came of those who had determined to patronise it at
half-price is a question which we leave them to
answer. But we must say a word or two as to the
bill of fare which created so eager an appetite. The
first piece was a new and original domestic
drama (in three acts) by an author of celebrity
(they might safely mention his name in future at the
Surrey)—entitled The Instrument of Torture ; or,
The Needle and its Victims. As will be guessed from
the title, the plot of the piece was founded chiefly on
the sufferings of a sempstress, and many allusions
were scattered through the piece to the various facts
which have recently been made known in connection
with the distressed needlewomen of the metropolis.
A worthy old gentleman, named Abraham Bags, an
old clothesman in the Minories, of the Hebrew per-
suasion, is the employer of the heroine of the play,
whose adventures, though they extend beyond the
needle, are closely connected with that " instrument
of torture" up to the close of the piece. By the bye, this
old Bags puts forth a remark which may be worthy of
being remembered, namely, that himself and his frater-
nity are, after all, not so guilty as respects this matter as
some who profess to pity the case of the sufferers, or
at least that they share the guilt with those who are
not willing to pay a remunerating price for their
garments. A word to those who profess pity should
be as weighty as a word to the wise. The piece was
listened to throughout with marked int:rrest ; and on
the falling of the curtain the announcement of its
repetition was received with cheering from all parts
of the theatre. Next came a new tragic-comical,
operatic, historical burlesque, in one act, entitled
Georg, y Barnwell; or, the Unfortunate London Ap.
Prentice, a very pretty burlesque, indeed, and one
which told well with the audience. In order to avoid
the incongruity of a real murder, the uncle was stabbed
with a pair of tailor's scissors, which, instead of killing
him, entered a box of Holloway's pills, which he carried
in his pocket ; and this contrivance prepared the way
for a very satisfactory termination, as a part of
which the repetition of the piece was announced. A
Grand Visionary Fairy Spectacle, in two acts, en-
titled The Spirit of the Snow Drift; or, the Frozen
Charm, concluded the entertainments of the evening.
Mortals and immortals, fairies, sylphs, ruined towers,
and old oak chambers, in turn, varied the scene, and
did their best to make the beholders forget the mo-
notony of their every-day occupations. We cannot
speak too highly of the getting up of the above pieces.
The acting, too, was excellent, and afforded, to all
appearances, universal satisfaction. We have little
doubt that this theatre, while conducted as it is at
present, will maintain its long-standing popularity.

CHEAP LIGHT,

FDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole'
A Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intanding to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.
They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH NAVY.
Extract of a letter at Lloyd's from their agent at
Gibraltar, dated July 14:—

" The French Government steamer, Pluton, with his
Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, arrived at this
port from Oran, on the night of the Bth inst.; steamed
for Tangier the following morning, and returned to
her anchorage the same evening.
" The French line of battle ships (of the first class),
Suffren, Jemmapes, and Triton, also the frigate Belle
Poule, which were in Algesiras roadstead, have this day
sailed to the westward, and said to be bound for Cadiz to
await the issue of the negotiations now pending with
the Emperor of Morocco."
Extract from the Gibraltar Chronicle of July 12 :
" A frigate signalised three leagues distant to the
eastward this morning; did not show her colours until
her Majesty's ship Warspite fired a gun and hoisted the
demand as she passed Europe Point to the west, when
she showed French colours. Her decks were crowded
with people."

Extract of a letter from Captain F. P. Blackwood,
of her Majesty's ship Fly, dated 18th March, 1844, at
Sydney, and addressed to the Honourable S. Herbert:—
" I have the honour of informing you of our sailing
for Torres Straits, to continue our survey, and for the
purpose of building a stone beacon on Raine Island.
" I purpose erecting a circular stone tower, of fifty
feet in height, twenty-five feet in diameter (base), six-
teen feet diameter (top), to be painted in black and
white bands, each band to be one-third of the height
of the building.
" I believe that the beacon may be built in the course
of the ensuing season, and when completed, and the
track surveyed to Cape York (which I purpose also
doing this season), I have no hesitation in saying, that
Torres Straits may be as safely passed through, as
anv other strait in the world, and the passage may be
made in three days, taking the precaution of anchoring
each night whilst inside the reefs."

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1844.

The Lords did not sit yesterday.
The Commons met attwelve o'clock, and went into
Cominittei on the Turnpike Trusts Bill. S;r J.
GRAHAM, on the first clause being proposed, said, it
W 43 not the intention of the Government to continue
the Turnpike Trusts Committee beyond the 29th c`
•Sep'ember, 1845. The:Bill went through Committee,
'and the report was ordered to be brought up this day
Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that, on the 30th o,
July, he would call the attention of the House to the
report of the Committee on the health of towns.
A brief discussion took place relative to printing
more copies of the report on the Custom 1-louse
frauds, when Mr. T. I)uNcoMBE announced that on
the House going into Committee of Ways and
Means, the Chancellor of the Exchequer should go a
step further and allow the whole evidence to be pub-
lished. But of what use is evidence taken with
donrs ? If en:, evidence taken under such cir-
cuma.ances is so 13:;d that. Mr. GOULBUIIN is afraid
to publish it, what disclosltreS • Would have been
mail if the inveztigaion had Leen conducted in an
open and manly manner ? 'h 1e Committee, no doubt,
is compckel of honouvable men; but if they wish the
public to give•credit to their honour, why should they
adopt a course which tl'e public believe is only in-
tended to sere: n the g;:ilty, theskepy Comtnissioner4:,
and th!! protegees of whigs and Tories, who have
robbed this country to an incalculable amount?
mat t•rs rot, however. The 658 copies which are to be
pi inred I spread over every county in the United
K it= .

Thellor.,;e Slaughtering Bill went through Com-
mittee, and the report was ordered to be received on

Frith! y.

On the report of the Poor-law Amendment Bill
heirv,-3; brought up, Mr. P. BORTUWICK moved the in-
troduction ()flour clauses, the object of which was to
allow husband and wife above sixty years of age to
reside together in the workhouse, and to provide that
children under seven years of age shall not be sepa-
rated from their mothers.
Sir JA ME:, GRAHAM resisted the amendments, on

the ground that th'3 law provided paupers above sixty

IN RE ROBERT NELMES.

The insolvent in this case, who appeared to be an old
and sickly man, applied on his petition to be discharged,
to file which, he was compelled to apply to the Court as
a pauper, and succeeded in getting 51. to defray the law
expenses.
Mr. WOODRUFFE opposed the insolvent on behalf of
Mr. Meadows, on the ground of withholding certain ac-
count-books, and concealing property. He was examined
at great length with respect to a freehold property which
he had possess9d at Barnet, and in right of which he
voted at the last election for Middlesex. In his exami-
nation he admitted that at the time he voted the pro-
perty was out of his hand, another person holding it as
collateral security. At that time he had no right to vote.
Mr. Commissioner Lew said although there were some
suspicious facts connected with the case, they were not
sufficient to justify a remand.
The insolvent was then discharged.

SUMMER ASSIZES.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Worcester, July 22.
The commission was opened for the county and city of
Worcester, about six o'clock on Saturday evening, by Lord
Chief Justice. Tindal,.and business commenced this morning
at ten o'clock .before. Mr.. Sergeant Atcherley, in the Nisi
Priors Court, while the Lord Chief Justice charged the
grand jury on the Crown side of the Hall.
The civil business is rather above than under the usual
.average. There are 21 causes for trial, 19 for the county,
and 2 for the city, among whizh two are marked for special
juries. One of these, an action of ejectment, is expected to
opcupy at least two days. There is also a case among the
'nisi prius records whlch excites some interest in this and the
adjoining county of Gloucester—an indictment for perjury
against Mr. Augustus Newton, barrister-at-law. This case
stands fixed to come on the first thing to-morrow morning.
The calendar is heavy, considered with reference both to
the
.number of prisoners who are to tried, and the nature
of the offences imputed to them. There are fifty-nine pri-
46ners, and forty-two cases, and among them are two cases.
of 'abusing -children under ten years of age, two of unna-
tural offences, two of-thooting with intent to murder or
,naim,, one of concealment of the birth of a child by burning
the body, two of manslaughter, five of burglary, four of
breaking and entering the dwelling-house in the day-time,
and three of robbery with violence. There is also a charge
against a person named Bowen, -described in the calendar
;is a labourer, for having feloniously destroyed and injured
part of a leaf of a register-book of births, burials, and mar-
riages, of the parish of Croome D'Abitot.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.)
James Grainger, John Donovan, and James Tisdale, were
charged as follows :
Police-constable 124 E swore he saw the prisoners fighting
in Little Coram-street. He cautioned them to desist, but
they became more violent. He attempted to arrest them,
but the three prisoners fell upon him and struck him on the
face so that his nose bled violently. They kicked him on
the legs and body so as to cause him great pain. He called
police-constable 28to his assistance.
E
Police-constable 28 E deposed that when he attempted to
assist his brother officer, Tisdale threw him on the pavement,
and his back was much hurt in consequence.
The uniform of 124 E was much torn and soiled. The
prisoners are idle, disorderly fellows, who are well known to
the police.
Sergeant Lester said a memorial had been recently pre-
sented to the Commissioners of Police from the inhabitants
of Little Corarn-street, complaining of the annoyance occa-
sioned by the prisoners and their gang.
They were fined ss. each, or five days' imprisonment.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
John Kilpatrick was charged before ➢lr. Traill with exces-
sive cruelty to a dog. It appeared that the defendant was
observed leading a small spaniel along the street with a string
round its neck.: The animal seemed tired and heated, when
the defendant dragged it along by the neck, and he was seen
to lift it up and dash it with violence on the pavement.
Several persons who witnessed the brutal conduct of the de-
fendant cried " shame,". but he treated their remonstrances
with ridicule, until at length a policeman on being apprised
of the facts, applied and obtained a summons against the
aggressor.
The defendant, who denied that he acted with such cruelty,
was fined 2.05., which he refused to pay, and was locked up.
A man named Brown was charged with an indecent as-
sault on a young female named Hill, residing with her parents
at Walworth.

The prisoner took advantage of the absence of the com-
plainant's parents and treated her in a most shameful manlier.
She complained of the conduct she experienced to her mother,
who procured a warrant against the assailant.
The defendant contradicted the complainant's statements,
but the Magistrate said that he was satisfied with the truth
of her evidence and immediately inflicted a fine of Si. on the
defendant, and in default of payment committed him for two
months.

PORTRAIT OF SIR BENJAMIN BRODIE.

We have just been favoured with the sight of an
cinbosscd medallion portrait of that eminent surgeon,
Sir Ben:amin Brodie. The portrait is engraved by
Fre,bairii from the original model for the medal
which has been executed by Wyori, and it is by far
the best likeness that has yet appearedof Sir Ben-
jamin. As a work of art, the engraving is not less
deserving of commendation, and so admirably are the
lights and shade.; managed, epecially about the eye
and the lower part of the forehead, that it is difficult
to believe that the plate has been wrought upon a flat
surface. The countenance indicates great shrewdness
and sagacity, and the expression of the mouth, in
particular, is that of decided energy and determination
of purpose. In fact, Mr. Freebairn has preserved all
the characteristics of Sir Benjamin Brodie's counte-
nance with singular fidelity, and the result is, a
portrait as like life as it is possible for engraving to
be. As the proCes,ional reputation of the original is
widely diffthed, more especilly among medical men,
we have no doubt that this admirable portrait will
become speelily popular with the faculty, first, from
its accuracy as a likeness, and secondly, from its su-
perior excelle;ice as a work of art.
