HIS M t.TEsII'S ENCOURAgMENT OF

BRITISH

Mr. Webb Hall, of Brighton, has transmitted to the
King a letter, humbly requesting his Majesty to ac•
cept a small present of cloth prod-treed from British
" Knowing," says Itlr. Hall, "the sentiments
a large portion of the Agricultural classes of your
Majesty's subjects, I may undertake to say. that your
Majesty's appearing in public in the really ilritish cloth
which I have dune myself the honour to lay at your
Majesty's Ger, would bind your Majesty's name still
closer to their hearts, and lead them to bless the day
when the most exalted and powerful Potentate in Eu-
rope, or the world, in a time of national difficulty, was
graciously pleased to set an illustrious example to his
Nobility and kingdom, of personal privation, if any
privation it could be, for the public good."
The following answer was returned to Mr. Hall:
" Lord L3nsdown presents his compliments to Mr.
George Webb Hall, and has the pleasure to acquaint
him, that having transmitted his letter, together with
the cloth which accompanied it, to the King, he has
commanded me to convey to Mr. Hall his Majesty's
acknowledgments for his dutiful attention, and to ex-
press the real satisfaction which his Majesty will feel in
wearing so beautiful a specimen of the cloth produced
exclusively from British wool.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A fashionably attired and rather handsome female. who gave the
name of Mrs. Parker, was charged by a jeweller, with wilfully and
maliciously destroying a gold watch his property.
The jeweller stated that Mrs. Parker called at his shop on Satur-
day evening for an ear-ring, which she had previously left to be re. I
paired. Upon being told that it was not finished, she flew into a
violent passion, in the midst of which she took up the gold watch
and dashed it to the ground; upon which the complainant was
compelled to give the Lady in chargeto the watchman. She, how.
ever, shortly afterwards recovered her sense of propriety, and was
sow willing to pay £4 ios. the amount of damage done to the watch,
and he was willing to accept it.
Mrs. Parker, who appeared any thing but of a hot temperament.
whilst at the bar, paid the money, together with one shilling for ber
discharge, and, dropping a curtsey to the Magistrate, quietly retired
from the office.

TRIALS IN FRANCE.

RIOTS IN THE Rua ►SAINT Dents, AT PARlS.—tile
Tribunal of Correctional Police was occupied on the
16th iost. with the cases of three men accused of being
concerned in the disorders which took place on the 21st
of November laht, in the rtse,st„,Denis, subsequent, of
.course, to the deplorable scenes which took place there
on the 19th and 20th.. The case of the first man was.
postponed for want of evidence. The second summoned•
to the bar was a stone mason, only 1.9 years of age,'l
named Laine. Two inspectors of police stated that the
public had-pointed ont the prisoner as having been one
of the persons who had insulted and hissed the gen-
dArmes that were on duty. The gendarmes were per-
fectly quiet. The prisoner declared that he was on
his way home when taken into custody, and that lie
knew nothing of. what he was charged with.
The King's Advocate, after adverting to- the facts
, which bad been pioved against Lane, concluded by
praying the Court for the' imposition of a fine of fifty
francs. Counsel for the prisoner pleaded-in hisfavoor,
that, if he had erred, he had been sufficiently panished
by nearly a month's imprisonment.
The Tribunal sentenced Laing to pay a fine of 2.5
(francs.

The third culprir, a yoong man named Pommeret,
had not surrendered himself, although bound over to
do so. Two witnesses proved that Pommeret had hissed
the soldiers as they passed along. The tribunal con-
demned him, par 4efaut irk pay a fine of 16 francs.

THEATRES.

DRURY LANE.
The Tragedy of Virginists, with MACREADT ES its
hero, and Miss Foots as the representative of the in

teresting Roman maiden, attracted an unusually
crowded audience here last night. The re-appearance
of the Lady after her tour in the country, the admired
excellence of hlxcacAnv in the part of Firginius, and
the recollection of their original joint success in the
piece, could not fail, indeed, to fill the house. MA..
MAW never entered into all the various passions which
. .

agitate the mind of the distracted father with more in-
tense feeling than last night, and be was never more
soccessful in moving the sympathies, and occasionally
the tears of his audience. Miss FOOTS continues to look
as lovely and interesting as when her first performance
of Virginia so powerfully aided the effect of the scene
by increasing the horror of the sacrifice. She is alto-
gether so fitting a representative of the character, as'
well in her acting as appearance, that it will be difficult
to find it again so well filled. WALLACE'S kiliSS and
the Dentatus of Coorna had their accustomed merit,

and the Play frequently drew down enthusiastic ap
plause; notwithstanding which some few independent
personages exercised their right of hissing it at the end,
amidst o►erwhelming marks of approbation.

We understand that the Assembly of the States-
General will probaLly be closed before Easter. Hence
it apprars that the debates on the Penal Code will be
deferred to another Session. Farther accounts have been
receiveJ from Batavia up to 15th November. They
contain an account of an expedition of the first column,
under the con.mand of Lieut. C.•lonel SoUewyn, to the
Dessal, Gamplony, and Banjuentenang, at which last
place Diepe Negoro was stationed for a considerable
time. They also report an expedition to Passer
Gedee. In the first expedition, which took place
the end of October, the enemy was driven (tom
both those Dessas, which were entirely destroyed.
The following are the only other particulars of any
consequence that we meet with in these reports :
some dfstingoished Priests of the family of Wiro
Negoro seem disposed to submit. The hostile Tom-
mongong Pringaloya, and his father, have submitted to
Major Britchkens, also very ably took advantage Of
circumstances to induce them to this resolution.—
According to the latest accounts, the sickness at Djocjo.

CONSECRATION OF TUB -tut* lA. WARD.

The cereasestky of the CoriOdation or the Rev.
Ward, the laxly iptiointed Orslop of &dor and M aa,
*As performed yestViday at Whitehall qapel. Aci n
siderable congregaiddri; evidently of tb, most respect-
able order in society; Were asserobled in the body of
the Chapel soon after eleven Alock, when a voluntary
was very ably elecutvd 'neon the organ. Durihg this.
performance, the soldieri entered, and, with their re-
spective officers, occupied the galleries of the Chapel;
the military band sat in the orgah loft. At a quarter
past eleven the band struck up, when the Archbishop
of York, and the Bishops of London and Rochester, in
their full robes, entered the Chapel, preceded and fol-
lowed by the usual attendants, and took their places
on the right hand side of the Chapel, near the altar.'
The Rev. Dr. Ward followed soon after, attehded by
his legal adviser and another Gentleman, and took his
seat in a pew below that of his brother Prelates.—
When the music had ceased, the Morning Prayers were
read by the Officiating Minister. The Communion Ser-
vice was performed by the Archbishop of York assisted
by the Bistn,ps of London and Rochester, the one read-
ing the Epistle, the other the Gospel.
A Sermon was preached expressly on the occasion by
the Rev. Dr. Kenney, from Acts v. ver. 42. " And daily,
in the Temple, and in every house, they ceased not to
teach and to preach Joins CHRIST." After the Sermon,
the Ceremony of Consecration wok place. The elected
Bishop, vested with his rochet, was presented to the
Archbishop of York, at the Altar, by the Bishops of
London and Rochester, when the Archbishop desired
the King's Mandate for the c nsecration to be read.
.The oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy were then ad-
ministered, after which, hav-if..g put on the test of the
Episcopal habit, Dr. Ward received upon his head the
hand of the Archbishop of Y k, and those of the Bishops
01 London and Rochester. The Consecration Prayers
were then read by the Archbishop, when, the blessing
having been pronounced, the ceremony ended.

THE LATE BRUNSWICK THEATRE.
London, England, 1828-03-10

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

MARCH B—l have ken ta-day the ruins of the
unfortanate Brunswick Theatre, and find that the walls
remaining are suh,t tribally protected by scaffolding,
and it is uncertain whether they will be taken down, at
least before the termination of the Inquest. Some of
the upper boxes are to be seen, and part of the gallery is
hanging over them. The two drays its the middle of
the street are ch aked up with rubbish, and part of the
wheels only are seen. Eight opposite houses, damaged
by the fall, are shut up. On conversing with the fine
boy saved, as formerly mentioned, when the whole front
of his father's house (a baker's) was laid open, he states,
that he first heard several loud cracks, and looking out
saw it bulge. when he threw himself between some sacks
of flour, and thus escaped. Eath end of the street in
which the Theatre is situated is blocked up with boards,
and doors introduced, to allow those connected with the
street to pass and repass—officers are stationed at each.
Great part of the scenery is removing, and some persons
seen taking sketches of the awful ruins.

THE LATE DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AT
WINCHES ESTER.

In our last week's paper we stated that the number
of bodies that had then been found amounted to thirty.
four. Three boys were drawn out of the water on the
following day; And on Sunday the river was let off, to
the 'item of about four feet of water, when another

boy,'tbe son -of William Kirkham, a smith, at the Old
Quay, was discovered a few yards below the spot where
the flat mined over ; making the total number found
to be thirty.eight. Men were employed the whole of
the day in dragging ; and in the course of the afternoons
many thousand persons we. e present to witness their
operations. At one time twenty thousand individuals,
at least, were standing on the banks of the river, and
lon Regent Road, near the bridge.
Several of the bodies were interred on Sunday and
Monday, but the greater number were buried on Tues-
day afternoon. The streets of the town certainly did
present scenes of real woe. Lnag trains of mourners„
many of them absorbed in the deepest grief, were to be
seen passing along in almost every direction. Siz per-
sons were interred at St. John's Church ; six in Hulme;
and seven or eight in the New Burial Ground in
Rusholme Lane.
The exertions of the medical Gentlemen on this me-
lancholy occasion entitle them to the warmest praise.
They promptly attended the fatal scene, and employed
the utmost of their skill on behalf of the unhappy suf-
ferer s.—Wheeler's Manchester Chronicle.

From the torn which the deliberations of the Sectionsof
the Second Chamber hive taken on various questions re-

of the Members who have examined this important
question is of opinion, that in the present state of
society, the penalty of death cannot be abolished,
bat that many of them have expressed a desire
that it ilssittld be very rarely infected. The ma-
joeity hat also declared for the retaining of the penalty
of branding) but only under certain regulations. On the

the Tear 1825. had applied to the defendants, their
bankers, to discount the above bills of exchange, to-
gether with several others, and they had also applied for
an advance of 3,0001. on the security of some freehold
property. The bills were left in the bands of the defendants
without being endorsed by Hobson and Co. who were
unable to procure the loan of the 3,0001. on account of
some difficulty with respect to the title deeds of the
freehold property. Shortly after, a commission of
bankrupt was issued against them, and they being then
largely indebted to the defendants, the latter insisted on
keeping the bills in part liquidation of their balance.
Lord TENTERVEN said, the question for the Jury
to determine was, whether the bills had been ee
posited only conditionally until it was ascertained
whether the security of the freehold property could
be provided, or whether the defendants were under
the circumstances authorised to keep them absolutely.
—lf the defendants had taken them on account
of the balance due from Hobson and Co. why did they
not call for an endorsement? That was a qUestion
which it was material for the Jury to consider.
.The Jury retired, and were absentnearly three hours,
when they came into Court, and said they could not
agree on their verdict; they wished to know whether
they might give a verdict for a less sum than that claimed?_l
Lord TENTERDEN--1 can say nothing as to that,
Gentlemen ; you must agree on your verdict.
The Jury again retired, and after being absent about
half an hour, returned with a verdict for the plaintiffs—
Damages, 1,1931.
The C urt, alter disposing of one other cause, of no
public interest, adjourned to Monday, 14th April next.

Friday evening Mr. WALICRR spin repeated his in-
teresting lecture on astronomy, illustrated and made
exceedingly simple by the vast machinery employed,
showing " this brave o'erhanging firmament fretted
with golden fire," the heavenly bodies, moving in
their respective cubits round their common centre of
gravity, with the attendant satellites of each. The dif-
ferent stages of the moon's progress sound the earth,
exhibiting her different phases, the eclipses, kc. are
clearly demonstrated ; with the causes of the tides, in
which Mr. W. accounts for the exceptions advanced.—
The grand appearance of a comet, which traverses the
entire machine, advancing to and receding from the
sun, with its motion accelerated or retarded, according
to tlle law of planetary motion—many of the planets
individually described, and a representation of the ap-
pearance of the fixed stars, &c. all contribute to delight
land instruct the young, and teach them to "Look from
Nature up to Nature's GOD." We were happy to tee
an elegant and numerous audience attentively listening
to and enjoying this truly intellectual treat.

LAW REPORT.
COURT OF CargeETV't. limiest 8.
IN RR IRELAND, • LUNATIC.

Mr. TEMPLE applied for the order of the Court upon
the Committee of a lunatic, that he might execute a
conveyance of an estate purchased by the petitioner of
the lunatic for 2,3501. before the commencement of his
lunacy. The purchase money had been paid, and the
petitioner let into possession. The usual reference had
been made to the Master to settle the conveyance, and
upon the deed so settled being tendered to the Com-
mittee, he refused to execute it, and thereupon the
present petition became necessary.
Mr. PEMBERTON opposed the petition, on the ground
that an action was now pending, and likely to be soon
tried, which involved some of the facts of the case.—
The petitioner had taken an assignment of a lease of
certain property, on which there was an arrear of rent
due: of this fact he had notice. The Committee dis-
trained For patt of the rent. The petitioner had reple-
vied that distress, and the question was to be tried at
the next York Assizes. He therefore submitted that
under these circumstances, and until the result of the
action should be known, the Committee ought not to be
called upon to execute the conveyance.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the petition to stand
over until after the trial.

SWANEY V. HARMER AND OTHERS.

Mr. HORNS was about to open this case, the object of
which was to obtain a reference to the Master, to in-
quire respecting the rights of some infants who are con-
cerned in the cause.

Mr. KNIGHT appeared for some of the defendants,
and was quite willing that the reference to the Master
should be made at once. It was the better course to
pursue, he was convinced; and as it must come to that
at last, he was desirous in the first instance to save the
time of the Court, and the public exposure of the cir-
cumstances of the case.
Mr. Houma said nothing should induce him to desist,
unless the other side agreed to his terms.
Mr. KNIGHT said he was not induced to make the
offer he had done from any fear of Mr. Horde's case.
He knew that he had not the shadow of a case, but he
did it to prevent patties being harassed and dragged
through the mire.
The reference was therefore directed by consent, and
the question of costs reserved.
The Loan CH Atrcaut.on rose at half.past twelve, in
consequence of the absence of several leading Counsel,
who were engaged at the Cockpit.

hid been afflicted for the last seventeen years with a dry scurvy,

Peat beat end extreme pain. The scales multiplied to such a 'de-

I was induced to try your valuable medicine, which I am happy to
say gave me the greatest relief, and before I had taken dime of

free from blotch or-scale as ever I Was in my life, and enjoy perfect
health. As the publication of*, letter in the Bolton Express we;

VISNNA, Masai 11.

Since the news from London, of which we spoke the
day before yesterday,' M. de Tatischeff, the Russian
Amba.sador, has received a courier from St. Peters.
burgh, who is said to have brought dispatches, in which
the Court of Russia expresses its views respecting the
hatti.schei iff of the 20th of December, and the late de-
plorable events at Constantinople. It is affirmed that
these dispatches, like the preceding, are of a pacific
nature; and the Emperor declares again, that according
to the Convention of the 6th of July, and in conceit
u ith the Allies, the further measures for the accom-
plishment of that Treaty, and the maintenance of the
general peace of Europe, ate indeed *to be executed ;
out that the Cabittet of St. Petersburgh is resolved to
wsit for the opinion of the Cabinets of France and Eng.
land respecting the late events. Fresh instructions have
been sent at the same time to M. de Ribeaupierre, at
Trieste. This news, which nobody would believe a few
days ago, because the insulting language of the batti-
scheriff and the closing of the Basphorus, which is ex•
tremely injurious to Russia, gave reason to fear quite
contrary arrangements, caused great sensation on the
'Change yesterday, which cannot be lessened by the
want of news from Constantinople; bemuse the accounts
ham Bucharest, published by the Qlooroer, are calcu.
fated to justify hopes of peace which appeared inadmis-
sible a few days ago.—Goeette of Args&q.
