The Fay of The „Alouniaiveers was produced on

familiar by its ilequent repetition at the Italian Opera,'
that it would be superfluous to enter into it here.—Ma-
dame VESTRIS and Mrs. T. HILL played the two prin-
cipal Pages very cleverly, and VINING was the repre•

The Piece was well received.

CITY I.I.IPBOVI,MENTS.

A General Meeting of the Proprietors of the South,
wark Bridge was held yesterday, at the Londen Tavern,
to consider a proposition submitted to the Company for
making a street from the Man-ion House. to the Bridge.
WM. WILLIAMS, I✓-q. M.P. in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, that a Joint Stock Company
propoied to apply to P.uliamer.t to form a new street,
called Greshambury, from the Southwark Bridge to
the Itoyal Exchange; and as the tolls of that bridge
would be considerably enhanced, the Company had
undertaken no toll should be placed on the street,
provided they were allowed to part►cipate i:► the Bridge
tolls. What they required would be one-third of the
excess of the receipts above 10,0001. for 80 years, but
never to demand more than 60001. per year. This pro-
posal was considered very moderate by the Directors,
and the plan such as would prove highly beneficial to
the Bridge proprietors. The Chairman went on to ob-
serve, that the street would be sixty-five feet wide in
such parts as the houses would allow, and that the
buildings to be erected should consist of Chatribers for
Commercial and Professional purposes. The incidental
expenses would be about 600,000/. to be raised by A
tontine; one half of the shales to be reserved for the
proprietors of the Southwark Bridge. The following
Resolution was then proposed :
" That this Meeting approve of the proposal made to them
through the Directors, and that the Court of Pruptietors be au-
thori*ed to fix their seal to anything relatiug to the New Street,
that shall meet the consent of Parliament."
A l'noeurvron said, that until the toll amounted to
11,5.001. the shareholders would not have seven and a
halt per cent. on their shares; and that he would not
Consent to any measure that would tend to render the
interest less than seven and a half.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the receipts last year did
not amount to 6000/. and that there was no probabi-
lity of an increase, unless some improvements were
made in the streets; and as the new Company could
have no claim to participate till the receipts should ex-
ceed 10,000/. the shareholders would have nearly seven
and a halt per cent. before the Company could get any
interest.—The Resolution was then put and carried,
with only one dissentient voice,.

THE NEW QUAY•

Yesterday a Vestry was held in the New Church, in
the Strand, for the purpose of taking into consideration
the propriety or adopting measures to oppose the pro-
gress of the Bill intended to be introduced iotri the
House of Commons, for erecting a (-Islay on the north
bank of the river Thames. It was stated by those who
sent the iequisiti,m to the Churchwardens, that the con-
templa7ed measure, if put into eiecution, would have
the effect of destroling the trade of the Strand ; at least
of impairing it in a cow iderable degree.
After some discussion, it was ultimately agreed that
a Committee should be appointed to watch the pro-
gress of the Bill, if it should be introduced into Par.
oament. It is the intention of the inhabitants of all
C:it. leading sueets from the Strand to London Bridge,
to petition the Legislatwe against any Bill that may be
brought is fur miking a Quay, in the apprehension that
the erection of such an extent of building would have
the effect of transporting the whole trade of the great
streets to the new Quay..

LAN` RfPORT.

•
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MARCH S.
SARRAOA V. SERLI, ESQ.
This was an action against the defendant, as Captain
of the Hyperion frigate, to recover the value of 40,000
dollars, which it was said had been entrusted t 6 his
care by the plaintiff, a South Americap merchaat,for the
purpose of bringing the said dollars from Lima to Eng-
land, but which dollars were never received hire: It
appears that the defendant had obtained leave from
Government to bring specie on board his vessel,and was
to receive two and a half per cent. commission for his
trouble, and having got that permission placards were
posted at Lima, announcing the permission, and the
plaintiff, through the agency of a man named Arisnien-
dez, residing at Lima, deposited 40,000 dollars, for the
purpose of being shipped for England by the dyperion.
Upon her arrival in England, the dollars were missing,
but there was no evidence to bring them to the possession
of the defendant.
The LORD CHIEF Justus said, that all the evidence
went to spew that Arismendez was the agent to the
plaintiff, and that he was not connected with the de-
fendant. It appeared, he thought, that Captain Serle
had, like an honest man, delivered in England all that
had been entrusted to his care at Lima, and that the
plaintiff must look to Arismendez for his loss.—The
plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.
His Lordship will not sit at Nisi Prius again until
the llth of April, when he will proceed with the Mid-
I dlesex causes.

.—They will labour with the most zealous of their id-
versaries to obtain the object in view, not indeed with
the rude rash head that would immolate when it pro-
fessed to save; but as' heir present legislative labourers
attest, by every -cautious, safe, and practicable measure'
which'shall qualify the slave for the enjoyment and full
participation of his civil rights. - But your petitioners
having b. en deceived, are entitled, they humbly contend,
to provide against further deception. The party, nay
the very individuals, within the walls of your Honour-
able House,who advocated the cause of the abolition in
the detestable traffic in human beings, paved the way
to their honourable success by a declaration that the
emancipation of those already in bondage formed no
part of their project. That which was then stoutly de-
tried, is now as openly avowed. Nor do your petition.
ers complain of that avowal; but heavy as the claims are
upon their f•rbearance, and great as arc their sacrifices,
nit will scarcely be expected that they shouldi crinfide ira
those who have thus abandoned their solemnprofessions.
The same individuals now call upon the nations to effect
the emancipation of the West Indian slave, and their
proposal is qualified by the equitable conditi•tn of tali
indemnity to every iuterest that may be injured thereby.
Your petitioners cheerfully accede to the proposal ; but
they pray your Honourable House that they may net be
made the instrument of accomplishing this desirable
object, by the surrender of their property, which,
wretched as it is, l'as been the tolerated, the approved,
the encouraged object of law, and sanctioned by all the
security that can be given to interests of the highest
and most respected character. That your petitioners,
though shackled with extreme wretchedness of con-
nexion with West India property, will not submit to
the imputation of any degradation therefrom. That
they are alive to the same honourable feelings, the same
moral obligations, the same sense of religious duties,
which their adversaries assume as the unnatural founda-
tion of their enmity.
Your petitioners therefore pray your Honourable
House, that the duty upon their exports may be re-
gulated by the scale as suggested by the Committee of
your Honourable House. That tea s exhausted colony
may be relieved from the partial impost of the 4.1 per
Cent. duty. The sum which has been levied upon
Madeira wine imported into this island, ever since the
declaratory Act of the 13th Geo. 111. ch. 12, may be
disposed of by Parliament towards the defence, protec-
tion, and security of this colony; being the objects for
which the said duty was originally imposed; and that
the interests of this country may not be abandoned to
any authority or influence which the constitution does
not recognize. And that no alienation of property in
this island may be sanctioned, but on the principle of
full and fait indemnity to every interest that may be
injueed thereby.
And your pedtioners shall ever pray, &c. (Signed)
JOHN W. D. WILSON, President of the Council.

• EDINBURGH, JANUARY 1.

•
Thia-morning,heing the first of the year, was, ac-
cording to custom, ushered in with noise and revelry,
but we are happy to say without any breach of the
public peace. From the outrageous scenes which re-
cently took place, considerable apprehensions were en-
tertained that the occasion might be productive of riot
and mischief, which the police were prepared instantly
to repress. Numerous -parties patroled the streets, andl
a powerful reserste, together with the High Constables,
were in readiness to act on emergency. Happily, how-.
ever, there .was no necessity for their interference.—
Everything passed off with good humour ; and there
were only two or three individuals taken into custody,
who were, from inebriety, incapable of taking care of
themselves.

CILASGIOW, JAN. 1.••••• N LW YEAtllt.....The high wind
and heavy rain which continued during the greater
part of last night, seem to have had no effect in de-
terring those from stirring abroad, whose inclination
and duty led them to welcome the approach of the
new year with the customary festivities and solemnity.
To judge from appearances, it bas really been a busy
night with multitudes. The streets, at an early hour
this morning, we, e more than usually crowded, and
we never saw so many people upon them, intoxicated,
upon any similar occasion, which proves that both
;Loney and whiskey were plenty, add used freely. Ex
cept diversion and noise, however, nothing cot cuirod to
disturb or annoy the inhabitants.

POLICE ISTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. John Britten; a young man of very gentlemanly appearance,
was brought up on the following charge—Mr. Pullen, Solicitor for
the prosecution, stated that the prisoner formerly lived as Clerk
with his uncle, D. Britten, of Basinghall-street, but in conse-
quence of some family disputes, he left that Gentleman's service,
shortly after which he called at his warehouse and took sway seve-
ral bales of goods, and for which the present charge of felony was
made against him.—Mr. Boma." who attended as Counsel for the
prisoner, said he was glad that he had an opportunity of giving a
very erent version of the story told by Dir. P. The fact was,
that during the time tiroprisoner was clerk to his uncle, the latter
borrowed of him 100:. and offered by way of security to assign
over to him a certain debt of 1701. for packing some goods which
then lay in his warehouse. Inconsequence of a family quarrel, the
prisoner left his uncle's service, and by the advice of his Solicitor,
took possession of the goods to bold them till his advances to his
uncle were repaid. giving a receipt for them. There was, therefore,
no felonious intention. The Loss M*voa immediately discharged
the prisoner.

PEDESTRIANISM.

Lieutenant Hemmerson undertook for 50 sov. to run a quarter
of a mile in fifty-eight seconds. It was known he had rt•n'tbe dis-
tance in a minute, and was backed at sto 4. The face was run
Lewisham' and so nicely won, that it was at first disputed, bin
ultimately declared a win.
A foot race was run on Tuesday last, between two Gentlensea
of Lads, for a small wager, on the Chapel-town road ; the dis-
tance being 200 yards, and one of the runners carryicg on his back
a young man of light weight, and having 100 yards start. &this
from the jockeyship of the Gentleman riding, or the bottom and
speed of the Gentleman ridden, they arrived at the goal several yards
before their antagonist.
Matcham, the celebrated runner from. Staffordshire, was matched
off hand at Doncaster Races, to go en foot from thence to Hollo-
way, 160 miles; in 48 hours. The pedestrian started at one o'clock
on Friday morning, and performed 30 milers in six hours. He ate
a hearty breakfast and proceeded on to Grantham,where he dined,
and he completed 90 miles at 12 o'clock at night, having rested al-
together not more than two hours. He travelled on at the rate or
something more than four miles an hour, and halted the last time
at Stevenage, leaving himself eight hours to do the remaining 32
miles, and he won with ten minutes to spare.
Randall's man and the Chicken Butcher ran a hundred yards is
Ilyde Park, on Monday evening, for a's a-stile. The former got
the start, and won by a yard. His Royal Highness the Du :e of
York accidentally witnessed the match, as he was passing thrwjh
the Park.

INTERESTING TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCOR
BUTIC COMPLAINTS.

July '2.sth, 1885, Pocklington, near York.
GENTLEMEN—In addition to the highly interest-
ing cases you have lately published from the City of Yott,
I have much pleasure in forwarding you the particulars of two re-
markable cures performed by your Ammosausso Dann in this
neighbourhood. Mr. Collinson, who resides at Kirby-under-Dale,
liast Riding of Yorkshire, was very much afflicted with s Scar-
' hutic complaint, which appeared in the form of large blotches over
his body, and was restored to perfect health, by taking only two
eleven chilling bottles of your Antiscorbutic Drops.
The other case occurred in a Child of Mr. R. Helsel, of Seaton
floss, also in the East Riding of Yorkshire; it was seised when
two years old, with a violent Scorbutic complaint, and had three
large oleo's in each atm ; every remedy failed in curing the dis-
ease, till they were fortunate enough to try your Drops, and I am
happy to say by perse.erance, the Child was completely cured. I
shall be glad to wormer any enquiries, and remain, Gentlemen, your

obedient Servant,

UNION-HALL

STRATAGEM TO Discovta THETT.-A Eishionably-attired yowl
man, of agreeable manners, named Joseph Hedge, whose friends are
said to be highly respectable people, residing ha the neighbourhood
of Chelmsford, was charged by his employer, Mr. Bunton, a eke-
mist and druggist, of High-street, Southwark, with steal:us some
silver from the till.

The prisoner, who was much affected on being placed at thebar,
was represented to have been in business, on an extensive scale, a
very short time back; when, owing to some unforeseen circurn.
stances or misfortunes, he failed. The prosecutor recei►ed him into
his employ a few weeks ago, and at first was highly satisfied with
his conduct and knowledge of the business. Suspicions were,
however, soon entertained that he was not strictly honest, but no.
thin could be adduced to criminate him. At length a scheme was
devised to detect him if he really was the guilty person who had
abstracted money front the till. It was proposed that some money
should be marked, with which two persons were instructed to go to
the shop and purchase certain drugs. This was accordingly done;
and that evening a constable was sent for to apprehend the prisoner
and search his pockets. The officer found him in bed ; and o,
examining his clothes he discovered two half-crowns and a shilling
which were sworn to be the same that bad been given for the
drugs purchased at the prosecutor's shop.
A Solicitor, who attended on behalf of Mr. Bunton, said, that
in consequence of the great respectability of the prisoner's friends,
it was wished not to proceed with the prosecution.
Mr. CHAKIIIRS, before whom the charge was made, observed,
that no man was obliged to bring a case of felony before a Magis-
trate; but if be did bring forward a charge, then it was no longer
at his option whether or not he should prosecute.
The witnesses were then bound over, and the prisoner was fully
committed for trial.

SIAM.

The Shannon free trader arrived last night from
Siam, and brings accounts of some interest from that
country. It would appear that the conquest of Mer-
Tavoy, and Mattaban, were well known at Bang-
ko•k, and that the Siamese authorities upon the frontier
were in amicable correspondence with the leaders of
the British detachment. The accounts from Bangkok
state that the King of Ava had addressed a letter to the
Siamese Monarch, intreating his assistance against—the
English, assuring him if he should render it, that all
past quarrels should be forgotten on his side, and, as a
proof of his ehcerity, that he would repair to Bangkok
in person, for the purpose of being present at the burn-
ing the late King's body. So unusual a proposition,
attended by so unusual a compliment, is said for a mo-
ment to have perplexed the Siamese Cnancils. The
Siamese, however, had finally resolved upon taking an
active share in the war by joining the English, and
with this view an army, said to amount to 35,000 men,
has invaded the Burman territory, while the Siamese
officers have received orders everywhere to assist the
English with boats, cattle, and other carriage. A per-
son bearing an English flag (we presume an inhabitant
of Tavoy or Mergui) had been seized st one of the
Siarnese outposts, and carried a prisoner to Bangkok.
This person, on being examined, stated that the English,
herever they came, hurt no one; that the inhabitants
of the places they had conquered were well satisfied,
and all returned quit:tly to their homes. This statement
gave so much satisfaction to the Siamese Government,
that they oidered the individual is question, with his
flrg, to be sent back to the English under a safe con-
voy, after making him handsome presents. The fidelity
of this individual, who was seen by several of the
English at Bangkok, who had been sent for to identify
the colours, was remarkabl-, for he refused, at all risks,
to part with his flag, telling the Siamese that they
should not have it but by taking his life.
The invasion of the Burman territory by the Sia-
mese, as now alluded to, must, we should presume,
with however little skill, energy, or activity, their ar-
mies may be directed, operate as a powerful diversion
in our favour, aad hasten the termination of the contest.
The conduct observed by the Siamese Government
towards the Shannon has been liberal and satisfactory,
and it is highly to the credit of her Commander, Offi-
cers, and crew, the latter British seamen, that, during
their long residence in Siam, no event took place to
disturb the harmony of their intercourse with the Siamese.

its present masters but a subject of financial einbar-
raunsents. It has involved them in a most expensive
contest, its trade is absolutely nothing, and even the
produce of its tin mines has decreased, while it, climate
has proved destructive to the troops and establishments.

N A NSION-HOUSE

Mr. liicherd Budd, a Gentleman well known on the Stock Ex-
change was charged with having assaulted his brother, who is a
man oeconsiderable fortune.
The complain:lilt stated, that ever since his father's death the
defendant bad never ceased to annoy him. Whenever they met In
the street the defendant threatened to knock his great beef head
off, came in front of the carriage and threatened his life, and that of
his wife; such was the violence with which those threats were
made, that the witness believed his life to Ise in d %tiger.
The defendant admitted, that he had attacked his brother, but
declared that the attack was a gentlemanly one. Ilia brother had,
he said, kept from 8,0004 to 9,0001. from him, to prevent him
from bringing it into the Stock.market, where he cnuld have made
ten per cent. of it, and that was conduct sufficient to irritate any
man.—Ordered to find bail.

day, and searched Hill's hoz, and found therein two plated candle-
sticks and glass ware belonging to the house, of the value of LI. In
the porter's room was found aGentleman's cloak which bad been mis-
sed from the coffee-room three day before; about a pint of rum,
which the porter admitted be bad stolen, and sonic book*, one of
which Mr. Williams identified, from its containing the hand-writ-
ing of his brother-in-law, the Rev. Mr. Buck. The prisoners were

off a %%lam] load of goods standing in Fleet-street, on Thursday
night, and assaulting the proprietor, when be attempted to stop him.
The prisoner produced a stall, and pretended to be an Officer, and
that he suspected there was something improper in the waggon.
The owner was awed at first by the skew of authority,but at length
summoned up courage to retake his waggon at all risks, and the
prisoner would then have gladly slunk away, but was detained. The
prisoner now pleaded intoxication.
