The complainant after stating that she was " a widdy
wid two childer," said that the defendant had yesterday
como into her room, and because she (complainant)
would not lend her the price of a quartern of gin, she
fell upon her and " bate " her in the most unmereifuli
manner.
Defendant—She strik me, yer Werchip.

"Silence!" shouted the corpulent usher, rata the over-
whelming power of his voice drowned the shriller accents
of Mesdames M'Flynn and O'Toole.
Mr. JARDINE—I see how it is, 1 shall bind you both

Mrs. O'Toole—Suppose she should bate the life out iv

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAN-
CHESTER THEATRE BX FIRE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY 1110RNING.—Wt regret to state
i
that the Theatre Royal n this town is now levelled with the
ground. At about ten minutes past six this morning a fire
broke out at the Theatre Royal. Fountain-street, in this
town, and in the course of an hour entirely destroyed that
immense building. It appears that the theatre was used on
the previous evening, and was closed about the usual time,
less fireworks and a smaller number of lights having been
used than is usual. Just after the police left their beats,
at a little before six, some persons going to their work ob-
served flames issuing from the window, and immediately gave
information to Mr. Rose, at the police yard. That active
officer immediately hurried to the spot with the Niagara en-
gine, and was speedily followed by his son, Ur. Thomas Roan,
with eight other engines, being the entire, effecti„,,, force j
the Fire Brigade. Upon their arrival they round the build-
ing one large mass of flame, but ttey made strenuous at-
tempts to save the place. They were successful in their
attempts to save the dressing-moms; and
part of the ward-
robe was saved, but of course, much damaged. The scenery
speedily fell a sacrifice to tae deveuring element.
Mr. Rose, finding it it:apossible to save the stage part of
the building, next mrAde strenuous efforts to save the boxes
and galleries, and as the firemen were making this attempt
a large portion of the roof gave way, and fell upon Mr. Rose
and four or live. of the men, one of whom was so much in-
jured that he was obliged to be carried to the infirmary,
where he now lies in a dangerous state.
At half-past seven the building was entirely gutted, and
nothing but a portion of the walls is now standing. A party
of military were cent from the barracks to assist in keeping
off the crowd, and were found exceedingly useful..
The building of the theatre was insured for ,k,ixa in the
Imperial, and we understand that Mr. Roxby, the manager,
is insured to the extent of six or seven humla-e4 pounds ; but
these amounts arc far below the real loss.

FREDERICK THE GREAT, lIIS CO',IRT, AND TIMES.

most extraordinary man of the eig'uteenth century, was,

own country to furnish a moire complete and satisfactory
account of this monarch and tds.times, than has hitherto

DIE LATE FIRING OF PRINCB ALBERT'S PLANTA-
TioNs.--
we gave an account in our reaper of the firing of up-
wards of 700 acres, consisting of the plantations belonging to'
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the immediate vicinity •
of the Duchess of Gloucester's park, at Bagshot. It appears,
that the fire was first discovered between the Royal Military
College, at Sandhurst, and a wall-known spot, called Cavar's
Camp, on Wednesday morning, between eight and nine
o'clock; and while persons were employed, although ineffec-
tually, to subdue the flames at this part of the plantations, a
second fire was discovered to be raging, and of equal extent,
at about a mile distant, between Winchmoro-cross and New
England. Such was the rapidity with which the flames ex-
tended, that before noon these two conflagrations had be-
come united, the wind blowing strong from the north-east,
and the flames at one time extended two miles in length, and,
upwards of a mile in breadth. A considerable number of rflic...
