SUGAR.—The delivery of Sugar from the West India Ducks was rather limited, not exceeding 2,000 casks, and as there were landed upwards of 44 Ude, the stock has been increased to 13,831 hhds. and 1,100 trs. Fine goods re main in a pretty good request, although but little has been done since Friday last, and this day there is not a single public sale of any description of Sugar announced. Of Mauritius Sugars the stock has been increased to 43,208 bags. The general stock of British plantation sugars is expected to he very large at the close of the import season, as the crop is a good one. TOBACCO.—The demand for Tobacco remains inactive, and until a further reduction in prices occurs, a revival is not looked for, the quotations in foreign markets being much lower than here. Since the late speculation on the expected increase of the duty on stemmed Tobacco, the market has been drooping, and prices may he quoted full ld. to lid. lower. The speculators are indisposed to submit to this loss, and hold in hopes of a better demand. the arrivals of late have been a cargo of about 500 Wads. of Virginia, and one of about 320 hhds. of Maryland. COTTON.—As this day's advices from most of the ma nufacturing districts represent rather an improved de mand for cotton manufactures, the market has an ap pearance of some firmness, but prices cannot be quoted in advance. There have been some pretty extensive orders completed lately for continental markets, and more are in the course of competition, Cotton goods being now so low here as to afford a fair prospect of profit by sale abroad. Since last week there has been no alteration in the va lue of COFFEES. Itum.-The market is again lower, sales of Leewards having been made at a further reduction of Id. per gallon. The stock is also increasing, and yesterday stood at 14,235 puns. and 1,325 hhds. The delivery last week was 895 puns., of which 553 were for exportation. BALTIC PRODUCE.-The demand for Tallow is much the same, but the delivery last week was very small, viz. 638 casks against 1,176 casks in the corresponding week of last year. The price of Tallow is 38s. per cwt. Imptco.-The East India Company's sale of Indigo terminated this morning. Up to to-day 3896 chests had passed the sale. The following are the averages of the sale :-Bengal fine purple 9s. 6d. to 9s. Bd. per lb. ; pur ple and violet Bs. 9d. to 9s. 6d. ; middling good violet 7s. to Bs. 3d. ; copper and violet, 6s. to '7s. ; consuming qualities, 59. to 6s. 6d. ; Madras good, 51. to ss. 9d. ; ordinary and middling, 2s. 2d. to 4s. 6d. ; Oude good, 4s. 6d. to ss. 61. ; ordinary and middling, 2s. to 4s. The whole of the Company's goods were taxed very low, as well as mostly all the licensed. Generally the sale went off at a reduction of 3d. to 6d., and for some broken and mixed lots, 9d. to Is. lower. About 400 chests were bought in.

GILES IN THE FIELDS, AND ST. GEORGE'S BLOOMSBURY. St. Giles's Church and its neighbourhood has from an early hour this morning been the scene of great bustle and agitation, owing to the election taking place of two Churchwardens. Hitherto the Vestry of this parish has been a Select Vestry, and which has of late occasioned great discord throughout the parish. Lord Tenterden, Lord Chief Justice Best, Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Justice Park, several Barristers, and others of great respec tability, are of the Select Vestry. _ _ Until the meeting to nominate the candidates took place, it was not expected that more than four would be brought forward ; and the excitement has been much heightened by the circumstance of two of those having been known to be in the Select Vestry interest, and the other two hostile to it : also from the circumstance of there not having been a:contested election of this sort in the parish for a great many years before. CHARLES LUCAS BIRCH, Esq., Churchwarden, took the Chair in the Vestry-room, at ten o'clock, to receive the nominations. The candidates brought for ward said to be favourable to the continuance of aSelect Vestry, were Richard Robinson, Esq. Great Queen street, by Mr. Bullock, and William Whitten, Esq. Little Queen street, by a gentleman whose name we could not hear; and those hostile to it were T. Wakely, Esq., Bedford-square, by Mr. Waring, and G. Rogers, Esq., High-street, by AIL Thatcher. These nominations were respectively seconded by other gen tlemen, and each candidate zealously supported by his friends, as being of the highest respectability, and best qualified to fill the office. The two latter gentlemen, were stated to be brought forward on public principles (Mr. Wakely having declared that he was most un willing to take the office, and that he had never entered the Vestry-room before this morning), and as decided advocates to reform. Mr. Thomas War ing and Mr. William Thatcher, the ardent sup porters of Messrs. Wakely and Rogers, were after wards put in nomination by the parishioners most un expectedly to all present, and which created consi derable merriment throughout the immensely crowded room. Mr. BURTON, an old overseer and champion of his colleagues, obtained a hearing to refute what he considered same infamous charges which had been brought against him and his associates. He ac knowledged that jobbing, peculation, robbery, and plunder, had been committed on the pa rishioners and public purse of the Vestry.—(Loud cheers.)--This he had on a former occasion declared; but then this conduct was to be attributed to those who had preceded the gentlemen who now filled the Vestry. More honourable or upright men he could not suppose could be selected to act in the Vestry than those who now composed it. The charge that Messrs. Robinson and Whitten were brought for= ward by the Select Vestry, was entirely without foundation. The overseers had been charged with expending a guinea or thirty shillings on a din ner; but the public ought to be aware that every farthing of this had come out of their own private pockets. Fines were imposed upon the overseers and members of the Vestry, for being be hind the period named in summonses at which they were to meet, and this was the fund which had been distributed in defraying the expenses of the country trips and dinners of the overseers.--(Laughter.) Mr. ROGERS said that no imputations had been cast upon the overseers, but that certainly the charge had been made against the Vestry of doing that which Mr. Burton had acknowledged they had been guilty of—namely, peculation, plunder, jobbery, and robbery. He (Mr. Ro gers), could not understand what Mr. Burton meant by the past and present members of the Se lect Vestry. He saw a gentleman standing at that moment before him, who had been no less than 35 years a member of the Vestry; and when he 'saw, even within the last two or three years, that the Churchwarden had been employed to audit and ap prove the accounts of the parish, including their own bills, and that to a very considerable amount, as by their cash book was evident,and which he was ready to support at any time in a Court of Justice, he considered he had a right to ask why the pre sent Select Vestry were to be regarded as exone rated at the expence of what they pleased to call their predecessors ?—(Great applause.)—There had been no less than two hundred pounds taken out of the poor rates of the parish, and paid into the hands of a lawyer, for the purpose of defending the title of the Select Vestry.—(Shame, shame.) Mr. BURTON stepped forward anti declared this was truth.—(Renewed cries of " Shame, shame," and great confusion.) In the midst of this uproar, the Chairman declared the Meeting adjourned to two o'clock, when the polling was to commence. Mr. WAKELY was loudly called for, and stepping forward, demanded to be heard.—(lmmense con fusion, and cries of adjourn, adjourn, from one sid e of the room, and of hear Mr. Wakely, hear Mr. Wakely from the other.) The CHAIRMAN with difficulty got his hat, and proceeded to leave the room. Mr. WAKELY declared that he could not give up his right to be heard. He had never in the whole course of his life seen a meeting conducted as this }Hid been. Not a single question had been put from the Chair to the meeting; no, not even the ques tion of adjournment. Surely the Chairman ought to have asked if any other gentleman wished to address the Meeting before he had declared it adjourned, and attempted by that act to drive out those in at tendanci,. just as if they had been a herd of swine. —(Roars of laughter, and cries of hear, hear.)—lt had been stated that the office of Overseer was a very important one; he should consider the duties of Churchwarden as very simple, for he sh ou ld consider them as confined to the owing open of the doors of the Vestry Room to the parishioners at large.—(Loud applause, and cries of that is all we want ; let us look at the accounts, and let us hear of no more 2001. being abstracted.) The Meeting then adjourned to two o'clock— (amidst much confusion), at which time an im mense number cried out, Mr. Wakely shall be heard in spite of the Chairman. SINGULAR FACT.—The British brig Aurora, on her passage from Liverpool to this port, picked up on the 3d of Feb., off Alontserratt, three negro men in a boat about 20 leagues from land. They appeared to be in a starv ing condition, but as they speak neither English, Spanish, nor French, they have not been able to make themselves understood. They appear to be named Weo, Ocon, and Afeko. 'They are in charge of the Collector of this pert. —Mobile Register, Maich 4. DESTRUCTION OF AN ANIERICANI'HEATRE. —We have received by the ship Exchange, Mobile Papers to the 4th instant inclusive. They confirm the fact of the destruction of the theatre by fire. There was no in surance on the property, and the loss falls principally on the Manager, Mr. LunLow, who was a principal stock. holder. He has also lost his extensive and valuable ward robe. Several of the performers also lost their wardrobes. —New York Advertiser, March 23. We are glad to learn that a subscription has been opened at Falmouth, for 36 widows and their 81 children, belonging to that port and vicinity, in conse quence of the loss of the Hearty, Redpole, and Arid, gun-brig packets. The officers and crews consisted of 102 persons, and there were also nineteen passengers, — viz. in the Hearty five, the Redpole eleven, and the Arid two, 'some of whom have, no doubt, also left widows and children to lament their loss.

As an instance of the traffic between Ireland and Glasgow, in the article of eggs, it may be mentioned that one of the Derry steam.v'esiels in a late trip brought over 15 tons, and on her next voyage upwards of 20 tons of eggs-270,000 ordinary sized hen eggs. IRON STEANI-BOAT.--Mr. NEILSON, of Glasgow, whose experience and skill in the construction of steam-vessels is well known, is now building one of iron. It is some years since a canal track-boat was made of this metal ; but, so far as we know, it has not been hitherto employed for steam-boats, though the advantage of having these of an incombustible material is extremely obvious. Mr. NEILSON'S iron vessel is of a pretty large size. The length of the keel is 90 feet ; the length on deck will be about 100 ; the breadth at midships 16 feet. Sbe is built on the same principle as a wooden vessel, but the shell is of plate iron, rivetted together as in boilers. It is expected she will be a fast sailer; but it is not de termined yet where she is to ply. It is easy to find excuse for ignorance, when it does not trench upon humanity—but my passions spring up whenever suffering is treated disdainfully, or even thoughtlessly. Mere beautiful than Spring flowers, is that sympathy which vibrates at the touch of sorrow ; but higher and holier far are the affections which ripen into virtuous exertion—which never witness grief without an attempt to gladden it, nor look upon joy without a more active senseof enjoyment—enjoyment growing out of the happiness of the others, and blending in strong influence with their own. The man of selfishness really makes a bad bargain, and sells his own commodity for much less than its value. flow much will his anti-social spirit ren der him ? Something to-day—to morrow nothing. But the kind, the generous affections—they. go on increasing more and more in their recompense—they sow seeds of silver,rwhich produces golden flowers, The bad plant the wind, and gather the whirlwind—the good call beauty out of ashes, light out of dsikness, immortality out of ruin.—Morning Paper. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. After the Tragedy of Venice Preserved,' in which Miss PHILLIPS—tiIe greatest compliment yet paid to her abilities—kept up the sympa thies of the audience, notwithstanding it was Easter Monday, and the first day of Greenwich Fair, throughout her performance of Belvidera—a new grand Melo-dramatic Fairy Tale, entitled, " Thierna na Oge ; or, the Prince of the Lakes," was brought out and received with an applause due to the lavish splendour of its scenery, and the novelty and bustle of its incident. The plot of this legend is something like the following Kate, the beauti ful daughter of Dame Kearney (Mrs. C. JONES), who lives in a cottage, on the banks of the Lake of Killarney, is courted by the young and profligate Lord Glencar (VINING), in the disguise of a pea sant. She is beloved also by an honest peasant, Dan O'Reilly (WEEKES), who has not courage to avow his passion to her, but nourishes it secretly. O'Donoghue, the enchanted Prince of the Lakes (BRDFOIID), knows, by his magical power, what is passing, and resolves to frustrate the designs of the deceiver, and bring Kate to the arms of her true ,lover. For this purpose he appears to O'Reilly, and warns him of an intended noc turnal meeting between Kate and Lord Glen car, to which the latter has invited her, to carry her off by force, with the assistance of a silly servant called Samson Sinister (HARLEY). O'Reilly, whose pockets are filled with fairy gold, is magi cally conveyed to the Dame's cottage, where, on displaying his wealth, the old woman backs his suit, and presses it on her daughter. Kate, however, is resolved to keep her appointment with her lover, though O'Reilly tells her he has been, by superior power, informed of the place where she is going, and of the danger she should incur. She persists in her resolution; and O'Reilly, finding himself unable to change it, leaves her a supply of cash to make her happy with the party to whom she is attached. The mother gladly attempts to seize the cash, which, ac cording to the rules in this case settled and established, vanishes instantly into" thin air." Kate goes to the moonlight meeting at Glenaa Bay, but O'Reilly first makes his appearance to prevent the success of his rival. He climbs into one of the trees, and takes his station where he can observe whatever may happen, and provides himself with a shillelah big enough to trounce any opposer. Samson Sinister comes next, and attempts to get into the same place, hut is thrown down and hurt by some stones, which O'Reilly lets falls on him as if by accident. Samson finally posts himself behind a bush ; and lastly, Lord Glencar and Kate come on together. He has made some proposal to her which excites her suspicion, and, in his agitation, he admits that he isnot the per son he pretends to be, and asserts that he only as sumed the disguise to ascertain whether she loved him for himself, or for his rank and riches. She asks when her wedding-day is to be, and he palters with the question. Her fears are roused, and on his attempting to lay hold of her, she threatens by her cries to call forth aid from the very trees about them. Samson rushes forth to assist his master; but at the same moment O'Reilly appears on the field with his shillelnh, and knocking down the servant, proceeds to rescue his sweetheart from the Lord. Kate escapes ; but Glencar fires at O'Reilly and wounds hina in the shoulder. Kate is pursued, but throws herself into the Lake. The fairies come round O'Reilly, and cure him presently of his wound, and O'Donoghue rises from the water and takes Kate under his protection in the Land of Youth, over which he reigns. The second acts finds Kate a's happy as she can be in this blissful region, w here she is treated with a Grand Masque and Festival of the Lords and Ladies of the Enchanted Court and of the Water Spirits. Meanwhile poor O'Reilly believes all he has seen is a, dream, until O'Donog hue appears to bim again, and filling his pockets a second time with gold, assures him that if he con tinues faithful in his affections Kate will be restored to him on May-day, and that she now loves only him. The Prince of the Lakes also gives the honest Irishman a box of fairy ointment, with which he is to anoint his eyes after sun-rise on May-day, but cautions him that if he uses it before sunrise, he will only be exposed to the visitation of the demons, who are allowed to play their pranks during the night. O'Reilly is afterwards, by the machinations of Lord Glencar, brought before him as a prisoner, on the charge of having murdered Kate, and ordered to be executed before midnight. His box of fairy ointment is taken from him ; and falling into the:possession ofSamson,who learns by a short con versation with another servant,Dennis(GATTlE),that there are fairy ointments, by rubbing which on the eyes, a man may see the gold and precious stones hidden in the earth, and be enabled to possess him self of them, he rubs his eyes with this ointment, and draws round him a legion of fire-spirits, or de mons, who torture him, and determine, by way of avenging the insult he has committed towards them, to work a magical change, by which he shall be put to the dungeon instead of O'Reilly, and so disguised in his form that every body shall take him to be O'Reilly. The charm succeeds, and O'Reilly escapes in the shape of Samson, and con trives, by recovering the box of fairy ointment, to witness the ascent of O'Donoghue and his Court, and is united with Kate, who loves him. Samson, of course; does not suffer the death to which he had corruptly endeavoured to devote O'Reilly.— The profligate Lord is disgraced, and the trite lovers are made happy. The scenery of this melo-drame is, as we before observed, :through out of a splendid character. The view espe cially of the subaqueous city and palace of O'Donoghue reflects the highest credit on the artist by the brilliancy of its conception and execution. The Hall of the Magic Ruby is another specimen of good scenery. With regard to the acting, Mr. WEEKES deserves praise for the very spirited and characteristic manner in which he went through the part of Dan O'Reilly. He is decidedly the best and most comic representative of low Irish life on the stage. Miss S. BOOTH, who has re-appeared on the London boards after an absence, we believe, of some years, gave great effect to the character of Kate, and was frequently much applauded. The dialogue is sprightly, in some instances it amounts to wit. Altogether it is far above .the usual level. The house, we need scarcely add, was crowded to suf focation. After the tragedy, the MM. MANctiE and DARAS exhibited, for the first time in this country, a great number of gymnastic feats. Some of their feats are of a very extraordinary nature. The most curious was, when the taller of the two fastened himself to a pole, fixed perpendicularly in the centre of the stage, by the feet, and then threw his body out nearly in a horizontal position, while his companion held fast by his hand, and while in that situation, the pole being made to revolve rapidly by a sort of windlass, the parties, thus united, were carried round with fearful velocity. This exploit produced a general demon stration of applause. COVENT-GARDEN. A new melo-dramatic and musical romance, en titled The Devil's Elixir, adapted from the strange rambling tale, half talent, half trash, of the same name, by HOFFMAN, was produced here last night. The idea is taken from the old belief in shadows, to the effect that a man without a shadow is under the dominion of sorcery. The plot is somewhat intri cate, and turns chiefly on the intrigues of Francesco, a Capuchin monk, (Mr. WARDE) to possess himself of the person of Aurelia (Miss HUGHES), who is the betrothed of his brother Ilerniogen (Mr. WOOD.) Francesco, unfortunately for himself, has the custody of the convent relics, among which is a flask, con taining the Devil's Elixir, which enables the person drinking it to assume the shape of his rival, and be damned in consequence. Francesco's hopeless pas sion induces him to drink this potion ; the • conse quence of which is, that he is at once en abled to assume the place of his brother. In this disguise he is about to be married to Aurelia, when Nicholas (KEELEY), the bell-ringer of the convent interferes, and -discovers the imposture, by proving that Francesco has no shadow. He is consequently borne off as a sor cerer, arid while confined in the belfry of the con vent is visited by the demon, Who offers him free dom arid Aurelia if he will ratify the compact. He consents, and the terms are, that if he shall, of his own free will, refuse the lady's hand, she being ready to marry him, before the clock strikes eight, the demon shall claim Francesco as lios own.— As soon as the Monk consents, the demon trans ports Hermogen and Nicholas sleeping to the bel fry, and Francesco t o t h e l a d y ' s cast l e. Every thing is once more ready for the impostor's mai , riage, and the bridal prozession is approaching the shrine of St. Anthony, when Herntogen7, who has escaped, again comes to interrupt the ce remony. He is now less successful, and as he is about to be carried to the stake for the purpose of being purified by fire from his supposed offence, he makes a passionate appeal to his brother Francesco. The better feelings of the latter triumph, —h e resigns his bride—the clock strikes eight, and the demon claims his prey. At this critical moment the victim recollects it is the Eve of Allhallows, at which time no unholy spirit can approach the shrine of St. An thony. Thither he flies for protection; the fiend attempts to follow him, but is struck into the earth by a bolt from Heaven. The whole building is di molished and disappears, and a clear tranquil land scape is seen in its place. While the wedding -party are wrapt in consternation, Francesco appears in his monastic habit, and accounts for his absence by saying lie has been on a pilgrimage. Hermogen and Aurclia are united, and Francesco retires to expiate his crimes and testify his gratitude by a life of penitence. The mechanical contrivances of this piece, as also the scenery, are of a high order of excellence. There is a perpetual recurrence of incident too throughout the drama, which gives it lightness and variety to a degree that we do not often witness. The music is by Mr. RODIVELL, and is pretty, with out being remarkable for spirit or originality. The house was crowded, and the performance from first to last received with great applause. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. Monsieur PELMET sustained last night the part of Harpagon, in MOLIERE'S well-known comedy of L' Avare, with a success equal to what might have been expected from an actor of his great eminence and versatility. The scene in which he gave vent to his despair, on discovering that he bad been robbed of his treasures, was marked by extraordi nary animation, and elicited the most rapturous al), plauses. Two new vaudevilles, each in one act, followed, under the titles of Caleb and La Prineessc de Tarrare. The first is founded professedly on some incidents in Sir W. SCOTT'S " Bride of Lam mermuir," but the leading features are cramped and distorted, so as scarcely to be recognized. Both, however, were amusing, and met with a favourable reception from the audience. COBURG. This theatre was last night crowded to excess, itt consequence of the announcement of the two new' Easter pieces, the Money Diggers, or the Devil's Ship, and Peter Bell Me Waggoner. Both were interesting, and full of incident, hut the best of the two was decidedly Peter Bell, in which Mr. DAVIDGE wrought a powerful effect on his audiences by the spirit, energy, and perfect nature of .his per formance. Amongst its other claims to a share of the popular patronage of these holiday times, this theatre has to boast the advantage of being splen didly re-embellished; and it certainly presents .a tout ensemble of elegance and taste for a minor esta blishment. A set of beautiful allegorical paintings, which do credit to the pencil of DAMSON, ornament the lower circle, heightened by ►medallions of fluted crimson velvet, and rich gold mouldings. The rest of the house presents the prevailing colour of warm French white, relieved with green, enriched with burnished gold. The ceiling is newly and elegantly painted, the boxes are newly papered, and every thing exhibits an air of neatness, novelty, and beauty. After the two new pieces, Undine was repeated, and received as before by the loud accla mations of the audience, a tribute which it deserves by its extraordinary splendour and interesi. A STLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The grand new Easter Spectacle at this most en tertaining little theatre was the Storming of Serin gapatam. It was very splendid, and the acting of the horses alone—who are really such promising and industrious performers—was quite sufficient to en sure it a favourable reception. The dresses were appropriate—the thirty-seven new scenes splendidly Oriental as the most fastidious Nabob could re quire, and the combats, and military and equestrian evolutions, well fitted to support the established re- , putation of the Theatre, in that peculiar department. The plot of the piece takes in the whole of the cir , cumstances which preceded the siege of the important fortress of Seringapatam, and which terminated in the death of Tippoo Saib, the capture of his sons, and the total destruction of those powers which were then leagued against the British East India Company. Itsgreatest merit is to be found in the clearness with which it leads us to the final catastrophe, for speak ing of it with reference to more complicated dramatic pieces, we might be justified in saying that it formed little better than an apology for the introduction of the characters and the display of the scenery and evolutions. The Duke of Wellington, who was engaged in the whole of this war, and who was left in command of the fortress after its capture, is ina troduced to us as Colonel Wellesley; but we are unable to proclaim the representative of his Grace as affording any promise of those high attainmcri:s which have since raised him to such distinction in the Cabinet and the field. Colonel Wellesley, how ever, like his companions -in arms, did that duty bravely and zealously which the author imposed upon them, and the curtain fell amidst the explosions of the ruined citadel and the applauses of the spec tators. We should not omit to mention among the catalogue of novelties at this Theatre, the achier ments of the little horse Butterfly, who springs through three hoops and over three horses at one jump, and shows himself what Domine Sampson would call a " prodigious" genius. SURREY. The new holiday melo-drame under the title of John Overy, Me Miaer of the Southwark Ferry, was produced last night for the first time at this theatre. It is an interesting piece, and supported as it is by the talents of Messrs. WYNNE, VALE, and WILLIAMS, and the vocal powers of Miss SOM.. ERVILLE, went off greatly, no doubt, to the satis faction of the Manager, certainly to that of the audience. Among the best scenes was that of the Southwark Ferry, in the eleventh century, which was very spirited and had a truly plea Sing effect. The second piece was a dramatic representation of the subject of HOGARTH'S Idle and Industrious Ap prentice:, and is replete with vulgarity and trash of the worst order. The evening's amusements were wound up by a pantomimic sketch, called Harlequin and Cupid, which deserves recommendation. Pit, box, and gallery, as a matter of course, were crowded. SADLER'S WELLS. This Theatre was crowded, as usual, last night, and the performances were worthy of the patronage they obtained. The first piece, a melo-drame of extraordinary and somewhat tiresome length, was entitled Rathkiel Sullivan, or, the Feuds of Load°. mond, and was followed by two clever farces, which kept up the gratification of the audience to a late hour. THE PAVILION. This Theatre opened last night with the play of Cymbeline, wonderously curtailed, and a new holiday entertainment, under the sounding appellation of the Brahmin's Curse. Both were sucees-H, the 1.,c esifecially, which was brought out with much dour of scenery and decoration.
