SADLER'S WELLS.

This theatre, which has recently undergone con-
siderable alterations, in the shape of decorations and
embellishments, opened last night with.* new series
of entertainments, all of which were favourably re-
ceived.. The first piece, a burletta, called The Lads
of the Village, had in it two or three comic songs,
which called forth encores from the gallery. The
scenery was well painted. Mrs. Searle and -her
juvenile pupils danced with considerable grace and
elegance, in a rural fete scene. The second piece
was a meld-drama, intitled The White Wolf, or the
Woman of the Wood, said to be taken from an his-
torical fact, to be found in German Literaiure, and,
like most meld-dramas of that school, it part :ices of
much improbability. The pantomime has in it many
excellent scenes, and a few good tricks. The holiday
folks, especially the children, laughed heartily at the
reneOntres of .Harlequin, the Clown, and Pantaloon,
in their chase after Columbine. The scene of the
Gardens of the Fairy, " Forget-me-not," was well
painted. The exhibition of an American Aloe,
which by Harlequin's wand was changed• into a
china-shop, was well managed. Young Grimaldi,
who had a comic song to sing, forgot one of the
verses, and he was, to use a sportsman's phrase," at
a dead stand." Th. song was encored, which gave
him an opportunity of recollecting the verse " which
had slided out of his men-tory." Harlequin Hya-
cinth, for that is the name of the pantomime, was
announced at the close, for repetition, amid the
plaudits of a crowded house.

SURREY.

This Theatre was re-opened yesterday evening to
the holiday visitors, with the domestic melo-drame
(as it is now called) of G.7orge Barnwell. After
the play, a Mi. Buckingham, in the character of
Apollo Daggcrwood, introduced some tolerable suc-
cessful imitations of various London performers; the
more successful, perhaps, because they were confined
to a single passage of some striking scene, in which
the peculiarities of the actor were strikingly visible.
The attempts to imitate Mathews, Harley, Munden,
and the sevei al comic performers, were decidedly
the best. The performances concluded with a Pan-
tomime, taken from the Tales of the Genii, and
called ilforad the Wizard; or, The Talisnucn of
Oromanes, in which the Merchant, Abudah, after tite
exercise of the accustomed eloquence " of kicks and
thumps," is at last conducted to the enjoyment of
the Talisman content. The tricks in this,piece
were tolerably well executed; and the exertions of
the Ridgways and Miss Rosyer, as Clown, Harle-
quin, and Cclumbine, sent the audience home evi-
dently pleased with their night's amusement.

We have not many new facts to communicate
to-day with respect to the Ministry which is now
being formed, or undergoing its creation. The
master-artist may not find always fit materials
ready to his hand at the first touch ; he tries,
therefore, and rejects that which does not suit
his purpose. It now appears that • Sir John
Copley, the new Master of the Rolls, and who
has performed the public' part (qui a joue son
i
sole) of opposition to the Catholic claims, sto
be the new Chancellor. The Marquis of Angle-
sea is mentioned as Master-General of the Ord-
nance, from which it is inferred, that that office
is to be separated from the Commander-in-
Chief. This may proceed from the necessity of
multiplying places for the sake of support ; but
if the Duke of Cambridge were to be Comman-
der-in-Chief, they could hardly offer him less
than was held by the Duke of Wellington. We
hear his Grace softens, and would explain sway
his late coarse language, or show that he 1....:ted
under cutting provocation. There is no ques-
tion that the act which has led to all these new
appointments, was what we first termed it—a
conspiracy among the old Ministers 'to overawe
and control the Crown. His Majesty has acted
with spirit on the occasion ; but spirit is not all
that is necessary. Has a proper course been
adopted to secure a final victory over the conspira-
tors? This can only be I:nown with certainty by
the result. We may observe, however, at the pre-
sent moment, that though Mr. Canning's task may
be difficult, yet it is one that has been accom-
plished, and that by one for whose talents Mr. Can-
ning entertains no great reverence; for Lord Sid-
Aouth held his situation as Prime Minister by the
Royal favour, against Whigs and Tories, for more
than two years, and might have held it longer if he
had not been frightened. It is certain also, that the
King is sincere in his indignation at the treatment
which he has received, or the Duke of Clarence
would not have been appointed to his present high
post under the new Administration. That appoint-
ment, beyond all doubt,wasa coup de maitre. It must
have come down.rike a clap of thunder upon the
conspirators. The credit of the Royal Family is now
embarked in the enterprise,and should it fail it is not
ditlicultto see how much that eminence will be sunk
upon 'Alia they arstplaced. An indignant King de-
fe'..ted by those who have insulted him, and obliged
to take them into his service again, that is to be his
masters! Proh pudor ! At the same time it must
be acknowledged, that the new Minister may be con-
siderably perplexed, and the simplicity of his views
in the formation of his Ministry broken in upon by
interferences which he dares not repel. The first,
indeed the single object now is, to form a Ministry
capable of keeping out those , who, from mere inso-
lence to their Master, chose to go out. We have
reason to know that the negociation with Lord Lens-
down is not broken off.—Times.

of Wellesley would be made President of the
Council. This appointment is still spoken of
confidently as likely to take place. But the Earl
of Carlisle is now named as the successor of
the Noble Marquess, instead of the Duke of
Devonshire. The Globe says that the Marquess of
Hertford is to be raised to a Dukedom, and that he
will accept an appointment in. the Household. We
hear that four Peers in all are to be elevated to
Dukedoms—the Marquess of Stafford, the Earl of
Darlington, the Marquess of Convngliarn,,and the
Marquess of Hertford. The Duke of Cambridge
has been written to on the subject of the Command
Of the Army. Under present circumstances, it is
not very probable that he will decline it. Allusion has
been made by some of our Contemporaries to a dis-
inclination on the part of the Marquess of Lansdown
and some other Peers who share his sentiments, to
form any part of an Administration which is not
prepared to make Catholic Emancipation a Cabinet
measure. The feelings of the Peers alluded to must
be the best guides with regard to this delicate
question. But, whichever way they decide, it is
clear that they will never oppose themselves to any
measures which may be conducive to the accom-
plishment of that measure. The opposition may
occasionally object to the measures of Mr. Canning 's
administration; but it will be on very different
grounds from those on which the Old Tories will
oppose Government. Mr. Canning, in all that is
fair and liberal, may always count on their support.
`No man, indeed, with any pretentions to popular
approbation, can refuse to support him, while
stands forward as the representative of the
,'national interests against a wretched cabal.—
Even on the mere ground of official experience,
;and putting the splendour of his talents out of the
,question, Mr. Canning has claims to the Premiership
!superior to those of any of his late colleagues. He
!served through the period of the French Revolu-
ition. During the time that the operations were
planned in the Peninsula, which procured for the
`Duke of Wellington the reputation lie now enjoys,
Mr. Canning was leader in the House of Commons,
and Sir Arthur Wellesley was glad to fill the office
of Irish Secretary. As to Earl Bathurst and the
Earl of Westmorland, nobody would have ever heard
of them, had not the former been unfortunately for
his reputation, connected with the severities prac-
tised on Buonaparte, and the latter been brought
into collision with the Catholic Committee in Dub-
lin. ' It is the extreme of arrogance in any of these
personages to pretend to any thing like rivalry with
Mr. Canning. Mr. Peel has, in point of talents, a
fair claim on public approbation, and the public were
not disposed to deal niggardly with him ; but Mr.
Peel should remember that the claims of Mr.. Can-
ning, from length of service, are greatly superior to
his own. It was not for him, of all men, to afford,
even indirectly, countenance to an attempt to with-
hold from his colleague the ascendancy to which he
was equally entitled from the splendour of his talents
and his experience. It is remarked by Cicero, that
in the course of his long experience he had seldom
found meanness of disposition associated with high
mental cultivation. From all that we can learn,
Mr. Canning does not, in his disposition, disprove
the observation of the Roman Orator. We have
heard more than one instance of his rising superior
to the littlenesses in which the vulgar great are
sometimes not indisposed to indulge. We are not
in the habit of complimenting Ministers; but in times,
like these, when public men are, as it were, on trial
before their country, it would be injustice not to
bear testimony to what we believe to be the truth.—
Morning Chronicle.
The new Ministry, whenever it comes into
action, will find, we suspect, the truth of the old
proverb fully exemplified, " that delays are dan-
gerous:" for had the business of the Session pro-
ceeded, as it ought to have done, in November,
much of it, including probably the Corn ques-
tion and the Budget, would have been despatched_
by this time, instead of their having, as they now
will, nearly the whole of thei3uainssas to transact,
et thiaadveneed- «aeon of -tivorer. Me Corn
Bill in particular, will be the most unfortunate
outset that Mr. Canning can make in the House
of Lords. It has been all along expected that
it would meet with a warm opposition there ;
and should it fail there, such a circumstance will
be treated as a defeat of the new Ministry, though
the measure is clearly one of Lord Liverpool's
Administration.—Morning Herald.

The Duke of Wellington intended, no doubt,
so read the King a great moral lesson, when he:
signified his contempt for his Sovereign's choice;
of Mr. Canning as Premier. His Grace, among
his other accomplishments, piques himself very
much OL his epistolary powers, and he threatens,
we understand, to publish the correspondence
which has passed between himself and Mr. Can-=
ning. Those who have had the fortune to pe-1
ruse any of the bona fide specimens of the corni
position of the Great Captain of the Age, will
will be able to form some conjecture how Mr 2
Canning should have given his Grace cause to
complain of his receiving his moral lessons in al
sneering manner. We burn with impatience to
ace his Grace in print. There is nothing like
letting a man tell his own tale. It is but justice,
however, to his Grace to add, that he assigns the,
displeasure at his conduct, which
lour y expressed by the King, as a reason tOr the
publication. It is not, then, the mere wish to
show the public how much he triumphed over
Mr. Canning in argument, that stimulates him to
print the correspondence, but a desire to demon-
strate to the nation that he was not guilty of
disrespect to his Royal Master. When the Seven
Sages suddenly withdrew the light of their coun-
tenance from Mr. Canning, they, no doubt, per-
,„aded themselves that he would be shunned as a
mall of desperate fortunes by all prudent and
considerate persons. They, no doubt, calcu-
tated a goad deal on the ominous appearance
w;hich the desertion of so staunch a placeman as
Lord Melville would wear. Good heavens ! the
case must be desperate indeed, when a Dundas
courts retirement. After so marked an expres-
sion of their opinion of Mr. Canning, they pro-
bably thought that people would be as unwilling
to be seen entering his residence as some other
places, which it is not proper to name. It does
not appear, however, that Mr. Canning's eleva-
tion has produced in the great and the ambitious
any unwillingness to communicate with Lime--
We see, from the Court Circular, that that de-
scription of persons soon found their way to his
door. It is somewhat ominous for the Seven
Sages (now reduced to six by the return of Lord
Bexley) that the only expression on the part of
the public has been that of wondemmene, at first,
at the unaccountableness of the movement, and
afterwards, that of satisfaction at the clever way
in which the door has been closed on the return
of Lord 'Melville, and of unbounded joy at
the retreat of the Chancellor. There is not a
Journal in the metropolis which would now
bestow a consolatory paragraph on them. One
Morning Paper hesitated a day or two, but
at last fairly gave them up as lost men.—
What a mighty Opposition that must be,
which finds no sympathy in any one class of
the nation ! They will, to be sure, be a most
independent Opposition ; for they have only
themselves to consult. Alas ! the party of the old
Tories seems destined to go out like the snuff of
a candle. We are curious, we confess, to know
where their strength lies. It does not certainly
lie in the Metropolis. From the letters we have
received from the country, the feeling seems, if
any thing, stronger against the Old Tories than
An intelligent

The Ministerial

which the Old Tories have. What an idea of
the British Constitution would be conveyed to
the world, by the circumstance of three or four
old stagers (for Mr. Peel keeps aloof from the
nest), of so little account in the country that
there is not a newspaper in London which would
even pay a parting compliment to them (and in
the whole country not above one or two), suc-
ceeding nevertheless in defeating both King and
Country, and carrying the Cabinet by storm! 0
no, things are not come to that pass yet. 'With
respect to the new appointments, all manner of
rumours are in circulation, as is usual on such
occaelons. It is certain, however, that Sir John

We have to announce another Ministerial ap-
pointment. Sir John Copley, Master of the
Rolls, has accepted the Seals as Lord Chancellor,
and thus, in all probability, has terminated the
political and judicial life of John, Earl of Eldon !
We can say, with great truth, our sincere wish
is, that its close heel been more dignified ; that,
instead of dropping back into private life, as the
baffled leader of a factious party, he had retired
with grace and honour, from that elevated scene,
where, for so many years, he had moved with
both. We should be ashamed of ourselves if
we could imitate the coarse and vindictive lan-
guage of one of our contemporaries, in speaking
of this venerable and distinguished Judge. We
should blush while our pen wrote the heartless
buffoonery, the mean and vulgar gibes, the ma-
lignant jocularity, of talking about the illumina-
tions and public rejoicings which would attend
his retirement from office. The base parasite of
rising power, to whose ribaldry we now allude,
would write the eulogy of the Lord Chancellor,
almost before the ink was dry in which he had
reviled him, with that same easy effrontery which
one day supplied the abuse of the Duke of Wel-
lington, the next his praise, and the third his
abuse again. Lord Eldon is a man of whom pos-
terity will speak with honour, when all the feuds
and rancour of party are forgotten, and when
only will be remembered, the purity, disinterested-
ness, and talents, of one of the greatest lawyers
' that ever adorned the Woolsack. This tribute
to his character we honestly offer, while we as
honestly declare, that the last act of his public
life has been one which must make his friends
wish lie had not lived to perform it. We turn
to his successor, and earnestly call upon him to
remember whom it is he succeeds. In all he
may do, lie will be tried by a severe test. The
recollection of this must be his constant im-
pulse in discharging the duties of his great of-
fice, so as to awaken no regret for the change.
If we look at this nomination in another point
of view, it furnishes materials for sincere ap-
plause. Our readers have not forgotten, we dare
say, what passed in the House of Commons on
the second night of the debate upon the' Catho-
lie Question ; and there were those who knew so
little of the manliness and dignity of Mr. Canning's
character, as to suppose the recollection of that
occurrence would influence the opinion he might
give with respect to the appointment now made.
Mr. Canning, however, has proved he is incapable
of listening to any suggestions but those which
Spring from a sense of public duty, in the decision of
a public question ; thus practically teaching to some
of his late colleagues, that mere personal considera-
tions ought not to be allowed to intrude, where the
general good should be alone consulted. We are
not prepared to say that he has any private feelings
towards the Master of the Rolls of an unfriendly
character;t
others have but
assumed
for the sake of argument,
ha
to be the fact, how well
he has instructed others in the course they should
have pursued! The Master General of the Ord-
nance has been offered to the Marquis of Anglesea,
and, we doubt not, accepted. Ths office ofCom-
mander-in-Chief remains yet vacant. It Was ru-
moured yesterday that his Royal nightie" the
Duke of Gloucester was to have it; while, accord.

The porter stated that he did not find Smith at his house ;
that he then went to the Three Nuns, and there found him ;
that he put the three tickets of the hampers into his hand,
and rpceived the carriage and porterage from him.
he denied having given Smith any intimation that the
hampers contained game, or that he himself knew the
fact at that time.

Forrester, the officer, stated that when Smith came to
the Rose and Crown, he turned the hampers over, and
said they were not for him ; that parties in the country
sometimes sent parcels to him whk! !ie knew nothing of;
but that if there was any letter in the inside
of the hampers, stating from xvhence they
came, that he would inform the witness whether he
knew them or not. A note was found in one of them, but
Smith denied all knowledge of the writer. The note
described the game as Long Tails, and stated that more
would he sent.

The Magistrate did not consider that the possession of
the game had been traced to the prisoner, and that, there-
fore, he felt bound to discharge him. He lamented
this exceedingly, for he had no doubt in his own mind that
Smith was a noted receiver of game, and that the present
14 pheasants had been stolen from the estate of some gentle-
man or other. The worthy Magistrate then deplored in
melancholy terms the severe loss that such gentlemen must
have sustained on this occasion. He added, that if the
possession had been brought borne to the prisoner, hewould
have fined him in the full penalty for every bird.
BOW-STREET.—A good-humoured looking 'fellow,
named John Moss, a journeyman saddler, was charged by
Mrs. Elizabeth Denham, with stealing a purse containing
14s. 6d., on Sunday morning.
The prisoner stated that he was on the most intimate
footing with Mrs. Denham and her husband ; that
he went into their room on Sunday morning, about
ten o'clock, and finding nobody in, and observing
the purse on the table, he, for a lark, took it up
and went away to a public-house, where he met some Mewls
to whom he told the circinnstance, adding that be' would
keep it for a short time in order to teach Mrs. Denhain
to be more careful for the future, and then return it. But
since the matter had gone so far, he was determined never
to joke any more, not even with his own father.

I believe he did it merely for a joke, but it was a joke I did
not much like.

The circumstance that operated most against the pri-
soner was his denying to the con■table and another person,
when he was apprehended, that he had the purse. His
master appeased and gave him an excellent character ; but
as none of his friends who were in the public—house came
forward, the cue was adjourned till "limn o'clock in the
evening.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--A charge of attempt-
ed assassination was made on Saturday against a man nam-
ed Thomas Bradfcrd.
Mr. Warne, Clerk to the Commissioners for the South-
ampton estate, and collector of rates for the same trust,
stated, that while he was sitting in his parlour talking to
his daughter, the prisoner knocked at the door that day
and inquired for him. He was shown into the parlour,
and said, " Mr. Warne, I am come to pay you a rate 1
owe you." " Very well, Sir," said witness, " sit down
and I'll give you a receipt." The prisoner sat down, and
put a basket on the floor which he had brought with him.
During the time witness was writing the receipt, his
daughter heard the prisoner say, " And I'll give you a re-
ceipt!" and instantly opening his basket, drew forth a pis-
tol, which he presented. at him. His daughter shrieked,
and the pistol, flashed in the pan. Witness rose from the
table, and had the presence of mind to seize the prisoner
by the throat, and detained him till he sent for Birchmore
and Beesicot, the constables, to whom he gave the prisoner
in custody.
The daughter of Mr. Warne confirmed her father's tes-
timony, and Birchmore produced the pistol, which was
loaded almost up to the muzzle, and which, had it gone off
must have burst.

Mr. CONANT inquired of Mr. Warne if he knew what
motive had actuated the prisoner.
Mr. Warne said he had not the most dietaut idea ; in
fact be had befriended the man, and thought he 'malt he
out of hie mind.
Mr. CoNaxT asked the same question of the prisoner,
but he declined giving any reason.
To a question from the Magistrate, how he came by the
pistol, and where he loaded it, the prisoner replied that he
bad had it fourteen years, and that it had been loaded all
that time.

Mr. COXANT animadverted on the heinous nature of the
attempt, and told the prisoner he must find very good hail
for his appearance at the Sessions, and give 48 hours' no-
tice.

The Magistrate inquired if the churchwardens were in
attendance, and being answered in the negative, sent for one
of them, a Mr. Hicks, who having appeared, was told by
his Worship that the defendant ought to be prosecuted.
Mr. Hicks said, that in consequence of the contrition
expressed by the defendant after the effects of drink had
subsided, there was no desire to proceed further in the affair.
The Magistrate said, that he had merely thrown out the
suggestion, and if the parish did not chose to prosecute, he
had done his duty; but whether or not the case went any
further, he hoped that it would be made public.
The defendant had been previously fined the usual sum
for being. in a state of intoxication, and had quitted the
office before the churchwarden entered.
Mr. Hicks now bowed and retired.

Mr. BRUCE resumed, and spoke of having had a
black servant, whose soul was "greatly devoted to
God, and who had a wonderful affection for his
(Mr. Bruce's) child, which child was now dead, and
he hoped its soul was in Some murmurs.)—
That servant's affection was so great for the child,
that she eventually lost her reason and died ; she
had continued most devout.—(Continued murmurs,
when Mr. B. learnt that the audience thought he had
expressed a rather curious hope abouthischild.)—He
said, I find I have made a little mistake ; I meant to
say that my child died, and I hoped its soul was in
heaven. He then mentioned the instance of a young
lady who had been in his family nine months, who
was equally devout with the black servant; but
whose intensity of devotion was such (he was under-
stood to remark), that it eventually affected her rea-
son. He afterwards spoke of the chapel destroyed
in Barbadoes—not by the blacks, but by our own
people. The blacks regularly attended the chapels.
There were two now in Barbadoes, and a third had
been determined on, towards which 6001. had been
raised, and two guineas given since he ascended the
scaffold from which he was now speaking.—(There
were repeated cries of " Turn round," "Speak out,"
&c.)—He observed, in reply, that he was sorry if
all could not hear him. Having gone into details,
he said, as there were many to speak, he would not
trespass further on their time; but he wished the
name of the Society to be altered, • to be called the
" Christian " instead of the" Wesleyan " Missionary
Society, as more expressive of their enlarged objects.
The Rev. --WAsitntmx said, that much had been
done by the MissionarieS, but to them no credit was
due; success bad resulted from the Divine Spirit
infused into-thezn, and from God's superintendence
and guidance of their labours.
Mr. MASON spoke to the like effect, and officially
described many of the Society's proceedings. .

MARYLEBONE.— Thomas Ward _Lewis, an old
man, dressed in shabby black, and having the appearance
of a worn-out hack of the law, was charged with the double
offence of stealing a watch from William Latham, landlord
of the George Inn, Acton ; and two silver tea-spoons and
a silver table-spoon, from Mrs. Hackeran, of Ealing.
From the evidence of Thos. Hinton, the servant of Mr.
Latham, it appeared that the prisoner first stole the glass
out of which he had been drinking from the George; which
was taken from him, and he was allowed to depart. The
watch was not missed until afterwards, and when he had
got clear off.
Mary Bowles, servant to Mrs. flaekeran, proved that the
spoons had been left by her safe in the parlour. Prisoner
called and inquired for her mistress, whom he had formerly
known, and was shown into it. Her mistress was then
with another lady. He was asked to partake of some re-
freshment, and did so. Her mistr had occasion to quit
the room for a short time, when, under pretence of being
thirsty, he requested to' have' a little table-beer. The lady,
who was on a visit, went to order it, and whilst sbe was
absent, he contrived to secrete the spoons. They were pro-
duced in Court, and satisfactorily identified by the deponent.
The constable, to whom prisoner was given in charge,
followed him to the bell Inn after he had committed the
second robbery ; when he found him just sat down in the
parlour and calling for tea. He demanded the spoons, and
prisoner gave them up, as he thought, and he returned to
the lady's house with them. But when he got back, it
was found that the prisoner had practised au imposition on
him, by giving him plated spoons, instead of the ones be
had stolen. Deponent ran back again, overtook him, and
placed him in custody. The prisoner's excuse, he said, on
asking him why he had committed the crime, Was, " that
he bad only intended to take the spoons for a twelvemonth,
when he meant to return them."

The Rev. Mr. Wurre (from New Zealand), said
that on arriving amongst the New Zealanders, he
found them the most shrewd, intelligent, and clever
people he had ever met with. On being able to
make myself understood, he continued, I particularly
questioned the Chief of one of the tribes, whose
name was George, about Jehovah, and impressed on
him the necessity of observing the Sabbath, of which
they had no idea. The Chief, George, said, "I do
not think you can tell me, White-e," (as he used to
call me,) " more about Jehovah than I know ; if you
can, White-e, prove it. We think that the arrival
of you White-es has done us much harm ; for since
your arrival we have had six weeks' dry weather—a
most remarkable unusual thing. and in consequence
of which our crops were nearly destroyed. If you
White-es can do us any good, produce rain for us."
I became much alarmed at their conduct, for they
nightly surrounded our house ; and I expected their
intention was to murder us, as being the cause of the
absence of rain. Such was (I afterwards learnt) their
intention. I frequently implored them to pray with
me for rain; at last they did so, and the rain came.
Then they became more disposed to listen to me;
and as they strictly observed the Sabbath, I, Mr.
Slack, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, got them, instead of
sowing seed, &c., to come and listen to us and hear
the word of God. We hoisted the British flag on
every Sunday, which was the signal that it was the
Sabbath. Those who were not within sight of the
flag, tied a knot in their apron strings each day, and
thus knew when the seventh returned. To get to
one place, where I had to preach, I had to cross a
river; and the natives would hurry down to its banks
to see who should get there first to carry me over.
On one occasion, four little boys carried me over,
one taking a leg, and another a leg, and the third and
foarth an arm each. Such was their anxiety to at-
tend to and hear the Lord's word. The Chief,
George, often asked me many shrewd clever ques-
tionse--one of which wee, what became of us after
death. I told him. I informed him that those who
prayed to the Lord, and fulfilled his commands, were
sure of going to Heaven ; while those who did ill
went to everlasting punishment. On one occasion
I spoke to him of the enormity of which he and his
tribes had been guilty in destroying the ship of
Captain Thompson, and afterwards murdering and
eating that person, and the whole of his crew, con-
sisting of seventy persons! I told him that they
would all appear against him at the day of judg-
ment. The Chief, George, was very much sur-
prised to hear this intelligence, and he asked me how
this could he—how the bodies could appear against
him, after having been so destroyed ? I told him that.
the souls would be collected together on the day of
judgment, and then they would appear against him. I
then invited him to pray, and George :lid so. I was at
New Zealand when this celebrated Chief died. I
was often with him, and he asked me whether Gore
was as favourable to them as well as to the white
ily
ridthe
people ? I told him, yes. This satisfietalinthdvmfar,iseennndodst

life. If I were made for any thing, it was a Mis-
sionary; and I hope I may live and die such, desi-
ring nothing beyond ending my days amongst the
New Zealanders.

Mr. MASON, Mr. JACKSON, and several others,
afterwards addressed the Meeting. It was then
stated from the platform, that if any young ladies
were desirous of becoming collectors, their attend-
ance in the vestrv-room four days hence would be
happily received. The sums collected, &c. were
mentioned. The chapel continued crowded to the
last. After a hymn, the music struck up the anthem
of " God save the King," in which the audience
loudly and fervently joined, and the Meeting then
separated at 10 o'clock.

SUICIDE AND INQUEST.—On Sunday morn-
ing Mr. Marshall, a person very much respected, of the
firm of Marshall and Nisbit, cut his throat, at his residence,
No. 39, Wigmore-street. Between eleven and twelve
Mrs. Nisbit, who is daughter to Mr. Marshall, heard a
noise, and upon going into her father's chamber, she found
him upon the floor, bleeding profusely, and unable to speak ;
his shaving apparatus was spread open upon his dressing
afterwards, and yesterday morning an
atinabigoluei and with the rasor he had cut his throat : he died
minutes t
was held upon his body, by lkir. Stirling, the coro-
ner, at the White Hart, in Wigencre-street, where, in ad-
dition to the above particulars, Dr. Southey stated, that
nine months ago the deceased had a fit of apoplexy,
.from
which he had not entirely recovered, and he was of opinion
there remained a strong pressure of blood ups?' the braiun.
His servant had also of late observad an asperity intha:
ner which was not natural.—The Jury broughteir
verdict--" That the deceased cut his throat while in it
state of temporary insanity."

When asked what he had to say, prisoner handed up a
written paper, which was read by Mr. Rawlinaon—
