      BiRUiSGHAM , Ship Inn . —At our _usuxj weekly meetirm on Sunday evening las * . Mr B mks in the chair , after reading the notice from the Star , as to the opening a new Land Company , the follow . ng resolution was _agreed to . Moved by Mr Pus _»« , seconded by Mr Carland :- ' Tnat we , the _members of the Land Company , meeting at the Ship _Ihh , Birmroeham , very much _regret the course pursued by the directors in opening a second Company , which we conceive to be in direct violation of the decision of tbe late Conference , and we are sorry to say it is calculated to destroy that good feeling and confidence between tbe members and _directors which we consider so reauisite for the success of our Company . "We are of opinion that the director _* bave no power to commence a new company withont the sanction of the members in speoial _meetim- assembled , or _aathorised by the votes of their delegates , appointed to the next _Conf-rence . We feel fully assured that if the _decisisn of the Conference had been _al-ided by ,

      the _membsra would hava given greater support to the bank , and thereby enabled the directors to _losate the members-more rapidly . ' Bury . —The members of the No . 1 branch of the Land _Comoany have established a money club in _connexion with the Land and Lab mr Bank .

' * That weeommence on next Sunday to deposit 6 d . per week per member , to form a c-pita ' with which to commence operations . ' 'Thai notice be sent to the Stah , that another meeting will take place on Wednesday , January 26 . nt _cij-bt in the evening , for the purpose of taking down the names of other shareholders yi the Land Company desirous of becomins _member _SS & to diicnss the rules necessary te fora the society .

      DnsDBK . — -At tho quarterly meetine of this branch , Mr Wtn Peirrie in tho chair , the balance sheet was adopted hy the meetine . On the motion otMr John _ii'Craa the following : resolution was adopted : — * That we decline petitioning Parliament for the taking of the Land Company under its protection at present . The following office-bearers were elected : —ThomasWhitton . treasurer ; William Reid , _scru-. tineer ; William Davidson and John _M'Crae , auditors . Five members of committee were _ako elected . . . _ . _

      East Retford —Tbe members of the Land Company recently had a tea party , -which _was numerously attended , and well-conducted . A resolution in favour of the _L- _* nd Company having ; been proposed , Mr Leach , of Manchester _. ' who hadbeeninvited , rsse , an * £ delivered a most excellent lecture , elucidatory of the ' _principlfs asserted in the reso _' utien . Mr Dixon , one ef the directors arrived in the evening , and delivered an admirable speech in response to a resolution of confidence to Mr O'Connor . T henext evening Mr Dixon lectured on the * Land Plan . ' Hi 3 discourse excited great enthusiasm These meetings have heen _productive of great good .

      Gla c gow . — -At the _meeting of the Glasgow branch , Mr John _tiavan was palled to the chair . The petition to parliament was introduced _byMr A . Harley , who concluded by mnvins the following resolution , seconded by Thomas Reid . — ' That we have immeasurably m 9 re confidence in the honesty , integrity , and honour of Feargus _O'Csnnor than in any national government on the face of the earth . We , therefore , are decidedly opposed to petition parliament to appoint trustees to take charge of _ any monies or other property belonging to the National Land Company , and declare that we will never cmsent to _placa any sueh power into the hands of any government not responsible to the whole people . ' The resolution was spoken to bv many of the

      members , and carried unanimously . Mr Sherrington then read from the Stab the notice from the directors of the opening of a new company , and stated , _th'it he was a member of the Iato Conference , and one who did all he could to have the Company closed even before the Slst of December . He was perfectly _amaz- ? d on Saturday last when he read in the Star the intention of the directors to open a new company , they having received decided instruction at the Conference to close on the 31 st of December . He stati d that , no doubt , teey had carried ont that resolution , bat , at the same time , thay were _taking decided Steps to set at defiance the resolutions of their employers , which _oaiht to be met by the members in the

      spirit that it deserved . Mr A . Harley said , being a member of the Company , he was opposed to the directors setting aside the instruction received at tbe last Conference , andconcladed by moving the follow ' ing resolution : — ' That in the opinion of this Bnnch _theTesolution of the directors to establish another Land Company is virtually a vielation of the decision of the late Conference , held at _Lowbands , and an evident attempt to act in the defiance of , and responsibility to , the present members of the Land Company . We , therefore , call upon the directors to withdraw their _resolution immediately , or call a special Conference for the purpose of receiving their resignation and appointing others in their place . The resolution was carried unanimously .

      Hull . —At the weekly meeting of this branch on Wednesday evening , January 12 th , Mr Fisher in tbe chair , aftera spirited {[ discussion on the petition to government , as issued by Mr O'Connor in reference to tha Land Plan , it was carried by alarge majority , - That in the ' opinion of this meetine the members of the National Land Company { and not the government ) ought to nave the appointment of trustees , pay clerks , and all other officers . ' Meetings are held every Monday and Wednesday evenings , at the Ship Ian . Church-lane , at half-past seven o ' clock .

      Hammersmith , —Ia consequence of the return of the honourable member for Nottingham 'having : been petitioned against , a special meeting of the Hammersmith district of the National Land Company , was held at the district office , 2 , Little Vale Place , Hammersmith-road , on Sunday evening , January 16 th . Mr Jame 3 Millwood in the chair . Ou the motion of _Messrs E . Stallwood and Olifer , the follow _, ing resolutions were unanimously adopted : — 'That this meeting is of opinion , that it is of the first importance that our director ( Mr O'Connor ) should continue to hold a seat in parliament , and that fundi should be rai .-cd to defeat the attempt made to unseat him . This meeting is further of opinion that

      were each member o the Jvational Land Company to subscribe threepence immediitely , and place it in the hands of the local secretary for transmission to the Central Office , 144 , High Ilolborn , tbe necessary gum would . be raised ; this meeting , therefore , _pledges itself to subscribe a sum of not less than three pence per member , and trusts that every member of the L _* nd Company will do likewise . That a book be kept open for the receipt of subscriptions from memo ber ' _s and friends at the district office ( Mr Stall wood's ) , 2 , Little Vale-place , a sufficient time to admit cf all subscribing . ' The members and friends presenthaving handed in their subscriptions , the meeting dissolved .

      Haslet asd _Sbbltos . —At a meeting of the above branch , tk 8 following resolution ' , was unanimously passed . — 'That a copy of the Edisbuhgk Weskly _Exphess be taken in for the use of the members of this branch . ' Hcxi .. —At a _meeting of thb branch it was regsived : — ' That £ 15 . of tbe Local Expense Fund be gent to the National Land and Labour Bank . ' Keishxet . —A public meeting for the adoption of the Land Plan , was held in the Working Man ' s Hall , on Monday evening last , Mr James Reeday in tbe chair . Mr Joseph Frith , moved the adoption of tbe petition , and said , that on reverting to the history of the country , he found , that at tbe time of Julins _Cssar , the inhabitants were . considered barbarian ? ,

      8 iace which time we have gone on improving Land and building houses , till we now consider _onrselvts the most civilised people on earth . I cannot but ask , how it happens , after the lapse of so many hundreds of years , that we are here without either _liouse 3 , land , or anything but tbe air we breathe _, have either re « d , or heard , that in ancient times , which ara now termed the barbarous arjes , our ancestors met annually under the canopy of heaven , and passed laws for the whole population . Since tbat time we have had the wars of York and Lancaster , and many other wars , till we have lost the whole ol our ' rights to the soil , and everything else , under kings and priests . I have frequently _remarked , tbat when tie _woolcombersconld earn abaut twenty-fire shillings per _^ eek ,. all went on right , and we only heard of political'wrcngs when tbey were earning eight or tem shillings . I knew that many are in the habit of blaming _manufacturers , _shopkeepers ,

      and ethers , but tbat convinces me that our pivseat condition is owing to ourselves . If the working cias 3 _csnld only see how the want of the vote unmans them , they would never rest satisfied , goc . d times or had , till they got it . Tha Land is ihe source of all _living , and without that , and the vo'e to protect it , wc only live and breathe through sufferance . We have at present such a Land C irapauy as the world never before saw but are they Lir . d ¦ members all up to the rourk ? I am afraid that many * them have become members _through private _mos . _^ and not through a wish to work out the _*¦** of their class . The present Parliament is * t we ever saw , and corresponds perfectly _¦*<• present state of erajJoymeut , whicii -ackoo character , and the rosnufuc-* j l cucko ° masters , who lin * . i _*« then when it suits thfir _pur" _** -wesent _, you will alwa ? s

      hear the persons who do not work saying , we won " der what is to become of the labouring elass . This question always sounds very curious in my ears , and I think it would be much more natural to hear the labouring class _wandering what would become of those who did not labour . _Maiay of the manufacturers cry out against the Land Plan while they are paving us at the rale of seven and eight shillings per week , but I am confident that a change to thcLand would be a great benefit - fit only advanced onr wages from eight to twelve shillings per week . If the working class would only unite themselves and their penee thoy would carry the Land and the Charter or anything else , and as long as they bave this power and will not help themselves ,

      how can they expect others to help them?—Mr W . Emraett , who seconded the adoption of tbo petition , said : We are met to advocate the plan of a mm wbo has always stood by tbe labouring class , and if we were only half as true to ourselves as that man Is to us , we should very soon carry both Land and Charter . lam _quite sure that if ever anything is done by parliament for the labouring elass , it will be done on account of the numbers demanding , and 'his is an excellent opportunity of showing our numbers . We have manufactured till we are nearly aH beggars ranging through the streets , not * Britons shall never be _alavea , ' while many of those in emp loyment are earning only eight shillings per week . I _wou'd recommend all to _aignthe petition and endeavour to

      get upon the Land , for unless we adopt a plan of this kind , those who are now earning twenty-five _rfvilljnga per week , will not be doing so next January . The manufacturers are _associatifig together to do away with the ten hours clause , but if the operatives can be so degraded as to sign their petition , they will deservo to work not only eleven buttvrenty-four hours per day for nothing . Do not willingly slave for eight shillings per week , but let every . eomber enter the Land Company , and depend upon sunshine and showers , rather than upon manufacturing , for a living . —Mr John Town supported the petition in an able and argumentative speech . Ho said that if parliament would act as fairly with this petition as they had done with many of those belonging to other Joint Stock Companies , they would not have much Jo fear . They granted one million to the Irish Clergy who could not collect their tithes . If they did this , they surely could not refuse the la

      bouring class the benefit of getting their materials free . They also granted twenty millions to emancipate the black slave ? , and if they refuse us thia small b o _^ n , I must say that their talk about representing the labouring class of England is all humbug . Mr O'Connor has had to contend with hired _eoribblers wbo have attacked him through tbe Land Plan ; the people , however , bave full confidence in bim . and as a further proof of hia honesty , he now proffers to hand over the funds to government , only requiring the power oi direction to see that it ia honestly carried out . I am aware that three acreB of land will net maintain a man running a horse and Rig ; it will require a good many acreB to do that , but I believe that three acres will maintain a man and his family able and wiiliug to work ; and if it will not do so , they can then return to their employers and take what they please to give them . The petition was then unanimously _passed , and persona appointed to see it signed by the inhabitants .

      Laxcaster . —This branch now numbers between sixty and seventy members , who have subscribed upwards of £ 100 , to the funds of tha company . At a full meeting of the members held on the 16 th inst . the following resolutions were adopted withon y two dissentients : — 'That it is the opinion of this meeting , the establishment of a new company at present would tend to destroy the confidence of the members generally , and ought , therefore , to bo postponed until three-fourths of the present members are located . ' ' That , in the opinion of this meeting , the directors will bave sufficient employment in looking after the business and interests of the prtsent Company , and that _anoiher company ought to be managed by other directors . ' 'That a copy of these resolutions ba sent to tne Northern Stab , and another copy t » the directors . ' At theabove meeting two-thirds of the members declared that they would cease to be memhers , if a new _enmpany was started by the directors of the present Company . John Harbison , Sec .

      Leicester . —The shareholders' meeting at the Land Pavilion , Plough Inn , have passed a resolution of confilcnce in the directors , asd pledged themselves to defend Mr O'Connor ' s seat in Parliament _Moustai . v , near Halifax .- —At the weekly meetins of this branch , held at the house of Abraham Butterfield _, on Monday evening last , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — ' That we have jjheard W 1 -h pain and indignation of . the unprincipled and disgraceful persecution which has

      been commenced against our honoured champion , F . O'Connor , _E-q . M . P . ; and having _fu'l confidence in his honesty and integrity , we believe that these perse cutionBare commenced with a view to crush him , and through him the cause of liberty . And we hereby pledge ourselves to render him all the pecuniary support ia our power ; and that in aid of this object a vigorous subscription be commenced forthwith * And we earnestly request every Chartist and member of the Land Company , to do the same , and disappoint the tools of faction . '

      Newcastle-cpon-Tysb , —The adjourned _discission on the petition of the members of the Land Company , ss proposed by Mr O'Connor in tho Star of December 25 th , _vrns resumed last Sunday evening , when the following resolution , as passed by our brother _membi'rs of Warwick , was carried by aa overwhelming _ruajsrity : —' That we regard the _suggestion of Mr O'Connor , lo hand over the Land Company to the tender mercies of an irresponsible government , as a matter fraught with many serious objections ; and that ao long as the majority-of tbis _company being _non _« e ' ectors _* . are without the pale of the British constitution , and defrauded of the rights of citizenship—' and so long as the nation is cursed with the present system of class legislation , we

      utterly object to any governmental interference with the property of this company—and while we gratefully applaud M _^ _r O'Connor ' s disinterestedness , nnd implicitly rely on his honour , integrity , and patriotism , we respectfully suggest that a full conference of delegates from every branch of the company should be held in London , to consider well this subject , and to weigh the matter gravely , before we petition tho present government to incorporate our Land Company under the baneful infiueuce of their despotic system of centralisation , as we should deeply deplore tho day that ever saw the _L- ; nd Company fastened to tho _leading string ? of an irresponsible crown minister , and our labour fields converted into a second edition of our hataful pauper unions . '

      Macclesfield —At the quarterly meeting of this branch the following persons were elected to serve on committee : —John Asbton , Jaraes Alien , John Allen . Edward Alton , Samuel Bunting , Samuel _Puibins Brown , John Burgess ; David Mild , scrutineer ; Benjamin _Ciandler , president * Thomas _Wadswortb , vice-president ; John HiJl , Land Fund treasurer ; Nathan D . Briggs _, local treasurer ; Thomas Leech , secretary . Resolved : — ' That the be 3 t thanks of this meetingare due , and hereby given _, to John Warren , the retiring secretary , for his zeai and attention during his terra of office ; and lhat we present him with one Eovereign as a testimonial of our appreciation of his services . ' New Radford . —The petition to Parliament in favour of the Land Plan has been adopted by this branch ; and a subscription has been opened to enable Mr O'Connor to defend hia seat .

      _OxFona —A tea party and ball waa held here on Monday _evening , to celebrate the success of one of their members , ( Mr Carlisle ) in the late ballot . The party wa 3 numerously and respectably attended , and the arrangements such as gave general satisfaction . When the tables were removed , Mr _Bridgewater was unanimously called to the chair , and Introduced Mr Doyle to the meeting to speak to the following sentiment : — 'The _NationaVLand Company , may the whole of its members be speedily located , and " enjoy the comforts and blessings which it is calculated to bestow . " MrDojle , in responding , explained the rise and progress of tho company : In little more than two years , they had raised the sure of £ 100 , 000 ; had purchased estates consisting of 2 . 000 acres _. audbad _atthe-presenttime : the sum of £ 33 , 000 in Exchequer Bills bearing interest at six

      and a half per cent _7 ; was tbat not better than investin * their money in the _government savine 3 bank Mr D . expatiate ! at great length on the advantages of the Land Plan ; and concluded amid much applause . The chairman then called on T . M . Wheeler to respond to ' the National Charter Association , _asd may the people speedily attain those rights whieh from the very fact of { heir birth , they are entitled to . ' The speaker traced the baneful effects _t . f bad government—showed the justice of the _Ciiartsr , and sat down much applauded . Mr , G . Wheefe ?' responded to the sentiment ef— ' The ladies , and may they enjoy every _blessinj ; and _prosperity whieh a free government is calculated to bestow on them .

      _IO THE CHABTISTS OF SREAT _BttlTAlN . Friends and Bbethren , ---Our not having a hall in London , in which to advocate the principles of Chartism and Political Equality , has been long a source oi deep _r-gret , and constant annoyance to us . We have been iuformid , sometimes with a . smiling counttnanee , _sotnetiroej in the harsh grating tones of assumed sup ; riority ( when npplyiug for a place in which to hold public meetings , to petition for a r _.--drcss of our _grievance , and to expose the miseries the working classes labour nuder ) , by tho patties to whom we havo applied , that according to their lease , they _cnuld not let it to any party , who _advocate the ri ghts of tho whole naticn , in opposition to tho « e who contend that it is _iu-it , tight , and pvoper to give them to

      one-Si-vcnth of the community , and to retain tho other sixseventh ? as serfs aud slaved , through *; a deprivation of thtir _ciiil and natural rights . In otlier instances Wihaw b ; en charged an exorbitant _price , ivhich we have been _compelled to _p-. iy _, or to allow measures to puss of which wb rU-approve , without being nblo to express our dissatisfaction , cr to lose _aiijopr _. ortuuity of making ourselves h . ard , when our voices might bo of creat avail _, _eitbsr in _aasuUfig a popular _mea & ure , or defeating an unpopular one . In order to rid ourselves of this annoy _, _auce _, we must hare a Central Chartist Hall , a national

Signed by order of tbe meeting , Jonn _Hbohes , chairman , Aifbed Fbhnkm ,, swetary . Supported by Messrs Tucker , Allnutt , W . Salmon . Carried unanimously . _

      Mr Tucker brought a fetter from Mr Porter , an allottee , at Lowhands , _giting a most excellent ac count of his improved health and condition ; which was read by MrW . Salmon , as Mr Tucker had to leave on important business . Mr Nobbs moved a vote of thanka to Mr Tucker , for his attendance , and other cervices in the cause of Chartism . _Seconded by Mr Cater . _, Carried unanimously .

      Supported by Messrs Elijah Nobbs , Cftter , and W . Salmon . Carried unanimously . Meeting adjourned to January 23 rd . _CUNTBAI REOlSTRATlOfl AND _E & ECnON COMMITTEE . —The following sums have been received since the accounts wero audited , and could not therefore nppear in the _balance-sheeet : —Macclesfield , £ 1 ; W .

      In answer to tha parties _writing from _Daedhurst , Brain , and Winchester , I have to say the sums they mention were receivod , but as they were sent by individuals , they are put down in the miscellaneous amount iu tke balance- sheet , but were properly acknowledged in the Stab atthe time . To place eaeh person ' s name in the Star balance sheet would fill one side , as the items sent by individuals vary from 2 d . to 10 s . There have also been many sums acknowledged _^ the Star , by parties they have been sent to , with no namo at all , but merely for the Election Committee , and it has cost ten times the labour to trace the sums , than it would have done in postage , if Bent direct to the proper parties ; a nd some of such sums

      have never yet been traced . The committee have , therefore resolved : — ' That , for the future , they will not take any notice , or give any answers about any names that may be sent otherwise than through their secretary , and made payable to him at the Lambeth poBt-office , if above ten shillings—if under , they may be sent in _postage-stamps . ' If our country friends were aware of the trouble and annoyance they cause by sending monies to so many parties , and how often their communications are lost through being mixed up with other matters , they would see at once tbat the savins of the postage would be but a trifle . —James _GuMSBt , secretary , 8 , Noah ' s Axkcourt , Stangate , Lambeth .

      Ha?Mar7t«T Theatbe.—Thb Wife's Secret.—I...

      HA ? MAR 7 t _« T Theatbe . —Thb Wife ' s Secret . —It is not often we have the pleasing task of recording such a triumph of histrionic and dramatic artai it _wasnur goi _. d fortune to witness at the above theatre on Monday night last . Of tbe author ' s skill in constructing his play , we need say nothing more than that , although the plot was simplo in the extreme , and , indeed , transparent before the end oi the first act ,. Mr Lovell has succeeded _inmaintaining a thrilling and ' unflagging interest to the very close . An old , but faithless _steward of Sir Walter AroyoU , —an officer of high trust under Cromweli _' _s government—being detected in his malpractices by Lady Amyott during her husband ' s absence , and fearing detection ,

      _deteiminea on blasting the character of the wife in her husband ' s eyes . Scaroely has Sir Walter Amyott returned home , before he commences his maohina . tions . Meanwhile Lord Arden , Lady Arayott ' s bro-Cher , and a fugitive Royalist , Hying from his pursuers , secretly enters Sir Walter ' s house , and _thmwa himself on his sister ' s protection—from whom he extracts a solemn oath of _secresy , since he believes Sir Walter can never forgive the personal insults he has received at the hands of his enemy . Lady Amyott conceals her brother in the very room in which she keeps the fraudulent accounts of the faithless steward—and , on her husband ' s return , has , at her maid ' s impromptu _suegestion to Sir Walter the room blocked up and abandoned , on the plea of reminding

      her of her past hours ot solitude . The endeavours nf the steward to enter the room for the purpose of recovering his papers—his discoveries there—the refusal of the wife to _surrender the key—Sir Walter Amyott ' s . confidence and love battling with the seeming proofs of guilt—the night in which he obtains apparent certainty of his wife's guilt—the attempted search of the house by a Parliamentary officer—and the unconsciousness all the while of being suspected , on the part of Lady Amyott , with the crushing explanation at last , and the subsequent denouement , afford materials for some of the most effective scenes that have emanated from the pen of a modern dramatist . Notwithstanding it merits , however , we are bound to confess that the play owes its chief success

      to the admirable performance of Mr and Mrs Charles Kean , whose return to the metropolis was hailed by the enthusiastic cheers ofa crowded house . Mrs Kean wo hold to be the most natural , and , therefore , the roost effective actress we possess . She never strains after an effect , and therefore always achieves it , and in her performance on Monday night , as Lady Amyott , we saw exemplified the perfection of feminine delicacy and womanly dignity . Mr Charles Kean , as Sir Walter Amyott . has , we think , fairly established his position as the first tragedian of the day . In the brief notice which the crowded state of our columns necessarily compels , we cannot do justice to the many excellencies of his performance . We seldom heard any . thing finer than the genuine feeling of loving conviction that characterised his reply to the following words of his wife : —

      1 never had a thought or wish Would blusb before thine eye—were It not so , I could not look thus fearless in thy face , And meet thy _conusance . Sib _Walteb : I know it , dear one . Or the calm confidence resting in the tone with which he addresses his wife , when-called to confront j the charge 03 her accuser : — I

      What hast thou done to _cialte this man thy foe ? Nor can we pass by another passage , _addressed to the steward ( Jabez Sneed ) , when his heart is struggling despairingly against the almost certainty of his wife ' s guilt * . — Mis some hellish plot By d _nions gendered—thou ( to Jabot ) none _likelier Sin ; said thou wast a knave . Say thou hast done tbis—Confess it—and thy knavery shall he Above all virtue ! Dost thou crave for gold ? Tako _it—tska all I have—I crave it not—Take all my wealth—my home—my honours—land . Strip bare ray body—take my health—my strength—My blood—my life—but _sparo me Eveline .

      We sincerely _eonefatnlate the manager of the Haymarket on having produced so excel'ent a play , and secured Mr and Mrs Kean , f .. r what , however , we regret to learn , is but a limited _engagement . We have seen too little of them hitherto in the metropolis . We should be unjust wero we in this notice to puss by the admirable acting of Mrs Keeley as the wailing maid , and of Mr Webster as the steward . At the close of the play , Mr and Mrs Kean were loudly called for , and appeared amid a storm of applause , and a shower of ' wreaths . ' Mrs Keeler , as also the author , were compelled to ' bow their thanks . ' The play was announced for repetition every night of Mr and Mrs Kean ' s engagement . This is oae of the few instances ofa great , a legitimate , and a deserved _succt > s- —Mid will , we hope , commence a new era in our dramatic annals .

      Astlkt's Amphitubatbs.—That Gorgeous Mil...

      Astlkt ' s Amphitubatbs . —That gorgeous military spectacle ' The Camp of Silosia . ' still continues to draw crowded houses . The plot , if fio it may be called , is very slender , and consists of the war between the Prussians under Frederick the Great , and the Hungarians . * Loopold , ' ( . VIr Silver , ) a _Prussiau soldier , and son of ' Salburn , ' ( Mr Johnson , ) aretired general , is for a breach of military discipline , ( on the opening of the piece , ) to ha shot on tho following day : but Frederick , expecting a _battle gives orders for his release , that he might wipe out the stain by a glorious death ; nevertheless , it ho survive the contest , his sentence is to be executed on the morrow . _' Conrad' ( Mr Barry , ) a silly flutist , joins the Prussian army . Tho armies meet and a

      desperate battle ensues , in which the King is separated from his troops by the enemy , and meets ' Conrad ' and his lover ' Theresa , ' ( Miss Lydia Pearce , ) who are puzz ! ed _ to give an account of themselves , ' Frderick * in turn is _questioned , arid is equally embarrassed * he iiowever preserves his incognito , and is conductel by tbe lovers to the Castle of Salburn . The castle is besieged by the Hungarians , and Frederick , who has made himself known by the advice of ' _Ayesha , ' ( Mrs Moreton Brooks , ) _changes his dress with ' Conrad , ' and is by her led out of the castle , when the King succp . ssfu ! ly plays thefl itist , and effects his escape . ' Conrad' siakes his appearance in the King ' s dress , and is detained a prisoner by the Hungarians . ' Frederick' in the meantime

      _hasjoined his army , and _having arranged his ' plans for attacking tho enemy , by a strange _sensrosity seldom to ba met with in kings , again assumes the garb of the flutist , and throws himself into the hands of the enemy , in order to liberate the simpleton ' Conrad . ' _B-.-th try their skill on the flute , and are detained prisoners to amuse the leisure hours of their captors . 'Leopold , ' who has discovered the retreat of the King , tries to effect' Frederick ' s' escape by stratagem , but fails . The Prussian army , however , arrives , and alter a desperate contest is ' victorious . Such is the plot of the ' Camp of Silesia , ' which by the immense auxiliaries and resources of this theatro _tocher with splendid , yot chaste coftume _, is a most brilliant spectacle . Nothing ot the stage can _surpass the review oftho Prussian army ; eaoh

      evolution was performed with the nicest precision , nnd the performers appeared to vie with each other in _doingjustico to tho parts assigned them . Thr- acting of Mr Barry is rich , an < _l devoid of tbe low _buff-jnrery of clowns . in general . Miss Pearce -Ako played luv part admirably . —The Pantomrme _, ' Dr Syntax and his Dapper Grey Marc , ' is chiefly founded on the school-boy tale of 'Tommy and Harry , ' pupils nf tho Doctor . Tho opening scene , the Cavern of Horse Shoos , introduces us to the evil genius ot the' Doctor ; ' the grey mare is shod , and " a magic r . _iiil driven which paralyses her powers of locomotion . Then follows a 3 plendic ! scene of the Good _Gt-nius , and the arrival of the _Qnten of Industry \ n ner special train , who resolves to _baftls- the uower of the Evil One . The school room brings forw ' ard . the . brothera , Tommy aad Harry ; ' the one in l . _^ with hia book

      and his masters _maidof-all-work , —the other in love with play , and 'I dm'tcare . ' A _fuht ensues _beU- een thera , in which they are assisted by'Mrs Syntax , ' who beats the ' Doctor' as well as the _boya . Tha ' Doctor' sets out on Ms journey , followed by bis Evil _. Genius ; the ma e won't go , and the ' D _> ctor * to beguile his tirne _^ sketches the finger post on tha barren moor , which changes to a beautiful landscape to the astonishment oftbe' Doctor ; ' he is _ilxn , robbed of his mare and parse and bound to a tree from , which he is released by two market women ' , . - 1 . _„« : _J . r . ll ntn .

Then the fun omm » _noc 8—hard _blowB and sharp wit—magical scenery and wonderful scenery—dancing . & c . Most of the tricks are original and excellent .

      Thb _Chumical History op _D'itspgcTiov , _AXu _tiiub _b-cmtow m _Sasatobt MBASURKs .-For some time past ur _Uachboifner has been actively _enuacprl in delivering , at the Polytechnic _Iasti _' _iution _, a course of lectures on ventilation , respiration , Ac , in connexion with sanatory measures . Dunn » tha past week the subject was taken up by Dr " j ., ha Ryan who _rnakw his lecture a sequence to Dr Bac _^ offner ' s , and enters at length into the chemical character of vitiated air , the nature of infection and the history of remedial agents . The Doctor in hilecture

      opening s spoke as follows :- 'One of ' tha great objects of an institution like the _Pslytechnin is , to bring before tho world , by means of apt inU 3 _< _trationa , the various discoveries and applications of scientific research . Whenever it is practicabl e we certainly endeavour to clothe our instructions in tho most pleasing ' , and even amusing guise ; and whera we can _legitiaiately doso , _^ _echoose those sub ' . _jcta which admit ef the most striking and brilliant experiments . On the present occasion , however , I am called on by a _eense of public duty to lecture ' on a topic of such paramount importance that , although

      it may afford us but few illustrative exiterimente _, and those not of a showy character , yet I am sure y » u wilUonsider it worthy of your undivided attention . ' It would far exceed our limits to _fo'low the learned gentleman through hia admirable and highly important lecture , and from this cause we must close our brief notice , by relating a melancholy cir . cumstance mentioned by the Doctor in the course of his discourse , relative to one of these disinfectants ' as they are erroneously called , and nitrite of lead M . Ledoyen , liqnid 1 . Col . Calvert , who was _asaol ciated with M . Ledoyen in the matter , and whow correspondence with government was not only voluminous , but most decided in its tone , relating to tha " power of the compounds over infectious _miasmarii

      has just fallen a victim to fever in Canada , to which place he and M . Lednyen were sent , officially to test the virtues of the liquid . The inventor himself is returning home with shattered health . After explaining the modus operandi of all the agents in removing odour—a process dependant on the removal of hydrogen from its basis , sulphur and phosphorus —the lecturer concluded by emphatically _begi-in _* hia audience not to _trurt to the chemical agents , but to the more simple operations of ventilation , _li---ht drainage , cleanliness and temperance . a '

      DEATHS . On the Mtli inst ., at Drrgheda , Mr Patrick _Jfasrrone _, weaver . Dis ' o .-s will be felt to a large circle of friends , particularly the Chartists of Drogheda . In 1830 , he was selected from a large , body of his trade in _Drogheda to attend a Parliamentary Committee in LondoH . to piva evidence on the state of the handloom weavers , when ho acquitted himself to the perfect satisfaction of the tmde ; His death will be received in Barnslev , where he resided for a number of years , by his brother * , t _'> e ' Old Guards ' with feelings of regret . He has left a wife and a helpless family to mourn his loss , May _tliatl-appiness which was denied him in this world , be his in the next , is the earnest wish of his sorrowing friends . [ The correspondent who has commuuicated the above , states that the widow and children of the deceased patriot .- 'rein a state _ofiieplor able destitution . Our correspondent e . _xpi-ossts a hops that the Chartists of Ireland and Barnsley will set _tU 3 example of aidiug the widow and the fatherless — Ed . N . S . _l

      ToDMonDEN .-John Scholfield , _RoomSeld-lane , was in . tered at Old i . 'hurch , TodmorJsn , on Friday , January 7 th . He was escorted to his long home bv a _select num . ber from the Ancient Foresters , and Gardeners' Clubs both of which clubs he wns a member . The _deceased has brought up a large family , to the whole of whom he iias given good trades . His aim through life has been to leave the world better than ha found it . He was a ' con . sistent Radical for the last twenty years , and was a mem . ber oftho Land Company . He was a kind _neighbour , an affectionate husband , and a good _f-. _vther . His last words were , a prayer that O'Connor wOwld succeed in carry _, ing out his Land Scheme , and by the assistance of the people , ciirry the Charter . He has left an affectionate partner who will greatly lament his loss .

      Stockport . —Thomas Saxby , of Wellington street , a true _democrat , departed this lifeon the ' . 'Uth of December , is 17 . ilis remains were borne to their last resting pluua 011 Tuesday , the 4 th of January , by a number of ihe Char _, tist body , according to his request before his death . He was a member of the . Land Company , aud a constant reader of the Stab , and was always ready to assist tha labourer against tho _encroachmtnt of capital . lie was respected by all who knew him . His last words were , ' Could I but have , seen myself upon the laud , I could havo left the world with pleasure . ' Lkitu . —On the _2 Sth ult ., Robert Allen , long a steady and consistent advocate of democratic principles . His abilities and information were of no common order , and he was long an active member oftho . _Edmburgh Chartist Committee . ' To the last moment of his existence , sel £ interest was sacrificed at tha altar of liberty , and the hope of his country ' s ultimate emancipation was the foremo 3 t passion in his breast . Mr Allen was a seaman , and was pressed in 1801—was present iu the Temeraire , 93 , atthe _Hattls of Trafalgar , at the capture of tho . _Miiien- _^ o , mid Belle l _' oule , at the stupid expedition to WalcUereu ,

      where' Our . flower was iu Flushing When _oli g h ting was nearest , ' as Walter Scott has it . Though a pressed man he never had a mark set against his name ; and the writer of this notice , desirous of rendering him a service unknown to himself , wrote to Ai ' mirnl SirE . Codringtoii about him , and _rtquestedhis interest to get a little help for Allen , as an old companion in arms . To make tho prajer more effective , the anniversary of the battle in whieh both had fought was selected to urge the request—viz ., -J . . . _\ h of October , lSuD . But thcgallantand lucky Admiral paid no attention tn the matter . Allan . was one of the broken ' tools which tyrants cast away , ' an instrument tha : could be of no further service to Mm in mounting the _ladi-U-r of ambition , hence his neglect . When fucIi is tV ; e reward ot rave merit , your sentiment , Mr _. Editor _, will . be echoed from one end of tte country to the other , No Vote no Musket . '
