Berlin will probably have the advantage
over its competitors. What Brazil particularly wants
from England are manufactured goods of wool, cotton,
&c., wrought metals, prepared skins, and fermented
liquors; Germany is able to furnish all these articles,
wines excepted, and she has already made some success-
ful attempts to accommodate several of her manufactur-
ing products to the Brazilian taste."

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

The fast-sailing packet-ship Oxford, Captain Rath-
bone, arrived here to-night after a rapid passage of
nineteen days from New York, whence she sailed on
the Ist instant. We have received papers of that
date, but they are merely one day later than those
previously received, and contain nothing of import-
ance from the United States, where the Presidential
election continued to be the all-engrossing topic. We
have advices from Kingston to the 25th, and Montreal
to the 28th instant inclusive. They contain full par-
ticulars of the elections then going forward, and ulti-
mate success appeared almost certain for the Govern-
ment party.

In his late elaborate judgment in the case of the

OLPYIPIC THEATRE.

This theatre, under the new management, seems
to progress in public estimation, and the new drama,
introduced for the first time yesterday evening, will
yet more establish the lessee's claims to the support
of the admirers of the sock and buskin. The piece
introduced was entitled Six Degrees of Crime; and
exhibited in the most striking manner the various
stages of vice which, deepening in colour as the pas-
sions are more depraved, eventually terminate with
that fearful, but unfortunately too common climax—
the scaffold. The hero, Julio Dormilly (Mr. J. Hud-
son Kirby), from the man of fashion, sinks into the
confirmed roué, and, after figuring as the gamester,
the thief, and the assassin, is at last doomed to death
at the hands of the public executioner. Such a plot
necessarily involves many situations, which, from
their severe realities, rather grate upon the sensibi-
lities of the more refined part of the audience ; but
what is thus lost by the seeming absence of delicacy,
is more than compensated by the lifelike development
of the story. The intensity of passion was most
admirably pourtrayed by the transatlantic ar-
tist. As the man of fashion, he was
faultless ; and as he degenerated into the ruffian, his
acting (if we may use a seeming contradiction) was of
a still higher character, simply because it gave scope
for the display of more concentrated passion. Of the
auxiliary characters we would particularly mention
the Lacaille of Mr. B. Rogers, one of those gentlemen
who are said, in common parlance, to "live upon
town." Mr. Waldron, Mr. Broadfoot, Mr. P. Emery,
and Mr. Smith, were also well up in their several
parts. Miss L. Melville, as the heroine of the piece,
Louise, evinced the same lady-like appreciation of
character which we have ever observed in this young
lady's acting. In the ball-room scene, Mr. Flexmore,
without doubt the most happily grotesque ballet-
master on the English stage, was much and deser-
vedly applauded in the Cracovienne, a la Fanny
Ellsler. The drama throughout was highly suc-
cessful, and at the conclusion Mr. J. H. Kirby was
called before the curtain, and announced the piece for
repetition amid unalloyed applause. Don Cresar de
Bazan followed, and concluded the evening's enter-
tainment.

WINTER OVER COATS, WRAPPERS, &c.
Messrs. BURCH and LUCAS (late J. Albert) respectfully
invite gentlemen to view their new and fashionable assortment of
PATENT and BEAUFORT BEAVERS. FANCY VESTINGS,
TROUSERINGS, &c., for the approaching season ; the style and cut
of every garment are guaranteed equal to any of the first houses at
the West-end, at prices in unison with the economy of the times,
feeling confident that gentlemen who may do them the honour will
be perfectly satisfied with any garment that leaves their establish-
ment. A large assortment of Great Coats kept ready made in all
the different and most approved forms, agreeable to the prevailing
taste ; being made under the superintendence of the proprietors, they
are enabled to speak confidently as to their superiority over all gar- ,
ments of a slop description, the which are entirely excluded from this
establishment.

52, King William-street, London-bridge, opposite the Statue.
PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES burn without
snuffing, like the finest wax, and are cheaper, in proportion
to the light given, than the commonest tallow ones. They are sold
by respectable dealers throughout the country, at or under One
Shilling per lb., and wholesale to the Trade by EDWARD PRICE
and CO., Belmont, Vauxhall; and Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

Purchasers must insist upon being supplied in the shops with
" Price's Patent Candles,” or they are very likely to get some of
the imitations, on account of the greater profit afforded to the
dealer by these latter.

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT

AND LOSS OF LIFE.
FROM OUR coRRo-rorARRNT.)

NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY EVEIt'ING.-1 hAve just
received authentic intelligence, of an alatmi:%7 ac-
cident on the Midland line, which eccurred this
afternoon at Beeston, about four miles from this town.
At ten minutes to three o'clock, the London train
came into collision with a Derby train, and the
result was awful. The stoker of the London train,
and four passengers, are reported dead; arid many
others severely wounded. The confusion, the
dismantled engines, the broken carriages, but above
all; the cries and groans of the unfortunate sufferers
are represented to me, as being most appalling.

A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office,
Downing-street, this afternoon at two o'clock. The
greater part of the Ministers were present,
Lord Aberdeen arrived in town this morning from
Windsor Castle.

C_,IDENT ON VIE GREAT WESTERiir 11,AILWAY.."-
We have been informed that a serious and fatal accident
occurred yesterday morning on this railway. It appears
that two men were engaged working upon the line be-
yond West Drayton, during the intense fog which pre-
vailed around London in the early part of the day.
From this ammo.— •-i- - - ~ii ,:. - --- Aa

mew the whistle, this was not heard. The consequence,
as we are informed, Was, OM both men were swept from 1
the line, the train passing dri without the conductors
having the slightest knowledge of the iia'itient. )n
arriving at Slough, however, the front part of the engines
was discovered to be marked with blood, and on another
engine being sent slowly back towards West Drayton,
the mutilated bodies were discovered. It would appear
that no blame can attach to any one engaged in con-
ducting the train. We give the fact as it has reached
us, without having any further particulars of the ac-
cident.

POLICE PROMOTION.—Mr. Inspector Shackell, for-
merly one of the old Bow-street oifions, but latLert, in-
spector of police in the G or Clerkenweli divi4ion, has
been promoted by the Commissioners to the detevtive
force. ,

BAXTER V. NEWMAN.

This also was an appeal from the decision of the re-
vising barrister of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The
argument, having been partly heard, was postponed, in
consequence of the illness of Mr. Martin.

DAVIS V. WADDINGTON.

The appellants in this case are the brethren of Jesus
Hospital, Rothwell (Northamptonshire, N. D.), who
claimed to vote upon the qualification of their life in-
terest in the property of that charitable foundation. The
revising barrister disallowed the claim.
Mr. MANSELL, in support of the appeal, cited nume-
rous cases to show that the brethren have a share in the
proceeds of the freehold estate, so long as they observed
the rules and orders of the hospital. That was an in-
terest " viand° se bene gesserint," and therefore, accord.
ing to all the cases referred to, was to be held as a life
interest in the freehold.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES, for the respondent, said that the
brethren had not a life interest, for, according to the
charter, the governors had not only the appointment of
the " master and twenty-four poor and infirm men,"
but also the expulsion or removal of them, the master
and brethren, " when and as often as" to them, the go-
vernors, or the majority of them, might seem fit. The
charter laid down certain rules, for breach of which the
master or any of the brethren should be expelled ; for
instance, if he married, or was an " idler." But the
governors were not limited by that specific law, for they
had unlimited power to make bye-laws and regulations,
and to expel for any reasonable cause. In fact, the free-
hold was vested in the governors alone, and the brethren
had no property. But he felt so strong on the other
part of the case, that he would not argue this latter point
at present, especially as it would arise in the next
appeal.
The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE said that the Court was of
opinion that the persons whose names were attempted
to be put upon the registry had no freehold interest in
the estate. The charter gave to the governors in the
most unlimited manner the power of expelling them.
The decision of the barrister is confirmed.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1844.

The House of Lords met at a Quarter to Four
o'clock, when a great number of Bills received the
Royal assent, for which see report.,

The Duke of WELLINGTON moved an address to
her MAJESTY on the birth of another Prince.

A brief conversation took place relative to the
court-martial on Lieutenant GRAY. Lord ABERDEEN
said the French vessel had been searched without
warrants, and on that fact being reported to the Ad-
miralty, the inquiry was instituted. The French
Government did not require a court-martial.
The Marquis of NORMANDY moved for certain,
papers relative to the business of the House, and
entered into some details for the purpose of showing
how little business had been clone. His speech was
a review of the session. The Duke of WELLINGTON,
Lord WTIIARNCLIFFE, Lord LANSDOWNE, and other
Peers followed, and, after a lengthened discussion;
the motion, which had no real object was agreed to.

The Poor-law Amendment Bill went through
Committee, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to
Twelve.

The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when the
Roman Catholic Penal Acts Repeal Bill went through
the Committee.

The Report on the Insolvent Debtors Bill was re-
ceived, and the House adjourned. _

It met again at a quarter to Four, and went into,
Committee on the Lords' amendments to the Railways
Bill, relative to Sunday travelling. After a few
remarks from Mr. GLADSTONE on the immaterial
changes which had taken place, Mr. THORNELY ex-
pressed satisfaction with the amendments, and then
moved that the charge for the conveyance of passen-
gers by third trains on Sunday should not exceed ld.
per mile. The motion was agreed to, and the re-
port was received. What then has the Bishop
of LONDON gained by his motion ? Third-
class trains are to travel on Sunday; the price is
to be the same as on other days, and, con-
trary to the wish of the pious Bishop, the poor and
the rich are to be placed on the same footing. Mr.
THORNELY is entitled to the highest praise for his
successful resistance to the Puseyites. We have no
wish, nor has Mr. THORNELY either, to interfere with
the management of railways. All we want is, that
