THE 'THEATRES.

ITALIAN OPERA.—SIGNOR DEVAL'S 13ENEPIT. —Signer
Deval takes his benefit at the Italian Opera this evening; the
performances announced for the occasion are "11 Corradinoi"
the.tirst time this season, a new grand overture between. the
act?, composed by Deval, and- a miscellaneous selection. -of
Italian music. .To the indefatigable industry and exertions of
Deval the Liverpool public is indebted, primarily, for the re-
commencement of these performances to him and to his co-
adjutor, Marani, we are likewise indebted for the degree of
perfection which they have attained, for they have both been
constant in their superintendence of the rehearsals, and laborious
in adapting the music to the numerical strength andprofeseional
capacities of the different members of the company. For •these
exertions Signor .Deval comes before -the
.public this night for
that measure of reward which is unquestionably his due at a
Singer and an actor, and thiswe hope will be liberally given, both
• as-a remembrance of past services and as a stininius to lintere
exertious. As on "Cesari's" night, a poytion of the pit•willbe
railed off, -for Abe admission of -box-dressed company. While
speaking of the benefits at this theatre it may not be inoppor-
tune to remind its PM pportets that anythino, but justice tvas done
to Marani, who we fear scarcely cleared his expenses on the
night set apart for him. We would suggest that another night
be given him. Were this dove we have no doubt that- he would
produce 'an entertainment that would set gravity lit defiance,—
Mons. Devitt' 'the stage manager, takes his benefit on Friday
night:
Ttia-AsiPHITHEA TK E.—Things are goitm on very steadily at
' this theatre. Several novelties have been produced, and•ene.
ceisfullv performed. Mr. Neville- sustained the part of Sir
-Simon de Montfort, the Blind Beggar of'Bethhal Greeen, in•the
celebrated piece of that name, on Friday 'night, • in. a Manner
that would have done credit to tiny theatre. Onthat night
" a young lady" made her second appearance "an any stage,"
as a singer, and sang "The Hose of -Allandale." She- peeseses
a god voice; hut, embarrassed by' the novelty of her lituatiOn,
-she was ineapal?le of making a good use of it: She wants drilling,
and has a great deal to learn and sometbing to-unlearn. !rite
proprietors benefit night, on 'Tuesday, was, we are happy to
find, a good one. •
• THE LIVER THEATHE.---Mr. F. 'Carman; the'boxkeeper of
this theatre, takes his benefli On . Friday night, When, it will be
seen by-U reference to his hill of fare, he will be assisted by the
strength of the house, fir the purpose of enabling him b, amuse
such of his friends as may honour him with their comp:inv. As
an official, who manages well the business of his particular de-
partment, and studies to firomote the comfort and convenience
of the freqUenters of the Liver, he deserves to be supported.

Thunder was ably sustained by that wend performer.

the hero, who is a thorough spurge on any one who gives, or
who will suffer him to take dinner. We do not like the
acting of Mr. Iloskins. It is even too coarse for such a part.
The performances concluded with the (pot very) "new farce"
of I'. P. or the Man and the Tiger, in which the. admirablyacting of Mr. Browne and Itlr. -Baker kept the audience in
laughter and dismissed them in good ;humour: A:lac/tester

DUNDEE.--WRIRLWIND AND WATZR SPOUT.—Some days
since our coast way visited by the most severe, vthitlwind and
waterspout that have ever been experienced here. Its devasta-
tions were chieftv.experienced at the Haien; vi here five fishing
boats were dashed to pieces, st.me being literally split to shovers.
About the same time a blark and remd.kable looking cloud was
seen out at sea, beneath which. a magnificent water spout made
its appearance. •

The proclamation against vice and immorality hiving been
read,
Mr. Baron Panics then delivered the following charge:—
Gentlemen of the grand jury, the discharge of your duties on
the present occasion will not, I believe, require any great-sacri-
fice of your time, but your duties, though not laborious, will cer-
tainly be painful, and I regret to find that out of the cases In
this calendar more than a majority both of the cases and
the individuals charged are of that class of offences in which
the lives of our fellow-creatures have been -sacrificed. I am
sure that I need not bespeak your careful attention to all these
-cases. They are very different, in degree, some of them having
resulted froi'n acts of negligence, others from acts of violence
approaching very nearly to the malus animus, which constitutes
the crime of murder, whilst there are other cases involving the
greatest offence which cats be committed on the person of an in-
dividual. In none of the last class of eases will you probably
require much assistance from me. There are some of them in
which the fact appears, from the depositions before the coroner
to be proved by direct evidence, and in these the only question
for sour consideration will be, whether you have any reason to
doubt the accuracy of the testimony given by the witnesses.
There are, however; some- which are proved by circumstantial
testimony, a species of :evidence which ought always to be very
carefully considered. There are three rules which I may men-
tion for your guidance in receiving this kind or evidence,-Ist,
you must consider what factS are clearly and distinctly proved;
idly, whether any of the facts so proved are inconsistent with
the supposition of the prisoner's guilt; and idly, and lastly,
whether those facts exclude every supposition but a moral cer-
tainty that the prisoner is piny of the offence imputed to him.
If in any of these cases, particularly in the last; which will be
brought before you, you can reconcile the event with the sup-
position of accident, in that case it will be your duty not to find
the bill, if you cannot do so of course it will be your duty to
• fiud the bill. There is one case, a charge of wilful murder against
a person named Fawcett, in which it appears from the course
purined before the coroner, in which the act is attempted to be
excused on the ground of insanity; some witnesses may be
-called to prove the condition of the prisooer's mind at the tithe;
but you need not trouble yourselves with that inquiry, which can
be investigated much more satisfactorily. in public before apetty
_jury. The act passed for securing, during the King's pleasure,
persons who have committed a capital offence. whilst labouring
under insanity, does nut apply to-cases in which the grand jury
has thrown out the bill against the prisoner. Therefore if you
suppose that the prisoner ha,s done that which, if he had been. a
_person responsible for his acts would have amonnted to the crime
of murder, you will have the goodness to find the bill, and
leave all. other circumstances to be investigated in open court.
If that defence, which ought always to be watched with the
utmost jealousy, be then made out; if it should appear that the
prisoner laboured under a fit of insanity, he will then be secured
-under the act to which I have alluded; until his mind shall be
--brought to a proper state, or for the- rest of his life if he should
turn out to be irrecoverably insane.
There is one case, the murder of a bastard child, with respect
to which I do not know in what shape it will be presented be-
fore you, or whether one or the persons accused may not be
brought forward as a witness ; if so, you will have the goodness
to recollect that the declaration of one of the accused is only
evidence against the person making the declaration, and cannot
be considered by you as affecting the guilt or innocence of the
other.
The first case in the calendar is one of manslaughter, in which
you will have to consider whether the death of the deceased can
be clearly attributed to the blow given by the prisoner. It is a
-case in which manslaughter is imputed to a man for giving his
sister a kick on the.baCk. You will-have. to ascertain whether
. her death is to be attributed mediately or immediately to ;that
cause- If. you think that it is not it will be .a great. saving- ef
time and expense if von at.once. throw out the bill.
There is another i.:harge of a capital nature against a pereo,n
named Seffens, for rualiciously shooting at two persons nimed
William Greenwood and Hannah Greenwood, at Todinorden,
with intent to do them some grievous bodily harm: The ques-
tion for you to determine will be whether you are really satis-.
lied that that was the prisoner's intent. ,you
is evidence td
show that he fired a double-barrelled gun at the window Of the.
prosecutor, and you will have to say whether he did so with an
intention to hit diem, or merely to annoy them by breakiug the
window. If you are not satisfied that it was his intention to
shoot one or other of the prosecutors, you will save further ex-
pense and trouble by throwing out the bill. If your opinion be
different, of course your conduct will be different also.
There is another case of this class, in which it may be neces-
sary for me to offer a few observations. A person named' Lam-
bert is accused,of causing the death of a little girl, by adminis-
tering to her an-improper remedy. It appears that the deceased
had received aA.erioua burn in consequence of her cap taking
fire accidentally: -Lambert was a weaver in the neighbourhood,
mot, therefore, a person Practising surgery, but haying, as he
'alleges, cured several persons before who had beets severely
burned by. the application of a remedy in his. possession. In
order to prevent the necessity of calling in a surgeon he under-
took to cure the girl, and administered his remedy, which pro-
. duced convulsion, fits, and occasioned the death of the child.
The law with respect to cases of this kind is perfectly clear.
When a man undertakes an implied contract he, of course, pro-
fesses to be possessed of the requisite skill to fulfil his contract,
but it is not merely the absence of that skill,—there must be
some gross negligence or ignorance which produces death be-
fore we can impute to him the guilt of manslaughter. This is a
serious charge, for which a matt is liable to transportation for
life, and it ought not, therefore, to be • made merely on account
of slight neglect or comparative ignorance. With respect to
this particular case the prisoner was -not in a condition in which
be could be supposed to be possessed of mere than a certain de-
gree of knowledge. If he administered,a remedy which he haul
reason to beLeve would be-suceessful, and if be had administered
it before with success, it would be a strong measure to find him
, guiltv of nianslaughtsr. It wiil be your duty to inqiiire 'whether
'be hid on previous occasions used the same remedy with suc-
cess, and it' it appears that be had done so you will throw out the
bill ; if, however,
better to find the bill.
you are .not satisfied on that head it will toe
These are all the observations I have to make with regard to
the cases in the calendar. Some will be presented to you in
which the charge is forgery, and it may therefore be as well to
mention to you that, not long.ago, a statute was Passed on that
subject, which whilst it mitigates the severity of punishment,
also provides a remedy fur cases in which there was a frequent
failure of justice before; because it was then necessary to prove
that the offence was committed within the Fruits of
your Julia-
diction, and on that ground itfre
quentiv happened that,yersons
escaped, especially for time crime of actual forgery.
But the
-statute to which I have alluded, provides that in future every
person may be charged and tried for any offence, in the same
way as if it had been-committed in the county in which he is
apprehended. Therefore the only matter for your inquiry will
be, whether persons charged with this offence committed the
forgery, or disposed of the bill knowing it to be forged. In
either of these cases the offence will be complete; and it will be
unnecessary for you to trouble yourselves with any investigation
as to-the place where it,eoeurred.
These are all the observations which occur to Me at present
, material for your guid.sp e. If, timing the course of your in-
quiry, you should require any -further assistance from me, I
, shall be most happy to afford it.
The calendar, with respect to the number of prisoners, is the
lightest that hae been knoivn for some years at the March
assizes, but it contains several cases of great momen't. '!'here.
are 52 prisoners' for trial, of whom 7 are charged with murder,
20 with manslaughter, 7 with burglary, 6 with makilig and utter-
ing counterfeit coin, 3 with forgery, and '2 with bigamy,
Ralph Ward was arraigned on an inquisition for man-
laughter. The grand jury having ignored the bill against him,
and no evidehce icing offered, he was acquitted.
Potreamy.—'Thomas Dawson, aged 42, was convicted of
marrying one Cainerine Askin, his former wife being alive, and
-sentenced to one year's iinprisoement.

set, who bad been obliged to quit all the forts on the frontiers,
after killing apeat many. Caflres. All the farmers had retired
to Graliant's'l own for protection, leaving all their property to
the mercy of the Caffres. The Caffres say that they can bring
185,000 men into the field. They are generally from six to seven
feet high and are for the most part very powerful and muscular
men. Their only weapon is the assayer, a lance tipped with
poison, which they throw with great precision, and seldom miss
their aim at sixty yards' distance. They already occupy 600
square miles of our territory. We have no fears for the safety
of Cape Town, as they will never be able to effect the passage
of the Blue Mountains. These indeed could easily be defended
by a few pieces of ordnance."
Extract of a letter dated Cape Town, January 15th :
" 'To furuish you with my candid opinion on the present state
of things here I am at a loss; what with the scarcity of money,
an overstocked market, the state of anxiety that the colonists
are in relative to the slave compensation, and lastly the incur-
sion.of the Caffres, things bear an exceedingly gloomy aspect,
and the greatest consternation prevails throughout the colony.
That the ravages of the Caffrcs will receive an immediate cheek-
there does not exist the least doubt; but the mischief they have
done is already most serious, and a long time must elapse bes
fore that flourishing district of the colony, Albany, attains it
former footing. Some of the most thriving settlers have had
their flocks stolen, and their houses buint over their beads-
in many instances all they have escaped with is their lives
The general opinion is that these misfortunes might have been
avoided had there ,been a sufficient military force to repress
them, and that the sufferers are fully justified in looking tol
government for compensation." ,
• Speaking of the missionaries the writer adds:—
" Little doubt exists that the missionaries have been far
from appeasing the minds of these savage tribes, and to them a,
great part of the mischief is attributed."
( From the limes of Saturday.)
We have received from a good source the following emit t facts
connveted, with the attack of the Caffres on Graham's-town
." The Crates,. amounting to nearly 20,100, made a bold suC..
den irruption on the colony, committing devastatiou,"outrage,
and murder, driving the ffocks-aud bards into the interior as
they seized them; small patties have met with a slight repulse;
from our troops, and sonic portion of the cattle have been re-
captured, but they 'have succeeded in securing 30,010 head of
black cattle, 18,0(X) sheep, and 1,000 horses. The towns of
Salem and Theapolis were abandoned.
'" By the last accounts (15th of January) the Caffres were'
within,eighteen miles of . Graham's-town, -Macona, their chief,
declaring death to the traders (including all the white inhabit-
ants) but to spare the missionaries. Lieutenant-Colonel Smith
had arrived at Graham's-town and taken command of the
forces on the frontiers, where a burgher guard bad been formed,
and placed themselves under the command of a Captain Smith.
Every preparation was made for defence, and martial law bad
been proclaimed in the colony.
" Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas B. Capel, K.C.8., sailed in his
' majesty's ship Winchester from Simon's-town on the 9th of
Jantiary, with the governor. Sir Benjamin d'Urban K.C.B
accompanied by his majesty's ship Tiinculo and Wolf, with
troops, arms; and ammunition, for Algoa-bay; and all the dis-
posable force had been ordered to the same point.
" Rear-Admiral P. Campbell, C. 8., was expected to arrive
in his Majesty's ship Thalia at the Cape in the latter part ef
January or early in February."

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARcil 16.

The transactions in Wheat during the week have been limited, as
dealers have deferred purchasing in expectation of large arrivals.—
There was a very small supply of Oats, yet the demand was very
trifling, and prices the same as last week.—Flour at the-commence-
ment of the week was in some request, but the termination was very
dull, and scarcely supported its prices.—Oatmeal was very saleable
and 3d 6d dearer.—No alteration in Barley.
