The house, No. 8, in the Palace adjuncts, last

duced forithe first time on Saturday night at the
Dublin Theatre. At the end of the piece, when
Mr. FARREN came forward to announce it for
repetition, the " Ayes" and " Noes" appeared
to. divide the house. Perhaps 'there was a
small preponderance on the side of the dissen-
tients---but this was by no means certain. The
Manager, however, with becoming deference for
the opinion of a very large portion of the au-
dience, changed his announcement, and gave out

WINCHESTER ASSIZES, Aua. 2.

On Monday evening Mr. Baron GRAHAM
opened the Commission for holding these Assizes,
Mr. Justice BEST being so ill with the:gout that
he could riot conveniently be• driven to the
County Hall ; and oh Tuesday, abotit one
o'clock, the Judges, after hearing Divine ger-
Vice, went to their respective Courts, Mr. Baron
GnAnAra to the Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice
BEST- to the CroWn Court. The latter Judge's
Charge to the Jury was very short, as the pri-
soners were few and their • offences light. At
the Nisi Prizes Bar there have been but two
causes of any consequence tried as yet; the one
a sheep cause of warrautry, in which.thedefen-
dant who warranted gained a verdict; the other
was an action against the Royal Eichinge
Assurance Company, who resisted the payment
of 1501. due to Mr. White, the Company think-
ing that at the time when the insurance was made
the insured was afflicted .with such a disease as
would occasion her life to be shortened. The
old adage of " Who shall decide when doctors
disagree," was verified in this case, a Surgeon
being brought by the plaintiff and a Physician by
the defendants ; but the Jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff, thinking, in all probability,' that as
he had been in the habit of visiting the patient
for three years, and the Physician but half au
hour, that lie was the most likely to be right.—
The Grand Jury found a bill of indictment this
morning against Messrs. C. J. Hector, William
Mitchell, and George Durant, for a conspiracy.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR THE WARD
OF CHEAP.

Yesterday a Wardwote of the inhabitants of
the Ward of Cheap was held at the Church of
St. Lawrence Jewry, Cateaton-street, for the
purpose of electing a fit and proper person to
serve the office of Alderman, in the room of
RICHARD RoTnivrt.r., tisq. deceased. The Ward-
mote was most numerously and respectably at-
tend,d. The precept having been read,
The Loan MAY or, opened the business of the day in a neat
and appropriate speech.
Mr. BURT proposed William Thompson, Esq. Citizen and
ironmonger.
Mr. BOOTH seconded the nomination.

A pause took place, during which no one came forward to
propose any other Candidate.
The LORD MAYOR then took the show of hands, and de-
clared William ThoMpson, Esq. Citizen and Ironmonger, to be
duly and unanimously elected.
Mr. TnomPSON returned thanks.
Mr. JAMES moved an expression of the regard of the Ward
to the memory of their deceased Alderman.
Mr. BROOKS seconded the Resolutions, which were carried
unanimously.

ing Papers, and circulated in the Ward, to be fairly transcribed
and presented to Thomas Dutton Rothwell, Esq.
Mr. JAMES moved the thanks of the Wardmote to the Lord
Mayor, for the gentlemanly manner in which he had conducted
the business of the day.
The Resolution was carried unanimously ; and
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks.

Mr. LoxLEY begged, on account of the infirmities attendaat
upon age and long service, to be allowed to resign his situation
as Deputy. The Alderman elect conTerr?d the situation upon
Mr. Brooks, the Senior Common Councilman. Thanks I.ire
voted to Mr. Loxley for his past services, and the Warlmota
separated.

A CURE Fon SUICIDE.—On Friday last, some
boatmen took out of the Seine, at Paris, a man
who had precipitated himself into it from the
Pont-au-Change. Having taken him to the Corps-
de-Garde, they succeeded in recalling h m to
life. He had scarcely come to himself, when
he very seriously assured the Commissary of Po-
lice, that it was still his intention to drown Wm-
self on the fir,-;t opportunity, and as soon as he
should be set at liberty. The Commissary asked
him to sign a declaration of his intention to
destroy himself, which the fellow readily Con-
sented to do. While all this was going on,
a woman arrived vociferating, "My husband ! Let
me see my husband." When she perceived,
however, that her better-half was alive and well,
she became instantly silent. The boatmen, not-
withstanding, approached her, and claimed to be
rewarded for the good office' they had just ren-
dered her in saving her husband, but she angrily
repulsed them, exclaiming, " why did you not
let him drown himself ? why did you inter-
meddle ?" At these words, the husband, it is
said, suddenly found himself cured of his folly,
and swore he would make no more attempts to
drown himself.—(Gazette de France.)
An ELOPEMENT under very curious circum-
stances, and sheaving a determination on the part
of the young lady seldom equalled, took place in
this neighbourhood, on Monday morning. The
daughter of a gentleman of fortune, residing within
a few miles of WorceVer; came a few days since
on a visit to a friend of her father's, who lives
about three miles from this place. On Sunday
last, a gentleman, who afterwards proved to be
her lover, called upon her, introducing himself to
the friend of the lady as an intimate acquaintance
of her father. He spent the day with the family,
and, as it was supposed, took his departure for
Worcestershire in the evening. So well did the
parties arrange their proceedings, that they fixed
their plans in the' presence of the whole family,
without the slightest suspicion being excited. Early
the next morning, it was discovered that the
young lady had escaped in the course of the
night, and had left a note assuring her friends
that should they succeed in overtaking her, nothing
should prevent her bestowing her hand upon the
object of her choice. Instant pursuit' was made,
and at every stage the pursuers had the mortifica-
tion to find that they.had little chance of over-
taking them, till the knot of Hymen had been
irrevocably tied. Unfortunately for the fu-
gitives, the celebration of the ceremony was not
so well arranged as the elopement, for owing
to the absence of the Clergyman of a small town
in Shropshire, they were compelled to wait " in
dire suspense," and before his return the
friends of the lady arrived. Remonstrance was
however, in vain, and in the presence of her
friends, the lover and his fair fugitive proceeded
to the church. The clergyman doubted,. the.
happy pair insisted, the friends opposed it by
every means, in their power, but as no legal dif-
ficulty intervened, the ceremony was performed.
Report says the lady is very handsome, and the
gentleman possessed of an ample fortune. Both
parties are exceedingly well known.—(Binning-
ham and Lichfield Chronicle) Aug. 2.)
