Mr. F WILSON begs te announce ;that he will ve his irst Entertainment on S COTTISH ISIUSIC, and SO gi NG in the Large Room of the LONDON TAV,EIJ,N, THIS EVENING, EASTER TUESDAY, at EIGHT o'Clock, when he v ill , ing a selection of the most admired SONGS and BALLADS of SCOTLAND. THEATRES. which is crossed by the enmity subsisting bet Ween th tribes to which the " Pearl " and her lover respectively belong, and still further complicated by the arts of a rival ; all obstacles, however, are overcome by the - bravery and adaress of the young lover who at tince'gams his bride and his rightful inheritance of which lie has been defrauded by Goorg Ali Beg, the arch villian of the piece, very effectively played by Mr. N. T. Hicks. The scenery and whole getting up of the piece is most creditable to the liberality and taste of the . management. The opening scene, the Hall of Audience of the Khan Sirafrauz, was very skilfullygrouped, and of the rest of the scenery we may particularly mention the ruin; of a village, kith a troken aqueduct and lake by moonlight, the su mer camp of the Begants, the court of the Harem of Sirafrauz, and the last scene, the fortifications of Ilianabad. The dresses, decorations, l miners, processions, entree and combats, of horse and foot, and occasionally of both to gether, are all unexceptionable, and though we are not sure but the piece might be curtailed in the representa tion with advantage, yet it has action, bustle, and inte rest enough to make it popular and attractive. We must not forget to mention a song, " What is a lover, who can tell?" very archly sung by Miss Martin, and warmly en_.,, cored, and a very pretty and graceful fancy dance, which was at once characteristic and-pleasing. The curtain fell on a grand tableau of the characters, horse and foot, amid warm and decided applause. The spectacle was succeeded by the equestrian feats of Mr. Batty's splendid stud of horses, and the ample evenings entertain ment concluded with a farce celled the Family Man. The house was cro vded in every part. DRURT-LANE. NOTICE OF DIVIDEND.

As the majority of an Easter audience is composed, for the most part, of persons of junior grade in life, Mr. Macready, not injudiciously, selected the tragedy of Macbeth for representation last night, that drama being throughout characterised by a great degree of simple and palpable development. Mr. Macready perso nated Macbeth ; some of his readings had great merit ; some few betokened feebleness ; but it must not be denied, that however Mr. Macready may perchance in isolated points to prove unpalatable, yet he so comprehen sively grasps the whole scope of his part, as to give it the circular roundness of a master-piece. This was perceptibly worked out last night. The gra dual declinations of the stern, honest General into the palsying end terrified Thane, and thence into the ap palled and haunted King, till the closing scenes render him mad and reckless, under the impression of guilt and fear, powerfully, and, with propriety, were developed. The pl , renzied excitement which he also exhibited in the last scene, yet, with the sudden and calmed inter locutions addressed to the Physician, along with the final blaze and expiry of his acting in the encounter with Macduff, showed the true actor in a fine light when wound up to the top of his bent. Ms mannerisms and usual enunciations are such well-settled points in the theatrical books that they vouchsafe no novelty of remark ; but one touch, though among the inferiorities of the piece, protruded like a bril liant : the words, " Your spirits shine through you," conveyed it, and was v i gorous ly descriptive of the quick conceptions of the murderers of his plans. Mrs. Warner comported herself with her customary stateliness and professional ability. The incomparable passage of " the hand never to be sweetened," was delivered with a tone tremulous in its beauty, and heavy with a world of sigh. Mr. Phelps's Macduff was a spirited pourtrayal : his " What all my pretty ones I" when the truth crushes upon him, presented a fine idealism of manly sorrow. The incantatory doings of the Wierd Sisters are perhaps the most dilatory portions, and appear overmuch turgid with chorusses. Messrs. Macretfdy and Phelps, as also Mrs. Warner, were individually called for after its conclusion, and the announcement of its repetition was greeted with every applause. A more waferish, off hand operetta than The Students of Bonn could not have been devized for the pleasure of ephemeral fancies. The Bonn Students, proverbially classed under the category of Cologncse Don Juans, enter upon foolish pranks with the school-girls of a pen sion or boarding-house near Bonn, aided by the arch and iniquitous little soubrette (Therese) appertinent to that household, who secures florin upon florin from thest gentlemen in regard of her services with most avaricious audacitf. The artfulness and vivacity sprinkled into the part by Mrs. Keeley gave it great zest. The broad humour of the whole, however, rests on the back of a devoted old maiden, to wit, a Miss Stiffenback (Mrs. C. Jones), who, spite of her grey forelocks, and superannuated beauty, imagines herselt to be the ena moured idol of one of those gay gloriosos of Bonn. Wicked Therese, therefore, in the plenitude of her mis chief, makes this promising dame the scapegoat of all the misdoings of the young ladies and their inamoratos, thrusts all their love-epistles into her reticule, and foun ders her in a host of dilemmas, which produce much amusement. It forms a tricksy, pretty-like afterpiece. The house was full usque ad ccelum. Tickets, 2s. 6d. each ; Family Tickets for Five, 10s. 6(1.

SIR WILLIAM BURNETT'S PATENT fur the PRESERVATION OF TIMBER, CANVAS, CORDAGE, COTTON, WOOLLEN, &c., from DRY ROT, MILDEW, MOTH, and PREMATURE DECAY. The Two Testimonials at foot, selected from an immense number, will afford evidence of the efficacy of this Patent. (COPY.) SIR,—I have sent by the Admiralty Boat, a small ease, containing the piece of board which has been on the bottom of the Rigger's Launch since March, 1837. It has been (with very short intervals) in the water ever since that time. It has never been scraped or cleaned; not any vegetable or other substance appear to have adhered to it. I should consider this very satisfactory as to your preparation tending to keep boats' or vessels' bottoms clean, without praying, in river water. Should you desire this testimony in any other form, I shall be most happy to give it. I have the honour to be, Sir, yrour obedient servant, JOHN COW, Foreman of the Yard. Sir Wm. Burnett, K. C. H. N.B. This Plank may be seen at the Office, Castle-court. Tullamore, King's County, Ireland, Jan. 17, 1842. Sllt,—ln reply to your note, I beg to say th It from my experience of Sir William Burnett's Pro cess o f preparing Tim ber, it has succeeded perfectly, and has enabled me to effect a very considerable saving in. my establishment, by substituting domestic timber where, heretofore, I used the best foreign. I a m, Sir, yours faithfully; THOMAS BERRY. To the Secretary of Burnett's Patent. It is cheap and simple in its application. Timber, Deals, s x. , & c ., Canvas, Sail'', and Ropes %ill be prepared at the Company's Station at Linlehouse, at a small expense ; or the preparation may be purchased for use, under license or other wise, at a rate that will give persons, who are disposed to enter into it as a branch of trade, ample profits. Application to be made to the Secretary, No. 4, Castle-court, Birchin-lane, Cornhill. CORN INSPECTORS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Any alterations of the laws are attendel with a partial evil to some class or other, which can only be justified by the greater good which those alterations ire about to accomplish. If it is just that the parties injured by one change ought to be reimbursed for such injury, I cannot see why another should not be ; but much less can I see the justice of compensation in a case where parties have been exorbitantly paid by die Government for almost a nominal duty. I allude, Sir, to the compensation about to be granted to late Inspectors of Corn Returns, and beg to state a case. It is generally acknowledged here that the duties devolving upon the Inspector of Corn Returns is a mere farce, for I do not believe one man connected with the trade will conscienciously say it is his opi nion that anything near a correct statement of sales are ever given in. I know myself one individual, who told me himself, that although he turns over several thousand pounds per year in corn, he never made a single return for a whole year, but inde pendent of the utility of the officer, I wish to know his claim to compensation, or rather as it regards the places, which is to be the man compensated. When the late Tory Inspector ran away, of course there were several candidates for the snug bertb, among which were two parties having equal claims upon the party having the lift. What was the result ? The two gentlemen came to this arrangement. Neither of us being capable of making out the returns, B shall be the acknowledged inspector, E. receiving 201. per year out of the salary, and 101. to be given to E.'s son in-law, for doing all the work, except signing B.'s name and hanging up the box in the Corn Market. Now, Sir, I confess, it is my opinion, that inspectors are no more deserving compensation, " having been much overpaid for their duties," than the dancing and other masters of her Majesty were entitled to pensions from the country for their otherwise well-paid ser vices. It is such profligacy of the public funds for party purposes which entail such miseries on thou sands of her Majesty's subjects and cause necessity for "ncreased taxation. Yours, 13. March 26, 1842. HIGHLAND SPORTS IN LONDON.—" Putting the stone" and 4 . throwing the hammer," those manly and healthful sports which ware erst so much practised in the northern parts of Scotland, and which tended in no small degree to render the youth of Scotland un rivalled for fetes of strength, have not, we are happy to say, yet quite relinquished the station which they occu pied amongst the sports and pastimes of that nation ; and it is with feelings of national pride and pleasure we report that last week several gentlemen, members of the Society of True Highlanders, assembled on Copenhagen-fields, for the purpose of enjoying, as of old, when unrestrained as their native plains, a game at their favourite exercise. A fitting spot having been selected, the game of " putting the stone" commenced, and was kept up for a consider rable time with great vigour and animation. The stone, which weighed 26 lb., was " put" a distance of 32 feet, by Mr. Donald M‘lienzie, who wai declared the victor. The gentlemen then partook of an excellent and sub stantial dinner, at Copenhagen House, where the re mainder of the evening was spent with great hilarity, under the united presidence of Messrs. M'Lean and M‘Kinnell. ARTIFICIAL LAKES IN, CEYLON.—The Candelay Lake is situate within thirty miles Of Trincomalee, in an extensive and broad valley, around which the ground gradually ascends towards the distant hills that envelop it. In the centre of the valley, a long causeway, prin cipally made of masses of rock, has been constructed to retain the waters that from every side pour into the space enclosed within the circumjacent hills and the arti ficial dam thus formed. During the rainy season, when the lake attains its greatest elevation, the area of ground over which the inundation extends, may be computed at fifteen square miles. This work of tat, and others of nearly equally gigantic proportions in the island, suffi ciently indicate that at some remote period Ceylon was a densely-populated country, and under a Government sufficiently enlightened to appreciate, and firm to enforce the execution of an undertaking which, to men ignorant of mechanical powers, must have been an Herculean operation ; for, such is the capricious nature of the mountain-streams in this tropical island, where heavy rain frequently falls without intermission for many suc cessive days, that_ no common barrier would suffice to resist the great and sudden pressure that must be sus tained on such occasions. Aware of this peculiarity in the -character of their rivers, the Cingalese built the re taining-wall that supports the waters of the lake of Can delay with such solidity and massiveness as to defy the utmost fury of the mountain-torrents. Nearly the whole of its extent is formed with vast hewn masses of rock, to move; which by sheer physical force must have required the united labour of thousands. CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES.—We la ment to learn that at this present period there is a degree of distress prevailing amongst the working clastes in this town from want of employment, hardly equalled, and never exceeded, even in the dqth of winter. We have been informed that from one extensive establishment alone, in between five anti that by many the rsix e men coii r s h e a o v f e . t b h e e e last sfomr id, t and, other houses in the same line, fur some time past, Hone but apprentices have been employed. We believe that mechanics and labourers of almost every class are suffer ing more or less from the same scarcity, or absolute dearth of employment, consequent on the stagnation of trade and commerce ; and the worst of it is, that there is no immediate prospect of relief, excepting in the con tributions of the benevolent. The demands upon the Strangers' Friend Society, the Provident District So ciety, and other charitable institutions, were never heavier ; but their funds are exhausted, or nearly so, and without prompt and effectual resistance from the public, the existing distress must, I've fear, be fearfully aggravated. It comes not within our present purpose to allude to the causes which have led to the present disas trous state of affairs in a country abounding in wealth, and in almost exhaustless means of procuring more, it' fair scope were afforded to the skill and industry of its inhabitants. The evil is at our doors ; i ts consequences are disease and death ; and relief , to be effectual, must be immediate.—Lirerpod Mercury. APPOINTMENT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PILINCE ALBERT AS LORD WARM:N.—WC have great satisfaction in announcing that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will forthwith be appointed by her M„i„ st _, Lord War den of the Staunaries of Cornwall, vacant by th 6 de cease of the Marquis of Hertford. From what we liave heard, we have no hesitation in congratulating the county on this appointment of his Royal Highness, who, we believe, will apply himself vigorously to the reforma tion of the business at the .Duchy-offic e , and direct that the appeals now pending from the Vice -Warden's Court here shall be immediately disposed of. This announce ment will, we feel assured, be received with pleasure by the suitors and the county at large.—Falmouth Packet. A young physician of Rome, says a letter from that city, has succeeded in discovering the means of petrify ing all substances of organic formation, without their being changed materially in colour. A few days are Suf fi&ent to operate this transformation. Ile has already xhibited flowers, birds, fishes, and even human liete?s, cautifully petrified. COVENT GARDEN. The White Cat is the title of the Easter piece at this theatre. It h denominated in the bills. a grand, romantic fairy extravaganza, and it fully answers its title. It is one of those witty, sparkling burlesques that no one but Planche can write, and it is one of the very best he has ever written. The scenery is by the Grieves, and_ the mechanical changes and decorations by Bradwell. All, therefore, that the most splendid scenery, refined by the most delicate taste could do, has been done for this piece, and the most brilliant success has been the consequence. The old nursery tale of the " White Cat" has been closely followed. Mr. J. Bland was Wunsuponatyme, the King of Nevermindsitnamia, and he was every inch a king—a monarch of the olden time, when Parliaments were as little known as steam engines ; did when Ministers, provided they studied the will of the sovereign, had small cause to care for the will of the sovereign people, and when resignation, to please the nation, was undreamt of. Those were hal cyon days for officials. " No Prime Minister had then to trudge it, Because the people did not like his budget." And accordingly we find that, so long as Wuns uponatyme continued king, so long did Count Coincide continue minister. The King has three sons, Prince Paragon (Madame Wstris), Prince Precious (Miss Murray), and Prince Placid (Miss Lee), and in order to avoid the ,evils- of a disputed succession, his Majesty declares dogmatically that he will resign his throne to that son who shall within a twelvemonth procure a dog small enough to crawl through a thumb ring. The Princes concur in a dogged determination to hunt out this rarity, and set forth immediately for that purpose. Prince Paragon being attended by Jingo (Har ley), the Court fool. Paragon an Jingo arrive at the enchanted castle of the White Cat, and never was there such a show of hands as that with which they are greeted on their arrival. These, however, have no bodies at tached, nevertheless one most delicate pair so captivates Jingo, that he falls violently in love, declares himself a suitor, is accepted, and, as he himself expresses it, kisses hands upon his promotion. The Prince is received by the White Cat in the illuminated saloon of the castle, the magnificence of which beggars description, and surpasses everything of the sort: we ever saw. The brilliancy of the illumination is dazzling ; the saloon is radiant with light ; cats are fond of lights, as Prince Paragon shrewdly' observes ; while at supper the cat and the fiddle takes his station in the orchestra, he is joined by other instru mental performers, and the Prince is entertained by . a concert Mew-sard. This is succeeded by a dance ' in the course of which a Moori s h p as d e d eux , by Mr. Gilbert and Miss Bailin, was• loudly and deservedly ap plauded. The white cat cat-ers for all his wants, and provides him with a dog enclosed in an acorn, with which he returns to his father categorically demanding the reward of his labours. The king how ever, catechetically alleges that he, had fixed no time for he performance of his promise, and refuses to abdi cate until- the prince shall marry a wife who shall be of royal blood, " a Divine perfection of a wo man." and one who moreover shall not have been seen by man for five years. The Prince again has recourse to his white cat, who; with a virtue worthy the daughter of Cat-o, directs the Prince to cut off her head' and her tail and throw them into the fire as the only means of procuring the wife re quired. The Prince at first remonstrates against thus destoying her ends to attain his own, but at length gives way, and having cut off " the very head and front of her offending," and cut short her tail and her enchantment at the same time, she appears no longer the enchanted,. but the enchanting princess. who is to share with Prince Paragon his throne and his dominions. To this arrangement the old king is but too happy to consent, seeing that it absolves him from the necessity of abdicating. Thus "Finiscoronat, 0 Puss !" and so is brought about the catastrophe. Manche has been most happy in the dialogue, a rapid suc cession of puns of every description, of good hu moured hits at the follies of the day and of the most outre rhymes kept the audience in a constant roar, while the magnificence of the scenery and the gorgeous splendour of the .dresses and decorations exceeded everything heretofore produced, even at Co vent Garden. There were several excellent parodies sung by Madame Vestris, Harley, and Bland. Madame generally favours the gods at this season by singing one of their favourite airs, with new words. The one thus honoured, on the present occasion was, " All round my hat," and most delightfully did she sing . it, her fine rich contra alto tones - producing the most ex quisite effect. The applause with which she was greeted when she made her appearance after the fall of 'the cur tain was enthusiastic in the extreme. The White Cat will draw crowded houses to the end of th e season. It is decidedly the best of the sort that has been produced for years. The house was crowded. HAYMARKET. During the recess the interior of this theatre has un dergone considerable repair . in its decorations, which, while they continue to be extremely rich have lost nothing in elegance and effect. The sides are beau tifully ornamented with • gilt checkered work on a buff ground on which various emblems and devices in rich broiderings are placed. The colouring is neat and taste ful, chastely decorated with golden ornaments. The prosceiiiuni is supported by four pillars, two on either side, fluted, and richly gilt, while the boxes between are gorgeously embellished with fancy work and mouldings in gold of the rarest description ; .and spanning the proscenium extends a curtain corresponding in colour with the rest of the theatre, relieved by rich crimson draperies with the Royal arms inwrought. On the whole the coup d'ceil of the theatre is extremely imposing raelol Robertnilwas per formed. Tyke, combining delicacy of colouring and elegance, without luxuriance or ornament. Previous to the performance the national anthem was sung by the whole compa.ny, after wliicli AI mi. ortolnve bte r, .s comedy , aeti t n h g e t - h S e cl ehct School - d 'f which he Sustained with great power and effect. The petite drama of Susanne,- and the Worn of D r e ams , s succeeded, in both of which Mdlle. Celeste, who acted with her accustomed grace and espieglerie, excited the admiration and drew dnwn . the plaudits of the audience. SURREY. The Easter attraction at. this theatre is a grand eqUestrian and dramatic spectacle, entitled The Pearl rf the, Harent, fOunded on the story called the "Khan s Tale," in Frazer's well-written volume of Eastern fiction, the " Tales of the Caravanserai." The incidents of the tale are pretty closely followed in the drama, which is put together with considerable skill, and preknts many points of admirable stage effect. The material of the piece is the love of Leilah, the " Pearl of the Harem " (Mrs. H. Vining), and Reza Koolee (Mr. H. Hughes) TIIE VICTORIA. • The Easter performances at this theatre commenced with a new domestic drama, entitled The Lucky Horsf shoe, or the Lone Chamber and the Silent Hyhway. The piece, although it contained many striking situations, was, upon the whole, somewhat exaggerated, improbable, and inconsistent in its various incidents. The maih features of the plot are to this effect : Ellen Marchmonf, (Miss Vincent), has been promised in marriage by her father Colonel Marchmont (Mr. Griffith), to Clement Graylingford (Mr. Dale), but the lady's heart is devoted to another ; she oyes George Framktou (Mr. Seaman), and his father, after some resistance, consents to her contracting the marriage of her choice. On the day, however, appointed for the nuptials, Frankton is in vited to the sea-shore by the treachery of Graylingford'; he is then seized upon, and transported to the coast of France, where he lingers for years. On returning after a lapse of time, he finds Ellen married to his former rival. He soon obtains an_ interview with her, at whicll they are surprised by the husband • a contest then oft sues, which ends in th e f a ll o f Frankton, whd is shot, and left for dead by bis rival.Eller is discarded by her husband ; they both, a well, as Frankton, arrive accidentally 'at th same inn. Another busy actor in the drama, Rober Rough (Mr. E. Saville), a farm servant of Grayling ford is also staying there, and for the purpose of aveng ing some wrongs he has suffered from his master (we d not think it necessary 'to detail them), the unamiabl Mr. Rough strangles Graylingford, and is himself sho by Ellen in her heroic' attempt to defend the life of he child against the murderer of her husband. We shoul not forget to mention - that there is some amusing bye-pla in the character of Tom Hammer, in which Mr. Gardne performs very cleverly - the part ofajealous and injured hus band. Tom Hammer, we must also observe, is the possesso of the " lucky horse-shoe," which has, however, in realit very little to do with the piece to which it gives its title, The acting' was very credit a ble to th e various per formers ; and we must make particular mention of Mis 4 Vincent, who personated her character with her usu 4 energy and power. 'The drama was followed by ty " grand fairy legends ry romance," entitled Altddin or, the Wonderful Lax ,p. We have only to say of thl piece that the plot was adopted to the well-known story and that it was illustrated by sonic gorgeous scenery; and some clever Iscene-shifting. The house was! throughout the evening extremely crowded, and thel audience, considerinKzhe occasion, was unusually orderly! and attentive. SAL LER'S WELLS. The performances. la this theatre were, as usual, of the most spirited kind, and calculated to attract an overflowing audience 'during the holidays. The opening piece, a new romanti o drama, entitled Christine ; or, the Poisoners of Para •, met with a most favourable re ception. The plot wths much too complicated to admit., though its interest would justify a minute description. It was founded upon the system of poisoning, which existed to such a fearful extent on the Continent during the seventeenth century. Catherine, the fortune=teller of Paris, was, in the play, the principal instrument in the diabolical practice, and it was the connexion be tween her and a gambler named Raoul de Beauvillars, upon which the denouement was made to turn. The cha racter of the fortuno..teller was admirably sustained by Mrs. A. Marston, acqd that of the gambler by Mr. Lyon, formerly of the Adelphi, who proved himself a great accession to ;he corps dramatique of Sadler's Wells. Mrs. Honner and Miss Richardson fully sus tained their former reyutation, no slight praise when ap plied to actors of such reputation. The plot was one of deep, and, towards the close, intense interest. It will repay a visit. When the curtain dropped loud calls were made for Mr. I.4yons, who, in answering the call, announced its repetition every night until further no tice. ThiS piece was followed by a new and lively farce, called A Regiment of Tartars ; or, the Pretty Girls of Salberg, and the p Tformances concluded with the drama of Ambroes Gicinnett. The house was well filled. CITY OF :LONDON THEATRE, This`agreeable little place of amusement opened for the summer season last evening, with a strong and efficient corps dranuctique, recruited from the various theatres of the me4mopolis. Among the new engage ments, .Miss E. Terry will no doubt prove the chief attractions. A drauia, by Mr. C. Dillon, entitled, Elizabeth Mowbray, or the Old Chapel Vault, was brought out for the first time on this occasion. Neither in plot nor the incidei its was there any feature of novelty presented. Elizal oath Mowbray, who had abandoned the house of her fivther, Lord Mowbray, with the lover of her choice, returns, after having lost the latter, to her father's abode, accompanied by her infant child. Barron Malvern, a rebel lord, whom, as as her suitor, she had formerly re jected becomes, by to series of successful deeds of villany, master of Mowbra r Castle and lands, and having pos sessed himself of the restored and repentant Elizabeth, plots, for the grati &cation of his revenge, the death of her child, and the destruction of the entire Mowbray family. His plot. in part succeeds ; ultimately. how ever, his villanous 'machinations are defeated, and virtue triumphs. In this little piece (it consists but of two acts) there is, as we h ave • said, very little that is novel, and though many of the situations and passages are very trite indeed, they 'are by no means devoid of effect, and were very well s , astained. Mr. C. Dillon, who took the part of Lord Mos% asray, has got the materiel of a good' actor in him, but there are quite enough of copyists of the mannerism of Mr. Macready, in all conscience, vit - bout his adding to the number. Let him rely moi .e on his own resources, and enact. the imitator less, and, we shall not have cause to regret the result. Miss Te trey, as Resina, gave evidence of the possession of all , the requisites for an actress of the first class in her pecu Liar line—an agreeable person, a voice sweet and flexibi e, and an excellent perception of cha racter. Few young ladies have given so early such promise of high professional distinction. The old and established favoraites at this theatre, Messrs. Shepherd, Johnson, Dunn, :33radshaw, &o. were .good, as usual. In the course of the piece, and at its close, a grand tableau was introduced with striking effect. In the interval l trevious to the next piece the national anthem,-" God lave the Queen" was sung by the entire corps ; Miss Lerrey and Mr. Taylor taking the solo parts. All act pitted themselves respectably and the solos were le tidly- and deservedly applauded. It struck us as n A a little surprising that during the singing of the i iithetii only two or three persons in the boxes rose. Tse other entertainments Of the evening consisted of 1! fuzeppa, a burlesque on the equestrian melo-dramatic spectacle of Mazcppa which was brought out at Astley 's some six or seven years ago under the ma .nagement of the late Mr. Ducrow, a 'laughable ;trifle enough ; and The Goblins Gap,. a tale •of diablerie, as the bills had it, in which Miss T( aTey, with her sweet warblings, again drew down rer sated plaudits. The house was pretty full, but the boxes not quite so much so as the managers could desire. 'rho increased attraction however, whicl: stile company in its present strength and members prese nts, will, we have no doubt, prevent any thing like " a 7 aeggarly account of empty boxes," being returned on a; , ..puccasion during the season. STRAND. This favour ite little heu:se opened - last night for the season, under the management of Mr. H. Hall. Since the. h( !use has been closed, it has passed through the hands of ti to artistes, and though the decorations at present arc by `no means gaudy, or even handsome, yet everything is 1 >erfect, clean, and comfortable. The entertainments commenced by an address, which was said and st tng by Mr. H. Hall, the manager, and the whole of the t . Annpany ; amongst those who were put prominently \ rard, and who sang an address, were Miss Collett, who is a very sweet singer, lately from the Victoria ; Mit 6 Yarnold who also sang very nicely, an d our old friend Kiss Ellen Daly, Whose address was given in her own sty le, and Was much cheered. We subjoin it "1 al a at home once more, T his my native place is ; All x ay cares are o'er • 11l ess your happy faces. iltrheeyfiod4d, tripSol‘oin •rIY trive to please you every night, As i sure as my name's Daly."

PRICE sd. to, L . % , rently exprelsing approbabation by clapping of hands. The performances commenced with a burletta, in two acts, written by Mark Lemon, entitled Robert Burns. The piece is founded on an incident in the Scotch poet's fortune, which it was said induced him to form the idea of- going to thu 'lndies to better that fortune wliloh thrived so ill at home, and which called forth from his inspired pen the beautiful and well-known lines corn. _ • Will ye go t ) the Indies, my Mary ?" There is no plot in the piece worth detaiint,v,, and we are sorry that we can say little in its praise. There is not the slightest interest raised in the whole piece, for every one sees what is going to happen. Some of the language is good, and whenever quotations are made from the works of the admirable bard, they are happily i*roduced,anddrew down considerable applause. Mr. li. - Hull played the part of a Scottish Bard with oal taste and discernment, and was frequently ap. ;landed. Mr. A. lounge. as Davie Campbell ; Mr. Ro mer as Souter Johnny ; Attwood as Tom Coper ;. and de..l. W. Collier (worn Sadler's Wells) as William ;tickling, acted their several parts W ith judgment and taste. Miss Ellen Daly played the part of Highland Ifary very sweetly ; and, t;2ether with Miss Collett, wbo sang two or three Scotch airs with much fueling and aste tiebel ed iy and frequently cheered. On the Whole, we cannot say much for this piece ; the new sce nery was x o.d. Lowever, particularly the Twa Brigs of Ayr, in Scene 3, and Glen on the Banks of Ayr, in Scene 1, both by Mr._ Gordon. Mr. Hall, was universally ;ailed for at the termination of the piece, and announced of for repetition every evening until further notice. A ,)ices entitled he New Footman, which was called anew nterlude, by Charles Selby followed, and created a good teal of laughter ; we must say, however, notwithstand ing that this piece is called a new one, that we had the pleasure of seeing it some time ago, under the title of Smple Simon, at the Pavilion. L'he whole concluded with The Conque,t of Cupid; or Lucre against Love , by Leman Bede. This is a piece, th e pl ot o f whit!h it is imposSible to describe. It is neither very witty nor very instructive, and we think if we' give our readers the description which is given of it in the announeement-bills-they — rxuuse - as - fornot desctibing it more particularly. It is mlled an original, celestial, terrestrial, burlesqnical, tragi-comical, pantomimical, terpsichorial, musical, and Particularly paro-dy-i-cal burletta. The whole company did the best to please, and of the new.hands, we may mention Miss Collett, and Miss Yarnold, as using per fectly sticoessful. Mr. Hall announced it for repetition Amidst tolerable applause. The house was well filled, and there was nothing of which we could complaint di the .-inanagement except the immense time which elapsed between the acts. This more than once called forth the disapprobation of the audience ; it is an error however which we hope will be rectified in the sourte .4' a few days, by which time things will work better. In conclusion we would say that though it is not our purpose to institute invidious comparisons, we cannot help saying that we felt the want of Miss X rerry, who was last season such an immense fitvourite with the frequenters of this house. We say this with every respect for the talents of the ladies, who enacted their respective roles exceedingly well ; but, in givi ng our opinion, we merely express the feeling which, in Common with ourselves, seemed to pervade the audi ence generally. ADELAIDE GALLERY, The principal novelties at this delightful theatre of science and amusemen•, were ingenious and laughable improvements in Mr. Clarke's Biscenoscope, and the in troduction of some charming and forcible pictures in his Dissolving Views. In the BiscenoScope a change has been made, by which Mr. Clarke combines, in a very palpable manner, the ventriloqual d e lusions, from which (as we have before . said) his father derived great aid, • with similar optical delusions, by which the phoretie powers of the great magician Charles used to be heightened. The figure of our solemn friend Scott, who has been for many Years the faithful guardian and beloved friend-of the " Gynin , otus Electorius," is exhibited upon the screen, as large as life, and as solemnly tolls his bell—th e shadowed bill moving synchronically—the shadowed lips, in studied staccato moving to the words—" Mr. Clarke's Biscenascope will now be exhibited, afterwards the Chinese fireworks, whilst the Dissolving Views are getting ready." This exhibition was attended with the greatest laughter and applause. Then followed Mr. Clarke's original and really admirable Dissolving Views. Their peculiar character has already been described in this paper, and -to the praise which has before been given to them, we have only to add th a t the new series of views surpass in light, in brilliancy of colour and in effict, those which they supersede. Amongst views are " A View of , Kingston Railway," wi he enchanting scenery of that far-famed rival to the tay of Naples, " Dublin Bay." The beauty of the: scenery and the skill of the painter cease to engage the admiration of the spectator, when, upon the screen the trains travel, the engines smoke, anti ships in the distance are seen to sail towards the Asylum Harbour, and to hoiSt their signal flags as they come successively above the horizon. The gallery was crowded to excess, and there were se veral other novelties, which -. may be referred to at another time. FARMERS AND T HE INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,-1. return you my thanks for the able and fearless expression of your opinions respecting the infamous plans of the present reckless Government of our country, so fraught with design to upset and' destroy all that remains of the credit and indepen dence of the industrious millions of the middle classes of society. I have no doubt, Sir, a great majority oft those who were instrumental in carrying our worthy representatives (Messrs. Wodehouse and Burrough,) trinaphantly to their seats in the House of Com mons, never doubted their integrity to maintain and defend the interests of the farmers, the major part of whom now shelter themselves beneath the odious curse of being obliged to vote for their landlords, and not for their own convictions of moral justice to themselves or others. I believe, Mr. Editor, we have scarcely a fanner (Whig, Tory, or Radical) who does not repudiate the measures proposed by Sir Robert Teel, as those calculated to do them serious injury, without doing one atom of good to those of our countrymen, clamorous for repeal. Nor is there scarcely one who does not exclaim for free trade, or a fixed duty, that they may rest upon some certainty and have a little idea of the extent to which they may - be rewarded for their capital, skill, and industry. 'ith regard to the proposed iniquitous, inquisitorial, unfair, and abominable income tax, some foregoing remarks may apply—we cordially hate the very sound of it. I do not hesitate to say the inhabitants of Norfolk are willing to be taxed in all due proportion to uphold the dignity and st ition of the British em.- pire. But the income tax is the last tax to which we should resort to make up deficiency, unless in case of difect necessity ; it is a tax hateful and loathsome. John Bull is a tolerable quiet fool, who will bear almost any, imposition, but tax his independence, ex pose his circumstances, injure that whi c h i s d ear to him, his respectability and credit, and you make him an inveterate enemy. And what can we think of the worthy Members who with such cool effrontery, betake themselves fo the miscalled Peoples' House—sit, hear, mark, and should learn the wise measures propounded for the benefit of a great nation, in all the wisdom, in all the magnanimity, and importance of place marching, arm in arm, out of the House, without condescending to vote either one way or other, or defending the deluded fools who sent them there. I would ask what proof did one Member give of his superior knowledge and qualification to represent a county, when, after twenty years' experience, he proved himself unacquainted with the forms of the House? What splendid proof did hs give of judg ment, when he moved for 2g. advance of duty upon barley in defence of his dear friends, the farmers of Norfolk, dwindling his motion into—" That the Chair man do report progress, and obtain leave to sit again." We must, Mr. Editor, take wider views of affairs, we must,return better men, banish the accursed name of party, and unite in bonds of good fellowship, and truth, and justice, for the benefit of mankind generally —we must strive to be " Great, glorious; and free.' Trade and commerce must be unshackled, but not at the cost of utter ruin to the agriculturists. They must first be freed, they must have those _ bonds and fetters broken in which they voted at the last election for monopoly, taxation, and intolerance, then, will they show their natural independence, and shout for free trade, still watchful over their own stations and interests, and being fully persuaded of acting for the benefit of all, upholding themselves "A nation's pride." In conclusion, I beg to express a lively hope that you will continue, unflinchingly (through the medium of your valuable Journal), to expose the treachery and deceit of those who so cruelly misre present and betray us. I am, Sir, yours, Sze., A CONSTAT READER: Ilarleston, Norfolk, March 26, 1842.
