the Bth Hussars, consisting of • captain, subaltern, non-
commissioned often 44 mak and fits, and 80 troop horses,
left Leeds on Wednisday night Fir Liverpool. whence they

Grenadier', from the Tower and Wellington Barracks ; 360

ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

Professor Christmu concluded yesterday his course
of lectures on the " Domestic Life of our Ancestors," by an
ace oust of early dramatic amusements and literature. He
began by some observations on the miracle plays and mys-
teries of our forefathers, illustrating his remarks by refer-
ences to several of these productions. They had a
purely religious origin, and were employed as means
of religious instruction. Even in the time of the Re-
formation the great preachers of the day did not disdain
to introduce anecdotes and tales of a jocose character, in
order to divert the attention of a weary audience. The
lecturer then made some allusion to the burlesque and—
_

ecoording to our ides.—sometimes blasphemons nature
of the entries in books of registry. of the ex-
penses incurred in the "getting up" of the plays.
The subject of "moralities,' interludes, and "masques,'
then came under consideration. This put of the lecture wee
concluded by some observation, on what may be called me-
ddled mysteries, written by Bale, Bishop of Orrery. The
esrly Anglo Bazon poetry was then treated of. The leo-
turn concluded his lecture and the course by some quotations
from early Baglish poetry.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED TOBACCO.-.
Mr. Emerson, surveyor of Inland Revenue at Whitehall,
had been for some time aware that a smuggling affair on a
large scale was in contemplation, and on Wednesday he te•
paired to Bt. Bees where, about 2 or 3 o'clock that morning,
the peaceful inmates of the Bea Cote, Beek Mill, end Flat
Home had their pleasant slumbers disturbed by the miss
of carts, the cracking of whips, and the vociferous shouting
of drivers, the cause of which, at the dawn of lay, sou
discovered to be that a Dublin boat, the Mary, of Borth,
had landed with tobacco, and these were going under cover
of night, to relieve her of her cargo. Quietly watching his
opportunity, Mr. Emerson, and three assistants, seized first
one and then another of the sailors, each of whom war car-
rying on his shoulder a bale of tobacco. Proceeding a little
further he laid hold of the captain, a strong, tbick-ast,
burly fellow, who made a desperate but unavailing struggle
to escape. A fourth, an old man, and father of one of the
crew, was on board the boat, but was subsequently takes
into custody. The boat was stranded at the time. Ha
cargo consisted of not less than 162 bales, weighing 8,9001 M.
of contraband tobacco, half of it being what is known to*,
trade as " stocks," from which muff is manufactured. Is
value the seizure amounts to 1,5001. or 1,6001. It took
eight carts to carry it away. The captain and crew an is
custody.— Ina...haven Herald.

DUBLIN, Aram 24.
A party of invalid %idlers from the Crimea arrived
here on Sunday. They remained at the hotel prepared for
them at the Lord- Lieutenant's expense until yesterdsy,when
they proceeded in carriages to the Viceregal Ledge, where
the Earl of Carlisle, attended by several members of hie
household, questioned each soldier as to hie wounds, and
shaking hands with him wished him much happiness. One
man, Private Thomas Sulker, of the Bth Human, gave au
interesting account of the celebrated cavalry charge at Bala-

his own plan, and the probable state of affairs before'
Sebastopol; seem to render it most Likely that
some combination will be made with a view, first, to
defeat the. Russian army, and then invest the for-
tress in due form. Something might assuredly
be done by the vessels of lightest draught in •
the allied fleets, to cut off the Russian
communications with the Crimea by way of the
Sea of. Asa. We confidently believe that the
depth of water in the straits of Yenikale has been
systematically understated by the Russian autho-
rities. It is well known that vessels of a certain
draught of water are compelled to unload part of
their cargo at Kerb*, in order, it is alleged, to en-
able them to pass through the straits. But we are
credibly informed that, some years ago, a Greek
felucca, requiring much deeper water than is said to
be found in the straits, passed through with her
whole cargo on board, the master having represented
her as of less draught than she really was. Again,
the fora under Ones PACHA, at Eupatoris, if
augmented by the Sardinian contingent, might be
able to strike a blow at Perekop, whilst the French
and English troops in the Peninsula of the
Chersonesus kept a part of the Russian army in
check. We draw attention to these circumstances, as
seeming to indicate what possibly may be attempted
after the EMPEROR'S arrival in the Crimea.
In the Moniteur it is stated that the occupation of
Sebutopol and the Crimea " might put into the
; hands of the Allies a province and a fortress which
could be used as a guarantee and an exchange in the
event of a negotiation for peace." This seems to point
to an intention of restoring both to Russia at the
close of the war. It ought, however, to be kept in
mind that Sebastopol, in the possession of Ru►sia,
must always be in the Black Sea what Algiers was
in the Mediterranean. It threatens at once the

mouth of the Danube and the entry of the Bosphorus.
It does appear highly inexpedient to allow Russia to
maintain such an advanced poet on the Euxine.
There is little or nothing of Russian nationality in
the Crimea; it is not, in fact, an integral part of the
Muscovite Empire. Whatever is to be done with
the province at the close of the war, the interests of
Europe require that it should not be allowed to
revert to Russia.—Daily Newa.
London, England, 1855-04-25

THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH IN THE

Time appears to be no longer any reason to doubt
that the Emperor of the FaartcH will proceed forth-
with to the Crimea. the Conatttutiattel of Mon-
day it is stated that his camp equipage has already
bean sent off; and the 10th of May is confidently
aimed in Paris as the day on which he will take his
departure. The abilities of NAPOLEON 111. are about
Mbe tried in a new field. His victoria have hitherto
boss pined in civil contests; it remains to be seen
witetber be hes inherited the military talents of his
beam Various considerations concur to recommend
tkestep be is about to take. Hie present* in the Crimea
seems desirable, as a means of giving unity to
the operations of a campaign carried on by
the armies of at least four independent nations. As
Theory will tend to consolidate his throne, he has
every inducement to urge on the war with energy ;
sad at the lame time, from all we an learn, the
laranon is too profoundly impressed with the neces-
sity of not over-et aining the resources of Prance to
be led astray by success.
What course the MONROE will pursue remains
perhaps to be decided by the state in which he will
Sad affairs when he lands in the Crimea. The
Idepaphio accounts of the progress of the born-
Wise of Sebastopol are necessarily cart and
laseepilste. Rumours are afloat, however, to
the ant that no great progress is being
made by the assailants: that the advantage
they have gained have been warned by °made-
able heed lib; and that the dehaese still is the
beads at the Miamians are of the most hemidable
along& If thew statements are well impie l. they
p tlr to sesfirsu the opinion we balm thee than
ems bad asides to einfews, that the aria= in the
Crimea met be beaten in the field bare Sebastopol
can be taken. It will also be borne in mind that in
the review of the operations of the Allies in Tuley'
and the Crimea, which was published in the Yonder
of the 11th inst., regret is expressed that the
plan of die/embarking at Theodolite, advents,
by the way of Simplieropol, cutting off the
Bede communiostkine, and beating them in
the field before inventing Sebastopol, had boss
abandesed. This was the libezaoa's

Advice@ from before Sebastopol of the 17th state
that the want of ammunition had been felt by the
besiegers. On the 13th and 14th the Allies pined an
important advantage on the left attack. The French
twice drove the Russian. out of their ambuscades, and,
after an obstinate combat, obtained possession of •

BERLIN, 'lumina! EVVING.
A despatch, received here from St. Petersburg,
dated this day, says:
" Prince Gortokakoff writes on the 19th, that on
the 18th, 17th, and 18th, the enemy's fire was less
sustained than on the preceding days.
"Our batteries have responded with full success,
especially by their cross fire before the 4th bastion,
directed against the works which the enemy bad in-
dustriously established against this bastion.
" The damages caused by the enemy's fire during
the day are repaired at night. In the night between
the 18th and 19th, one of our battalions achieved,
with success, and with insignificant loss, a sortie
made with the view of destroying the more advanced
of the enemy's works of approach.
" Altogether the losses of the garrison have been
less considerable these last four days, than at the
commencement of the oombardment.”--Daity News.

The last number to be pieced by seniority altar the drawing
was No. 1,822. The Hounslow and the first and second
portions of the Brighton estates would be allotted,
under novel and advantageous circumstances, on the
191 k of July. On toe latter estate several lots
mbleb had been leased for 99 years, at ground rents of
a. deb, and on which valuable houses had been erected,
would be offered to the choice of members holding rights on
that day. There had been an advantageous subdivision of
some of the remaining lots on the valuable Reading estate,
which would be offered to the members at the same time on
very favourable terms. The report adverted to the ap-
proaching proceedings in the Registration Courts, which
would be conducted by the society for its members, as for-
' miserly, free of expense ; and the committee requested that
the necessary instructions and conveyances be forwarded to
the solicitors in time by the &love's, who are entitled to the
freehold franchise. The noble chairman commented on the
report in detail, and, in moving its adoption, remarked that
he had the happiness to repeat the thrice-told tale summed
up in the word success.
The motion was seconded by the Hon. R. Barnum, and
carried by acclamation.
On the motion of Mr. H. PowNi.x.r., seconded by Mr.
SANWITIL a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the noble
chairman, which his lordship briefly acknowledged.
A drawing then took place for 100 rights of choice, and
60 shares were added to the list of rights by seniority.

JOE MUGGISS ON SABBATH BREAM

TO THE EDITOR OP THE DOLT NEWS.

SIR,—Two or three weeitx ago I was walla
home to Houndsditch from Kensington, about one cetlx
on Sunday morning. 1 found Piccadilly almoit blocked
with carriages, just beyond the Wellington data,
footmen, linkmen, and policemen, running about and atio
iog oat names at the top of their voices.
"A pretty way of beginning to observe the Sabbri
said Ito myself. " I wonder who these Sabbath break'
can be." So I stopped and listened. First, I heard t
name of one cabinet minister called. Then up &bed
splendid barouche ; two footmen opened the door, and
got two ladies, covered all over with lace and jewels,
a tall thin elderly gentleman with a blue riband and au
on, and away they went.
The Bishop of Cowbridge's carriage was the next anti
that reverend prelate got in also end away he went.
justice to bim I must remark that he bad but one fools
behind his carriage. It was considerably past one o'oli
before this row was over, and I think, nay I am esnAt
amongst the names thus dinned into the ears of all
neighbourhood, was that of Lord Hobert Gramm,
nobleman who wants to make it illegal fora po a manta
shaved after ten o'clock on Sundays.
Now few of these servants could have got to bed be
three o'clock on Sunday morning ; other men servants a
have been kept up at home to open the doors, and hod
of wretched ladies' maids must have been waiting toss
their mistreats, and put away their clothes.
How I should like to know, in the name of Lord Ro
Grosvenor, could they have been up and ready to ao
divine service on Sunday morning ?
And are not such desecrations of the Sabbath on tie
of the rich ten times more inexcusable than eta wet
Sunday markets, at which the parliament is making n
dead set ?

If they do not let u alone, we will make a palate('
to these Saturday parties too, and acting u gratuitce
boys and calling out their names, whenever they dso
the Sabbath morning, in the manner I have deembil
theatres and evening routs. They wont like that.

THE TRANSPORT sERrIOB.

The following " memorandum " has been fumed
by Captain Heath, the principal agent of transports in the
Black See:
" Her Majesty's ship Triton, Balaklava.
" I am informed that much scandal has been owed by the
stewards and others of souse of her Majesty's hired transports
selling private articles at exorbitant prices. I consider that it
is greatly to the benefit of the army and of all persons em-
ployed in this expedition that ships running backwards and
forwards should, when there is room, be allowed to bring
Private stores on private speculation. The quantity brought,
however, should be so limited in amount that the public
service may not be impeded, and the prices should be so
reasonable as to forbid the imputation to which I have
referred. To attain the first of these objects a regulation
has, I believe, already been made at Constantinople that no
private stores for sales are to be shipped from that
port without permission from the Transport-office; and
I have further to direct that on arrival at Balaklava,
whether from Constantinople or any other port, a list
of private stores for sale is to be brought to me. To
attain the second object—viz., that the articles so brought
shall be sold at reasonable priest —I have to direct that the
masters of transports will noti to the stewards and others
who may be in the habit of trading on board their respective
ships that they are not allowed to charge more than one-
eighth in addition to the prices on share at place of ship.
ment for dead stock, such as hams, ale, &A, and one-
fifth for live stock. Thus, ale costing 12.. per dozen in store
at Constantinople, may be sold here for 13s. 6d. A turkey ,
costing be. at port of shipment, may be sold here for fie.
I beg the stewards may be informed that if it should become
known to me that these proportions have been exceeded, all
I trading in that ship will be stopped. I rely on the assistance
of masters of transports in carrying out these regulations.
Their object is not only the good of the expedition, but to
, rescue oar service from imputations which, although in some
, cases well founded, have in others been most usjout. No goods
of any description are ever to be brought as freight.

CHARGE OF FRAUD IN HULL.

On Monday morning considerable interest was
manifested in the town at toe report, which was commonly
current, of a gentleman of fashion having bete apprebeadeo
on a charge of having defrauded the Arm of Messrs. liar
rison, Watson, and Co , bankers. A great number of gen
dolmen and bankers crowded the court to hear the case. At
ten o'clock, Georg* Henry B. D. Plantagenet Harrison, •
fashionably-dressed, moustachioed and bearded Englishmen,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Travis, the police mortis
trate, charged with haring unlawfully obtained 251. from
the Messrs. Harrison, on Saturday last. TVs facts of the
cose were that on Tuesday last the defendant went to the
Worcester City and County Banking Company, showed a
bond for 1001., which, he said, would shortly la 3 due to
him, and be received 761. and a checkbook. On Saturday
last he obtained from the Messrs. Harrison 251., leaving a
bond for 1,0001. as security, and referring to the Worcester
Bank one of his cheques for 601. to be presented. From
Hull he went to Grimsby, and obtained 161. from a bank
them, showing the cheque-book of the Worcester Back
and a receipt for • bill which he left there for 5381. 10e.,
drawn upon and accepted by Woolf and Co. Mr. Har-
rison, however, had telegraphed to Worcester to know
if the cheque far 601. would be honoured, sad on receipt of
an answer that it would not be. he had the detendant sprint.
bonded. The manager of the Worcester Bank said be bad
tusfertsusately given the cheque book to the accused, l
under
the impreasioa that he would not draw until the bil was at
maturity. Mr. Travis said he did not see that there bad
been a fraud. The accused then sent for • bee, and pro-
duced to the magistrate his commission as • general in the
South Americus service, a manuscript book containing many
foreign passports and splinted petition which, he said, bad
been presented to the House of Lords, in which he laid claim
to tides, end to being the hek-at-law of Edward 111. He
contended that this was a debt, and be was willing to repay
the money he bad received of Mr. Harrison and of the
Grimsby beaker; but would not pay the Worcester Bank
on principle. Mr. Travis said he would discharge him on
the money being refunded. The money was paid at the
police-oMo' by " the General," who, we believe, was subs*.
(wady itidAst to give Mr. Abel, the manager of the
Worcester Busk, • promissory note for the future payment
of the 751., and then left with his luggage and uniform,
which, we hear, was worth nearly 2,0001., in • cab.—Hull
