HAMBURGH MAIL.

NUREMBURG, Nov. 16.—We are able to commu-
nicate to cur readers, on authority which may be de-
pended upon, the agreeable news that the conclusion
of the convention with Austria, relative to the Post-
office, is not the only advantage, for which Bavaria
will be indebted to the Government in the year 1842.
The example of Austria in reducing the postage of
letters will be imitated by us, and his Majesty's de-
cision on the subject will be published in a few days,
at all events before the meeting of the Assembly of
the Estates. We are not yet able to give any parti-
culars, but we hear that the maximum of postage in
the, kingdom, that is from one frontier to the other,
will not exceed 12 kreutzers.

BERLIN, Nov. 16.—We learn that the authorities of
the Post-office have at least turned their attention to
a change in the regulations of that office, though it
may perhaps be a considerable time before any takes
place. The works which have been published on the
new regulations of the English Post-office, are dili-
gently consulted by the Directors of our Post-office,
and some of them translated into German. A reduc-
tion of the postage seems to be absolutely necessary
to animate our internal communications.

HANOVER, Nov.. 17.--His Majesty's health has
latterly been extremely good, and he has been out
hunting almost every day. Some days ago (on the
14th), his Majesty having gone out to hunt, but
returning in half an hour, the public erroneously con-
jectured that he 'had returned on account of in-
disposition.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1842.

the purpose of finally arranging the terms upon which
the theatre should continue open under the new ma-
nagement of Mr. Bunn.
The facts relative to this sudden and unexpected
event in the theatrical world have been somewhat in-
correctly laid before the public in the account of
Thursday's proceedings. Mr. Bunn was first put in
communication with the Proprietors at ten o'clock on
Thursday morning, up to which time he was perfectly
unconscious that any change in, the management was
about to take place. _ _

Upon the proposition being Made, Mr. Bunn is
stated to have said that nothing would induce him to
be a party to any proceeding that approached a co-
ercive character towards Mr. Kemble. He was as-
sured that nothing was more remote from the inten-
tion and disposition of the Proprietors, and the lessee-
ship was again offered to him. Mr. Bunn remarked
on the almost insurmountable obstacles -which pre-
sented themselves to his entering on the theatre in
its present circumstances. The Proprietors said they
did not make this a sine qua non, but that he might
date his tenantcy from Christmas next, and that if he
would become the medium' of keeping the theatre
open until that period, he' would be doing the company
as well as themselves (the Proprietors) ,a service.
Mr. Bunn asked for a brief period of time to see his
way clear, and communicate with the performers.
The meeting of Friday was the consequence.
Immediately after the: close of this meeting, Mr.
Bunn was in personal and confidential communication
with Mr. Butler, who acted, and, as it will -be seen,
has throughout continued to act as the representative
of the Kemble family. The' result of the interview
was the departure of Mr. Butler for Brighton, where
Mrs. Sartoris (Miss A Kemble) is at present sojourn-
ing, for the purpose of communicating to that lady the
proposition of the Proprietors. Miss Kemble, having
expressed herself deeply sensible of the kindly feelings
which had been manifested towards her by those pre-
senth
at the meeting
—el— at the theatre during the
afternoon, and her anxiety that the theatre might, for
the interest of the profession, continue open, said she
would rather give her services gratuitously than that
it should be closed, and entrusted Mr. Butler with a
letter to that effect, to be read at the meeting of
Saturday.
Mr. Butler, upon his return to town on Saturday
morning, saw Mr. Bunn, and made him acquainted
with Miss Kemble's very generous offet, at the same
time observing that he felt somewhat annoyed at find-
ing that the account which had been giving in several
of the morning journals would lead to the inference
that compulsion had been used towards Mr. Kemble
in his separation from the management. Mr. Bunn
regretted that the statement should have conveyed
such an impression, and repeated what he had said to
the Proprietors, that nothing would induce him to
place himself in opposition to one whom he so much
respected as Mr. Kemble, adding, " If this step is to
the prejudice of Mr. Kenible, I will not take it." Mr.
Butler said it certainly was not, and for his part he
was heartily rejoiced that Mr. Kemble had given up
the lesseeship.
The meeting of Saturday was very numerously
attended, and the feeling displayed throughout the
proceedings was as enthusiastic as it was generous
and creditable to all parties. It having been signified
to _the company that the Proprietors could not, with a
due regard to the expenses of the theatre when open,
and the interests of the renters, recede from their
proposition of the previous day, the announcement of
the result of Mr. Butler's journey to Brighton was
the all-absorbing subject of expectation, and certainly
the chief feature of the meeting was the scene which
ensued upon the reading of Miss Kemble's letter.
In this communication she stated that " nothing
should induce her to put the company in a difficulty ;
that she would cheerfully make herself one of them ;
that she would take her salary subject to the receipts;
that she would be the last paid ; and that, if there
was not enough, she would play for nothing."
Great cheering followed the reading of this letter.
The company, having given expression to their admi-
ration of Miss Kemble's offer, said they were per-
fectly satisfied that the mere fact of her appearing on
the stage for the last time would draw houses that
could not fail to cover all the expenses of the manage-
ment; but, under any circumstances, imitating her
example, they would readily take their risk in the re-
ceipts of the house. The whole of the company then
signed an agreement to this effect, and the house will
consequently re-open to-night under the management
of Mr. Bunn. _

It is stated that the heavy duties of the lesseeship
have operated most prejudicially upon Mr. Kemble's
health, and that his physicians had given an extremely
unfavourable opinion as to the probable consequences
ofa continued performance of them; It is said that ill-
health has prevented Mr. Kemble s attendance at the
theatre during the last six weeks.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
On Friday evening a musical performance took
place at Exeter-hall, consisting of Handel's Jubilate,
a new version of Beethoven's Mount of Olives, with a
libretto by Dr. Hudson of Dublin, before a very
thronged assemblage of dilettanti. The motett of
Mozart, " Splendente to Deus," with four solo parts,
was finely supported. by Miss Dolby, Miss Birch, Mr.
Phillips, and Mr. Young. 4, If guiltless blood "
(Susannah), was sung by Miss Dolby in a style that
drew down a hearty encore. The Mount of Olives
has been several times performed at Exeter-hall before,
and on this occasion Mr. H. Phillips, who had sung
in the early part of the evening, was away from his
part of Engedi, in order to fulfil his engagement at
Drury-lane. The great hall was crowded to excess,
and the performance terminated, as usual, about ten
o'clock.

THE SCOTCH CONVOCATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA. -
SlR,—What will a Morning Contemporary of yours
say now to the doings of our Non-Intrusionists ? A
short time since that paper in strong language reviled
the idea of the Non-Intrusionists making any further
application to the powers that be. So sure was it
that these much wronged and suffering men would
not dishonour themselves and their sacred cause by
again seeking the aid of secular power, that it pledged
itself never more to
should. The pledge i say a word for them if they
s now forfeited, or about to be-
come so ; and we shall see if your Contemporary em-
braces so fair an occasion to leave off giving articles
on a subject of which he seems to know very little.
He may thank his stars for so lucky ap opportunity
of escape. The good man seems .to think that the
Non-Intrusionists are really in good earnest all the
while when they raise the cry of " stipends to the
winds," &c. This perhaps may in some measure be
held to account for the oddity of a professedly Volun-
tary newspaper being the panegyrist of those "wild
men ;" and also for the oddities of the articles de-
voted to that object. It is sincerely to be hoped that
your Contemporary is better acquainted with other
matters treated of in his columns, and that he will
in future stick to what he knows more of, and let the
Non i st t
hCal
te Clergy
they y care for themselves. He
m
will do so, perhaps with a
demure smile at him into the bargain.—l am, Sir,
your daily reader, A SCOTSMAN.

Notwithstanding the well-known historical associa-
tion connected with Walmer Castle, the present resi-
dencethe little incident which

not be deemed without
some interest. A few years
back the Duke of Wel-
lington had a large party of visitors at Walmer, and
one wet day, when the guests were confined within
its walls, an officer betook himself,
in default of other
occupation, to rummaging an old store-room, filled
with what seemed a mass of trumpery ; he was re-
warded for his research by finding a
soldier's canteen,
on which was written, " 'William Pitt, Cinque Port
Volunteers." It was the canteen of Pitt, Prime Mi-

THE AGNEWITES.—The following
Paragraph from
the Reformers' Gazette, shows that these gentlemen
have broken their solemn pledges, and now travel like
other people :—" So-ho ! We find that the Rev. Dr.
Smyth, of St. George's, who protested so vehemently
against the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway—who
joined the Agnewites in all their crusades against it—
qu;etly took his seat in the train from Glasgow to
Edinburgh last Wednesday, to join the Convocation,
and others of the Agnewites imitatedbis example. We
predicted six months ago that it would come to this at
last. We hope the Rev. Doctor has found that the
railway, after all, is better than Mr. John Bain's old
mail coaches."
