The usual proclamation against
all profaneness, having been read,
Mr. BLAIR (so far as the formation of the court en-
abled our reporter, who sat at the front table, immediately
beneath the judgment seat, to hear the learned
gentleman) observed, that be very much regretted
the cause through which it had fallen to his lot to preside
on that occasion ; but he hoped that in a few days the
learned recorder would again be able to resume his duties.
He had not had an opportunity of making himself fully
aware of the nature of the cases in the calendar, and
therefore was unable to offer any remarks relative to
them. This was the less necessary, as he observed gentle-
men amongst them who were fully conversant with the
nature of the duties they had to perform. However.
should any case occur in which they might wish for any
directions from him, he should be happy to give them.
The jury then proceeded to their duties. The cases
tried partook of no features of interest.

We understand that the Committee of the Church
Missionary Auxiliary have unanimously adopted and for•
warded to the Rev. Dr. Duff, of Calcutta, a resolution
expressiveiof their sense of the nature of his labours., as a
missionary, in promoting among the natives of India the
diffusion of Christ's Gospel.
PANORAMIC VIEW OF THEUPPER M
Last evening a private view of the b

a portion of the Upper Mississipi River, never befoi‘.
hibited to an European audience, took place in the large
room formerly known as Dr. Thom's Chapel; 85A,
Bold-street. The invitation was by ticket, and the at-
tendance was not only select but numerous. The exhibi-
bition received the warmest approbation of the company,
who expressed their admiration of the magnificence and
truthfulness of the beautiful painting. The panorama is
the property of Messrs. Lewis and King, recently from
the United States, and will be open to public view for a
limited period, as will be seen from an advertisement,
this evening.

MRS. FANNY KEMBLE'S READINGS OF SHAXSPEARR.
—On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Fanny Kemble commenced a
series of Shaksperian readings with " Othello," at the
Philharmonic-hall, followed, on Friday last with "As Yoo
Like It." It is a matter of no little difficulty for a single
person so to illustrate the various characters of a play, as
to keep up the illusion and command attention, but Mrs.
Kemble, by her varied intonation, correct style of dccla_
mation, and judicious mode of displaying effective points,
contrives to enlist the attention of her audience to such a
degree that the interest never flags, and what would be
wearisome, if treated in an ordinary manner, becomes with
this lady most exciting. " Hamlet" is announced for
to-morrow (Wednesday) evening ; and " Midsummer
Night's Dream" for Friday eveni:ig. All who admire
Shakspeare, (and who do not ?) all who are pleased with
effective declamation, should take the opportunity of hear-
ing Mrs. Kemble.
EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS IN ST. JOHN'S
CHURCH, WATERLOO-ROAD, LONDON.—On Sunday, the
Lord Bishop of Oxford, pursuant to public announcement,
attended St. John's Church, Waterloo-road, and preached
an eloquent sermon in aid of the fund now raising for the
restoration of Lambeth Church. His lordship having de-
livered an excellent sermon, and made a most powerful ap-
peal to the numerous congregation assembled within the
walls of the sacred edifice, lie was in the act of leaving the
pulpit, when a respectably dressed female, aprarently
about 50 years of age, stood up in the gallery, and ad..
dressed the congregation, which act, as might be opposed,
excited treat confusion. She was in the act of exherteig
