open at Brussels is very brilliant. It consists of above 4,000 ankles,
which have been sent by above 1,000 artists and manufacturers; the
articles offered amount to above 6,000. This is a greater number
than in the preceding exhibitions, and is a proof of the
mode within these few years. The number of visitors to tar.
bition, among whom are many foreigners, is very great.

BIOGRAPHY.

The retirement of favourite actors from the stage, perhaps occa-
sions more regret to the public than many occurrences of more ap-
parent importance ; and when, after such retirement, the individual
has been, for several years, out of sight, and, in mine degree, out of
mind, the announcement that he or she has quietly slipped sway
from the larger stage of life, occasions a recurrence of painful remi-
niscences to all; who remembered the time when the fun and frolic of
the deceased kept thousands in a roar. Moralists of the Haifa-
cult school would easily account for this on selfish principles, and
probably quote some well-known lines from Swift. The play-
going time of life is generally the tine of youth and hilarity
with all; and, perhaps, people recollect the parties they have
accompanied to the theatre, and what took place there,
much longer and more" distinctly than many other tranme.
dons of their life. The celebrity of actors, and the parts
they take with most erect, form a kind of point to which a
string of recollections are attached, according to the doctrine of the
association of ideas, which is the basis of all the systems of artificial
memory, with which the Baron Felnagle, and others before him,
have amused the public. Whenever we bear of a poor actor drop.
ping, we recollect the pmt with regret, and the past introduces, in
general, some serious reflections as to the future. But our Olio.
sophial reverie is running to seed. It has been occasioned by ob.
serving the announcement in the pipers of the death of Mrs.
Goodall. This Lady, in the recollect ion still of many, once command.
ed a considerable share of histrionic celebrity. She bad been brought
up to the Drama ; for her father was manager of a provincial theatre,
we believe, at one time, that of Bristol. Her father's name was Stanton;

and the subject d our Memoir, as Miss Stanton, was much admired,
both for her personal charms and dramatic talent. When perform.
stag at Bristol, a young Lieutenant in the Navy, of the name of
became smitten with her; and withtbe ardour, not unusual
la his age and profession, at once made her his wife. Under her new
name, she came out at Drury-lane Theatre, in Rosalind, and per.
hewed it with so much ability is to ensure her becoming at once a
public favourite. Perhaps the interesting character of Rosalind was
never performed with more effect ; for her form was considered of
the most graceful description, and none that ever assumed male at-
tire on the stage was thought her superior. Her Sir Harry Wildair
was a great favourite, and there are many portraits of her extant in
that character. Some have supposed such applause fur beauty
en culottes, deteriorates the idea of her female charms ; but that is
a mistake, for though admired in a male attire, the admiration did
ass proceed from any really masculine characteristic, but from the
mood her movements, and elegant symmetry of her person. An
unfortunate dispute with Mr. John Rernble, about a past being
assigned to her which she considered derogatory to her rank on the
stage. produced a controversy in the public papers of that day, but
soon terminated amicably. When Colman's play of " The Moun-
taineers" was first acted at the Haymarket, she was retained to as-
sume male attire.
She retired from the stage for several years t her husband having ap-
plied himself to the merchant service and having been successfuL He
was a man of considerable talent, great enterprise, and, as comman-
ds: of a small vessel which sailed to the West Indies, frequently
distinguished for gallantry ; for a display of which during that pe-
riod of the French revolutionary war, many opportunities occurred.
From making many voyages to St. Domingo, he waidnll known to
Christophe, Emperor of Hayti, who did every thlrg to cultivate
his connection. He came to Europe frequently to transact business
of importance for the Black Emperor, who, through him, teemed
ambitious to rear a little navy. Goodall wu appointed Admiral,
and a spirited, gallant young man, of the name of M'Culloch,
who bad been Goodall's mate, was appointed as the next in com-
mand. An engagement took place, and M'Cullocb, the captain,
lost his life. Christophe was liberal to Goodall ; and, about this
time of Mrs. Goodall's history, she lived in affluence, and was much
respected by a large circle of friends. Her family was numerous; one
of them was always left with Christophe as a kind of hostage

foe the performance of the commission with which the admiral
was entrusted—a piece of policy in Christophe which argued con.
siderable tact. Goodall, after this, was induced to form a awn-
menial establishment in the City, which proved unsuccessful, and
lost bim his hard earnings. He then went again to sea, and ob-
tained t►e command of au of the Post-ollice packets to the West
Indies, in which situation he died a few years ago, The latter
years of his life were unfortunate ; and some errors, on the part of
Mrs. Goodell, gave rise to a vexatious suit in the Courts of Law,
into the particulars of which we decline to enter. The subject di
ear biography has now, for many years, lived in retirement, and been
supported by afectionate children. She was of a good disposition,
and most pleasing manners.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS. JULY 12.
Lord 131ANT1.11Y 100 k the oaths of allegiance to hi

Majesty.
The Duke of Hucittxttotast, as Lord High Steward of the House-
hold, and the Earl of Jusrr, as Lord Chamberlain, brought up
his Majesty's answer to the Address from both Houses of Pali.-
meat, respecting Sir Jonah Barrington, informing their Lorthitip4
that his Majesty would give orders for the removal of Sir Jonvii Bat.
rington from the Aloe of Judge of the Admiralty Court of Ireland.
The Sugar Duties' Bill, and the Exchequer-bills' Bill, were se-
verally read a third time, and passed.
Earl GREY presented a Petition against Slavery, from Salem
Chapel, Leeds.
Sir A. GRANT and others, from the House of Commons, brought
up the Administration of Justice Bill, with its amendments, as
agreed to by their Lordships.
The House then adjourned at Six o'Cleck, until to-morrow morn-
ing, at Half past Eleven o'Clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 22.
Lord F. L. U()WER brought up his Majesty's answer to the
Address for the removal of Sir Jonah Barrington, stating that hii
Majesty would direct the removal of Sir Jonah from the situation of
Judge of the Admiralty.
The SPEAKER called the attention of the house to certain pro-
positions which he should make, respecting the standing orders re-
lating to private bills. The first was, that the standing order re.
specung the fees in the private bill (dice should be abolished, and
that a new scale of fees should be substituted. The second was,
that the period between the first and second reading of private bibs
should be the same for Irish bills, as it was tor English and Sewell
bills. The period allowed for the former was 21 days. The period
allowed in Scotch bills was seven days, ar.d in English hills, three
days. He did not see why information could not be as easily
tamed from Ireland as from Scotland. lie should therefore propose
that the period allowed for the second reading of Irish private
bills should be seven days, instead of 21. The third proposition
was, that in private bills respecting turnpikes, the parties should
produce a map or plan on a scale of three inches, as a minimum for
each mile. The last proposition was, that members connected with
private bills should refer as often as convenient to the standing orders
relating thereto, and for their convenience he should direct that these
orders be reprinted. These propositions were put severaly, and
agreed to by the house.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL.
On the motion that the amendments made by the lords in dill bill
be taken into consideration,

Sir J. SC AR LETT rose to contradict a report which went abroad
that by those amendments the whole tenour of the Bill had beer. al.
tered. The learned member then explained the nature of the amend-
ments, which, he observed, had made no material alteration in the
bill, Win* merely formal or verbal, with the exception of one,sthich
went to dispense with the attendance of the Chief Justice in bancu,
which lie (Sir James) had deemed indispensable. Another of the
amendments was, to keep the King's warrant for the permission of
Judges to sit in baneo out of Term, in operation for the next va.
cation which the bill originally went to abolish entirely, k being
objected to by the bar in general, and also by the Judges themselves,
but he had no objection to retain it for another Term, as some of the
Judges required it. The honourable and learned member having
detailed the other amendments, concluded by observing that
no matetial alteration had been made in the bill. He considered it
the most important measure that had for many yeara passed that
Mouse,•whether as reprded the administration of justice, or the di.
minution of patronage which the Government would thereby ex-
perience.
Mr. W 1 NNE concurred with the hon. and learned member ir.
the last observations which fell from him, but with regard to the
amendment, he thought that the house at large should have an op-
portunity of considenng them. Members had no notice that the
amendments would be taken into consideration this day. Be oh.
jected in general to sufficient time not being given to take into con.
sideration amendments made in bills in the other house. The house
should get rid of the degradation of being obliged to submit to
sue* treatment.

lifr. DAVENPORT concurred In the observations which fell
from the right hon. gentleman, and hoped that some member
would introduce some measure, whereby the house should be pro-
tected from being exposed to such a degradation. It was rather
'ng that there should be so little coincidence la the opinions
or Irstailaw.officers of the Crown in both houses, as to induce the law-
' officers In the other house to make such a material alteration in the
bill as to strike out one clause altogether.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL denied that the house was sub.
jut to any degradation from the bill in question, for it was per-
fectly competent for the house to agree in those amendments, or re-
ject them. The boo. and learned gentleman then entered into a
defence of the amendments made, and observed that there could be
no serious inconvenience in omitting the clause alluded to. as a bill
would be brought in the next session to make a provision fur that
to which the clause rekrred.
Mr. /lIABERLY expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of
the law officers of the crown in this instance.

Mr. SPENCE expressed his regret that the clause in question
had been removed, as it had given much satisfaction to all parties.
He should not object to the amendments, as he had a pledge front
the Attorney General that the subject to which the clause omitted
referred, would be taken into consideration in the next session.
Mr.WYNNE did not object to the taking of the amendments
into consideration ; be merely complained of the little time which
was allowed for considering them. Should he have the honour of a
seat in the next Parliament, lie would introduce some measure to
prevent such inconvenience in future. He tho..ght that the House
of Lords should be called on to assign &reason tor their conduct in
delaying the bill.
Sir R. PEEL objected to such a mode of proceeding. He was
afraid that the other house would assign but a bad reason. He
thought that the better mode, would be to wait until the next ses-
sion, and then introduce some measure respecting the subject. On
the whole, he trusted the house would deem it expedient to agree in
the amendments, and not retard the by pursuing a course
which would require a conference lila:otter house.
Lord J. RUSSELL complained of the course pursued by the
other house, but thought it better not to oppose the amendments at
present, particularly as the Attorney-bleneral had pledged himself
to introduce a measure in the next session to remedy the deficiency
arising from the omission of the cause complained of.
After a few words from Sir R. PtEt. and Mr. arkweuTOßT, the
amendments were agreed to.
LS? ItETTORD.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, a velum was ortlettd of
the expenses relative to the East Retford SUL
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid on the table
a return of the number of the British ships and tonnage.
The house adjourned at a Quarter past Six o'clock.
