HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A one act drama, entitled The Bastile, was pro-
duced at this theatre last evening. The scene is laid
in the early days of the reign of Louis XIV., when
the Queen-Mother was Regent, with Cardinal Maza-
rin for her Minister. Cardinal de Retz (Mr. Tilbury)
is intriguing with the French nobility to procure the
displacement of the Minister and the banishment of
Mazarin ; and among those actively engaged in this
' intrigue is the D uchesse Montbazon (Miss Charles) who
has been exiled in consequence of her endeavours to
promote the objects of the faction of the straw,
that is to say, of the anti-Mazarin party. Louis XIV.
(Mr. H. Holl) is meanwhile amusing himself with
endeavouring to seduce the affections of Ninon La-
batte (Madame Celeste), a Gascon peasant-girl, whose
affections are divided between Fricandeau (Mr. Web-
ster) a restaurateur, and roasted apples. She is,
moreover, a great lover of sights, and the members of
the faction of the straw take advantage of this pro-
pensity to induce her to change clothes with the Duchess
who has secretly returned to Paris. Louis, of whose
rank she is ignorant, has meanwhile given her his
ring, telling her that that will procure her the entree
of the palace, and has at the same time given orders
for her incarceration in the Bastile, in order to have
her more completely in his power. The Duchess,
who has changed clothes with her, is arrested in her
stead, and conveyed to the Bastile, and shortly after-
wards she is arrested as the Duchess, and conveyed
to the same destination, whilst poor Fricandeau is
forced to accompany her, because, unhappy Wight, he
wears in his cap the emblem of treason—a straw.
The Governor of the Bastile belongs to the faction of
the straw, and plots with the conspirators to detain
the Monarch until he shall have consented to grant
all they ask. Louis comes, sees Ninon attired as the
Duchess, attempts in vain to seduce her affections, and,
overcome by her appeals to his magnanimity, consents
to her marriage with Fricandeau, and promises her
a dowry. He quits the room for a moment, to pro-
cure the necessary documents for her release and
marriage, and during his absence Fricandeau, who
has overheard the plans of the conspirators, enters,
and informs her of them. She recollects the ring,
goes to seek assistance, at the same time desiring her
lover to remain and defend the King to the
last. Fricandeau hides himself behind a picture.
The King enters, and is soon joined by the
Duchess, attired in the garb of Ninon, and wear-
ing a mask. She promises to grant him all he
can desire, on condition of his signing the paper, she
proffers him—he signs without reading it. She un-
masks ; the conspirators enter ; and lie finds he has
unwittingly signed a decree of banishment against his
mother and the Minister. The conspirators refuse to
let him quit the Bastile until the decree shall have
been executed. Fricandeau emerges from his con-
cealinent, draws his carving•knife, and, with the King,
keeps the conspirators at bay until the arrival of Ninon
with the guards to his rescue. • The conspirators are
punished, and Ninon becomes Madame Fricandeau.
The piece mainly depends upon Madame Celeste, and
admirably did she carry it through. In the earlier
scenes, where she stumped about in her sabots,
curtseying to everybody, and wondering at every-
thing, yet full of wit, she was the very beau ideal
of an espiegle French peasant girl, and then
as the fine lady, stumbling at every step from
the length of her train, she was magnificent.
Beautifully, too, did she act the more serious scenes
in the Bastile, and she well deserved the rapturous
reception she met with when she was led on at the
conclusion of the piece. She was well supported by
Webster, who announced the piece for repetition
with general approbation. The house was crammed
to suffocation—boxes, pit, and gallery, all were over-
flowing. Even standing room was at a premium.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATI'ERSALL'S--YESTERDAY.
Thera was no lack of business yesterday, but its chief
interest centered in the Derby outsiders, some of which
which were backed to win large stakes. We may
select St. Valentine, the Languish colt, Chesterfield,
and Lucetta colt. About the first 50 to 1 were taken
in two or three quarters ; about the second, 2,000 to 40
three times, 9,000 to 40, and once only, we believe, 100
to 1 to a small sum, were booked about the next, and
once, and 1,000 to 15 repeatedly ; 1,000 to 15, two or
against the last 5,000 to 50 three times, and 2,000 to
25. The betting was not confined to this lot, several
other outsiders having been fancied at the prices quoted
below. We heard nothing done about the favourite, and

Ths memorial of the Church of Scotland, or, mote
properly speaking, of the minority of the clergy, has a
plain and obvious meaning; and the meaning is, that
if their demands be not conceded by Government
during the next session of Parliament, those adhering
to them will secede from the Establishment. That
their claims will be granted by Sir Robert Peel,
Dr. Chalmers does not expect. It is impossible be
should do so. The Government knows full well the
value of the Church of Scotland as a political engine ;
but we have no fear that they will purchase its favour
and support by conceding to it independence of civil
control. Besides, they are too much indebted already
to the moderate section of that Church for the zealous
, must secede, or bring
services they have rendered to the Conservative cause,
to sanction proceedings that would tend to crush the
principles on which they have taken their stand. The

The following account of Mr. --I,l*--g-;•t•t
sculptor, selected by Sir Robert P
national statue to the memory of Lot* --
been communicated by J. Emerson _
the Member for Belfast, to the Utiftgirrat, 61
will be read with interest: Mr. -weguslat.
story, writes Mr. Tennent, is a very sim-
ple one; it is the every-day tale of genius in
its struggles to surmount those obstacles with which
poverty obstructs its path to distinction. The fol-
lowing particulars I have learned from Mr. M'Dow-all
himself at various times—but I shall first mention the
circumstances under which I made his acquaint-
ance :

In the first exhibition of the Royal Academy, after
its removal to the present Gallery, I was much struck
with the beauty of a little statue of " The Girl
Reading," which the catalogue ascribed to a sculptor
named " Macdowall." The name struck me as Irish ;
but being surprised that I should not before have
heard of the artist who was capable of producing such
a work, I made it my business to find him out.
He did not call upon me, as stated in the Ulster Times,
but I went to his lodgings, in one of the sub-
urban streets near Euston-square, where I found
him, in quarters ill suited to his profession, either
from their extent or situation—being too small to bold
his models, and so exposed to the sun, that it was dif-
ficult to keep the clay damp whilst he Worked at it.
To my astonishment I found that he was not only an
Irishman, but from my own town—a Belfast man !
His miniatnre studio was filled to excess with his
unpurchased productions, all evincing the same
talent, and exhibiting the same perceptions of beauty,
as that which had attracted my attention in the ex-
hibition.
His story was as follows :—His father converted
some small houses in Belfast into money, which
he almost immediately lost in some injudicious specu-
lation, and died, leaving his widow and this son, then
a child, with almost no provision. At 12 years of
age, having sought the protection of some relatives in
London, he was bound apprentice to a coach-builder
(not a stone-cutter, as stated in the (Ist& Times),
and shortly after his raothur djai. His master, sub-
sequently beeame
~kruprr and whilst settling
his affairs, took 4iftgrentice to lodge in the house of
the late ire n lAAt , Chenu, where he amused him-
self by mi v, i r;g, in clay, and for the first time dis-
covered hiq43otaste for sculpture. His maSter, on re-
sulningbu remoyed tolsolanal.; buthavingtrslated
Macdowall with some unkindn6s, the latter con-
trived to obtain a surrender of his indentures, aban-
doned his half-acquired handicraft, and, almost
without a shilling, and altogether without a
friend, he boldly resolved to become an artist, and at
once started in his new career as a sculptor. Tutors
and teachers he had none, because he could not com-
mand the means to avail himself of their instruction ;
but, after years of self-taught study the most labo-
rious and persevering, he found himself at last qualifie d
to earn a livelihood. But it seemed as if his struggles
and difficulties were only then commencing. Sculp-
ture in this country is a thing so costly, that the
wealthy, alone can aspire to possess themselves of it.
The rising sculptor can look only to the rich ; his
most trifling works require an infinity of study and
labour ; and the very unwrought material of a single
statue may often cost a greater sum than a finished
painting of Pickersgill or Sir Thomas Litivreince.
These difficulties, too, are increased in the case of the
imaginative sculptor, as contrasted with the portrait
painter : the latter can safely rely on the vanity or
sympathy of the public for employment ; but the
poetical sculptor is dependent solely on that rarer
quality—their purity of taste. Still Macdowall was
not altogether without resources, and for years he
contrived to support himself by modelling for the
figure shops, by employment in the studios of his
more fortunate rivals, and by occasional designs for
works in silver and or molu. His genius was, how-
ever, of a loftier range, and by degrees study and ma-
tured skill qualified him to undertake works of the
highest order. But he wanted a name to allure a pur-
chaser ; his designs, though praised when exhibited,
were returned to him unproductive ; and he failed to
procure a single considerable order either in bronze
or marble. Modest and retiring by nature, his diffi-
dence was increased by disappointment ; he at last
almost shrunk from making an exertion, when he
seemed only destined to undergo defeat. At length,
' half by accident, and half in despair, he was per-
suaded, in 1828 or 1829, to send in a design for a
statue of Major Cartwright, which was about to be
erected in Burton-crescent. He was late in for-
warding it; but although the Committee had ac-
tually come to a decision to-- give the work
to another, they instantly reversed that de-
cision on the appearance of his model, and
gave it the preference. The funds subscribed, bow-
ever, proved eventually inadequate for the completion
of the work as contemplated by him ; and the young
artist was again doomed to disappointment. His
talents had, however, attracted the attention of the
Major's family, and he still speaks with gratitude of
their early friendship. No opportunity of equal im-
portance presented itself to him afterwards ; and
when I saw him ten years later, -he told me that his
subsequent career had been one almost unbroken
series of disappointed hopes ; his labours had been all
unproductive ; his works in clay, -when he could
command the means to get them up, were admired
and praised, but procured no commission in marble ;
his last effort was then in the exhibition (the statue
of " the Girl Reading," which I had seen), and if
that failed also, he might prepare to sink in despair.
It had already, however, been most promisingly
received; Sir Francis Chantrey, a genius whose mind
was as far above petty jealousy, as his talents were
beyond the reach of petty rivalry, had that year the
placing of the works for exhibition in the sculp.ture-,
room ; he had been struck with the extraordularY
' beauty of Macdowall's statue, he gave it one of the
moat prominent positions in the
saloon, and brought
several of the Academicians routiel,to admire it with
him. Still no order had yet reached the anxious
artist for a single copy of it, and I found him when I
first saw him in all the anxiety of mingled hope and
despondency.

Francis Egerton, after seeing it, at once gave a
commission for it in marble. Mr. Wentworth Beau-
mont, then Member for Northumberland, did the
same, and ordered three other'groups beside; Lord
Dungannon ordered one for his splendid mansion at
Brynkinalt ; Mr. M'Calmont, of Eaton- square, gave
orders for busts ; Mr. Henry, of Dublin; Mr.
Davison, of Belfast ; and others, followed the same
example ; and in the course of a few weeks,
merely from having had his merits pointed out to
those who had the judgment and discrimination to
appreciate them, the before neglected sculptor found
himself with orders in his hands to the amount of
some thousands of pounds. He then removed front
his unsuitable lodging, in the suburbs, to his present
studio, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, where he
received fresh proofs of public favour, in orders from
the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Panmure.
Year after year his reputation has been advancing, as
his productions have been seen and admired ; and not
only the public, but the Royal Academy have repaid
spontaneous honours for twenty years of
trial
elected him an " In 1841 the Royal Academicians
associate," unCanyassed and un-
him

and th

solicited.
The most recent event in his story, and the one
which elicited the notice of Mr. M'Dowall in the
Ulster Times, is his selection last week by Sirßobert
Peel to execute the national statue to the memory of
Lord Exmouth. Sir Robert Peel's cultivated taste
for art, and his munificent patronage of British
artists, are familiar to every one. On the occa-
sion of having these statues to dispose of, he in-
timated his desire to extend the Government pa-
tronage to those artists of high talent in distant
Parts of the kingdom, who had hitherto been almost
excluded from a share of metropolitan orders, and
that a monopoly of these should no longer be con-
fined to men of great name, but that the patronage at
the disposal of the Government should be made
available in hastening the attainment of popularity
by those men of ability whose names were, as yet, so
little knows; that their reputation was still dispropor-
tionate to thei r gen ius. With this determination he him-
self visited in person the studios of some of the London
artists, and amongst the rest, of Mr. Macdowall; and
in two days after, communicated to him in a letter,
characterised by excellent feeling, that he had been
chosen to execute the statue of Lord Exmouth.

Mr. M'Dowall's struggles for success may now be
considered at an end. He has received the highest
tribute to his talents which his country can pay; he
has had the honours of the Academy spontaneously
conferred upon him by the heads of his owu profes-
sion; and he has been chosen by the Prime Minister
of England to execute the monument voted by the
nation to the memory of one of her most distinguished
naval heroes.

Captain Whittingham, an A.D.C., has brought over a
new batch of standards taken from the Chinese. These
standards .are much larger than those 'brought over
before; they are yellow in colour, kid have on them,
embroidered, a Serpent or Dragon—a sort of heraldic
monster that would do for either—and no inscription
at all. All of them have the same device, and the
learned and curious in such matters are now puzzling
ipres
their brains to know what it means. These interesting

lIISTOR Y OF WOMAN
IN ENGLAND,
AND HER INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY AND
LITERATURE.
By Miss LAWItANCE,
Author of " Memoirs of the Queens of England from the
12th to the 16th Century."
(EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.)
" Although the study of English history has of late become
en popular, the progress of female society in England has
newer received the attention which its importance demands.
.Little has been told us of women in Saxon times ; and yet, even
then, ihere were illustrious Queens and female scholars whose
exertions for the diffusion of knowledge deamud the gra-
titude of their descendants—and scarcely more is known of
female society during the Norman period, and yet it was at
bidding of the lady that the poet-fathers of England first sung.
Even during the age of chivalry, many a lady illustrious for her
talents, and interesting from her romantic history, has no re-
cord, save in the seldom-opened pages of the Monkish Chroni-
cles. Descending to more recent times, we find the history of
woman in England linked with the Reformation, and each great
event-, To trace the progress of woman in England through
these var*is phases of her history is the object of the present
work: Beginning at the es fiest period, it has been the chief
aim of the 'writer to colleen-contemporary information from
every available source, and thus the obsolete code of laws, the
ancient pqpilu tales; will, the inveiktßry, the legal record,
the legend, and the satire, the testimon3 of the grave chroni-
cler, and that of the manners-painting trouvere, the letter, and
the diary, have all been laid 'under contribution to throw light
upon a subject as curious and interesting as it is important."

BETTS' PATENT BRANDY.—The unparal-
leled and still increasing sale of this favourite beverage,
has been attended by its natural consequence—the excitement
of envy in every branch of the Spirit trade. Hence, each suc-
ceeding year brings to notice competitors, whose announce-
ments, under fallacious pretences and high sounding titles, urge
upon the public noticeipticles, whose only distinguishing fea-
ture is their vast inferiotity to the Patent Brandy.
It it to guard purchasers against the consequences of such
attempts, and for that reason only, that J. T. Betts and Co. are
agatn, induced to state, that the Patent Brandy is manufactured
only at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St.
John-street • where it may be obtained, pale or coloured, at
Eighteen Shillings per Gallon, of the highest legal strength.
