''3,1114, LONDON: TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1841. The Irish seem to be putting their political barque on a new and a right tack. We have copied from the Southern Reporter an article on Landlord and Tenant, expressly written in aid of Mr. O'CoNNELL's great speech on the same subject, a copious extract from which appeared in our Paper of Saturday. Though we differ very much from Mr. O'CONNELL on the question of absenteeism, and think that where the land lord spends his rent is of little importance com pared to the amount he is able to exact, we have little doubt that one of the main sources of the evils of Ireland is the mode in which the soil is appropriated, and the peculiarity of the relation which has, in consequence, grown up be tween landlord and tenant. So ill do we think of the present 7T.ce of mere landowners, whose residence in the country, where they amuse themselves with di , i'.cnsing law after, their own. fashion, ,and keeping and killing game for their own sport and nants' great annoyance, that we regard th sence as a far greater blessing than their Tally. W e are 4uite sure, to refer to Ireland-;; , 7 an example, that the Marquis of HERT.Foan,,'.io is said never to have set foot in Ireland in his life, where he is a great landowner, is a far leSs mischievous person than such resident Earls as those of GLENGALL, CHARLEVILLE, and RODEN, whose presence is the nutriment of faction and strife. Wealth may be employed to fo ment divisions, to seduce honesty, to pervert the registers, to bribe and coerce electors, as well as to heal disorders and give encourage ment to virtue. In Ireland, the Orange resident landlords, exercising the offices of the Magis tracy, were long a great curse to that country, and an approximation was first made to order, and to substituting law for violence, w h en Stipendiary Magistrates and a Stipendiary Police superseded the authority of th e landlords and their armed retainers. But the bulk of the . landlords are Protestants and Orangemen ; the soil is said to be exclusively Protestant, and a body of resident Protestant landlords would be, with all deference to Mr. O'CONNELL, a sore plague to Ireland. The pre sence of the landlords then, without a change of the tenure, would be of no advantage, and it is to the-latter, disguised, however, under phrase ology less calculated to excite alarm, rather than to the former, that the Hon. and Learned 'Gentleman and his friends now look. lie spoke, for example, of there being about 10,000. landed proprietors in Ireland, " where as," he said, " if there were 'the same proportion as in Holland, there would be 1,137,000." He wants, therefore, not that the present landlords should reside, but that 1,137,000 frugal, independent farmers, such as *Own and cultivate Holland, should supply their pl ace . He wants, therefore, a chancre in the tenure of land, he - wants to substitute c' the cultivators for the present landowners, and we are bound to say, fiG far as the happiness of his country is Concerned, that we think Mr. O'CoNNELL is not far wrong. He should, however, speak out, in Order that his meaning may be known and weighed in Et - land, and the' public here be enabled to judge whether or not they will support him. The appropriation of the soil in other parts of Europe may be lost in the night of time, and a long day of prescription may have given the pre sent pOssesSors as good as an original title ; but the appropriation of the soil of Ireland comes within the compass of modern history, and. w, ! know, as well as we know the geographical position of the country, that it was founded in conquest and usurpation. The first conquest by England in the reign of HENRY 11. took ph c long enough ago to have blended the co. - querors and the conquered into one friend.y feople, but subsequent and successive confisca- . 4 4 \ . s " L 4 -4 • , 84* 4; 4 , • •"- - . - k `' • m 0 W A ' its, . - tions have given to the soil new masters. The conquests and new partitions of the country in the reigns of ELIZABETH and JAMES 1., under CROM WELL and WILLIAM 111., went so far as to oust, we believe, nearly all the previous possessors, and has made historians say that the whole soil of Ireland was confiscated three times over. These latter confiscations, too, were all made from a religious as well as a political motive ; they were to convert the Irish, first into English, afterwards into Protestants. The result is, the soil has become Protestant and English, but the bulk of the population remain Catholic and Irish. Hence, for the last century and a half, while all the rest of the empire has been gradually amal gamating into one homogeneous mass, and differ ences of race and of religion are passing into oblivion, or attract no attention, a feud has been kept alive in Ireland, and is growing and ex tends to this day, and is now breaking forth in the cry for Repeal. As long, undoubtedly, as the present appropriation of the soil of Ireland is continued that feud will continue, which makes us say that the Irish, in now turning their atten tion to the relation between landlord and tenant, have got on a new and a right tack. Whether they will have political sagacity enough to carry their barque into the haven to which its prow points, we must leave time to show. It is well and truly said by the Southern Re porter, speaking of those who wrested the land by force from the original landowners : The Irish are inured to suffering and oppression. They would tolerate the monopoly and extortion of their roan. tars—but then their masters have been for the last hundred years the law-makers I Statute after statute has been en acted, conferring new and formi:lable pow. r , , and these powers have never been anon el to he inactive. A deadly nystem of exterrninalion has been adopted and worked out on cold calculation, so the., with a soil capable of main tairisg its present population. thtl'e are many hun dreds cf thousands who cannot obtain, at any rent, bow.. ever extravagant, permission to live otherwise than on the roads or in a workhouse. There we see evidence that the wrongdoers have always laboured to keep alive the memory of their oppression. Should the landowners com plain, as perhaps they may, that the length of time they have held their land has now given them a prescriptive right, and that there would be no end to disturbance should such a possession not confer a safe title, they are answered by the assertion that, as law-makers, they have passed statute after statute confuting new and formidable powers, and so always keeping the people in mind of the original wrong, and of their perpetual slavery. In fact, these successive statutes were successive encroachments and usurpations, like the first, though not so outrageous, each of whichprevented that return into the right path, by which nature, if not thwarted, sinks the minds of nations, in time, into forgetfulness of injustice, and converts a fierce usurpation into a beneficial holding. It is not in Ireland alone that landlords, who have been law-makers, by passing statute after statute, conferring new and extraordinary powers or wealth on themselves, have kept con tinually encroaching on and continually usurp ing the right of others, so as continually to force back the public mind to the question of their original right. They have, unfortunately for themselves, done the same in England. Not contented with occupying the highest station in society—not contented with being far more abun dantly provided with all the good things of life without labouring, than the utmost exertions of industry could command—not contented with the great honour and political superiority which were secured to them, they have sillily, meanly, and basely made statute after statute to curtail the li-. berties, or appropriate the wealth, of the people; the consequences are, they are forfeiting the public respect, bringing all their rights into question, and making men turn their attention in England, as in Ireland, to the peculiar appro priation of the soil as a source of many political evils. We wish it were otherwise; but the ex treme and obstinate folly and injustice of the landowners are forcing on the public the ominous question, by what right do they hold their pos sessions and their power ? When we yesterday made a rough comparison between astronomy and morality to vindicate the unfitness of those who are educated exclusively to honour antiquity, to preside over the moral education of the community, we understated our case. Whatever might have been the knowledge of astronomy at any particular period, there can be, and is, no question,—since celestial phenomena, like eclipses, recorded in early Greece, have been verified by modern calculation—that the physi cal system of the universe has been the same since the beginning of history. Though men may have held very different opinions at different times, there is no doubt whatever that the earth has always revolved round the sun and round its own axis, as our NEWTON demonstrated, and we believe it now revolves. But though the physical laws which have regulated and deter mined the multiplication of our species —expressed shortly as the relation between population and subsistence, like the laws of gravity—have always been the same, there seems to be some reason to doubt whether the moral laws or moral relations have remained unaltered. As the progress of population has gone on, and as mankind have multiplied, new moral relations between them individually, and between them and the physical world, have come into existence. For example, when population was scanty, a fitmily might wander whither it would, and trespassed on no rights in pitching its tents where it pleased, and in felling the timber which grew around. But when many families came to require the same conveniences, and when a rude appropriation of coming to a spot ensued, the first corner acquired a right to the , soil, and it became wrong in other men to inter fere with that which, before his appropriation, was as freely given for their use as his. Carrying our thoughts from that first great change over to the present crowded condition of Europe, and of our country in particular, where not merely every foot of soil, but everything the earth bears, has an owner, we must see that, with every successive change between these two ex tremes, new relations between man and man, and between man and the soil, have come into existence. At present, as one consequence of the great multiplication of the species, a minute division of labour, both territorial and individual, prevails, of which the consequence is, that the produce of labour, whether agricultural or manufacturing, belongs in right and in fact to several different persons, who assist in its pro duction. •It has to be divided at least into r p o ri fit, ee a o n f d a rent.piec piece So o ffa finer iis this muslinn owh N that e t s ee shared, in ord er to reward the many pers ca o a n sr s tro N i v e l d t b o e, assist in producing it, amongst a greater . number than we can tell, including the Glasgow weaver at one end of the long chain, and at the other, the cotton-grower of Alabama, with all the inter mediate assistants of sailors, merchants, carriers, shipowners, &c. &c. We know that this elabo rate division and appropriation is easily and uni versally made by the " huxtering of the mar kets;" but surely the several. relations in which these various workmen stand to each other, and to the web of cloth, are moral relations which had no existence in the early ages. We might extend the deduction, and the great use now made of paper money would be rich in illustrations ; but we only wish to indicate a principle, and show that while the laws which regulate the solar system have been since the beginning of human knowledge, the moral relations of mankind have undergone great alterations consequent on that which may be called a new Physical flict, the filling of the surface of the earth with human beings. Now, it must be plain to the meanest capacity that the knowiedfre which is necessary to our earthly happiness is a knowledge of these new relations ' and a:1 their consequences, not a knowledge of the different relations and their Consequences which prevailed in antiquity. The natural laws, for example, which regulate wages and profit, grow out of them, and we need not re mind our readers that a knowledge of these laws is now of essential importance to the peace of society. The State, we have already said, aspires (Illy to provide for the earthly happiness of the people —it has no power nor means to promote their salvation ; and the State conse quently commits a fatal error when it confides the control of education to men who disregard these new relations, and the important laws which grow from them, and study only the relations of a past age. We are almost afraid to offer such considera tions to our readers; but the great exertions the priesthood are now making to curb the growing intellect of mankind, and the humiliating defe rencewhichispaid to their unfounded andarrogant claims, by our most conspicuous statesmen of both parties, make us regard it as a duty to state some pf the circumstances which ought, in our opinion, to weigh with statesmen in removing the educa tion of the people entirely from the interference and control of the priesthood. Letters and Papers from India, with news from China, still continue to reach us. The conduct of Plenipotentiary ELLIOT has excited the deepest indignation not only among the British merchants at Mv.cao, but throughout the whole of British India. In another part of The Sun, under the head "Chinese News," will be found a letter from Bombay, dated the Ist of March, which well expresses the mortification and dis gust with which British merchants and British subjects of every class in the East, have learned the conditions of the convention which the luck less Plenipotentiary is negotiating with the Go vernment of the Celestial Empire. The same Journal publishes a remonstrance, " issued by a commercial firm of very high standing at Can ton," which embodying, as it does, most of our objections to the convention, we subjoin, para graph by paragraph, for the more correct infor mation of our readers. The remonstrance com mences as follows : As residents in Chin a , we canno t b u t exp ress our extreme and Unqualified disapprobation of the basis of our commercial treaty as now promulgated to us. lu the first place, there seems to be no expression on the part of China, as shown either by the recent edicts of its su. perior officers cr ny the Plenipotentiary's circular, of the re gret which the Chinese Government ought to make knavrn, for acts of aggression which have followed one another in speedy succession for the last. two years in particular. Neither does there seem to be the " slightest security for the future." In fact, in this point, our position, as compared with our inter course prior to our leaving Canton, has retrograded. _ _ We stated in The Sun of Saturday, that so far from expressing regret, the Chinese Plenipoten tiary KESHEN had, four days after signing the Convention, caused an edict to be circulated,.in which he represented the English as "rebel bar barians," who had submitted to the laws of the empire, and, through him, implored the par don of the " Son of Heaven." Thus, in the very hour of victory, the Chinese heaped fresh in sults upon the insult-devoted head of Captain ELttoT. While he was crowing like a chanti cleer over his vast exploits in the Canton River, and, in the exuberance of his joy, lauding the good faith and amicable inten tions of the petticoated KESIIEN, that cun ning diplomatist was stigmatizing him to his countrymen as the leader of a horde of piratical barbarians, whom a single word reduced to obedience. This very fact speaks volumes re specting the "security for the future." If an Imperial Mandarin could calculate so accurately upon his ability to humbug and calumniate Cap tain ELLIOT and his countrymen, while a British squadron was at anchor in the Chinese waters, what treatment may not our merchants expect when that squadron shall have sailed for Eng land? We now come to the next paragraph in the remonstrance : Secondly. The strange and anomalous circumstance of a port professedly and entirely British paying duties to another coun try from whom it has been wrested. Or, at all events, if any duties had been conceded, the principle of such ought to have been distinctly understood, in limine—more particularly with such a Government as the Chinese. For we cannot shut our eyes to the former practice of the Chinese Government of pay ing bankrupt Hong debts by the means of additional duties le vied on our commerce ; these additional duties being continued after the purposes for which they had been laid on mere iatis fied, and we are justified in supposing that the indemnity will be raised in a similar manner. Exactly—this objection to the Convention was made in The Sun of Friday, and in much stronger language than is here employed. What is said about the practice of the Chinese Government, which pays the debts of the Hong merchants by an increase of duties upon British shipping, has again and again been brought under the notice of the readers of this Journal. But, perhaps, the important question of the duties is among those trifling details which Plenipotentiary ELLIOT announces as remaining for negotiation. In his new character of Plenipotentiary, it was not to be expected that Superintendent ELLIOT could be expected to bear in mind all the ped dling details of Custom-House regulations, port dues, and export and import duties. To count buttons with KESHEN, and, above all, to rival him in the art of official ceremonial, was, of course, more an object of ELLIOT ambition than the display of a vulgar acquaintance with a traffic in tea, rhubarb, silk, and camlets. But, to pro ceed : Thirdly. The exceedingly small amount of the indemnity which has teen fixed. lts prolonged payment we do not s~ much wonder at, knowing the poverty of the Chinese Go vernment to meet a claim for property to an immense amount wantonly sacrificed, and the expenses of a foreign armament to obtain redress for such spoliation. Besides, the amount of in demnity will not cover the cost of the opium alone, keep ing out of view the large sum of interest on it sacrificed, and the equitable claims of British subjects for severe losses suf fered through the proceedings of the Chinese Government. The expenses of the expedition must, therefore, fall upon England, for it is not enough to say that we have gained a British posses sion in China at the sacrifice of that cost. We had military possession of not only the island of Chusan, apparently viewed by the Chinese Government of great importance, but we had possession of a great part of the Bocce Tigris (the remaining forts being of easy acquisition), and thus command ing the navigation of one of the most important rivers in China, and in which the foreign intercourse of the empire centred. Either of those possessions might have been given to Hong Kong; although an excellent harbour, yet a setae ment which has to he entirely formed, and the commerce of Canton diverted to it. Altogether it is a droll business. We give up a part of our claim for the illegally confiscated opium—we give up altogether theexpense of the expedition, amounting to about a million and a half sterling—we give up the fine island of Chusan, purchased by our blood—and we give up all we have taken of the Bocca Tigris for a miserable island ten miles long by five broad, noted only for its production of mud banks, and its being an hundred miles more out of the way than Whampoa! Here is a commercial bargain for you ! If we look only at the surface of it, the conjuror's exchange of an hundred new lamps for ALADDIN'S old one was niggardliness itself when compared with the extravagant libe rality of Plenipotentiary ELtroT. But no Ge nius, the dispenser of hidden treasures, attends the possessor of Hong Kong. It is what it ap pears, and nothing more—that is to say, not one-twentieth part so valuable, either as a `fortress or a commercial station, as Chusan. But the Globe and the Chro nicle tell us, the one with a gravity, the other with a flippancy worthy of each other, that the expedition was not sent to make conquests in China. What then, in the name of common sense, was it sent to do ? If the object of the expedition was not to obtain redress fbr griev ances, and failing all other means, by con quest, what, we ask, was its object, or had it any object at all ? Was it to proceed on a fool's errand, and return with his finger in his mouth, that a British Admiral was sent to China at the head of a fleet, to fit out which swallowed a million and a half of Eng . glish taxes ? The remonstrance continues : We will not to-day pursue the subject further, but opportunities will not be wanting of returning to it. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all reached us. The Commerce states that one of the cashiers of a Paris bank has run off, carrying with him a million of francs. The bank, in consequence, has stopped payment. There is no political news in these papers :-- A private letter from Arzew, in Africa, dated 25th of March, contains the following details:—" All the Emir's Cavalry which had appeared near the Cheliff, and had merely threat ened by a demonstration the garrison of Mostajanem as it passed near that town, has just received orders to proceed to reverse of the chain of the Little Atlas from Kalah to Mascara, which country it is exclusively instructed to protect. Ben Nonna, the Khalifa of Tlemecen, ►s aloin ordered to protect the tribes of the West, and command only some thousand ill mounted cavalry, who areby no means disposed to run the risk of a general action. 'l•he two Khalifs, Ben Hameide ant Mustapha Ben Thaney, joined on the 23d of the month on the Hubrah, and concerted the plans of defence prescribed by the Emir. It was in this movement of the two corps that the light hi;rie of Ben-Thany attempted to lay an ambush for General Lamoriciere, in which they received a check from that General, and had many wounded, who were conveyed to Mascara. Abd-el-Kader, who h - as made a treaty with Tedgeni, and has in some degree imposed his sovereign authority on him, has just demanded of him a contingent of 500 Mirjahs, armed and equipped ; but the :Marabout of Ain-Mandi has eluded the demand ; Abd-el Kader is enraged at this circumstance. The Duke of Nemours is expected in our province, and it is said that General Boyer, his aide-de-camp, will have the chief command of the brigade of cavalry. We are quite ready to take the field at the first order, which the troops took for with impatience. The health of the men is as good•as possible. The heat is great; the crops of corn are very line.—Le Commerce. BO URSE.PARIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 10. --- first Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

CURIOUS CUSTOM ON EASTER MONDAY._ An inhabitant of Hailator, Leicestershire, same ye ars since bequeathed a piece of land to the Rector of the town for the time being, in trust for the providing of two hare pies, a quantity of ale, and two dozen penny loaves, to b e scrambled for annually on Easter Monday. This land, which was called Hare-crop Leys, being enclosed in 1770, a piece of laud was allotted to the Rector, in lieu of toe same, since which period the Ractor, instead of the two hare pies, provides two large Lies made of veal and tatcon, which are d.vided into parts, and put into a sack About two gallons of ale, in wooden bottles, without handles or string=, are put into auother sack, and the penny loaves, cut into quarters, arc put into a basket.- The men who have charge of the bequest are joined, soon after they leave the Rectory, by those who intend to engage in the sport. In the course s f their journey to a place called Hare-pie Bank, which is situated about a quarter of a mile south of the town, the pieces of bread are occasionally thrown to be scrambled for. The place of rendezvous consists of a ha'ik, with a small trench round it, and a I culir hole in the centre, into which the pies and ale are promiscuously throsam Upon a signal beitig given, those who are loud of the sport rush forward to seize a bit of pie, or endeavaur ta get possession of a bottle.

PE rERSBURSH p 51ARCII27.—His Majesty the Em pcnr has been pleased to allow the importation of pease free of duty, during the continuance of the navigation iu 1841, in the same manner as several kinds of corn. _ . VIENNA, MARCH 31.—The young bride of the English Ambassador has been in state to Court. A numerous crowd of spectators had collected in the streets through which she had to pass, and at the BeMarie, where she alighted. The beauty of Lady Beauval was much ad mired, as well as the splendid equipages and the rich liveries, in the old English style. According to the eti quette of this city, Lady Beauval will receive company fur three successive days, tomorrow being the fiat. BERLIN, APRIL 3.—The King of Wirternberg has ap plied for Russian engineers to direct the works for fortifying Ulm. Major Von Piitteitz. who built Posen, is to superintend the erection of that South German for tress. The fortifications of Rastadt will be directed by an American engineer. It is said that the works of Mainz will b? extended. BERLIN, APRIL s.—We expect many illustrious visit-irs at the reviews in the spring. After Easter the Grand Duke and Duchess cf Saxe Weimar will arrive here. The Crown Prince of Bavaria is also expected at our Court. The second son of the Grand Duke of Mecklen burg Strelitz will enter the Prussian service, in one of the regiments here after Easter. The Crown Prince of Wir tcmberg will visit our University in the next half year, and attend the lectures of several of the professors. BERLIN, MARCH 27.—The Council of State is engaged on the new petal code, which is to to completed by the end of the year. At preterit the new enactments fur the prevention of duelling are under discussion. The penalti_s are much less severe than hitherto ; duelling ben g treated as murder, and threatened with the same penalties, but the punishment was never inflicted, so that the of fenders might be certain of being condemned to death, and then suffered to escape with imprisonment for ono or two years, and often for a much shorter time. The law, too, made an improper difference between noblemen and citi zens. Of course this could not be kept to, and the new law will be the more beneficial, as it makes no exception, and ex empts the seconds from all punishment when they have en deavoured to effect a reconciliation, and sentences the combatants, when a life ha; been lost, to a term of impri sonment, which tray be for twenty years, with hard labour. We learn that the King is much interested in the law, and has declared that henceforth the sentence of the tribunal in affairs of the kind shall be carried into effect without favour. FROM WESTPHALIA, MARCH 30.—The negotiations with the Archbishop of Cologne are stationary, but it is to be hoped only for a short time. The cause is the question respecting the Prelate's return to Cologne. The Archbishop declares that be was carried away from Co. logne like a great criminal, and that, not for his own sake, but for that of the Church, he will not consent to be taken back except as Archbishop. It is not judged pro per to accede to this, and hence the difficulty arises. The Archbishop's family seem to entertain other views, and is certainly inclined to give way. The public joyfully acknowledge the noble sentiments of our Eine, and what he has already done for our Church. The Chaplain Michelis, who is still at Erfurt, was in furmed a fortnight ego by Count Von Flemming that by a Cabinet order of February 4, and a Ministerial rescript of March 3, that be was entirely free; that his papers would be restored to him, and that he should receive for a time the assistance hitherto granted him. It was inti mated to him at the same time that he might be again placed in an office in Prussia, but that it was his Majesty's will that be should go to the Diocese of Pederborn. M. Michelis expressed his gratitude for the first part of the communication, but as for removing to the Diocese of P. - derborn, be begged that it might nt:t be taken amiss if be declared that he belonged to the Diocese of Cologne, and coulJ not accept from a temporal authority a place in aey Bishopric but that to which he was bound by spiritual ties; that his health, too, would not allow him at preent to take on himself any permanent engagement. He would return to Cologne, he said, till the affairs of the Archbishopric were settled ; but that ho should be - glad if the Govern ment would enable bins to study for sonie years at a Uni versity, in order to qualify himself, as he had always wished to do, for a Pra2.ssorship. There expressions are said to have beets very well received, and it is probable that M. Michelis will come to Munster soon after Easter. This is an act of justice on the part of the Government which ought duly to be acknowledged. BELGIAN 1, UNDS—Bausms, APRIL 10.

THE THEATRES. CO VENT-GARDEN. After the new comedy of London Assurance, which still continues to draw and to amuse crowded houses, the new Easter piece was produced at this theatre last evening under the title of Beauty and the Beast. It is denominated in the bills " a comic, romant;e, operatic, melodramatic, fairy, extravaganza," and it fully merits every one of these titles. The old nursery tale is scrupulously followed in the plot, save that the Merchant (Mr. J. Bland), the father of Beatity, has been given " a local habitation," Brixton, " and a name," Sir Aldgate Pump. He is, moreover. Alderman, ex-Lord Mayor, and a gentleman in difficulties, and has a faithful attendant in ,the person of John Quill (Harley), his ex-clerk, " a livery-man out of livery." On these two personages rests the comic portion of the piece, and most ably did they support it. Their parody on the duet, " I know. a Baok," was boisterously encored, the quaintness of Harley's singing and acting eliciting shouts of laughter. Madame Ves trig was Beauty, and sang severe' exquisite airs, as she only can sing them. Amongst others, she introduced the air, " Jim along, Josey," substituting the words, " Get along, Rosey," for the original nigger chorus. The gods were delighted to hear their favourite air, and of course insisted on its repetition. PrinceAga, alias the Beast, was well performed by Harrison, who gave the air, " My love is like the red red rose," with exquisite taste aid feel ing. Toe scenery is superb,and for taste and magnificence far surpasses everything that has hitherto been done even at this theatre. The opening scene, " The House of Roses," is exceedingly beautiful. Beauty's sloping-room, in the Beast's Palace, is one of the most gorgeous, and, at the same time, tasteful scenes we ever saw. The concluding scene of "the throne-room" was most magnificent. For splendour of scenery and cos tume we have never seen any thing, either in England or on the Continent, that can he compared to Beauty and the Beast. The Grand Opera at Paris must now hide its diminished head when com pared to Covent Garden. The dialogue of the whinis neat, smartly written, abounding in lamel ot w hi c h ij . 1 . 1 m At the fall ot the curtain Mad was called for and 1 1-4.eiv . ed with all the honours, and liar risen announced this p ,:ttec for repetition every evening amidst the unanimous applaus: of a house crammed to suff.scation. HAYMARKET THEATRE. This theatre opened to-night for toe season, after .7 short recess, during which the interior has undergone several alterations and improvements. The seats in the two front rows of the dress circle have been covered with rich damask and velvet ; the proscenium has been entirely reconstructed ; and the fronts of the boxes, interspersed with authentic portraits of 'celebrated dra matic authors, executed in oil by Mr. J. Wright. The whole has a very imposing effect, without bearing an aspect. of tawdriness. On the rising of the curtain, " God save the Queen" wa, sung by the whole of the compriny, after which was performed the amusing farce in one act called My Wile's Dentist. 'lois was followed by Mr. Jerrold's domestic drama of the Rent Day, in which Wallack played his original character of Martin Heywood. He sustains it with his usual rough and hearty vigour ; and in the closing sceaes, where (jeep pathos is required, was not deficient in tenderness. Webster played the somewhat farcical character of Bullfrog for the first time, and with his usual judgment and attention to details. The play, as it always does, went off with great spirit, for it abounds in dramatic touches, though, as a whole, it. is rather too much in sketch. It was succeeded by Mr. Bernard's melodrama entitled St. Mary's Eve, in which Madame Celeste performed her favourite part of Madeline. This young lady is a very intelligent actress, but a little more repose of manner would not be amiss. She is too fond of attitudinizing—a fault which mars some of her most striking efforts. Her dancing, however, was ad mirable. She moved with all the ease, and grace, and lightness of a sylph. The house was tolerably full, and the performances received with applause. ENGLISH OPERA. After the performance of Keolanthe, which we no ticed favourably on its first appearance, a cew piece, called The Deer Stalkers, or the Outlaw's Daughter, was produced at this house last night. The scenery and dresses were got up under the superintendence of Mr. Mari, and the strictest attention was paid to them, as well for the purpose of producing effect as to conform as much as possible to the manners and customs of the country in which the scene is laid. The piece was received with the greatest possible enthusiasm, and the greater number of tie songs which were sung by Miss Gould and Mr. Wilson were rapturously encored. The ordinary accompaniments of a musical melo-dramatic performance were powerfully aided and agreeably diversified by appropriate tunes on the bagpipes ; and, after the martial notes of the Highland pibroch died away they were re-echoed in feeling, although not in sound, by an English au dience, seemingly much delighted with this novel addi tion to the usual musks! iristiuments of a metropolitan theatre. Where all the actors performed their respec tive parts to the entire satisfaction of the audience, and in perfect keeping with the country and the times in which the incidents of the play are supposed to have occurred, it would be invidious to particularise; but we must in justice notice generally the excellent acting and still better singing of Miss Gould and Messrs. Wilson and Stri tton, and make particular men tion of our approval and admiration of the act ing of Mr. M'lan, who is evidently tho roughly acquainted with the Highland character, and who last night succeeded in realising, on English boards, one of the principal characteristics of High land life, by giving, in look and action, expression to that assumed simplicity which covers the covert cunning which marked the character of the Highlander in the days of the great Mon trose, part of whose adventures the play is osten sibly intended to represent. The musical part of the performance was accompanied by the Highland Fling, " Tullochguum," " Moreir Shim," and other national tunes, which were played very effectively by Thompson, the piper of the Society of True Highlanders. As the piece is one which is sure to have a more than or dinary successful run, and as the incidents are of them selves, unconnected with the music, good singing and appropriate decorations with which it is accompanied, of little interest, we do not think it necessary to give a summary of the plot ; but we would earnestly recommend to those who are fond of a good song, who can appreciate the getting up in the best possible man ner, of a real pleasing performance, and who wish to encourage the representation of the manners and customs of the sister country, or we should rather say the twin sister of Old England, and to patronize those laudable en deavours which have been lately made to make the drama pleasing to the senses, as well as instructive to the mind, to go and visit the English Opera, and witness the performance of a piece which, since the production at the same theatre of the Mountain Sylph, is unquestionably the most attractive and gratifying play that has for some years been produced. The greatest credit is due to Mr. M'lan, as well for the manner in which he has pro duced this play as for his admirable performance ; and the Piper did justice to the music of the land of mountain and flood. OLYMPIC. This commodious little theatre was opened last night,. under the management of Me. Baker, by the lessee, Mr. G. Wild, with three new pieces —Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon, by Harry Lorrequer ; the Little Gipsey, a farce, by the author of the Ladies' Club; and the Olympic Frailties, a burletta, by the author of Cupid. The house was full, but not inconveniently crowded, and the audience throughout evinced the utmost good-humour. Charles O'Malley is dramatised from the popular tale in the Dublin University Magazine, and certainly exhibits an ad mirable picture of life in Ireland some thirty years ago. But the schoolmaster begins to be no stranger, even in Ireland, and we much fear that another generation will hardly pass away before the fine old race, the contem poraries of O'Malley, will be as rare as the lineal de scendants of the old Irish rind Welsh harpers. Were there no other proof of this, it might he found in the popularity of representations of Irish life at present in England. While such a state of society as that repre sented by Harry Lorrequer was common to nearly all Ireland, it was denounced in England as barbarian ; but now that it comes to be a sort of recolection—a memento of what has in a great measure ceased to exist, it acquires the popularity of a heritage of the past. The piece was well got up, and for a first night the performance was altogether unexceptionable. Mr. G. Wild, the lessee, as the Tinker in the Little Gipsey, was exceedingly well received. Mr. Wild has ju diciously, we think, reduced the price of admission to the boxes to halt-a-crown, the pit to one shilling, and the gallery to sixpence—abolishing the half-price to pit and gallery. We heartily wish him euccess. NEW STRAND. This house was opened last everting, under the ma nagement of Mr. H. Ha 1, who has engaged Mrs. Krelcy, Mr. Attwood, Mr. Maynard, from the Adel. phi, and several other respectable performers. The performance commenced with a short' piece written by Mr. Lemon, entitled the Silver Thimble ; or, Light end Shade, which is short, and is net without merit. Jane Harvey (Mrs. Kegley), the heroine of the drama, and :he daughter of a bookbinder, had captivated the heart of a:yid Dabble (Mr. Carrie), a painter and glazier. SLe was also courted by Tom Nabs (Mr, H. Hall), but rejected his addresses, and preferred her first acquaintance, the honest and plain tradesman. Irritated at the refusal, the " Indescribable," as he is described in the play-bill, took revenge on tl7th the fatberafsristtahneefiedeollitya of his daughter, and contrived, ,7 footman (Mr. Attwood), to imphcee him in a r o bb ery which had been committed in tae hous e o f a l ady by whom he had been employed in his trade as book binder.

A Under the management of Mr. R. Honn,lro the les ,, ee, this theatre keeps up its long-maintains. an d well-meri•ed character. We perceive, with please. -e t that although the greater number of the perform er.' are fresh on the London boards, they exhibit in their performance such evidence of talent as gis es us a boP° that they will be an acquisition to our metropolitan theatrical talent, and when they are properly instructed, in their profession, will reflect credit on themselves, and yield a plentiful harvest to Mr. Homier. We would, however, recommend to Mr. Honner to strain those hullitions of tragical display to which pro vincial performers are so prone, especially on their first appearance before a London audience. The bill-of fare ~• last night consisted of four courses, viz., The Tom b o/ Luneda ; Our Mary Ann ; Jock°, the Brazilian Ape ; and the pantorrime of Harlequin Tons ; an d '' • the performers, although sometimes " overstep' ping the modesty of nature," and occasionafif deficient in energy, did, on the whole, fa ir i t Justice to the authors of the several pieces. The act" ,ff mg of Mrs. Paddocks was characterised by grace sod dignity, and, with a little more command over her tonations, she will be one of the best actresses We have j on the boards. Mrs. Hooner performed the parts as' d signed to her with that force and energy which distil]. .4 . guish her performance ; and the audience (a nurnerous one) appeared highly delighted, and applauded the fie' 1 veral performers with great enthus.'3sat• TH EPoi ed o Is . te ore wectl i t fi e cr owdt re3ett in I t t o get i n, a l e .

On the preset]: occasion, however, the sentiments uttered by th hero of the piece—the Proehet of the Ca" CdSUS—were such as would do hocour to the I best heroic tragedy—sentiments which the Ind, ed and Tell so pobly asserted on their native hills. In to we thought that the feelings of the audience at:ea-L.' t participate in then, more warmly from the reflectiotee g the brave Circassians were now fighting the battl 0 ; freedom on their snow-clad hills against the Russians.
