CORN SPECULATIONS-IN RE lIBNRY 13AKER.
The bankrupt, who was a most extensive specula-
tor in corn, came up to pass his last examination,
having only delivered his voluminous balance-sheet
about a week since. Some notion of the extent of
his dealings may be gathered from the following ab-
stract of his balance-sheet, commencing on the Ist of
April, 1840, and extending from that period to the
6th of September, 1842 :

AMSTERDAM, OCT. 15.—The report of the wreck of
the &Ilona, published by the Zeepost, caused an extra-
ordinary sensation here, so that the Austrian Consul- Ge-
neral, and other authorities, immediately repaired to the
spot to give all the assistance in their power. Hap-
pily, the whole was unfounded. Nobody here can
conceive how the Zeepost was induced to publish such
a false statement.
OPENING OF THE ORDINARY SESSION
OF 1842 AND 1843.

COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS,
GLOUCESTER.
The Quarter Sessions of the peace for the Michael-
mas quarter commenced at Gloucester on Tuesday
morning. After the usual preliminary business had
been transacted, the Magistrates adjourned to the
Grand Jury room, for the transaction of the county
business. There was a large attendance, though the
Court was not so full as on some former occasions.
Among those present we noticed the Right Hon. Earl
Fitzhardinge, the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, M.P., Sir
Matthew Wood, C. Bathurst, Esq.; and from the
Cheltenham district, E. Kendall, W. Gyde, J. Over-
bury, J. E. Viner, S. Gale, W. Pitt, and D. L. St.
Clair, Esqrs., the Rev. J. Smith, Colonel Wall, and
others.

thin he could not be there fourteen hours at a time,
because the prisoners are not let out of their cells un-
til six in the morning, and are locked up again at six
in the evening, The surgeon did not know of his
sorting potatoes at the time. lle has been told of it
since, but did not express an objection to it. I never
heard of his eating the raw potatoes. Ile never com-
plained, to my knowledge, of the food. The potatoes
are kept in a dry cellar. There is no water running
through the prison now. The brook is now turned
outside the boundary wall. There is only sufficient
water allowed to cleanse the privies. The potato cel-
lar is not near the brook, which runs on the otherstle
of the prison. The cell Beale was confined in was
perfectly dry, as all the cells are. They are heated in
cold weather by the stoves. Don't suppose they were
warmed at the time complained of, as it was sum-
mer time. There is nothing in the cells for the pri-
soners to sit on but the large stone and the iron bed-
stead. When the cells are warmed the hot air toms
under the stone. It was in my presence that Beale
told his mother that he was perfectly satisfied. None
of the cells are glazed, they are fitted with wooden
shutters. The rain may beat in sometimes, but not
much.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 17.—This solemnity took place
to-day in the usual manner. At one o'clock, the King
left his Palace, accompanied by the Princes, and a
brilliant staff. A salute of artillery announced his de-
parture from the Palace.
The inhabitants, who crowded the streets through
which he passed, received him with the loudest accla-
mations. His Majesty being introduced into the As-
sembly by the deputation appointed for the purpose,
placed himself before the throne, and delivered the
following speech :
" NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS,—On opening the
present Session of the States-General, the first desire
of my heart is to speak to you of the union of my
beloved daughter with the Hereditary Grand Duke
of Saxe IViemar Eisenach.
" I have reason to believe that this union, with the
blessing of Heaven,w4ll,l,.contrilauteto the happiness
of my beloved daughter.
" My prayers and the interest which you take will
accompany my daughter and her husband. She, on
her part will never forget her country, to which all
my family are so intimately attached.
"In lately visiting several provinces of the king-
dom, it was with the most lively satisfaction that I re-
ceived from my subjects the most marked proof of at-
tachment and affection, and it is soothing to my heart
to be assured in this manner, that my beloved sub-
jects are not ignorant to what high degree they are
sure of my reciprocal attachment.
The relations of the Netherlands with Foreign
Powers have been marked by mutual friendship and
good will.
" The negociations with Belgium for the complete
execution of the Treaty of London have been prosecuted
with all the attention which this important question
requires.
"I have the satisfaction to be able to announce to you
that the respective Plenipotentiaries have latelyagreed
on the basis of an arrangement which includes all the
points which have hitherto remained in dispute, and I
therefore trust that the treaty will be signed in a few
days.
" The Navy of the kingdom is in as satisfactory a
condition as the sums granted in the budget permit ;
only our arsenals require improvements which are at
this moment a subject of attention.
" According to what circumstances require the most
suitable means are constantly employed to put the de-
fences of the country on a respectable footing.
"The good will and zeal of the officers and soldiers
have allowed the time of the exercise of the militia to
be again shortened.
"The special commission appointed to revise the
laws relative to the militia and commercial guards
has met with so many difficulties in its proceedings,
that it cannot be certainly affirmed whether the new
projects of law on this subject can be discussed during
the present session.
" Order and regularity continue to be remarked in
the internal administration.
" The organization of the police requires ameliora-
tion in several parts of the kingdom. Measures are
preparing to provide an effectual remedy.
" Primary instruction, under the influence of the
late ordinances, affords satisfactory results.
" I continue to turn all my attention to the other
branches of public instruction, and there is reason to
rejoice at the state of the sciences and the increase
and prosperity- of the arts.
" With respect to the Benevolent Society it is in-
tended to submit to the States-General some legis-
lative measures on this subject.
" The situation of the indigent classes is particularly
the subject of earnest solicitude. Measures are in
preparation which may better fulfil the proposed ob-
jects than those which are founded on the existing law.
" Our Colonial possessions enjoy a satis'actory state
of tranquillity ; agriculture and manufactures con-
tinue to make progress in our East India possessions,
though the shock which credit has received has dimi-
nished their resources.
" The internal situation of our West India colonies,
the prosperity of which is paralysed by divers causes,
is the subject of serious deliberation.
" The completion of the penal code, and the succes-
sive amelioration of the different branches of the Le-
gislation, are prosecuted with all diligence.
" The second book of the penal code will be pre-
sented to you during these sessions, as well as some
of the projects of law; the object of one of them is to
regulate the execution of the enactments of the funda-
mental law respecting the leave to retire granted, in
certain cases, to members of the judicial order.
" The less flourishing condition, in some branches
of commerce and manufactures, has not been without
influence on some taxes, which have fallen short of the
original estimate.

After some routine business had been gone through
the subject of the county prison was taken into con-
sideration.

The Visiting Justices', Surgeon's, and Gaoler's
Reports of the state of this prison were read.
It appeared that on the 14th of October, the pri•
soners had been inspected and asked if they had
any complaint to make ; they all said they
had not sufficient food, except one man who was un-
well and could not eat his allowance. Visiting Jus-
tices thought the dietary scarcely sufficient for long
terms of imprisonment.
The CHAIRMAN observed that from the Surgeon's
Report the prisoners appeared generally healthy, al-
though the prison was crowded.

The CHAIRMAN said he thought from what they
had heard it would be proper to substitute wooden
seats for stone ones, as stone was of too damp a na-
ture to form a proper seat for prisoners in a perspira-
tion. He, therefore, proposed that pieces of wood
should be clamped on the stones.
The motion was agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the whole of
the cells should be glazed in addition to the wooden
shutters.— This was also agreed to.

A number of proofs were admitted without any op-
position. . '

The bankrupt having sworn to the accuracy of his
accounts, was declared to have passed his final exa-
mination.

The Visiting Justices reported that one of the
turnkeys of this prison had been tried at the late
assizes, for assisting ono of the female prisoners in at-
tempting to procure abortion. lie had been acquitted,
but the Justices had thought it right to institute a
rigid inquiry into the case, and they were unani-
mously of opinion that the charge was groundless.
The turnkey alluded to being a son of the Governor
of the gaol, the Justices considered that it was impro-
per he should hold an appointment in that particular
prison, and therefore recommended his discharge ;
but fearing if he was discharged .o soon after the re-
cent complaint against him, it might operate prejudi-
cially to his character, they agreed to continue him
in his situation until Christmas next. The prisoners
made; no complain of the diet. The Rev. John Betts
of Nailsworth, was api:ointed chaplain of this prison.
The surgeon, in his Report, stated that there were
two prisoners who had been fifteen months on the
wheel. In every case of so long imprisonment, he
thought the absence of animal food was injurious. In
these cases, the prisoners did not appear to suffer so
much from ill-health as from weakness. One case of
death had occurred in the prison, but the seeds of the
disease were evidently sown before the prisoner's
entrance to the gaol. Two of the prisoners were
obliged to hare meat to enable them to work ; but
generally they were not over-worked or under-fed.
The CHAIRMAN said, he thought it might be in-
ferred from the tenour of the Report, that the dietary
was too low for prisoners sentenced to long terms of
imprisonment.
MEMORIAL FROM THE WARD OP GUARDIANS.

After some further desultory conversation, the sub-
ject dropped, without the Court coining to any specific
resolution.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.
KINGSTON, OCT. 19.
(Before E. PENIIRYN, Esq., Chairman ; Sir R.
FREDERICK, J. W. FRESIIFIELD, Esq.; T. FUCKLE,
Esq. &c.)
The Court this.day proceeded to renew the licenses
to the different places of public amusement in the
county, and to hear applications for fresh ones.
Upon the application of Mr. Chamber, licenses
were granted to the Victoria Theatre, in the names of
John Adolphus Young, William White Smith, and
D. W. Osbaldiston • to the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall ;
to the Castle Hotel, Richmond; the Duke's Attns,
Stangate ; and to the Jamaica Tavern, Bermondsey.
Mr. Wallinger applied for a renewal of the license
for the Surrey Theatre, in the name of Frances
Davidge, the widow of the late lessee.—Granted.
Mr. tutor applied for and obtained a renewal of
the license to the St. Helena Gardena, Rotherhithe.
Mr. Chambers applied for a license for Astley's
Amphitheatre, in the names of John Chevalier
Cobbold and William Batty. The Learned Counsel
said that the name of Mrs. Astley was included in
the former license, but her interest in the theatre had
now ceased.—The application was granted.
Mr Chambers then, pursuant to notice, applied on
behalf Mr. Brown, the landlord of the Green Man,
Old Kent-road, for a license to have music and danc-
ing upon his premises. The Learned Counsel said
that Mr. Brown had conducted his establishment with
the greatest respectability, for a period of 15 years,
and his application was supported by a great number
of the inhabitants of his immediate neighbourhood,
and also by the churchwardens, overseers, and several
members of the Board of Guardians.
A counter petition was presented by other inhabi-
tants of the vicinity, which alleged that the place was
at present a nuisance to the neighbourhood, by exhi-
bitions of fireworks, and others of a similar kind,
which took place there, and expressing their opinion
that the grant of such a license as the one prayed for
would greatly increase the evil, by bringing a great
number of disorderly persons and bad characters into
the
Mr . ig
P nehbourhd.
UCKLEoo said he must oppose the license being
granted. The local Magistrates were strongly op-
posed to a house in such a public situation as this
having a license, for although the landlord might be
a very respectable man, and desirous to conduct his
house properly, yet it was impossible for him to pre-
vent had characters from attending it. He had re-
ceived a letter from a gentleman living in the neig
bourhood, who confirmed the opinion h-
expressed in the
petition against the license, that if one were granted
it would be the means of creating a very great nui-
sance. At all events, as it was not customary to grant
such a license on the first application, he thought the
application might stand over for the present.
Mr. Chambers said it was rather hard upon the
applicant that the license should be refused, when no
good ground of opposition to it appeared to exist.
Three months' notice of the intended
application had
been given, and yet none of the parties who opposed
the grant of the license had been able to establish any
specific opposition.
Mr. FRESHFIELD intimated his opinion that as such
long notice had been given those parties who peti-
tioned the Court not to grant the license, ought, at
the same time, to have given some reasons for their
opposition ; but, instead of doing that, they merely,
generally stated their opinion that the place would
become a nuisance.

GLOUCESTER PRISON.

A Report was next read from the Visiting Justices
of Gloucester gaol. It stated that Lot Organ and
Thomas Roach, the two prisoners mentioned by the
bc:ard of guardians, had never complained of ill-treat-
ment while in confinement ; that the cells of the prison
were not damp, but dry, airy, and well-ventilated ;
that the tread•wheel labour was not injurious to
health, as the prisoners were only on a quarter of an
hour and twenty minutes off. The superintendent
of the wheel stated that neither Organ nor Roach had
complained of the labour; the former when he entered
the prison was a thin, miserable-looking object, and
that he went out better than he came in ; he was re-
presented as a " dissatisfied and scheming character."
In the surgeon's Report the case of Organ was men-
tioned no less than 53 times, and he appeared to have
been most carefully and diligently attended to.
JONES, Esq., one of the Visiting Justices, as
sured the Court that there was not an atom of founda-
tion of complaint in either of the cases.
Mr. GALE inquired if the surgeon made any report
of the health of prisoners when admitted into the
gaol, and being answered in the negative, proposed
a resolution to the effect that on the admission of
every prisoner the surgeon make a minute of the re-
suit
of his examination, as to any tendency to disease
in his constitution, that it may serve as a reference at
any future time.

I]arl FITZHARDINGE coincided in the motion.
After some further discussion, the motion was
agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN here read the memorial addressed

to the Court by the Cheltenham Board of Guardians,
calling its attention to several cases of ill-treatment in
Northleach and other prisons. He said that on the
Report appearing in the public papers, he had put
himself in communication with the Board, and here
read the correspondence, the substance of which has
already appeared in our columns. He had also written
to the Visiting Justices of Northleach and Horsley on
the subject, and had received reports from them in re-
ply. The substance of them was as follows :

DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA.
(From the Wateiford Mirror.)
_ _

Intelligence of the folio-wing disaster, attended,
there is every reason to fear, with the loss of the
crew of the vessel run down, with the exception of
one man, the writer of the subjoined statement,
reached this city on Saturday. It appears that the
brig Dundonald, of Troon, D. 31‘Nicol, master, which
sailed from this port on Tuesday evening for Troon,
laden with ballast, came, shortly after her departure,
in contact with the schooner Kirby, laden with slates
from lludden, a small seaport on the borders of Lan-
cashire and Cumberland. The only particulars that
we have yet learned are contained in the letter at
foot, written by one of the crew of the Kirby, which
letter he handed to the pilot authorities at Passage of
Waterford, where he arrived in the Maid of Mostyn.
It is to be remarked, that the letter is not signed with
the writer's name.

—The Report from Horsley, alluding to the case of
Jane Barnard, mentioned by the clerk of the Chelten-
ham Board as having been confined in that prison,
stated,• that although the Justices had carefully in-
spected the books for some years back, they were unable
to find any such person as having been an inmate of
the prison. The matron, who had filled her present
situation for thirteen years, had no recollection of any
such person, neither had the Governor. The Report
further stated that the dietary of the prison had not
been altered for thirteen years, except an addition of
half a pound of potatoes daily to such of the prisoners
as were at hard labour. There were no complaints
of the: insufficiency of the food. Four deaths only
had occurred in the prison during the last thirteen
years, and one of these was an old man of 75, and
the others more recently, and all from causes
quite independent of the prison regulations. No pri-
soners were compelled to work contrary to the direc-
tions of the surgeon. The state of the building
afforded no ground for dissatisfaction, the cells were
perfectly dry, and there were stoves for the purpose
of warming them, and the situation of the prison was
healthy. The only point in which the Visiting Jus-
tices or surgeon were in doubt, was whether the diet
was sufficiently good for persons under long terms of
imprisonment ; there were four such at present in the
prison, to some of whom it was found necessary to
afford a little animal food.

The Dundonald took her departure from Hook
Tower at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, and her
collision with the Kirby occurred about three hours
after, and about sixteen miles from the Hook. We
learn that the night was rather cloudy, but that the
sea was smooth with a light breeze. While we
anxiously await some further intelligence, and in
particular the:version of the occurrence to be given by
the Dundonald, we think that it appears at least some-
what probable, from the following letter, that the Kirby
and the remainder of the crew went down :—" This is
to certify that the schooner Kirby, of Dudden, was
bound on her passage from Dudden to Youghal, with
a cargo of slates, and on Tuesday, October 11, betwixt
the hours of 10 and 12 p.m., the brig Dundonald, of
Troon, and the said schooner, got entangled with one
another about a mile to the southward of the Con-
nibegs Light-ship, when the master of the schooner
called out to the brig, You will run us down ;'
they said, Put your helm down,' and immediately
the vessel struck, when our master called out, She
is going down—run, save yourselves if you can
With that I left the helm, and ran forward, and got
hold of the brig's bobstay, along with my shipmate,
but I not know whether he went overboard or not.
There was one of the brig's crew assisted me in getting
over the bows. When I got on deck I heard my master
say, Oh, dear, Captain, stand by us !' and he gave him
no answer, but was giving orders to his men about his
jib,boom, for it was carried away. I kept looking
towards the schooner, and as near as I can calculate I
saw her about 20 minutes, and-the last words I heard
my Captain say were, Oh, my dear wife.' I went to the
Captain of the brig, and said, You would better stand
towards her;' and he said, ' What good can I do ? Let
us get our own jib-boom in. I wanted him to put me in
board the Light-ship, but he would not do it, and I re-
mained on board of her till Thursday the 13th, when I
saw a schooner standing in for the Tuskar Light. I
asked the Captain if he would allow his men to pull
me aboard of the schooner, and he said it was a days'
work, she was so far off, and two of the men said they
would go, and he said Very well, call the hands up.
So we lowered the boat and pulled towards the
schooner, and made signal to her, and she hove to
until we came up to her, which we found to be the
Maid of Mostyn, Captain Edwards, bound for Ross,
and I asked a passage from him, and he told me to
come aboard. It was 3 p.m., then. She was about
seven miles to the E.N.E. of Tuskar Light." We
have not learned the name of the writer of this state-
ment. It appears that he was a north of England
man, and has gone on to Youghal, in the expectation
of finding if the schooner was able to prosecute her
voyage. We trust that the expectation will be
rea-
lized. Her crew consisted of the master and three
men,
on board.
and it appears that the master's wife was also

"The slight difference produced by these two
causes is, however, made up for by the surplus in
other branches.

NORTIILEACI/ HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
From the journal of the Governor of this prison, it
appeared that Charles Beale and Josiah Rowley were
inmates of the prison fro.n March to September. In
the course of that time they were unwell and visited

"The hope that the contribution from the colonial
resources, which were below the estimate in 1841,
would be made up for by the produce of the current
year has not been realised. The continuance in the
decline in the price of colonial produce has again
caused a very considerable deficit.
"Taking these results as a basis, the colonial con-
tributions during the next two years must neces-
sarily be assumed at a lower sum in estimating the
revenues of the State.

The license was eventually refused.
Mr. Chambers nest applied for a license for a con-
cert-room in Hill-street, Peckham, on behalf of Mr.
Baker, the proprietor.
There was no opposition offered to the license.
The CHAIRMAN said he was informed by Mr.
Kemble, that he intended to have supported the appli-
cation if it had been possible for him to have attended
the Court that day, as he believed that a place of
amusement was requisite in that vicinity.
Mr. Hamm was favourable to the grant of the
license.

by tbe surgeon, who attended them frequently. It ,
appeared that Beale had only once been visited by the
Chaplain during the time of his illness.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that he was sorry to see,
from the Visiting Justices, that since the last sessions
they had only visited the prison three times, viz., on
the 30th of July, the 20th of August, and the Ist of
October. This was explained by one of the Justices
that the petty sessions were held at the gaol in the
interim, when other Magistrates had an opportunity of
inspecting the state of the prisoners.
After adverting to the case of Rowley, the Report of
the Justices has the following respecting Beale :
Charles Beale was taken ill on the 14th of May, and
examined by the surgeon. On the 17th he was
ordered to rest two or three days ; on the 21st he was
better; on the 24th better still; on the 28th better;
on the 31st very weak, and ordered meat daily. On
the 4th of June he was better; 7th much the same;
12th better; 15th better. He was during this time
on extra diet, and on the 18th, 22d, and 24th con-
tinued mending. On the Ist of July he was found
to have the jaundice, and tonics were administered.
On the 16th and 19th he was better. On the 2d of
August he was found to have a cough, and was or-
dered to rest. On the 10th his cough was still bad,
and medicine was administered ; 13th, cough conti-
nued, a blister on the side ; 15th, half a pound of meat
ordered ; 16th, cough still and pain in the side, bled,
and had medicine administered. On the 17th he was
relieved by the previous treatment; 18th, bled again,
blood much inflamed ; 19th, cough, but better gener-
ally; 21st, still better; 24th, 26th, and 31st, still im-
proving ; and on Ist September he left the prison.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that the prisoner appeared
to receive every attention at the hands of the surgeon,
as there were no less than 31 entries in the book re-
lative to his case. Shortly after the commencement
of his illn ass, the prisoner Beale stated to his mother,
who visited him, that he received every attention, and
could not be done better by at home. This, however,
was said in presence of the turnkey and gaolor.
In the. Report, the cells are represented as well ven-
tilated, and damp only when they have been washed,
on which occasions they are not used for persons kept
to hard labour. It concludes by saying there is
nothing either in the discipline, situation, or atmo-
sphere of the prison calculated to injure those con-
fined in it, and nothing but what is needful and con-
sistent with a wholesome rigour of imprisonment. It
is signed by C. and H. Waller, the Visiting Justices,
and other Magistrates.
A Report from the county surveyor, who had been
employed to inspect the cells, was also read. It stated
that the drainage was very complete, the building
perfectly weather-proof, the rain water well carried
off, and that the cells are perfectly dry, and that if
there was any damp at all, the white wash on the
walls would make it easily discernible. The cells are
warmed by artificial means. The level of the brook
is five feet six below the level of the cells.
The CHAIRMAN said that as a Coroner's inquest
was being held on the late prisoner Beale, and as the
gaoler was now present, he should like to ask him a
few qUestions, to give him an opportunity of explain-
ing anything which might appear wrong.
Mr. Townsend, the Governor, then, in answer to
tions, said, Bodo was a prisoner six months. He was
never put for fourteen hours at a time in the potato
cellar picking potatoes. I understand from the turn-
key that he was put there once, for three or four hours,
but that was at his own requEst, because he said he
would rather do that than be in his cell or walk
in the yard. That was before he vas ill. I am cer-

" Though the budget of the receipt and expendi-
ture for 1844 and 1845 will present in its chapters
indubitable proofs of a serious desire to effect simpli-
fication and economy, and especially a remarkable
diminution in the total amount, it will, nevertheless,
be necessary to increase a little the ordinary means
in order to balance the expenses.
" And an increase of the duties on inheritance
and stamps has appeared the most suitable and least
onerous means of obtaining this object.
" However, my desire to make some reduction in
other taxes will, I hope, be fulfilled, though circum-
stances do not permit it to be done to the extent that
I could have wished.

Mr. PUCKLE said that after what had been stated
he should not oppose the license, but be could not
help saving that the Court ought to be very careful
how they established the precedent of granting licenses
to places of this description. They should recollect

said by the local Ma-

have opposed the appli-

would lead to a great many similar applications next
year.—The license was then granted.
Jane Spratt, a servant in the establishment of the
Marchioness of Conyngham, at Richmond, was in-
dicted for stealing three pairs of slippers, value 6d.,
the property of Henry Levi, under rather singular
circumstances.—Mr. Chambers defended the.prisoner.

" The draft of the new tariff of import, export,

and of the Commissions of Agriculture, to be speedily
consulted.

" The account of the receipt and expenditure of the
State for 1842 and the preceding years will be laid
before you. The inspection the accounts will demon-
strate that some overplus has been applied to clear off
the preceding arrears. Since the credit of the funds
for the iron railroads from Amsterdam to Arnheim

has been separated from the extraordinary receipts in-
dicated in the balance of the budget, by an inscrip-
tion in the second book of the Public Debt, the Go-
vernment still has the faculty of creating a capital of
6,000,000, to which recourse will be had in proportion
as the treasury may be in need of it, though it is not
possible at present to specify at what time.
" The revisal of the pensions is proceeding accord-
ing to the basis pointed out by a special c ommissi on.
HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS—I shall have nothing
more at heart than to contribute to perfect concord
during this session. On this point I reckon on the
co-operation of all, each in the circle which is assigned
him by the fundamental law; and, for my part, I hope
faithfully to fulfil the high duties which Providence
has imposes upon me.

TYE NEW' MARYLEBONE TILEATRE. This new
theatre, built on the site of the former licensed house,
the accommodation of which, particularly of the
. boxes, was not such as to give general satisfaction, is
a most substantial building, and for convenience and
decoration is likely to rival the best of the minors.
The audience part is of a broad horse-shoe form,
measuring, from front of box to box, in the widest
part, thirty-four feet, the same from front of centre
box to the "float" lamps, and from them to the back
of the stage, forty-seven feet. The height of the
proscenium is thirty-two, and the width twenty-
eight feet. The gallery will hold seven hundred, the
shall
boxes five hundred, and the pit eight hundred people,
and every one will have a perfect view of the stage.
The theatre has been built entirely under the direc-
_tion of its enterprising proprietor, Mr. Loveridge, and
he has evidently been determined that nothing
be wanting to give satisfaction, and make
