HQME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 7.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDEnsox )
ATTACK ON GAMEKEEPERS.—Thomas Crush, aged 23,
and Thomas Bastock, aged 30, were indicted for having, with
other persons, some of them armed with guns and other offen-
sive weapons, unlawfully entered a wood, the property of
Lord Petre, at Montnessiag, for the purpose of destroying
game.
Mr. E. James conducted the prosecation, and Mr. Russell
defended the prisoner Crush.
It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for
the prosecution, and the evidence adduced, that a gentleman
named Lescher has the right of shooting over the wood in
question, and that he employs a keeper, named William
Green. On the night of the 23d of November, Green. and
some other men were out watching, and shortly before two
o'clock in the morning they heard the report of fire-arms
in a wood called Havering-grove, and after listening for
some time, the keeper and his assistants, accompanied by
a large and very fierce dog, which, it appeared, was a com-
plete terror to the poachers, proceeded in the direction
whence the report of the fire-arms appeared to proceed. On
coming to the wood they saw the prisoners and two other
men come out, and the moment they observed the keepers
the prisoner Crush pushed his companions on one side, and,
with a vulgar expression, said he would shoot Green, and
immediately levelled the gun and fired at him, but fortu-
nately without doing him any injury. He then made a
rush at another keeper, named Gilby, and made a blow at
him with the butt end of his gun, but he evaded it, and
Crush then ran away. While this was going on the dog had
been loosed, and seized Bastock, and held him until he was
secured. Ihe other prisoner was subsequently taken into
custody, and was identified as having formed one of the party
of poachers.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner
Crush was sentenced to be transported for ten years, and the
other to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour.
fonntrr TO MURDER.—DanieI Baker, aged 39, and
Charles Cricks, aged 26, wereindiebed ferfelonionaly assault
ing and wounding Sarah Sewell, with intent to murder her.
This case came on before Lerd Denman on Thursday after-
noon, and was not concluded until nearly ten o'clock at night.
The offence was of a very aggravated description. It appeared
that the prosecutrix is in the service of a gentleman named
Often, who resides at Great Burseed, and she had occasion to
appear at the quarter sessions at Chelmsford, as a witness
against a man named Martin Crick, a brother of the pri-
soner Charles, who was charged with robbing her master,
and the trial ended in his conviction. While she
was in waiting near the Shire Hall to be examined,

TIIEATRE.

wards went with Eliston, whose Fidus Achates he was for a
great number of years, to the Olympic, as manager, and con-
ducted the theatre during the period of Robert Williams's
engagement at Drury-lane; and on Mr. Elliston's assuming
the lesseeship of that theatre, in 1819, Russell was again his
confident and director for the first three years. Subsequently,
he took the Brighton Theatre, which he held for eight or
ten years ; and, at one time, was believed to be in somewhat
affluent circumstances. In the last two seasons before the
death of Morris, the Haymarket Theatre proprietor, Mr.
Russell was engaged as stage-manager, and his last profes-
sional effort as a director was in 1838-9, when Mr. Bunn
appointed him as stage-manager at Drury-lane. On the
retirement of his old colleague, Dowton, from the stage,
Russell played Jerry Sneak to Dowton's Major Sturgeon, at
the Italian Opera in 1840, and much interest was excited by
the appearance of the two theatrical patriarchs acting toge-
ther once more. His own farewell benefit took place at the
Haymarket in the season of 1842, on which occasion he ap-
peared as Jerry Sneak, and delivered an address. The pro-
ceeds of this benefit were lodged in the hands of a large dis-
counting firm, well known,•through whose insolvency, a short
time afterwards, Russell lost the whole amount. He was
not attached to the dramatic fund of Drury-lane, from a mis-
taken notion that he should never require its aid. As was
stated, he appeared in 1795, and in the school of comedy was
the oldest actor on the stage.

public in the ordinary course of proceeding until Tuesday
next, when the prisoner will be brought up for further ex-
amination, and most probably be finally committed.
With regard to the reports in circulation that there are
other persons suspected of having been accomplices of Hocker
in the foul transaction, there is not the slightest foundation
for them. The police are solely enileavouring to complete
the chain of evidence against him, and they have no suspi-
cion that he had any accomplice.

Mr. Frederick Lemaitre appeared last night in his greatest
character, that of Robert Macaire in L'Auberge des Adrets.
It is not, however, the first time that Lemaitre has appeared
'before an English audience in this character. Some seven or
eight years since, his Robert Macaire stamped him, in the mind
of the English public, as the greatest of actors. If anything,
time has improved him, and we never before saw him so
great as he was last evening. To personate,the character of
Robert Macaire, it is necessary to unite the extremes of gen-
tility and rascality. It would seem almost as if the author
bad tasked himself to illustrate that line of Shakspeare
which tells us " The Prince of Darkness is a gentleman."
He certainly has succeeded, a tnerveille. Never was there
a being so fiend-like, yet so polished. We believe that
Robert Macaire and George IV. were contemporaries. If so,
the latter has no title to be considered the first gentleman in
Europe. He must yield the palm to Robert Macaire, who
unites in his own person the two extremes of the social
scale. He is the most accomplished blackguard that ever
was imagined—the prince of cut-throats—the founder of the
swell-mob—Captain Macheath, Robert Macaire, Fra
Dia-
volo, alike ; but, oh, how different ! Circumstances made them
what they were. Had circumstances been different, the
first might have been a Wellington; the second a Talleyrand,
the third a Salvator Rosa. Macheath and Macaire may be
taken as the incarnation of the two great principles which
divide the world at the present day. Macheath is the repre-
sentative of physical, Macaire of moral, force. Robert
Macaire is the great diplomatist of the felonry of
the world. How easily does he ease his partner
in the dance of all her valuables while whispering
soft nonsense in her ear. How- completely does lie
keep Bertram as his slave by the indescribable squeak
of his snuff-box—and then his manner of taking snuff—how
superb—how magnificent—how commanding. True, he is
in rags, and the outward man bespeaks anything but wealth
and high station ; but he.ar him speak—see him take snuff—
observe the air rith, wipthhe gte*bia.orders.pd,wha,e,aa
doubt but that he is some rich and high-born aristocrat, who
has assumed the guise of a beggar out of eccentricity to enjoy
a joke. You would take him for any thing but the thing he
really is—a thief out of luck. How Talleyrand would have
adored him. He never commits a mistake—true, he com-
mits many crimes, but never a useless one. If success be the
test of genius, then is Robert Macaire the greatest
genius that ever lived—he always succeeds. The
distinguishing characteristic, however, of Robert Ma-
caire is the refinement of his manners—he is the most po-
lished of prigs—the very Chesterfield of conveyancers. No
doubt he was executed ; but we would venture a small wager
that when he ascended the scaffold, bowing to the execu-
tioner, he apologised to him in the most polite terms for the
trouble he was about to give him, and, neatly picking his
pocket, flung the proceeds of this his last " business transac-
tion" among the crowd, and having lived un mauvais sujet,
thus died with the reputation of un bon enfant. Never was
the magical power of the refined over the vulgar mind more
beautifully exemplified, than by Frederick Lemaitre as Ro-
bert Macaire. A vagabond in outward appearance in clothes
—not worth a sous—with a hat that the most abject
beggar would not have picked up in the street—uncombed,
unshaved, unwashed—he appears among a part of happy and
comparatively speaking, wealthy peasants, at an inn, and in
five minutes, by the mere force of manner, obtains an ascen-
dancy, and a supremacy over them, that all are ambitious of
his notice, and the prettiest girl in the party—the adored
of all adorers—thinks it an honour to be permitted to dance
with the fascinating stranger. It is not often that in a mo-
dern play we meet with a character; but Robert Macaire is
a character—and never was any character more ar-
tistically pourtrayed than is that of Robert Macaire
by Frederick Lemaitre.• In fact, we almost be-
lieve that the author of the piece himself was not
aware of the capabilities of the part until he saw them deve-
loped by Frederick Lemaitre. The author furnished the
sketch—the actor has filled in the picture. Lemaitre has, to
make use of a Gallicism, created the character, and never has
a more perfect creation been exhibited upon any stage.
Never, since the French company has performed here, has the
theatre been so crowded. It was literally a bumper, even
standing .room was at a premium, and never has any perform-
ance been more enthusiastically or more deserved applauded.

the prisoners abused her very much, and threatened
her. About two o'clock on the morning of the 10th of
January, which was about a week after the trial at Chelms-
ford, the prosecutrix, who slept in a back room, was awoke
by some one in the yard calling upon her to get up, and
when she went to the window to see what was wanted, a
voice called out that one of her master's horses were ill, and
that the farrier was coming to bleed it, and that she must
bring down a piece of string. She went up accordingly, and
went with a piece of string to the back door, which she
opened, and held out the string to the parties who were out-
side, and who turned out to be the prisoners. She was im-
mediately dragged into the yard, and a most brutal attack
was made upon her by the prisoners, who knocked her down,
one of them striking her with such force upon the stomach
that the blood rushed out of her mouth ; and, whilst she was
lying in an almost insensible state, they, with a pair of shears,
such as used for shearing sheep, cut her hair off close to the
head, inflicting, in so doing, a wound upon her neck. They
then attempted to drag her to a pond in a field close by, she
praying that if they intended to kill her they would do it on
the spot. The sound of some one approaching being heard,
they threw her down, and, with a brutal expression, said
she might die there and be Upon assistance arriving,
the poor girl was found in a dreadful state, and it appeared
from the surgeon's evidence, that for a considerable time it
was very doubtful whether she would recover the injuries and
fright she had received.
The defence attempted to be made for the prisoners was
that they were not the parties who had attacked the prose-
cutor, and some witnesses were called for that purpose, but
their evidence was very far from satisfactory.
The jury found the prisoners guilty of an aggravated
assault.
The prisoners were again arraigned this morning, upon a
charge of stealing foer fowls, the property of Mr. Min, and,
upon a verdict of guilty being returned, the Lord Chief
Justice, after commenting upon the atrocious character of
the offence of which they had been convicted on the previous
evening, sentenced the prisoner Baker, for the first offence,
to be kept to hard labour for three years, the last fourteen
days in the first and second years in solitary confinement;
and for the second offence, at the termination of the former
sentence, that he should be transported for seven years. The
other prisoner was sentenced to eighteen months' hard la-
bour, seven days in the first year, and at the expiration of
the sentence, to be passed in solitary confinement, and that
lie should then also be transported for semen years.
INcENDlmusst.—James Merchant, aged 20, and William
Youngs, aged 21, were indicted for feloniously firing a barn,
a cart-shed, and other buildings, the property of the execu-
tors of Edward Lugar, deceased.
This case occupied the Court a considerable time, but the
facts lie in a very small compass. The chief, and, indeed,
the only evidence against the prisoners consisting in decla-
rations alleged to have been made by them prior to and
after the fire. It appeared that the fire in question took
' place at a farm called Badley Hall, at Ardleigh, in this
county, above a year ago, and although at the time some
suspicion was entertained of the prisoners, no proceedings
were taken against them until recently, when some persons
came forward who swore that on the day of the tire the
prisoners were in company, and that they were heard to
say there should a fire at Badley Hall. After the fire had
happened another witness stated that he heard one of the
prisoners say to the other, that they had had a good
flare up, and that it would not be found out if they
" kept it dark." Some of the witnesses who deposed to
these facts were persons of very indifferent character ; but
altogether a very strong case was made out against the
prisoners.
The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
The prisoners were sentenced to be transported for fifteen
years.
There were two other indictments for arson against the
same prisoners, but they wora not proceeded with.

CLOSING OF TILE LYCEUM.
This theatre was filled to overflowing last night, with an
audience in high good humour, to witness the last perform-
ance during the present season, it being also for the benefit
of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley. Martin Chuzzleurit, condensed into
two acts, was chosen for the occasion, and Mr. Keeley as
Sairey Gamp, and Mrs. Keeley as the boy Bailey, were hailed
with great applause. Mr. Distin and his four sons (the
Sax-horn players) performed the celebrated quintette from
Robert le Diable, and were honoured with an encore. After
the farce of A Model of a Wife, Mrs. Keeley delivered very
effectively the following address :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—The last night of the season
having arrived, it devolves upon me, as directress of this
theatre, to address a few words to its patrons. The task is to
me most pleasing, not less from the bright retrospection of
past success, than the cheering anticipation of soon meeting
yeu again.
" Until last year there was a cloud hung so unfortnnately
over this house, that at last the werld looked upon the Ly-
ceum as Betsy Prig did upon Mrs. Harris—" They didn't
believe there was no such theatre.'
"By careful and fortunate management, however, the
establishment, from a fiction, has, I am proud to say, become
a ' great fact,' and in imitation of our larger neighbours, we
have held League meetings here nightly, which have ma-
terially assisted our Treasury. But ours was a league only
against dullness and blue devils; various were the forms in
which we assailed them, nor were we scrupulous as to the
allies we called to our assistance. First,we assailed them with
the Forty Thieves, but finding, after a series of attacks, that
even they relaxed in their vigour, we called upon the magic
aid of Aladdin's Lamp and Ring, and as fresh occasion called
for new assistance, we summoned from the prolific brains of
our unwearied authors Valentine and his Savage Brother.
With these we have occupied our dramatic field of battle,
flanked with twenty new pieces of various calibre, but all of
which went off with great effect. We have maintained our
ground victoriously.
" Gentlemen of the Pit,—You will be happy to hear that
the revenue exhibits a most cheering balance. I have, how-
ever, several new taxes to impose, but they are only upon
your kindness and constant attendance. I continue to receive
the most friendly assurances from the authors who have
already written for the Lyceum. On them will the pen and
ink'em tax fall moat heavily; but they will not object to it,
even if it extends beyond Three Years. They inform me
that the late Budget, in removing the duty from Staves,
will enable them to furnish me with Songs on the most ad-
vantageous terms.
" Gentlemen of the Gallery—l have directed estimates to
be made of various alterations connected with your part of
the house. The gallery will be far more commodious, and
better adapted both for seeing and hearing than the honour-
able benchers who fill it have hitherto found it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen,—Such improvements will be im-
mediately commenced in every part of the house as will, I
trust, tend materially to your future comfort. It will be
thoroughly cleaned and redecorated, and the introduction of
a new chandelier will render what has hitherto been a most
enlightened audience, still more so. Within an hour after your
quitting this house, scaffolds will be erected for the execution
(don't be alarmed)—the execution of my orders to that effect.
But I fear I am trespassing on your patience.
"On the part of my frequent partner, Mr. Keeley, and
myself, I beg to express most sincere tanks for your un-
ceasing patronage. You have been the means of shedding
happiness for twelve months over many, many families. Pray
be assured that your favour, so liberally extended to us in
public, has been sincerely felt and acknowledged in our own
homes."
This address was received with loud plaudits, and a shower
of bouquets were thrown upon the stage.
Mr. Keeley, as Mrs. Sairey Gamp, immediately afterwards
made the following announcement :
" Ladies and Gentlemen all—l don't know what that
blessed babby has been a sayin' of ; but I thought I heard
her speakin' the words of Betsy Prig, which, it's known, I
hates. What she's been a saying is unbeknown to that
blessed creetur, her husband—which, however, don't oppoge
it ; but, if anything's wrong, which I hopes will not be
the case, call me in. I shall be at home on Easter Monday
next."
The speaker threw a number of cards into the pit, which
bore the legend, " Mrs. Sairey Gamp, at Home, Easter
Monday, at seven." On that evening, a new comedy in
two acts, a new farce, and a new burlesque, will be brought
brwards to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Keeley's numerous visitors.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Oxford, March 7.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
LETTER STEALING BY A POST-MISTRESS.

Ann Gardner, who is a post-mistress at Enstone, in this
county, was charged with having opened two letters, and
stolen a third, containing two half-sovereigns, all of which
were committed to her care.
It appeared that several letters had never reached their
destination, after having been sent to the post-office at
Enstone. In consequence of numerous complaints upon this
subject having been made to the authorities at the General
Post-offiee, Mr. Ramsey, the superintendent of the missing
letter department, prepared what is technically called
" a trap letter," an invention which has been found of
great service in detecting the Post-office robberies, of
late but too frequent. This letter enclosed a sovereign,
which had been previously marked, and, after having
been sent through the suspected channel, was examined
by the proper authorities, when it was discovered that,
although the coin was still there, the seal (of red wax)
had been tampered with. A second letter, with another
direction, was then sent, containing two marked half-
sovereigns. This was also found to have been opened
and resealed, but still the money was untouched. A third
attempt was then made, which proved saccessful in detect-
ing the culprit. Two half-sovereigns, marked, were put into
a letter, directed " Thomas Hicks, to be left at the Chequers,
Bradford-lane, Exeter, England ; with speed." This was
put, as if by accident, into a bundle of letters for Enstone,
and it was the duty of the prisoner to have written on it
" inis-sent," and to have returned it to Oxford. No tidings
of the letter having been heard, Mr. Ramsey, accompanied
by Mr. Forrest, one of the clerks of the Post-office, went,
on the 6th of November last, from Oxford to Enstone, when
Mr. Ramsey informed the prisoner that he had come to show
her the two first letters, which had evidently been opened.
She denied all knowledge of the affair, and he then inquired
for the letter directed to " Thomas Hicks," which ought to
have been returned by her to Oxford. She declared that she
had never seen it, and told him he might search the house.
This he did, but not finding it, went out for a policeman,
leaving Mr. Forrest with the prisoner. While he was absent
Mr. Forrest heard her crumpling a piece of paper in her
pocket, and immediately afterwards she put something on the
fire, and laid a coal upon it. This he instantly snatched off,
when it proved to be a post-office envelope, which had been used
to inclose the two half-sovereigns in question, both of which
were still within it, and were identified by the marks before men-
tioned. No traces of the letter itself could, however, be found.
The policeman now coming in, the prisoner was given into
custody, and in the course of the subsequent search of the
house, a small pocket-knife with a flat-hooked blade was
discovered, having red sealing-wax adhering to the point on
each side. From its appearance, there could be no doubt
that the blade had been heated, and had, while in that state.

DEATH of MR. SAMUEL RUSSELL,
THE COMEDIAN, AND FATHER OF THE
STAGE.
This once celebrated actor, famous for his performance of
Jerry Sneak, in the Mayor of Garrett, expired on Wednes-
day, the 26th ult., at the house of his daughter, in Graves-
end, at the advanced age of 79 years, having been born in
1766. Mr. Russell's name as an actor, is associated with the
brightest period of the English drama, when John Kemble,
Charles Kemble, King, Lewis, Elliston, Fawcett, Dowton,
Munden, John Bannister, Emery, 11. Johnson, Mrs. Siddons,
Mrs. Jordan, Miss Duncan, Mrs. Bland, Madame Storace, and
Miss O'Neill shed the lustre of their talent nightly on the
boards of our royal theatres. The father of the late comedian
was himself an actor of great celebrity in the provinces, and,
as might be expected, initiated his son into the mysteries of
the stage, for, when only nine years of age, he was with
Miss Romanzini (afterwards Mrs. Bland), the great Eng-
lish ballad singer, performing at the Royal Circus, now the
Surrey Theatre. In 1787, he Save entertainments by him-
self in the City, by permission of the Lord Mayor, after
the style of Henderson, Lee Lewis, in a large room by
Basinghall- street. Russell s introduction to Drury-lane
Theatre had its origin in a mistake made by his late

jesty George IV., then Prince of Wales, who being at that

return to London, he menti.oned to King (then the stage-
manager at Drury) the gratification he had derived from the
performance of an actor named Samuel Russell, adding a
wish to see him on the London boards ; the same night an
offer was made to " Samuel Russell, Esq.," and addressed
" Theatre Royal Margate-" Samuel being the sponsorial
appellation of the son, he opened the epistle, his father
being absent from rehearsal, and the business proposed
suiting him, he agreed to act with the salary offered. He
took a hasty leave of his theatrical associates and sire, came
to London and made his bow on the boards of old Drury
the 21st of September, 1795, in the characters of Charles
Surface and Fribble (-Miss in Her Teens); the Prince came
to see his favourite, and was struck with surprise to find
that the son had been engaged instead of the father, and
though not so highly pleased with his performance of
Charles, was so delighted by his acting in Billy Fribble, that
he declared himself much gratified at having been the occa-
sion of introducing him to the metropolis. Of his Jerry
Sneak it is hardly necessary to speak ; the old play-goer
will remember that it steodlone—it was a faultless per-
formance, and defied competition ; it became his cognomen
ever after.
In 1812, he accompanied Elliston as stage-manager to the
Surrey, and was that gentleman's second in the bloodless
duel between him and Vincent Decamp, on Finchley-
. COMS2OP, on the 9th of September of that year. He after-

come in contact with the wax.
That part of the charge which related to the stealing the
letter having been abandoned by the Learned Counsel for
the Crown, the indictment for the larceny of the money was
proceeded upon.
The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
The prisoner Li 64 years of age, and has borne a good cha-
racter.—Sentence deferred.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—March 6.
Mr. Justice Wightman was engaged the whole day with
the trial of two cases against the sheriff. The question in
one case respected the property in certain goods which had
been seized under a writ. In the other the dispute was whe-
ther due diligence had been used in the endeavour to execute
it. The cases were of no public interest.

FUNERAL or Snt JOHN GURNEY.—The interment
of the remains of the late Sir John Gurney took place yester-
day. The funeral cortege assembled at the residence of the
deceased Judge, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, at two o'clock, and
consisted of a hearse and four, and five mourning coaches, the
latter of which contained the following gentlemen :—Russell
Gurney, Esq., §idney Gurney, Esq., the Rev. H. Gurney,
Joseph Gurney, Esq., and Thomas and Henry Gurney, Esqs.,
chief mourners ; the Rev. Mr. Tyler, the Rev. George Lea,
Thomas and William Hawes, Esqs. (relatives of the de-
ceased), Russell Scott, Esq., S. H. Fordham, Esq., &c. The
private carriages of the lion. Sir James Coleridge, Sir B.
Bosanquet, Sir John Patteson, H. Weymouth, Esq., J.
Hardy, Esq., M.P., Joseph Wilson, Esq., Martin Ware, Esq.,
tee., followed. On the arrival of the funeral precession at the
chapel of St. Giles-in-the-Fields' Cemetery, Old St. Pancras-
road, the Rev. Mr. Tyler, Recter of the parish of St. Giles,
performed the burial service of the Church, at the conclusion
of which the remains of the deceased were deposited in a
vault on the eastern aide of the cemetery, near to the mau-
soleum of Sir John Soane (in accordance with the desire of
the deceased). The inscription on the coffin simply says
" Sir John Gurney, Knt., aged 77, 1845."
Da. WATTS.—A statue is to be erected to the
memory of Dr. Watts, author of hymns, &c., in Abney Park
Cemetery. It will be eight feet in height, exclusive of the
pedestal, and will cost 3004
