COVENT-GA R DEN THEATRE.

We stated rt few nays ago, that it was the la.
tenthm of the Manager to open the Ito 'or the hi'.
speetion of his fi knits, iii, order to sheer the effect
of the new decorations which had taken place pre-
par.:tory to the commencement in 111, Seat,oll.--.
.exhibition took place last night, and was:
attended by several Ladies and G tolemen, who
were highly gratified by the coup- &ail. The
grated chandelier was lighted, as well ,s all the
test of the leiminemsappvnelages, a.:d the whole
presented a beautiful and splendid appearance.—
No alteration has been made in the structure of
the interior, which ramains as it was o;t the open-
ing of the season in 1813. The Rose, the Thistle,
and the Shamrock, were then introduced on the
Paunds of the boxes, aml the Theatre was made
such as it lately appeared, with the exception of
that magnificent addition which the last season
produced,—we mean the beautiful chandelier
which adorns the ceiling. The approbation uni-
versally besto,aed on the national decorations
which taste and liberality supplied, at the period
to which we have rettered, made -the Covent-
Garden House truly worthy of the great capital it
was erected to grace, and established its superio-
rity in splendor)
,as swell as its accommodation,
Lever all the Theatres of the Continent. On what
was then accomplished, Taste pronounced it al-
most impossible to improve; and nothing remained
for Managers to do, but to preserve it, such as
they had made it., in trawling splendor.
That which has now been done, restores it, with
some judicious exceptions, to what it was when it
opened for the season 1813-14. The national
emblems which meet the eye its every direction
have been newly burnished, and the light ground
un en hid) they before appeared has given way to
a rich sedition colour, which now pervades the
whole of the andience part of the Theatre. The
gas-lights, wleich surmounted the stage doors,
have been removed, and to prevent their loss
becoming{ a subject of regret, some additions have
been made to the central chandelier. A mild,
clear, powerful light is thus thrown upon the
stage, which makes the mos: initiate object con-
spicuouss but the dazzling elate, whieh.sometimes
offends the eye, and mars the illusion of the scene,
is not here experienced in the slightest degree.
Its soft and well distributed rays admirably har-
monise .with the sober tone of the prevailing
colour, and illustrates with exquisite effect the
glistening ornaments before described, as the mild
eye of beauty irradiates and gives hew value to the
gem that reposes on her tratapol bosom.
• 'file ceiling is entirely new, and corresponds in
colour with theother parts of the House, and the
projection from it to which the chandelier is'op-
peuded, has received additional embellishment.

Some new scenery was exhibited, and the few
personS admitted were gratified with several
changes, which called forth geoeral admiration.
Some Of them have hien so successfully refreshed
that they have't he appearance of being qt,ite new.
Among I hese a pietnrescene, taken from the British
Gallery a season or two ago, and one represent-
ing a splendid apartment, were particulatly dis-
tinguished. The lighting tip could not b:s. possi.
bility be more successful than it was, as connect-
ed with the exhibition of tlie6e.; Bliki indeed, upuit
the whole, nothing seemed wanting to the coin-
kit of the audience {though the boxes hare
rather less light than formerly), and the perfect
illumination of the stage.
The curtain of the last year is laid aside for
the present, and the drop scene used three years
ago, in which the most eminent dramatic poets of
all countries appear ranged on each side, With
SHARSPEARI in the centre, is to he used before
and after the play. Bet weep the Acts, the cur-
tain on which the heroes of lit itoin, and the na-
tional ensigns, are displayed, will descend. That
which is noN to he the representative of the
green curtain has been judiciously revisited by the
pencil, and looks as fresh as when first produced.
All the improvements introduced in the last
season with respect to airing aml ventilating the
[loose are preserved.; anti for beauty and con-
venience, this Theatre may proudly set every fo.
reign rival at defiance. .Even the Grand Opera of
Paris, which costs the Government 60,000 francs
annually, cannot compareeither with this or Drury-
Lane Theatre in beauty of design, or in the accom-
modationthey are capable of affording ; and the
British Public have now to ouast that altogether
they possess a splendid and convenient Theatre.

Miss KELLY, we are sorry to learn, and so will
the Public, has .been seized with the scarlet fever.
The new Farce of The Rendezvous, which
have been brought -forward this evening, is of
course deferred.

Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, who bad been some
time with his family in France, returned two cLiyi
since, in order to attend his dory at Covent
Garden Theatre, but has been suddenly taken ill
at Dover, where he now remains.

Mr. Fist; ER, who has -acquired considerable
fBtne on the, Norton: and Soffutit Circuits, is en-
gaged for the season at Drnry-Lane, where be per-
torn►ed fhtmlet and Richard last season very suc..
cesshilly.
_ _

We can confidently say that the new Juliet of
Drury-Lane Theatre is tmt Miss Alums, as re,
ported. tier figure, We understand, is good, anct
her face rather expressive than handsome.

PUNCTUATION.—The contract lately made for
lighting the town of Liverpool, darimg the ensu-
ing year, I%Htt been thrown void by the misplacing
of a comma in the advertisements, thus the
limps are at present about 4050. and have in ge-
neral two snouts CHch, composed of not less than
tweniy threads of cotton."—The contractor woul4
havo proceeded to tarnish each lamp with the
said twenty threads; but this being but half the•
usual quantity, the Commissioners discovered th,it
the difference Arose from the comma following
instead of pteccdinl,r the word each. The jeS
agreed to annul the contract, and a new one i$
trow ordered.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CRUELTY AND DESERTION OF A CHILD BY ITS

PARENTS.

iJNioN ALL.—Mr. anti Mrs. Atkinson were
charged with cruelty to their child, a male infant,
out six wvefts old, and with dropping it at the
donr of Mr. Clark, at Bermondsey.
Mrs. Jane, wife of Mr. George Stapleton, of 56,
Nara;wick -street, Blackfriars-road, deposed, that
170 three months ago the prisoners Caine to her
h(iase to lodge ; they gave their names as Atkin-
sari, and stated themselves to be man and wife,
bad that they had been married about fifteen
Ir:2baths. -On the morning of the 23d of July,
Mrs. Atkinson was delivered' of a male child.
Up to the time that she lay in, Mr. Atkinson,
solo now calls himself Thomas Stevens, came to
her horse every evening, and slept there; but
gcnrrally rose at two o'clock in the morning ; he
said he was in the Excise. The child was a very
fine child. About five days after it was born, she
observed Mr. Atkinson giving the child some red
liquid; he said it was to compose it, as- it was
very cross. The nurse was sent out at the time
to buy some meat.. After this the child tell away
and wasted. On Monday, the lith of August,
the child was sent to Sarah Lewis, of Lowdell's-
court, Great Guilford-street, to nurse, and was
brot.ght hack on Monday last, about 8 o'clock ;
it was much better. About one o'clock on Mon-
day night last, the father and mother, and child,
avert away from her house, and she had since
learned that they slept at No. 111, Park-street,
Grosvenor-square, where Mrs. A. went to wait
upou some young Ladies. The child never came
back to her house. Last Tuesday night, about
eleven o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson came to
her house in a great flurry. Mr„Atkinson was in
a fain• ing state ; at his request she. gave him sonic
brandy, and he went to bed. She asked where
the child was, and Mr. and Mrs. A. both an-
swered that they had taken it to its grandmother
to nurse. Next morning, when Mr. Atkinson
was out, she went into their apartment, and ob-
set ved all the child's linen on the bed. Mrs. At-
kinson threw her gown over the baby linen, as if
she intended to conceal it from her. Mrs. Atkin-
son appeared very uneasy, and on Thursday morn-
she acknowledged to her that she did not
know where her child was, but said her husband
did. Mrs. Atkinson said she was very uneasy,
aorl wished she could find a fortune-teller. She
'aving suspicion that the child Was made away
with, went with Mrs. A. to seek a fortune-teller,
in the hope of getting at the truth. They could
nut find one ; and on their way home, Mrs. At-
kinson said that her husband would take the linen
to the child that night. About eight o'clock that
evening, Mr. Atkinson came home, and shortly
after went out with Mrs. A. She desired her to
say, if any person asked for her,, that she had
left her lodgings. Site desired the servant to fol-
low and watch them ; they observed the servant
foil:ming them, and returned to her and abused
r, anal were so exasperated that she expected
they would have done her some bodily harm.—
S!,e told them that she would never leave them
tiil the child was produced.
.Mr. Atkinson went
st'A'ay on Thursday night at twelve o'clock ;'
Atkinson slept at her house all night. Yesterday
morning she went :to her bed-room, and told her
that she should keep the doors fast, nntil she con-
fessed to her the circumstance of the child's ab-
sence ; she said she would after breakfast. Alter
breakfast she went up stairs, Mrs. A. followed,
and, b:iying fastened the door, she said " that on
Tuesday night, about half-past nine o'clock, Mr.
Atkinson procured a rush-basket, put the child
into it, wrapped it up in a piece of new flannel,
and put in it four napkins, one calico sleeping
gown, and three caps." She asked Mrs. A. where
the child was left, and she replied, " I was at a
good distance from my husband ; but it was left
opposite the workhoitse door at Bermondsey."—
She farther said, " It was opposite the child's
grandtather's (Mr. Atkinson, whose real name is
Thomas Stevens, is son to Mr. Stevens, the mas-
ter of 13ermondsey workhouse) door," She had
seen the child that day at Bermondsey work-
house, and was sure it was the same that was
born in her house. The child was baptized in her
house by the minister of the parish, by the names
of Malcolm Atkinson, son of 'Thomas Atkinson
and Ann, his wife. She was one of the sponsors
as god-mother to the said child.
Maria, wife of Mr. R. Clarke, of Russell-
street, Bermondsey, stated, that on the night of
Tuesday, between nine and ten o'clock, she dis-
covered a rush-basket (then produced) fastened to
the front door by a string ; ,on searching it she
found the child site then held in her arms,, which
appeared about six weeks old. Her house is op-
posite the workhouse. The child was wrapped
in flannel ; there were four napkins and three
caps in the basket; she took the child to the
workhouse.
Sarah Lewis,
.of Lowdell's-court, Great Guil-
ford-street, deposed, that she nursed the child for
three weeks at Mrs. Atkinson's house; at the end
of the first week it took to sleeping, and wasted
daily : she took the child to her own house (Mrs.
Atkinson never suckled it), and kept it for a week;
it during that time recovered and improved sur-
pris;ngly. Mr. A. during the time called twice,
and expressed great surprise at the improvement
of the child. They received the child back on
Monday last., The child now produced is the
same, but its appearance is much worse.
Mr. B. Drew, solicitor and vestry clerk of the
parish of Bermondsey, said, that the parish were
determined to prosecute the prisoners, and he only
requested the Magistrate to call upon them to give
security to answer the charge at the Sessions.
The Magistrate said, that the offence against
the prisoners was one frequently cotninitted, bat
seldom discovered, and he thought it his duty to
do ell in his power to bring them to punishment,
as art example to others.
They were ordered to find bail or be committed.

.PIPORTANT TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF WAR

VILK-LANE.

GUILDEPtLL.-It is well known to those who
ppss through Wart-..ick-lane, that the nose is
habit-. to tile most odious offence in consequence
(if the slaughtering of beosts there, find that the
.nd sometimes the atttliomay. are in-

7 • .
4'ildated witb offal; blood, and filth; This nuis-
ance ►vatsbeen long a subject of private conversa-
tion, and was, until yesterday, confined to the
animadversions of individuals. The respectable
inhabitants who had the nerve to stand •to this
time the continuance of these " bloody scenes,"
having, however, found that the slaughter-houses
of Warwick-lane were contemplated, in a pecu-
liar manner, in NI r. Taylm's Bill, were deteru►in-
ed to avail themselves of the law ; and therefore
iostructed Mr. Henry Nixon, who is employed
under the Cotntt►issioners of Sewers, to remon-
strate with the carcass-butchers upon the subject,
and show them the necessity of compliance. No
attention having been paid to the frequent ad-
monitions of the officers, Mr. Nixon summoned
several of the carcass-butchers to attend, to an-
swer upon informations laid upon various clauses
of Mr. Taylor's Act.
Thomas SaddlPr, carcass-butcher, 12, NVar wick-
lane, attended (won the first information.
Mr. Aer.EY stated, that the subject was brought
forward merely upon ptiblie grounds, and that the
officer could have no reward whatever for the eel-
deuce he was to give. One conviction would
therefore answer the purpose, and the fine should
be the lowest possible.
The officer swore that several beasts were, on
the 1 lth of August, driven into Mr. Saddler's
slaughter-house, and that soon after he saw great
quantities of blood and filth flowing from that
place down Warwick-lane.
Upon the part of the defendant, it was sworn
by I►is foreman, that the blood was an article of
profit, and was always sold by the carcass-
butchers ; that the stuff flowing down the lane
consisted merely of the washing of the slaughter-
house, and that the offal was always turned into
a cesspool in the slaughter-house. The witness
denied that time washing of the slaughter-house
could be called filth, and declared that it was
merely stained water.
Mr. HARMen, upon the part of the defendant,
submitted that this deposition altered the case
materially, the Act having expressly mentioned
blood and filth," and there being a, great dif-
ference between those and what flowed down
Warwick-lane.

Mr. ALLEY saitl, the defence would not do. He
refused to cultic to any Compromise, for it was-
time that the stink should be put down.
Mr. Crowder, of Warwick-square, and Deputy
of the Ward of larringdon-within, confirmed the
account of the general effect of the nuisance. He
said that numbers of respectable prisons had been
compelled to leave the neighbourhood in conse.
quence of its violent influence upon their nerves,
and that many, in coining to his counting-house,
had slipped in the lane,- and been so bedaubed as
to render it difficult to do business with them.
Alderman Cox said, the nuisance was clearly
proved. Ile reconunended to the Corporation, as
an effectual mode of removing the nuisance, to
remove the market. He also advised the carcass-
butchers to apply to the Court of Sewers, it
being incumbent upon them, if the market was to
he continued, to make a drain for the slaughter-
bouses.—The defendant was fined 40s.
A MISTAKE ABOUT FORGED NOTES.

A poor Irishman, named Dorroughty, was
brought up on a charge of having passed a forged
note. The complainant did not attend. The
note was produced, and a person fron► the bank,
at the time in the Office, declared it was ge-
nuine. _ _ _

Both the Magistrate (Alderman Cox) and the
Solicitor of the flank were exceedingly indignant
at this false charge; and it was instantly deter-
mined that the prisoner should have the most
ample swtisfaction.
The Officer declared, that he had himself said,
upon taking the man into custody, that the note
was good. He would not have apprehended him
had not a false address been given by him to those
to whom he offered the note.

Upon searching the prisoner, the Officer found
another note upon him, which was also ge-
nuine.

Alderman Cox.—lt is well for the complainant
that be gave a take address, otherwise I certainly
should hate prosecuted him, if the money was to
come out of my own pocket.

DISGRACEFUL SCENR.—Yesterday morning a
young woman, apparently about 19, with an in-
fant in her arms, under a year old, both most re-
spectably dressed, was observed .in Westminster-
road, near Astley's Theatre, in a state of extreme
intoxication. Several persons who saw her, and
observed the danger in which the infant was front
the incapability of the mother to protect it, en-
deavoured to take it from her. This, however, she
resisted, abusing them for their interference, and
accusing them of wishing to steal her child. At
length site staggered against a house, and the
little innocent's head coming in contact with the
iron railing of the area, received sa deep a cut
that the blood flowed profusely. She still, how-
ever, resisted the efforts of those who surround-
ed her to take the infant from her. Mr. Brooks,
of Anglesea-house, Parliament-street, passing at
the time, was attracted to the spot by the crowd,
and observing the state of the woman and infant,
forcibly took it from her, and delivered it to the
care of a poor woman who keeps a fruit-stall near
the spot, with directions that it should be taken
to the workhouse. The mother he gave in
charge to a constable, till she should he in a state
to give some account of herself, and whence she
came from.

The new church of St. Andrew, at Calcutta,
was opened for Divine Service on the 7;111 of
March ; it is described as an elegant building.
At the same time an interesting ceremony took
place at the Cathedral, where no less than 350
young persons attendrd to be catechised previ-
ously to their being admitted to the right of con-
firmation.
Mr. DUNCAN APNAB, at Lochardside, Aber-
foyle, has now in his possession a sword about
four feet long, and a strong scabbard, which
were found about the beginning of last month
in a cave on the south side of the loch. They
appear to be a considerable antiquity, and are of
very curious workmanship. In -all likelihood
they have lain there since the year' 1745. This
cave was never buftue bend of by any of the
()Iciest inhabitants.

GLOUCESTER ASSIZES, SEPT. 2.

NISI PRIU S.

THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. THE INHABITANTS OF

BARTON-REGIS.--(SPECIAL JURY.)
Mr. DAUNCP.Y opened this case. It was an
action to recover upon the Act of Parliament 2001.
of the hundred, in consequence of a barn and
outhouse having been destroyed by a fire mali-
ciously raised, of which the perpetrator was not
discovered. The value was greater than the sum
allowed by the Act.
Mr. Charles Abbot occupies some premises at
Stapleton, the property of the Duke of Beaufort,
to whom he is also bailiff of his collieries. On
the morning of the 3d of May last, about I o'clock,
the barn and out-house, and all the mows, were on
fire. The fire-engines were brought from Bristol,
three miles off, but the fire could not be extin-
guished.till the premises were consumed. The
nearest dwelling-house was 300 yards from the
barn and out-house ; there is no public road nearer
than 200 yards. There was no thunder or light-
ning that night that he observed. The value of
the barn and out-house was about 3001. He caus-
ed notices to be served upon several persons whom
he named ; he went soon afterwards before a Ma-
gistrate and gave information.
Cross-examined.—His farm is King's-wood-
lodge ; he holds no lease ; lie pays 2001. a year ;
his premises were all insured, the stock at 10001.
the buildings at 800/. ; he received from the In-
surance Company the amount of the damage done
to these buildings, I SS/. ; these actions (there is
another entered in witness's name) were brought
by the Insurance Company ; to them he had tent
his name ; the Duke of Beaufort does know of
the action, and said it was a very proper thing ; the
nearest coal-pit at work then was 500 or 600 yards
of; he had ne,ver seen colliers going about there
with lighted torches ; lie had quarrelled with the
colliers; perhaps they disliked him as a new,
comer ; they did not like his management ; he
din not mean to say directly that it was done by
them. _ _

.........
Re-examined.—The fire raged in several places
at once ; the barn and all the mows were at once
in a blaze. . .

Henry Savary and Frederick Savary proved the
serving of notices on the 3d of May, which were
put in and read.
Charles Latcliam proved the information to the
Magistrate on the sth of May, which was put in
and read.

Ilesther James, who lived 200 yards from the
barn, saw a light shining through her window ;
she looked out and saw the barn on fire; she ran
and told Mr. Abbot's servants that the barn and
mow were on fire.; she met Mr; Abbot ; all went
to the barn ; they found the barn, the out-house,
and the mows on fire. She did not take five mi-
nutes, for she ran without her shoes on ; it wa3 a
mild fine night ; she was ironing, and the mo-
ment the blaze came against the window she
looked out. _ _

Mr. JERVIS now submitted that the plaintiff
must be nonsuited. The Act was 9 Geo. 1. ch.
22. In section 8, it was required that notice
should be given to some of the hundred by the
party, or by their servants, within two days; in
the declaration it was set forth, that notice had
been served upon three; they had preyed only
two. (His Lortfahip overruled the objection.)—
Then there was another objection, which would
be fatal ; the information was required expressly
to be from the party or his servant, and Mr.
Abbot was not a servant. (This too was over-
ruled.)
Mr. CAMP ELL then objected, that the plaintiff
sustained no tlamnification, since the Insurance
Company had paid the loss sustained.
Mr. Justice HoLanyo said, that he was aware
that the Insurance Company could not bring an
action, but the question was, whether any action
was ever maintained where an Insurance Company
had indemnified. He should take a note of the
objection.
Mr. JF,RVIS addressed the Jury. He contended
that there was not evidence of the felony suffi-
cient to satisfy an action so ungracious as this.—
Then, as to the damages, Mr. Abbot had received
1881. They would not, therefore, feel themselves
called upon to give damages beyond the injury,
although undoubtedly the landlord, as well as the
tenant, was entitled to bring an action for 2001.
James Green, a carpenter and builder, offered
to rebuild the premises, at- an _estimate of
(Here Mr. DAUNCEY ascertained that the witness
was one of the hundred, and said, the only ques-
tion was, whether bone decessit or liceat migrare.)
The witness was judged inadmissible. Hundred-
ers were admitted under the statute of Hue and
Cry, but, through mere admission, this case was
not included.
Mr. DAUNCBY begged to read a passage from
Serjeant Williams's book (a very grave authority)
which he thought would serve his friend's object
as to colliers carrying lights through the-place.
An action was, under the statute of Hue and Cry,
brought against the Hundred of Gravesend for a
robbery on Gadshill. Mr. Serjeant Harris was of
Counsel for the hundred, and contended that no
action could lie, as Gadshill had been the scene
of robberies and felonies time out of mind.
Mr. Justice HOLROYD summed up the evidence.
The feloniously setting fire to it was for them to
find or not, according to the evidence. As to the
amount of damages, the Duke of Beaufort was
entitled to 2001. if they were satisfied of the felo-
ny, notwithstanding that the premises were in-
sured. ‘Vhether the Insurance Company could
afterwards recover from the Duke, was a question
between those parties.
Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 1881.
Mr. JERVIS consented to have a verdict for the
plaintiff for 2001. in the next case, Abbot v. Inha-
bitants of Barton Regis. This was for the corn
burnt.

CROWN COURT.
A great number of prisoners, for various of-
fences, were tried and convicted. The Court con-
tinued sitting from 8 o'clock in the morning till
8 at night, when all the county prisoners were
tried; There remain only six city prisoners to be
tried, upon various charges of theft.
Henry Moreton, aged 20, was convicted of a
burglary, and sentenced to death ; Thomas King,
aged 22, was sentenced to death for stealing in a
dWcllinti-hciusQ abgvc the vtittio of 4,95, - Maid

James, aged 18, was condemned tQ death for !I
miler offence; John Stone, aged 28, was condettir

aged 28, was condemned to death for a sitst
offence; William Smith, aged 23, was condens%,;
to death for horse-stealing. No hope of !Ili"'
Lion was held out.
ATROCIOUS MONSTER.—The last trial of
1l;
day W 35 that of an atrocious monster, in 4
shape of a man, named Thomas Davies, and
24. There were three indictments against 111 d
for an assault on three girls, on the same dilY'g'
one aged three years, the other two, and the las
five. He was tiled only on two. In the first
stance he was convicted of a common assault/ 1.
the second of an assault with intent to comollc
,
a rape. The scene of this unparalleled atrocill
was the garden of the Cross Keys, Cheltenholn:
For the first offence he was sentenced to lrnPrid'
itsonment for 12 months ; for the second, for
months more. lie was, besides, ordered to c•
privately whipped on Saturday se'unight, and 4
(.
whipping was ordered to be a serious VlO
meat.
The enraged mother of one of the infants atste •
that she had been anxious to have hint tossed „111,10
blanket, or thrown into the horse-pond. 1.
ruffian had knocked her down. sfas
Mr. Baron GAtutow said, that her rage ;;
most natural, but it should not be so ill-direct;•
bad he been drowned in the horse-pond, sif
would be answerable for murder. She Sao' n°ol
that Courts of Justice could take cognizancesea •
such brutal conduct. None could have kanek
down a woman but the ruffian .who was caP"ho
of assaulting an infant. •.

PUGILISM EXTRAORMNARY.-Yesterday „

man in those respects greatly his infector. 'to

the gig, but to endanger the safety

The young Gentleman remonstrated with
his conduct, and was replied to by the most br,uio
abuse, accompanied with a stroke of the Ittf
He had soon, however, cause to repent of t,
ruffianly conduct, for, the Gentleman, disn3"ellll4
