HAYMARKET THEATH E.

Last evening O'Kee•re's comedy, the Young Quaker,
was presented at this theatre. This revival is quite
in character with the discrimination and judgment
which have been displayed by the management in
selecting pieces for the aniusemeet of the peblic.
It poesesses much of the racy and broad humour
which distinguish many of the dramatic produc-
tions of the author. Quakerism is not now pro-
bably so prominent as when O'Keefe wrote for the
stage, and though the peculiarities of the sect are
present:- d in a ridiculous light, there is no ill-
nature displayed in the development of the characters.
Young Sadboy (Mr. B. Webster) is indeed led away
by the fascinations of the metropolis, and the com-
panionship of Captain Ambush (Mr. rarselle) from
the grave and sedate habits of the society to which
he belongs ; but this is but an illustration of weakness
incidental to y outh and inexperience ; besides, he pos-
sesses a good and manly heart, and retraces his steps with
grace and propriety. Mr. Webster was most successful
in delineating the errant freaks of the Young Quaker,
and in a most ludicrous manner blended the quaint
phraseology of the part with the profane dialogue of
sparks of fashion. Mr. Buckstone performed the part of
Clod, the servant of Old Chronicle (Mr. Lambert),
with infinite humour and address, and as usual,
elicited great mirth. Nothing could be more ad-
mirable than hia impersonation of a bumpkin in
livery, and the facetious good humour with which he
exhibited the penury of his master, with whom he
did not "live," but "starve." Mr. Charles Selby
was an excellent representative of Shadrach, the Jew,
and Mr. Henry Bedford, as Spatterdash, was
lively and piquant. The character of Ara-
minta is one of no ordinary difficulty, for in ad-
dition to the ordinary requisites to enact a lady of
fashion, with a large fortune at her command, and
the independence of will and spirit which such an
advantage imparts to a young lady who chooses a
husband for herself, there are several songs allotted
to the part which require considerable vocal ability to
give them effect, particularly as some are given as
lively musical snatches, and all sung without an ac-
companiment. Miss P. Horton had this part assigned
her in the present cast, which she sustained with
great ability. The lively spirit with which she in-
troduced her musical responses was admirable and
effective. She gave the sang

" Then farewell, my rover, dear;
Thy loss I e'er shall mourn."
with much feeling and expression. Mrs. Fitz william
did Pink, which she represented in her usual facetious
and happy style. The play was admirably put upon
the stage, perfectly wall acted throughout, and was
much applauded. The theatre was crowded with a
most respectable company.

PUNCH'S POCKET-BOOK FOR 1851.

Punch's Pocket-book still keeps up its character,
and this for the year 1851 is quite equal to any of
i-s predecessors in quaint conceits, and in fun and
pun, pictorial and written ; the frontispiece shows us
the interior of a preparatory school for young ladies
as it ought to he; the school is located in the kitchen,
and the great Soyer is officiating as professor, and
instructing the young ladies in the mysteries of the
gastronomic art. Another admirable illustration
is the portrait of Punch, reclining a l'Ariadne
on the British lion. The lackadaisical look
of Mr. Punch is exquisitely droll. The
other illustrations are all equally excellent,
and the letter-press is admirable. " Macbetto, a
Serious Opera, in three acts," is an excellent skit on
Scribe's libretto of La Tempesta; and " What I
heard about myself at the Exhibition by the Original
of the Portrait of a Gentleman" is a smart satire on
the vanity of those who delight to see the representa-
tion of their own unmeaning features on canvass.
Punch need not dread the competition of 1851, his
articles are all of first-rate quality—unsurpassed and
unsurpassable.

CLERKEN WELL.

Alfred Fuzzen, a Chartist, appeared, pursuant to
his bail, charged with having assaulted Sergeant
Archer, 217, and Police•constable Fisher, 127 G,
whilst in the execution of their duty.
Mr. Sidney, on the part of his client, denied the
assaults.

Mr. Comne, however, thought they had been
proved, and convicted the prisoner in the sum of 205.,
or fourteen days' impri,onment, for each of the as-
saults upon Archer and Fisher.

HAND-BOOK TO HARROW-ON THE-HILL.
Edited by Thomos Smith.
Mr. Thomas Smith is entitled to the thanks of the
excursionist for having supplied a crying want by
the publication of this excellently got up and ad-
mirably arranged hand-book. It is scarcely credib.e
that until the appearance of this little volume there
was no distinct publication devoted to the history of
Harrow, without exception the most classical ground
in the neighbourhood of London, and worthy of a
visit not alone for its intimate connexion with the
early history of Parr, and Sir IVilliam Jones, and
Byron, and Peel, and of a host of other illustrious
Englishmen, but for its beautiful scenery, the most
varied and the most thoroughly English in the king-
dom. The present little work is admirably arranged,
is written in a dear and unpretentious style, is illus-
trated It ith several wood engraviugs from original
drawings by Mr. F. Skill, and is elegantly got up.
It is just what a hand-b.ok should be.

" I have made this suggestionito both companies ;
if each board approves, I would offer myself as the
medium of communication to bring about another
meeting of some directors or of their officers, to at-
tempt to bring the proposal I have suggested into
some useful shape. If any good result, I feel that I
shall have done a great service to both, but I cannot
conclude without giving expression to the strong
conviction I entertain, that unless an amicable ar-
rangement can at once be effected, the interests of both
companies will be sacrificed by any attempt to prolong
the present false position of affairs; and that what-
ever may be the apparent sacrifice of feeling or in-
terests, both parties would eventually be great
gainers by agreeing at once to cancel all existing
agreements.

THE BRAZILS.

His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil closed the Le-
gislative Chambers on the 11th of last month with a
Speech from. the Throne, in the Palace of the Senate
at Rio de Janeiro. _ _ _

His Imperial Majesty and the Empress were re-
ceived on their arrival, with their retinue, by a depu-
tation, consisting of Members of both Chambers, and
conducted to their thrones by the President and Secre-
taries of the Senate. Their Majesties were saluted
with the most loyal and enthusiastic vivas. The Se-
nadores and Deputados being seated, his Imperial
Majesty delivered his Speech, of which the following
is a translation :

" Meet worthy and honourable gentlemen, represen-
tativPs of the nation,—l am come to close the second
session of the eighth Legislature (Parliament). I have
great pleasure in assuring you that the public tranquillity
and peace have been completely re-established in those
proriaces were they had been unfortunately disturbed;
and I expect, from the good sense and patriotism of the
Brezdian people, that we shall not hare again to deplore
such ilisastrnua occurrences. _ _

" With thanks to Divine Providence I am enabled to
state that the epidemic fever which afflicted several
cities and places on our coasts has disappeared.
" I-shall continue to employ my best endeavours to
maintain pacific relations with all foreign Powers as far
as is compatible with our rights and dignity; peace is
indispensable to the prosperity and liberty of nations.
" Lthank you for the important Legislative Acts you
have passed during the two sessions held this year.
" The benefits which will result therefrom will con-
stitute the most gratifying recompense for your labours.
" After so many months of toilsome duties it is neces-
sary that you should return to the bosoms of your fami-
lies. 'Persevere, most worthy and honourable represen-
tativc:s of the nation, in aiding me by that enlightened
zeal of which you have given so many proofs in the task
I have undertaken to unite all Brazilians in one common
sentiment to preserve unimpaired our beneficent institu-
tions. Show then] bow greatly in obedience to the laws,
and op the observance of those duties which morality and
religion require, the greatness and happiness of empires
depend.
" The session► is closed."

Their Imperial Majesties retired with the same
ceremonies with which they entered the Senate
Home, and the Senators and Deputies soon dispersed.
The Imperial Princess had been formally and con-
stitutionally acknowledged presumptive heiress to the
throne of the empire.

CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
FORG/1111,Y.—George Harcourt, aged 29, described as a
clerk, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering
a receipt for the sum of 501., with intent to defraud the
Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Company.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parnell conducted the case for
the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine, with whom was Mr.
Huddlestone, defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the opening statement of the Learned
Counsel, and the evidence which was afterwards called,
that an interest warrant for 4/. ss. 10d., payable to Mr.
Duncroft, a shareholder in the Whitehaven and Furness
Junction Company, was made out by the prisoner on
the 17th of January, 1848, and entered in the cash-book
of thi company as having been duly paid. On
the following 12th of February, another warrant
for the same amount was issued in the name of a Mr.
Wingate, an insurance broker in Glasgow, but the cor-
responding entry in the cash-book represented the
V. 55. lod. to have been paid to Mr. Duncroft. Now
Mr. Wingate was in arrear of one call on his shares, and
was th2rcfore not entitled to the interest. It was, how-
ever, alleged that the prisoner forged the name of Win-
gate to the warrant to obtain the money fr,;rn the
banker's, and made the fahe entry in the cash-book
to deceive the company. On the 16th of February
another war, ant :was issued, in the prisoner's3hand-
writing, for 41. ss. 10d., :payable to Mr. Wingate, and
it was so paid by the bankers, and entered in the cash-
book. Though Mr. Wingate never received the money,
nor had he authorised any one to sign the receipt to the
warrant, which was not in his handwriting. Theifirst
of these three warrants was duly paid to Mr. Duncroft,
and quite legal and regular, but the other two were al-
leged to be spurious, and the receipts to be forgeries,
in the prisoner's handwriting.
(Tne case was proceeding when our report left.) .

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Tne news of the battle of Idatedt arrived in Copen-
hagen on the morning of the 27th ult.
The following notice was immediately published
by the Minister of War :

" After an engagement which lasted two days, our
army has gained a decisive but bloody victory, and has
taken the city of Schleswig. We have taken five can-
nons and 100 men. Our loss is great."
The German journals state that the case of Schles-
wig-Holstein is beginning to excite so much interest
at Berlin that an association has just been formed
there.

In Hanover a popular assembly was held on the
27th, to take into consideration the state of the
Duchies. About 4,000 persons were present. Two
petitions were drawn up—one addressed to the KING,
the other to the Cabinet—in both of which it was
requested that the Hanoverian army might be sent to
the aid of Schleswig-Holstein. On the same day a
popular meeting was held at Hildesheim, where an
address was voted to the KING to the same effect.
The Hanoverians have sent 100 Louis d'ors to the
Schleswig-Holsteiners.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM DISCO.

No have no more space for private correspondence
to-day, and only subjoin the latest news of the expe-
dition.

The transport, Emma Eugenia, Lieut. Power, agent,
was cleared at noon on Sunday, June 23, parties having
been at work all three preceding nights, and at 2.30,
Resolute, Captain Austin, C. 8., and Assistance, Cap-
tain Ommanney, were towed out by their screw-teaders,
Pioneer, Lieutenant-Commander Osborne, and In-
trepid, Lieutenant-Commander Bertie Cator; and it is
stated by those who witnessed their departure, that a
more cheerful merry party never started on a pleasure
excursion. Their advance northward must have been
rapid, as the breez© came up fresh at midnight from
the southward.

The following day the United States schooner, Ad-
vance, Commander De Haven, on a similar mission,
arrived. Her consort, the Rescue, joined her on the
27th, and on the 29th they pushed on all well, and full
of hope.
The Emma Eugenia transport, after much labour,
completed ballasting by the 3d July, and sailed for Eng-

A NOVEL.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a ss ricer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which be expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story ara dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages a exceed-
ing beauty, and Is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has proauced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The ether ladles who play conspieuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

CONFESSION OF BENNISON.

The man Bennison, who was found guilty at the
High Court of Justiciary, on Friday last, of the
double crimes of bigamy and murder, and sentenced
to be executed here on the 16th of August, has made
a confession of his guilt. At the conclusion of the
trial on Friday, he solemnly " declared before God,
end before all present, that of the murder of his
wife he was innocent ;" and that if the witnesses
had spoken the truth, " he would not have been a guilty
man before their Lordships that day." Notwithstanding
of these solemn asseverations, he, in a conversation with
his pastor, the Rev. Mr. Hay, of the Methodist Church,
Leith—who has been most unremitting in his attention to
the culprit since his condemnation—confessed on Monday
that he had poisoned his wi'e on the Friday evening that
she was alleged to have become ill. The confession is not,
in the meantime, in such a complete state as would
unify its publication ; but we believe that a copy of
it has been transmitted to Sir G. Grey, the Secretary
of State for the Home Department. Bennison, ever
since the sentence was declared, has exhibited the
deepest contrition ; but although he has unbosom( d
his mind of the principal portion of the guilt charged
against hire in the trial, he is a person of such a
peculiar disposition, and so extremely suspicious of all
who come in contact with him, that it is most diffi-
cult t 9 get an explanation from him of certain points
necessary to throw light on the case. Mr. Hay could
not venture to avail himself of writing materials
during the time that Bennison was relating
the particulars of the poisoning. He was, there-
fore, obliged simply to listen to the harrow-
ing narrative of the culprit's guilt; and to trust to his
memory for the writing out of the details of the con-
fession when he went home. Mr. Hay read a copy
of what ho had written to Bennison, when he ad-
hered to it all—making only some very slight alter:),
tions upon it. A copy of the confession so amendeu
was subsequently lodged with the Sheriff; and it was
afterwards, as we have already mentioned, forwarded to
Sir George Grey.
_ _ _

Bennison states that, on the Friday evening in ques-
tion, he made the porridge, and put a quantity of
arsenic in them. His child having previously gone to
bed, and BQnniion having, on thu score of illness ex-
cused himself from eating anything that night, his wife
was the only one that partook of the porridge, and to
that her death is to be ascribed.

He states that the girl Robertson had not the most
remote ides, that he had any interest in her except that
of a religious kind, and that he never spoke to her unless
in respect to her spiritual welfare.
Ile has made no confession with regard to the first
wifa's sudden death at Airdrie; but as it is strongly sus-
pected that he also administered poison to get quit of
her, it is not improbable that we may have a further
confession from him to that effect.—Scotsman.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The royal yacht Victoria and Albert has proceeded to
fill up and complete her fuel at Portsmouth. She will
proceed on Monday next to Cowes to attend on the
Queen, Prince Albert, and the Court, while at Osborne.
We are glad to say the royal yacht has returned from
her cruise without a single reported defect. She ran
from Cherbourg to the Nab light-vessel, a distance of
67 miles, in five hours and ten minutes, on Wednesday.
The Victoria and Albert, the Fairy, and the little
dispatch-vessel the Elfin, do credit to Lord Fitzclarence,
Captai❑ Crispin, and the other officers and their crews,
for their decoration, cleanliness, and order; no vessels or
yachts ever surpassed them.

Tha distingtiished party that accompanied Lord A,
Fitzclarence in his cruise landed last evening, and slept
at the George Hotel.

Lieutenant Harris, agent of the Princess Royal trans
port, died on his passage home.
