CORK THEATRE.
After an absence from this city of ten years, during
which period the inhabitants of the capita:B and princi •
pal towns of Europe and America have testified th. it
admiration of her genius in the most flattering and sub-
stantial manner, that highly-gifted. actress, Madame
Celeste, made her appearance at the Victoria Theatre,
before a full and fashionable audience. She was sup-
ported by Mr. Webster, whose reputation as an actor,
and talent as manager of some of the principal London
theatres are well known. When last in Cork, those who
witnessed the performance of Celeste in the Arab Boy,
Alp the Renegade, the Wept of Wl:Orton Wish, and oth--r
characters which she has made exclusively her own,
deemed the foreign aid of language superflu >us—su ex-
pressive were her gesticulations and attitudes, and so
full of meaning and eloquence were her looks white
pourtraying in silent* the feelings which influ,n.- ad her.
On the present occasion she has come before the public
in quite a different range of characters, •-% hich 11.7 e
admirably calculated to display to advi.ii.t„e
her varied talents. The sensation she created
last evening in the character of Marie Duetutge,
written expressly for her by Mr. Boyle Bernard, showed
a just appreciation of her powers in developing that
very interesting drama. We have never seen anything
more painfully affecting or fearfully real than the mad-
ness of Marie, and it will be long, indeed, before the
impression created by her powerful acting in the most
striking scenes will be effaced from the reco!lection of
the audience. Mr. Webster was exceedingly happy in
the character of Frong, who is an admirable -mire on the
present mania for speculation, and convuls-d the h, .rise
with laughter by the effective manner in which he deli-
vered some passages. After the curtain fell, Madame
Celestewas called for amid the most deafening applause,
and was greeted when she made her appearance from
box, pit, and gallery, in the most enthusiastic manner.
The performance concluded with a laughable afterpiece,
entitled the Trumpeter's Daughter, in which Celeste, as
Madelon, and Webster, as Philip, won renewed applause
by their admirable acting. In the lazt scene the original
Polka was danced by Cileste in a style never equalled in
this city. It was loudly encored, and the curtain fell
amidst murmurs ofapp robati on.— Cor k Southern Reporter.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.
On Thursday. a Commission of Lunacy was opened before Mr.
Commissioner Barlow and a jury of eighteen gentlemen of the
county of Surrey, of which Thomas !cockle, E-q., was fore.
man, at the Bridge-house Hotei, London bridge, to ii.quire
nto the state of mind of Saville Godfrey, Esq., aged 74, de.
scribed in the commission as of No. 10, Mount-gardens, Lam-
beth, gentleman.
The commission was taken out by Messrs. Hayward, father
and son, first cousins of Mr. Godfrey, who in early life stag as
eminent boat-builder, at Stangate, and latterly known to the
aquatic world under the. firm of Godfrey arid Searle. There
appeared to be no doubt as to the insanity of the unfair-
tunate gentlemau. It was the custom with Mr. Godfrey
to meet his family every Christmas, and he generally took
the chair on these festive occasions, doing the honours
of the table in the most becemini; manner. A t the
Christmas, 1842, a visible change took place. Instead of sit-
ting at the head of the table, the chair was taken by Master
Coombes, a youth of 16, and during the feast, Mr. Godfrey
mixed brandy with wine, to drink the health of the ladies. He
was then tremulous, and was soon taken from the room. From
this time he acted in a strange manner, and laboured under the
impression that he saw figures in the trees, and that men were
in the house.
Dr. Sutherland saw him on the 29th of April, when he was
decidedly insane. He was of opinion that his mind might
have been affected in 1842, from the evidence he had heard, but
it might not have developed itself until a later period.
Mr. Godfrey was introduced, and soon gave sufficient evi-
dence of an impaired intellect.
The case was about to be opened on the part of the lunatic by
Mr. Coombes, when—
The foreman of the jury said they (the jury) thought they
could save time and expense to all parties it they were allowed
to consult for a short time together.
After some considerable confusion among all parties, the
room was cleared, and on its being re-opened,
The Foreman said the jury were all agreed to the following
verdict :—" That Saville Godfrey is of unsound mind, and had
been so from the 29th of April, 1E345."

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-THE RESULT OF INTOXICA.
TION.—On Friday morning, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o'clock, a frightful accident occurred to George
Ackland, an engineer, residing in Goodge.street, Totten-
ham.court-road. It appears that Ackland, some few months
ago, received a legacy, under the will of a deceased relative.
since which time he has totally neglected his business and
abandoned himself to habits of intoxication. Yesterday
morning, about the hour named, he was brought home to
his lodgings by a companion frantic with driuk, anu ate,
some considerable difficulty way safely conveyed toted. Shortly
afterwards, loud screams were heard proce,,ding fri m a fellow
lodger living underneath, and It is supposed that In barking out of
the window Ackland must have overba,anced himself, am was
thereby precipitated Into the yard, with extreme violence
upon his head. Medical assistance was promptly procured, when
it was ascertained that the unfortunate man had sustained a i eater•
sive fracture of the skull. From the nature of the injutie. he has
received there are not the remotest hop.s of his recovery.

continuing good. The mills are fully employed, and no person is
idle who is able and willing to work. Mary of cur manufacturers
are gradually extending their business, and more goods are made
at present than at any former period. The population is of course
increasing, and were a stranger with a family to arrive here at pre.
sent, they would find it difficult to get a house to live in.—Kele.
