CIRENCESTER.—Mr. Master, one of the representatives
for this borough, has resigned. Lord Villiers, the eldest
son of the Earl of Jersey, and the son-in.law of Sir
Robert Peel, is the only candidate in the field.
FATAL PRIZE FlGHT.—YesterclV week, a man of the
name of Fitzhugh was killed in a prize fight, in the neigh-
/
bourhood of Northampton. A verdict of wilful murder
has been returned against his opponent, and against seven
other persons as seconds and accessories.
STRANGE PROCEEDING.—A dispute arose a few week's ago between the members of a Dissenting Meeting-house
in the parish of Clydau, the one party wishing to rebuild
their place of worship, and the other opposing it on the
plea of the poverty of the country. The no-building
party carried the day. That same night the Meeting_
house was levelled with the ground! ! ! There being
some veteran Rebeccaites amongst the discorsfited party,
it is more than conjectured that they were the levellers.—

THE DOSE OF SUSSEX'S LIBRARY.—Oir Saturday
took place at Evansis, Pall-mall, the 24th and last day's
sale of the first, or "Theological," part of the library of
the late Duke of Sussex. The proceeds of the- 25 days'
sale, are £8,308 4s. The whole library, on the ratuation
of it preparatory to it being offered to the Government,
agreeably to the Duke's will, to be purchased for the
nation, was under £16,000. The next portion of the
library that will be brought to the hammer will be the
manuscripts, consisting of early copies of the Old and
New Testament, and portions thereof. That sale consists
of 510 lots, and will occupy four days.
CHEAP PLEASURE TRH'S ON THE MANCHESTER, AND
LEEDS RAILWAY.—A few weeks ago some teachers of
the Sunday schools at Dewsbury determined to give their
scholars a treat to Hull or Liverpool, on the 25th of July,
being Dewsbury feast, which was taken up by some other
schools, and trains were engaged for both places last week.
On comparing books it was found that tickets had been
sold in such quantities at Wakefield, Huddersfield, and all
the towns and villages in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury,
that it was arranged to divide the trains. On Thursday
morning the Wcsleyans and their friends, to the number
of 3000, bad a trip to Hull, whilst the scholars from.
Cleckheaton and other places, amounting to 2,800, went
to Liverpool. On Friday morning the Independents had
a trip to Hull, and the Primitive Methodists and others to
Liverpool. When the Thursday's train passed Wakefield,
for Hull, it was drawn by three engines, and consisted of
57 carriages.
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS BILL—A bill to enable pri-
vate partnerships to sue and be sued in the name of the
•
firm, has been prepared and brought in by Mr. W. Glad-
stone, and Sir George Clerk. It enacts, that where any
person carrying on any trade or business, or being enga-
ged in any adventure or undertaking in partnership in
England, either before the passing of this act, or at any
time after the passing thereof, and not being established
for the purpose of carrying on the business of banking,
and not being such partnerships as would come within the
definition of a joint-stock company in the act just passed
for the registration of joint-stock companies, shall, at any
time after the Ist day of January next, produce to the
registrar of joint-stock companies, appointed under and
by virtue of the said act, a certificate setting forth the
nature of the business, undertaking, or adventure, and
the principal or only place of carrying on the same (if
any), the names of the several partners, and their respec-
tire residences and occupations, and the name of the firm
under which the same business, undertaking, or adven-
ture is carried on, and the event or mode by which such
such partnership is to be determined, then and thereupon
such registrar shall deliver to the said parties a certificate
stating the name of the firm and the names of the part-
ners, and certifying that such firm had been registered,
and for such certificate a fee of £1 shall be paid. The
bill then enables the firm so registered to sue and be
sued, &c.

THE
H QUEEN'S ITEALTH.—Her Majesty still continues
to be in the enjoyment of as good health as can be ex-
pected in her present interesting situation. Upon the
forthcoming, as upon all preceding occasions of the ac-
couchement of our beloved Sovereign, some three or four
females were recommended by Her Majesty's medical
advisers to act in the highly responsible situation of wet
nurse to the Royal infant, an appointment which is
greatly prized in consequence of its lucrative character,
both present and remote. Mrs. Connup, the wife of Mr.
Connop, of Dorset place, was one of the parties who had
been recommended to the notice of her Majesty, and ap-
artments in the town of Windsor fot Mrs. Connop were
consequently engaged for her accouchement, by her hus-
band. In the early part of last week, however, Mr.
Brown, surgeon to the Royal household at Windsor
Castle, was commanded to engage suitable and conveni-
ently situated apartments in the town, and as near as pos-
sible to the Royal residence, for another female, whose
confinement was daily expected, and who would most
probably be appointed her Majesty's wet nurse; but it
having been considered, by the Queen's advisers, that
the female should be accommodated in the immediate ye-
cinity of the Castle, so as to be close at hand when re-
quired, Mrs. Perkins (the female in question) was taken
upon her arrival at Windsor (from her residence near
Camberwell) to the wardrobe tower, occupied by Lady
Barrington, one of the Bedchamber Ladies to her Ma.

I e j 'ty y`3her she was brought to bed of a fine healthy boy,
ons Friday morning last, and only within a short period of
her arrival within the precincts of the Royal palace.
Both the mother and child are doing well. Her Majesty
has caused several inquiries to be made as to the state of
health of Mrs. Perkins since Friday last, who will be re-
moved into the Castle in.mediatelv after her Majesty's
accouchement taking place. Mrs. Lilly will be her Ma-
esty's monthly nurse ; Mrs. Driscol, nurse to the Royal
infant; and Miss Whiting. it is understood, the daughter
of one of the Queen's pages of the back stairs, has just
had conferred upon her, by her Majesty, the appointment
in the Royal nursery of one of the rockers.
BATH CHAMPAGNE.—it will be seen by an advertise-
ment in another column, that Mr. W. W. King, of Soho-
street, has been appointed agent for this excellent article.
Bath Champagne is decidedly the best British wine ever
offered to the public ; and its moderate price, and close
resemblance to the real article, must render its adoption
universal.
THEATRE-ROYAL,WILLIAMSON-SQUARE.—On Tues-
day evening we had an opportunity of witnessing, for the
first time, the performances of Mr. Charles Pitt and Miss
E. Moatague in Bulwer's play of The Lady of Lyons, in
in which the former, at the close of last season, made
a very successful debut. On this occasion we are cer-
tainly not able to say that Mr. Pitt's Claude Melnotte.
was all that we could wish, although as a whole the cha-
racter has seldom been better brought before an audience
either here or in the metropolis. Of one or two passages
of the piece, the eclaircissement scene for instance, a
little more might be made by him, without doing violence
to the character ; and we noticed at times a slight dispo-
sition to rant, which he would do well to subdue. These,
however were merely trifling blemishes in a performance
otherwise faultless and which indicated powers in the
actor, which qualify him for the highest walks of his
profession. Miss Montague's impersonation of the
heroine of the piece was a beautiful piece of acting, and
stamped her as an actress of a very high order.
On Wednesday the play of the Stranger was excellently
performed, the same lady and gentleman taking the parts
of Mrs. Haller and the Stranger. We never witnessed
the piece in greater perfection, and may safely
predict for
bota a high place in the estimation of the play-going
public of Liverpool. The houses on neither evening were
good, but we trust such a circumstance will not occur
when the merits of the performers become better known.
We ought, at any rate, have no more complaints of the
lack of regular drama on our boards if our fellow-towns-
men will not appreciate it, when offered to them of first
rate quality. On Thursday the new opera of the Bohe-
mians, by Mr. Balfe, was played the first time before a
fashionable and numerous audiences, and has since been
repeated with deserved applause and increasing support.
It is a splendid opera, full of beautiful music, and rich
both in solo and chorusses. We need scarcely say that
it was performed in a manner worthy of its great excel-
lence, when we enumerate as the singers sustaining the
principal characters, Miss Rainforth, Messrs. Harrison
and Stretton, and Mr. Morleyof our own company, who
appeared to no disadvantage even by the side of stars so
resplendent. The whole company acquitted themselves
well ; and the piece, we venture to say, will have a run,
which it heartily deserves. Last night we were happy to
observe that the house was overflowing in all parts.
