FRENCH PLAYS.

Achard added, last night, another link to th• long
chain of his successes, in the character of Jerome, in Ls
Famille du Fumiste. As Jerome, Achard revels in the
wild freshness and boisterous spirits which are so fre-
quently to bo met with in humble life amongst our
neighbours on the other side of the Channel. It is in
such characters as these that Achard's peculiar excel-
lence appears to far greater advantage than in the first
piece in which he played last evening, Stradella, when
he is compelled to twist his merry features into a triste-
ful vissgo, and to incase his burly frame, all bursting
with fun, in a rich dress of velvet. Mademoiselle
Bachelet also deserves honourable mention for her acting
during the first act, and Mdlle. nilia Henri, acquitted
herself to the satisfaction of the audience. The quaint
little episode from Paul de Kock's novel, "La Maison
Blanche," was again performed as the afterpisce, with,
perhaps, even greater success than on Friday night

BANK OF ENGLAND.

The paper (No. 38, House of Commons, Session 1844)
ordered to be printed on same day as the preceding,
comprises two accounts : (I.) of the Quarterly Averages
of the Weekly Liabilities and Assets of the Bank of
England, as published in the Gazette since Bth Decem-
ber, 1842. (II.) Account of the Notes in Circulation of
the Bank of England and other Banks of Issue in Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland ; and of the Bullion
in the Bank of England, in each month since the 7th
January, 1843, as published in the Gazette, (in continua-
tion of Parliamentary Paper, No. 46, of Session 1843.)
The dates at which these important averages (Account
No. I.) were struck, appear to have been lunar months,
varied only by the occasional non-coincidence of the
days of publication of the Gazette. The account is
drawn up in seven columns ; the first, showing the dates
just alluded to ; the second, " Amount of Notes in Cir-
culation ;" the third, "Deposits ;" the fourth (which is
the sum of second and third), " Total Liabilities ;" the
fifth, " Securities ;" the sixth, "Bullion ;" the seventh
(the sum of the two last mentioned), " Total Assets."
There are, in all, fifteen of these quarterly averages ;
the dates of their publication ranging from 6th January,
1843, to 2d February, 1844. The minimum and maximum
quantities we have extracted from each column, and
they may be stated, together with their respective dates,

EARL RADNOR.—We regret ti: state that the
Noble Earl was taken suddenly ill on Fri,ay morning, and
was unable to attend the great Anti-C( rn-law meeting at
Gloucester on Saturday. It affords us plea.ure to announce
that his Lordship's indisposition is not of a serious character,
and we trust that a few days will restore hint to a state of
convalescence.

SIR DAVID WILKIE'S STATUE.—At a meeting,
held on Monday last, at the Union Bank, Charing-cross, for
the purpose of receiving Lord Mahon, who had kindly under-
taken to write an inscription for the statue of Sir David
Wilkie in the National Gallery, there were present Sir P.
Laurie, the Hon. Leslie Melville, Mr. Phillips, R.A., Sir W.
Newton, R.A., Mr. Peter Laurie, Mr. Burnell, and the secre-
tary, Mr. P. Cuming, when his Lordship presented the
following brief but expressive legend :—" Sir David Wilkie,
R.A. Born 1785. Died Ist June, 1841. A Life too short
for Fsllendship, not for Fame."

NOVEL REwARD.—Mr. James Pollard lost, on
Monday last, two half-sovereigns, which, on inquiry, he had
reason to belie' 'e had been found by a certain person in the
town. In order to gain his lost treasure, he engaged the
crier to announce the following notice :—" Lost, this morn-
ing, near the Town Mall, two half-sovereigns. Any person
having found the same, and will bring it to the crier, shall
receive one pound five shillings reward. The same, in pro-
portion, will be paid to any person who has found one of the
half-sovereigns.' Suffice It to say that the money was soon
produced, and the fortunate finder received 11b. of coals and
ss. in money,—Nortltampton !Mercury.

L9NDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1844.

The Prince of PRUSSIA, we perceive, has been
highly gratified by his visit to Liverpool. It war
almost impossible that a personage of so intelligent
and cultivated a mind should be otherwise thin de-
lighted by the majestic public works, and the match-
less commercial marine—their noblest ornament—
which on all sides meet the eye in that great em
poriurn of our foreign trade. Having gone every-
where, and carefully inspected everything (so far as
his limited" means "—of tune--would allow him)
which he could get at, en route, between London and
Liverpool, he examined the unrivalled docks the next
morning after his arrival in the latter town. His
Royal Highness seems to have fully participated ir,
the astonishment experienced by all foreigners at the
imposing spectacle of an unbroken line of betweei
seven and nine miles of docks—not simply crowded.
but swarming, with shipping, which have brought
from the remotest shores upon the surface of our
globe the products of other climates, the wealth of
another hemisphere. Impressed with the remarkable
character of this spectacle, in the details which hai:
come more immediately under his observation, th(
Prince embarked in a Government steamer (aptl3
named the Britannia) to obtain a general view of the
town, the shipping, and the banks of the 'Verse
We are told that " the river and docks were crowdedY
with vessels, which, in honour of his Royal High..
ness, displayed from their mast-heads flags of all
nations, the Prussian standard predominating." Ti,„
Prince, on disembarking again, was greeted with tit(
same enthusiastic welcome on shore, which had just
hailed him on the water; and found the Town-hall
and the Exchange to be edifices laid out on a scam,
grandeur commensurate with the vast extent: of thai
trade, the marvels of whtrs-e -activity Tina extent hu
had just been contemplating. For his further pro.
gress, and his reception by Sir ROBERT PEEL at
Drayton Manor, we may refer the reader to the par.
ticulars we have given in another column : but
epropta to the well digested route through so many
'of the most interesting districts in England which
his Royal Highness has hitherto taken ; the selection

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday John Leigh, an engineer, was brought
up for re-examination, charged with absconding with
the wife of John Townsend, a linendraper, and steal-
ing various articles, his property.
The complainant stated, that the prisoner was a
lodger in his house, and that for some time past he
had grounds for supposing that his wife and the pri-
soner were on very intimate terms, as he (complainant)
was compelled to be absent from home on business
very frequently. His fears with regard to their
intimacy were verified, for on returning home on
Monday week he found that his wife had gone off
with the prisoner, taking with them a quantity of
property, principally consisting of clothes. He lost
no time in making inquiries, and at length discovered
that the guilty pair had taken lodgings in Charles-
street, Blackfriars-road, where they passed as man
and wife, and occupied the same bed-room. As com-
plainant found several boxes at the lodging with
his property in them, he gave the prisoner into
custody.
Evidence was then adduced to show, that at the
time the complainant's wife absconded from home the
prisoner assisted in the removal of the goods, and also
to show that he and she were living together as man
and wife in the lodging they occupied, after their
flight from complainant's house.
The complainant was cross-examined by the pri-
soner's solicitor with a view to show that the wife left
home with his consent, and that he had desired her to
quit his house and to take her things with her on the
morning she left home. The complainant, however,
denied that such was the fact and declared that he was
amazed and shocked on finding she had gone off with
the prisoner.
The complainant's wife was in attendance and ab-
solved the prisoner from all blame in the transaction.
She was prepared to take all the responsibility of the
act upon herself, so as the prisoner was acquitted of
the charge.
The prisoner, through his solicitor, declared that he
was led to believe that the complainant and his wife
had agreed to a separation, and that he was not even
aware of the description of property removed by the
wife.

The MAGISTRATE said that an opportunity should be
afforded the complainant of prosecuting the prisoner if
be thought a jury would convict, and for that purpose
he should make the defendant enter into his own re-
cognizance in 1001., and find sureties of 501., to "appear
at that Court the day preceding the next Central
Criminal Court sessions.

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1844,

The Prince of PRUSSIA, we perceive, has been
highly gratified by his visit to Liverpool. It was
almost impossible that a personage of so intelligen
and cultivated a mind should be otherwise than de.
lighted by the majestic public works, and the match-
less commercial marine—their noblest ornament—
which on all sides meet the eye in that great em-
porium of our foreign trade. Having gone every-
where, and carefully inspected everything (so far as
his limited "means "—of time—would allow him)
which he could get at, en route, between London and
Liverpool, he examined the unrivalled docks the next
morning after his arrival in the latter town. His
Royal Highness seems to have fully participated in
the astonishment experienced by all foreigners at the
imposing spectacle of an unbroken line of between
seven and nine miles of docks—not simply crowded,
but swarming, with shipping, which have brought
from
the remotest shores upon the surface of our
globe the products of other climates, the wealth of
another hemisphere. Impressed with the remarkable
character of this spectacle, in the details which had
come more immediately under his observation, the
Prince embarked in a Government steamer (aptly
named the Britannia) to obtain a general view of the
town, the shipping, and the banks of the Mersey.
We are told that " the river and docks were crowded
with vessels, which, in honour of his Royal High-
ness, displayed from their mast-heads flags of all
nations, the Prussian standard predominating." The
Prince, on disembarking again, was greeted with the
same enthusiastic welcome on shore, which had just
hailed him on the water; and found the Town-hall
and the Exchange to be edifices laid out on a scale of
grandeur commensurate with the vast extent of that
trade, the marvels of whose activity and extent he
had just been contemplating. For his further pro-
gress, and his reception by Sir ROBERT PEEL at
Drayton Manor, we may refer the reader to the par-
ticulars we have given in another column : but j

apropos to the well digested route through so many
of the most interesting districts in England which
his Royal Highness has hitherto taken ; the selection

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday John Leigh, an engineer, was brought
up for re-examination, charged with absconding with
the wife of John Townsend, a linendraper, and steal-
ing various articles, his property.
The complainant stated, that the prisoner was a
lodger in his house, and that for some time past he
had grounds for supposing that his wife and the pri-
soner were on very intimate terms, as he (complainant)
was compelled to be absent from home on business
very frequently. His fears with regard to their
int.rnacy were verified, for on returning lionie on
Monday week he found that his wife had gone off
with the prisoner, taking with them a quantity of
property, principally consisting of clothes. He lost
no time in making inquiries, and at length discovered
that the guilty pair had taken lodgings in Charles-
street, Blackfriars-road, where they passed as man
and wife, and occupied the same bed-room. As com-
plainant found several boxes at the lodging with
his property in them, he gave the prisoner into
custody.
Evidence was then adduced to show, that at the
time the complainant's wife absconded from home the
prisoner assisted in the removal of the goods; and also
to show that he and she were living together as man
and wife in the lodging they occupied, after their
flight from complainant's house.
The complainant was cross-examined by the pri-
soner's solicitor with a view to show that the wife left
home with his consent, and that he had desired her to
quit his house and to take her things with her on the
morning she left home. The complainant, however,
denied that such was the fact and declared that he was
amazed and shocked on finding she had gone off with
the prisoner.
The complainant's wife was in attendance and ab-
solved the prisoner from all blame in the transaction.
She was prepared to take all the responsibility of the
act upon herself, so as the prisoner was acquitted of
the charge.
The prisoner, through his solicitor, declared that he
was led to believe that the complainant and his wife
had agreed to a separation, and that he was not even
aware of the description of property removed by the
wife.

The MAGISTRATE said that an opportunity should be

afforded the complainant of prosecuting the prisoner if
he thought a jury would convict, and for that purpose
he should make the defendant enter into his own re.-

cognizance in 1001., and find sureties of 501., to appear
at that Court the day preceding the next Central
Criminal Court sessions.
