SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.

Yesterday, the Surrey Quarter Sessions was held at
Guildford, for the purpose of considering a variety of
business connected with the management of the County,
and principally the notice of motion given by Mr.
JOHN J. BRISCOR, the Magistrate, to consider the entire
question of the tread-wheel, as an instrument of punish-
ment and prison labour.
At eleven o'clock, Lord Mumuerou took the Chair, assisted by
Lord &mos, Baron de Twits, the High Sheri( of the County,
Mr. Homan Susanna and Mr. DiXl6O/1, the County Members ' • the
Honourable H. G. Saunas, Sir TUOMAS T 01170316 and nearly fifty
other Magistrates of Surrey.
After the usual routine business of swearing in the Grand Jury,
reading theProclamations,swearing In the constables, and making the
different returns from the jails within the jurisdiction of the County
wu disposed of, a long desultory and uninteresting discussion took
place relative to the case of Mr. O'Callaghan. At five o'clock, Mr.
&woe rose to make his promised motion, which was seconded by
Mr. &zeta, but opposed by others of the Bench. Mr. Banco*
afterwards withdrew his original Swaim, and moved “ that a
Committee of Magistrates be appointed to inquire into the divers
cases he had mentioned, and to deed. upon Awls by confronting
all the parties concerned in the circumstances stated to have taken
place in the Howes of Correction within the County."
This motion was carried, and a Committee appointed to eon.
duct the inquiry into the specific abuses to which Mr. Baum re.
!erred in his statement.

to record the lose, on the morning of Friday se'nnight, of the brig
Fortitude, of Swansea, together with Captain CUSIDY, his wife, two
tbildren, servant girl, and the whole of the crew, snaking in num-
ber ten persons, who have unfortunately perished ! The Fortitude,
in company with several oche:vessels, sailed from Newport (Pim.
mouthsbire) for Waterford, on the preceding day, and, late In the
evening, the wind having veered to the Westward, and blowing
bard, the endeavoured to make for Penarels Roads, but in thentp
tempt ran on time dangerous shoals called the Nass Sands. At
four o'clock she was •observed from the land, without a sigh yam•
von on board, the sea breaking over her in a tremendous wow,
ana.by seven nothing was to be seen save the bating wreck. The
body of Mrs. Cmwv, and those of one of her children and servant
girl, were washed on shore shortly after the melancholy event; but
those of the remaining unfortunate sufferers have not yet been
found. It is with horror we have to add, that when the body of
Dime. was recognized by her brother (from Swansea), it was as-
certained that her pockets were cut off, and that her ring had been
taken off her finger! Her ear.rings, however, being covered by Is
hair,disorderedescaped the notice of these diabolical wretches.

tHE THEATRE&
THE KING'S THEATRE. "
The popular Opera of La Donna del Zap was pro-
duced last night, for the first time this season. Madame
Rota% Di BEGS'S shewed last night that the laurels of
her Elena were still green, and even added something
to the wreath. Her acting was passionate, graceful,
and correct; her singing finished to the last de-
gree of delicacy. There is scarcely anything in which
GA RCLA is finer than in Rhoderic Dhu. The fiery tur-
bulence of the chieftain gives legitimate scope to the
utmost powers of that great singer, and he exercises
them in a manner which comes up to the enthusiasm of
the character. Cuatout has identified himself with the
part of Jaws by his chaste and beautiful singing of
Aurora ah sorgerai alone. He sang admirably through-
out the Opera, and in that singularly fine air he was
encored. Madame Vaarats was the Makolm
PORTO supported the father with his usual ability.
