The negro, though he might come to the theatre in his private carriage, and have money enough in the bank to buy the theatre, could not get admission to boxes, or pit, nor even to the third tier, set apart for fallen women. His only place was the gallery, and in many cases he was railed off, even in this, from the lowest class of the white population. To-day, most of the American theatres have but two places and prices, and there is no admission whatever for the negro. I have never seen one in any fashionable place of amuse ment in the Northern States, except as a menial, or with a marked separation from the respectable, and sometimes even the disreputable portion of the audience,—Oneo a Wulf. , THE SUN,' LONDON, THEIRS o AY E VENING, APRIL 3, 1862.

The Tribuno of March 16 contains the following: —" We have received from Villa Spinola the fol lowing letter, addressed by General Garibaldi to the founders of the Italian Ladies' Philanthropic Association : 57 i 61 71 Macaulay's .History of England, Vol. 8. Edited by Lady Trevelyan. Longman and Co. The publication, in an octavo form, of this last product of Macaulay's labours, will be hailed as a boon by the myriad admirers of his genius ; and a s he is, perhaps, the only writer who has succeeded in making history popular as fiction, it is both liberal and politic to issue his work in such a form as to be generally accessible. His portri A it, at the a ge o f 49 , i s pref i xed; so i s a bi ography, by the Dean of S. Paul's. Popular Tales of the West Highlands, with a translation by J. F. Campbell. Edmonston and Douglas, Edinburgh. The industry and perseverance of Mr. Campbell in collecting these legends cannot be too highly praised, and it is only to be regretted that they are not more attractiv e t o th e general reader. By the antiquary they will, of course, be welcomed with delight, for their v a l ue i n an archieological sense is unquestionable : but th e y are b y no means so amusing as fairy legends, whilst the Icelandic Sagas far surpass them in artistic execution. Still this is no fault of Mr. Campbell's, be could but give what he found ; his translations bear evi dent marks of care and fidelity, and the materials he has brought together will be of th e utmost im portance to those who wish to form an estimate of the ancient Gaelic literature. The volumes now published are the third and fourth, co nc l ud i ng the work ; the former consisting of West Highland tales, whilst the latter is almost wholly devoted t o an examination into the authenticity of Ossian, and the bringing forward such tales and traditions as mention his heroes or throw light on their actions. "It is certain." says Mr. Campbell, " that the heroes have been Celtic worthies for centuries, and that their exploits have been celebrated in Gaelic verse ever since the ninth century, if not the seventh; but of the published Gaelic Ossian as an entire work there is not a trace before MacPherson's time." He then expresses his conviction that MacPherson's Ossian is a composite work, made up of various materials, mainly Scotch, but some portion belonging to Ireland, and concludes with a discussion of British traditions, Celtic dress, and Celtic art. The work contains a considerable number of illustrations, chiefly from Celtic monu ments, and it is clear that no pains have been spared to render it as complete as possible. The Cartarets ; or, Country Pleasures. ByE.A.R Hogg and Sons. This specimen of the series of juvenile books is one of the prettiest as well as pleasantest that the publishers have yet issued. The cover resembles a picture framed in mauve, nor is the expectation it excites disappointed by the contents: They narrate the events that occurred during the three months' residence in the country of a London family, and few rural sights or sounds escape comment, expla nation, or discussion. It is excellently adapted as a present for the young. A Comprehensive History of India. Nos. 61 to 56 , Blackie and Sons. These numbers conclude the work, which pro. fesses to treat of the aspects, Civil, Military, and Social, of the country, from the first landing of the English to the suppression of the Sepoy revolt. It is very nicely got up, is lavishly illustrated, and has an excellent index. The Crawfords. By Caroline Ricketts. Booth, Regent -street. Without pretending to any great degree either of complexity or profundity, Miss Ricketts has pro duced a very pleasantly-written tale, moderate in length, and by no means improbable in incident. It narrates the history of two families, each named Crawford, who reside near each other, and are dis tantly related, and the only son of the one and the only daughter of the other are the chief actors in it. They fall in love, and the former (a spoilt child) enters the army, becomes a roué and a gambler, is expelled his regiment, flies to the Continent, and when :in the last extremity of distress is rescued and reformed by a clergyman named Arthur Wrangham, who ultimately marries his sister. We shall not minutely detail the plot, but content ourselves with commending the story to the reader's notice. BOW STREET. A YORESIIIREMAN TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR.—Mary Ann Brown, a girl of the town, was charged with stealing a watch the property of George Bunker, a Yorkshireman. The prosecutor said—This morning, your worship, I met Ithe prisoner and another girl in George-street, St . Giles's, and after asking whether " I was good natured," I entered into conversation with them, when they asked me if I was going to stand something to drink. I didn't like to refuse, and me and the prisoner, and her friend all went to a public house and had some refreshment. They then, in a very free and easy manner, asked me to go home with them, which of course I did. (Laughter.) We all three got into bed; but, previous to my doing so, I thought the best wsy to take care of my watch was to put it under the pillow. (Laughter.) I suppose that they both saw me do so ; but at the time they made no remark. After we had been in bed a little while the prisoner got up, as she said she had forgot something, and in a short time she walked out of the room. (Laughter.) I felt for my watch and found it had been taken away. I woke up the other girl, and told her her friend had stolen my watch; when she said, "Well, lam sorry for that." (Laughter.) She .aid she would get up and go and look after her, which I thought was very kind, but instead of doing so she bolted too, and left me in the room alone. I went out and told the policeman how I had been served, and gave him a descrip tion of the woman who had taken the watch. He then took me to another house, where there was a rare lot of girls and men, and amongst them I picked out the prisoner. The Magistrate asked if he was sure she was the same woman ? Witness—Oh, yes ; I know it's the same woman, as she's got a mark over her eye, which I noticed before we went to bed, Police-sergeant Matthews said—From what the witness told me I went with h'm to 9. house in Charles-street, St. Giles's, and there, from amongst a number of others, he picked out the prisoner and charged her with robbing him .

(Laughter.) The Magistrate asked if anything had been found out about the watch or the other woman. The constable replied that he had not found the slightest race of either. The Magistrate said he would remand the prisoner, in order to afford the police time to look after her companion. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The very best Scots and crosses sold with difficulty at 4s 4d per Blbs. We were fairly supplied with sheep. Downs and half-breds supported previous rates, but long-woolled sheep were heavy, and 2d per 81bs lower. There was a slow inquiry for lambs, at from 6's 4d to 7s per 81bs. About 180 arrived from the Isle of Wight. Calves commanded rather more attention, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. Pigs and milch cows moved off heavily at about last week's prices.

MORE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND Loss OF LIFE. —About one o'clock yesterday morning, as a police con stable was passing near the George Tavern, in the Com mercial-road East, he observed a lurid glare of flame in a shop opposite. The moment he reached the premises the windows of the second floor were opened, and two young men who lodged in the house made an attempt to jump out. One of the unfortunate men, in so doing, had to climb over an iron grating, and his f ee t b ecoming en tangled it prevented his clearing the obstruction, and the consequence was that when he could liberate himself he fortunate, as fell on the pavement, his head striking th e stone flags with fearful dead. The other lodger w violence. he cleared the ironwork and dropped upon his feet, b u t h e was terribly as a ittle Ho morepicked was shaken, and one of his arms was broken. Such is the serious nature of the injuries he has received, that he is not expected to recover. Police-constable 372 K then no ticed the proprietor of the house and his wife at the first floor window, and fortunately succeeded in getting both out, the night-dress of the female being on fire. Ihe whole of the premises and their contents were destroyed. The j origin of the catastrophe is unknown. A fire also happened during the night on the premises belonging to Messrs. ildr rison and Co., hatters, No. 49, Penton-street, Pentonville hill. The outbreak commenced in the lower part of the shop window, and before sufficient time had elapsed to ex tinguish the flames in that part of the building it was dis covered that a second fire was raging in the other portion of the shop. The contents were insured in the Sun Fire office, and the building was supposed to be insured in the) AQrwich Union Fire -dace.

In the name of our country, I owe you a word of thank for your good work. Amongst the many benefits accomplished by it is the establishment of an institution at Torre del Greco, where the children of the poor are fed, clothed, and educated in the duties of citizens. Similar institutions you will estab lish in Palermo and elsewhere, wherever misery is most oppressive. May God bless you, women with the heart of angels, and bless the kind and excellent foreign ladies, ini- tiators and benefactors of this holy work. You have restored to Italy the old and sublime Christianity which egotism and imposture had trampled under foot. On the day in which the wealthy classes, regarding the poor as brothers, care for and help them, on that day shall a term be placed to the terrible revolution which convulses mankind, at intervals irregular, but certain and inevitable so long as the powerful persist in their blind obstinacy. May the committees of generous ladies, already existing, extend their beneficent association to the remotest villages of the Peninsula, where the need is greatest. I render grateful acknowledgments to the regenerators of a people who have claims to the sympathy of the whole human race. (Signed) G. GARIBALDI. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE PROPOSED BANQUET TO LORD CLYDE.— The Mayor of Brighton (says the Brtghton Guardian) having received the following reply to the invitation for warded to Lord Clyde, it has, we regret to learn, been determined to abandon the proposed banquet intended to have been given to Lord Clyde and his staff as an appro.. priate conclusion to the proceedings here on Easter Mon day :—" Albany, Piccadilly, London, March 26, 1862.-- Sir,—l beg to acknowlege the receipt of your letter, in viting me to a public banquet in the Pavilion at Brighton, on the occasion of the review to take place near to that town on Easter Monday. I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the honour you thus propose to confer upon me, and of the kindly feeling towards myself that prompts it; but since my return from India I have endeavoured to avoid all public dinners and meetings at which my presence was not indispensably required. I hope, therefore, you will kindly accept my apology, and allow me to decline the pro posed banquet. Again expressing ray sincere thanks for this intended honour, I remain, Sir, your faithful and obe dient servant, CLYDE.—The Hon. the Mayor of Brighton.' The Prussian Staff Corps has just published the "Campaign in Italy in 1859." In the preface of the work is a phrase worthy of remark :—" When nearly three years ago, war broke out in Italy, the officers of the armies which were not called on to take part in it, and particularly of that of Germany, followed with the most lively attention the events which were taking place beyond the Alps. What led them to it was the interest which we took in the fate of a federal state, to succour which policy opportune moment." was waitiag for the THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE complained that a return he moved for on the sth of August last, and to which no objection was offered, had not yet been made. It related to the courts of law in Ireland, and he had been informed that as the return had not ben made previous to the pro rogation of Parliament last year, it had been looked upon as a lapsed order. He wished the return should be made forthwith, and if it should be necessary he should move an address to the Crown to that effect. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Norwich Corporation, the Ross Turnpike Trust, and the Tranmere Improvement bills were read a second time. PROTECTION OF INVENTIONS AND DESIGNS 1862 BILL. This bill was read a second time. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN BILL. This bill passed through committee. MARINE MUTINY BILL. This bill also passed through committee. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES GOVERNMENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. IRON PLATED SHIPS. The Earl of HARDWICKE rose to ask the First Lord of the Admirely what number of iron plated ships were afloat and building, and o hat was intended to be done with the ships of the fleet that are built of timber. The earl commenced his remarks by referring to the late naval action that had taken place in America, in wl mist indisputably between wood and iron vessels had been most indisputably settled. He did not think there was any occasion for alarm, because he consid ere d th a t th e navy of England was in as good a position as any nation in the world. He thought the time had arrived at which there should be no more nibbling at the question on tne part f the Government, but that it should open its its jaws wide and swallow the whole at whatever cost, and fer the future that none but iron ships should be constructed for the purposes of warfare. The Americn ship had also settled the question as to the embarrassment occasioned on board a man-of-war's masts, yards, and sails. As far as regards cruising ships, they, of course, could still be constructed of wood, adopting, of course, all the modern improvements; but, as for men-of-war, they must be made of iron. The navy was very different from the ships of the merchant service, where everything was sacrificed for speed and stowage room, but that was not in a man-of-war where strength was everything. A question would naturally arise as to what was to be done with the stock of ships now on hand; that would have to be settled, but the thing that appeared to him certain was that the time had now come for the cessation of constructing ships of wood for purposes of warfare. It was to give the noble lord an opportunity of stating the opinion of the Government on the subject that he laid the motion under the attention of their lordships. [LEFT SITTING.] 'Paid.

The house was rather full, but not so crowded as is usua l on Budget nights, and contrasted strongly with the appear • ance which it presented last session on the night when the Chancellor of the Exchequer made his Financial Statement. PRIVATE BUSINESS, The following bills were read a third time and passed —The Cirencester District Roads, and the Dollow and Kul more Commons Inclosure. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of an amend ment of the Irish Poor Law, for the reduction of the hop duty, against the modified Revised Code, against the un conditional abolition of church rates, against the Local As sessment Bill, &c. GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION. The following members, nominated to serve on the elec tion committee appointed to try the petition against the return of Mr. Chapman, were summoned to the table, and the committee obtained leave to sit to-morrow at twelve o'clock :—Mr. Egerton %chairman), Mr. G. G. Glynn, Sir A. W. Buller, Mr. Liddell, and Mr. Long-field. HOPS. On the motion of Mr. LOCKE, returns of the quantity of British hops exported from the United Kingdom were ordered. MEXICO. Mr. S. FITZGERALD gave notice that he would draw attention to our relations with Mexico after Easter. MONUMENT TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Lord LOVAINE asked the First Commissioner of Works how soon it was expected that the monument of the late Duke of Wellington, in St. Paul's Cathedral, would be finished, and whether the surplus of the sum voted for the duke's funeral would be sufficient to defray the whole cost of the work. Mr. COWP ER said that an order had been given for the making of the model three years and a half ago, and he supposed the artist was preparing himself for his work by preliminary study. (Laughter.) UPPER STEPHEN-STREET, DUBLIN. Sir E. GROGAN asked the Secretary of State for War why the ground, at the corner of Great Ship -street and Upper Stephen-street, in the city of Dublin, which the War•office purchased several years ago, is per mitted to remain for so long a time in its present ruinous and dilapidated state; if it be still in contemplation of the War-office to build an addition to the Ship-street Barracks on that ground ; and, if so, when the works will be com menced. ADJOURNMENT FOR THE EASTER RECESS. In reply to Colonel PATTEN, Lord PALMERSTON said that it was proposed to ad bourn on Friday, the 11th, or Monday, the 14th, accord mg to the state of business, and to re-assemble on Monday the 28th. THE BUDGET. The house having gone into committee of ways and means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to make his financial statement, and was warmly cheered. He said that his duty en the present occasion would be more simple than was usual an such occasions. After some preliminary observations, ha said that the annual expenditure for last year was estimated at £69,875,000, but at the time he stated that that sum would be probably be exceeded, and it was exceeded by between £200,000 and £300,000, or accurately, £278,000. There had also been supplemental grants amounting to £973,000 for troops to Canada, and soma expense incurred in respect to China. This made apparently a total expenditure of £71,374,000, and an actual expenditure of £70,838,000, which was £536,000 more than the estimated expenditure. The ex- penditure for the financial year just ended was £70,838,000, and the returns amounted to £69,674,000, which left a deficit of £1,164,000. The supplemental charges were £1,149,000, and, deducting the deficit, it followed that the financial arrangement which had been made, deducting the deficit, there was a surplus of income over expenditure of £335,000. (Hear, hear.) This had been effected, notwithstanding that the Government had surrendered important sources of income, namely, £850,0,0 by the re duction of one penny on the income tax, £665,000 for six months duty on paper, and the loss of the malt credit, which realised the previous year £1,122,000. There was an excess of £609,000 expenditure over revenue, but it would be seen by an analysis of the sources of revenue and expenditure that there was no ground for discouragement. (Hear, hear.) They must bear in mind that they had to contend with he disturbance which had broken out in the United States of America, which not only diminished our imports but affected our trade. With respect to the revenue, the re ceipts for the past year amounted to £23,305,777, which showed an increase, as compared with the preceding year, of £1,103,000, and it must be borne in mind that thie source of revenue was the one which was best calcu- lated to teat the prosperity of the country. (Hear.) The receipts of the Excise amounted to £19,435,000, which showed that there was a decrease this year of £1,103,000, which was attributable to the reductions which had been introduced in the financial arrangements last year. having referred to the expenses that had been incurred with regard to China indemnity during the test year, he said there had been of that indemnity one half of the substantiated claims of the merchants paid, which amounted to a sum that reduced the fund received by Government £193,000 to £1,433,000. That amount re- presented only the two former quarters, and no credit was taken for the last two quarters. The estimates for the army last year was £15,481,000, while for the present year they amounted to £15,270,000 showing a considerable decrease, amounting to £20,000. The estimate for the expenses for the navy was £11,800,1 00, while for last year it was £12,276,000. Having gone through the different sums of revenue and expenditure for the current year, he said the former had been estimated at £70,190,000, while the expenditure was estimated at £70,040,000, leav ing a balance in favour.of income. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman then adverted to the losses which the country sustained in consequence of the disturbances in America. He next called attention to the treaty with France. Though that treaty had not been carried fully into operation, there f had been an increase in the account of the export o English goods to that'country during the last year of no less than £3,895,000. (Loud cheers.) He contended that theyaountries must infer from this that the commerce of the twot Mr. Pitt would be what nature intended it to be, endeavoured to make it, and in its conditahinon prejudice, thewas widely dif ferent as possible from that to wh f ic hissuccessors the obstinacy, and the f011y ... ° res .) He cited figures endeavoured to reduce it. (Grea h t a ree increased with other to show that our export trade f t h e treaty, and that it had countries since the adoption colon i es . With regard to the nica ns also improved with the colonthie to ask the house forosedpublic service :for the of meeting the expenses ofp any pre sent year, it was not P"- hear)—but the Government additicnal vote—(he ar s n duty tradeuti i it n respect to trade o r from o th er causes. that might arise any emergency that cotto i ise in , would reserve to themselves the right of meet ingonsequence The only remiss ion which was intended was o f a t r ifli ng a nd include of the depression in character, thel the y marks and the inventory duty in Scotland, which was e quivalent to the probate duty in this country. to charge was proposedarge 8 Itper cent. on foreign loans raised in this country, which was merely a corolhiry to the prac tice which had been sanctioned of charges to the same per cent, on foreign bills of ex change. Supplement al licenses were to be granted to publicans to enable them to sell refreshments at fairs and other places resorted to by the public, which would have the effect of bringing them more under the control of the I police. (Hear.) With reg a rd t o th e f a lli ng o ff i n th e d uty derivable from spirits he attributed it partly to the increased " . habits of sobriety of the pe o pl e o f th e U n it e d Ki ng d om. I(Hear, hear.) H e did not consider that there should be any alteration in this department of the Excise. The malsters demanded that they should have six weeks' more credit fur the payment of the duty than they at present possessed, but considering their position he did not think they had any ground for complaint. With respect to the abolition of the malt duty, which amounted to £1,300,000, he could hold out no hope even of its reducton. As retarded sugar he thought that before any alteration in the duty on that important article Was made, there should be a strict and protracted deliberation and the interests of all those involved in its growth should be consulted. The penny paid on imports, no doubt, was felt to be a hardship. f LEFT SPEAKING.] BAN," OF ENGLAND.

The steamer Mare, bound to Bristol from Water ford, was totally lost last night on Crow Rocks, about three miles from the Haven, during a heavy gale and thick fog. Six men have arrived here from the wreck, and report about 50 lives lost, and 300 cattle perished. A later telegram says the exact number of lives. Lost is uncertain. COUNT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR CASTLE, Apr 2. Friday next is the day now fixed upon for her Majesty's departure from the Castle for Osborne, unless information should be received by telegraph of the sea being unfavour ably rough for crossing, when the Royal journey will be further postponed. The youthful Prince Leopold, who has been staying at Cannes for the benefit of his health, is expected to arrive at Osborne, to meet her Majesty on her arrival there. Her Majesty will remain at Osborne until the 28th of the present month, on which day she will take her departure for Scotland. After a month's sojourn at her northern residence, her Majesty will return to Windsor Cas , le for a few days, and then go to Osborne, where she will remain until after the wedding of her Royal Highness Princess Alice, which will take place in Juno, at Osborne House, in as private a manner as possible. About tho middle of August the Queen will again visit Scotland, and, after a month's residence there, return to Osborne. The Queen will afterwards visit Germany, the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, brother to his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort, having offered to give up hi, present residence for her Majesty's accommodation, wEch kind offer her Majesty will avail herself of. As it is her Majesty's intention to pass the year in a comparatively private manner, it is not expected that she will pay the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia a visit on this occasion, but that their Royal Highnesses will visit the Queen at Coburg.
