HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean appeared last evening in the
tragedy of the Gamester. Mr. Kean played his part most
ably, but we do not hesitate to pronounce him more, effec-
tive in Hamlet and Macbeth. In two or three instances
last night we found his transitions too abrupt and sudden
to be within the use of nature, but on the whole it
was a most tremendous and heart-rending performance,
and drew forth much weeping and wailing. In some por-
tions he was fearfully real. When he falls in with his old
serving-man, Jarvis (Strickland) his entreaties to Stukeley to
find out one ray of hope to illumine his dreary path, and his
last interview with his wife, were most powerful and affect-
ing. Of Mrs. Kean—the sweet, gentle, unresisting Mrs.
Beverley—we can only say that she exceeded all her previous
efforts, with the exception, perhaps, of Cphelia. The noble
indignation with which she rejects Stokeley's vile proposals,
and her ejaculation, •' I don't believe it !" when he told her
that her husband had given her jewels to his mistress,
were perfect pieces of acting. Throughout the whole
p'ece, she sustained her wonderfully natural manner.
Both she and her husband were admirably supported Mr.
Stuart, as Stukeley. We shall expect. to see him one day at
the head of his profelsion, for in whatever he attempts he has
been invariably successful. The Pretty Girls of Stilbery ap-
pared on the stage after The Gamester.

SIR WILLIAM BURNETT'S PATENT fur
*the PRESERVATION OF TIMBER, CANVAS,
CORDAGE, COTTON, WOOLLEN, &c., from DRY ROT,
MILDEW, MOTH, and PREMATURE DECAY.
The Two Testimonials at foot, selected from an immense
number, will afford evidence of the efficacy of this Patent.
16, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square, Feb. 9,1842.
MY DEAR Sia,—ln reply to your question respecting the
effect of your solution upon the sails and awnings of the vessels
of the Niger Expedition, the canvas of which was steeped. in
it before they were made, I have much pleasure in being able
to state that they were most effectually preserved from mildew,
and this after as severe a trial as canvas could well undergo,
being alternately exposed. during several months, to heavy
rains and a burning sun, with the- thermometer sometimes at
93 deg., and generally much above 80 deg.
I am, my dear Sir,
Sir Wm. Burnett, K.C.H. H. TROTTER, R.N.
Ramsgate, Dec. 20, 1841.
beg to acquaint you that, agreeably to your request,
I have examined the sails on board the Gull steam light vessel,
the which were prepared with Sir William Burnett's Patent So-
lution, and were put on board in September, 1840, since which
time they have been kept on the deck, and exposed to the
weather ; notwithstanding which, they are still in as good a
condition as when first put on board ; they aro free from mil-
dew, and have no appearance of any decay whatever. Unpre•
pared sails under similar circumstances would have been in a
decayed state, and rendered quite unserviceable.
I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) R. DAVIS.
Jacob Herbert, Esq., Secretary, Trinity Board.
It is cheap and simple in its application. Timber, Deals,
&c., &c., Canvas, Sails, and Ropes will he prepared at the
Company's Station at Limehouse, at a small expense ; or the
preparation may be purchased for use, under license or other-
wise, at a rate that will give persons, who are disposed to enter
into it as a branch of trade, ample profits. Application to be

FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT,

SEVENTEEN LIVES

LOST,

AND ELGIIT

SEVERELY INJURED.
Manchester. Saturday Night.

This melancholy accident took place in the exiensiCe cos
mines of Messrs. Swyne and Lees, known by the name o
" Flowery Fields," situate in the township of Newton, Lanea-
suire, a small village, about six miles from Manchester.
It appears that about eleven o'clock on Friday mornin; the
men in the mine, and the banksmen at the first entrance to the
mine, were thrown into the greatest state of alarm by hearing
a rumbling noise, accompanied by a tremendous shock, which
was quickly followed by an explosion and an emission of ignited
inflammable air. The alarm spread, but no assistance could be
afforded the unfortunate sufferers. It was known that there
were 26 persona in that part of the mine where the explosion
took place. In this state of suspense things remained for
several bones. Meantime Alr, Potter anu Mr. F. Tinker,
two surgeons in the neighbourhood, arrived to render
medical aid. After the lapse of some hours the
medical gentlemen deemed it safe to proceed in search of the
missing sufferers, and both of them in company of a number of
miners and the underlookere descended the shaft, and after a
protracted and dangerous search, they succeeded in finding
eineht of the missing colliers, inn, unfortunately. all qu'te dead,
some of thew having been suffocated, and others much bruised
and burned. Shortly afterwards Covell more were :ound near

and in about an hour afterwards the remaining ton were dis-
eovered. One of them, a person named John Bowker, was in
the la.t agonies of death, and the others in a pitiable state of
exhaustion, especially an elderly man named Grimshavr. Th.'
su -germs succeeded in saving the lives of eight out of ten.
John liowker died sonn after he was found, and Grimshaw was
•o far spent that all efforts to preserve his life proved fruitless.
It was nearly four o'clock this (Saturday) morning before all
the killed and injured were got out of the mine.

MORE SOOTHING FROM THE

FARMERS' FRIENDS.

We would call the attention of our agrieultural readers to
the fallowing letters from the Duke of Richmond and Captain
Gordon, M.P., to Alexander Gordon, Esq., Cocklarachy,
President of the Strathbogie Farmer Club, in answer to those
sent them by the club, and enclosing petitions to Parliament
against the importation of cattle at the proposed scale of duties :
MY DEAR SIR,-1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 31st of March, I called yesterday on Lord
Ripon, and read to him the copy of the petition from the
Strathbogie Farmer Club. I entirely concur with those who
are of opinion that: the prdposed tariff should be so
changed as not to risk the prosperity of the agricultural inte-
rest. I have had much communication with the Board of
Trade, and have pointed out those parts which are most oh-
jectionable in my opinion.
Believe me to be, my dear Sir, yours sincerely,
(Signed) '
Alexander Gordon, Esq., of Cocklarachy.
Admiralty, April 5,
,1842.
DEAR SIR,--I have received your letter with the petition
from the Strathbogie Farmer Club, and several other petitions
from different parishes against the importation of cattle and
meat without adequate protecting duties, all of which I yester-
day presented to the House of Commons. The question is
one of considerable importance, and although I do not appre-
hend the same ruinous effects from the proposed change, I
shall not fail to give the subject my most attentive and anxious
consideration. And believe me, very truly, yours, '

two gentlemen of about the.same size as the Hon. Member. t
They had attempted to get out together ; of course they could
not succeed ; and he proposed that they should toss up for
choice.—(A laugh.) Had he known that the door of that
coach would have been locked, he certainly never would have

Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN denied that ho had been in-
duced to propose this clause in consequence of the accident on
the Versailles Railway. Public attention had been drawn to
the subject long before that accident had occurred. He felt it
necessary to say this to vindicate himself from the charge of
having proposed this measure hastily and without sufficient
grounds.

POOR-LAWS.

that it be limited to three years.
Lord COURTENAY obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to explain the Acts now in force relating to pawn-
brokering in Ireland.
Mr. FERRAND rose to put a question to the
Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home
Department. On a former evening the Right Hon.
Baronet read an extract from the Report of Mr.
Mott, the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, in which
four Magistrates of the county of York were accused
of squandering the money of their parishes for the
sake of popularity, and of being talked of as friends
of the poor. He (Mr. Ferrand) as one of the
guardians of the Keightley Union, which was
alluded to, assured the House that he knew
nothing of such conduct ; and he had written to
one of the Magistrates who were attacked, and he
received from him an assurance that there was no
foundation whatever for the accusation. Now, what
he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet was, whe-
ther there would be any objection to lay the Report
of Mr. Mott upon the table of the House.
Sir J. GRAHAM had no objection to the Report
being laid upon the table of the House, if the Hon.
Gentleman would move for the return ; and he sup-
posed that if the Hon. Gentleman, or his friends,
wished to consult the document, they would find no
difficulty in obtaining a copy at the office of the
Commissioners.

Mr. FERRAND then moved for a return of the
Report of. Mr. Mott, which was ordered.

IRISH TITHES.

Mr. SHAW said, a considerable sum of money,
amounting, he believed, to about 25,000/., had been
collected and paid into the office of the Paymaster
of the Civil Service in Ireland, on account of sums
of money due to the Irish clergy from the Irish
landlords, but that no part of that amount so paid in
had been received by the Irish clergy. He believed
that an arrangement had been made, by which a part
of the amount was to be paid immediately, and the
rest at a future time k and he wished to asii, whether
this arrangement would be carried into effect ?
Lord ELIOT said he had already answered a ques-
tion on the subject put by the Right lion. and
Learned Member, and he .could not do more than say
that such an arrangement having been made, it
would be carried into effect with the least plkible
delay.

ABSENCE FROM VESSELS.

Captain BERKELEY wished also to know from
the Gallant Admiral whether there were any orders
issued by the present Commander-in-Chief in the
Mediterranean, preventing the officers at Malta from
going on shore in consequence of the state of dis-
cipline in which the crews were—the officers having
been complimented in the highest possible degree.
Sir G. COCKBURN said, that the order to which
the Hon. and Gallant Officer alluded, related to in-
discriminate absence from vessels, and he was not
aware that any complaints had been made on the sub-
ject from the Malta station.

GOLD COIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—Your Correspondent " Numisinaticus," in your
Journal of the 13th inst., suggests the expediency of the
gold coin being struck after the manner of the copper
penny pieces of 1797, having a raised border with the
letter indented, and not prominent. This suggestion
originated with Pinkerton, and may be found in the
second volume, page 148, second edition, London 1789,
of his essay on medals and coins. The following is an
ex tract :

" The whole Olin of coinage is yet susceptible of real
and most important improvements. A far higher relief
might be given to the impression, so as to rival the
ancients in this grand criterion of good coin ; and this
relief might with ease be protected by a circle of equal
height around the rim of the piece. This circle would
not only serve to preserve the coin, but might, in the
whole coinage bear a legend upon the edge ; an opera-
tion so simple as to appear upon the tin halfpence and
farthings, when they were in use. This. circular legend,
now used only upon the crown and half-crown, ought to
adorn and protect every coin, from the five-guinea piece
down to, the farthing ; for iere cannot be so easy and
so effectual a guard against. forgery, (it is preferable to
indent and not to raise the letters on the edge, because
in the latter plan they are soon defaced). The letters
aught t( be placed within the circle, and that on the
edge might extend over the m hole surface, so as nothing
could be taken from the coin without appearance. The
copper coinage of 1717, and gold coinage of 1728, are
something in the general style of this proposal, but not
of sufficient relief; and without the circular legends
Such as they are, however, these coinages ought to be
recommended, as of the very best form which has ever
yet appeared in modern times."
Pinkerton concludes his suggestion,as to improvement
of the coi_. in the following quaint manner :—" But any.
effectual improvement of our coinage must be left till
God help us ; together with the more important improve-
ments of the police of London, of our waste lands, and
of Parliamentary representation."

Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

There is rioting worthy of remark in the Paris papers of
Thursday ; they are filled with electoral intelligence, and lead-
ing articles, calculated to awaken the attention of the country
to the forthcoming struggle.
We are informed, by a letter from Tunis, June 1, that a few
days previously M. de la Porte, a gentleman connected with
the French Consulate at that place, was attacked whilst riding
on horseback, by two fanatical Moors, who'seized his horse by
the bridle, and had raised their swords to strike him, when the
remainder of his party came up, on which the Moors fled and
sought refuge in the Sidi-Monsour, the most sacred asylum of
Tunis. A complaint of this outrage having been made to the
Bey, he immediately had the offenders dragged from their
place of refuge, and sentenced them to the galleys and basti-
nado ; but, upon the intercession of the insulted party, remitted
a portion of the corporal punishment.
A letter from Alexandria, in the Augsburg Gazette, states
that the Egyptian troops have been so long without pay that
ti ose who are married are unable to obtain bread for their
families.
A letter from Athens of the 30th ult., says—Mr. Broke's
Yacht, the Flirt, is in the Gulph of Lepanto. Sir Edmund
Lyons is gone on a cruize with Mr. Moore in his yacht, among
the Greek islands. Lady Lyons left on the 27th instant for
Wurtzburg, in Bavaria, where she will spend the summer with
her daughter, the Baionees. The weather here is cooler than
it usually is at this season, but the extreme heats will no doubt
soon set in.
The Commerce Beige of Tuesday, says—" We have just
been informed that in a Cabinet Council, at w hich the King
presided, the punishment of death pronounced against Vander-
smisren, Vatidormeere, Van Laethem, and Val praet, has been
commuted to that of hard labour for life ; which, however,
nclades public exposure on the pillory.

MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
At Bolton, a reduction of ten per cent., and in some cases of
more,,has been made by the mabters, and the operatives, under
the pressure of the times, have been compelled to submit to it.
