HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A new one act farce from the practised pen of Mr.
Bayle Bernard was produced with decided success at
this theatre last evening. Although its title is
Locomotion, it has no machinery either me-
chanical or supernatural;; but it is, propelled by
the " push along, keep moving" attempts to get
business of Mr. I loss (Mr. W. Farren), an auctioneer
and house agent, " adapted to the age," who, by
continuing for some months keeping himself and
his people hard at work, doing nothing, at length
gets the reputation of doing a great deal, and
the reality, as a matter of course, speedily follows.
Next door to his warerooms, reside Mr. Leicester
(Vining) and his lady (Miss Charles) a newly-mar-
ried couple, who, having quarreled, determine to
separate, and Floss is applied to by the husband to
sell the furniture. This he undertakes to do, and at the
same time let-, the husband a chateau in France, and
the wife a cottage in Devonshire. Vernon (Brindal),
a cousin of Mrs. Leicester, interferes to bring about
a reconciliation, which is effected at length by the in-
strumentality of Floss, the "generalagenin of the piece.
It ii a lively, pleasant trifle. The character of Floss,
which is evidently a sketch from life, was most
artistically acted by Farrell. His advertisement
writing was the ne plus ultra of elaborate puff.
Ile was excellently supported by Mr. Clark, as Dot,
the auctioneer's clerk, and bv Vining and Miss Charles
as Mr. and Mrs. Leicester. V The piece is well got up.
The auction scene is, especially, admirably managed.
At the conclusion, Farren announced it for re-
petition every evening until further notice,
amidst the unanimous applause of the house. Loco-
motion was preceded by Douglas Jerrold's drama of
the Housekeeper, and followed by Webster's
admirable drama of Peter and Paul, which
increases nightly in 'attraction. This is one
of those sterling dramas that will more than survive
the season. It will doubtless become a stock piece,
and deservedly so, as it is the best domestic drama
that has been produced for years. The house was
well filled.

lIIHE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
JIL CATALOGUE. with ENGRAVINGS ( Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not aficct it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from whicla it can only he told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

INCOME-TAX ASSESSORS.
TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

August 17, 1842.
reside in the parish of St. Mary Newiar
ton, and this day, the 17th of August, the Income'
tax assessor left the blank forms at my house to be
filled up by me, and returned to him within twenty
dates of the day on which they are dated by him. On
turning to the date, judge of my astonishment a
t
finding them dated the Ist of August; so that
through the gross neglect, or something worse,
of this official, I have only three days in
which to make my return, instead-of twenty, a 5
allowed by law. Persons neglecting to make their
returns within twenty days are liable to a 20/.
penalty and treble assessment. Can it be pos"
sible that orders have been given to the un-
derlings to delay the delivery of these papers,
in order to entrap the unwary; or is it that.

PRESTON.

The, town is this doming, and was yesterday, in
nearly its usual state. All the mills were, at work
yesterday, and have begun this morning, with the
exception of Mr. Ainsworth's, whose hands are still
out. One of the rioters died on Sunday evening, at
the House of Recovery, and another died last night
at his own house. Two others are not expected to
recover. About 150 of the Rifle Brigade are sta-
tioned at various places in the town, and the yeomanry
are also there.

BURSLEM,

MONDAY MORNING.— The whole district is involved
in a-state of general confusion. Meetings were held
this morning, which were numerously attended, and
at which nothing was admitted but the People's
Charter:. All the pits are stopped, and the " turn-
outs" have compelled both potters, carpenters, brick-
layers, and other artificers to abstain from won't, and
join in their revolutionary proceedings. A very
general opinion prevails that in the course of the day
the mob will be reinforced by.several thousand ram
from the neighbourhood of Manchester.
It -was expected that in the course of the day a party
of men from Leek or Congleton, would march to the
district, and, being reinforced by the turn-outs at
Hanley, would proceed to Burslem. This informa-
tion has naturally excited some consternation in the
neighbourhood. ✓Special constables are at this very
moment being sworn in, and the troops are quite pre-
pared for a resolute and determined encounter, if the
state of things should render it necessary. Groups of
beggars are still perambulating the district, and, not,
content with soliciting charity, they have the audacity
to fix the amount of contribution which they expect
to receive from their benefactors. The several OMIIIbUS
drivers were assured this morning by the men that
when they returned the whole of the Potteries would
be found in a blaze.

IN RE LOUIS MARIE DELPLANQUFG

The insolvent was a dancing master, and was opposed by a
hotel-keeper at Richmond. His petition had already been heard
in Court about three weeks ago, when the particulars were reported
in The Sun.

On that occasion the further hearing was postponed to this day,
to produce certain documents, and for the attendance of a material
witness. This person being unable to attend through illness, the
case was adjourned to the Ist of April.

IN THE NATTER OF CHARLES THOMPSON.

The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Hughes, on behalf of Messrs.
Heber and Son, for a debt contracted in 1833.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said the opposition could not be
supported, as the debt w•as debarred by the statute of limitation.
No other creditors appearing in opposition, the insolvent was
discharged.

'ke Cabinet to adopt this just and humane measure.

There is no political news in the Paris papers. M. DE
LAMARTINE, the poet, has been named President of the
Railway Committee. This has given rise to some jokes
in the political circles of the French Metropolis. They
are, however, very silly. The greatest poets have ever
been, and will ever be, men of the greatest common
sense. A true poet has the largest capacity for business.

The Duke de Ledis arrived at Paris yeterday. He left Vienna
on the 9th. The health of the Duke of Bordeaux is perfectly re.
stored, and the most complete cure is certain. The most minute
precautions had been taken for his journey from Vienna to Goritz,
for which place he set out on the 15th of this month. His Royal
Highness will stop three or four days at Gratz, and arrive at Go-
ritz on the 26th or 27th.—Gazette de France.

The Monitcur Parisicu has the following article :
" The Superior Council of Commerce has met today, Mr. Cun'n
Gridaine presided.

" This Council will he to attend especially to the sugar question.
" It seems that the ideas of the Government arc a little mull.
fled. At the beginning it was proposed to subject beet-root sugar
and that of the sugar cane to an equal duty, indenthi_
fying the beet-root sugar manufacturers for the injury
which this sudden transition ought to have on their inters: t.
At present it is contemplated to decree the absolute prohibition of
the manufacture of indigenous sugar; and the indemnity which,
in the fist plans, it appears to have been the intention to fix at
forty millions of francs, will be rather larger in the new plan.
It appears from an essay on the remounting of the ca.
valry, published by General Oudinot, that in the space of
eighteen years, from 1823 to 1840, France has im.
ported 343,000 horses, and in the same period has exported
only 72,000, so that we have imported on an average about 18,000
horses in a year. This state of thii.gs, and the difficulties which
have recently arisen on the occasion of the importation of German
horses into France, has suggested to General Oudinot a series of
highly interesting observations.— Conslitutionnel.
The price of corn is very high in Poland. This rise is attri:
buted to the bad harvest last year in the provinces bordering on
Russia. The price of wool, on the other hand, has fallen consider.
ably, to the great vexation of the landowners.

IN RE JAMES EDWARDS.

Mr. Cooatz opposed the discharge of the insolvent, who was de-
scribed as a farmer and hop.planter at Lewisham. He was sup.
ported by Mr. Humus.

The Learned Counsel said the grounds upon which his opposi.
Lion was founded were, that in the month of August last the insol-
vent received a sum of money out of the Court of Chancery, not one
farthing of which went to his creditors; and that his wife was entitled
to property under the will of her father, of which there was no account
in his schedule. There were also two creditors left out, and a total
omission of debts amounting to upwards of 300/. He (Mr, Cooke)
contended that, under those circumstances, the insolvent could not
be heard until he Sled a new schedule, and gave all his creditors
fresh notice.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he should dismiss the order for
hearing, and as it was evident the insolvent's conduct had been
fraudulent, he should refuse to enlarge his bail until the next day of
hearing.

PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES.

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from
the ministers of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, pray-
ing not only for an Act to render valid those Presbyterian
marriages which had already taken place, but also that
the Presbyterian ministers might have the right con-
ferred upon them of solemnizing marriages for the future.
With reference to what had passed on that subject last
evening, he felt that it was necessary to explain what he
had then stated. He had since understood that a Bill on
the subject had been introduced into the other House of
Parliament last evening, and he had been told that it
was likely that the Bill in question would be brought
introducing that
the next week.

ture to hope that the Bill would be brought up
so early as the Noble and Learned Lord had antici-
pated ; for he had understoodnow that until a cer-
tain most important measure,before that House,
should have been disposed of, no other measure of import-
ance would be discussed. He had hoped that the mea-
sure would have been first introduced into their Lord-
ships' House. He would not venture to give an opinion
upon the legal point, but he thought there could be no
difference of opinion as to the necessity for passing
some measure for the relief of those who had been be-
trayed into an awkward and disagreeable situation,
through conceiving that to be the law which for many
years had been universally considered as such. A re-
gard for the property and domestic happiness of a large
number of families in Ireland 'demanded this act of jus-
tice at their Lordships' hands.
Lord CAMPBELL wished to ask the Noble Lord on
the Woolsack, if the Bill would be declaratory simply, or
an Act, as the difference was most important to the par-
ties interested.
The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to state,
that the Bill was a declaratory one, and had been deli-
berately drawn up by his direction, and when intro-
duced to the House it would be found
to correspond
with the very letter of' the petitions. The Bill had
been submitted to the law officers of the Crown, and ap-
proved of by them, and he trusted, that when it came
up to that House,. he should be prepared to justify its
form. He believed that it was a measure upon which
there would be no difference of opinion.
Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition upon
the subject, trusted that the Bill would not only be
found to be a declaratory Bill, but that great care
would be taken with respect to future marriages as well
as those past.
The LORD CHANCELLOR--I said it was not a
declaratory Bill, but an enactment.—(Several Noble

LAW AND POLICE.

Peggy Jones, who has for some days been amusing the Magis-
trates and police of the Marylebone Court with a wonderful tale of
distress, and of having her hands and feet tied by a wicked seducer,
who afterwards bundled her into a cab, turns out an egregious
liar and impostor. Sir Watkin Wynn and Sir Benjamin Hall
attended at the office on Thursday, and after due inquiry they and
the Magistrate, Mr. Long, came to the conclusion that the whole
story was untrue from beginning to end.

By the late Lord Sydenham's will, which has been received from
the Court of Probate in Canada, and lodged in Doctors'.commons,
his Lordship has left the whole of his property to his brother, Mr.
Poulett Scrope, with various legacies, among which is 1,0041. to
his nephew, Mr. William Baring, and 500/. to Lord John Russell,
as a remembrance of his friendship. The personal property in this
country is sworn to under 25,000/.

BOROUGH OF IVIARYLEBONE

NEW AND IMPORTANT MOVEMENT AGAINST TILE CORN•
I,A ws.—Wednesday one of the most crowded preliminary meet-
ings that has ever been held on the subject of the Corn-laws
within the borough of Marylebone, took place at the Mecha-
nics' Institution, Circus-street, New-road. There were present
members of all the Marylebone Branch Anti-Corn-law Asso-
ciations, and members of the Chartist Associations.

Mr. POTTER was called unanimously to the chair at eight
o'clock, and opened the business of the evening by stating
that the meeting was held to make arrangements for a great
public meeting of the inhabitants, of all political parties, in
the borough, to express their vit ws on the Government Corn and
Provision-law measure; and also to express their entire want
of confidence in the Government itself. It appeared that a
broad basis of political co-operation had been arranged pre-
viously between the Marylebone Anti-Corn-law advocates and
the members of the Chartist Associations. This basis was
stated to be sufficiently bread to erect a tower of strength
upon, and several speakers enlarged, during the evening, on
the advantages of union, and the best feeling prevailed. It
was stated that Marylebone had, on former occasions, set an
example to the whole kingdom, and that she was now about
to act in her former great character. A printed
circular from the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Associa-
tion, urging on all its members and Committees
to exert thmselves to the utmost in instructing the
people in the mischief of the present Corn-laws was
read and approved. The opinion of the people on the Go-
vernment measure was advecated as desirable to be attained,
anti Mr. Macconnell urged, that to this end it would be desir-
able that every Member, on presenting a petition against the
Corn-laws, should stand en his right of requiring the clerk to
read the prayer of every such petition at length.
It was then unanimously resolved, " That a Public Meeting
on the broad basis aforesaid, and for the aforesaid object, be
called on Monday next, at the Workhouse-yard, at 12 o'clock,
by board-men and bills ; and that both the borough Members
be invited to attend the said meeting." Mr. Hume has been
invited to preside; and a large farmer from Ohio, in the
United States, will also be present.
This preliminary meeting, which was conducted in the best
possible spirit, did not disperse until a very late hour.
