STRAND THEATRE.

After a. recess of a week, well employed, we presume,
in preparations, this theatre re-opened on Monday
evening, with the treble attraction of two new pieces, and
the first appearance for the season) of that excellent
light comedian, and rcry favourite actor, Mr. J. S.
Balls. The first of the novelties above mentioned, is a
piece from the prolific and, generally successful pen of
Mr. Selby, eutitled The Maximums and Speciments of
William Musigins, gathered up and noted down
by him during a short but eventful career as
a doctor s boy, a sailor, and a grocer's foreman, the
second character of the three being filled by him during
the time his reputation is under a cloud, in consequence
of a sum lased participation in his friend, Fred. Flipper's
clandestine practices on the till of a benOvvlent uncle,
who is :Also a grocer. William Muggins is a 'hero of
the goo d boy school, and if he maintain his ground on the,
stage o f the Strand, will be more indebted for his success
to the 'clever acting of Miss Ellen Daly, than to what the
author has Alone for him. The " maximums" which he

is ever and anon taking out a note book to set down
(rather an unusual practice in boys of his age and call-
' ing), consist of good sentences, well pronounced, and
which, as Shakspere says, would be better if well fol-
lowed. We cannot follow his career to its happy
termination, but the reader may make up for our
unlucky deficiency of spade by a iisit to this
little theatre, where Miss Daly, till further notice, will
lay it before him more clearly and agreeably than we
can hope to do. A more prominent character than the
hero is Samuel Snigger, " a town-made boy, who laughs
continually, and can never keep his countenance," and
whose iinfortunate propensity to grinning, in sea-
son and out of season, loses him every situa-
tion he falls into—apothecary's boy, footman,
and undertaker's mute, till at last fortune picks
him up as a crossing sweeper, and, by making a
gentleman of him, gives him the only serious moments he
ever had in his life. The part was capitally played by
Mr. Attwood, and the hearty applause of the audience
was only a tribute he well deserved. We can hardly
say in what capacity he shone the most ; we should say
the footman, if we did not recollect the misplaced mirth of
the undertaker's man ; he was worst as the sailor ; his
fun evaporated as soon as he got on salt water. Mr.
Hall, as Canterbury Toni, a real "old salt," a regular
" Jack Junk," had too little to do ; his " yarns" were
admirably spun, and his face and figure so admirably
made up, that it was a perfect study. The most lively
scene was that of the Dignity Ball in Barbadoes, which,
however, is hardly new to the stage. The piece was
successful enough to be announced for every evening.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1842.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Commit-
tee divided.
For the motion
Against it
Majority against the m0ti0n...... —l62
Mr. FIELDEN then moved that Mr. Greene do leave the
Chair. _ _

Me gallery was cleared for :a division, but none took place.
On our entrance,

Sir R. PEEL was on his legs. If the power which the
House was possessed of was a good ome, he did not. think it
right to abuse it.—( Hear, hear.) The House had already de-
cided upon the question of the continuance of the Commis-
sion, and he did not think that the course pursued by the Hon.
Member was fair towards the House.—(Clieers.)
Lord PALMERSTON was of the same opinion with the
Right Hon. Baronet. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would
not persevere in pressing his motion against the general sense
of the House.—( Hear, hear.) ,

111;.--FIELMEN thought after the numerous condemnations
of the &ause as unconstitutional, it was fair of any Member to
offer to it all the obstruction in his power. He should persevere
in dividing the House against the further discussion of the
clause that evening.
Mr. ESCOTT thought that the opposition given by the
Hon. Member for Oldham to the progress of the clause, could
only be considered as a factious opposition.
Sir C. NAPIER hoped that the Hon. Member for
Oldham would not persevere in his 'notion, as it had been
already shown that he had but sixteen supporters in the House.
Colonel SIRTHORP said that he was opposed to the
clause, but all he wished was that the sense of the House
should be fairly taken on the subject.
Mr. WARD thought it was manifest that the course taken
by the Hon. Member for Oldham, if persevered in, would form
a dangerous precedent, and could only lead to the total obstruc-
tion of public business.
Mr. BROTHERTON hoped that the Hon. Member for
Oldham would withdraw his motion ; although he could not
avoid voting for an adjournment, at that late hour, if the ques-
tion went to a division. _ _

Mr. AGLIONRY also hoped that the Hon. Member for
Oldham would withdraw his motion.

Mr. R. YORKE did not wish to vote in favour of any fur-
ther adjournment, although he had been one of the minority on
the last division. _ _

General JOHNSON wished for further time to discuss
the clause, although he did not intend to offer any factious op-
position to its passing.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the Committee
did not divide on Mr. Fielden's moti?n for adjournment, which
was put and negatived without a division.
The Committee then divided on the clause, when there ap•
peared—
For the clause
Against it
Majority in favour of the clause...... —l2O
The clause was then agreed to.
The House then resumed, and the Chairman reported pro-
gress, and obtained leave to sit again.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter to Two.

STATE OF TRADE.

There was a rather better feeling in this mar-
ket yesterday than for some weeks previously, and
an increased amount of business done in yarn
(principally for the Russian market) ; and also
in some descriptions of goods, particularly in domestics
and inferior qualities In shirtings. Printing cloths,
however, continue as dull as ever ; and in no descrip-
tion, either of goods or yarn, can any improvement of
price be noted.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JULY I.—There has
been but a dull market to-day ; not many buyers have
attended, and the number of pieces sold has been limited.
Though the quantity of business has been smaller, the
prices have been stationary. In the wool market prices
remain the same; but lamb and skin wools have been
much inquired after, and are becoming scarce.—Man-
chester Guardian.

SU PPLY.

• On.:the Order of the Day 'being read for going into a
Committee of 'Supply; -'
Lord PALMERSTON said, when the Mines and
Collieries Bill was introduced, the Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir J. Graham) stated that not only did the Bill meet
his entire approbation, but that when the Bill was
brought in it should have the warm and cordial support
of her Majesty's Government He saw in another place,
that yesterday, another Noble Lord, also a Member
of the Government, who held a high official si-
tuation, said that with regard to that Bill, her
Majesty's Government meant to remain passive, and
that each individual member of it was left to take what
course he pleased ; and it was evident to foresee that
that Member of the Government meant to give anything
but a warm and cordial support to the proposed measure
He wished to know how these two apparently contra-
dictory statements could be reconciled ? Or whether they
were to understand that the members of the Government
in this House were the expounders of the policy of the
Government in Noble hands in another place.
. _

Sir J. GRAHAM said he did not know on what foun-
dation he could rest his explanation, except the
report of what had occurred in another place. The decla-
ration he had himself made was that the principle of
the Bill met his cordial assent, not in his individual ca-
pacity, but as one of the Government, reserving to himself
and his colleagues the right of considering the details of
the measure, particularly theclause specifying the labour
of children under 13 years of age. That clause the Noble
Lord had altered on condition that the hours of work
for children tea years of age should be limited. That alte-
ration he could have supported with perfect consistency.
with his pledge. He had no communication with his
Noble Colleague, as he could have done, had he had
notice of the question,but he had no doubt that his reser-
vation applied entirely to the details of the measure.
Sir JOHN SEALE asked the Bight Hon. Baronet a
question—a subject on which the whole of the south-
west coast felt great interest. It was whether the Go-
vernment had made up their mind as to the port of de-
parture for the East and West India packets.
Sir B. PEEL replied that the Government had come
to no decision on the subject, which was one of great
importance, and required further consideration. They
would not decide until they had inquired fully, and satis-
fied themselves of the relative fitness of the several
ports both as regarded the interest of trade, and the
convenience of passengers.
Sir J. SEALE was understood to say that Dartford
bad been recomm ended by the Commissioners of In-
quiry ; but he ha .d heard that there was an intention of
selecting South aripton
Sir R. PEEL said, there was as yet no intention re-
specting any particular part.

and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as
HwEehTITLE is afforded
SLABBERT'S POORT,
situated in the field Cornetcy of Tacks, irt the county of Beaufort,
being in south latitude 33.15 to 20. nit„,east longitude 23.13
to 15, near the Iraka River. It is
A SHEEP FARM,
and considered to be the best in this district, comprising
43,304 ACRE', OF RICH PASTURAGE,
which, during many years, has been the source of immense pecu.
niary gain.

THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE
WHOLE YEAR,
which, under able management, it is needless to remark, will
afford ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe-
rous colony has lately been moat encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines ; also five permanent springs,
giving a never-failing supply of water.

The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates
as follows ;—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for

A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON,

Is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex-
tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is adorned by
A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY,

so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature on the road.
The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap.
proached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resplendent in
every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown
timber in Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli-
gence, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent
termination. But it will be well first to return to the habitation.

IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA,
and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that
substantiality in the erection is conspicuous every where. The
walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re.
gards convenience and internal comfort, it cannot be exceeded.
All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent
proportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded.

THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS ,
aro adapted to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting
moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise of Reading is in
abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and characterbe tempted into
this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not
count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are
famous, and it only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously
at Grazely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec-
tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his.•
tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the
subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit fo
the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard ar
twn stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriages°
depository over fur hay and straw, and coachman's room.
THE FARM YARD,
on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the
buildings are famous ; and close by are two additional slips ofgarden
for potatoes and vegetables. By the way it has been omitted to
state there is

A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN,
plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard
hr rd by, that gives promise of 100 bushels of apples and pears this
season.

FORMS OF PETITIONS.
Mr. FERRAND wished to ask the advice of the
Speaker upon a subject. He had beside him a petition
signed by 4,000 poor men, miners and colliers, of Scot-
land; but unfortunately none of the signatures had been
written upon the same sheet as that which contained the
petition. He wished to know if there were any objec-
tion to receiving such a peUtion.
The SPEAKER said the rule of the House was, that
there must be one signature at least on the same sheet
as that on which the petition was written.
