THEATRICAL DwF•F•EnExcEs._Thi s was an action brought by John Liptrot Hatton, the author of the celebrited Eng lish opera, Pascal Bruno, which was played With so much success in Germany, and a gentleman of wellAn , wn musical talent, against the eminent tragedian: William Charles 111Aready, Esq., .to recover the sum of 19!: Bs. 6d., for ar rears'of salary, and two performances in Der Frieschutz and Macbeth, at brurv-lane Theatre. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted except as to 12/. ls: 6d., which he paid into Court. Mr. Simon appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Whitmore for the defence. A difference arose between the parties as to the amount of salary, and Mr. Hatton did that which Mr. Macready consi dered a breach of engagement; and the question was whether the former was entitled to a notice or not. Mr. WHITMORE urged that the plaintiff had destroyed his own case. Supposing the plaintiff were entitled to a week's notice from the time of discontinuing his services, and to two guineas fur a performance of a mongrel kind, similar to that of Punch, where one figure moves and a person speaks from behind, the defendant had more than covered his demand by the payment of 121. Is. 6d. into Court. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for: the defendant. _ADMIRALTY. COURT, •Aprill6. THE ELIZARETII.-MLVAGL. This was an action to recover compensation for alleged salvage services rendered by two licensed boatmen to a schooner named the Elizabeth, of 60 tons (new measure ment), bound on a voyage from London to Canton, which met with a gale of wind near the Isle of Portland, and, it being feared that she had sprung a leak, the master put back, and *hen off Dungeness, on the evening of the 13th of Ja nuary, hoisted a light for a pilot (as lie alleged), and was boarded by the salvors, by whose aid the vessel was brought into Dover harbour.. The owners contended that the service was one of pilotage, and tendered 101., which was consider ably more than the ordinary rate of pilotage. The salvors claimed to have performed a salvage service, for which 101. was inadequate. The value of ship and cargo was 2,3001. After hearing Dr. Haggard for the salvors, and Dr. Addams for the owners, who characterised the action as an attempt at extortion, Dr. LUSHINGTON, repeating the doctrine he had often laid down, that a pilot is not bound to take charge of a vessel which required services of another kind, not in the ordinary course of navigation for the ordinary pilotage alone, declared his opinion that this case was not one of mere pilotage, and that 10/. was not an adequate reward for it, and he al lotted 20/. LOSS OF THE CHATHAM IN 1842. PROCEEDS OF SALE DETAINED BY THE POR TUGUESE GOVERNMENT. The following copy of a letter, transmitted to Lloyd's, refers to the detention, by the Portuguese Government, of a sum of money, the proceeds of the sale of a part of the cargo of the Chatham, wrecked at Figuera, in November, 1842. The circumstance has created a good deal of interest in the commercial world ; and some months back there appeared, under a similar head, part cf the correspondence between the representatives of the parties claiming to be interested in the proceeds of the sale, and the Portuguese Government and her Majesty's Government. From the prompt interference of her Majesty's Government in the affair at that time, there appeared every likelihood of its beim* speedily and satisfactorily arranged ; but from the following official communication from the Foreign-office, it will be seen to be still unsettled. It appears that in reply to the in structions of Lord Aberdeen to Lord Howard de 'Walden, her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon upon the subject, that the Portuguese Government had offered to pay into the hands of her Majesty's Consul at Lisbon, or any Agent of Lloyd's, or to any other person representing the ge neral interests of all concerned in the wreck, on their assuming ail the responsibility of the due partition of the sum, and giving the Portuguese Government a formal release from any further claims with reference to unre presented parties. Messrs. Rendell and Ce. do not re present all the parties interested in the whole of the proceeds of the wreck, and it is believed are unwilling to give such security : ` e ‘ n G t e o nt a l e e k m n e o n w — le l e d 17th of January last, requesting that her Majesty's Mi glm"thdFeiorerrceetigilecdei-pobtffiyh oefetyAeoupErrilllrelltstoefrlBoA4fb4t.ehre de Mi nister at Lisbon might be instructed to demand the un conditional payment to Messrs. Rendell and Co. of the money due to the persons interested on account of, the proceeds of the sale of a part of the cargo of the Chatham. " And I am directed by Lord Aberdeen to state to you, in reply, that as Messrs. Rendell and Co. appear to be neither the proprietors, nor the duly authorised agents of the proprietors, of some portions of the goods which were wrecked, his Lordship is of opinion that her Ma jesty's Government are not entitled, under the treaty of 1842, to demand the unconditional payment to Messrs. Rendell of the whole of the proceeds in question. All that her Majesty's Government, can justly require is, that the Portuguese Government shall pay to Messrs. Rendell such sums as are due to the parties who have constituted them agents for the purpose of receiving the money so due, and giving a release for the same. I am, therefore, to acquaint you that Lord Aber deen will send instructions to the above effect to Lord Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon.

The Lives of Fishermen and Boatinen also insured. High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this lind of Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with other advantaacs, will induce a great increase of imurers.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after. payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 2/. Gs. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to ray 11. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 15g., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of I/. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the rayment of the same at the expiration of five years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

DEATH UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES OF DESTITUTION.— Yesterday evening Mr. Payne .held an inquest in St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, on the body of Christopher Andrews, aged 74, formerly a master jeweller of Berkeley-street, Clerkenwell. It appeared in evidence, that a few years since deceased was a tradesman of respectability and good business, but through a falling oft in his line of trade he had become exceedingly indigent, and latterly his average earn ings did not exceed 2d. a day. In consequence, he and his wife were involved in great privation, and their chief food was a scanty portion of dry bread and potatoes. On Friday last the only nourishment the y could procure was three halfpenny worth of rice an d a little bread. In consequence of this state of privation, he became subject to Ste, and though he Was urged to apply for parochial relief he would not do so, having a strong antipathy to be succoured in that way. On Saturday evening he left home to dispose of a small pOrtion of gold cuttings, in order to purchase some neces saries. To do so he entered the shop of Mr. Tirrell, refiner, of 54, Barbican, and whilst waiting he fell on the shop floor through exhaustion. He was picked up in a state of insen sibility, and conveyed to the above hospital, but on his arrival was pronounced d ead b y Mr. Shaw, 'the house surgeon, who attributed death to natural causes, arising from exhaustion consequent on the want of things necessary to su e -join life,—Verdict, Natural death." • FOREIGN.

Cunin Gridaine ' the Minis ter of Agriculture and Commerce, in the chair. A consider able number of Peers, Deputies, Members of the Institute, and of the principal agriculturists round Paris, were present. The chairman delivered the usual address, in which, after alluding to the exertions of the Society to stimulate the zeal 'and call forth. the energies of the other agricultural associations throughout the kingdom, he referred to the late cattle-show at Poissy, and expressed a hope that it would prove the com mencement of a marked improvement in the breed of cattle in France. The Hon. Minister concluded by congratulating the meeting on the gradual amelioration perceptible in the. general state of agriculture throughout the kingdom. Se veral medals were awarded. On Tuesday last,says the Journal des Chemins de fer, there was, another meeting of the delegates from the towns inte rested in the northern line of railroad between Arras; Calais, and Dunkirk. On Wednesday they were heard by the Com mittee. The works at the grand station for the railroad be tween Paris and the Belgian frontier are going on with great rapidity. As to the road itself, as far as the boundary of the department of the Seine, nothing remains but to lay down the rails, all the other works being completed. The Rouen and Havre railroad is adrandlit with great activity. Three long tunnels are very nearly cut through. Duprez has arrived at Paris, and makes his entree at the Academie Royal, on Friday next, in Don Sebastian. The Asmode steamer has arrived at Toulon from Algiers, with 250 passengers, amongst whom were 69 officers and non commissioned officers, who had fled from Carthagena to Algiers. They are to he sent into the interior of France, by order of the Government. A letter from Rome, 2d inst., states that, in the night of the 29th ult., two diligences were attacked by banditti on the road from Naples to Rome, near Terracina. The passen gers were rubbed only, but not otherwise ill-treated. . The Augsburgh Gazette contains a letter from Alexandria, March 19, which says,. "Mehemet Ali's fool - has stolen his master's diamonds, and absconded. The Viceroy is about to leave,Cairo for Lower Egypt, and will afterwards visit this city. The. health of Ibrahim Pacha is completely re-esta blished. The greater number of the Cons u ls-General have returned from Cairo. Now that the direct steam communi cation is opened with Marseilles, we receive our letters in eight days." The Universal German Gazette states from Rome, March 29, that. in consequence of the recent. attempt at outbreak in Calabria, and the intrigues of the Italian malcontents, the Italian Governments, generally, are about to enter into a sort of federation for their mutual support and assistance. A recentletterfrom Havannah mentions, on the best autho rity, that from the Ist to the 15th February upwards of 1,000 negroes had been received from the coast of Africa, and several other vessels were daily looked for, notwithstanding that all the enlightened part of the population were opposed to that infamous trade. It was currently" Stated in Havannah that the authorities were receiving 17 dollars (85 fr.) for each imported slave.

In the New Central Criminal Court, Thomas Collins, described as a labourer, but attired as a young gentleman, was convicted of stealing, on the 6th inst., a pocket-book and two Bank notes of the value of 50/. each, from the person of Joseph Thomas Martin, the property of Messrs. Thomas Baring (Brothers) and 0., and was sentenced to be trans ported for ten years. Mary Purley, a married woman, aged 36 years, was con victed of the murder of her infant son by drowning him in the Regent's-canal, and sentenced to death. At the Surrey Sessions, James Gearing, a man of a most ferocious aspect, and the leader of a gang of thieves who in fest the Borough-road and Elephant and Castle, was indicted for feloniously stealing from the person of Martha Davis, on the 29th of March last, in the parish of St. George the Mar tyr, the sum of V. 17s. 6d., the property of her husband. She was surrounded in the street by the prisoner and his compa nions. The jury found a verdict,of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten yearsrtranSportation. At Bow-street, John Skinner Francis, a young man holding a commission in the Cape of Good Hope Mounted Rifles, and Mary Ann Browne, described as a governess, were brought before Mr. Jardine, for re-examination, charged with forging and uttering a cheque for 190/., another for 30/., and a third for 250/., each purporting to be drawn by Dowager Lady Nellthorpe, of Seven Oaks, Kent, with intent to defraud Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, bankers. Mr. Bush, on behalf of the Society of Bankers, said a large portion of the property was outstanding, some of which could be traced .to both the prisoners, and at a future day he would be in a con dition to prove that on one occasion they both went to the banking-house to get a cheque cashed. The prisoners were remanded till Friday. At Lambeth-street, Miss Julia Elizabeth Seales was brought up in custody,' from the residence of her parents, at 44. Farmer-street, Shadwell, and placed within the bar, before Mr. Henry, on a charge of having caused the death of her illegitimate female infant, by throwing it into the privy. The prisoner, who is a fine young woman of 19 years of age, seemed in a very weak and dejected state. Mr. Henry did not think there was any necessity for pressing the inquiry at present, as the prisoner could not be tried at the present ses sions at the Central Criminal Court, and the next session would not be before the second week in May. The prisoner was remanded for a fortnight. At the Thames Police-court a tall and powerful man, named Thomas Frewin, aged 52, a superannuated Custom house officer, who has for some years past plied as a waterman at Ratcliff, was brought before 11Ir. Broderip on a charge of killing two cats in the house of Mr. Henry Wilson, the White Hart, Queen-street, Ratcliff. The prisoner- on being called on for his defence, said, in a very collected manner, that he was actuated to do as he had done by an evil spirit. The evil spirits seemed to be the cats, and so he took up the poker and killed them. Mr. Broderip said it was quite clear the pri soner was a very dangerous lunatic. He was ordered to be taken care of. COITILT-WASIEXONABLE . The Duchess of Kent, who will leave England on Tuesday next for the Continent, accompanied b y their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, is expected to be absent from this country for a period of about two months.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, lIIESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lop. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50i ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 62k, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 101, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 i per cent. ; and .the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-49 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 1.08 per cent. against. England ; but the quoted ex change at New York being for.bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. SUN.—There was a decline in Consols this afternoon, owing to a sale or two, and they closed at 1001 to ?- 3 . The Unfunded Debt remained firm, but the heavy se curities participated in the decline.

Among the passengers on board the Northumberland, who sailed with the vessel for the Downs, were Captain Seaton, Lieut. Nelson (2d Madras Native Infantry), Mr. Bell, Mr. Brewer, Mrs. Ballant, and Mrs. Crisp. EXTRAORDINARY THEATRICAL RlTN.—Last Thurs day the Haymarket Theatre completed its three hundredth night of a continuous season—a circumstance unprecedented in theatrical annals! Surely this implies good management on the one part, and a g - ratefld public on the other. We wish other places of rational amusement could rival Webster in his deservedly good luck. •- --„ HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. -lt is with good operas as it is with good pictures. A rich amateur will hang up a Cuyp Or a Rembrandt in his studio, and day after day he will conteMPlAte it with fresh delight. An op:ratic chef d'murre produces the same effect, and no' lover of music could attend- Don•Tanicafe, performed once more last night, with any other feeling but that of 'seeking new sources of pleasure, and of expectation of those chmiCe bits of singing and acting which our matchless artists bring out with such zest and dramatic spirit. • As regards the opera itself, Romani ; the first musical critic and librettist of Italy. and who is besides a poet of no .Mean pretensions—Romani has given .hiS . opinion of Don' Pasquale in the following words:---" in its score, m ore than' the wonted fire and spirit of Donizetti are displayed; there is the same freshness-of de sign and colouring which are So remarkable in his most im portantl'oardkasp:'ti ‘ e! f-- abounds. in graceful and original accompaniments,melo dies, •and agreeable harmonic combinations; add to all this sonic eiquisite duets, a mag nificent finale, a delicious serenade,'" one single chorus, but that of an entirely new creation ; ._in' a word, a happy blending of the parlante cantante.:.!styles, which forms the type of all real and successfu'l opera -but Ta." Itomani's opinion was free'froni the intluep6e which ours must undergo. Ile never witnessed the opera, as: perforMeil hy the first artists of Europe, on our Anglo-Italianstage ; but he saw it at Turin, where the theatre; ranks after La-Scala, San Carlos. and La Fenice, whilst all Italy feels the paucity of artists. Now we have seen this opera performed by Lablache. We could never think it endurable with any other Don Pasquale. Lablache's superiority as a comic • actor arises from the cir cumstance that although a man naturally of a grave and re flective turn of mind, he was compelled, at the first steps - Of his career,to begin with a small theatre; the Carlin() at Naples, where comic operas are the staple' commodity. There are many species of national Brifii-such as the 1 uffo Buffo .1 &c., and it was the latter, the most origi nal and most mercurial of all,' Which fell to the lot of Lablache., .A.n7orgst the most agreeable revivals on the point of taking place, is that of lilselle, which is to be produced on Thursday. This ballet, the dances, story, and scenery of which is so beautiful, is the triumph of Carlotta Grisi, whose aerial style - of dancing enabje her to produce so much illusion in the moonlight danceof the spirits. With this ballet Semiramide will be restored .to us, and in fact we are reminded by the exertions of the management of the concentration in town of that beaN monde, the most essential to please, since they are the yearly patrons of this establishment. The house was brilliantly attended. Amongst the com pany we remarked the Queen Dowager, who was accom panied by Prince Edward of.

THE SOUTH LONDON WATER COMPANIES.—We have heard that Government. are taking active measures touching the complaints of the inhabitants of the southern districts of London of the impuieand dear water with which they are supplied. An eminent engineer has already been called before the Commissioners for the Health of Large Towns, and examined as to the practicability of obtaining the water from one of the smaller rivers ; and evidence has been given before the same Committee as to the practicability of filtering any quantity of water in a given number of horns. A Noble Marquis has also _promised the Lambeth petitioners to keep the subject before Parliament until the existing evils are entirely removed.—Standard. [We have reason to believe that the engineer referred to by our Contemporary is Mr. Easton, who is executing for Giivernment the fountains in Trafalgar-square. The system of filtration is that of Mr. Stuckey, a description of which appeared in The Sun of last Friday, and the Noble Marquis is the Marquis of Normanby. I Music.—lt is rumoured in the best informed musical circles, that a violinist—a lady forsooth'.—is about to appear upon the metropolitan boards, to whose name is already attached a fame which few who have distinguished themselves on the violin have surpassed. The following is from a correspondent, dated Munich, April 4 :—" Munich has suffered in an unusual de gree this muter from typhus and scarlet fever, which has been fatal in most cases to children. . The Prince of Saxe Allen burgh, the Queen's brother, has lost two, and many of tlie first families have been put in mourning by this awful visita tion. A large school in the suburbs returned all its inmates to their parents, and the influenza has followed close upon this scourge, and much earlier than the usual period of its appearance." LEAGUE TR I UNIP II AT ITUNTINGDON.—SatIITdaY night, one of the largest and most intelligent public meet ings ever witnessed in the town of Huntingdon met at the discussion of the corn-laws, in the large room of the Hun tingdon Institution, between Dr. Sleigh, on the part of the Huntingdonshire Agricultural Protection Society, and James Acland, Esq., one of the lecturers of the Anti-Corn-law League. Being the weekly market-day, the town was crowded by farmers and others from a distance, who, from the probability of a speedy election for the borough, have been lately visited by the agents both of the League and Anti-League. Each party selected a chairman, and the two chairmen chose an umpire. Downes Martin, isq., presided for the League, and David Veasey, Esq., for the Protec tionists; Dennis Herbert, Esq., the Mayor, was appointed umpire. The discussion was commenced at four o'clock by Dr. Sleigh, who spoke for an hour ; then Mr. Acland apt lie for the same period. At six o'clock, the time allowed to each disputant, by the mutual arrangements which had teen made, was limited to half an hour; and from eight to ball• past eight each had a quarter of an hour. At half-past eight the discussion closed, and a division took place, when the large assembly, by a majority of nearly, if not quite, two to one, voted—" That not only is the principle of protective corn-laws unjust, but their abolition is indispensibly necessary - to the best interests of all classes in the kingdom !" This decision was received with tremendous cheers, greatly to the chagrin of the hitherto dominant faction of the town end county, who, from the great number of farmers pre: tat, looked for a different result. , THE SURREY DISPENSARY.—The friends and s up. porters of this excellent institution 'assembled yesterday in large numbers at the Bridge Hotel, Southwark, to celelCrete the usual anniversary festival which for many years past bee been given, for the purpose of affording the charitably OS.. posed an opportunity of making an additional contributic n It. the funds of the institution. The 'Duke of Cambridge, who presided last year at the Surrey Dispensary festival, prom iced to take the chair last evening; but in the absence c't his Royal Highness, the chair was taken by Mr. Holme Sumner, High Sheriff for the county, who was supported by 11 r. . Kemble, M.P., Mr. Antrobus, M.P., and several gentlemen. of high standing in the county. of Surrey. On the removal of the cloth, Mr. Sumner said that he had received a letter from the secretary of the Duke of Cambridge, who had been directed by his Royal Highness to forward a cheque ter 20 guineas, and to express his regret at his being preventel from attending at the dinner.
