NEW COURT.

James Hall pleaded guilty to an indictment chsrg.
ing him with robbing his employers, Messrs. Riley
and Co., of several carpets and hearth-rugs; and
Daniel Evans, charged with receiving the same,
well knowing them to be stolen, likewise pleaded
guilty ; but after a caution from Mr. Sergeant ARA-.
tusi that his plea would not operate in mitigation of
punishment, the prisoner retracted his plea of
guilty, and pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor stated that they had been subject
for a length of time to a regular system of plunder
by their servants ; he then deposed to facts con-
nected with the case that left no doubt of the pri-
soner's guilty knowledge, aad the Jury, without
hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Serg. ARABIN immediately ordered both pri-
soners to be brought up for judgment, and sentenced
them to be transported for fourteen years.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, who conducted the prosecution,
said the conduct of the prisoners was of that pro-
fligate nature, that Messrs. Rileys found it impos-
sible to recommend them to mercy.

Thomas Woods was indicted for embezzling the
sum of 3s. Gd., the monies of his employer, a Mr.
Palliser, a whip-manufacturer.

Mr. Palliser said the prisoner had, for a length
of time, filled n confidential situation in his employ,
but of late his co►;duct became rather suspicious;
he (Mr. Palliser) therefore got a friend to purchase
two whips, for which he paid 1/. 45., but the pti-
soner only accounted for 1/. Os. 6d.

Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up, and the Jury
found the prisoner Guilty.
He was again put to the bar, and. convicted on
another indictment, charging him with embezzling
the sum of 14s. under similar circumstances.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prisoner, asked if one
pound and sixpence was not a fair price for the
whips. Pray, said Mr. Phillips, what might they
coat.

Mr. Palliser—Why really-, whips bear so good a
profit that I do not wish it to gain publicity.
(Laughter.)

Ml 7. PHILLIP.---Should you at the sump the pri-
soner accounted for have got 50 per cent. Wit-
ness---I think that I should. . (Laughter.)

COVENT-GARDEN THE 4TRR.

A play with music was produced at this hoes* last
night, tinder the title of The ArymPh of the Grotto. It
is called in the bills an opera; but it has few pretensions
to this distinction, as the majority of the principal charac.
tars cannot, and du not pretend to sing. The prineipa/,
and indeed only, incident of this drama turns upon
Amadis (Miss Janiusx), the supposed ion of Baron
de Orguil, finally proving his daughter, a circumstance
which, strange as it may appear, occurred but a day or
two since in real life, and is mentioned in our Paper of
yesterday, in the Report of a Coroner's Inquest upon a
married man, who proved to be a woman. But to mama
—it appears that by the Baron's failing in heirs mile, the
family estates revert to the Crown, and the Baroness, to
prevent this, makes her daughter vow ever to conceal her
sex, which she does, even at the risk of losing her lever,
Hypolite. However, the Queen's commands, in the last
scene of the play, bring forth, the truth, and this young
lady is rewarded with the man of her bort. This may
fairly be said to be the sum total of the plot,-mixed up
with half a dozen songs, and three duets, &e, &c. We
should have thought that the advitnce of music as an an,
and the legitimate operas produced at the English Opera
House, would have prevented this piece from being pre-
sented to us as an OfILRA in a National Theatre, and the
reception of the songs, &c. last night, we should imagine,
must convince the management most powerfully of the, ad-
vance of music in this country ; fur, with the exception of
two songs (of Mr. LIVZILATI'S we should say), sang by
Mr. WOOD, which were really well written and well exe-
cuted, nothing could be worse than the remainder of the
music--trumpet, bugle, drum, and fife, from thebeginning
to the end of the chapter. A Mr. G. STA/MIMI" made
his first appearance as a second singer : he may be useful.
The play, we hear, is the production of Mr. DmoND.
As the dialogue is not sacrificed at all to musical illustra-
tion, which is generally the ease in opera, it might have
been much better. However, the abilities of the per-
formers brought it through, and it was loudly applauded
and announced for repetition, without one dissentient
voice. We suljuin the moat favourable specimen of the♦
poetry

Full dear I prize the hour
When moonlight tints the bow'r
With pale religious ray,
Just then, when convent-bells
Are ringing out fopd knells.
To soothe departed day—
When night's dark people wake,
Their mysteries to make
Around the glow-worm's lamp-.
When Philomela sings,
Aud fairy feet trace rings
On dewy meadows damp—
s then, by Fancy's aid,
Bright visions fill the shade,
And with my nymph I rave.
Her lips to mine are prest,
I clasp her heaving breast;
Haste, moonlight! haste, my !oval

CITY OF LONDON LITERARY AND SCIEN"
TIFIC INSTITUTION.—The Members of this Institution yes-
terday evening gave a Concert at their Theatre, iu Alders-
gate-street, for the benefit of the Fund for the Relief of the
Spanish and Italian Refugees. The principal singers were
Miss Grant and Miss Bellchambers, and Messrs. Phillips
and Begrer. Mr. Mori led the Band, and Mr. Forbes was
the Conductor. The Concert was. opened with Cheru-
bini's Overture to " Anacreon," which was executed in
reost excellent style, and was warmly applauded. The
Quartett, " Ciel it tnio labbra," by Miss Bellchambers,
Miss Grant, Mr. Begrez, and Mr. Phillips ; and the Ter-
tett, " Tremate Ernpi tremate," by the three lat;t of these
performers, were given with excellent taste and judgment,
and were most ably supported by the leading instrumental
performers. Mr. Phillips then sung the Ballad of " The
Maid of Llangollen," with the neatness and beauty of exe-
cution which are almost peculiar to him. He was loudly
encored, and repeated the air with, if possible, greater
effect than Wore. He afterwards gave the re.citr.tive and
air, " Angel of Life," in his best style, and displayed to
great advantage the excellence of his fine baritone voice,
sustaining himself with astonishing power on the last notes
of the air. Among tke instrumental performances of the
evening, a Duet on the Harp and Flute by Mr. Chatter-
ton, and Mr. Card, a Fantasia on the Violin by Mr..
Mori, and another on the Piano by Mr. Forbes, deierved
and received tl.e warmest plaudits. The company
assembled was numerous. though probably net so 'nu-
merous as the members of the Institution desired, when
they proposed by this means to give their assistance in the
furtherance of a most charitable object.

An arrangement has been made with a corps
of Italian singers, fot the production of a series of opera,

ENTHRONEMENT OF THE BISHOP
OF LONDON,
AT ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—(THIS DAY.)
This being the day appointed for the enthrone-
ment of his Grace Lord Charles Jatnes, Bishop of
London, all parties in the city were on the qui vive
to witness a ceremony, to which probably on no
former occasion has so much attention been drawn.
The more interest was evinced by the public to wit-
ness the enthronement of the Bishop of London,
from the rarity of such a proceeding, and from the
high respect and attachment shown by the citizens
of London to Dr. Blomfield, the new Bishop of
London.
It is now about fifteen years since a similar cere-
mony was gone through, the present Archbishop of
Canterbury having been enthroned in 1814, then
Bishop of London, but the enthronement was for
the most part private.
At an early hour this morning there were crowds
of persons assembled in the vicinity of St. Paul's,
desirous of gaining admission into the Cathedral—
but orders were given to di Vergers, that only a
limited Humber of persons havlug the entree, should
be permitted to enter the Cathedral until the pro-
cession had arrived, and taken their stations in the
church.

At about a quarter to eleven o'clock, the Lord
Mayor in his state carriage, accompanied by the
Sheriffs also in state, arrived at the western entrance,
End the great doorS were thrown open. His Lord-
ship and the Sheriffs proceeded into the vestry-
-4"11, and shortly before eleven o'clock went into
the church and took their seats.
The Bishop of London, previous to the cere-
mony in the Cathedral, proceeded from his residence
to the Chapter-house, St. Paul's Church-yard.
There his Grace was met, at about half-past ten
o'clock, by the Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of St.
Paul's, Dr. Lushington, the Chancellor of the Dio-
cese of London, the Registrars, and other officers,
the Clergy destined to form part of the ceremony,
4e- Here was read by the Registrar the mandate
from the Archdetsconry of Canterbury, appointing
the Bishop of London, by order of his Majesty, to
his office.
The Dean of St. Paul's then administered to the
13ishop of London the oaths of allegiance and an-
Premacy, and of residence, by which the Bishop of
Landon promises to defend the rights of the Church.
These constituted the preliminary duties previous
to the ceremony of enthronization.
At a short time before eleven o'clock, the Bishop
of London and two other Church Dignitaries, with
the officers, went in procession from the Chapter-
house to the western or grand entrance of St. Paul's
Cathedral in the following order :
The Apparitor of the Dean and Chapter
The Commissary of St. Paul's
The Registrars of the Dean and Chapter
The Junior Prebendaries, two and two
'The Elder Prebendaries, two and two
The Dean's Verger
The Bishop's Apparitor
Ills Eirace Lord Charles James, Bishop of London,
in his Epicopal robes
The Apparitor of the Chai,cellor of the Diocese
Dr. Lushington, tbe Cha.:eellor of the Diocese
The Registrars of the D;‘)cese
The Bishop of London's Secretary
The Advocates and Proctors.
After entering the Cathedral, the proceision passed
through the body of the church. At the choir it
was met by other member: of the cathedral, and the
procession went up to the Bishop's throne (the organ
Playing a grand " Voluntary,") thus :
Three Vergers
The Choral Boys, two and two
The Ahnoner or Master
The Vicars Choral, two and two
The Sub-Dean and the Minor Canons.
The procession made up in the order given above;
on arriving at the throne the Dean, Dr. Coplestone,
Bishop of Llandaff, placed the Bishop of London on
his throne, and the morning service then began.
The procession having taken their seats, the
Morning Service began. At the end of the first
Lesson Dr. Coplestone, the Dean, instals the
Bishop it; these w,l.ds :
" I, Dr. Coplestone, of the Cathedral Church of
St. Paul, do induct, instal, and enthrone you, the
Right Rev. Father in God Charles James, by
Divine permission, Bishop of London, into the
Bishopric and Episcopacy of London, and the Lord
Preserve thy going out and coming in from this time forth for evermore; and mayest thou remain in jus-
tice and sanctity, end adorn the place thou art dele-
gated to by God. God is powerful, and may he in-
ease your grace."
The Dean then conducted the Bishop from the
Throne to the Episcopal Stall in the middle of the
Ckoir, during which the organ played Te Deum.
After which the following suffrages were performed
b =the Dean, who read a prayer imploring strength
the Bishop, that he may uphold the Church,
and that he may instruct the Clergy and the people
in true religion.
This prayer concludes the ceremony of enthrone-
Tent, and the Morning Servic is then resumed.—
At its conclusion the procession returned in the
same order in which it came to the Chapter-house.
On their arrival at the Chapter-house, the proces-
sion adjourns into the audience room, where the
Bishop is placed in a chair at the head of the table.
, The Dean then acknowledges canonical obedience
these words :—" Right Reverend Father in God,
I acknowledge all canonical obedience to you as
Bishop of London."
The other Prelates and Members of the Church
acknowledged obedience in the same terms.
The Bishop of London—. I thank you for your
attmdance to-day; and I particularly thank the
Dean and Chapter for their attention. I am grati-
fied by the solemnity and devorum observed through-
ent the ceremony. I trust we shall have mutual in-
tercourse for the benefit of C.- Church."
The ceremony here concluded, i,nd congratulations
were paid to the Bishop of London.
The Lord Mayor returned to the Mansion-house.

Port Telegraph to the contrary, there is not any intention
of abolishing the system of building men-of-war with round
