ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Herr Dobler, the magician, took his farewell on Monday at
this theatre, but net in the manlier of ordinary mortals, with
set speech and rhetorical display, enunciated by the lips. Herr
Dobler bade farewell in his own characteristic way. A single
pistol was iu his hand—he snapred it —and forthwith there tell
a shower of farewells in type from the ceiling of the theatre,
flickering and falling on the heads of all present. The tyl•e and
paper, however, with the words of the " Lebew•obl" or farewell,
written in fair- writ german lines,was the least surprising portion of
the feat, for the paper had but to be held up against the light, and
flowers, all elegantly bound together, were to be seen, lying
within the surface of the material. This was alluded to in the
translated words, which fot mad part of the lare‘vell :
With sorrow deep my heart must view
The parting which this night must bring;
And even a tear may gem, like dew,
The latest " floral gifts " I fling.
My hand this charmed verse has traced,
Tis what my heart must tong contain ;
Prayer—in your memories to be placed,
And hope—that we may meet again
The house was crowded, and at the end the Herr was summoned
forward to receive the honoar due to his successful campaign
with the applause of all present. Amongst the company whom
we observed were—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, their Royal Hignesses the Duchess and Princess
Augusta of Cambridge. the Duchess of Buecleuch, Lady Jersey,
and Lady Clementina Villiers, &c., &c.

MEETING AT DEPTFORD.

DISTURBANCES, AND APPREHENSION OF
DR. M'DO WALL AND SEVERAL CHARTIST

LEADERS.

Last night a large assemblage of persons took place
at the Meeting-house, High-street, Deptford, which had
been granted by the Rev. Mr. Pullen, for the alleged
purpose of George Thompson, Esq., delivering a lecture
on the existing distress of the country. The Lecturer
failed to attend, considerable confusion took place in the
meeting, the police were sent for, and after some trifling
disturbance the meeting was dissolved. Some of the
persons who composed it then proposed an adjournment
to the Broadway, which was agreed to. Hundreds who
had been unable to gain admittance followed to the
Broadway, and in a few minutes the large open space
was filled, and shortly after the highway was blocked
up. The pump in the centre afforded an excellent ros-
trum. Dr. M'Dowall having ascended to harangue the
multitude, was loudly and vehemently cheered. The
address was, however, cut short by the arrival of Mr.
Superintendent Mallalieu and a number of the force.
The meeting was ordered to disperse, which order was
met with determined opposition, upon which orders were
given to clear, and Dr. M'Dowall was pulled down from
the pump, and several of the Chartist leaders were taken
in .:ustody to the station-house, the police be.ng assailed
by yells and groans. When our report left the town
was in a great state of excitement.

A vast number of addresses to the King continue to
pour in from all parts of France, expressive of the deepest grief
at his loss, and of attachment to his person and dynasty.
A Constantinople letter of the 29th ult., in a Ger-
man paper, states that the Porte has addressed a note
to the Ambassadors of the European Powers, expressing
its dissatisfaction at their intervention in favour of the
Christians, instead of leaving them to appeal to the Go-
vernment for protection. The same letter states, that
the Porte is about to send a Commissioner to England,
to purchase four large war steamers.
The Emancipation of Toulouse states that the
Municipal Council of that place has decided, by a ma-
jority of 24 out of 28, not to address the King on the
occasion of the death of the Duke of Orleans. The
motive assigned was, that however disposed the Council
might be to express its condolence to the King, it could
not consent to do anything which would imply adhesion
to the present system of Government, and that addresses
to the King from Municipal Councils had on other occa-
sions been forbidden. _ _

A SIMPLE REMEDII.—Iire this week saw an inter-
esting little boy writhing under extreme agony from the sting
of a bee, inflicted upon him in the hay-field. After he had
suffered fir some time,
a small quantity of honey was rubbed
upon the almost imperceptible wound, which so completely
the contrast between ex-
tracted the virus, that he became almost instantly free from
pain, and resumed his sports more joyously than before, from
pan and pleasure. In the absence of
honey, treacle, or probably sugar moistened with a drop or two
of water, would be found ',ally efficacious.—Leech Mercury.

NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND).

The Earl of CLANCARTY presented; a petition
from a place in Dublin, against the system of National
Education in Ireland. He bad given notice for to-night
of a question which he intended to put relative to the es-
tab!ishment of agricultural schools, by the Board of Edu-
cation. His Noble Friend, the President of the Council,
said it would be inconvenient to answer that question to-
night ; he should, therefore, postpone it till Friday next.

WESTERN CIRCUIT—Exeter, July 25.

CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.
William Lazarus and Philip Ewings were indicted for
breaking and entering the house of the Rev. W. Timothy
Napleton, at Stoke Canon, in this city, and stealing therefrom
a quantity of plate.
The only fact in this case at all of public interest is, that no
evidence could be given in what way the prisoners had entered
the house. The prosecutor's two servants proved the locking
up the house at night, and that a back door leading into the
garden was found open in the morning when the robbery was
discovered. This door had been bolted, and the witnesses
stated that it was impossible it could have been opened on the
outside. The prisoners, therefore, must have secreted them-
selves in the day-time in the house, er they must have had an
accomplice there.

Froin the failure of evidence as to the mode of their entrance,
and as there was no second count charging them with breaking
out of the house, they were acquitted of the burglary, but
found Guilty of stealing from the dwelling-house.
Though only 21 and 16 years of age, there were three other
indictments against them. Sentence was therefore deferred.
WITNESSES TO TILE CHARACTER OF A PRISONER.—In
the course of this day, after a prisoner had been convicted, her
counsel on her behalf tendered to the Learned Judge a certifi-
cate of her previous good character.
His LORDSHIP refused to receive it, and sail,

always refuse a certificate of this sort. If any one knows
enough of a prisoner to think it proper that he should receive
a good character, it is a public duty that such person should
come forward and state it in open Court.

Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £:300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia-
ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect
security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
THE WESTMINSTER LOAN COMPANY.

Sir Peter Laurie was engaged upwards of two hours
in investigating the charges against the above Company.
The Court was crowded by persons who lent them
money, many having lost their la►st shilling.
Sir PETER desired the parties present to put down
their names, and the amount due to them, which they
did in the private room.
It was ultimately agreed that the matter should stand
over until next week.

Several of the parties have expressed their determina-
tion to commence criminal proceedings against the Com-
pany, in the event of not getting their money. .

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

The cases which came before the Court this morning
were not of an interesting character.
MARLBOROUGH. STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Edward Kelly, a lusty, powerful Irishman, and Susan,
his wife, a young woman of exceeding stature, were
charged with committing a violent assault upon Police-
constable No. 109 of the F division, in the execution of
his duty.
It appeared that about half-past eight o'clock last
evening, the prisoner and another woman were quarrel-
ing together, and causing a great disturbance in Dudley-
court, High-street, St. Giles's, a place where fights
and rows occur several times a day ; and on the com-
plainant interfering to preserve the peace, both the
prisoners commenced a furious attack upon him, got him
down, and then beat and kicked him in a brutal manner
about the head, face, and body, until he became appa-
rently lifeless. Others of the force having arrived, the
prisoners were secured after a desperate resistance, in
which they struck and kicked several of the constables.
They were fined 50s. each, or in default, six weeks'
imprisonment and to hard labour in the House of Correc-
tion, Cold Bath- fields.

ITO TOURISTS AND OTHERS VISITING THE
HIGHLANDS.

TAMES ANDERSON, Proprietor and Occupier
CD of "ANDERSON'S HOTEL," Nairn, takes leave to an-
nounce that these large and commodious premises have very re-
cently undergone various important improvements and altera-
tions, by which such additional accommodation hasbeen obtained,
as to render the establishment amply suited for the comfortable
reception of the increasing number of visitors to the North.
The Hotel contains several Public and Sitting Rooms, nu-
merous Bed-rooms—all newly and tastefully painted and pa-
pered, fitted up with gas, and otherwise arranged in a comfort.
able and handsome manner. Attached to the Hotel are excel-
lent Stables, also fitted up with gas, to which considerable ad-
ditions have lately been made, with lock-up Coach-houses.
J. A. having spared no expense in rendering the comforts at-
tendant on a residence in the Hotel worthy of public patronage,
is happy to say that the House is frequented by some of the best
families from all parts of th, country, i 3 well known to many
Noblemen and Gentlemen visiting the North, and is also pa-
tronised by all Commercial Gentlemen who travel on the road.
In the Posting Department, Chaises and Gigs are always to be
had on the shortest notice.

The town of Nairn, at all times possessing advantages as a
watering place, has now become more celebrated as such, on
account of its SALT-WATER BATHS.

This establishment, affording Cold, Tepid, Warm, and
Shower Sea-water Bathing, is universally allowed to be un-
equalled in the North of Scotland.
The salubrity of the climate is remarkable—and the town and
surrounding country particularly agreeable. Mail and stage
coaches from Aberdeen and Inverness arrive and depart daily.
Various interest ing objects, such as Fort George, Cass-dor Castle,
and Culloden Muir, are within short distances of the town, and
the district is most inviting to those engaged in Geological and
other scientific pursuits. In short, to Invalids, Families, or
Tourists desirous of spending some time on the sea-coast, Nairn,
provided as it is with an Hotel and Baths of the above descrip-
tion, will be found to possess advantages not, to be surpassed in
the northern section of the kingdom.

I saw Peggy and the other two squeezing her throat
till she ceased groaning. I was in liquor, the three
o' hers were not. This happened about twelve or
one o'clock. I cannot tell exactly, for there was no
clock or watch there ; and now if Peggy had been
allowed to be examined by me in the hall, I should
have made all this known there. Peggy asked me
to bury her. I said I would not, I would leave
her there, for I was afraid to be seen. I told them they
had killed my mother. They begged me to keep every-
thing secret. We all remained in the house till the
dawn of day. I then went tip to Dowlais, and the others
returned home to my father-in-law, as they say, and told
the story about being all night at Cefn Coed Cymmer.
I met my wife again, about six o'clock in the evening of
the following Monday, at her aunt Jane Phillip's house in
Caer Drau, and we went together, the child in her arms,
to my mother's house, My wife placed the child on the
opposite side of the bed to where my mother's body was
lying. We then, together, dragged the corpse out, and
placed it under the bed. We continued to live in the
house during the rest of the week, sleqing five nights
in the bed under which the corpse lay. I was full of
anxiety all the week, and on Saturday I started off, the
day my mother's body was discovered, leaving my wife
in my mother's house. I was absent from Saturday until
the following Wednesday, when I was apprehended,
in the cat t-house at Duffryn, and wandering about.
I tell the best truth—the truth I should tell in
the presence of God, where I shall be next Satur-
day—to you now. My blow did not kill my another, for
she groaned afterwards. Her death was caused by their
meddling and scuffling with her on the ground, I know
not exactly in what manner. I mean Peggy, and her
mother and brother, were scuffling with her. Neither of
these three charged me at this time with having killed
my mother. This is all true as I shall answer to God.
" I know nothing of the death of any other human
being, male or female. If I did I should confess it now,
having gone so far. But lam guilty of every other sin
or crime, except theft or murder. And now I have no
more to say, having told the whole truth, and my heart
is already feeling light. I began to feel lighter yester-
day when I determined and promised you to confess
everything.

' FATAL ACCIDENT.--Yesterday afternoon an in-
quest, adjourned from Thursday last, was resumed before Mr.
Baker, at the University College Hospital, on the body of John
Steedman, aged 13 years. From the evidence it appeared that
the deceased was the son of a cabinet-maker, residing at No.
49, Seymour-street, Euston-square. On Tuesday week last a
gentleman gave him a horse to hold in Judd-street, Bruns-
wick-square, and he (deceased) was riding it quietly towards
the New-road, when seve, al boys collected around him, and
endeavoured to frighten him and the horse by shouting and
waving their caps. Deceased kept the same pace until one of
the boys, about seven years old, threw his cap at the horse's
head, and the others at the same time set up sueh a cry that the
animal started off at full gallop. Deceased clung to the saddle
for a few seconds, but the 116rse gallopped at such speed that at
the corner of Leigh-street the boy was thrown, and as he fell
his foot became entangled inlthe bridle, which he had suffered
to hang loosely by the side. f In that manner he was dragged
along about 15 yards, and when at length the bridle broke he
was found lying in a state of Insensibility in the road. He
was taken to the hospital, and.died there of an injury to the
skull on the following night. The Coroner adjourned the in-
quiry in order that some of the boys, if any of them were
above the age of seven years4aight be apprehended. When
the Jury met yesterday the boys were found to be too young to
be amenable to the law. The Coroner suggested, and the Jury
agreed to, a verdict to the effect that deceased died from a fall
from a horse, but how Or by whom it was set in motion there
was not sufficient evidence to show.

THE DANISH CLAIMS.

Mr. Hurr, last night, gave notice that he would, on
Friday next, bring the question of the Danish claims
before Parliament, with a view to the final settlement
of the amounts awarded to the several unfortunate
claimants. After the repeated decisions of the House
Of Commons in their favour, we cannot really
understand on what grounds the Government can
refuse payment Of claims so just and so well authen-
ticated before Commissioners appointed to in-
vestigate their merits—Commissioners, be it
remembered, specially authorised by the Treasury,
and who, after the most searching scrutiny,
reported that the claims had been duly established,
and they awarded the respective sums accordingly.
We sincerely trust that Sir ROBERT PEEL will judge
for himself in a matter which concerns the character
and even the privileges of the House of Commons,
by disdaining to move in the crooked paths 'of
SPRING RICE, and such persons, who mistook ob-
stinacy for justice, and thought, because they
had the power to do wrong, they would exercise
it, regardless of honour and common humanity. Sir
ROBERT PEEL has it in his power to repair the faults
of his pettifogging predecessors in office, and so
relieve a number of unfortunate persons whose claims
have been delayed under pretexts altogether unworthy
of men conducting the affairs of a great commercial
country.

The following is the notice given by Mr. HUTT,
which stands for Friday next :
"That an humble. address be presented to her Ma-
jesty, praying that her Majesty will be pleased to give
directions that there be laid before this House an estimate
of the amount of money which will be required to satisfy
the award made by the Commissioners to whom it was
referred to examine and adjudicate upon the claims of
certain British subjects, fair losses f. ustained by the con-
fiscation of their ships and cargoes by the Government
of Denmark, in the year 1807."

paper, however, with the words of the " Lebewohl" or farewell,
written in fair-writ german lines,was the least surprising

flowers, all elegantly bound together, were to be seen, lying
within the surface of the material. This was alluded to in the
translated words, which foimed part of the farewell :

not very numerous, but those who were here to-day
purchased more freely, and the spirits of most trades-
men were better. No great amount of business was
done, but every movement was an indication that trade
is on the eve of revival, and that prices will ad-
vance. Sir Robert Peel's budget, and the details of the
twill; have given an impetus-that cannot fail to relieve
the suffering- mercantile body. The demand was miL-
cellancous, or in assortments of heavy fine woollens, and
fancy goods of all descriptions. Business in the ware-
houses is decidedly better, and prices generally are im-
proving, and doubtless will improve, there being so much
room. Work, too, is becoming more and more plentiful,
and 4-hat is always a good symptom, many orders are in
hand.—Menchester Guardian.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

BOROUGH OF WEYMOUTH AND MALCOMBE
REGIS.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. TALBOT was about to cross-examine the witness, but
Mr. AUSTIN contended that, the opposite couns I had no right
,o do so. Mr. Talbot wanted not to examine him now, but at
a future stage. Considerable argument ensued, and the Com-
mittee ordered the room to be cleared to consider the point.
The decision was, that the Counsel for the sitting members
might cross-examine, but only resp,cting the custody of the
poll-books. Mr. Lithgow, therefore, was not recalled.
Mr. Tissard, the Town Clerk, was examined as to the
poll-books. He observed that some erasures had been made,
but did not say how.
Edward Falken Tissard, brother of the former, had had the
custody of the poll-books altogether for one hour and five
minutes, but he knew of no alteration.

The register of elections, the overseers' lists, and other
official d.)euments were put in.
Mr. AUSTIN now objected to the vote of John Bridle, No.
146 on the Register, poll No. 4. He would show that he had
voted out of one house, when, in fact, he was living in another,
and then, that be had no qualification. On this point the
Overseer and Stephen 'Parnell were examined, but the Corn-
mit.ee were occupied a long time with arguments for and
against the validity of the evidence to show that Bridle had
voted out of the house which he did not occupy. Bridle's vote
was eventually struck out.
John Farwell, No. 96 on the poll, was next objected to, and
abandoned, his vote falling under the preceding decision.
John Wicker was next objected to ; but the Speaker being
at prayers, the Committee adjourned.

THE INCOME TAX.

Mr. MILNER GIBSON said he belioved he had the
permission of the Right Hon. the First Lord of the
Treasury to repeat the question this evening which he
put yesterday. The question was this, whether it was
the intention of the Government to extend the Income
Tax to those pensions which were charged upon
_the
Consolidated Fund, under par qcular Acts of Parliament?
Sir R. PEEL apprehended that the measure which he
had proposed would extend to all annuities. or salaries
received by any of her Majesty's subjects ; and it there-
fore followed that any annuities chargeable upon the
Consolidated Fund would be subject to a reduction of
a per cent.

lIER MAJESTY AND THE INCOME TAX.
Sir It. PEEL then proceeded as follows I
may take This opportunity of making a communication to
the House, which I think the House -will receive with
great satisfaction. When upon the part of her Ma-
jesty's 'Government, I intimated to her Majesty, that
her servants thought that the financial necessity of the
country were such, that it was desirable for the public
interests to submit in a iime of peace the in•
come of the nation for a limited period to a charge
of 3 per cent., her Majesty, prompted by those
feelings of deep and affectionate interest which she
has ever shown in. the welfare of her people,
observed that, if the necessities of the country were
such that in time of Peace Parliament should deem it
necessary to submit the income of the country to a
charge of three per cent., it was HER VOLUNTARY DE-
TERMINATION THAT HER OWN INCOME SHOULD BE SUB-
JECT TO A SIMILAR REDUCTION.—(Loud and general
. • cheering.) -
Mr. RICARDO wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
whether it was 'his intention that terminable annuities
should also be subject td the charge ?
Sir R. PEEL said he wished the Hon. Genth man
would reserve his question till Friday, when the whole
subject would come under the consideration of the
House. It was very inconvenient to put questions of
detail, and require an answer from him without having
given him any previous notice with regard to them. lie
had no doubt as to the answer he should give to the
present question ; but he did not think it would be con-
venient that thb Government should at once declare its
intentions as to the particular items of the tariff, or of
the taxes which it meant to propose.
Mr. RICARDO gave notice that ho should repeat his
question on Friday.
CALEDONIAN CANAL.
Mr. ELLICE wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
a question relative to the Report of Sir 11. Parry on the
Caledonian Canal. He wished to know it' a Committee
would be appointed to examine that Report, as the holi-
days would commence so soon ; unless that Committee
was appointed in a few days, he was afraid its labours
would have no effect. The Right Hon. Baronet would no
doubt think this was a matter of minor importance,
