for Great Britain. Linseed, however, continues in extensive demand
for America, and the French have alto been large purchasers
during the month, some late enactment having induced them to
supply themselves from this market direct.
Safflower.—Transactions since our last have been very limited, in
consequence of the large quantity of inferior quality offering, whilst
of really good, for which there is a moderate inquiry, none is to be
had—for the former prices must be quoted lower ; but we still think
a few parcels of fine Patterghatta would (if procurable) be saleable
at 40 rupees per maund.
Hides—The- demand continued moderate until the receipt of the
intelligence per Bentinck, since which we believe there has been
scarcely anything doing for the English market, and our quotations
are almost nominal.

For America a few purchases have been made at about former
rates. In horns and tips we have no change to notice.

Exports from the lit instant up to date were as follows, viz. :
Hides, 41,418; buck horns, 5,000; horn tips, 100, to Great
Britain.

Jute—Shipments have of late been lees extensive, and holders
would be disposed to accept lower rates were it possible to effect
sales, but this the home accounts have rendered far from easy.
Exports from the Ist instant up to date are as follows, via.:—to
Great Britain, 2,005.

Munjeet, Ginger, Turmeric, Cowries, Tingal, and Cutch—ln
munjeet we believe nothing has been done. Ginger is in very mo-
derate inquiry, but although we have not heard of any sales, set
notice a few small shipments of dry to Great Britain. Turmeric
has heen neglected for England, and even for France the demand
is far from brisk. In cowries, we have not heard of any
transactions.

Tincal has been taken to a moderate extent for the ,English
market at about 12 rupees to 12 rupees 8 annas, No sales of
cutch have been reported lately.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Shell lac has been neglected for
Great Britain, and some of fine quality has sold at a decline ;
lately, however, there bas been some inquiry for France, and
several parcels have been disp3sed of.
In lac dye but little has been done, all the fine masks continuing
scarce and held at high figure, and the stock of middling qualities
being also very light.
Opium—The price of this drug has been daily fluctuating
since our last, it having at one time fallen to 1,380 rupees for
Patna, and 1,300 rupees for Benares, then risen to 1,420 and
1,325 rupees, and now again fallen to 1,3E15 and 1,300 rupees,
which were the last quotations we heard of.
Deliveries have been progressing freely, and amount to about
4,000 chests within the month, the stock now remaining in the
Company's godown, consisting of only 3,420 chests of Patna, and
1,033 chests of Benares.
Cotton—We quote prices of this staple as last month, but these
must be looked upon almost as nominal, the business for China
having, for some time past, been completely at a standstill. Ex.
ports in all July were 989 bales, or 3,207 maunds, against, in July
1844, 19,688 bales, or 70,539 maunds, and, from the lst inst.,
up to date, not a single bale has gene forward.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1845.

The intelligence from India and China, though not of a
striking character, is not the less important. In the vast
extent of our Indian possessions peace prevails, the influence
of the British name is paramount, and none of the adjoining
States, however they may dislike the spread of civilisation,
justice, and mercy, or dread the extension of our dominion,
seem at all disposed to quarrel with their powarm neighbour.
This universal peace at the present moment caimetbe fart.
buted to the policy or the nb'w GdYCTlM'Cr'"alf far; Ist

fact, he is hardly ever heard of. He remains in phi-
losophical
retirement at Calcutta, engaged in devis-
ing
plans for the improvement of the country, such as I
making roads, encouraging steam enterprise, educating the
natives, and reforming the administration of justice. These
are noble pursuits, and do high honour to Sir HENRY HAR-
HINGE, but at the same time no unprejudiced observer can
deny that he owes this leisure, this vacation from warlike du-
tres,--Ermost entirely to the wise and spirited government of
his calumniated predecessor. Lord ELLENBOROUGH during
nearly the whole of his short reign was engaged in military
expeditions, forced on him, in fact, by the policy of
Lord AUCKLAND. After what had occurred in
Affghanistan ; after the deceitful conduct of the
Ameers of Sinde, and their intention, manifested beyond the
possibility of a doubt, to take the first advantage of difficulties
or disasters in which the British forces might be involved,
he had no alternative but to occupy the country or compel
the Ameers by force to give such security as would put every
means of vengeance out of their power. They declined the
latter. They chose like madmen to try their strength against
the whole power of England, and what with the judicious
plans formed for their subjection, and the admirable manner
in which they were carried out by Sir CHARLES NAPIER and
his gallant army, they were utterly defeated, and their
country was finally annexed to the British eominions.
The grumblers at home, and the selfish and prejudiced,
perhaps venial writers abroad, did everything in their power
to lessen the value of this great accquisition, heaped endless
abuse upon Lord ELLENBOROUGH and Sir CHARLES NAPIER,
said Sinde would never repay the cost of keeping it in subjection
—nay more, it would be the grave of every• European who
ventured to reside in a district exposed to all the diseases
caused by swamps and malaria. And when owing to igno-
rance of the seasons and accidental circumstances, fever
broke out in some places, and affected several regi-
ments, they rejoiced over the result, appealed to their
prediction, and called upon the Government at the Home and
the Indian Board to renounce the conquest, restore the Ameers,
and consequently shut up the navigation of the Indus, and
break off all communication by that great river between Bom-
bay and the rich countries in the north of India. Even the
hostility of the Affghans was disregarded, and the British
dominions, as well as the whole of the Punjab,
were to be exposed to their excursions for the purpose of
mortifying ELLENBOROUGH and NAPIER. The Government,
however, would not listen to their charming ; and to the mili-
tary occupation of Sinde, and the watchful eye of its Gover-
nor, may be entirely attributed the respectful dis-
tance at which AKBAR KHAN and his predatory
hordes keep from the country of the Five Rivers, now, from
its distracted condition, such a tempting prize for the ruthless
Affghans. Of this there cannot be the least possible doubt,
yet not one Indian journal that we have seen attributes the
important circumstance to the real cause. These jour-
nals, too, are utterly silent about the unhealthy state
orSinde, for the best reason in the world, because it
is, in fact, more healthy than many of our Indian pos-
sessions, and the troops, when properly located, are per-
fectly satissed with their condition. Steam navigation is
increasing daily on the river, the productions of countries
through which it flows for fifteen hundred miles are mutually
exchanged, employment is given to the inhabitants, and
the whole population of Sinde, said to be so ardently at•
tached to the hunting Ameers, would regard as the greatest
calamity the return of their old masters. In the meantime
Sir C. NAPIER is actively engaged in putting down
everything like aggression from the west; he is placing the
Government of the interior on a stable and rational basis; the
people are not, as formerly, harassed by endless exactions,
nor denied justice ; slavery is abolished, and merchants,
and traders, and shopkeepers, carry on their business
with as much security and with as certain prospects of
returns for their labour as in the most civilised and well-
regulated communities. These are great triumphs, and are the
more to be prized, as they have been accomplished in oppo-
sition to the almost unanimous opinion of the " fourth estate,"

and either disowned or reluctantly acceded to by the great
body of the India Directors. We never had but one opinion
on the subject, and the result, we are ready to admit, even
surpasses our most sanguine expectations.

Madrid journals of the 16th inst. have been received. The
QUEEN, according to some of them, had been much benefited
by her journey into the provinces. Two magnificent equi-
pages, a present from the Queen of ENGLAND to her MA-
JESTY, had arrived at Astorga. We find no additional intel-
ligence in these papers respecting the proceedings of the
court-martial appointed to try the rioters. The payment of
the new income-tax, it is said, was made without any serious
opposition in the provinces. The Captain-General of Cata-
lonia is determined to put down all resistance to the authori-
ties by the most summary means. The Clamor Public() says
that functionary sent lately for the editor of the Fomento, a
Barcelona paper, and informed him "that if he inserted any-
thing in his paper capable of alarming the province, he would
hang him from the flag-staff of Monjuich, as a warning to all
other journalists."

No btoiinovs was done on the Madrid Bourse on the 16th.

~_

A French provincial journal, the Bien Public of Macon, the
town represented by. M. DE LAMARTINE, gives an account of
a meeting of the Council-General of the Saane-et-Loire, at
which that eloquent orator delivered a long speech, and, from
what we can gather, very much to the purpose. It related
to the circular letter from the Minister of Public Instruction,
calling on the departments to raise funds for gratuitous
education in the colleges of the chief towns. M. DE LA]IAIt
TIN E highly approved of the Government plan, but thought it
might be extended, and not apply only to colleges,
but to primary schools for the lower classes. But
that was only one of the sound doctrines inculcated by
the Hon. Deputy; he turned his attention to the struggle at
present going on between the University and the Church,
and decidedly took a part with the former. He strongly
reprobated the attempt made to entrust the education of
Frenchmen to the clerical body, which he said would form a
new and complete feudal system, and bind the human mind
to a body that founded their faith on traditions, and delighted
in retarding the progress of knowledge. These are plain
truths. They do honour to the speaker, and form
noble contrast to the bigoted schemes of cer-
tain parties in Ireland, who would restore the power of
the Jesuits, and make them the visitors, and guardians, and
. principal teachers also in the new Irish academies. The
progress of this encroaching sect is pointed out in the Consti-
tutionnel, and ought to be a warning to such men as Sir
ROBERT Nous, who joins with Mr. O'CONNELL in denounc-
ing the plan of the Government, which effectually deprives
these dangerous teachers of all manifest influence in these
colleges. The Constitutionnel, after giving the early history
of the Jesuits, states that they have now fourteen provinces,
viz. :—Rome, Sicily, Naples, Turin, Spain, Paris, Lyons, Bel-
gium, England, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Maryland, and
the Missouri. On the Ist of January, 1838, they had in these
provinces 173 establishments and 3,067 members; on the Ist
of January, 1841, they had 211 establishments and 3,565
members ; and on the Ist of January, 1844, 233 establish-
ments and 4,1.33 members; having thus, in six years, in-
creased by 60 establishments and 1,066 members. In 1844
the number of members was increased to 4,527. It thus con-
cludes its remarks :

" The success of the company of Jesus has been constant during
late years in all the provinces. It has everywhere gained ground ;
it has everywhere extended and consolidated its empire ; but the
moat marked progress has been made in Paris and Lyons. The
object of the principal efforts of the Society in our days, is not the
conversion of l'agans and infidels ; it has not, as it had two centuries
ago, more than 2,000 missionaries in the Indies, Japan, and America;
proselytism in distant countries is now only a commercial specula-
tion, an affair of money. The Society for the Propagation of the
Faith paid to the company of Jesus, in 1844, the sum of 336,092 f. 32c.
for 134 priests, 30 novices, and 61 brothers, whom the Society had
devoted to the service of the missions among the Infidels. The field
of battle chosen by the Jesuits in the nineteenth century is Europe—
Europe, which has thrown off the Papal yoke, but which the Pope
and the Society of Jesus would bind by new chains at the foot of the
pontifical throne. Such is the position of the Society of Jesus in the
world. There is little we believe changed in the provinces of France.
The fathers are there divided into small groups, but they are not less
numerous, active, or wealthy."

On Friday, at Eu, the KING, the Qt7Ever, Mme. ADELAIDE,
the Duchess D'AUMALE, and the Prince and Princess of

Saturday the KING, accompanied by the Ministers of the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet.
Sales, 2,000 bales, without any change of prices. The Scotch
Exchange was closed.
The commercial letters received this morning by the mer-
chants connected with the East India and China trade are of
a satisfactory character. The demand for British manufac-
tures is on the increase, and it is satisfactory to find that the
Chinese are gradually becoming purchasers of British fabrics.
It appears, by accounts received from Canterbury, that a
most influential meeting was held there on Monday last, at
which Sir I. L. Goldsmid was present, for the purpose of
taking the most active steps to obtain the assent of Parlia-
ment to a project started last year for railway communica-
tion between London and Dover direct through Canterbury,
&c. It was unanimously resolved that the direct line, as
surveyed by Mr. Vignolles, was most adapted to suit the in-
terests of the districts to pass through, and resolutions in
support of the North Kent line were cordially adopted.
It will be observed by an advertisement in another column
of the Sun, that much interest is taken in the establishment
of a Central Cornwall and Devon line of railway. Many
years ago, a company was formed to carry out in part this
important object, and a considerable sum of money was
spent in making the necessary surveys. Circumstances, how-
ever, occurred which retarded the intentions of the original
company, but, which, under the auspices of the newly in-
tended fine, will no doubt be carried into speedy operation.
The English investments have been without alteration.
Consols are 98% for Money, and 98% % for the Account.
Exchequer-bills are 475. to 495. premium. South Sea Stock
has been done at 111.
The Foreign investments have been very dull. Portuguese
Four per Cents, have realised 58 to %. Spanish Three per

MARKET NE WB.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNEDAY

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our markets,
coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, have been on a
very limited scale ; however, the supply of that article on sale was
small. Although the demand was by no means so active as
quoted in our last report, a full average amount of bu-
siness was transacted at the late improvement in the
quotations. The show of free Foreign Wheat was comparatively
small, while the sale for it was firm, at very full prices. Bonded
Wheats were again inquired after, chiefly for exports, and
holders would not sell except at higher rates. Barley was
In limited supply and steady request, at full prices.
Superfine White Malt sold freely, other kinds slowly, at previous
currencies. For Oats there was a very steady inquiry, and prices
were well supported. Beans and Peas were quite as dear, while the
value of Flour had an upward tendency.

EAST INDIA HOUSE-(THIS DAY.)
The Directors and Proprietors of the East India House held a quar-
terly general Court this day, in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the petition of Akhoond liabeer 011 a Dawen
Metruum and Dewan Diaram, deputed to this country by the ex-
Ameers of Sinde ; and also to hear certain charges preferred against
Lieut.-Col. Ovens, late Resident at Sattara.
At twelve o'clock Sir Henry Willock, Mr. Itogg, 31. P., and a consi-
derable body of the Directors, entered the theatre.
Mr. Peter Gordon, the Proprietor, who, it will be remembered, had
already tested the power of the Court to elect its own Chairman, had
determined this day also to bring the question to issue, and with
that view had taken the chair at least a quarter of an hour before.
On the entrance, therefore, of Sir Henry Willock and his friends a
scene of indescribable confusion ensued, the Chairman ordering the
Hoa. Proprietor to vacate the chair, which the latter resisted, on the
ground that no chairman had yet been elected by the meeting.
The officers of the Court were then called in, and Mr. Gordon was
lifted completely out of the chair, and placed outside of the circle
more immediately used by the Directors. It was quite impossible
to hear amid the noise what was said by the Chairman, Mr. Gordon,
or Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, who, with half a dozen more, were speak-
ing at once, but as nearly as we could judge, the Learned Sergeant
was entering a protest against the proceedings.
Silence being somewhat restored by the clerk reading the minutes
of the last meeting,
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE then rose, and said that he wished to speak
on a question of privilege which involved in the highest degree the
vitality of that Court. He was surprised to find that the Directors
had, ou a previous day, revived a rule which had been
for many years esteemed obsolete, for the purpose of ex-
cluding the public from the gallery. Now, before concluding
with a resolution, he would endeavour to show, in the
first place, that the rule itself was worthless; and secondly,
that even supposing it good, it did not apply to this case. He (Mr.
Sergeant Gazelee) would be the very last to refuse every courtesy to
the Hon. Baronet who then filled the chair, but lie had yet to learn
why he claimed It as a matter of right. lie (Mr. Sergeant Gazelee)
affirmed that the Hon. Baronet had no more right to it than he had.
It was claimed by the same rule which had been applied in order
to exclude the public, and lie would ask why, if they paid such respect
to one part of it, they did net respect it as a whole ? Ile asserted
that those who entrenched themselves behind that barrier had no
more tight to do so than they (the Proprietors outside) had. And
now he would show from the bye-law itself, that it was quite op-
posed to the constitution of that Court, as exhibited in its charter.
By the bye-law it was ordained that no Proprietor, unless possessed
of stock to the amount of 5001., could be perMitted to come into
Court. But by the charter this was declared void, and therefore
they were not bound to respect it. (The Learned Sergeant
then read the charter, which had no such reservation.)
This showed that every Proprietor had a right to he present. Then
what became of their bye-law about Proprietors holding 5001. stock
only being allowed to be present ? The Hon. Proprietor then cited
a case of a bye-law of last century, providing that no Proprietor
holding an office of emolument under the Government should be a
Director, being decided against by eminent legal authorities. on the
ground that no departure could take place from the original charter
Without an Act of Parliament. 'Under these circumstances he was
astonished at the exclusion of the public. He was surprised at the
Directors doing so. In Ibis free country it was the boasted privilege
that deliberations of the kind which that Court was in the habit of
entering upon were open to the public. They need not, therefore,
think they would succeed in carrying on their proceedings in secret.
The people of this country, he was satisfied, would net tolerate it. He
would conclude by moving that the gallery as heretofore be open to
the public.
M r. GEORGE THOMPSON, and another Proprietor, simultaneously se-
conded the motion.
The Cmaramast said that he and the Directors beside him had no
desire that this debate should be conducted with closed doors, and
the fact that such a course was adopted arose simply from the cir-
cumstance that on a late occasion a Proprietor had circulated bills
about town, inviting the public to be present. In consequence
of those notices many persons had assembled, who, in the course of
the argument, had expressed their feeling in such it way as to call
down the displeasure of the Court. He therefore felt that it was his
duty to preserve the respectability and the dignity of the Court,
by acting upou the bye-law which the Learned Sergeant had referred
to. Upon that law he acted, and if any doubt were entertained of
its validity, the better course would be to refer it to the Committee,
who could also decide upon his claim to that chair as the elected
chairman of the East India Company. That, he thought, would be
the proper mode of settling these questions.—(Hear.)
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON supported at some length the motion of
Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, on the ground of the illegality of the bye-law.
When he came to the door of the theatre, he saw outside a notice,
that Proprietors holding 500/. stock should alone be admitted.
By what authority did they put that notice there ?
Why did they assume those powers ? They were, altoge-
ther illegal. They had no more right to put that notice there
than they had to come to his dwelling and deprive him of any of
his domestic comforts. He was sure such an exclusion of the smaller
Proprietors could not be supported in a court of law if a
mandamus were taken out against that notice of exclusion.
Ile appealed to the legal knowledge of many of the Directors pre-
sent, and especially to the Standing Counsel of the Company, whether
such a bye-law could be maintained. After several other observa-
tions of a similar character, the lion. Proprietor concluded by in-
treating the Court to rescind the bye-law. If they maintained it he
would disqualify himself; he would become a proprietor of 4501. stock,
and let them exclude him if they dared. Ile spoke not in menace,
but in sober earnestness, standing on the law, and tile protection
which the Charter gave him.
Mr. Hoco, M.P., said that there was not the slightest disposition
on the part of the Directors to shut out the public from a full and
complete knowledge of that day's or any other day.s proceedings.
From time immemorial, as far as he could inform himself, the
public were admitted, but their doors were not flung open to
all persons from the streets. The House of Commons was not hlls-
eriminately opened, and in that Court admission could be obtained
in a similar manner. If, therefore, any gentleman chose to send in
his card to the Chairman, the Secretary, or any of the Directors, he
would be at once attended to. The best evidence of their wish to
accommodate the public was to be found in the fact, that no impedi-
ment was offered to the representatives of the press, and he trusted
that the gentleman he saw present would do the Court of Directors
justice in this respect.
Mr. R. TWINING supported the views taken by the Directors on
these matters. Pie thought their only object was to preserve order;
and they were, therefore, perfectly justified in the measures tkey
had adopted.
Several Proprietors having spoken to the question,
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE, atter the explanation given by the Chair-
man with reference to the admission of the public to the gallery,
withdrew his motion.

THE RAJA OF SATTARA.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then, in a speech of considerable length,
moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ovans during the period that he filled the office of
Resident at the Court of Sattara.
[The meeting had not concluded when our report left.)

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
There was only one case set down for hearing this day, which
was for goods sold ; the case was undefended.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvaNs.)
The Cor' was principally occupied in hearing summonses under
the new Act. In one case a judgment-paper was produced ; the
judgment kad been entered up for the nominal sum stated in the de-
claration, which was above the actual amount of the debt.
The Learned COMMISSIONEZ refused to admit it in evi-
dence, and the summons was therefore dismissed, leaving the plain-
tiff to amend the judgment.
In another case, a defendant did not appear, but had sent a letter
to the plaintiff's solicitor admitting the service of the summons, and
offering to pay the amount by instalments. The plaintiff pressed for
an immediate order.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the point was, whether he
was not bound to commit him for not appearing, and should do so
on an affidavit of debt and service of the summons being put in.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

William May, a man of decent appearance, with his arai in a sling,
was charged with begging.

William Rainey, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity
Society, stated that about eight o'clock last evening, he saw the pri-
soner beg of several gentlemen in Pall-mall. Witness overheard him
make a statement of his having met with an accident and broken his
arm, and that he had but just come out of the Westminster Hospital.
Oa searching him Is. I Id. in money was found in his pockets, and
also a quantity of broken victuals.

Dir. IlAanwicK asked the defendant If he wished to say anything
in answer to the charge against him ?—The defendant said it was
true he was begging, as the constable had described, but he was in-
duced to do so to make up a sufficient sum to purchase this' morn-
ing, being market morning, some fruit to sell about the streets, to
support in an honest manner his wife and two children.

The constable said he had made inquiries, and had ascertained that
the prisoner had not been either an in or out patient of Westminster
Hospital. - - -

The prisoner said that part of the representation he had made to
obtain charity was certainly false, but he was induced to do so Iv the
fact of his having just returned from transportation. lie was sen-
tenced to seven years' banishment, but after serving four years and a
half he obtained his discharge, and was returning to his wife and
family, whom he had left in London. When at Portsmouth he broke
his arm, and was obliged to go into the hospital there.
Mr. Ilersuwica asked how his wife and children had been supported
while he was away from them ? The prisoner said his wife had
worked for their maintenance in the best way she could.
The wife and the two children were brought forward in the Court
Their clothing, though ragged, was remarkably clean. The elder,
child was a very line-grown girl, about nine years of age, and the
youngest a strong healthy boy, about seven, The wife said Ole had
worked hard to support the children and herself, while her husband
wasabsent, and If be now could sell a little fruit about the streets, they
might manage to obtain a livelihood without troubling the parish.
Mr. HARDWICK said that begging could not be permitted under any
circumstances, but in this case the prisoner should have the benedt
of the circumstances under which he was PitlcC42
lie was ordered to be discharged, with a caution not to be brought
before the Court again.
The prisoner, with much emotien, expressed his thanks for his
release.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A young molly, miss Pear-
son, residing in Gloucester-place, Portman-square, yesterlay received
a serious accident on the head from the falling of a flower-pot. While
returning from Ilyde Perk, through Park-street, Grosvenor-square, a
large flower-pot was blown down, and struck Miss Pearson op
the right side of the head. She was rendered insensible from the
blow, and was carried into the house Prom whence the pot fell,

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

- -
A one-act version of the French farce, Babiole et Joblot,
was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of
A Cabinet Question. The adapter was Mr. Planche—the
hero was Mr. Buckstone. It is needless to add that it was
triumphantly successful. Thus runs the story. Tom Polish
(Buckstone), the foreman of a cabinet-maker, has, at the
risk of his lite, stopped a pair of running horses, and has thus
saved the life of a lady of high rank. The lady smiles upon
Tom, who is dressed in his best, and thanks him in the most
interesting manner. The heart of the cabinet-maker takes
fire ; he declares to the lady that he is Alfonso Montmorency ;
and from that moment loses his time and his money in en-
deavouring to sustain his assumed character, and, if possible,
to win her heart and hand. He neglects his old sweetheart,
Miss Hos,twood (Julia Bennett), his master's neice, who really
loves him, and at last, on being ordered to take some goods to the
lady of his love, he positively refuses to be seen by her in his
working-dress, and is about tto leave his service, notwithstand-
ing the entreaties of Miss Rosewood, when the lady of his
love enters, and he is discovered. He now discovers that this
lady is engaged to a young man of family, whom he had
known as a boy. The young man is poor, but Polish makes
him rich, by discovering for him a secret drawer in a cabinet,
in which is found his uncle's will, leaving him a large fortune.
Of course a double marriage takes place, and Miss Rosewood
becomes Mrs. Tom Polish. Buckstone is exactly fitted in
the character of Polish. The dialogue is written with great
point, and, from the rising to the falling of the curtain, the
audience was in a roar. It was announced for repetition
amidst a hurricane of applause.
