According to privateletters of Saturday from Paris, which were received yesterday by express, it would appear that the French Cabinet it to consist for some time to comne of orie member less than it has hitherto done, it bei;g the inten- tion of M. de VILLELE to retain in his owvn hands the porte- fezille of Foreign Affairs, in addition to the functions he exereised before *he di6mlssal of M, de CdATEAUBRlAND1. This staztenent rests on the best information from Paris, and, if correct, at once puts an end to all speculations re- specting the probable successor of that Mlinister. It is confirmed, indeed, in part, by the mere delay in making a new nomination, although that has beeti explained by some on the stippdsition that the state df the Kingi's healti is so unfavourable as to reilder him incapable of attenlding at present to an affair oF this nature. It is generally believ'ed to be the intention of M. de VILLELE, should he continue in office, to abandon all measures for the reduction of the irench debt, at least for the present session, and probably till ke inals hiimseif placed beyond tile possibility of a second failure1 which might prove fatal to him.

-L UCe assizes 7or ntns countv commenced here to-day, before tlr. Baron GRAHANi on the crownv side, and Mr. Justice BURROUGH on the civil. Their Lord8hips dined yesterday at the Earl of Chi- chester'a, by whom an elegant entertainment was given,2s well to the learned Ju egcs, as to several of the leaders of the circuit. CROWN SIDE.--TE KING V. THOMr.XAS MILLS. The prisoner had becn commiued to talce his trial under the .57th George ll., for feleniously and unlawfully assaulting, with other persons unknown, near Circkmere flaven, in the parish of Dean, in order to aid and assist in the illegzl running of incustomed goods, andt also for having wounded WVilliam Wiliamson, a seaman of the Preventive Service. The King's Sergeant (O0SLow) now moved to postpone the trial until the next as8izes, on an affidavit that WVilliatmson was so dan. gerously ill as to be unable to attend the assizes to give evidence in support of the indietrment, and also that another materi;l rand neces- sary witness wYas unavoidably absent. IMIr. ANDRnws, for the pisoner, endeavoured to resist the appli- cation, and requested time to answer the affidavit, but Dlr. Baron GRAHAM .said this was an unusual course, and as he was bound to presume that the affidavit produced was founded in truth, he had no alternative but to postpone the trial, according to the exigencies of further justice.- rhe trial was postponed accord- ingly. Robert Bovtnell was convicted of wilful and corrupt erjury in sutpport of an information against a gentlenson, named lMr. Luke Upperton, fer purchiasing game contrarv to the statute of 5 Anne, ant was sented to 12 montbs' imprisonment in the common gaol.

The prem?ium to the *isk iS as tO L 000, and, what sould becosne of ary set of dupes iu'-,- might be artless enough to gdlopt your correspondetlt'snottons maf be ieadilv imagined, wheu it is known that no 1}ss than 20 in- surance offices have broken up witbin the lasig 1 years, leaving tl.e shareholders nminus some hutndreds of thousand ronnds upon .the premiums which thie orcce B. -P. tells the public yield auch amazing profits. The information published in,a previous letter by a gentlenmn wbIP fills the office of Digsttict Sueveyor for Warylebounelthat in hI& district only it; houises had been consumned in 17 ycars, is not to be -taken as sufilciest data whereon to ground an estimate of tdleexpenser of in- surane'. - For one house consuined, so as-to comc within the dietrict surveyor1s'fee-book for rebuilding, we have 5lJ partial aceidents4 and some of themn coat thoasands to tbe fflice, althougIt orly a oeiir or two may be cohsamed.

Thie drift ol'tbese writi.gs is evidently to revive the idea of starling a fire-office for Mlarylebone, which has been before Jzid aside, owing to the interests of the 'parishiioners- being so largely pre-occrrp3ed_ Now is the time, certainly: any tlhing will go down' now, if ever; but don't let the public be deccived by suci gross mnisstatemrents as those I have roticed. am.

Drury-Lane Theatre.
The Times, 1824-04-23T00:00:00

We visited this theatre last night, in consequence of the notiffe.a tion contained in the bills, that Mr. Alunden would appear as Old Dorn ton, in the comedy of The Roead to Rruin, being " the last time of his ver performinn that character." If this annunciation be not one of those theatrical tricks with which the " man emert'at this house are so perfectly conversant, we most heartily regret it. The character which it is stated illr. Mlunden is about to give up, is one that he has mnade peculiarly his own-it is a character ilso the interestof which is increased, not dieninished bv the ordin firmities of age. It is the predsepartto which Illr. *lunden oug.. t adhere, as Macklin did to Shylocl, even when he abandoned ever other; for, we believe, the pathos, the deep paternal feeling which he displayed, and which he continues to display, in every scen have done more for his fame than even the exhibition of his cone rowers, rich and unique as those powers confessedly are. Hisa ast night,was as natural and affecting as we ever recollect it. NO,o part of his performance could be pointed out as affording any ground mor the determination which was announced in the bills. He marked every passion and affection of Old Dornto,e in the strongest manner. He carried the feelings of the -audience with him throughout the evening; and the heartfelt plaudits with which he was cheered, will, it is to be hoped, induce him again to represent a character to which he does such perfect jus- uce. Air. Eliston, ithough somewhat too much " fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf," for the youthful spendthrift Harry? Dorn/on, sustained the part with an easy and pleasant vivacitv. Slr. Harley renders the character of Goldfiich even more outrg'than the author ha- drawn it. This is quite unnecessary: broad, however, as Mr- Harley's colouring is, thie praise of being extremely laughable can- not be withheld frons his performance. Air. Knight, as Silky, de- lineated the meanness, fraud, ingrtitude, and avarice of the old usurer, very ably. Miss S. Booth supported the half-sentimental. half.hoydenish character of Sophia, with much ndiveli and spirit. DRURY'-LANR THrEATRE.
