THEATRE, BATH.

The house has been better attended during the latter
portion of Miss FooTea engagement than it was during
the eat lier part, notwithstanding the extreme unfavour-
ableness of the weather. On Thursday was presented,
for the that time here, a new opera, entitled the Nymph
of the Grotto—the production, as we believe, of our
townsman DIAMOND. We are not prepared or disposed
to say much in its favour; indeed, had the sense of
the house been taken on the night of its perform-
ance; its claim to a, favourable reception would have
been thrown out by a very great majority. Miss FOOTE,
as 444tadis, did her hest to make a dun heavy part as
pleasing as possible; but she evidently laboured under the
impression, that her own great talents were unequal to the
task ; and we thought, in one or two instances, she re-
signed the character to the fate it.merited. The other per-
formers exerted themselves far beyond the merits of the
parts assigned to them.—The lively farce of A Rowland
for an Oliver followed, in which Miss FOOTE delighted
the house by her exquisite personation of Maria Dar-
lington. Mr. AY LIFFE, as Fixture, was the very beau

GAME LAWS.

Upon the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE this
Bill was read a first, and ordered to be read a second
time on the sth of May, fur which day their Lord-
ships were summoned.
The Noble Lord also moved for a return of all
persons tried at the Lent Assizes for 1529, under
the Act for preventing persons going armed at night.
—Ordered.

Upon the motion of Lord ROSSLYN the Scotch
Seisin Bill was read a second time, and ordered to
be committed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR left the House at five
minutes-past Five, and returned again at twenty-five
minutes before Six.

Lord FARNHAM presented a petition from the
Protestants of Longford, praying their Lordships to
grant no further concessions to the Roman Ca-
tholics.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, smiling, ob-
served he did not know that any fwrther concessions
were to be granted to them.

LORD LIEUTENANTCY OF IRELAND.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA gave notice, that
he should take an early day, after their Lordships
met again, of giving some explanation to the House
of his conduct while in the Administration of the
Government of Ireland. The Noble Marquis
thought it necessary that this explanation should be
given from various circumstances, and particularly from
the inferences that had been drawn, on more occa-
sions than one, respecting it in their Lordships'
House. That explanation should be solely and
purely political. He wished to lay his conduct fairly
and fully before their Lordships, and having done so,
he would leave it in the hands of the House to act
with respect to it as their Lordships should think it
merited.

no thought can tell but myselft, but I never wove huse by

My Dear Jhon, —are you goin to serve me so after you

the love that I have got for you is unnone. I could not

such a woman as that, for my sake. it true I have got
no money.

I hope I does remane your affectionate love,

HATTON-GARDEN.

It will be recollected that a young woman, named Sarah
Staff, was brought to this office on Tuesday last, charged
with attempting to destroy herself by an effort to throw
herself into the New River. Upon that occasion, the
young woman told the Magistrate that the cause of her at-
tempting to mike away with herself, arose from the state
Of mind in which she was, owing to her having been se-
duced from her home in the latter part of last week, by the
son of a respectable anner is Norfolk, and being left by
him unprotected in a house of ill-fame in some part of
London. The young woman added, that she was sorry
for what she had attempted, r.nd that she was sure her
cousin, a Mrs. Simpson, who resided at Highgate, would
take care of her until her father should be informed of her
situation.

Limbrick, the officer, was, in consequence of this part
of her statement, desired by the Magistrate, who was very
much interested in her behalf, to accompany her to High_
gate, and see how far her story was correct, and ascertain
if Mrs. Simps:m was inclined to keep her until her father
should be written to. The officer attended to his instruc-
tions, and succeeded in making Mrs. Simpson out, but
found that she was not inclined to make any addition to her
family by the admission of the young woman under her
roof; and this arose as much from her poverty, she being
only a poor brick-maker's wife, as from the character of
the young woman, who was stated to be no better than she
should be ; and that, instead of being only a few days in
town, she had been not only in it, but on it, for the last
six or eight months.
Limbrick reported what he heard to the Magistrate,
and the young woman acknowledged that what had been
told to Limbrick was true. She also admitted that
it was not the young man to whom she alluded in her
examination that was the means of seducing her from home.
The MAGISTRATE said that she acted very improperly
in telling the sort of tale she did. He then ordered her
to be taken to Clarkenwell workhouse, where she now
remains, until she shall be passed home to her father.

to nearly the centre of the river, the stream and t
flowing rapidly, and a strong wind blowing agaid
it, a heavy surf arose. This the skiff, which taw,,
pewit-l Ely of the passengers was heavily laden 07
iron work, was unable to resist, and, upsetting, V
cipitated the entire crew, sine in number, into
water. Baptist. and Wickam at once got deo
away. Jones, who was a good swimmer,,also effi
deavoured to swim towards shore, but GraY
al
Lloyd clung to him, and they sunk together. Rug
sell was heard to exclaim, " Don't ding to eIJ
other, or we shall nil be drowned I" He then crie!
for help, but before it arrived he sunk. Llewello
swam a short distance towards the Alalante, cAIIiDB
for help, but he suddenly sunk as if cramped. „,
The accident occurring in sight of several yeas",
they, with a praiseworthy humanity, lowered the"
bmits, and hastened to the assistance of the sdreret6.
Their exertions, however, we regret, to say, °will
to tl:e heaviness of the swell, and the unfortunat
men being encumbered with their heavy
working
clothes, were but partially successful, two only being
saved. The preservation of one of these, Wickal
is principally to be attributed to the gallantry of
Spaniard, who perceiving that his strength vvas
rapidly failing, us to render it likely that he could nu'
keep afloat until the boat reached him, leaped over
. board, and rescued him from a watery grave.
Tbroughout the day, boats with drags were tlf
vrrsing the river, but up to four o'clock only onea
the bodies, that of Gray, was recovered. ~,,
adds to the distressing catastrophe is, as WC
been informed, that all the unfortunate menhir
left wives and families to deplore their loss.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.)

The LORD ADVOCATE brought in a Bill
for the better punishment of attempts to murder in
certain cases in Scotland. The Bill was read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on the
4th of May.

Mr. SUGDEN brought in a Bill for consolidat-
ing the laws relative to the property of infants, luna-
tics, idiots, &c. The Bill was read a first time,
and ordered to be read a second time on the 28th
of April.

Mr. LENNARD gave notice of a motion for
Thursday, May 21, for leave to bring in a Bill to
repeal the third and fourth clauses of the 10th of
Geo. H., c. 28, the former of which clauses pre-
hibits the acting or representing of any new play
or entertainment of the stage, or of any addition to
an old play, unless a copy thereof shall have been
sent fourteen days previously to the Lord Chamber-
lain of his Majesty's household; the latter autho-
rises the Lord Chamberlain to prohibit, whenever
he thinks fit, the acting of any play or stage
entertainment.

AIR. PEEL'S NEW BILL FOR REGULATING THE
POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS.

Mr. Secretary PEEL said he was desirous, now
that the attention of the House and the public was
no longer directed to a subject which had so long
excited the warmest feeling and most anxious solici-
tude of all classes of his Majesty's subjects, both
Catholic and Protestant, of leading the House to
the consideration of a topic of considerable interest
as respected the preservation of the rights of pro-
perty, as well as the protection of the persons of
His Majesty's subjects. He would now, therefore,
draw their attention to the state of the criminal
jurisprudence of this country, and that of the ex-
isting police established for the prevention of crime
as well as its detection. It ►would be in the recol-
lection of the House that different committees of
the House had been appointed to investigate this
subject as early as the year 1770, and again in
1793. Committees also were appointed in 1812,
1818, 1822, and lastly in 1828. These different
committees had been the result of alarm at some
remarkable or unprecedented outrage at the time;
or the effect, perhaps of a general conviction that
crimes and offences against the peace of society
were so far on the increase, as to require an increased
and corresponding vigour on the part of our police,
with the view to protect the public and prescribe
more effectual remedies for its preservation. But,
unfortunately, those committees, however their re-
ports might be creditable to the labours and inves-
tigation of the individuals who composed them,
produced no effect in improving the law materially ;
and the subject was lost sight of almost as soon as
the cause of the recent alarm had subsided. No
effectual measure, therefore, was recommended by
the committees, or adopted at the suggestion of
individuals in Parliament. Whoever had read the

TROTTING MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.

On Monday afternoon, a grand trotting match took
place for 100 sovereigns, between Mr. BONNER'S Gla-
morgansl-Cre pony, and Mr. PERRY'S celebrated Flintshire
pony, which has woo every match. The ponies were to
trot in harness, and the ground chosen for the occasion
was, from the one mile-stone on the Mile End-road, to
trot ten miles out on the Romford-road. The celebrity of
these little animals was such, that great interest was ex-
cited in the sporting world, and caused a number of spec-
tators to assemble. Mr. PERRY'S Flintshire pony was
the favorite at starting, and betting was five to four in his
favour. At three o'clock the ponies started, Mr. BONNER
took the lead for the first eight miles, when his pony broke
into a gallop, and Mr. PERRY passed him, and kept the
lead for the remainder of the road, winning the match by
about 35 yards. The ten miles were performed in 38
minutes and 30 seconds. The ponies are oaly 12i hands
high, and can be backed against any two ponies of their
height in England. It is expected there will be another
match between the above, as the backers of the Glamor-
ganshire pony are not satisfied, he having been unwell on
the previous day.

SEVERE ASSAULT UPON A PARISH CHILD.

A paper-stainer, named Price, was tried upon an
indictment charging him with having most cruelly
beaten a poor, little, helpless parish boy, named
Lewis, who worked for him.

The Master of the workhouse said that the boy
was dreadfully beaten. His arm was four days in a
sling, and his jacket could not be got on on account
of the swelling. There were severe bruises on his
head, hip, and posteriors.
The RECORDER—Prisoner, have you any thing to
say to this witness ? Price (to the witness)—l
should be obliged to you very much to be as easy as
possible with me, for it was all nothing but an acci-
dent that I beat the boy.—(A laugh.)
The schoolmaster of the workhouse saw the boy
the morning after he was beaten. The skin.was
knocked off his head, and the bruise on his arm was
as big as an eg►g. He was elsewhere sadly injured.
Witness asked Price why he beat the child so dread-
fully ? " Why. because I was drunk I whopped
him," replied the prisoner. " And why," mid the
witness. " did you try to thrust the brush into his
mouth ?" " Well, and suppose I did," replied he,
" the boy isn't dead yet, is he ?"
The prisoner—All I have to say to that is, that
it's false. 1 never said no such a thing.
The mother of the boy said, that her child was
brought home by another boy after he had been
beaten. He was in so dreadful a condition that she
thought he had been run over.
The prisoner put in a written defence, in which
he called for the mercy of the Court.
The Jury instantly found him Guilty.
The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned
four months in the Compter.

MA RLBOROU G 11-STREET.

A lady of elegant appearance, about forty years of
age, residing in Portland-street, was charged with
shoplifting. The shopman to Mr. Sibley. silk-mer-
cer, of 126, Regent-street, stated that the prisoner
came to his employer's shop on Monday evening,
and having examined some cambric handkerchiefs,
threw them aside, and they fell on the floor. She
then examined some stay-laces, which were exhi-
bited in the window, and purchased one of them,
and also one of the handkerchiefs. Before she
quitted the shop, he noticed that she appeared agi-
tated, which excited his suspicions. He afterwards
saw her pick up the handkerchiefs which had fallen
down, and draw them under her cloak in a very sus-
picious manner. She then requested him to cut off
several patterns of silks, and hurried out of the shop,
leaving behind her a small parcel, which he gave
her upon reaching the street. On returning to the
shop, he missed two of the handkerchiefs. She was
then followed by another person, who observed her
drop her purse and one of the handkerchiefs. She
was then conducted back to the stop, and imme-
diately after the other handkerchief was found under
her sear. The purse which the defendant had
dropped in the street contained 21. 145.; the parcel
consisted of seven yards of lilac crape, a lace collar,
and a pair of ladies shoes. All these articles, ex-
cepting the shoes, purported to have been purchased
at Goldney's, in Regent-street. The defendant de-
clared that she took the handkerchiefs by accident,
and had no intention to steal them.

Some most respectable gentlemen who were in
the office offered to become her bail, and no objec-
tion having been raised by the prosecutor, they were
accepted.

It. would appear that the defendant was not.driven
by pecuniary distress to commit the offence with
which she was charged, as during the last week she
had purchased goods of Mr. Graham, the linen-
draper, of 208, Regent-street, to the amount of 261.,
part of which she had paid for by a cheque on Messrs.
Ilerries and Co., of St. James's•street ; and just
previous to her going into Mr. Sibley's, she had
looked out another assortment of hosiery for her
children at Mr. Graham's, where she left her clogs,
apparently intending to call again.

UN lON-liA

A dashing courtezan, dressed in a magnificent
style, was charged with misconduct in Vauxhall-
gardens. It was proved by the officers that she
had created a great riot in the supper-rooms—used
most indecent and offensive language, and struck at
several gentlemen. •
A man, named Tancock, here stepped forward to
-speak in her behalf, when it was suggested to the
Magistrate that he was the person in whose house
the defendant resided, at No. 21, Henry-street, in
the Waterloo-road. On the way to the office that
morning, the defendant was heard to inveigh most
bitterly against this person, exclaiming that he was
an old canting hypocrite l—that he preached in Zion
Chapel, and that when he came home after holding
forth to his congregation, he was in the habit of blow-
ing up the " ladies" in his house, if they had not
money to pay up their lodgings.
Mr. CHAMBERS to Tancock—" I suppose you
have come forward to claim the poor wretch's taw-
, dry garments, if I should commit her to gaol ?"
Tancock—l have nothing to do with her dress; I
have only come here to state that she always be-
hayed herself like a lady since she lived in my house.
Mr. CHAMBERS-It is represented to me that you
preach at Zion Chapel; you are a pretty minister
of the gospel—a keeper Of X common brothel. •What
do you charge this unfortunate girl a week for her

lodgings ?—Tancock affected to be sorely hurt at
the imputation of his being a brothel-keeper, and
reluctantly admitted that she paid him 11. 12s. a
week for his apartments. He, however, did not
consider his house a brothel, although the girl ad-
mitted that she was in the habit of taking men
there. He said that many of the owners of the
houses in the street in which he lived charged their
lodgers as much as 5/; a week for two apartments
—he was an exception, and thought he did not de-
serve the censure passed upon him by the Magistrate.
Mr. CHAMBERS—" You are pursuing a most dis-
creditable calling, and I can only say, that if it be
true that a man of your character should be permit-
ted to preach at Zion Chapel, or any other Chapel,
after this exposure, great blame will be attributable
to those by whom you are selected to expound
the Word of God." The Magistrate then com-
mitted the female defendant for fourteen days to
Brixton, and held Tancock to bail for keeping a dis-
orderly house:

fore the 'House, relating to the Silk Trade, to post-
pone its further consideration for a short time, to
give an opportunity to all those interested to ex-
press their opinions upon its probable effects.
Mr. FYLER also wished for a postponement; he
knew several Members who wished to deliver their

to expect that a postponement was to take place on
account of the accidental absence of two or three

measure was necessary ; it was only the principle
that required discussion, end that could be done in

BENJAMIN WEST,

To offer for :unreserved competition, on FRIDAY, SA-
TURDAY, and MONDAY, the 22d, 23d, and 25th days

THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF
HISTORICAL PICTURES,

Including 170 of the SUBLIME EYVORTS of his vast and
comprehensive mind.

The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna-
ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity
of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas-
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im-
perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very
faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more
talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice. In viewing this

SPLENDID EXHIBITION or THE FOUNDER AWD

FATHER or BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING,
The nation at large will lament that in times like these,
when the march of intellect and improvement has made
such rapid strides, so great a treasure as

MR. WEST'S GALLERY
Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham-
mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English
taste and liberality to contemplate
