the English stage. The choruses are well got up, and
the piece is put upon the stage in the same complete
and excellent manner in which operas are invariably got
up at this delightful little theatre. At the fall of the
curtain Mr. Wood led on Mrs. Wood, and Weiss, whose
fine bass voice told admirably in Oroveso, led on Miss
Grant. They were all received with the most rapturous
applause. The opera was given out for repetition on
Thursday ; and it was at the same time announced that
this evening General Thomas Thumb, an American
gentleman, only 25 inches high, would make his first
appearance before an English audience.

Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the pow& to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as beat to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

TEN THOUSAND POUNDS REWARD!

This reward will be give by MOSES and ON,
(Who have certain good: easons for what t)iey've done,)
To any, applying, when once they have shown,
A warehouse whose articles rival our own.
We refer not alone to the City's small sphere,
But the whole of Great Britain's wide land, far and near.
Nay more! we will challenge the universe round.
And whenever the MOSES'S rivals are found,
Th, " Reward," above mentioned (don't misunderstand),
Will, without hesitation, be paid on demand;
Though " Ten Thoasand Pounds be the sum that's at stake,
We are, certainly, far from beginning to quake I"
For we know that throughout the whole world there is none,
That can rival the warehouse of MOSES and SON."
Our Clothing, besides bring best in the trade,
Is sold at such prices as never were paid.
We've choice" Taglioni's," with "lining right through,"
As low as " nine shillings"---what more can we do?
We've beautiful " Chesterfields," made in first styl ,"
" Ten shillings and sixpence" (no wonder you smile)!
Our " strong Winter Trousvrs," which " warmly we line,"
" Four and sixpence" will buy ; and we've " doeskin" for nice."
"Three and Sixpence," a " Warm Winter Vest" will obtain,
And a " Dress Coat" (" well.edg'd") " twenty shillings" will gain.
For "Thirty-two shillings" we'll make one to measure,"
And the " very best," " Fifty-five shillings" with pleasure.
Our " Trousers to measure," you'll say are not dear,
For " Twenty-six shillings," we've " best Kerseyreere,"
And " doe,kin to order " for " Ten" are made here.
We could mention a Thousand such prices as these,
But that we will beg to defer, if you please.
One question we'd ask (for we've very good grounds),
After making our statements, which, doubtless, astounds,
What chance do you stand of your " Ten Thousand Pounds ?"1

Mr. MESMER stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff,
who was about 39 years of age, was a member of the Eng-
lish bar, to which he was called in 1838. The defendant was
also a member of the same profession, and was a barrister on
the Home Circuit. The plaintiff married, in 1831, the lady
whose misconduct had given TIN to
,the present investiga-
rtion,. she being: at that time tha widow of a Mr. Blair,
whom she had married in India, and as his widow she en-
joyed a pension of 300/. a-year. She had also a fortune
of about 6,000/. when the plaintiff married her. In
October, 1837, the plaintiff and his wife and family
went to live at Melbury-terrace, Dorset-square, and they
continued to reside there till Miehalmas, 1840, when they re-
moved to Melcombe-place. There they remained till the
month of May or June, 1842, when that house was given up,
and Mrs. Fraser went to reside at York-buildings. The
plaintiff and the defendant were intimate acquaintances, and

ASINGLE BOTTLE of BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY may now be obtained in a perfectly genuine state.
This convenient arrangement for both vendor and purchaser, and
their mutual security against deeeption, is effected by the use of
BETTS'S PATENT METALIC CAPSULE, made of pure and Solld
Metal (not Tin-foil) which completely encloses the cork and mouth
of the bottle, and is embossed with the words "BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, 7, Smithfield-bars," the fac-simlle of which is engraved
on a label affixed to each bottle.

111. SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a corn•
plete History of the Peerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informs.
Lion of its People.

In the present day it is impossible to produce anything new and
usefld without exciting the cupidity of imitators. Already attempts
are made to mystify the identity of the original and genuine article,
by foisting upon the publie the contents of bottles having a Tiu-foll
covering, falsely denominated "a neat metallic capsule." J. T. BETTS
and CO. therefore deem it essential to impress upon purchasers the
absolute necessity of comparing the Embossed Capsules with the
Labels, as an infallible mode of detecting fraudulent substitutions.
BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, thus protected, may be obtained
of the undermentioned Wine and Spirit Merchants, at 3s. 6d. per
Bottle, Bottles included ; or, at 18s. per Gallon, as heretofore, at
Eishopsgate-street....W. Stevens, ICo. 78 and 80.

both had chambers at No, 11, King's Bench-walk. The de-
fendant was frequently invited to the plaintiff's house, and
he availed himself of the opportunities which those invita-
tions afforded to seduce Mrs. Fraser's affections from her hus-
band. Unfortunately the plaintiff's home was not a happy
one ; his wife's temper was ungovernable ; and from that
cause he was frequently absent. In 1842 the plaintiff, who
had become a surety for some other persons, fell into embar-
rassments, and applied to the defendant for his advice. The
defendant recommended him to go out of the country, and he
determined to conceal himself, which he accordingly did.
Before, however, the house in Melcombe-place was given up,
the plaintiff gave the defendant a bill of sale, which was to
be used for the benefit of Mrs. Fraser and the children ; and
Mrs. Fraser accordingly disposed of all her furniture in Mel-
combe-place, but kept her new residence in York-buildings a
secret from her husband. Mr. Fraser, baffled in his inquiries
after his wife, resolved to go to India; but the execution of
that determination was delayed by his receiving an accidental
communication which led to further inquiries, and to the com-
mencement of the present action. The Learned Counsel then
entered into a statement of the facts which he was in a con-
dition to prove, upon which he relied to make out the plain-
tiff's case, and which will be found detailed in the examina-
tion of the following witnesses :
Quintus Vivian—l am the brother of the plaintiff's wife.
I was present at her marriage with the plaintiff. Ido not
know the amount of her fortune. I should say it was about
10,0001. The plaintiff and his wife did not live on good.
terms. She was not beautiful. The plaintiff was a hand-
some man, and my sister was very proud of him and his
appearance. Latterly she became jealous, and seemed very
unhappy.
. Elizabeth Arnold—l was the defendant's laundress from
December, 1840, till the Saturday before Whit-Sunday, 1843.
His chambers are at No. 11, King's Bench-walk, in the area.
The plaintiff's chambers were on the ground floor in the same
house. About a week after I went into the defendant's ser-
vice the defendant had a dinner party at his chambers. I
cannot say whether the plaintiff was there. Mrs. Fraser was.
I saw Mrs. Fraser there very often afterwards. She used to
dine there. She first came with a double knock, but the boy
used to laugh at her, and then she came with a single one.
I have seen a cap, or apron, or a shawl left on the sofa
when I came in the morning. There was a fire lighted
in the bed-room during the first winter. When I have
come in the morning I could hear people talking in
the bedroom. I heard a cough in the bedroom. It was a
phthisicky cough. Mrs. Fraser had a cough of that descrip-
tion. Mr. Bagley lost some spoons and forks about Whitsun-
tide, 1843, and discharged me for that. 'When I left Mr.
Bagley I told him, if I had known he was going to serve me
so, he should not have had any spoons to lose. I meant by
that that that I would have fetched Mr. Fraser downstairs
while his wife was with Mr. Bagley. Mr. Fraser was upstairs
several times while his wife was in Mr. Bagley's chambers.
Mr. Fraser used Mr. Caarteen's room.

The WEEKLT CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of
the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon-
don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and
arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of
which it gives a much fuller and far snore satisfactory summary than
any of its Contemporaries. And this it Ls enabled to do from the
principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted; for while
the Weekly Chronicle will he found to give due attention to literature,
science, the tine arts, the drama, and coven to sporting intelli-
gence, so far as this latter can be said to Interest the general
reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are
allowed to supersede the propor objects of a newspaper—those sub-
jects of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the
well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of
Home and (7olonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate
of extended suffrage—of the ballot-of a shortened duration of Par-
liament—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the °Lineation
of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re-
adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, and of other measures
of justice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and
abroad—of a repeal of the °di° income-tax, with a reduction of the
expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it
treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone ; whilst
Its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was,
among other Instances of early Intelligence, the first to announce to
the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the
Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts
were announced In the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they
were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle
also announced recently the intended read of Earl de Grey—a state-
ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go-
vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from,
and which now passes unchallenged as a fact.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con-
tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in
some instances anticipating the average of last year by a woek ; and,
to effect this, every department of the paper has been scrupulously
revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the oonvenience of our
Ilk:Lids, the three ffillowing editions are published ; and, by attending
to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one
preferred, and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be
prevented:-
1, An edition for exclusive circulation In the provinces on the Sa-
turday, marked " Country Edition."
2. Ail edition for circulation In London on the Saturday, and in the
country on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition."
3. An edition for exclusive circulation in the metropolis and its en-
virons on the Sunday, marked " Town Edition."
The price is 6,1., for which the Weekly Chronicle may be obtained
of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post, paid iu advance, at a
,subscription et 265. per annum, 13s. the half-year, and .6s. 6d. the
suarter.--4iold by all newsvenders in town and country.—Offlee, 337,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Last. night Mr. Charles Kean erformed the part of
Macbeth for the first time this season The house was well
attended, and considerable anxiety was manifested to witness
his performance of this, one of his favourite characters. He
was more than usually successful in his delivery of the soli-
loquy, " Is this a dagger which I see before me," which he
commenced in a voice greatly subdued, and increased it in
power and volume as he proceeded. The climax—
" ---- There's no such thing.—
It is the bloody business, which informs
Thus to mine eyes,"
was finely effective. The part of Lady Macbeth was per-
formed by Mrs. Warner in a manner which compels us to
admit that she very ably represented a very difficult cha-
racter. The new ballet of the Beauty of Ghent was repeated
with the same success with which it was received on its first
representation on Saturday night.

FRENCH PLAYS.
Les Petites Mise'res de la vie Humaine is one of those light,
amusing little fanfarronades which appear in such countless
variety at the St. James's Theatre, and possesses but little
intrinsic merit as a composition. Cartigny and Barqui, how-
ever, by their excellent acting, contrived to convert the little
misfortunes which speckle the monotony of our existence into
amusements of very considerable dimensions, and the audience
were cheated into laughing outright at those misb-es which,
perhaps, they will not endure with so good a grace when
they jostle upon them in every-day life. -We shall probably
see this vaudeville shortly upon the stage of the Haymarket
or Adelphi, where it will be brought out under the allitera-
tive and attractive title of " Misery for the Million," as
nearly all the jokes and the jests of the whole piece are well
worthy of the translator's powers. Les lifemoires du Diable,
in which the pretty Madame Doche was so successful last
season, was reproduced for the afterpiece, with an entirely
new caste. To-morrow, being Ash Wednesday, there will be
no performance.

Thomas Burt examined by Mr. THESIGER—I was formerly
clerk to the defendant. I entered his service in 1841, and
continued in it about nine months. I now attend to a
business for my sister at Boulogne. She keeps the `White
Horse there. I have been brought over as a witness. Mrs.
Arnold was the laundress at the defendant's chambers
while I was there. Mr. Bagley and Mr. Fraser were
such intimate• friends that they were always together.
Mrs. Fraser used to come to the defendant's chambers.
The defendant generally opened the door himself when she
came. Mrs. Fraser had a very peculiar cough. When I
have come in the morning I have heard this cough in the
bed-room. When I came and heard this cough of which I
have spoken in the morning, I was generally sent out upon
some trifling errand, and when I returned there was nobody
but the defendant in the chambers.
Cross-examined by Mr. am now 19 years old.
I left the defendant's service about the end of October, 1841.
I left his service because he turned me away. He turned me
away for some little trifling thing I had done. I was turned
away for having stolen his property and pawned it. Mr.
Bagley afterwards took me back into his service. I have not
the least idea when this took place. I began to reb the de-
fendant just about the time when I left him. "While I was
there, the plaintiff and the defendant were like brothers.
Mrs. Fraser used to come down to Mr. Bagley's chambers
and take wine with him frequently. Mr. Fraser very often
opened the door and walked in. There was nothing to pre-
vent any person from doing so.
William Whitelaw, examined by Mr. LUCAS—I was at
one time page to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her service in
April, 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser then lived in Melcombe-
place. Mrs. Fraser has given me notes to take to Mr.
Bagley in the Inner Temple He sometimes came to see my
mistress. He dined there, and stopped as late as eleven or
twelve o'clock at night, and sometimes till one o'clock. On
some of those occasions Mr. Fraser was out of town.
Thomas Smithers, formerly in the defendant's service, gave
evidence as to the intimacy of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Bagley,
and the visits of Mrs. Fraser to Mr. Bagley's chambers.
Jessie Salter examined by Mr. THESIGER—I am a widow.
I was formerly a nurse to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her ser-
vice in August, 1839, and remained with her nearly four
years. I left her in the beginning of June last year. She
first lived in Melbury-terrace and afterwards in Melecombe-
place. My master was frequently absent from town. I
knew the defendant. I frequently saw hint in Melcombe-
place. He often dined there. He dined there. every Sun-
day, and sometimes four or five days successively. He ap-
Reared to be on very intimate and friendly terms with Mr.
Fraser. Mrs. Fraser was of a very violent temper; but I
never saw Mr. Fraser unkind or violent towards his wife. I
have at different times observed her violence towards him.
I recollect her being out at night many times. The defen-
dant has come to Melcombe-place when the plaintiff has not
been in town. Sometimes he would come to lunch, and take
Mrs. Fraser out, and then return to dinner and spend the
evening with her. They usually remained in the dining-
room. There was a sofa in that room. When Mr. Bagley
was not there visitors were usually shown into the dining-
room ; but when he was there, they were invariably shown
into the drawing-room. I never went suddenly into the
dining-room but once, while Mr. Bagley was there.
Mrs. Fraser had sent up to the nursery to say that she
wanted me, and I came down immediately to the dining-
room and opened the door. Mrs. Fraser was standing
with her back to the door, and the defendant was lying
on the sofa. Mrs. Fraser said to him, " Ring the bell,
my dear, for Elizabeth." Elizabeth was the name of the
cook. Mr. Bagley looked hard at Mrs. Fraser, and then Mrs.
Fraser turned round and told me very sharply what she
wanted. I have known Mr. Bagle7 go up to the nursery
when the children were in bed. No other gentleman who
visited the house did that. Mrs. Fraser was confined on the
6th of October, 1841. The plaintiff was there, and appeared
interested and anxious about her. lie went to the sessions

shortly afterwards. Mr. Bagley came to the house eight or
nine days after my mistress was confined. He came several
times. He dined in her bed room the first time he came, and

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 19.
IN RE LOUIS AUGUSTE DIEUDONNE (SUED AS AUGUST
DIEUDONNE).
Louis Auguste Dieudonne was opposed by Mr. Cresswell,
for French creditors ; he was supported by Mr. Cooke.
Mr. CRESSWELL stated that the insolvent was a corn-dealer
and Government contractor at Nevers, in France, and was de-
clared a bankrupt there in August, 1842, his liabilities amount-
ing to 13,811/. 18s. Bd., he having previously left that king-
dom, and come to England with nearly 3,600/. in his posses-
sion. Upon this his creditors proceeded against him, and he
was declared a fraudulent bankrupt, and sentenced to the gal-
leys for 20 years, and to stand in the pillory. But not being
able to carry this adjudication into effect, his effigy was placed
in the stocks to undergo this disgrace in his stead, as is cus-
tomary in that country. The cause of his application to this
Court was, that proceedings had been taken against him in
this country by the creditors of his estate in France. He
(Mr. Cresswell) wished the insolvent to account for the dis-
position of the property he had absconded with to England.
He should require proof of the statements on this subject in-
serted in his schedule.
Mr. CooKE described the severe consequences to which he
had been subjected by absconding from France, which would
cut him off from a beneficial interest in any property that
might accrue to hinifor ever after. He had left assets behind
him sufficient to discharge 25 per cent. of all his debts. He
was now suffering under the effect of a judgment as a bank-
rupt ; and as nemo bispuniatur was a principle of law in Eng-
land as well as in h ranee, he submitted that he was not
strictly liable to a remand by this Court.
Mr. Commissioner Pomoca did not see what ground there
was for this argument. His banishment, it might be recol-
lected, was occasioned by his own admitted misconduct ; and
when sitting in that Court he was to administer an Act of
the British Parliament according to English law, and could
not take cognizance of the French bankrupt law. If an
offence was proved under the Ist and 2d Viet., he must
deal with it under its provisions, and could not take into his
consideration the result of the bankruptcy in France. The
insolvent accounted for the greater part of the property he
had brought with him to England by saying that i.e sent
it to his creditors in France. He should require proof of
that ; for, if so, it was a very honest and satisfactory answer.
The case was adjourned to the 2d of March, when it will
be fully investigated.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby jawing a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE,

IN RE SAMUEL WAITE.
This insolvent was opposed on the ground that his present
difficulties had been created by a reckless extravagance.
The aggregate amount of his debts was 2,555/. 18s. 3d. The
sum on the credit side of the account was 1,1831. His bona
tide debts were 9801. He attributed his insolvency to his
connection with a person named Michael Shillito, with
whom he had had bill transactions, and whose name was in-
serted in the schedule, as a debtor for 1,0604 " bad." The
insolvent had been a wine merchant, and his wife had an
annuity of between 6001. and 700/.
It was announced by the Learned Counsel for the insolvent
(Mr. Cooke), that the wife would pay all the bona tide debts
of the insolvent, and, in fact, had already discharged liabili-
ties of his to the large amount of 2,000 L
The insolvent was therefore ordered to be discharged.
