tAdvertisement.I Copied from the Kilkenny Journal, Ireland.) -On the 28th of Septem.er the Rev. Dean Stevenson returned with his family from England. 6n 'is way from Kilkenny, he was met by some hundreds of the people of Callan and Its vicinity, who drew his carriage till they caine to his delightful mantsion at ?Vest Court - bonfires were lighted, the bells in the town rang, while the air was rent with reiterated shout of bundreds, who had assembled to con. gratulate him on his arrival among them. It may be trulv sitd of Dean Stevenson, there never was a man who held a higher place in the affFections of his parishioners of every persuasion.

The Parir papers are arrived in their usual course. From these we should now suspect, that the change likely io be elfected in the arm?y which occupies Spain will be ra- ther an augmrentation than a diminiution. The otly, or at least the chief ground of hope with respect to the affairs of.. Spain,is thewantofrnoney. This want, ifindleedit maynot itself be considered as a revolution, must be the cause of a revolution of somekind or otber. What substitute for the produce of the wines, the imported dollars of South Ame- rica, can be foind, save in the industry of the native inha- bitants of Old Spain? and if they are industrious, and through industry obtain wealth, they will be free, both from monarchical chains and the fetters of the Inquisition. Our reformation preceded, and was the parent of our reve- lution, and consequently of our civil liberties, and all the blessings of a free constitution. Had it not been for our re- foimation, we never rould have had oar revolutiotn. We may, therefore, be partial to that train of events: buts civil liberty being once obtained, religious liberty will soon follow. I toALONDON, FRIDAY, DECEAMBER 10, 1824.

Tihese sersions commeneedtto-day, before the LonD 71AYOR,Alr. Justice BEST, the COaMMOV SERG.EANT. &C. TlIonwsl' Frederick Crsees., aged 27, and 1?lizab7ct Harriet Crees, his vite, aged 36, wer.e in(licted for stealing in the dwe'ling-house of Sarah Christiana I{eighley, in Harlev.-treet, Cavendisli-square, a quantity of plate and jewellerv, to the 'value of 4001. or 500!., her propertv. T'he circumstances ofthia case werefullvreported wlM en the examina- tion of the prisoners at Bow-strest took place. It will be recollected that thefemale prisoner had lived iu the service of the pros-cutrix for a period of 17 y'ears,during which slhe maintained the mosthonest cha. racter; that she married the mnale priconer, who is a foreigner and teacher of languages,about 50r 6 years ago; that the prosecuctrix missed her jewellery and plate upon her rcturn from the country in October last, that sorneduplicates werefounda'terthefemale prisoner abscond- ed, by which the stolen property was traced; that the prisoncrs fled to the continent and, finally, riat Salmon, having been sent in pur- suit of them, di,c.vercd the female (who had been abandoned by her husband) in an obscure lcdging at Brussels. and :ccidentally met the other prisoner at O,tend, when returnins? to Eagland. The learned JUnGE left it to the jury to say.whether the *ife acted under the influence and coercon of her husband, or was an in- citing party in the commission of the robbery. In the first case she would be' entitled to an acquittal; but in the latter, she must be found guiltv. Tlie jurY, after some deliberation, acquitted the wife. as having acted under the influence of her husband: and founri the husband guilty, but recommende; hhn to rnercy on account of his youith. M4r. Justice Bxs r reprobated the conduct of the pawnbrokers, receiving property of this value from persons of the pritoncrs' appear- ar.ce and condition of life, without first makin.t inquiries. His Lordship afterwards said. that in justice to the pawnbrokers, hr should men:ion that they were stived to have made soae previouF inquiries respecting the fenmale prisoner, and also to have afforded every assistance in tracing the propertsv. Setill, howerer, he would not retract his former observation, thata respectabl2 pawbrosker ought not to receive valuable property from persons of this descripiero without first making proper inquiries respecting them; and if proper inquiries had been made here, they would have founed that this wo. man was a servant, and therefore not likely to have diamonds anne plate honestly in her possession. WVhen pawnbrokers lend money on property, they mnst tak- their chance ; and he, (the leaned Judge) for one, waS not sfrry wheni in cases like this, they incurren a loss. If this conduct was allowed, no person's property would bL safe; and if they persisted in it, they woul!d have cause to be sorry for it. Of D BAILEY, Wcdnexda;, April 7.

The English Opera.

The German opera of Der Freiscliatz has increased its claims upon the public favour, by the accession of Miss Stephens, who appeared on Saturday in the part of Agnes. Two songs in this nat., which were beforeomittcd, have been now restored. The first is at the opening of the second act, but is not very remarkable ; the second is a duet with Mf r. Braham in the third act, and is really an addition to the beauty of the opera. Aliss Stephens was in excel- lent voice, anl executed the songs with great sweetness anid taste. Mliss Noel, who had betore been in possession of the chlaracter, gave it up very readily, in order that Miss Stephens' proniised appearance might sot be delayed in consequence of the continuing popularity of Der Frcisdla/z. The modesty mndgood sense of this proceeding on the part of Aliss Noel is highly creditable to her. Mliss Stephens was very warm ly greeted on her appearance,and received great applause during her perCorrosance. Every thing now goes on very smoothliv. We are glad of this opportunity to praise the manner in whicih A'r. ff. Phillips executes a drbiking song, in itself of a whimsical and ori- ginal chazracter, and whiels we have before omitted to mention. It was very deservedly encored. THE ENCLISH OPERA.

Exhibition At The Royal A...
The Times, 1824-05-04T00:00:00

The fifty-sixth exhibition at this establishment was opened to the public yesterday. It presents, as usual, a great mass of mediocrity and imbecility, out of which, howvever, the discriminating observer may easily select many admirable productions of genius and taste. In psrtraiture, Sir Thomas Lawrence maintains the a=scedeney: the powers of his trulv surprising pencil leave at an imme-asurable dis- tance behind all efforts of a similar nature. The grace, thc anirmia- tion, the life-endowed look of his heads, surpass anything of the kind we have ever beheld, while his brilliant effects, and occasional puri- ty of colour, give almost the force of nature to his most finished works. The portraits of " The children of C B. Calmnady Esq.," (99) is one of his happiest works. He has caught, with admirable fidelity, the animated glow of infantine beauty, and by the playfiul- ness of his pencil has given a degree of motion to their graceful forms, which mav in vain be looked for in the cold attempts of his les.% gifted fi;lrnwtravelleri in the path of fame. The luxu- rliant richness os the colour and effect in his " Portrait of Sir WVilliam Curtis" (291) surpasses any thing of the kind fie has ever produced. His " Portrait of the Earl of Clanwil. ham" (98) is a verv spirited figure, with a finc dapti of towe and admnirahle effect. 'AlMr. Howard has rent a very pleasing "Portrait of a Lady in the costume of l OO," (107), distinguished by the most graceful simplicity and suavitv of style, as'well as by a rosich pturer colour than we have been accustomed to see from his pencil, in works of this kind. Antong the other academicians, we are sotry to say there are few who deserve any particular praise for their efforts in portraitirc this year. Somie of them are eveti discreditable to the establishment. IlWe were pleased to see several efforts of historical, poetical, and familiarlife composition. Fuseli has one of his most powerful and nostimu2Legiative wvorks. Calleott las a most splendid waterpiece, a view of "1 Rochester from the river," (1;0), where the brilliance of the sky and transparency of the water pro- duce a most surprisingly natural effect. Constable and Collins have also distingui2shed themselves. We observed that the number of works of art is this year by no means so great as on former occa- Kion8, yet we understand that multitudes have been rejected. To judge from som?e of the specimens now hanging on the walls, we must suppose, in justice to the managing committee, that those which have been rejected were outrageously bad indeed: yet we could refer to some, and those in verv promninent situations, whose ineficiency could not be well exceedea. WVe fear there is some foul play in this. EXHIBITIO.N' AT TF$ PROYAL ACADEMY.

A men3ting was or. Tuesday held at the Kensington Na- tional School, to consitler of the best means of paying a tribute of respect to the memory of the late vicar, the Rev. Thomas Rennell, who died on the 30th tilt. The assembly was most respectable and numnceous, consisting of niany of the friends and parishioners of the deceased. The result of their deliberations was, that a subscription not to ex.ceed one guinea each person, should be male, and applied to the erection of a saitable monument. But one feeling seemned to peivade the rmeeting and the inhabitants of Kensingtnn on the sub- ject-that of warm regard and admirration for the virtues of their lIte pastor.-Mforingpapcr.
