COVENT-GARDEN.

Mr. Laurent has announced a further series of
twenty-four nights, which commences upon Tuesday
week, when Shakspere's first part of Henry the Fourth
will be revived. Henry Betty's engagement is ex-
ended to five nights more, and he personates, for the
first time in London, the chivalrous Hotspur, which
will be followed by his appearance in Othello and
William Tell. The celebrated American comic actor,
Mr. Hackett, is engaged, and opens in Falstaff.
The new play of Honesty, to be produced to-night
at Covent-garden, is written by Mr. Spicer, and will
be introduced to the audience with all the aids of
scenic and costume correctness in each department.
The concluding scene of the play, " Smithfield in the
Olden Time," has occupied the attention of the artists
in the scene-room some time, and embraces the entire
stage, and will present the exact appearance of that
portion of London at the period of the play (Eliza-
beth's), with the preparations for execution by the
stake, and the " wage" of battle. Douglas Trafford,
Francis Gage, and Julia, will be supported by Mr.
Vandenhoff, Mr. J. Vining, and Miss Vandenhoff.
The piece has been got up under the direction of Mr.
E. Stirling.

ARREST OF ZURBANO.

A Bayonne letter of the 22d inst., just received,
announces the arrest of Zurbano, in the neighbour-
hood of Logrono, on the 19th inst. Ihe intelligence
was received by a French courier, who met at Bur-
gos the express conveying the tidings to Madrid.
Another account unfortunately confirms this news,
and adds, that he was shot without trial on the 20th.
The accounts of his arrival at Lisbon had therefore
probably been put forth in order to deceive his
pursuers.

We have been informed, and we hope it is true,
that the Admiralty have it in contemplation to improve
the dress of the midshipmen of the Navy, by giving
them gold aigudlettes when in full dress, similar to those
worn by aspirants in the French and other Navies; for
nothing can be more unmeaning than the white patch on
the collar. The mates, too, we have heard, are to wear
goldfrogs in full dress, without the bullion, which will be
a great improvement. The uniform of the higher grades
also requires amendment, as it is impossible at present
to distinguish the different ranks of officers._Naval and

LOAD RANELAGH TO LORD ♦BHRDBEI.

Dec. 12, 1844.
My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your
Lordship's letter of yesterday, and I sincerely regret
that I was not, by an earlier intimation of your purpose,
spared the pain of my last communication.
I will here own that the neglect with which your
Lordship was pleased to meet even my request for as in-
terview previous to my departure for Bourges (when, in
addition to this, a question was to be discussed of in-
finitely higher importance), tended very considerably to
increase the regret which I felt on receiving your letter
of the 4th instant.
Upon this point, therefore, I have only to add that
your Lordship has correctly interpreted my meaning. I
never, directly or indirectly, come into hostile collision
with the troops of my Sovereign, and with this declara-
tion I leave the case in your Lordship's hands.

for some time past has been extremely limited, or yarns

ABERDEEN,

LORD RANELAGII TO LORD ABERDEEN.

Dec. 7, 1844.
My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your
Lordship's letter of the 4th inst., and I observe, with
more regret than surprise, that it contains no answer to
the very simple inquiry to which it purports to be a reply,
In the year 1837, when I first heard of Lord Palmer-
ston's instructions, I received a letter, from which the
following is an extract. It was written by one, and sanc-
tioned by two others, of your Lordship's colleagues :
" What you have done is calculated to make you stand
well with the country generally. The petty spite of
Palmeston you may well afford to despise. These people
cannot always be in power, and you have gained a re-
putation that you have no reason to regret, however it
may vex Lord Palmerston. I think that being quoted
as you were by the Duke of Wellington, in the House of
Lords, is full of compensation for what Lord Palmerston
may say or do against you. Upon the whole, therefore,
I would advise you to remain quiet for the present, and
not suffer yourself to be annoyed by things which the
petty malice of temporary authority may attempt against
you."
With these words before me, I did not think I could
be extravagant in expecting justice from your Lordship.
For this injustice Lord Palmerston might plead,
first, the insensible bias of party, and next, perhaps, an
erroneous report, which, had he been in office, he would
probably not have refused to correct. But what grounds
has your Lordship even to palliate, much less to justify,
this proceeding? I can imagine none, unless, indeed, I
am to understand by your concluding paragraph that I
have had the misfortune to offend your Lordship by the
mention of public principle.
My Lord, of the rights of Don Carlos to the throne of
Spain it is neither for your Lordship nor myself to de-
termine. It is a question for the Spanish nation.
I have a right to remind your Lordship that by main-
taining other and opposite doctrines, by advancing to
places of trust and authority, as your Lordship has done,
and is continuing to do, men whose chief distinction is
their advocacy of Radical opinions, you bring a reproach
infinitely more humiliating than honest failure upon
your cause, and upon those who have the misfortune to
trust in, or be associated with, your Lordship in office.

which an order for their removal to Sutton was obtained,
which order was appealed against at the sessions, and
quashed. The overseers then told Allinson that they
would not render any further assistance either to him
or his family in the way of out-door relief, as they
did not belong to their parish. Allinson on this an-
nouncement made an application to one of the
magistrates on the subject, who advised him to apply
to the overseers for relief, adding that it was their duty
to find 'a settlement for him if he did not belong to Stor-
wood. Allinson made application to him accordingly,
and they then agreed to allow him Is. 6d. a week towards
his rent. Allinson again received notice to quit from
his landlord, and on his applying to the overseers to
know what he had better do, they told him they had
nothing to do with him, and that he had better remove
his family to Sutton at once. Allinson refused to do
this, and requested Paxton would go with him before a
magistrate, whose order he would willingly obey.
Paxton told him that if he would not go to Sutton as he
had been told, he might go to the devil. Allinson
again went to a magistrate, who again told him the
overseers were bound to relieve him or find him a
settlement. On the 9th of October Allinson was turned
out of his cottage, Paxton refusing to have anything
more to do Kith him. Allin&on's wife subsequently ap-
plied for a lodging to a person named Pagett, a servant
of Jennings, who agreed to let him have a lodging for
one night, but Jennings having heard of it, came there
and turned them out of the house. She then took her
children to Paxton's house, where she was allowed to
remain with them that night in the kitchen. The
Learned Counsel, in conclusion, urged that the case was
one which entitled him to the rule he had applied for.
Mr. Justice WILLIAsis said there could be no doubt
that the parties complained of were amenable to the law
for their conduct. But the case was not one that called
for the prompt interference of that Court. It was one
that might be disposed of by indictment, and did not call
for the interference of that Court.—Application refused.

SMITH V. BEESLEY.

His HONOUR said that in this case he had had the mis-
fortune to differ from the Master in some of his conclu-
shies, but, at the same time, he thought it duo to the
Master to say that he had great reason to complain of
whoever it was, who had drawn up the decree on which
he was to act, for it was clear that it ought to hare been
prefaced with an explanation for the Master's guidance.
The case was cue of disputed accounts between the as-
signees of Mr. Charles Roberts, innkeeper, and dealer in
horses, of the New Inn, St. Alban's, in the city of Ox.
ford, the trustees having taken exception to some of the
items of the Master's report. Having entered at length
into the details of the case, his Honour decided that the
three first exceptions must be allowed generally, and the
fourth must also be allowed, except so far as related to
the money paid to a firm called Wickens, Wilde, and
Gabriel, with liberty to either party to except again to
the report of the Master, to whom it was to be refened
back to be reviewed.

BAIL COUR7', Jan. 25.
THZ QUEEN V. THE OVERSEERS OF STORWOOD--
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. PARHLEY applied to his Lordship for a rule,
calling upon William Rexton and Robert Jennings, the
overseers of the parish of Storwood, in the East Riding
of Yorkshire, to show cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against them for illegal, harsh, and
cruel conduct in the execution of their office. It ap-
peared from the statement of the Learned Counsel, and
the affidavits filed in support of it, that the defendants
were both persons of property residing in the above
parish, and that in the month of August, 1842, a labour-
ing man named IV. Allinson, together with his family,
resided in that place; and that in consequence of a very
long illness, Allinson was compelled to apply to the
parish officers for assistance, and which they ultimately
obtained. At the expiration of a month the man was
sufficiently recovered to be able to work again, and had
no occasion to make another application to the
parish officers for assistance until March, 1843,
when he again applied for relief, and obtained
six shillings. In the following Midsummer the
parish officers evinced an anxiety to get rid of Allinson
and his wife altogether, and they induced Allinson's
landlord to give him notice to quit the little cottage
which he occupied in the parish. Storwood contained
only twenty-five houses, and the overseers in so small a
locality naturally possessed very considerable influence
over the inhabitants, not one of whom would allow a poor
man as tenant of his house, if they expressed a wish that
he should be removed. Allinson's landlord, accordingly,
gave him notice to quit, and ultimately turned him out
of the cottage. This took place in July, 1844. Allin-
son's family had considerable difficulty in procuring an-
other lodging, but they at length did so, and the over-
seers allowed ls. 6d. a week towards their support; after

LORD RANELAOH TO LORD ABERDEtN.

May 28, 1844.
My Lord,—l deeply regret that your Lordship did
not, by granting the interview which I solicited previ-
ously to my departure for Bourges, render it unnecessary
for me to seek, by my last letter, the answer which I
might then clearly have obtained, and to offer the re-
joinder which it now becomes my duty to make.
The object of Don Carlos was to obtain, by the friendly
mediation of your Lordship, the adoption of measures
calculated to insure the pacification of Spain. Such
measures could not, in the opinion of his Royal High-
ness, be effectual, nor command the assent of all parties,
unless they involved a compromise between the male and
female lines in the blood royal.
The propositions which I had the honour of submit-
ting to your Lordship rested upon this principle. But

Carlos are so vague as not to be very intelligible," and

The suggestions of Don Carlos were, it is true, capable
of modifications, according to the circumstances of the
case, but these modifications lay, all of them within
limits, which, however ample, were very clearly defined,
and the entire plan was based upon a foundation no less
simple and intelligible than the marriage of the present
Queen of Spain to the Prince of the Asturias. • •
If details were left open, it was that the path to a
settlement so important should be unembarrassed and
free; and Don Carlos was willing, on the principles
which I have here set forth, and within the limits which
I had the honour clearly and fully to describe to your
Lordship, to abide by the decision of the English
Government. RANELAGH.

LORD ♦BERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGS.

Foreign-office, Dec. 10, 1844.
My Lord,—Having explained the true cause, as as-
signed, of the prohibition referred to, I thought it right
entirely to disavow participation in principles which
your Lordship seemed disposed to impute to me, so far,
at least, as they related to the claims of Don arlos to
the throne of Spain. Ide not presume to question the
perfect liberty of your Lordship to form your own opi-
nions upon this or any other subject ; at all events, I
have been equally consistent with your Lordship, for I
have never ceased, during the last ten years, to regard
Don Carlos as an usurper, against whose anarchical and
rebellious attempts my best wishes have been invariably
expressed for the cause of " legal order and constitu-
tional right."
But I readily adopt the 'criterion referred to by your
Lordship, and leave the pretensions of Don Carlos to be
dealt with by the Spanish people, who, indeed, I ima-
gine had long since pronounced their decision. I have
no wish to discuss the correctness of your Lordship's
convictions, or of my own—it is sufficient for me to esta-
blish the fact of this total divergency; and this difference
is not less with respect to the sentiments of my three un-
known col'eagues, which your Lordship has quoted in
your letter. _ _

I know nothing of the letters of Lord John Hay and
Mr. Charles Wood ; nor is it at all necessary that I
should do so. The word of an English gentleman, under
such circumstances, is quite sufficient for me ; and, if I
have interpreted your letter correctly, I shall, without
hesitation, and with pleasure, submit to her Majesty the
propriety of cancelling Lord Palmerston's dispatch of
January 31, 1837. ABERDEEN.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(SATURDAY.)
POISONOUS CANDLES.—Mr. Blackmore attended
before the Lord Mayor on behalf of Messrs. Francis
Tucker and Co., wax and tallow-chandlers, to hear his
Lordship's decision as to receiving the oath and de-
claration of Messrs. Tucker and Co., that they never
had used arsenic in making composite or any other
candles in their manufactory.
The LORD MAYOR said he had come to the resolu-
tion that he had not power to receive the declaration ;
upon which
Mr. Blackmore stated, that in consequence of the
doubts expressed by his Lordship at the former hear-
ing, he had been instructed by his client to lay a case
before the Solicitor-General, who, on the perusal of it,
had written the following opinion :
" I am of opinion that the Lord Mayor would not
be justified in taking the proposed declarations.

BRUTAL TREATMENT lIT A SCHOOLMASTER.—A
man named Michael Donovan, the master of the
Roman Catholic charity school near Clarendon-square,
St. Pancras, was brought before Mr. Greenwood, at
five o'clock in the evening, charged with unmerci-
fully beating a lad nine years of age, who had been
committed to his protection.
Before the evidence was given the boy's back was
exhibited, which presented a frightful spectacle, being
covered with bruises. A medical gentleman present,
a total stranger to all the parties interested, proceeded
to examine it, and declared that the child had been
treated in such a way as was calculated to produce a
disease of the lungs to one of so tender an age.
The complainant was then sworn, and said that on
Thursday night, after he had retired to rest, his
master came to his room, where there were ten other
boys who had retired to rest, and in consequence of
his being discovered with his stockings on the de-
fendant beat him with a strap, and inflicted the in
juries he had received.
Mr. GREENWOOD asked the little fellow how many
stripes his master gave him ?—lie said he did not
know.

Mr. GREENWOOD—Is your father here? Boy—
No ; he is in Bristol.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Where is your mother? Boy
—She is dead, Sir.
Mr. GREENWOOD (to the defendant)—This is a
serious charge. What have you to say ? Defendant
—The boy had been often told not to go to bed with
his stockings, and he knew that it was aglinst the
rules. He was found with them on on Thursday
night; and having been told of it, I gave him two
stripes with a strap. lle then got under the bed, and
I called him many times to come out. He would
not, and I pulled him up, and gave him two stripes
more.

Mr. GREENWOOD observed that the boy's back was
in that state that he would not exercise summary
jurisdiction, and he would send him to be tried before
twelve of his countrymen. The worthy magistrate
then ordered that some of the intelligent boys that
were in the same bed-room as complainant should be
brought as evidence on Monday, and the defendant
, was held to bail until that day. _

one of the former; and when unsnufted altogether, it required
sloven pounds to be equal to one pound of Palmer's. After al-

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a tna ority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish even• one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.
" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous : tyle in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The average price of wheat
last week was 161. 55e., and that of rye 10f. 31c. per
hectolitre. The duties on impartation are still 37f.
50c. on wheat, and 21f. 50c. on rve, per 1,000 kilo-

per 1,000 kilogrammes.
A letter from the Hague says, that his Majesty the
King of the Netherlands had, by a decree dated the
18th, arrinted M. Rochussen to the post of Go-
vernor-General of the Dutch possessions in India.
A Valenciennes journal says, "Complaints are
made in Belgium of the great quantities of small
French coin which are in circulation in the communes
on the frontier, within four or five leagues of the
French territory. This is a natural conse4uence of
the sale of tobacco, salt, sugar, coffee, and other ar-
ticles sold retail by the little Belgian shopkeepers, to
the inhabitants of the nearest frontier of France, who,
finding that they can supply themselves on lower
terms in Belgium do not hesitate to do so with Out
troubling themselves about the Custom-house officers.
If the Belgians reap the profits they must bear the
inconvenience. The French peasant who purchases a
little tobacco, or a pound of sugar-candy, cannot pay
except in sous, since he comes from France, and hence
the immense quantity of small French coins on the
Belgian frontier, proceeding from very extensive re-
tail trade with the French peasants.—Brussels papers,
Jan. 24.
TURKISH FRONTIERS, JAN. 16.—0 n the 15th of

Allgemeine Zeitung (from which the above is extracted)
has an article of nearly two columns from the Lloyd's
Austrian, which positively affirms and shows in great
detail that the plan is perfectly practicable, and would
prove very profitable. Ilopes are entertained here
that the treaty of the 22d of September, 1840, be-
tween Austria and Russia, will shortly be carried
into execution. The Sulima mouth of the Danube
is said to be more and more choked up with sand, so
as to he in some places hardly more than eight or nine
feet deep.

LORD RANELAGR TO LORD ABERDEEN.

Dec. 20, 1844.
My Lord,—On reviewing the subjects upon which I
have recently had the honour of being in correspond-
ence with your Lordship, I consider that they are of
such deep and general interest, and the opinions which
you have been pleased to express are so important, that
I cannot help feeling that they ought to be communi•
sated to the public.
Your Lordship is reported to have expressed your-
self as entertaining no personal objection to the produc-
tion of the letters in return to an order of the House
of Lords ; but from what you held to be the non-official
character of the correspondence, you aro said to have
advised the House to abstain from establishing an incon-
venient Parliamentary precedent.
I might consider this as a sufficient assurance that
your Lordship would not now object to the publication
of the entire series ; but I think it just, before taking
such a step, to ascertain whether you have any personal
wish upon that point. RANELAGH.
