SURREY THEATRE. - - - A new nautical drama, in two acts, entitled the Anchor rf Hope, was produced here last night, with complete success. Neither the plot, nor the incidents are very new, but the materials have been worked up by the hands of an artist. The incidents. are striking, and follow each other in qui& succ, - ?ssion ; the dialogue is well written, and the acting of Mr. J. T. Johnson as . 6. sailor, (he is the legitimate successor of T. P. Cooke), of Miss Russell as Sally, the sailot's love (and admit ably she acts the part), of Mr. T. Fredericks, as the villain of the piece, (he was cal ed for at the conclusion so ad mirably did be act his part), and though last not least, of Mr. E. Stirling, the author, as a tnevole:.t Jew were so excellent, chat the piece was carried triumphantly through, and the .icuma,n s Star will for some time to come be the Auchor if Hope realised at the Surrey Theatre. The great leat..re ut the night,btosever. %as the Bufficlo Gals, or the Female t thiapean Seri naders. This is also trots; the pen of Mr. B. Stirling. Taking advantage of the present mania for black mu'ic, he has constructed an interesting drama, the steno of which is laid in a plantation in South Carolina. The proprietor, a benevo-, lent old man, Mr. Muggs (Mr. Hislop) holds high festi val on the birthday of his daughter. Mr. Mark Antony Wellington Nelson Tom Thumb, a free nigger (capitally acted by Mr. H. Webb), and Silas Herringbone, a regu lar yankee speculator ( Mr. Lewis), in panther inexpres sibles, have determined to form an engagement with a band of female Ethiopian slaves on the estate, headed by Miss Limy Neal (Miss E. Terry), to take them to Eng land, and bring them out, in order to ease the Eng lish of some of their gold. The female Ethiopians appear and give a rehearsal of " i Buffalo Gals," Lucy Neal," " Old Dan Tucker," "The B oatman dance," and Mary Blane." The concert being conducted by the black Mons. Jullien Mark Antony. Theie songs were given with great gusto—the solo parts sung by Miss E. Terrey—the lady who played on the bones proving her self no unworthy rival of the immortal Fell. Then fol lowed the " Railroad Overture " and the " Grape-vine twist." At last . old Muggs, discerning their talents, frees them and gives them their liberty to come to Eng land, and at the Surrey Theatre the Female Ethiopians, led by Miss E. Terrey, will repeat their performance every evening ; and we opine that the " Buffalo Gals " will eventually become as popular at the Surrey, as the Ethiopians have become at thel St.l James's. Then followed the wonderful performances of the Bedouin Arabs ; and the interesting drama of The Bridge of Notre Dame, concluded the evening's amusements. The house was crowded to suffocation long bafore the rising of the curtain. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, the Hon. Miss Cavendish, Lord Byron, Gen. Wemyss, and the Hon. Capt. Gordon, honoured the French plays with their presence last evening. There were also present the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess cf Beaufort, Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Russian Ambassador, Baroness Brunnow, Mdmlle.

CHARTERHOUSE• SQUARE INFIRMARY. The 11th anniversary festival of this society took place yesterday at the Albion, Aldersgate-street, the Lord Mayor in the chair. About 150 guests sat down to dinner, provided in the style which is peculiar to the Albion. From the report it appears that the affairs of the charity are in a very flourishing con dition, no less than 580 having been admitted into the in firmary during the past year. Of these 259 have been dis charged as cured, 159 have been materially relieved, and only eight considered incurable. Mr. Salmon, the honorary surgeon of the institution, impressed upon the company the necessity for coming forward generously in support of the charity, the claims of which upon the humanity of the public he dwelt upon at considerable length. It appeared from his speech that the institution is at present in need of great extension, and that the amount of house accommo dation is quite inadequate. In all other respects the charity .appears to be in a very flourishing condition. The arrange ments of the evening reflected great credit on the stewards and committee of management, and there was some excellent singing under the guidance of Mr. Hobbs and a select band of professional gentlemen. TnE PARISH or LAMBETH.—Yesterday, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, the parishioners of Lambeth as sembled at the Vestry Hall, to receive the accounts of the Surveyors of the Highways, and on the general business connected with the duties of the Surveyors. The Rev. C. B. Dalton, A.M., the Rector, in the chair. Mr. Roffey, the vestry clerk, produced the auditor's report, and the state ment of the account: The latter showed the receipts to be 13,4261. Bs. 7d., which included 11,8311. 18s. 11d., the amount of rates, and 1,367/. 17s. 2d. balance in hand.

FIRE AT BALLINCOLLIG POWDER MILLS.—The ..... cooperage attached to the powder-mills, Ballincolli?, was discovered to be on fire at the hour of one o'clock on ay morning. Ere the discovery . had been made, the fire had progressed to such an alarming extent as to render a hopes of saving the particular building theeffortsof military were, therefore, directed to prevent the flames reaching the .neigh bouring powder stores, the result of which would indeed have been of the most serious character. Happily the de structive strayed web got under, but not before it had com letely destroyed the building in which it had commenced.— Irish paper. Thomas Martin, Esq., M.P., for Galway, is re. ported dead of foor• PRICE SD. EXETER HALL. The fourth and last of a series of concerts, illustra tive of the history of English vocal music, given for the purpose of raising a fund to build a ?music hall as a testimonial to Mr. Hullah, of sight-singing celebrity, took place last evening, and, carry tog on the chronological arrangement of the three that preceded it, brought the history down to our own times; the programme selected being from the works of composers now living, or very lately deceased. To judge from the enthusiastic applause throughout, this must have been to the audience much the most gratifying concert of the series, and it is natu ral that it should have been, for the pieces performed have, with scarcely an exception, been all popular favourites for many years. The only novelty we can mention was the form in which some of the glees were given, being sung by the full chorus instead of by solo voices. In two instances, Dr. Crotch's " Me thinks I hear," and Mr. Horsley's " Cold is Cadwallo's tongue," a remarkably good effect was produced by the buss solos being sustained by a solo performer (Mr. W. H.Seguin), while the harmonised portions were doubled, as we have described. The following very numerous pieces were encored:—The quartet, "Lo starled chiefs," from Dr, Crotch's oratorio Palestine; Webbe's glee, " When winds breathe soft," in which the chorus ap peared to great advantage; the song of Shield," The bud of the rose," sung by a Mr. Clifford, who has returned from Italy; Stafford Smith's "Hark! the hollow woods," in which again the chorus 'did themselves infinite credit; a sea song of Dibdin sung very beautifully by Miss Dolby; the capital trio of Sir Henry R. Bishop, from Gar rick's romance of Cymon, sung with great spirit by Mrs. W. H. Weiss, Miss Dolby, and Mr. Manvers. The chorus excited, of course, the principal interest, and they sang most admirably, taking up the points with perfect precision, going together without the slightest wavering, executing florid passages with the greatest nicety, and paying much attention to the marks of expression. Mr. Hullah needs no higher testimonial than such a display of the good effects of his system of teaching. A small band, under the direction of Mr. Willy, produced much more effect than we have oteu beard from a very con siderable larger body, proving that it is much better in an orchestra to have one man who can play than a dozen ss ho would if they ceuld. Mr. Oliver May played the harp obligato in Dr. Crotch's air, which was sung by Mr. Novello, " Ye guardian saints," on a small weak-toned pianoforte, the effect of which in so large a building could not but be somewhat ridiculous ; and delighted as everybody was with Miss Dolby's singing of " Ned that died at sea," we are certain the effect of this song would have been still greater had the accompani ment been better balanced with the voice ; so good a player as Mr. 0. May should have chosen an instrument on which he could have done himself justice. Mr. May, sen., conducted with immense vigour. The hall was extremely well attended, and this interesting course of concerts at its close must have given great satisfaction to every one who was present at the whole series. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVEN LNG, FIVE O'CLOCK. We subjoin the details of a day's racing that boasted of nothing "great," either in quantity or kind; that had no prospective interest, except as it regarded the deblit of Sir R. Bulkeley's Derby colt, Montpensier, and that, moreover, not withstanding the weather was all that could be wished, at tracted but a moderate attendance. The betting on the current events of the day was, as it has been from the com mencement of the season, very limited; in fact, no one at present appears to think of any race but the Two Thousand Guineas, and even on that, although of the highest import ance to those interested in the Derby, business is dull beyond all precedent. The Only horses in favour for it are Planet, Conyngham, and the Liberator; the first two have large parties, and the Middleham nag a staunch supporter in his owner, a proof that the recent attempt to make him " safe," by driving a nail into his foot, must have failed. It is doubt. ful if Glentilt will run ; at all events, he has not yet made his appearance. The racing commenced at two o'clock with— The Sweeps of 10 sous. each, for three yrs old, colts, Bst 71b; and fillies, Bst 41b. T.Y.C. The winner to be sold for 200/., &c. (4 Subs.)

PEDESTRIANISM. FOOT RACES AT PECKHAM—Some thousands congregated yesterday at the Rosemary Branch to witness the competi tion for a silver cup, value twenty guineas, to be presented by mine host (Smith) to the victor in a twelve-mile walking match, for which the following men appeared at the scratch, and were thus handicapped :—Wright, the Bermondsey Novice, 200 yards start ; Samuel East, of Westminster, 100 yards start; and Charles Westhall, Benjamin Butler, and George Bradshaw to commence level. The match is soon told—at four-and-a-half miles Westhall had made such speed as to get one turn, 780 yards, out of Butler and East, who at the end of 38 minutes walked off, and Bradshaw did the same a little beyond the fifth mile. The Novice and West hall now were left alone; Wright, although nearly over hauled by a turn and his 200 yards start, walking gamely and well. At the fifteenth turn (7 miles), the time made b l y Westhall was lh. lm. ICsec., by Wright 63in. 17s avei ., andt ie Bth mile Wright being 3 minutes behind, also g n, Westhall finished the distance at his leisure. For the twenty mile race ]flanks, the Warwickshire Antelope, Brookson, of Garrett, and Thomas Co ok, of Greenwich, aeared at the app post. Brookson had 200 yards sta rt, and Cock 100 yards (too little, we should say , b y two - th irds), Blanks soon passed a-head.

Mr. Pole took the chair. Among those present were Mr. Baring, Captain Man gles, Captain Chappell, R.N., and a number of merchants connected with the trade of South America. A statement was made that her Majesty's Government had voted to Captain Camp . a gold medal and 500 1.; the bronze modal to the of "Llo3md'astea, silver y ii h i v m cr e a d e a , medal a t n o d2a the o capta in, bo a divided amongst the crew of the Emilio. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company had voted 2001. to Captain Camp, 1001. to the mate, and 1501. to,the crew of the Emilio. A list of other subscriptions was also read, which was greatly increased by the gentlemen present. A committee of thirteen was then appointed to take charge of the present and future subscriptions, and to apply them to the objects intended. Amongst the com mittee we noticed the names of Mr. Baring, Mr. A. Col ville Mr. Coteswort h, Ca p tain Man gles, Captain Shep pard,' Mr. Price, and the Mexican Consul.

Duauw, APRIL 18.—Between nine and ten o'clock tie, Wednesday night (reports the Limerick Chronicle), an armed party of four men attacked the house of William Crowe, a respectable farmer, residing in the pariah of Doon, towniand of Cooga, near Cappamore, and tenant of Lord Stanley. When they knocked at the door and demanded admittance, Crowe got out of bed, told them to be quiet, and whatever they required should be given them. One of the assailants said, " We want fire-arms;" upon which Crowe replied, " You must have them." Crowe, then went to his bed-room, and having loaded two guns, gave one to his servant boy and retained the other himself. They then came to the front window, when Crowe inquired, "Are ye there, boys?" and being answered in the affirmative, he and his servant imme diately fired upon the group, killed one man, and severely wounded another. The other two immediately fled. The wounded man, after some resistance, was made prisoner, and has since been lodged in gaol. He tarns out to be a notoriously ill-conducted person, and was tried fora robbery in 1846. Armed robber; broke into Lismore House, the seat of J o h n reppard, Esq., near Toomavara, on Sunday morn ing last, and rubbed that gentleman of various property, threatening his life the while. Various other outrages and robberies of the most enormous character are recorded in the same journal. Mr. P. G. Barron, stipendiary magistrat e , is appointed to the Limerick district , in p lace of M r. Yokes, retired. Nearly all the stores in Limerick are filled with and the mills in the neighbourhood are human incessantly tb ' at worli, day and night, by water and steam power. A jury have awarded 1,1001. to Lord Portarlington and his under-tenants for his Lordship's ground, re quired by the W aterford and Limerick Railway on the line from Limerick to Tipperary. The weather, like April weather generally, is vari.. able ; but with a. prevalence of cold and wet not favour able to rapid vegetation. The spring is decidedly rather backward ; but, on the whole, not by any means an un• favourable one. _ . WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT VESSEL.--It is our pain ful duty to record the loss upon our coast of the Ameri can ship Rochester, Captain Trueman, burden 800 tons, which left Liverpool on Sunday morning, bound to New York, with about 300 emigrants, and struck at six o'clock on Tuesday, A.M. Happily the lives of all on board have been providentially saved. She was wrecked upon one of those banks which render this part of our coast (Blackwater) so dangerous, especially to strangers. It was a painful sight to witness so many poor per sons, as they landcd from the Arklow boats which took them out of the wreck, bereft of all the little store which they possessed upon the earth. Oar kind hearted and respected townsman, Mr. Thomas Brennan, exerted himself to the utmost in securing what luggage still remained ' • and with the assistance of that efficient public officer, head constable Nicholson, who, with his men, display t.d the greatest attention to the wants and comforts of the distressed emigrants, bad the uuhappy sufferers placed in the spacious yard ad joining his stores until they could be a,sbrubled to gether and brought to a place of shelter and warmth. He had coals and straw immediately dispatched to the old workhouse, where several other humane and bene volent individuals administered food and fire to those who had been for nearly two days and a night without sustenance. Our excellent Vice-Lieutenant, Mr. C. A. Walker, and Sir F. Le Hunte, rendered all the advice and assistance that the catastrophe demanded. Mr. Richard Devereux, the Rev. Messrs. White, Lacy, and Dillon, Mr. Hughes, Alderman Walsh, Mr. Robert Sparrow, Mr. W. Walker, Mr. Thomas Naylor, Mrs Hogan, Dr. Boxwell, and many others were occupied throughout the entire day and evening in serving out warm soup from the public kitchen, bread, tea, beer, &c., to the grateful sufferers. The calamity has been felt the more severely in our town, as the event took place while the relief committee were sitting, and obliged them to postpone for that day the further consideration of the claims of the poor in our locality, in order to render the rights of hospitality to those who were now thrown in so helpless a condition upon our shores.— Wexford Independent. SHOCKING Ac CIDENT.— On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, two horsebreakers in the service of Mr. Wragg, liveryatable keeper in Finsbury, were exercising a young and high-spirited horse in a gig break through Worship-street, when the animal became alarmed at the noise of a cab behind it and started off with frightful velocity. The men exerted every nerve to check the horse's career, as the streets were filled with people and children in the greatest con sternation, but the frightened brute dashed on wholly beyond control through Worship-square and into Clifton-street South, where it verged from the road and whirled the break like a feather along the foot pavement the whole length of and th intoestreet t . h T e h h e ou p a it e s e s , e a n n g d er a s p r a us in h t e e d r in w hteorrwoara upon across a th lad e road and into the houses, and a painter, who was upon a ladder, d p h a il t e i l n i g off th h e i f a ro la n dr front of when a h house te had barely knocked i deabarelytimett down opitch and went over it, sweeping its owner's clothes as it - passed with the wheel, and the next instant knocked down a little boy ten years of age, the son of a labourer, and passed over his body. The pcor little fellow was picked up seriously injured, with the blood pouring from his mouth and ears, and conveyed to his parent's residence and the horse meantime con tinued its career along the pavement, the driver tugging with all his strength at the rein to get him into the road, but uselessly, as the next instant it dashed in the comer of a baker's window, and, bounding off again, came into such violent contact with an iron post in the kerb, that the post ar.d three large fisgstonea were torn out of the pavement and Licattertd about, and the two men in the break dashed out of it. One of thew fortu nately escaped with only a few bruises, but the other (the driver was raised up in a state of total insensibility, and apparently dead, and carritd to the house of a neigh bouring surgeon. The horse then went on dots n Clifton strt et North, hichis tt minuted by aMO brick wall, fuming the th.elt of s ome manufacturing premises, and on finding itself eh cited by this obstruction, turned swiftly r ..utel and dashed into a pi ivate house at the bot tom, tue door or which it burst open; and here. having got clear of the harness, which was broken in pieces, it ran along the passage till it finally f‘ll upon the stair case, apparently without itmiry. Bat smell hopes are entertained of the child's recovery. THE for DEAN.—This ill-fated youth (only thirteen years of age), whose name is so notorious from his alleged participation in the murder of the " blacking boy," at Greenheys, was yesterday brought up at the New Bailey sessions, on a charge of obtaining, at Heaton Norris, on the 15th of March, by false and fraudulent pretences, a quantity of money, flour, and groceries, the property of Hiram Wake field. He was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle, and was ordered to be once whipped. lie is also to be kept in solitary confinement for fourteen days.—Manchester Courier. THE SOUTH- WESTERN EXTENSION RAILWAY.— On Saturday above 40 houses were disposed of by auction, in compliance with instructions from the directors of the South- Western Railway Company, for the extension of the rail way from the terminus at Nine Elms to the York-road. They were situated between the Westminster-bridge-road and the York-road, and adjoin the site which is to form the termi nus in this locality. There are but a very few houses still to be sold for this extension, there having been about 400 houses sold; the materials of which have realised between 6,000 f and 7,0004 The removal of so large a number of houses has caused rents to be increased abutting on the line Trom 15 to 20 per cent. The directors are already in treaty for the purchase of the houses to be taken down for the extension of the line to London-bridge.
