CHINESE LADIES

Hating been favoured witla an interview previous to the room
being opened to-day, we feel great pleasure in calling the attention
of the Public to the Chinese Ladies, at 94, Pall-Mall. The grace-
ful manners of these females, which evidently bespeak them of the
class to which they are tepresented as belonging, together with the
richness and elegance of their costume, give an impression of re-
finement , which adds much to the general interest excited by some
of the mare striking of their national peculiarities. The interest
was farther heightened by the youngest of the Ladies singing one
of their national songs or ballads to a simple plaintive air, accom-
panying herself with an instrument resembling the guitar. The
room is fitted up so as to give a complete idea of the furniturt and
internal decorations of the Chinese, among which are specimens of
the productions of some of their most celebrated living artists. On
the whole we feel persuaded that the public curiosity will be at
once strongly excited mod as amply gratified by the opportunity af-
forded of becoming acquainted, personally, with many of the cha-
racteristic features of that extraordinary people.

UNION HALL..

The two men, Edmonds and Smith, who were fitiAlv cif irnlnid
at this office a few days age for burglary, were yeatcrday
up on another distinct charge of the same nature. It seines,
before the prisoners were apprehended, scarcely a night p•lNsed 01..;
houses in Lambeth Were net broken into and robbed; since tl,ey
have been lodged -in jail, however, the inhabitants of the pati.ts
have been free from nightly attacks on their property. With re-
spect to the present case, it appears that the house of Mr. Clarke,of
Melina-place,Lainbeth, was broken into on the morning of the t Gth,
and several ankles of plate, Ike. were stolen, and also two silver
thimbles. When the prisoners were on the Lust occasion brought
before the Magistrates, two silver thimbles were found in their
possession.. This fact was noticed in the newspapers, and upon
Mr. Clark examining them, be found they belonged to some part of
his houselsisirit A chisel which was found in the kitchen, was
identified by a tradesman, who said he sold ft to Smith the day
before the robbery was committed. The thimbles in quetion were
found In the pocket of the woman who cohabited with Edmonds.
Mr. Clarke also said, that on the morning after the rabbet y was
committed, be saw the prisoners standing at the corner of Oakley-
street; he looked at them earnestly, and they then ran away.—The
prisoners made no defence, and they were committed for triaL

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Captain Ratingen, of the Venus, Leith smack ; and J: Mackay,
tke Steward, appeared to give evidence, touching the death of
Robert Boyd and John Kinghorn, two of the crew of that vessel,
who were drowned. It appeared from the testimony of several
of the crew, that at the time of both accidents, the vessel
was sailing at a quick rate before the wind; that she was put
about with the greatest promptitude, and that in one case two
casks were thrown overboard, but proved useless. It further
appeared that fhe stern boat was lost eleven months'ago ; that the
Captain bad neglected to provide another • that the jolly boat was
lashed to the deck, and some casks lashed to her, in such a situa-
' don as would have taken a considerable time to release. It was the
opinion of the several witnesses, that had a boat been launched in
time, both lives might have been saved.
The Loan MaToa observed, that from the evidence, it appeared
that the falling overboard in both cases was purely accidental; and
though the conduct of the Captain, in being unprovided with boats
in ease of accidents, was far from commendable, yet he did not see
sufficient to call on him to give bail. He hoped end trusted, how-
ever, that should he ever again go to sea, he would be careful to
provide every requisite in case of accidents, otherwise a dreadful
responsibility would hang over him.
His Lordship sympathised with the father of the drowned lad,
but said'he hoped he was satisfied with his decisiuu. The poor
man bowed, and retired.

A baker, having first made an affidavit, begged to call the atten-
tion of the Loan MAYOR to an object which was of the greatest
importance to the trade as well as to the public. He had now
sworn that he had been to several weight and measure makers, and
could obtain no measures, dor could any be supplied for several
weeks, so great was the demand. The Act rendered all who used
other measures liable tea penalty. Now the inquest was going
about and he wished to know how he was'to act?
The Loan-Matron said, no proceedings would be taken where it
could be proved that the legal measures could not be procured.

The comroencernent of a new year enable, us In pre

for the Clyde:

From this statement it appears that the reduction of
duty on Tobacco has increased the consumption about
one-third, while the retention of the former duty on
Rum has decreased the consumption of that article to
nearly an equal extent.

But the preceding statements give us 00 unfair and
partial view of the subject. To place it in a fairer and
more proper point of view, we must contrast the Im-
ports of 1824 and the stock on hand at the commence.
ment of thst year, with the Imports of 1825 and the
stock on hand at !he commencement of that year:—

But from this we have to deduct the increased exports
and the increased consumption. What the latter is we
are not yet able to ascertain exactly, but taking it in
the same proportion on the imports as at Glasgow,
Four per Cent. the increased consumption will be--
Increased Consumption—Bags . 34,000

which deducted from 160,483, leaves 112,488 bags as

the tnirket,'ind which latter it must be recollected has,
on account 'of conibinations and other circumstances of
a like unusual nature, been more than usually dull
during the greater past of the year which has 'just
closed. From Egypt the increased importation amounts]
to 58,500 bales, which may be accounted altogether a
new masker.

Yesterday the Tribunal of Correctional Police was
occupied with a case of adultery—a very rare occur-
rence before the tribunals of the capital, which Must he
owing either to the very Penelope-like conduct of the
Parisian wiv es, or the very philosophic resignation of
their husbands. With the latter quality M. C. the pre-
sent plaintiff, art elastic probe and bandage maker,
seems not to have been gifted, as he thought proper to
make the Public the confidant of his matrimonial mis-
fortunes, and call upon the minister of the law. to
avenge his outraged honour. The defendant, M. Le-
blanc, a manufacturer of pianos and elastic probes, seems
to have been actuated in Ms too frequent visits to M.
C.'s establishment, by the twofold motive of surprising
the affections of his wife, and also a certain important
secret in the construction of his elastic probes. M. C's
suspicions, both as a husband and a manufacturer,
were soon awakened by the rather too curious exami-
nation by M. Leblanc of his elastic probes, and his ra-
ther too particular attention to Madame C. The con•
sequence was a furious access of commercial and ma-
rital jealousy. Hiy doors were closed against M. Le:
blanc, and if the evil tongues of the neighbourhood are
to be believed, Madame C. seceived a pretty consider-
able (as our American friends have it) correction from
the -conjugal right arm. These rigorous
failed, as indeed they generally do, of the desired effect.
In the commencement of November; Madame C. quit-
ted her husband's house, carrying away her jewels,
2001 r. in money, ♦arious cachemere shawls, and, " un-
kindest cut of all," the secret of M. C:s elastic probes.
For tea days Mr. C. made the most unwearied endea-
vours to recover his wife—or at least his sects. On
the eleventh day, early in the morning; he repaired,
with the commissary of police, to M. Leblanc's domi-
cile. M. Leblanc was found in his bed-reom alone ;
')ut on the bed lay a pai' of stays and other articles of
female apparel, that M. C. had no difficulty in recog-
nising. Madame C. had, it appeared, escaped out of
the hi use, in a very Eve-like costume. and taken refuge
with a mid wife in the neighbourhood; whither, ho,w-
ever, the keen scent of the commissary of police enabled
him to follow her, accompanied by M. C. On then

THE SOUND OF THE SEA.

• EROM IRE NEW MONTHLY &IMMUNE.

Thotert sounding on, thou mighty Sea,
For ever and the sense!
. The ancient rocks yet ring Oaths.,
Whose thunders nought cal tame!
Oh! many a *lotions voice ts gone
•
From the rich bowers of earth,
And hush'd is many a lovely one
Of mournfulness or mirth!
The Dorian flute, that sigh'd of yore
Along thy wave, is still ;
The harp of Judah peals se more
On Zion's awful hill :
And.Menmon's lyre bath lost the chord
That breathed the mystic tone,
And the songs, at Rome's high triumphs potted,
Are with her eaglet flown :
And mute the Moorish horn, that rang
O'er stream and mountain free,
And the hymn the !maul Crusaders sing
Hash died in Galilee !
Bet thou art swelling on, thou Deep !
Through many an olden clime.
Thy billowy anthem, ne'er to sleep
Until the close of Tmte!
Thou liftest up thy solemn voice
To every wind and sky,
And all our Earth's green shores rejoice
In that one harmony !
It fills the noontide's calm profound,
The sunset's heaven of gold ; .
And the still midnight hears the sound
E'en as when first it roli'd !
Let there be silence, deep and strange,
Where crowding cities rose!

QU ERN. SQU A RE."

---- TYinLcr, an American sailor, who was found outside West-
minster Bridge, with his feet descending therefrom, and altogether
in such a position as spread the greatest akarrn for his cafety in an
who saw hint, aid from which he was with much difliculty extri-
cated by means of a rope, was brought before the Magistrate, when
a colloquy took place between him and the Nlagistrce, which evi-
dently proved his derangement, and he was ordered to 'be conveyed
to Totkili-Melds prison foe security.

LA MBETILSTREET.

Yesterday a man, named Robert Jones, was committed for trial
for stealing a parcel, which, it appeared, belonged to Sir Charles
Forbes, from a Blackwall errand cart.
A person named Hall, wko saw the prisoner take the parcel
from the cast, immediately gave him in charge to a constable, and
attended the next day to give evidence against hint ; when, as hr
yesterday deposed, the constable interfered to prevent his giving
evidence, and desired him, if he corld net avoid it, to swear that be
was not tertsin of the prisoner's identity.
Mr. Lis apiece, the sitting Magistrate, expressed himself in
terms of strong condemnation at the constable's conduct, fined him
40s. and gave directions to inform the parish that he was no longer
fit to fill the office of constable.

CRICKET.

Tuesday and WednesdayTamatch Of Cricket was played upon
Barham Downs, between nine Gentlemen of Kent with two men
given, against Eleven Players of the ume county. The match was
for a considerable sum, and has long been in agitation, and much
interest was excited. The Downs both days were attended by great
numbers of Ladies and Gentlemen in their carriages, u well as
others who admire this noble and manly game. The play was ex-
cellent, particularly on Tuesday. The Players headed the Gentle-
men the first innings 41, and left eff on Tuesday evening with a
' majority of 71. Wednesday morning the Ouse was renewed at
nine o'clock, when the Players went out with only an addition of
2 to their score. The Gentlemen then went in against 95, and
won with five wickets to go down. The play was excellent--but
the match did not terminate as was expected, and much money has,
changed bands upon this occasion. We think eleven might be picked
out of these players who would conquer all Ragland at this game.
This match was allowed by another between two Gentlemen
belonging to the Canterbury Cricket Club, and two Gentlemen in
the vicinity. The Canterbury Gentlemen won the match. During
the day the novel carriage of Sir Henry Oxenden, which is built in
the shape of a boat, with masts and sails, and which is impelled for-
ward by the wind only, sailed (if we may use the term) for some
hours up and down the Race Course, to the astonishment and de-
light of the numerous spectators, great numbers of whom had never
seen *itch a curious vehicle before.

The-conduct of some men raises a doubt whether they
Ire fools or knaves; while the solution of the problem often proves
them to be both.

SINGULAR FACT.

A most curious discovery was made a few days ago at Farnham,
St. Genovieve, near this town. Men had been for some day; em-
ployed in felling a pollard ash near the Church, which had the ap.
Laurance of great antiquity, being not less than 18 feet in girth, and
I very much decayed, and standing upon a small hillocks which
seemed to have been left at a very distant 'period, when the rest of
I the soil around it had been lowered. Ott the fall of the tree, the roots
of which were an unusual size and length, tore up the ground to a
considerable extent, when immediately under the trunk were dis-
covered a large quantity of skeletons, or rather fragments of skele-
tons, all lying in a circle, with the heads inwards, and piled tier
above tier from the depth of about four feet, being probably the
remains of several hundred bodies.
The most perfect of the bones was a lower jaw, of large dimen-
sions, containing the whole of the teeth ; all the rest were very much
decayed. It is well known, both from history and the tradition of
names,* that in the reign of Henry 11. A.D. 1173, this village was
the scene of a sanguinary and decisive battle. According to Hove-
den, the Eurl of Leicester, having made a descent upon Suffolk, at
the head of a great body of Flemings, to support the claim of the
King's undutitul son to his father's dominions, and having been
joined by Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, who put the Castle of
Framlingham into his hands, was encountered here by Richard de
Lucy, the guardian of the realm in the King's absence, with a less
numerous but braver army; and the Flemings, being mostly wea-
vers and other tradesmen, were broke up in an instant-10,0u0 of
them put to the sword, and the rest were glad to compound for a
safe retreat into their own country. It is therefore probable that
these were the slain of the victorious party, from the careful yet
singular manner in which the bodies were deposited ; and that after
the earth was heaped over them, the ash was planted to mark
the spot.
If this supposition be correct, it affords a striking instance of the
longevity of trees. Single bodies, bones, and remnants of arms and
armour, have been not unfrequently found in the same neighbour-
hood; but it is rather remarkable that on the present occasion no
warlike implements were discovered.

• A heath in the neighbourhood is supposed to be called John's
Heath from the Christian name of the Earl of Leicester, and a
shallow in the River Lark, at a short distance, still bears the name
of the Countess of Leicester's ford. Near the latter place, in clear-
ing out the mud a few years ago, a ring was found, exactly answer-
ing the description of one related to have been ►ost by the Countess
of Leicester in her Bight,—Bery Ant.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY,RDA D*. 25.

As yet no intelligence has arrived of the manner in
which the English ultimatum (of which I spoke to you
in my letter of Wednesday last) has been received at
Madrid. The Ministry here have the telegraph in
their own hands, and of course receive news by it two
or thtee days earlier than any other party, vt hether
diplomatic or commercial, can expect to receive by
couriers. The ultimatum embraced a demand for the
immediate dismissal of the Spanish Ministry (espe-
cially Calamarde, the chief instigator of the Portuguese
reb..ls), for the recall of the Captains-General on the
Portuguese frontier, for the recognition of the Portu-
guese charter, and for- the instant renewal of diplomatic
relations with Lisbon. These terms proposed by Eng-
land received the full concurrence of the French Ca-
binet. The French Government, in case of non-com-
pliance, threatens to withdraw its troops from Madrid,
and from every part of Spain which is not on the fron-
tier of France, or within teach of French ships of war.
France would thus retain possession of Cadiz, Barcelona,
St. Sebastian's, and other fortresses, giving herself the
real command of Spain; but would leave Ferdinand per-
sonally to the protection of his own Monks and Royalist
Wlunteers. There is no doubt entertained that the
demand of the Allies be complied with.—Times.

FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Dn. 44.

We have news from l‘lelrid of the 18th, and from
Lisbon of the 12th. Nothing positive was known re-
Tecting the real situation of things in the Poituguese
provinces where the civil war rages.
On the side of Alentejo, it seems that before being
repulsed into Spain, Magessi, who had at first taken a
road to Algarve, had repassed the Guadiana, and had
been again not far from Estremos, at a short distance
from the Constitutional troops. It was said to be his
intention to join, in the province of Beira, the forces of
the Marquis de Chaves and of Viscount de Canclas, who
are stated to have moved in that direction, abandoning
voluntatily or by force the road to Oporto. But in all
these suppositions there ate probably more conjecture
than certain facts.

The people of Alentejo have not taken part with the
insurgents. It was observed, however, that the land-
owners and inhabitants were beginning to abandon the
country and open towns, and retire into the fortresses
with such of their property as they can remove.

ADELPHL

After the performance of The Flying Dutchman, and 23, John.
street, Adelphs, which latter was somewhat curtailed, " by parti-
cular desire" of the gods above, who seemed determined to have
nothing but " pantermine" at Christmas, for not six words could
the major part of the audience have heard of the two first pieces.—
The long-desired pantomime at last began, and caused some degree
of order to reign among those who, on such occasions, are the
high and mighty. It is named Harlequin and the Nagle; et, the
Man-in-the-Moen aud his W. The fable of the piece is drawn
from one of the popular Irish tales, published in Blackwood's Ma-
gazine. The present adaptation contains part of the drunken ad-
ventures of Daniel O'Rourke, who pays a visit, on the back of an
eagle, to the Maw-in-tire-Moon, and for a piece of incivility to Mrs.
Man-in-the-Moosb, is kicked down stairs. He happens to tumble at
the feet of Harlequin and CWonshine, and is immediately trans-
formed int* Mom, and, that he might not be without his wonted
companion, a muscle is vivified for his satisfaction, and starts up as
Pontatoors. The customary tricks having been gone through, the
piece finished in the usual way, and with great applause.
