MASQUERADE.
A Masquerade was given last night at the King's
Theatre, which is well adapted to such a purpose. A
platform was placed over the pit, making the whole
interior into one large saloon, at each end of which, in
an elevated orchestra, was placed a band, the orchestra
at the back of the stage being surmounted by a large
illuminated crown, with the letters G.R. In the room
adjoining the boxes, fitted up as a theatre, another band
played quadrilles. The company was of the usual
'kind, and their deportment of the usual cast. The cha
racier: presented no novelty; and, indeed, most of the
persons who supported them are as well known to the
frequenters of masquerades as the regular performers to
the frequenters of the theatres. The dresses were gene-
rally good, and some of the feats too were tolerably
well sustained. Amongst them were a Jerry Diddler,
a mendicant friar, some fortune tellers, a cobler,
and a Moll naggon. The exhibition, which on the
whole was tame enough, was varied and enlivened by
the displays of Il Diauolo Antonio on the slack rope,
and Monsieur Gonffe, the celebrated monkey of the
Surrey Theatre. Between one and two o'clock, a great
portion of the motley assemblage recruited their spirit.
with a supper, and afterwards returned more misy, if
not more witty, to the scene of their amusement, where
they continued at an advanced hour of the morning.

SUN.!. ET.

Mow oft I've watch'd the sun's last ray, .
Ti:iting the horizon with gold,
And wish'd it would one moment stay,
Fresh brilliant beauties to u:IStl,l ;
But when it's radiance sinks from Night,
And leaves that splendid crimson glow,
My thoughts to realms above take flight,
Nor linger in this world below;
I think that in a scene so fair,
All must be tranquil joy and peace,
I sigh—and wish my spirit where
All earthly care and troubles cease ;
But 't6 a thought so wild and wrong,
I chase it from my anxious heart ;
I think to whom our lives belong,
And then those wayward thoughts depart,
And leave me in this world of care,
Like to a tranquil passing guest,
Resign d this chcquer'd life to bear,
Till sleeps the bean in that deep rest ;
-A rest that hushes Sorrow's voice,
That breaks the chain of earthly woes,
Translates us where—we may rejoice—
The stream of 'mercy purely flows!
Morpeth.

UNITED STATES.

. The reports of the proceedings in the Congress of the
Sates, present one or two curiosities. The two
Houses have each a Chaplain, and prior to the election
of the one destined for the House of Representatives,
the following curious resolution was passed :
•' Resolved, That two Chaplains, of different denominations, be
elected by Congress the present Session, one by each House, who
shall interchange weekly."
By this ingenious arrangement, the Senate may
choose a Catholic Priest, and the House of Representa •
Lives a Presbyterian, or one may choose a Clergyman of
the Church if England, a•nd the other a Quaker, or a
Jewish Rabbi, and by means of a weekly interchange,
both Houses may have the pleasure of a choice between
. doctrines diametrically opposite.
It seems, further, that there is some intention to fur-
nish the President's house anew ; and the Commissioner
of Public Buildings gives in an estimate, to which is
appended the following note:
" The furniture in the President's house having been seven years
or upwards !n use, is, of necessity, mere or less injured or defaced,
notwithstanding the utoiest care and attention have evidently been
paid to its preservation. A portion of it; hastily collected for Mr.
Madison, in It:14, at auctions, &c. never was suited to the house In
winch it was placed, and where it has become altogether useless."
The idea of picking up secondhand goods "a: auc-
-dons," itc. t.i fu►nish a magnificent house in the Capitol
for the Cnief Magistrate of this great Republic, is, to
say the least of it, a strange inconsistency.

WORSH I P.STRERT.

W. Bo", a weaver, and his wife, were charged with horrible
cruelty towards their apprentice Mary Ann Starky, ft year. of
age. The poor child was so extremely debilitated by the severe
beatings of ber Mistress, by confinement, and by want of food. as
to be unable to walk, and was brought itao the Office in the arms
of a Parish Officer. It appeared that her mistress had been in the
habit of beating her.with a birch broom and a carters whip, and
had frequently dragged her down stairs by the hair of her head--
she was kept so short of food as to be reduced to the necessi•? of
eatlag raw potatoe peelings.
The 'Alagistrate held the prisoners to bail, and to give 24 hums'
notice, and ordered that the indentures should be cancelled.

FROM THE ETOILE, DATED WEDNESDAY.
PARIS, JANUAZY 17.
After some reflections on the language held by the
other Journals respecting the events at St. Petertburgh,
the Etude continues a, follows :
We invite the public to be on its guard against all
the faltehr.ods which th: Journals will not fail w utter
respecting the depositions of the officers art ested at St.
Peteriburgh. It u ou!d expose ittelf again to take late-
hoods and suppositions fur rea!it'es. There were ev:-
drmtly some persons who were misled on the '26 h, and
it may be seiJ that all the soldiers were in this situation.
The Emperor has pardoned them all. As for the
officers, several of them may, undoubte ay, have been

who put an end to his days with a pistol before he was

' JN THE MATTER OP THOMAS Lnv VrT, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. Ross moved, that a petition in this nut4tr might
be ordered to be advanced under these circumstances•:—
It was a petition against the certificate of the bankrupt,
and the ground for advancing it was, that there was a
collation between a creditor, who had come in under
the bankruptcy, and one who had not, by which one of
them was enabled to proceed in an action at law, to the
prejudice of the other creditors.
His Hoiwua inquired if there was any affidavit confirming this
statement?

Mr. Rosa answered in the negative, but said, if it were nines-
sary. such an affidavit could, he had no doubt, be made.
His Hottotta said, he could take no notice of any such statement,
unless upon affidavit.
• Mr. Rosa then pledged himself that one should be made.
His Ho/Jona said, that not only would it be necessary
that such an affidavit should be made, but that a copy
of it should be furnished to the party or parties against
whom the petition was directed. and that they should
be served with notice that the muter would itAain be
mentioned to the Court on a given day.

AN AFFLICTINU EVENT IN HIGH LIFE.

Wednesday, the respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood
sd Grosvenor-place, were thrown into a state of Marin in conse-
quence of a singular event. In Chapel-street had long resided
the Lady of a Noble Lord, of ancient family, whose singular
conduct had attracted the notice of every resident. During
the day the windows were all closed, but at night they were
thrown open, and the interior illuminated. Early on the morn..
ing of the day alluded to, at the breakfast hour, a crash of glass
was heard, and shortly after a head was seen pretuding itself
through the broken casement, with Sowing hair, in a state of
frightful derangement. Presently after cups, saucers, sugar
bison, /cc. were seen demolished, lying on the pavement of
the street. These artistes were succeeded by the toilette, glass, &c.
from the bedchamber. A crowd collected; servants were di:-
patched to the residence of the Noble Lord; proper persons subse-
quently arrived, and the cause of the alarm was removed.
It appears that the unhappy Lady has been long deranged in in-
tellect in consequence of the death of an only child. There were
three female servants in the house, but she would not suffer the
apartments to be cleaned, nor the linen to be washed. From these

arrangements the state of the interior may easily be conceived.
. • The husband of the Lady is in the Church, and is a most amiable
character. Every body speaks in terms of high praise of his uni-
form attention to the comforts of his unhappy wife. He lived with
her as long as he was able.

p

' Frencih faPers4Shko. 4th inst. and the Etoile of Wed
nesd 4y, have reached` us: Since the return of Prince
Metternich to Vienna, great efforts had been made to
raise the Metalliques which had fallen upwards of 10 per
cert. since it was known that the Conferences at Acker-
mann were suspended. For this purpose rumours had
be n spread of their b-ing resumed ; but w' en it had
been ascertained that both parties sere awaiting the
decision of the Divan, on the Russian Uaimatum, and
that that Ultimatum consisted of not less than eighty-two
long articles, public cot:fidence again declined. The
frillowing statement was then published, to induce the
public to believe that even in an extreme case a war
between Russia and Turkey would make no change in
the relative situation of the Christian Statse.
" In the conferences held at St. Petersburgh. the Duke of Wel-
lington and Count Nesselrode laid down the following principles:
"s Ist. That all other Powers should recognize the perfect justice
of on the demands of Russia.
2dly. That if Turkey should positively refuse the satisfaction
due to Russia, the latter would occupy Wallachia and Moldavia with
her troops, with the sole view, however, of forcing the Porte to
give the satisfaction required.
" sdly. That, in casi of a war against Turkey, not any of the five
Courts (London, Petersburgh, Path, Vienna, and Berlin) should
claim any estension'of territory."
The effect of this publication, however, teems to have
been null, as the price of the Austrian Funds had not
improved. Indeed, a Convention which admitted the
possibility of war could not dd much to dispel the ap-
prehensions of the friends of peace. The Etoile states
on this subject, that the Porte had been thrown into the
,greatest embarrassment by the arrival of the Russian
'Ultimatum immediately after the late conflagration.
and by a pressing note from M. Minziacki, declaring
that if the demands of his Soveteign were not conceded
within the appointed time (the 7th of October), his army
would enter the Principalities. The Turkish Ministep
seemed to be convinced that Russia was bent on war,
and only sought an excuse fcr commencing it, which, if
her demands were granted, would be founded on some
o!her ground. They did not feel disposed, therefore, to
submit, but they could not shut their eyes to the fact,
that the Ottoman Empire had never been in so unfa•
vourable a situation for making or supporting a war as
at the present period. As they had a whole month
before them, however, to consider tht subject, or to
prepare for hostiliiies, nothing could yet be ascertained
with respect to the nature of their determination.
The tioik announces officially that the Government
of Hayti had discharged all its obligations up to the
present day, having paid up the first quarter of the In-
demnity in Spanish gold.

LOVE AND LAW IN FRANCE.

A young woman, at Paris, brought her lover, a mi•
litary spark, a few days since, before the Police Cor-
rectionnel, on a charge of the most criminal abuse of
confidence. The following were the facts:
Towards 1816 Antoine Mantran, then Voltigeur in
the 8d Regiment of the Garde Royale, became inti-
znately connected with Marie Bernard, and promised
ber marriage. This intimacy continued six years;
during that time the young soldier obtained loans from
his mistress, who took receipts, and finally obtained
from him in exchange, for forty receipts, one general
acknowledgement upon stamped paper, for a sons,
amounting to 2020 francs. In the course of the year
1823, Mantran, upon the point of obtaining his dis-
charge, found means to purloin the acknowledgement
from Marie Bernard's porte-feuille and make it light
his pipe. He soon after departed for his own country,
and contracted an advantageous marriage. His father
was a Member of the Municipal Council of the Com.l
mune of Ramat, and he was called to a considerable,
fortune. The deserted mistress, whom Mantran in his
o.gres with his drunken companions, called Little Marie,
having endeavoured in vain to obtain a reconciliation,
preferred her complaint. Mantran, cited to appear
before the Tribunal, came to Paris.

His Advocate, M. RaNAUD, contended that no value
had been received fo the bill f 2020 francs, and said
his client believed he had the power to destroy it.
The Tribunal condemned Mantran to a year's im-
pi isnninent, and to pay the 2020 francs, with interest
since 1h23.

THE BETHNAL-GREEN RIOTS.

APPOINTMENT OF THE HORSE PATROL.
Yesterday morning, the orders of the Secretary of
State to the Magistrates of Worship-street B,lice Office,
to e•tablish a parte of horse patrol, to be under the Jo-
risdiction of their Worships, was carried into eff,..ct, and
a party of strong, able-bodied men, who have held
situations in the army, were appointed; and at twelve
o'clock they mounted, and went on duty, accoutred
with cutlasses, pistols, and blunderbusses. These men
were to remain on active duty till five o'clock in the
morning, and will be in constant communication with
40 of the dismounted horse patrol, who were also sent
upon duty by order of the Right Hon. Secretary. The
dismounted are divided into parties, and are stationed
at the following posts, viz.—Cambridge Heath Gate,
Mile-end Gate, Whitechapel Church, London Appren.
tice Gate, and near the Regent's Canal, Mile-end Rnad.
This body of men will also remain on duty till five o'clock in the
morning, when they will go off, and communicate with the Ma.
gistrates of Worship-street.
Yesterday being market day at Smithfield, the gang
were on the look-out for beasts, and we hear that as
early as six yesterday morning two bullocks were taken
from a drove, and are now in the hands of the gang.
However, we have no doubt but that the officers will.
prevent them from pursuing their outrages.
Wednesday, a bullock was rescued from them In the Kingsland
Road, and after being secured In Clement's barn till the gang had
been dispersed, it was conveyed home to its owner, Mr. Alexander,
in Whitechapel Market.
It having been reported that Mr. Sykes, proprietor of
the ham and beef shop, in Winchester-street, Hare-
street Fields, had died yesterday morning, in the Lon-
don Hospital, from the dreadful injuries be received
from the gang, and were happy to say he is still alive.
It seems that Mr. Sykes had only set up in business a
few days, when about eight o'clock in the evening about
20 fellows came round his shop, armed with sticks; he
suspected they intended an attack, and for security got
behind the counter, when the whole gang came in, and
seizing a buttock of beef and a ham, ran out of the shop.
He endeavoured to prevent them by putting out his
arm, when one of them took up a hatchet or hammer,
and with a tremendous blow struck him over the arm,
which broke it in a dreadful manner; it has been since
amputated, and he now lies in a very bad state. The
gang then went into a baker's shop, and helped them-
selves to bread, and afterwards adjourned to the brick
field, and ate the provisions in a very short time. It
would be too tedious to state the numerous outrages
that have been committed by this gang, but there is
reason now to hope, that the establishment of the horse
patrol, and the conviction on Thursday of' three of
them at the Old Bailey, for atacking and robbing Mr.
Fuller, will be the means of routing them altogether
from the parish.

M A RLBOROU G H-STREET.

Mary Ant Pam, alias Lady Bar/yes/we, who was only liberated
last Tuesday by the Goal Delivery, as is usual with her, immedi-
ately on her liberation paid her respects to one or two persons,
which led to an introduction first to Guildhall, than to Bow-street ;
and being again set free on Thursday morning, die was found in the
evening by Webb, the beadle of St. Ames, " giving a benefit" to
her western acquaintances. With the abler assisessee, in the King's
name, be brought her to blarlbilroosbltro, at the evening sitting,

whence she was sent to Totids.ifebie risen to abide 1111 neii
Sessions, unless two respectable housekeepers will answer in the sum
of 201. :act, to our Sovereign Lord the King, for her appearance
then and there, to answer what may be dieted against her.

Yesterday Mary Maley and Mary Stewart were charged before
Mr. Cosam—the former with stealing, and the latter with re-
ceiving, a box of linen, a Bible, and a Prayer-book, value ses, the
property of some Ladies who assemble in the •estry of St. Clement
Danes, for the purpose of assisting poor married women when con-
fined. The things had been obtained fraudulently, on pretext of
one of the women's approaching confinement, and were afterwards
pawned.—On her first examination, Stewart appeared very bulky.
The change of air, and a week's residence in Tothill Fields, have
produced a •isible alteration, which Mr. CONANy remarked to her.
She owned to being very much smaller, but insisted she was still
with child.

SINGULAR FEAT.

Yesterday morning a vast number of persons assembled in Cam-
berwell Grove to witness the performance of a wager, on which
considerable sums were depending, as to the pulling op of a quarter
of a hundred %eight from the bottom of the Grove to the extreme
end thereof, a distance of 1070 yards of rising ground. The line to
which the weight was made fast was of the thickness of a sash cord,
and joined in lengths of 50 yards each. At seven o'clock the man
selected for the purpose made his appearance, and soon commenced
his Herculean task with considerable energy, and completed his
task in 55 minutes. The arrival of the weight at its destination
was hailed with shouts by the bystadden. The bets were that the
task could not be performed in an hour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A Mr. Dunn applied for the Magistrate's assistance under the
following circumstances ; He owed a Mr. Sims Al, and Mr. Sims
had sent a stranger to applicant, a Mr. Earlidge' to order 211. worth
of goods by a certain day, when they were to be delivered at the
Three Crowns, Dowgate-bill. He took them there, saw Mr. Ear.
lidge, who asked for the invoice, and was desired by him to wait a
few minutesi until some friend who understood shoemaking should
arrive to eaamine the workmanship, and then the money should be
forthcoming. In the meantime, however, in came Sims with an
officer of the Lord Mayor's Court, who seised the goods, under
handsattachment, as the property of the applicant, then in the ands of
Earlidge. This possession was but a constructive one, from the
invoice being in learlidge's hands, the applicant retaining the goods
until he should see the cask. His Solicitor had informed him the
possession of Earlidge was not such a one u would make him a
garnishee.
Sir Pavia LAURI; under the advice of the clerks, said be could
not interfere, because there was no felonious intention. The parties
were perhaps liable to an action for trespass or for a conspiracy, but
be mast refer him back to his Solicitor for advice as to that.

SPECIAL JURIES.

The following Circular has been addressed, by direc-
don of Mr. Secretary PEEL, to the different Clerks of
Pe:ty Sessions throughout the country, with the •iew
of obtaining for the administration of public justice, the
full benefit of the Act of last Session, relating to the
summoning of Special Juries.

" WHITEHALL, Serr. 12, 1826.
SM-Mr. Secretary Pim having learned that in some counties
due attention has not been paid to those provisions of the Act, 6th
Geo. IV. chap. 50, which relate to the return of persons to serve on
Special Juries, particularly that the description of " merchants" has
been improperly given in the jury-lists to inferior persons, to
whom it does not belong; and that, notwithstanding the care taken
to promulgate the Act, in thciast year, many Magistrates were not
aware that, by the Act, the power of correcting suth misdeocrip-
tions, as well as of reforming other errors in the lists, amides in the
Justices of the Peace, at their Petty Sessions, to be for that pur-
pose held in the last week of September ; I am directed by Mr.
Pim to request, that at the Petty Sessions for this purpose. in the
present month, you will call the attention of the Magistrates present
to the whole of the 10th Section of the Act, and especially to the
great importance of taking care that persons, not properly quali-
fied to serve on Special Juries, do not, by means of misdetcrip-
tions given to their names in the Jury Lists, become liable to
serve thereon.

" The Legislature, in giving to the Justices in Petty Sessions this
power (which belongs to them exclusively) of correcting the Lists,
deemed it so important, that it erpressly empowers them, in cue of
' need, to cause notice to be given to the parties of any alteration
appearing necessary, and to adjourn the Petty Sessions for the pur-
pose of deciding on it. And the 45th section imposes a penalty,
not exceeding XlO nor less than 401. on every Churchwarden or
Overseer who wilfully inserts in a Jury List a wrung description of
any man therein named.
" Mr. Pixy. is confident that due attention to these provisions
will In future prevent all complaints on a point so intimately con-
nected with the administration of public justice.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) "O. R. DAWSON.
" The Clerk of the Petty Sessions."
