ADELAIDE GALLERY.

On Wednesday evening, after the Infant Sappho had con-
chided her first melody, a provincial aspirant for metropolitan
fame, Mr. Linter, the pianiste, made his first appearance.
Notwithstanding a considerable degree of nervous trepidation,
under which it was evident he was labouring, his debut was
most successful. He performed Thalberg's Grand Fantasia on
" God Save the Queen" and "Rule Britannia" in admirable
style. The rapidity and exactness of his execution is really
wonderful ; his touch is exceedingly delicate, yet firm withal,
and he possesses the same command over his left hand that be
does over his right ; this of course gives him an immense ad-
vantage over those who have not acquired this facility in using
the lett hand. He is, moreover, an accomplished musician
and thoroughly understands his instrument. We doubt no,
we shall hear more of Mr. Linter.

Died lately at his seat, Falfar, near York, Mr.
Heaton, at an advanced age. He was greatly respected as a steady
unflinching Liberal, an active and intelligent Magistrate (having
twice served the office of Lord Alayor of York), and a most
amiaLle anti excellent private gentleman. His funeral was at-
tended by many of the elite of York, who were uninvited,
several of whom beingpolitical opponents. He has left a large
family to lamcut his km.

LAW AND POZICE.

At Marlborough-street, yesterday, Richard Hanley was
charged with robbing a number of ready-furnished houses of
piate and other valuable property, to a large amount, and Ed-
ward Gifford and Sarah Ann Hunt, two persons living together
in Warwick -street, were brought up for feloniously receiving
the stolen property, which, it was said, amounted to at least
1,0001. One case was proved against them, when the parties
were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were remanded
till Wednesday week.
John Thompson, said to be a large earthenware manufac-
turer at Ashby-de-la-'touch, was brought before the Alegi-
strates, at the Uxbridge Petty Sessions, charged with pre-
senting what appeared to be a pistol at a young lady, named
Bloomfield, whereby she became greatly alarmed. The offence
was committed at the Drayton station, on the Great Western
Railway. On the pistol being examined, it turned out to be
only an imitation of a pistol, made of earthenware. The pri-
soner pleaded intoxication ; Miss Bloomfield did not appear,
and the 'Magistrates, therefore, fined the silly fellow 405., under
the Railway Act.
Robert Lindsay Crawford, claimant to the peerage of Craw-
ford Lindsay and Garrock, in Scotland, was brought before
Mr. Traill, at Union Hall, on the double charge of bigamy
and returning from transportation before the expiration of his
sentence. It appeared that the prisoner had been convicted of
horse-stealing in 1527, at Londonderry, and was sentenced to
be transported for life. He was accordingly transported to
Sydney, and remained there in the omploy of Chief Justice
Dowling till 1638, when he made his escape. He, however,
denied the charge of bigamy, and also was prepared with do-
cuments to prove that he was in this country with the permis-
sion of the Australian authorities. The prisoner was remanded
till Wednesday.

" That your petitioner believes that the gross cost of
the said last contest for the borough of Bridport, in
June, IS4I, exceeded that of all former election contests
since the Reform Act ; that the said Thomas Alexander
Mitchell expended 3,2001., er thereabout, besides other
sums laid out on his behalf by hiS agent, Matthew
Hutchinson, jun. ; and that the said Alexandkr.Dundas
Bailey Cochrane also expended a considerable sum, in
amount unknown to your petitioner ; and that further
considerable sums of money have been paid for legal
proceedings, and for compromise of actions and indict-
mentsby the said Messrs. Cochrane and Mitchell.

"'That your petitioner, on coming to the knowledge. of
these latter circumstances, which it appeared to him re-
quired investigation, saw the more reason to regret that
the petition against Mr. Mitchell's return had been with-
drawn, since under an Act of the last Parliament (4th and
sth Victoria, cap. 57), his, your petitioner's personal
conduct, as a candidate, might, before the Committee ap-
pointed to try that return, have been submitted To strict
investigation, and might have been reported on by that
Committee to your Honourable House.
"That your petitioner humbly trusts that in the fore-
going recital of facts he has stated sufficient grounds to
justify him in praying your Honourable House to refer
the same to the Select Committee to be appointed to in-
quire into similar compromises, bribery, and election
corruption.
_

" 'That your petitioner and his Bridport agent,_ Edwin
Nicholetts, and your petitioner's London agent, Joseph
Parkes, will prove to your Hon. House the above facts.
and unreservedly communicate to your lion. House all
documents and correspondence relating thereto.
" And your petitioner will ever pray, &c."
The Hon. and Learned Member concluded by expressing
his intention to move that the petition be printed and
circulated with the Votes.

On the Ist of June, Part I. of the

10100 K OF BRITISH BALLADS.
Edited by S. C. HALL, Esq., F.S. A.
The work will consist of British Ballads taken from the col-
lections of Percy, Evans, Kitson, Pinkerton, Scott, Mother-
well, Jamieson, Buchan, Herd, and others, by whom they have
been gathered with so much industry and care ; and, also, from
sources comparatively unexplored by the general reader.
It will be issued in Monthly Parts, small Quarto ; each Part
will consist of five sheets (forty pages), and every page will
contain an illustration engraved on wood, in the hnest style of
which the art is capable. The present intention of the Editor,
is to complete the Work in Twelve Parts, at ss. each.
Part I. will contain the Ballads of—

Chevy Chase • illustrated by J. Franklin ; the engravings
by Linton Smith, Landells, Armstrong, Bastin, &c.;
The Children in the Wood ; illustrated by J. R. Herbert,
A. R. A. ; engraved by Green.
Fair Rosamond; illustrated by J. Franklin ; engraved by
T. Williams, Miss Williams, Walmcley, Evans, &c.

The Demon Lover; illustrated by J. Gilbert ; engraved by
Folkard.

The Nut-Browne Mayd ; illustrated by T. Creswick ; en-
graved by .1. Williams.
Each Ballad will be preceded by two pages, giving its his-
tory, and supplying such information concerning it as the Editor
may be enabled to obtain ; and in every Ballad the designs will
be drawn by one artist on the wood, so as to secure uniformity
of character : and such arrangements have been made, that as
the work progresses, it will exhibit examples of the genius of
a large proportion of the most accomplished artists of Great
Britain.

The supremacy of our English Engravers on wood is univer-
sally admitted. This important department of the work will be
entrusted only to artists of acknowledged skill and eminence.
The printing is confided to the establishment of Messrs.
Vizetelly and Co.
The aim of all parties engaged in the production of the work
will be to render it worthy of the Country and the Arts.
Or Specimens of the work may be seen at all Booksellers.

MELANCHOLY CASE.

CORONER'S INQUEST IN THB PENITENTIARY.—Yester-
day afternoon an inquest was held at the General Penitentiary,
Milbank, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of Win. Ford,
aged 53, a convict in the prison.
The Rev. Daniel Nihill, Governor and chaplain of the pri-
son, deposed that the deceased was received from Exeter gaol
on the 21st of July, 1840, having been convicted at, the Exeter
Sessions on the 30th of the preceding June, for felony, for
which offence he was sentenced to seven years' transportation,
hich, under the Act of Parliament, was commuted to three
years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary. He continued in
health until last winter, when he was seized with scrofulous
disease and dropsy. He was removed to the infirmary on the
9th of May, previous to which he was allowed the benefit of
garden exercise, and had extra diet. He died about four o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon.
By the Jury—The deceased's case was one of great hardship.
He
.told me, soon after his incarceration, that before his
troubles, he was in a good way of business at Exeter, as
builder and carpenter— that his wife having formed an im-
proper connection with one of his lodgers, she was tempted by
her paramour to steal some pigs from a neighbour's farm, after
which she and the man absconded, and the unfortunate de-
ceased was tried and convicted of the offence. The deceased was
a well behaved man in ninon
his mind suffered most intensely
from the degrated condition ;he was reduced to?
Dr. William Bayley had no doubt h;s.dea.h was hastened by
his imprisonment nd his great mental sufferings. He often
conplained of his unhappy fate, and he said he was an innocent
man.

The Jury, after commenting upon the distressing nature of
the case, returned a verdict of "Natural death accelerated by
excessive distress of min 1."

that Miss Gladstone of Liverpool, has apostat:zed to the
