OLYMPIC.

The performances at this house last night com-
menced with the comedy of Taming the Truant, is which
Mr. Robert Banter (from the Brighton theatre) spade his best
appearance here, in the small part of Captain Pertinax.
The after.piece, being the Later novelty, was an extrava-
pass entitled, /tisane' Gaiaters, or the Ninsbk Nymph and
the TerriLle Troglodyte. Nothing is safe nowadays from the
ruthless hands of the burlesque dramatist. The verdict of
the audience was certainly anything but condemnatory. and
to judge by the laughter and applacesatthe Olympic Theatre
last night, there was no classical scholar who took say
°fence at the liberties taboo with the charming fable of
Acre and Galatea.

night, entitled A Chaplain' Cottage. The designer of this
penis Mr. German Real; the writer is Mr. Andrew

Windsor, has been painted by Mr. G. O'Connor. Our
space will not allow us to notice it in detail today, but
we may state that it was very favourably received by a
crowded audience. Mr. John Parry's deeeription of Mies

and brings the entertainment to a very pleasant conclu-
sion.

ADDRESS OF THE NOBILITY TO THE
EMPEROR.
ET. PETERSBURG, Ann. 7.

The following are the principal passages of the
address to the Emperor, voted unanimously at the
meeting of the nobility of the government of St.
Petersburg.
The address says :—" The pretensions to the
patrimony of Russia arising from the troubles in
Poland excite our grief and indignation. The era
of reforms inaugurated by your Majesty will not
be favourable for the projecta formed against the
integrity of the empire. The nobility, united with
all the other classes of society, will not shrink be-
fore any effort or sacrifice to defend the integrity
of the empire."

PRINCESS'S.

The Easter entertainments at this theatre were
the new three-set drama, Aurora Floyd ; the ant perform-
awe of a comedienne, by Mr. Madison Morton, called Selling
Tinge, and " a new and original whimsical ("Amapa=
founded on the poem of ' Don Juan,' the ballad of
' Lord Bateman; sad the legend of Ladino,' entitled
Beautiful HaiL ; or, The Sea Nymphs and the Sallee
Rovers, written by Mr. if. J. Byron. Aurora Floyd
is running a successful course, which it owes to
the exoellent manner is width the principal chamfers
are acted, especially to Miss Amy dedgmak's impassioned
and yet natural impenonation of the heroine, end Kr.
Belmore's vary powerful, bat somewhat melodramatic

picture of the ;Main I:firearm. Killing Titm can
hardly be celled even a oontediette : It is without plot or
incident, and is merely a dramatie sosos— " keen se-
counter" of wit between a lady end a gentleman, written
with great spirit, sad sestained with equal spirit by Kies
Amy fledgwiek and Mr. George Vining, who has returned
to take a share in the management of this theatre. This
sketch was found very amusing, and was received with the
best kind of applause for such a thing—hearty laughter.
Yr. Byron's new extravagansa has good points, but
it is so very extravagant that it is unintelligible.
We mama but think that, as there is method even
in madness, so an extnivagame or a burlesque should have
a certain degree of coherence or sequence in its incidents.
Thi• was totally wanting in the present piece, which con-
mists of a string of 'cense, io which the actors talk the most
unmitigated nonsense, couched in a sort of rhymed jingle,
eratemed full of puns, to an excess we have never heard
equalled.

THE =TURN HOKE.

At seven o'clock last evening • large crowd of people had
collected in front of the Brighton Railway atatioa, a con-
siderable proportiou of whom were women, to weloome
home the volunteers tram the scene of their mimic warfare
The same order and regularity attended the arrival of the
return trains that chameterised their departure In
the morning. The Ant train with the volunteers
left Brighton at 8.40, arriving at London-bridge
terminus at &30, bringing the Inns of Conn
or "Devil'. Own" oorpa, tits 3rd Loudon or Working Men's
Brigade, and several detachments of other corps. The Lena
of Court and the 3rd London, who Win the AM that took
their departure in the morning, were also the diet to arrive
home in the evening. Notwithstanding the early hour at
which these expo mastered in the mooning, and the pro-
minent part they bore in the proceedings of the day, the
men appeared but little !signed, and, having formed into
line on the platform, marched out of the station, preceded
by their bands, with the light springy Asp
and soldierly bearing for which they are so
much admired. At nine o'clock • second train
came in with the let London or City Ride Brigade, the4otle
Middlesex. sad several of the Artillery corps. From this
boar up to 11 o'clock the trains arrived is rapid succession,
and the celerity, regularity, and early hoar at which the
railway authorities deposited their warlike freights in the
metropolis, ocatrarted most favourably with last year, when
it was nearly three o'clock in the morning before the last
train arrived at London-bridge. The volunteers were loud
in their prise of the attention and efficiency of the Brighten
Railway on the present occasion, especially taking into con-
sideration the tar upon them consequent on the extra traffic
usual on Easter Monday. The snivels at the Victoria Sta-
tion were equally well timed sad entidactory.

SEIZURE OF A CONFEDERATE GUNBOAT

Di TEE MERSEY.

(MOM OUR

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

Considerable excitement was caused in this port
to-day, on the fact becoming known that a gunboat,
intended for the nee of the Confederate government, bad
been seized by order of the government authorities hers.
It had been well known for some weeks past, that cam gun-
boat, if not more, was, being fitted cut in some of the minor
docks, and those employed about them made no secret of the
destination for which they were intended. On thereat' coming
to the knowledge of Mr. Dudley, the United States consul at
Liverpool, he at once communicated with the American
minister in London, and the result was that inquiries were
instituted into the whole of the proceedings bearing upon
the building of the vessel mined. Those inquiries appear
to have been as far micaumhd that the British government
sent down orders to seise the vessel, and at an early hour
yesterday morning Mr. H Morgan, one of the Customs our.
veyors, went on board the Alexandra—that being, like
"290" the drat christesiMi of the gunboat, es no
doubt, bad she got clear off, she would have
modsegose a re.oluintenhg--and took polemics of her.

The veeml was at ones examined and it was found that she I
was smiled with one very heavy gun, while another gun un-
mounted was (Uncovered on board. The Alexandra is •
wooden screw steamer of about 120 tons god a very fine
model. She was built by Messrs. Miller and Co., of the
South-end, for Messrs. Fraser, Trenboirn and Co., of Liver-
pool, the " depositsries" in Liverpool (in coojunction witk
Mr. James Spence) el the Confederate government. At the
time the vowel was seised she was lying in the Toxteth-
dock, • quiet, out-of-the-way place. An iron ship-

brought to • dose at • very late hour of the night
with the faros of Borrowing a Husband. The

The sustained popularity of the Duke's Motto
rendavd a change of entertainments et this theatre un-
necessary, end this effective drama, therefore, held its
place in Mr. Fechter's bills. Mr. Jordan is the suoceesor
of Mr. George Vining in the character of the Duke, Mr.

remains unaltered.

RECALL OF ADMIRAL JIIRIEN DE LA
GRAVIERE.
PARIS, Ann. 7.

Admiral Jcirien de la Graviere has been recalled
from Mexico. The reason officially assigned for his
recall is that the importance of the French naval
forces in the Mexican waters is no longer such as
to warrant the presence of an officer of that rank.

MR. YATES'S INVITATIONS.

The alterations made in Mr. Edmund Yates's En-
tertainment are decided improvements. The seeps called
"Twenty Minutes with a Medium " is happily imaceived at
the present time, when Mr. Home and his noisy epistles are
publishing their impudent gospel. Mr. Tates as the Medium,
and Mr. Power as the Visitor, have ample mope for their
dnunatic talents, and they are doing the public a service by
drawing down ridicule on this new and pretentious phase of
thimblerigging.
The new characters "at the Seaside" are in faithful
transcript, from life, and they lose nothing by We manner
in which they are presented to the audience. The Tramp
(from Mr. Charles Dickens's " Un•Cornmercial Travenol
bas rather more low comedy about it than some of the pre-
vious sketches given by Mums. Yates sad Power, but it is
none the lees amusing or presentable on this account.
The hall was full, notwithstanding the many counter.
attractions, and the entertainment has evidently entered
upon a new lease of life.

peared with his "Quiet Morning" cad "Mrs. Brown at
the Play;" sad the Christy Minstrels is another part of the
gems building bepn • series of four special holiday perform-
awes. At the Hanover-equare Rooms Mr. Keneedy, the
Scottish vocalist, who has now appeared in London nearly
one hundred times, took his first benefit, and to-night Mr.
David Fisher, the well-known actor, will make his fiat ap-
pearance in the same room with a new entertaiement,called
"Pante and Fancies, Musically and Dramatically Mu-
fisted." _ _

ADELPHT.

The only Euter pie.)e provided at thie house was
• link farce, adapted from the "'ranch, by Yr. Williams,
and bowing the title of the Trial of Tospkiwy. The plot
is slight, amusing, and aztaavagant— well suited for • holi-
day and not overcritical audience—and it enables Mr. Toole
to show his talents in light ecoentric acting sa distinguished
from what is usually celled low comedy. The drama of
Aurora Floyd is attracting large audiences, and prowl.' to
bold its prominent plans in the balk for some time to coma.

SHIP-BUILDING FOR THE SOUTHERN

OONFEDBILLOY.

MANCHESTER, WOFDLY Mawr..

A meeting has been held this evening in the
Presley:le Hall, under the auspices of the Union and
Emancipation Society, to protest against the building of
war ships for the Southern Confederacy. There was a good
attendance, but the hall was not crowded. Mr. Alderman
Haim, of Salford, presided.
Dr. WATTS, of Manchester, moved the find resolution,
expressing goodwill and sympathy with the free States of
America in their efforts to preserve national unity, and to
extend to all the rights of citizenship and the blessings of
freedom.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. G. L. Ashworth,
Mayor of Rochdale, supported by Mr. George Thompson,
and carried with half-a-dozen diasentlects. At the close of
Dr. Watts' speech a placard was displayed on the platform,
elating that the Akmander, one of the vessel' building for
the Cool admit's, had ban seised in Liverpool by the govern-
ment, and the audience rose and cheered vigorously for
some time.

Mr. S. Pon, of Manchester, moved the mewed re-
solution—" That this meeting has beard with feelings of
humiliation and deep concern that certain persons in Eng.
land and Scotland, including members of parliament, are
engaged in the illegal enterprise of providing and furnish-
ing war ships and otherwise aiding the Southern slave.
holders' confederacy; and the meeting earnestly calls oa
her Majesty's government to evince its good faith towards
a friendly power and vindicate the honour of the nation by
putting an effectual stop to theme nefarious proceedings."
The resolution was seconded by Professor F. W. Nrw-
itaw, supported by Professor Clot.own SETH of Oxford,
and carried.

It vas enteequeotly resolved to embody the sentiments
of tbe foregoing resolution in a memorial, to be presented
by a deputation to Earl EnstelL

w Ohapaki, who

the insurgent cavalry, when ordered up to pursue
the flying enemy, instead of obeying orders, disap-
'peered from the field, and it was supposed lost him-
self in the wood. Thus the Russians were enabled
to carry off their guns, which otherwise would have
fallen into the hands of the insurgents. A drizz-
ling rain mixed with snow had continued without
intermission during twenty-four hours, and with a
heavy heart though victorious, Langiewicz led his
troops, soaked to the skin and starving, back to ,
Wielee, their quarters of the night before. But what
was worse than all, the ammunition was now all
exhausted—there was an average of one cartridge
to three men. A single (cart-lead of powder and
lead was in the camp, but there was no time or
possibility of making cartridges then. Under these
circumstances, at two in the morning Langiewicz
called a council of war, at which Bentkowski,
chief of the staff ; Borzystawski (who made the
Italian campaign with Langiewicz, and is colonel
in the Piedmontese service), Ulatowaki, Jeziorauski,
and Schmickowski, assisted. Here Langiewics
yielded to the voice of the majority, who
entreated him not to let the national cause
suffer by the dictator falling into the hands of
the enemy, which must inevitably have been
the case had he remained, and divided his army
into three parts, giving the commands respectively
to Schmickowski, Czakowski, and Chapati. The
two latter had not yet come into camp from Gro-
chowiaka ; but Langiewicz was confident of their
return. Bentkowski was firm in his opposition,
and voted for remaining to die, since to advance
was impossible, without ammunition and without
provisions. The voice of the majority, however,
carried it, and at four o'clock Langiewics and his
staff left the camp escorted by 20 horsemen. Halt-
ing near Wirlica, where they crossed the Nide for
refreshments, they were overtaken by • message
from Smikowski that the troops had broken out
into mutiny, and refused to advance in the different
directions which had been pointed out to them.
Czakowski alone succeeded in persuading his men
to follow him to the mountains of St. Croix in the
direction of Canow. Chapaki never returned to the
camp ; but riding from the woods of Grochowiska,
made for Galicia and reached Cracow twenty-
four hours before any one else. There seems no
doubt he was won over by Mierualaweki, whose
enmity to Langiewicz is notorious. Scbmiekowski,
with the rest of the troops, then followed to Wishes,
and there the remains of Langiewices army went
asunder, and crossed the trontier into Galicia.
Langiewicz himself, under the assumed name of
Waligorski, determined to pass through Galicia un-
observed, wait for fresh instructions from Warsaw,
and take the field again as soon as possible. These
plans were frustrated by the betrayal of his identity
to the Austrian authorities.

THE EXPRESS,

FOULD deserves great credit for what he has done,
as well as for his great courage and exod-1
lent intentions. But it remains net the
less evident that he has thrown np no
sufficient barrier against these sudden resolutions
to make war and to launch expeditions, for in
1862, the first trial year of M. FOULD'IS new
system, at the end of which he promised two
million sterling of surplus, he has been corn.
polled to come forward with the admission of a
deficit, and, what is worse, allow his enemy,
M. MAosx, to state, beyond the power of contra-
diction, that the extraordinary expenses of 1862
are not inferior to those of former years and other
administrations.

The complaint of 1861 and 1862 waa that ex-
penses were incurred which were only brought
before the Chamber when they were completed,
and when, consequently, it was invidious and idle
to blame them, and unpatriotic and impossible to re-
fuse payment. Unfortunately the same complaint is
made in 1863. And it will always recur until the
Crown comes to admit the control of Parliament and
the public in foreign as well as in domestic policy,
in war enterprises sa well as financial arrangements.
The nation cannot be said to keep the purse when
its strings can be always cut by the sword of a
War Minister.

ERRAND.

Mr. Byron has acted wisely this year in going to
Eastern fiction foe the subject of his burlesque at this house ;
and in choosing the thou of the " Forty Thieves" he has
also shown his judgment. Few stories present more
variety of incident and character for the burlesque writer
to work upon, or a plot more simple and interesting or more
familiar to every man, woman, and child amoeg the
audience. It has been presented in the form of an soma.
gam at least half-a-dozen times during the lest fifteen
years—from the time when Messrs. Gilbert irßeekett and
Mart Lemon placed it on the Lyceum stage, to the " Savage
Club" gerfernianes for a literary charity. No amount of

ST. JAMES'S.

To the popular melodrama of Lady dudley's
Secret, which is having a great " run" at this theatre, the
manager has added for the holidays an additloual attrectioo,
in the shape of a new burlesque, from the pen of Yr. W.
Brougli, called The Grad Soualion Trial of Cirewnstenii4l
Effie-Dauss. The object of the writer—so far as the writer
of as Easter extravaganni may be presumed to have any
object at all to be to ridicule the rage for sensation
effects which has come apes the modern stage ; end this he
has done in a very smart and vigorous manner. Poor EMe
Deans makes ber &but! in :1 moat woebegone plight, sal
complains that besides her private griefs she has for the last
month or two been traduced in half the theatres of Landes.
Indeed, she hints that the managers of the present day, if
they have not killed the drama, have at leant " Scotched
it." On this occasion she is played by Mr. Rogers, who
contrives to let it be seen that her life, like that of the
Highlander's terrier that was always hating, is "full o'
seriousness," but he does it in a manner that Call
forth peals of the most nesympathetic laughter.

TO TEI EDITOR OS TEI ZIPBESE.

Bti,—The North Warwickabire Relief Committee
beg most gratefully to aekoowledge the benevolent counts.
Danes and mundleeat support extended during the past
winter by her Most Gracious Majesty, by hie Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales, by the leading inhabitants of
Warwickshire and of the towns within the county, and by
the public at large, In alleviation of the great distress which
has prevailed among the operative ribbon weavers resident
in the district between Coventry and Atherstoae. The
committee have for some time ceased to give relief
in the form of weekly alms. They were enabled to
accomplish this without entailing undue pressure upon the
operatives, by the temporary but encouraging support which
the ribbon trade denved from the demand for white ribbons
in honour of the recent auspicious marriage of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales. The committee cannot.
however, comma the sad reality, that the experieuce
of the last three years forbids their hoping that the ma-
nufacture of ribbons can, under the existing circumstances

of the trade, afford continuous and sufficient employment
and livelihood to anything like the whole number
hitherto dependent upon it, although that number has been
sernewhat reduced by removals from the district, end by
emigration. The committee have, therefore, in accordance
with the terms of their appeal for assistant's, after disponi-
ieg more than 4,0001. in relief of the immediate neosesitiee
of the operatives, applied more than 1,5001. in aiding emi-
gration, and the remainder of their fund in other mesas of
'permanent relief, such as enabling operatives to obtain em-
ployment likely to be permanent in other branehee of in-
dustry.
The committee have exhausted almost the whole mean.
at their disposal, and being firmly convinced of the neces-
sity for further exertion on their part to prevent the
establishment of a chronic and widespread pauperism
within the district, venture to continue their appeal to the
public for inch assistance se may enable those operatives
who desire to emigrate to find a livelihood in the colonies,
lend enable others to seek in other callinp that humble
but adequate provision for their families which the ribbon
Indio is not likely to afford *no.

not receive the notice ; and even if they had done so, there
would have been this irregularity on the part of the plaintiff,
that he allowed oily 5 snaked of 7 days to elapse before he
commenced operations. Another eircumataace was that on
previous ocoasioos there had bees disputes between the
plaintiff and the board as to notices. The lint thing
the board knew in reference to this particular
building was when they received a report from the Clapham
surveyor that the work was begun ; and they thereupon re-
solved unanimously that their officers be instructed to demo-
lish the building. Accordingly, about seven o'clock the same
