TATTERSALL"S.—YESTERDAY.
The room was lAdly attended, au:: business, although
of some importance in two or three respects, extremely
slack. Of the Chester Cup it is only necessary to ob-
serve that the first two favourites and Celesta were in
great force at an improvement of several points on Mon-
day's market. Cataract was also in favour, but did not
move. Several others were backed, but in small amounts,
and only in two instances—Zanoni and the Era—with
any effect on the prices. The only demonstration on the
Derby was in favour of Kedger, who was backed at 15
and 16 to 1 (in one bet at 14 to 1), the smaller of the two
prices not being obtainable at the finish. The other
transactions on this event tallied too closely with our

OLYMPIC.

During the temporary absence of Miss Davenport
in the provinces, the management of this theatre has
determined to make legitimate opera a feature, and,
accordingly, last evening the opera of the Maid of
Judah was produced in a style worthy of any theatre
in the metropolis. Miss Alicia Nunn was the Re-
becca, Mr. Binge the Ivanhoe, and Herr Fidor the
Cedric. Miss Alicia Nunn is already well known
to the musical world. After a long pupilage in
Italy, after having been for a season or two the
prima donna at La Scala, she appeared at
the Italian OpPra in London, and succeeded in
winning the suffrages of the most critical audience
in the world. Her success last night was complete,
albeit she was occasionally rather deficient in
intonation, being once now and then a shade too flat
for the music. Her Rebecca, as a whole, was an ex-
cellent and praiseworthy performance, and was much
and deservedly applauded. We never heard Binge
to greater advantage ; his voice, which is too weak
for the large houses, is just the thing for the Olympic,
and gave the exquisite music of Rossini with great
taste and feeling. In the celebrated bravura, " Hark,
the trump of fame now soundeth," he was deservedly
honoured with the only encore of the evening.
Herr Fidor has a fine bass voice, and went through
the part of Cedric respectably. The opera was very
well cast in the acting parts. Waldron, as Bois
Gilbert, was a most valorous and right doughty knight ;
and Broadfoot's Isaac was, with the exception of poor
Egerton's, the best we have seen. Our old friend
Rayner, as Wamba, was a " fellow of infinite jest."
He kept the audience in a roar the whole time he was
on the stage. The house was well attended, and the
audience were sent laughing home by the drolleries
of Flexmore as the clown in the pantomime, which
still continues as attractive as ever.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 27.—The King will return from
Ardenne on Saturday morning.
The Commercial council of Antwerp, in its sitting
of the 21st, considered an application for a sum of
money to repair the cathedral. According to the
estimates made by Mr. Durl.ot, the architect, the total
sum necessary for the very great repairs which one of
the finest monuments in the country requires would
he less than one million and ninety thousand francs.
For the present, only a partial vote of credit is wanted.
This application was referred to a Committee, with
the special request that this reference shall not pre-
judge the question whether the city or the Govern-
ment is bound to make these repairs. The Council
then resolved that a petition should he drawn up and
presented to the Chamber, praying that the present
laws respecting. sugar should be revised.
The debate in the Chamber of Representatives, on
the budget of the Minister of the Interior, has been
continued to day, but not concluded, and it seems
doubtful whether it will be concluded to-morrow.
The curiosity excited by this imp trtant debate, and
the eagerness to be present at it, have not decreased.
Among the Members who are to speak against the
Ministry, Mr. Castian is sail to be one; Messrs. De
Merode, Cogels, and De Decker intend, as we hear,
to speak in favour of the Ministry. We are assured
that some Members, who wavered before the discus-
sion, have declared that they join the majority in
consequence of the debate that has taken place.

THE SPY SYSTEM.—We have been informed that
one of the county constabulary was employed to associatr
with a gang of po tehers, and to accompany them in their
nocturnal expeditions in order to ensure the conviction
of the offenders. We trust this is incorrect, although
we fear it b.; too true. There may 131 great beauties in
the Irish police system, but we protest against the in
troduction of this un-English practice into the county of
Gloucester constabulary force. We shall be glad to have
it satisfactorily established that there is no truth in the
information which has been communicated to us.—

Chelenhrim Free Press.
We have reason to believe that, although it is
highly probable that the abilities and services of Mr.
Cardwell will be secured for the Government in some
appointment of importance, yet that the announcement
that Mr. Cardwell is destined to the Vice-Presidency of
the Board of Trade is at least premature,—.Evesing paper,

SADLERS' WELLS.

A new five act play, from the pen of Mr. T. J. Serle,
was produced at this theatre last evening, with the
most complete success. It is entitled the Priest's
Daughter, and the scene is laid in the middle ages,
just at the period when the celibacy of the clergy was
introduced. The heroine, Madeleine (Mrs. Warner),
is the daughter of a married priest, whose marriage
has been rendered null by the edict enforcing the ce-
libacy of the clergy, while at the same time the issue
of such marriages are condemned to serfdom. This
takes place during her infancy, and the priest, to save
her from such a dreadful doom, conceals his relation-
ship to her, and she is brought up by a peasant wo-
man, Sybilla (Mrs. Marston), the priest watching over
her as her confessor. Count Robert de Velery
(Marston), whose serf she would be, according to the
provisions of the edict, sees and loves her. He
protects her from the violence of the soldiery,
and wins the maiden's affections. Luitprand (Mr..J.
Webster), the son of Sybilla, also loves her, but his
suit is scorned. The disputes between himself and
his mother on the subject of the treatment of the
beautiful maiden by the latter was full of comic hu •
mour. Madeleine is unhappily in the cottage of
Sybilla, and escapes to the castle of Count Robert,
who receives her with open arms, but has no inten-
tion of marrying her. The priest-father appears
and warns her of her danger. The acting of Phelps
in this part of the drama was exceedingly fine. He
delineated beautifully theheartfelt agony of the father,
rendered ten thousand times more acute from the
necessity there was to suppress the visible demonstra-
tion of it under the guise of the righteous indignation
of the passionless priest. Ile urges the peasants to
attack the castle and deliver Madeleine. They refuse,
alleging that Madeleine is not a peasant's wife, and
there is no reason which calls for their interference.
The priest, accompanied by Luitprand, obtains ad-
mission into the Castle, and insists on Madeleine s in-
stantly marrying her peasant lover. She refuses; at
length the priest tells her, that he is her father, and,
in obedience to a parent's command, she consents to

A LORD MAYOR'S DOG.

Yesterday Timothy O'Brien, Esq., last year's Lord
Mayor, was fined the sum of I Os., for allowing a ferocious
dog to prowl the streets. It appeared, in evidence, that
his Lordship's dog was of the bull-terrier species, an
admixture of vulgar with high blood—that an humble
but courageous bull-dog met him in Westmoreland-
street, and after a few growls the aristocratic animal be-
gan to do battle. A policeman stepped in to separate
the belligerents, and he has sworn that the bull-terrier
was all t 3 blame ; accordingly, he killed him with his
baton, and summoned his master for permitting
such an unruly brute to be at large. His late Lordship
was defended by Mr. Win. Ford, the principal agent
in the late State prosecution. Being a sharp fellow,
his services were considered invaluable in this action ;
however, he could not prevent a decision against his
client. During the investigation Mr. O'Brien said that
when he was Lord Mayor he was solicited to issue the
usual order to the police to destroy all wandering dogs,
but respecting the rights of animals he refused so to do.
He, therefore, felt it a great hardship to kill his dog and
be fined himself.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE --An inquest was held yes-
terday, before Mr. Carttar, at the Lady of the Village,
Charles-street, Deptford, on the body of Frances Hamp-
ton, who committed suicide by drowning herself in a
pond of stagnant water near to her dwelling. The de-
ceased, since the death of her mother, has acted as
housekeeper to her father, who has a large family, and
who allowed her 245. per week to keep house but, in
consequence of her being very much behind hand
with
the landlord and some of the tradesmen in the neigh-
bourhood, which she feared would come to her father's
ears, she had of late become much dejected, and had ex-
pressed to some of her neighbours that she was deter.
mined "to put an end to it." Having been always of a
cheerful disposition, no notice was taken of the matter.
On Saturday night last, about eleven o'clock, after hey •
ing been to market, she again went out, as her family
thought, to some neighbour's house, but not having re-
turned on the following morning they became alarmed,
when a man named Silver found her body in the pond.
The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased was
found drowned, but there was no evidence to prove by
what means she got into the water."

But. no such a story is, r ow-a-days. told ;
For MOSESand SON. with habiliments warm,

If I rattle and tear at the garments you wear,
I cannot do any one harm, I declare.
I was trying, one day, for a terrible " stepper,"
At a garment of MOSES and SO N'S, call'd a " wrapper,"
But I had to exclaim (as I often had don,)
" I, som, how, can't manage E. MOSES and SJN."
I can pinch up the fingers, and tingle the tees,
And colour the "two lips," and redden the nose.
But I cannot do harm to the well.cm-er'd form,
Whatever attempts I may make with my storm ;
T,,ough I strive for a conquest, it never is won,

congratulations.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Leuchtenburg
arrived here yesterday from Munich. The new
ducal palace, which is now complete, has been open
for a few days to the public, and was an object of
general attention.
The weather is still uncommonly mild. We have
seldom more than four or five degrees of cold.
DANTzrc.—The measures to prevent foreign books
from being smuggled into Russia are rendered more
easy (that is to say) to the officers on the frontiers,
they being authorised to refuse and eventually to
destroy all foreign books in languages which they
do not understand. _

-
BRESLAU, JAN. 19 —The Roman Catholics of this
city, who have resolved to withdraw from the Supre-
macy of Rome, will take the first decisive step. We
hear in a few days there is to be a general meeting,
as Mr. Ronge will state his views respecting the mea-
sures which are now necessary. It is, indeed, high
time that this indecision and inactivity should have
an end. _ _

GLUCIESTADT, JAN. 23.—A Blankinese boat ar-
rived here to-day at noon, with passengers from Cux-
haven. The Channel is free from ice, and the har-
bour also.
FROM THE MAINE, JAN. 18.—The question is
said to have lately been brought forward in the Diet,
whether it might not be proper to put some restric-
tion in the discussing of the press on the affairs of the
Church. One of the great Powers is said to be in
favour of some such measure; but the other would
maintain the principle of free discussion. The mat-
ter is still pending.

OPINIONS OP TUE 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 ma'ority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a 10s3 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 every 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 style in
which this book Is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

The room was badly attended, anti business, although
of some importance in two or three respects, extremely
sla,:k. Of the Chester Cup it is only necessary to ob-
serve that the first two favourites and Celeste were in
great force at an improvement of several points on Mon-
day's market. Cataract was also in favour, but did not
move. Several others were backed, but in small amounts,
and only in two instances—Zanoni and the Era—with
any effect on the prices. The ouly demonstration on the
Derby was in favour of hedger, who was backed at 15
and 16 to 1 (In one bet at 14 to 1), the smaller of the two

VAN SANDON V. TURNER.

The plaintiff in this case had been committed by the
order of Sir G.-Rose, one of the judges of the Court of
Review, for publishing in the face of the Court and else-
where a scandalous handb:ll. The case was lately argued
before the Court upon a special demurrer. The objec-
tions taken were, that it did not appear that Sir G.
Rose was a Judge of the Court of Review, when he
ordered the arrest of the plaintiff, and that a single
Judge could not cause any person to be arrested by his
own individual warrant for the offence stated.

Lord DENMAN now pronounced the judgment of the
Court, and gave judgment for the plaintiff on both
points.

FAULKNER V. LITCHFIELD AND OTHERS.
In this case Sir H. J. FUST gave judgment this morn-

against the erection both of the stone altar and the
credence table.
The judgment occupied five hours in delivery, and
was not concluded until three o'clock.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE
After the disposal of a few cases of felony, in which
there appeared no feature of gt neral interest, the Court
proceeded to dlspose of appeal and misdemeanant cases.
THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This was an appeal
on the part of the inhabitants of Chiswick against a de-
cision of J. I'. Pratt, Esq., concerning the right of the
Horticultural Society to pay rates.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the appellants, and Mr.
Bodkin for the respondents.
It appeared the society claimed to be exempted under
the 6th and 7th of Victoria, the Act under which the
society was incorporated, from the payment of the usual
parish rates in Chiswick, .where they possessed the well-
known botanical grounds.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that, upon look-
ing over the Act of Incorporation, and giving it his most
serious consideration, as to whether there was anything
contained in its clauses which would bring it within the
liabilities of those societies which distributed a beneficial
dividend, he was of opinion that the society was not in-
cluded in the description.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1845.

" The new movement against the Government
system of education," says the Times of yesterday,
" originating out of the recent declaration of the
Primate and the other Prelates, is rapidly extending
itself throughout the different dioceses of Ireland.
Cork and Limerick have already pronounced, and
this day brings the manifesto of the clergy of Ardagh ;
so that, whatever views Sir ROBERT PEEL may en-
tertain with regard to his promise at the close of last
session upon the subject of education, it is not likely
that they will be carried into effect without an
opposition which, perhaps, was not calculated upon
at the period of their enunciation." This opposition
can scarcely have been unexpected by the Premier,
who knows the Protestant temper of Ireland quite as
well, if not better, than any statesman of the day.
He must have foreseen the brewing hurricane, when
as yet it was but a distant speck on the horizon. But
we do most confidently hope and believe that the
storm which will soon be bursting and whistling
about his ears, and which we foresee will not be in-
ferior to that caused by Catholic Emancipation, will
have no other effect on him than to confirm him in his
resolution of redeeming his volunteered pledges strictly
to the letter. On no other terms can Ireland be even
partially reconciled to England. By no other
means can O'Connellism—which is nothing more
than the embodiment of a spirit of just discontent—
be extinguished. The times are peculiarly favour-
able for the Premier's experiment. The busy hum of
industry is again heard in the manufacturing districts ;
the finances of the country are in an unusually flou-
rishing condition ; political parties seem, in a great
degree, to have lost the fury and bitterness that once
characterised them ; and, whether deserving of it or
not, there is no question that, just at the present
moment, Sir ROBERT PEEL exercises a very com-
manding influence, as well without as within the walls
of Parliament. Now, therefore, we repeat, is the best
time for his commencing the grand experiment of the
pacification of Ireland. He will, of course, meet with
much and violent opposition, but his chief opponents
will be the Irish Orangemen and the English Tories ;
and these, fortunately, are two broken and scattered
parties—the forlorn-hope of Bigotry I—whose political
ascendancy is for ever departed. But were it not so—
were these factions much stronger than they are at
present—still, there is a spirit of liberality in the

they would for themselves and the Church. Yet it must be
confessed that he has opposed them ; at least if we could poll
the 15,000, the great majority would confess that they have
" shuddered" and "laughed" not a little at his professions of
"a friendly spirit." Ask again the million and a half of
poor. We doubt not the friendliness of his spirit towards
them also; but certainly it has assumed a rather hostile
form, as the shudders and laughs of the unhappy multitude
would sufficiently testify on the smallest hint of Sir Robert's
benevolence. The agriculturists also—poor souls—have ex-
perienced a few mouveinens divers. Indeed, what class has
not in its turn been affected with tl•ese sardonic emotions?
Yet the result will establish that our candid friend has been
as successful in his friendship as he certainly has in his can-
dour. He has practised on all in turn sharply and severely.
but for his own eventual good. Strange that he could fail
to apply the lesson he has himself so forcibly taught and
illustrated !
