The popular belief is that she is so divided and protected by water-tfier.. 4 . compartments that iu the event of her bow or stern, ilk.' parts unprotected by armour-plating, .being partiall.;• destroyed. by an enemy's shot, she would still float and fight her guns nearly as efficiently as she did beforc her bow or stern was injured.

By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan. Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Aedical Circular.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EV THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. Easter Monday has been from time immemorial the great outdoor festival of the artisans of London, but it is seldom that in our fickle climate they are blessed with such genial holiday weather as smiled upon them yesterday. There was an occasional passing cloud, and a few timid persons foreboded showers, but their fears were falsified; not a drop fell, and, with few exceptions, the sun shone out brilliantly. In consequence the streets were from an early hour crowded with persons in their holi day dresses, hurrying along to various scenes of enjoyment and relaxation. The votaries of fresh country air were numerous, but there was a large portion also who spent the day in the places of amusement which were opened on tho occasion. In the evening, also, the theatres were crowded. We subjoin a report of the proceedings at the prin cipal places of entertainment : the dialogue was one continued succession of jests, good, bad, anil indifferent, but almost all of the most desperate and haphazard description ; and challenging admiration quite as much of the auda city as of the wit of their inventor. The success of the performance was like its general merits, of a somewhat mixed character. The play did not ap pear to meet with the complete approbation of the audience, but it elicited frequent laughter, and it until further notice. was announced amidst some appl ause f o r repetition ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. In selecting Easter Monday for the first of the Monday performances this season, the director, as a matter of course, selected the opera which he conceived, more than any other in the repertory, would engage the attention of the general public. The performance of " Guillaume Tell" last night was, perhaps, the most complete of the four given this season ; at least it was a vast improvement on the third representation given on Saturday week, When, in consequence of M. Zelger's sudden illness in the second act, the grand trio for Arnold, Tell, and Walter—one of the most magnificent numbers in the score—had to be omitted, M. Zelger had last night recovtkcti the - MI :Use of his — powers; ald there was uo drawback on his account. There was more than the usual excitement, although the stalls were half empty, and the boxes but tolerably filled. The amphitheatre and gallery, however, were crowded to suffocation. HAYMARKET. The management of this theatre was content to stand by the programme which has proved attrac tive for same time past, adding, however, the Spanish ballet of the "Star of Andalusia," in which Senora Perea Nena sustained the principal part with that ability which made her exceedingly popular some years ago when she appeared in London. PRINCESS'S. Messrs. Pechter and Yates' new five act drama of "The Golden Daggers" was repeated here last evening, with " Cash v. Cupid" as a lever de rideau. As so full a notice was given in our yesterday's im pression, we need merely note that the new play was received with increased favour. ADELPHI. Last night the management of the New Adelphi produced,for the edification of their holiday visitors, what is described in the bills as being "a new roman tic drama, in two acts, by Dion Boucicault, Esq., entitled, The Phantom." The scene of the drama is laid in the Highlands of Scotland, and Messrs. T. Grieve and W. Telbin are thereby afforded an excellent opportunity for the display of their well known ability. The ruins of the Castle of Ravens cleugh by moonlight, painted by the former, was an admirable scene, and was loudly cheered by the au dience ; and the Peaks of Ben Nevis, by W. Telbin, was equally effective, and also called forth repedted rounds of cheering. In fact, these two scenes kept the audience in good humour, and enabled the drama to work on to the conclusion. The comic business of the piece was decidedly the best, and Mr. J. L. Toole ; as a Highland peasant, aided very materially in carrying the first act through. Nothing could be more truthfully ludicrous than his exhibition of terror in the haunted castle, and he received his reward in several rounds of applause. The comic business in the second act rested upon the immortal Paul Bedford, and that very interesting young actress, Miss Latimer, and it is needless to say that! it was well sustained. We must add that Mr. S. Emery was exceedingly happy in the portraiture of an eccentric doctor, and which his dramatic tact and experience enabled him to make a prominent character. On the fall of the curtain there was loud applause from the gallery, which was followed by some hissing from the pit and boxes, after the prin cipal characters had bowed their acknowledgments. The entertainments concluded with the new domes tic drama of "Dot," founded upon the well-known story by Charles Dickens, Esq. LYCEUM. The performances as this theatre commenced last evening with the old farce of " The Blue Devils." The part of Meagrim was played by Mr. Walter Lacy in an amusing and laughable manner, but the revival of this piece to thosa who remember the style in which it was acted some half century ago will not prove satisfactory. Mr. Selby played the landlord with much volubility, and Miss Laidlaw looked very pretty and interesting as Annette. The farce was followed by " The Peep o' Day" for the 135th time. With a view, we suppose,, of infusing fresh spirit into the pre-eminently successful drama, Mr.G. Melville has been substituted for Mr. Herman Vezin in the part of Harry Kavanagh, but, like most alterations, it is no improvement. Mr. Mel ville is most certainly a very careful actor, but then he wants the youth and vivacity of Mr. Herman Vezin. The new musical ballet followed, entitled " Killarney." It commences with the scenery from the lakes, by Mr. Telbin, which has been so frequently praised and admired that we only need say on the present occasion that it has lost none of its freshness and beauty. In the course of the diorama Miss Whitty sung a new ballad in three verses, by Balfe, with good effect, and was much applauded. A new scene was added, entitled "The Fairies' Haunts." It consisted of a most extensive lake scene, by moonlight, but the principal novelty was a shadow dance by the corps de ballet, in a brilliant moonlight thrown upon the front of the stage by the newly, invented" method. The fairies produced some very pretty effects by their white scarves being keptlup against the light of the moon, elicit ing continuous applause, which:ended in a repeti . tion of the dance, for which the moon did not seem prepared, for the gambols of the dancers had not concluded when a sudden and entire eclipse took place, or perhaps fair Luna objected to encores bn principle. However, the Goddess of Night relented, and shone forth again before the dance was over for the second time. Miss Lydia Thompson then went through a shadow dance as a pas seul. The first pose may, as regards grace, if not for other reasons, be decidedly modified for the better ; the rest was remarkable for much vigorous execution and spirited exertion. The quick step was encored, h ta n m a p n s d o n receivedw a was c a a l e b d o u a o u r e w t . r fad and at tli the fail M i ss of the L yd i c a u rl OLYMPIC. "The World of Fashion," with its melodramatic exhibition of the vicissitudes of modern life, still re tains its hold on the favour of the audience at this theutre, and was the first piece performed yest 4 - day even i ng . Then followed a new extravaganza, entitled "Fair Rosamond ; or, the Ma ze , the Maid, and the Monarch." We had here one of those very free-and-easy burlesques in which the only object of the writer seems to be to introduce every species of joke, pun, and whimsical allusion which the most violent use of rhyme without reason renders possible, consistently with the employment of any language which ordina ry peop l e could find in any Way in telligible. Th e rec kl ess humour of the auth or lost nothing in the very unrestrained acting of the prin cipal performers, and, above all, of Mr. Robspn, who personated the jealous wife of King Henry with all the oddity of which this strange disguise was susceptible. The incidents of the piece were meant, we take it fo r granted, to b e as i m p robable as the imagination of mu could make them, and ST. JAMES'S. There was no Easter novelty at this theatre, but a new fairy extravaganza is promised before the holiday season shall altogether have passed, from the pen of Mr. William Brough, author of " Endy mien, Perseus and Andromeda," and several other successful pieces. As an additional attraction there is also an announcement that the Misses Nelson of New York and Australian celebrity, will take ad vantage of the occasion to make their first bow to a London audience. Yet, notwithstanding the absence of any zrovelty, there was a numerous at tendance of visitors, and the reputation of this place of amusement was fully sustained by the character of the performances. The pieces represented were " Friends and Foes," a comedy translated by Mr. Horace Wigan froze " Nos Intimes," a play which has had considerable success in Paris; a comic scene entitled " Under the Rose," and Mr. Bayle Bernard's farce of " The Boarding School." SADLER'S WELLS. ' 'The entertainments commenced with an eniirely . now vatedietta, in two acts, entitled "Folly," fol lowed by a new operetta called " All's fair in L ove or War," which contains some very pretty mus i c and songs that cannot fail to become pop u l ar . I t is hardly ne cessar y to say that Miss C a th er i ne Lucette, as Marian Grange, played the princip a l character most effectively, and indeed was very ably assisted by Mr. A. Locksley, as Pierre Chose, wh o , as principal tenor, maintained his former reputa tion, by Mr. H. Forrester, in the character of Colonel D'Arville, and the other members of the company. The piece is a mere trifle as a com position, and its plot a very simple one. After the abdication of Napoleon in 1814, on*the entry of the allied armies into Paris, Major Grange, an old Eng lish officer, was a prisoner of war, and his daughter Marian had, during his captivity, formed an attach ment for Pierre Chose (Mr. A. Locksley), a you ng corporal of the 15th Regiment, stationed in Pari s . Colonel d'Arville, the colonel, had himself an e y e upon Miss Grange, and by a variety of practi ces " unbecoming an officer and a gentleman," perse cuted the young people for a considerable time: His course of conduct enabled Miss C. Lucette to display not only her vocal powers with great effect, but dramatic ability of the very first order. Th e p i ece was eminently successful, and at its termination , the whole company sang the national anthem. NEW ROYALTY. We have from time to time noticed in terms of just commendation the spirited endeavours of the lessee of this neat and well-situated theatre to achieve popularity by giving nicely-selected operettas sus tained by good singers. Last night presented a rare combination of novelty of first-rate character. The performances commenced with the popular trifle of " Carnation of Carnation Cottage," quite suited to the beginning of an evening's entertainment, when half the auditors have not arrived, and when the opening and shutting of doors would cause greater annoyance were a piece of higher pretension on the stage. An entirely new operetta, composed expressly for the theatre, entitled " Catching a Husband," the music by M. Proceda Bucalossi, was promised, but at the 11th hour Mr. Ben Barnett, the acting and stage manager, and a thoroughjudge of such things, considered that two or three more rehearsals were necessary, and so postponed the production of the musical novelty for a night or two. In lieu of it, however," Mons. Jacques" was presented, Mr. Bar nett sustaining the part of the poor forlorn French man with thrilling Wiles. Then followed a clever burlesque, entitled " The Lady ofthe Lake. 33 ' Aflow ing for a great deal of broad humour and puns, the incidents of " La Donna del Lago" are adhered to in some fashion. The scenery also is well painted and quite appropriate. Fitzjames is gallantly represented by Miss Julia Craven, who gave her music with taste and spirit. Rhoderick Dhu is sustained with due attention to costume and with much force and earnestness by Mr. J. B. Dale ; the retainer of Earl Douglas, Allan Bane, was well represented in nigger trim by Mr. D. James, who at once made himself at home with the audience by his exaggerated dress and manner. The Malcolm Grceme of the evening was Miss Lillie Lonsdale, a promising debatunte. This young lady is graced with several personal attractions; her physique is admirably adapted to the stage ; she is evidently very young, and of course inexperienced, but her artistic verve must render her in a short time a valuable additioi to the metropolitan boards. She sang in a pleasing con tralto several melodies, and was much app auded. Douglas, a heavy " parient," was humorowly sus tained by Mr. Warren ; Ellen, the Lady of the Lake, was piquantly played by Miss Margaret Cooper, and she found an able supporter it Mr. J. W. Collier as Lady Margaret. The piece was well put upon the stage; all the accessories were appro priate, and the curtain fell amidst loud apphuse. A STLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. Batty, the present successor of the famed Astley, catering for the Easter holiday-folks, threw the doors of the Royal Amphitheatre open yester day for a morning performance, which commenced at two o'clock, and gave entire satisfactioi to all who witnessed it. In the evening the doors were again thrown open, when the grand Eastern Spectacle, " The Rajah of Nagpore," the Scenes in the Circle, and " Tie Mill in an Uproar," were produced. In " The Rajah of Nagpore," which has already had a run, and which has been most attractively placed upon the stage under the superintendence of Mr. W. Searle. stage manager, Mr. Bell's performing elephants--the largest in England--were intro duced. " Sensible," as it were, that" all this world's a stage," and that even elephants in this march of intellect are expected to play their parts upon it, they showed that they had thoughtfully studied, and that they well understood the characters assigned to them. Perfectinthegiargepnelie:ort form twelve - ances, and well up in their parts, they made the characters their own, and were so rapturously tip* plaud niedtahhatts more, e, afterhave got are -engagement which they mean t o go starring it, and to appeal for support to tieir friends and the public in the provinces.

I n t h e Ci rcle —the great feature of this establishnent—Master George Perks, the youngest and titlitit equestrian in the world, appeared on his pet tithe', and elicited rapturous applause. The other artiste in the Circle —some of them foreign—won genera approbation by their daring and accomplished feat of horseman ship. The whole concluded with " the Mill in an Uproar," a laughable ballet, in whielthe numerous artistes acquitted themselves well and pleased everybody, CRYSTAL PALACJ The votaries of pleasure had a girious day yes terday. So fine an Easter Momity for a great many years has not been experienctl. The Crystal Palace more particularly felt its ufluence in the vast multitude of holiday folk thatthronged every part of this magnificent edifice milts beautiful and picturesque grounds, From au ealy hour the Visi- NG, APRIL 22, 1862. tors Came pouring into the majestic structure in quick succession, the numbers Melling gradually to something like 30,000. The special attwation provided on the occasion WAS the re-appearance of our old and intrepid friend 13iondin, who was ad vertised to make his first ascent this season on the high as well as the low tight rope, GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION. The new entertainment, The Family Legend ; or, Heads and Tales," has proved the most palpable hit Mr. and Mrs. German Reed have had for years. This is, in a great mesa - L.:re, owing to its proceeding from so shrewd and practised a h an d as t h a t o f M r . Tom Taylor, who has combined th e exte ll e nt and the novel in a remarkable degree in it s con coction, The entertainment, too, recommends itself more than entertainments of the kind usually do, inas much as a dramatic thread runs through the whole, and an unbroken interest is given to it Ni hick arrests attention throughout. In addition to the " Family Legend," there is the musical narration of the " Colleen Bawn," sung with so much effect by Mr. John Parry ; and the " Rival Composers," of which we have already spoken on more than one occasion. CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS. This truly attractive company of negro singers continue their performances at the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street, Charing-cross, with un abated success. Their programme for the week is an entirely new one, and comprises some capital dancing and delineations of negro character, and some new comic songs. But, perhaps, the most at tractive features of the cntcrteAnment are the charming ballads so well sung, and the laughable burlesque in which the whole of the company appear. In addition to these some instrumental solos are introduced and the evening's performance, as a whole, is one as varied and pleasing in its nature as the greatest admirer of negro entertain ment could wish it to be: COLOSSEUM. . The saloons of the Colosseum were crowded yes terday by companies of sight-seers, and, what with the stock entertainments and what with the novelties specially designed for the opening of the present season, there can hardly have been one who visited the institution yesterday who could help feeling that he had obtained " his shilling's worth for his shilling." Thirty-three years have elapsed since the Colosseum first put in its claim to be considered one of the sights of the metropolis, and after hav ing for five of these years conducted its arrange ment, Dr. Bachhoffner seems determined not to relax any of his energy during his sixth year of management. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. The Polytechnic has always been a favourite place of resort at holiday time, and those into whose hands the management has now fallen do not seem disposed to allow it to lose its good reputation. This Easter they have provided a most attractive prcgramme, and it was by no means surprising that yesterday morning and evening the building was crowded. In addition to the usual attraction Pro fessor Pepper delivered a most interesting lecture on " Colour in general and coal-tar colours in par ticula," in which he showed in a series of experi ments how coal tar was by a variety of processes made to produce the beautiful colours mauve and magenta. OXFORD MUSIC HALL. " The Oxford" celebrated its second Easter Mon day last night, and although Brighton had its myriads at the review, the Crystal Palace its tens of thousands, and the theatres and other music halls their quota, the inexhaustible thoroughfare of Oxford-street pourel in a stream of visitors to this hall, who filled it in every nook and corner. The amusements commenced earlier than usual, to gra tify the eager curiosity of those " out for the day," and were kept up without intermission to the close. It was not found necessary radically to change the programme, which is always undergoing modifica tion. Thus, tho new cantata lounden upon The Jolly Beggars" of Burns, and composed expressly for this hall by Mr. George Linley, remained a prominent feature in the musical arrangements. This work has already received notice at our hands, and it will be sufficient to say that it goes with increased spirit and effect, now that the singers are warmed up to the music. The cantata made an unmistakeable impression upon a holiday, and, therefore, impressionable audience. They seemed thoroughly to seize the vein in which Burns wrote, and to enjoy his contraband fun. Some of the familiar airs, the best of them being sung with great vocal power and dramatic effect by Mr. Albert, went immensely. In great contrast, bf course, with Scottish national airs, appeared the strains of Verdi's " Trovatore," admirably interpre ted by Miss Russell, Mr. Albert, &o. We may here remark upon the revival of " Norma," played on the last occasion of our visiting this hall, and particularly on the exquisite rendering of the duet between Norma and Adalgisa, Miss Russell and Madame Maria vieing with each other for ascen dancy wilth the audience, and ending in that sortjof vocal duet in which most Normas and Adalgisaslof not widely unbalanced merit have engaged honour of art of course. The set music, under 11" Jonghmans' baton, was relieved by the us- sprinkling of comic and sentimental singing. S celebrities as Mr. Sam Collins, Mr. W. Rant Mr. 3, 0. Porde, in the former category, need ( be mentioned to excite a smile by proxy. Th( artist we have named gave fresh proof of abilii a " patter" vocalist. As a finale, the youths H and Pfau appeared on the flying trapeze, and ti daring little artists carried all before them. N tally speaking, they have " changed their tac up aloft. Many eccentric and astounding m ments in the air wore last night performed wl did not enter into the original scheme, and w1i..1 were greeted with much applause. ALHAMBRA PALACE. The proprietor of this establishment, being an' ous to enable the masses to witness the pm* antes of Leotard and the other attractions of Palace, yesterday gave a day performance, at a form charge of sixpence only for admission, an , will extend that arrangement to this day. The formances commenced with Auber's overture '1 Diavolo," followed by a grand operatic sele. from" La Sonnambula,"songs, duets, four-part at &c. miss Rebecca Isaacs sang a very pretty lad, " Forget thee," the words by Frederic 1 ranee, Esq., the music by W. H. Montgomery. usual entertainments were given—Leotard formed, Steve Ethair, Dupont (the Gorilla), D'Alberte, the rival of Blondin—each surprisei delighted an audience who were in the best pos humour. Leotard's engagement will soon term here, and hence the anxiety of a large pertic the people to witness his marvellous feats in 4 splendid building. CANTERBURY HALL. The Canterbury Hall and Fine Arts Ga 1101.3 crowded last night, Lambeth and the south-wt T4lndon being determinedly bent on making n y this Easter-tide. There was one special attra to draw people here, and that was the " Aliract ; Steckel," the performer on the flying trapeze, N first appearance at this ha]l we noticed a few since. His leaps are certainly of the most pc, character, but he accomplishes them greatest apparent ease. It would necessitat ,a details of a lecture on posturing to point out th - grecs in which this artist differs from his " cor poraries" in the art of navigation the air. ') e can be no doubt, however, that he has taken 1 .8 position in London as one of the most fearl A performers on the trapeze, whether we consic he extreme length of the leaps from trapeze M. ROBIN'S SOIREES FANTASTIQIJES. The great French wizard, M. Robin, last night freely exercised his spells over a large and willing audience at the Egyptian-hall. It is really quite refreshing to get back to our wizards, after the great uncertainty which has of late prevailed about " mediums" and magisterial interference with the fortune-tellers. M. Robin does not cheat, but asks you to detect his deceptions—and this is more than can be said of the professional spirit-rappers or the more vulgar gipsy. He neither sets np a manu factory for ghosts, nor barters husbands (dark, fair, orneutral-tinted) to unsuspecting housemaids at a shilling. We, therefore, welcome the entertainment of M. Robin as an agreeable relief from table-turn ing and the telling of fortunes, and the audience last night seemed to regard his many astounding feats of legerdemain from a similar point of view. NATIONAL GALLERY. The public availed themselves very freely of the general holiday to visit the extensive collection of paintings in this building under their new arrange ment. The visitors were chiefly of the working classes, who examined the pictures with evident satisfaction, and from time to time drew the atten tion of their companions to what especially attracted their notice, and their remark often evinced a fair degree of judgment. During the day there was a constant stream of visitors from the time the gallery was opened until it closed. BRITISH MUSEUM. There was a large attendance at this national institution, the numbers present during the day reaching to nearly 22,000. The great attraction was the gorilla, which, though not a new acquisi tion, was new to those who have a holiday only at Easter time. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM. The weather being so fine afforded an opportu nity to the holiday folks to visit this museum in great numbers. The model rooms, the statue gallery, and the gallery for animal and vegetable products, were numerously attended ; but that which was most densely crowded was the department for patents. In that place the throng was so great that there was scarcely any moving, and what must be very gratifying to the public was the fact that a large number of those present appeared to be engi neers and mechanics, who examined the models with great interest. The Great Exhibition being in such close proximity to the museum drew vast numbers to the locality, and during the day the whole neigh bourhood presented a most animated appearance, and even the road all along Knightsbridge was crowded with pedestrians going to or coming from the Exhibition. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARK. Owing to the fineness of the weather many thou sands promenaded in the park, and more than a general holiday gathering of highly-respectable persons visited the Zoological Gardens. To those who have been frequent visitors there is ever some. thing new to attract attention IA lid convey informa tion, but those who for the first time visited the gardens—and there were thousands on this occasion —voaaattY cue wonners that met their view with equal astonishment and pleasure. The charge yes terday for admission was 6d. only, and the same reduced price will be charged during the holidays this week. The gardens, in spite of the excessive wet and frosty nights we have had lately, never looked better than they do at the present moment. THE TEMPLE GARDENS. Thanks to the veteran gardener, Mr. Broom, and Mr. Dale, the citizens of London were not com pelled to go to Battersea-park or Clapham-common to view a few choice beds of early flowers; for owing to their perseverance, some fine beds of various spring flowering plants are at present in full bloom, and if the weather :should continue warm, in the course of a week or two a beautiful sight may be anticipated in the two gardens. The chrysanthe mum] and the pompones are now showing a fair head, sand look very hardy. VI - , AND BEQUESTS. The v 7 4- former Fi .1 seven codicils of Miss Eliza Miles, .
