NORFOLK CIRCUIT—NORWICH, Aun. 11.
Yesterday Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE arrived in this
city, and proceeded to the Castle Court to open the King's
Commission.
Mr. Baron GAB ROW did not leave Bury until five
o'clock, it was therefore a late hour before he arrived.
This morning at 11 o'clock, both their Lordships went
to the Cathedral, where divine service was performed (in
the presence of thousands), after which, they were con-
ducted to the Court near the Castle. Mr. Baron GAR,
ROW to the Crown, and Mr. Justice J. PARKE to the nisi
prius Court.
The county calendar contains only 30- prisoners, (a great
number having beet. tried at the late sessions,) a sum-
mary statement of whose alleged offences we hereunto
annex, and which goes to spew that the greater number
are charged with crimes which affect their lives, and we
regret to add, that the list is stained with two cases of
murder, one of very recent occurrence. Summary state-
ment :—Murder, 2 ; housebreaking and larceny therein,
9 ; burglary, 1 ; horse stealing, 3 ; ass stealing, 1 ; sheep
stealing, 8 ; pig stealing, 1 ; stealing in dwelling houses,
2 ; assault, with intent to commit a rape, 1 ; larcenies, 2.

Mr. GREGSON, we hear, declined the office
of solicitor to the excise, the income of which has, since
the death of Mr. CARR, been fixed at 2,5001. a year.
Mr. DEHANEY, who held the office of solicitor to the ex-
cise in Ireland bas, we understand, been since appointed to
succeed Mr. CARE.

MUSIC-HALL.--Mademoiselle SONTAG
made her first appearance in Liverpool on Friday evening.
She realized our most sanguine expectations. la the style
in which she sings, we never heard anything so perfect.
Her voice is delightful, and her intonation scrupulously
nice. Mademoiselle NINA SONTAG, who accompanies
her sister in her musical tour, promises to be a tine singer,
but requires experience. —Liverpool Albion.
THE THEATRE.—Mr. KEAN'S short en-
gagement of one week has been the most attractive en-
gagement of the present season. The house was, on Mon-
day night, crowded in almost every part ; and the autlito-
ries collected, on the other nights of the week, to witness
this great actor's tragic delineations, were often more nu-
merous than on the first evening. On Monday night Mr.
KEAN opened with King Richard ; on Tuesday be played
Shylock ; Wednesday, Othello, for Miss SMITHSON'S bene-
fit; Thursday, Sir Giles Overreach ; Friday, for the benefit
of Mr. WA ADE, Lucius Junius Brutus ;and, on Saturday,
Hamlet, for his own benefit. Traces of his recent indisposi-
tion are perceptible on his countenance, and he evidently
labours under great bodily weakness ; but his genius is as
vigorous as ever, and he pourtrays, as powerfully as he
pourtrayed them in the days of his strength, the work-
ings of ambition, of revenge, of jealousy, as well as of
the other passions which agitate the human bosom.—

SOUTHWARK COURT OF REQUESTS.—It
appears, from a return made to Mr. Secretary PxEL by
the Commissioners of this Court, pursuant to an order of
the House of Commons, that no less than 10,198 execu-
tions were ordered against the persons of individuals resid-
ing within the Borough, and the eastern half hundred of
Brixton, during the years 1826 and 1827 ; and of that
number, 2,298 were actually imprisoned for various periods
of 20, 40, 60, and 100 days. Of the above, 1,693 were
committed to the County Gaol, and 605 to the Borough
Compter. Fortunately for the city, the expence of main-
taining prisoners from the half-hundred, exclusive of the
Borough, was a few years ago thrown upon the county,
other wise they must have maintained the whole number.
The debts varied from a few shillings to between 41. and Si.
A GRACE.—One day at the table of the late
Dr. PEARSE, (Dean of Ely), just as the cloth was remov-
ing, the subject of discourse happened to be that of an ex-
traordinary mortality amongst the lawyers.s. "We have
lost," said a gentleman, not less t eminent bar-
risters, in as many months. The Dean, who was quite
deaf, rose as his friend finished his remark, and gave the
company grace For this, and every other mercy, the
Lord's name be praised !" The effect was irresistible.
Mr. CALDECOTT, an account of whose clerk's
misbehaviour at a gentleman's house, where he had called
for payment, appeared a few days since in our columns,
has written us a letter, in which he satisfactorily explains
the facts of the case, and clearly proves that he was wholly
ignorant of the misconduct of his clerk, and altogether dis-
approved of it.
