FRENCH PLAYS.-ST. JAMES'S.

This theatre opened last evening for the season,
under the able direction of Mr. Mitchell, to whom
the play-going public are under great obligations, for
having given them that which no other metropolis in
Europe is without—a regular French Theatre. We
well remember the sneer of incredulity with which
Mr. Mitchell's first announcement of these per-
formances, some four years since, was received. The
season, however, proved a successful one ; but still the
croakers were not silenced—the thing would not suc-
ceeed when the novelty wore off; but a second and
a third season followed, each more successful
than its predecessor, until now the French plays are
as completely naturalised among us as the Italian
Opera, and we look forward with;quite as much anti-
cipation of delight to the commencement of the
season of one of these delightful amusements as to
that of the other. We have already given an account
of the general arrangements for the ensuing season,
and we shall therefore proceed to the peformances of
last night. Mons. Lafont, of the Theatre des Varietes,
and Madlle. Nathalie, of the Theatre du Gymnase, made
their first appearance before an English audience last
evening. The pieces chosen for their debut were the
vaudeville of Le Mari a la Ville et la Femme a
la Campagne and the comedy of Pierre le Rouge.
In the first piece M. Lafont sustains the part of Lam-
berti, an artist, who, having left his wife in the coun-
try under the pretence of going a tour in search of
the picturesque, is enjoying himself as a bachelor in
Paris. His wife, who has heard that he has broken ;his
neck in Switzerland, comes to Paris to pass her
widowhood, and hears everywhere of Lamberti
as a man of a Loupes fortunes. She at length
gets a sight of the celebrated lady-killer, at once'
recognises him, and writes to him, appointing an
assignation. He has not seen her, but an assigna-
tion with Madame Jurigney (for that is the
name she assumes), who has set half Paris mad
with her beauty, is too delightful an appointment not
to be -kept, and accordingly Lamberti is true to his
time. He finds there not Madame but his friend
Emilie (M. Louis Dechampt), to whose sister he him-
self has been making love, and M. Daubonne (M.
Tourillon), an old beau, both of whom have received
similar notes from Madame Jurigney. At length
the tady appears, to the confusion of Lamberti, Ayho
recognises her at a glance. She, however, feigns
not to know him, 11 d carries on A flirts-

GENERAL ANNUITY SOCIETY, 36, Coleman-street,
for Allowing Annuities to Decayed Merchants, Bankers,
Professional Men, their Widows, and Clerks, and to
Single Females. the Daughters of Persons belonging to
such Classes.—Luke James Hansard, Esq., has, in a
communication full of good feeling, addressed to Mr. H.
F. Richardson, the secretary of this charity, munificently
presented 1001. The annual festival will be presided
Over by Lord John Russell on the 30th of April. The
stewards comprise names of the highest rank of commer-
cial and professional importance.
SAVINGS' BANKS.—Under the recent Act of Par-
liament applying to savings' banks, various amounts of
interest have been fixed ; and it is a curious fact that
small institutions are allowing a higher rate than larger
ones, whereas the larger ones (reaping of course a
greater profit) ought to allow the higher rate of inte-
rest. Probably those conducting larger banks are de-
sirous to produce as much " surplus" as possible, but
the Government has a surplus fund enough in hand
from savings' banks. Why, then, cramp depositors' in-
terest? The highest rate which can be allowed to them
now is 3 per cent., and that they ought to receive—not
a fraction less. The Government ought not to be bene-
fited at the expense of depositors.—From a Core espondent.

bled at the Bedford Arms Tavern, Clapham Rise, for the
purpose of investigating the respective deaths of Eliza
Daniels, aged 25, and her illegitimate offspring, a fine
full•grown female infant.
The above facts having been deposed to, Mr. Dodd,

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

An *ld woman, who keeps an apple-stall opposite
Drury-lane Theatre, was charged by a man in the dress
of a mechanic with attempting to pass base coin.
The prosecutor stated that he was purchasing some
apples of the prisoner on Saturday night, when he gave
her a sixpenny piece, and asked her for change. She
went to get change, and on her return she said that the
money was bad, and produced a sixpence, which was not
the same that he had given her. He immediately gave
her in charge to policeman F 104.
The prisoner said that the sixpence was the same that
she had received from prosecutor. She had no other silver
about her when searched.
Mr. JARDINE said that he would discharge the prisoner
if she would pay 6d. to Me prosecutor.
Prisoner said the prosecutor had already received a
pennyworth of apples.
Mr. JARDINE said that she must pay 5d., and on con-
dition that she did so he would discharge her.
Prisoner sent a message to her husband, who paid the
money, and she was set at liberty.

ARREST OF ZURBANO.

A Bayonne letter of the 22d inst., just received,
announces the arrest of Zurbano, in the neighbour-
hood of Logrono, on the 19th inst. The intelligence
was received by a French courier, who met at Bur-
gos the express conveying the tidings to Madrid.
Another account unfortunately confirms this news,
and adds, that he was shot without trial on the 20th.
The accounts of his arrival at Lisbon had therefore
probably been put forth in order to deceive his
pursuers. _

THE EARL or MORNINOTON.-Dr. Copeland and
Dr. Prout visited the Earl of Mornington early yes-
terday ; the reply riven to inquiries was, "
His
Lordship has not had a very good right, but is no
worse than he was yesterday." The calls of the No•
bility at the venerable Nobleman's residence in
Grosvenor-square were exceedingly numerous. Her
Majesty, Prince Albert, and other members of the
royal family, made Inquiries yesterday.

DETONPORT, SUNDAT..--Sir William Trelawny,
Bart., has issued his address to the electors of East
Cornwall, on the Liberal interest, in the place of Lord
Eliot. No Tory is yet named.
Tii NEW JUDGE.--It affords us great pleasure to
state, that the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Mr. Baron Gurney has been filled up by the appoint.
ment of Mr. Thomas Platt, Queen's Counsel. The zeal
and ability by which his professional career has been,
distinguished fully entitle him to the honourable promo-
tion he has received. It is peculiarly gratifying to us,
who took an early interest in his success, and who have
for a long series of years profited by his advice and as-
sistance, to be able to congratulate him sincerely on his
receiving the only reward that can compensate in any
degree for the laborious duties of the profession. We
wish others had been spared to experience the satisfac-
tion we now feel at his success. Mr. Shepherd, Queen's
Counsel, has been appointed Commissioner of Bank-
rupts, in the place of Sir C. F. Williams. Mr. Shepherd
was entitled to compensation exceeding 1,2001. per
annum as Clerk of the Custodies, upon the abolition of
that office in 1842, and this sum will therefore be saved
by the appointment. Mr. Shepherd is the son of the
late Mr. Samuel Shepherd, formerly Attorney-General,
and afterwards Chief Baron of Scotland.—Times.
THE PORTENDIC AFFAIR.—The award of the King
of Prussia in this matter gives to the claimant for com-
pensation, not 80,0001. or 100,0001., claimed, but 44,000 f.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
.(Sittings in Banco.)
BOLT V. THE QUEEN.
Mr. HILL moved for a rule, directed to the Marsha
of the Queen's Bench prison, directing him to discharge
a prisoner now in his custody. The case was that of a
person named Thomas Holt, who had been indicted for
a libel, convicted by the Court of Queen's Bench, and
adjudged to twelve months' imprisonment. The term
of his incarceration expired that day, but some time ago
he was indicted for another libel in the Central Criminal
Court of the Old Bailey, and judgment was there passed
on him, to commence from the expiration of the previous
sentence, thus totaly losing sight of the probability of
the former sentence being reversed by a court of error,
or of the prisoner being pardoned by the Crown. On
these and other grounds a writ of error was sued out,
and in IN hich judgment was recorded for the plaintiff,
as the opposing party did not come forward. The rule
or order he sought for was absolutely necessary, in order
to justify the Marshal in allowing the prisoner to go
ithout.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said the application was a
novel one, and he would consult one of his brother judges
as to the practice. Mr. Hill need not be again troubled
on the subject.
Mr. 'HILL said his Learned Friend Mr. White would
hear his Lordship's opinion in the Bourse of the day.
THE QUEEN r. THE TOWN-COUNCIL OF GODAL3IING.
Mr. RAWLINSON moved for a rule for a mandamus,
directed to:the Town-Council of Godalming, in the
county of Surrey, commanding them to proceed imme-
diately to the election of two Aldermen, in the room of
two who retired,:by rotation, on the 9th November last.
The affidavits of the town- clerk and one of the bur-
gesses verified the fact that no election had yet taken
place,--Bule granted.

LONDON, TUES'DAY, JANUARY 28, 1845,

A correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, who
seems to be )..,y no means passionately enamoured of
Conservat:epiin, observes, in the course of some re-
marks 'Aich he makes on the pretensions of this
overrated party, that it possesses at least the merit,
tinier the guidance of its chosen Minister, of having
Pia Aced the country in a more flourishing condition
than that in which it found it, and enabled the
people to make sure headway for some time to come.
Now Conservatism is by no means entitled to this
merit. Whatever benefit it may have been the means
of conferring on the country, has been conferred
most reluctantly; and only at the stern, authoritative
command of its inexorable taskmaster. Think of the
sulky, dogged resistance which many of its members
made to the passing of the Canada Corn Bill ; the
111-disguised reluctance with which they consented to
the slightest alterations in the Tariff; and the ludicrous
alarm and horror with which they heard Sir ROBERT
PEEL enunciate his well-known free-trade maxim—
namely, that it is good to buy in the cheapest and
sell in the dearest market! All that the country
hea gained of late years—that is to say, since the
secession of the present Ministry to office—has
been gained, not by Ct. nservative influence, but in
spite of it.—by the Premier, who well knows his
men, acting on their fears and their vigilant sense of
self-interest, whose eyes, unlike those of Argus, are
never closed. In the session which is now
close at hand, and which we foresee sill be
a tempestuous one, probing the sincerity of
Conservatism to the quick, this ill-assorted
party will ,be called on to play a far more
decided part than it has yet played, and will, as a ne-
cessary consequence, be involved in hot a few ludicrous

embarrassments and perplexities. Thus, while a vast

number of its members hold strong opinions on the
subject of Irish education, and the institution of a
mom liberal system, they will either be compelled to
give way to Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has given certain
pledges on these matters, which of course he will re-
deem ; or, if they turn restive, and refuse to be
dragged captive at his triumphant chariot-wheels,
they will be exposed to the cruel mortification of
seeing the hungry \Vh igs rush over from bleak

IR ELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY 12.--ONE OF THE SENTINELS AT THE
VICE- REGAL LODGE SHOT.—An alarming rumour was in
circulation yesterday that one of the sentinels at the Vice-regal
Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, was shot dead the previous night.
On proceeding to the park we ascertained the following par.
ticulars :—About one o'clock yesterday morning one of the
police on duty at the. Vice.regal Lodge heard the report of a
gun or pistol at a point within the wall of the Vice-regal garden,
known as •' The Bush," and on proceeding thither found the
sentinel, John Kelly, of the 44th Regiment, with his right hand
shattered as if by slugs or small bullets. He told the police.
man that he had heard some noise near his box, and on turning
out to challenge, the shot was fired which wounded his hand.
The report of the weapon soon brought other guards to the
spot, and the wounded man was removed to the Royal
Hospital, which is about a mile from the scene of this
extraordinary occurrence. The medical gentleman con-
nected with this institution at once decided upon am-
putating the hand, which was done, and the man is
going on favourably. It was suggested soon after the shot was
heard, that Kelly shot himself thus with the view of being
pensioned on; and rigid search was made about the ground,
but no weapon was found. He is ready to depose that he
was wounded as he stated to the policeman, but it is a remark-
able fact that several yards away from the box a pool of blood
was discovered and marks on the ground, as if by the discharge
from a pistol. The officers of the 44th believe that Kelly in-
duced some friend to inflict the wound, who immediately made
off when he accomplished his object. What possible motive
could any one have in shooting a sentinel placed where Kelly
was at the moment ? He says he had no quarrel with any one.
His musket was loaded whest the alarm was given, and it would
be impossible for any of the chain of sentinels around the lodge
to commit the act.

It is a remarkable fact, that about forty years ago, during
the Vice-royalty of the Duke of Richmond, a nearly similar
case occurred. A sentinel was shot in the hand, and his
story was believed, until Colonel Rawdon produced, from an
adjoining bush, a pistol which was seen with the man the pre-
vious evening.

As soon as Kelly is convalescent, wh!ch is expected to be
in a few days, a rigid investigation will take place. fie is a
young lad, only eighteen years of age, but recently enlisted,
and his father is a pensioner.
