THE CIVIL LIST.—Sir Robert Shaw has published a
letter explanatory of the circumstances under which he
receives 8001. a-year from the civil list. His father, he
says, purchased the grant, and he receives it merely in the
capacity of his father's executor. Now, as the civil list i
the property of the public, it would be well to ascertain
what are the claims for the continuance of this pension. If
(as an Irish contemporary supposes, for the sake of argu •
meat), Sir Robert Shaw's father gave seven yca.s' pur-
chase (a very high rate) for this annuity—that is, a sum of
5,6001.—f0r this outlay or advance it is admitted that the
Shaw family have been 30 years receiving a sum of MUM
annually, which amounts to 24,0001. It is, II:e;(1,1( ,
pretty plain (says the authority before alluded to) that the
purchaser and his executors made a good hit by this pur-
chase ; and it is equally clear the public, so far from
any thing to Sir Robert Shaw, have a right to claim from
him a large sum.
MADAME MALI 11 a A N.—A French paper, speaking of
Madame Malibran's appearance at the Theatre Italie'',
says, " The indisposition of this young and admirable
artiste has much augmented the feebleness of her body ;
but it has, at the same time, increased the passion and
energy of her soul. Madame Malibran displays in all its
splendour the double nature of her voice. Hardly do you
admire the fulness of her sounds, than you hear her
boldly strike those shrill notes for which she is so cele-
brated, which she afterwards excels by arresting them iu
their flight, and by guiding and controlling them when it is
believed that she has lost them. But in dramatic talent, the
power of expression—it is there, perhaps, that her unique
talent is the most extraordinary. Madame Pasta had sci-
ence and passion ; Madame Pisaroni had energy and soul ;
but Madame Malibran combines ingenuity with science, in-
nocence with passion, modesty with magnanimity, the
touching qualities of a virgin with the power and energy of
a wife. In short, her performance is beyond all comparison."
Ma. O'CONNELL.—The popularity of Mr. O'Connell
subjects him to a species of public martyrdom whenever be
appears in our streets. The instant his " goodly form" is
recognised, he is surrounded by crowds of cheering people.
Men, women, and children throng about him, and beaten
their cheers and blessings in fervent, though sometimes some-
what familiar phrase. All this is rather inconvenient, though
gratifying, and seems to be felt so occasionally by its
honoured object. Yesterday he visited the Register-office,
followed by bis usual attendants, and proceeded, after con-
siderable delay, to the Commercial Buildings, where
the quiet news-readers were " frightened from their pro-
priety by the enthusiastic greeting of the multitude who fol-
lowed him. A number of gentlemenexpected' his arrival at
the Parliamentary Office, but the people continued to accu-
mulate so rapidly about him, that he was obliged to forego
his purposed visit, and proceed to his own house in Mer-
rion-square, where an immense crowd followed him.—
Morning Register.
TH E NEW PoLics.—Last niFht the superintendents and
inspectors of the respective divisions of the metropolitan po-
lice force received instructions from the Commissioners to
inform the serjeants and privates in their divisions that they
must provide lodgings for themselves, as it is the intention of
the Police Commissioners to abolish all section-houses, on

account of the immense expense of rent.
The inhabitants of the extensive parish of Wimslow, in
this county, held a meeting last week, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Par-
liament agaiqpt the present system of tithes. A series of
strong resolutions were passed, and petitions founded upon
them unanimously agreed to—Cheste► Courant.
A destructive fire took place at Sandford, near Crediton.
on Wednesday last, on premises &longing to J. Quick, Esq,
of Newton-bores, and in the occupation of Mr. Partridg►ce,
which it, entirely destroyed, together with the out-buildings.
A report was immediately spread in Exeter that it was the
work of an incendiary, but we are happy to state that it arose
i entirely from an accidental cause.—Western Luminary.
