HAYMARKET 'THEATRE.

Thanks to Mr. Webster, the- English playgoing
public have at length an opportunity afforded to them
of hearing the most original comic singer that Eng-
land has ever produced. r. John .Parry last even-
ing commenced an engagernMb:it, of four nights only,
and gave us two of his exquisite; hum ourous—sengs
we will not call them—but music,'-' .comedies ; for
if a comedy be a delineation of the n,•anners of the
times in which we live, then are Mr. John
Parry's performances comedies, AN'eit they
may be in five stanzas instead of five acts,
and although the dramatis persona are , repre-
sented by himself and his piano, for the piano on
which he accompanies himself becomes a most e%
pressive and humorous coadjutor in his hands. He
is the only completely gentlemanly comic singer we,
have ever met with—he possesses the richest vein 01
humour with the most polished manners imaginable-
To those who have never seen or heard him we
scarcely know how to convey an idea of his singularly
original style—he is a true English buffo,
as thoroughly English as Lablache is Italian, •and yet
as perfect a buffo. Let our readers imagine a itinsieel
Mathews, possessing the same command over the..
piano as that most inimitable of actors did over no
own features, and making it. do the same sort of Aer:
vice in assisting to develop the quaintnesses to whku
his voice gave utterance, and they may form a fail
notion of what Mr. John Parry's performances are.
He last night gave us " The Accomplished Young
Lady," which was, of course encored, and then gave
"Blue Beard." The house was in a roar all the
while he was at the piano, and, at the conclusion, he
was rapturously applauded. The house was crowd
during the whole of the evening.

A REVERSE OF FORTUNE.

On Friday last, at the sale-rooms of Messrs. Oxenham,
in Oxford-street, amongst other property disposed of,
were six lots, three of which consisted of female wear-
ing apparel, dresses, lace of a costly description, ri-
bands, &c., the trunks in which they had been packed,
and several sets of artificial teeth mounted with gold.
The other three lots were—a lady's gold watch, with
jewelled movements, a massive neck-chain, with run-
ners, three seals, and a key, all -s gold, a pair of spec-
tacles, and ans eye-glass, several Linger-rings set with
pearls, diamonds, &c.; a pair of pearl earrings, brooches,
and other articles of jewellery, all mounted in gold.
These lots created some interest, on account of it being
' stated that they were the property of a female pauper
who had recently died in St. James's workhouse. It
should be mentioned, that instead of a maker's name on
thewatch there was engraved the name of Harriet Blake,
and on one of the seals was cut the word " Harriet;"
and another bore the motto, " True to her Trust."
Some remarks were made upon the extraordinary cir-
cumstance of a person possessed of so much property as
this being the inmate of a workhouse, enduring all the
privations and misery of such an establishment, but the
following explanation was given. About three years
ago, an elderly lady put up at an hotel at the west-end
of the town, and upon her exhibiting unequivocal symp-
toms of insanity, applicatton was made to the parish
officers, and she was removed to the workhouse. Noin-
formation could be obtained from her, except that her
maiden name was Harriet Blake, and that she had been
married to a Mr. C—, who was at one time Mayor of
Bristol, and who died shortly after the marriage, leav-
ing her, as was supposed, an annuity, which, however,
had never been traced. The unfortunate lady was af-
terwards sent to Bethlehem Hospital, where sshe passed
a year. From thence she was removed to Hanwell,
where she died. She was apparently about 70 years of
age at the time of her death. The proceeds of the pro-
perty are to be applied in defraying some portion of
the expenses to which the parish had been subjected, by
taking charge of the unfortunate deceased. In this sad
reverse of fortune, it was said that the sister of the de-
ceased had been a sharer, she bein;r, at present an inmate
of St. Martin's workhouse, and as ignorant of the where-
abouts of the deceased's annuity as everybody else ap-
pears to have been. • .

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1844.

The Irish State trials were resumed on Monday,
when the Court met at the usual hour. Mr. MooRE
was expected to speak first, but he was anticipated
by Mr. Jour; O'CONNELL who disavowed altogether
any participation in the sentiments expressed by Mr.
$ HEIL in his defence of him, which might be con-
strued in favour of federalism. He declared, though
it should prejudice him with the jury, that he could
admit no principle but that of the right of his country
to an independent Parliament.

Mr. Moonß, as Counsel for the Rev. Mr. TIERNY'
then addressed the jury. His speech was
exclusivelyl
g
directed to the case of his client, and not touching at
all on any general questions. He clearly pointed
out
the failure of all evidence proving any connection be.
tween his client and the other traversers, up to
the meeting at Clontibret on the 15th
of August, and then contended that it was strictly

MISCELLANEOUS.

IN RE TOWNLY.

The hearing of this case had been adjourned from time to
time, in order to procure the attendance of a person named
Salomons, who had got a bill of sale on the insolvent's pro-
perty, of which he now retained a large quantity.
The insolvent having shown to the satisfaction of the Court
that he had done everything in his power to subpoena Salo-
mons, he was liberated provisionally, and Salomons not ap-
pearing in obedience to the order of the Court, an attachment
was ordered to issue against him.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1844,

The Irish State trials were resumed on Monday,
when the Court met at the usual hour. Mr. Mooße
ware expected to speak first, but he was anticipated
by Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL who disavowed altogether
any participation in the sentiments expressed by Mr.
-" SHEIL in his defence of him, which might be con-
strued in favour of federalism. He declared, though
it should prejudice,him with' the jury, that he could
admit no principle but that of the right of his country
to an independent Parliament.
Mr. MOORE, as Counsel for the Rev. Mr: TIERNEY,
then addressed the jury. I,jis speech was exclusively
directed to the case of his client, and not touching at
all on any general questions. He clearly pointed out
the failure of all evidence proving any connection be-
tween his client and the other traversers, up to
the meeting at Clontibret- on the 15th
of August, and then contended that it was strictly
necessary to prove that meeting an illegal one, before
Mr. TIERNEY could be at all affected by the in-
dictment. He remarked strongly on the Crown not
having produced any evidence of the character of
that meeting except that of two policemen, though
there were present at it two stipendiary magistrates,
immediately in the service and under the control of
the Crown, whom they might easily have called. He
produced considerable amusement by the manner in
which he treated the evidence giveii as to that
meeting, the illegality of which was proved by
nothing more than that some persons were a little
crushed in the throng, and among them a policeman.
If crushing in a crowd was to be considered a proof
of the illegality of a meeting, then the Court of
Queen's Bench had for the last fortnight been a most
illegal. assembly ; the jury-box was protected
from inconvenience, but every other part of
the Court, even the judgment-seat, had been
invaded, and the Learned Judges themselves had
been " crushed" by those whom it was not possible to
resiA. This allusion was to the number of ladies who
have been accommodated with seats almost on the
bench; and it created a hearty laugh, in which the
Learned Judges joined. But a far better point for
his client was made by him, in reference to the con-
versation sworn to by the witness, Policeman
11`CArrs, which was said to have taken place between
him and the Rev. MY, TIERNEY, on the 16th of June,
two months before the meeting at Clontibret. When
evidence of this conversation was tendered, it was
objected to by the traversers; as it formed no part
of the indictment, but the . objection was overruled.
M`CANN swore to :a long conversation, in which Mr.
TIEIVSIEY poke .9f the 'Union as not binding on
conscience, and on the spread of the Repeal feeling
in the army, and the great things which the. Army
had done in Spain. Mr. MOORE emphatically denied,
on the part of Mr. TIERNEY, that any such conversa-
tion ever occurred ; pointedout its improbability; and,
though he entdd call nn eridon'e of the fillehood of

necessary to prove that meeting an illegal one, before
Mr. TIERNEY could be at all affected by the in-
dictment. Ye remarked strongly on the Crown not
having produced any evidence of the character of
that meeting except that of two policemen, though
there were present at it two stipendiary magistrates,
immediately in the service and under the control of
the Crown, whom they might easily have called. He
produced considerable amusement by the manner in
which he treated the evidence given as to that
meeting, the illegality of which was proved by
nothing more than that some persons ware a little

THE STATE. PROSECUTIONS.

We are really at a loss to conjecture what good Sir
Robert Peel expects from the prosecution of Mr. O'Con-
nell. Be the result what it may—acquittal or punish-
ment—the influence of tho agitator is sure to be aug-
mented, and the authority of the Government propor-
tionally weakened. At the date of the latest accounts,
the Court of Queen's Bench had sat eight days, but not
a single circumstance had been brought to light that a-as
not well known before. The foul and wicked conspiracy
of the Attorney-General, turns out to be nothing snore
than an open combination to effect a change in the lay.
such as has existed over and over again in all parts of
the country, and such as exists in the Complete, Suf-
frage Union and Anti-Corn-law League, at present. Ail
that. has been proved, and all, we are satisfied, that ran
be proved, apilist O'Connell is, that he has organised
associations, collected subscriptions, and given tickets of
membership to as many people as desired to repeal an
Act of Parliament that has only existed same forty
years. This he has done peaceably, and aecompanied
by professions of the most unbounded loyalty.
Now, what is there in all this that has not been done
a hundred times over—that is not done at preasnenttte?
What greater crime has O'Connell committed h_

MISCELLANEOUS.

On Saturday evening a public meeting of the Reformers o
Liverpool was held in the Music Hall, Bold-street, to allow
William Sharman Crawford, Esq., M.P., for Rochdale, to ad-i
dress the audience on the duty of all Reformers to unite in
one common effort by which the grievances of the people
might be most promptly redressed. The meeting was nu-
merously attended, and resolutions in accordance with the
object of the meeting were adopted.
A return has been made of the state of education in the
House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, among the convicts
already confined there. From this document it is shown that
there are three male prisoners who can read and write well,
are acquainted with arithmetic, and possessed of a knowledge
of languages. There are no women who are thus gifted.
There are 99 men who can read and write, and who are ac-
quainted with arithmetic, and 25 women. There are 256
men, and 60 women, who can. read and write a little; 270
men, and 105 women, who can read a little only; and 209
men, and 70 women, who are totally uninstructed.
On Tuesday a meeting of the Oxford Agricultural Society
was held in the large room of the Star Hotel, Oxford, for
the purpose of passing resolutions in favour of protection to
agricultural produce. The meeting had been convened by
the Chairman of the Oxford Agricultural Association, on the
requisition of a great many members. There were about
500 gentlemen present. The usual resolutions were adopted.
A Court of Aldermen was held on Tuesday, but the pro-
ceedings possessed little interest.
At a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of the
Barton district, held on the 29th, an address to Earl Spencer
was agreed to, which thus concludes :—" At a time when the
Anti-Corn-law League are in full operation, you, my Lord,
have felt it your duty to declare yourself an adherent to their
doctrines—doctrines which we think are false in principle,
dangerous in practice, and carried out by very disreputable
means. Your open adherence to their principles, when a
dignified reserve ought to have guided your conduct, compels
us to declare that we will not support the Royal Agricultural
Society of England if you remain any longer President."
