ADELPHI.

Mr. Webster last night presented his audience with an
excellent entertainment, consisting of a revival, known as
the Mysterious Stranger, and an extravaganza, called the
Fairy Tales of .Bother Goose, said to be from the pen of
Mr. Mark Lemon. The extravaganza affords a • popular
illustration of a number of well-known and long-cherished
nursery tales strung together into some sort of continuity.
To a. certain extent the same characters run through the
whole series, and thus, instead of ;a number of perfectly
isolated pictures, one is made very much to depend upon
the others. The tales which aro thus linked into unity are
" The Story of my Life," by Mother Goose, " The Three
Wishes," " Little Bed Ilidinghood," " Cinderella," and
" The Sleeping Beauty." From each of those some of the
most apt passages have been selected, and with consider-
able ingenuity ;they have been made to run on into one
harmonious whole. How this is accomplished it would,
perhaps, not be prudent to attempt to tell. There is a
profuse amount of excellent dancing also by Mesdemoiselles
Benoni, Maraquita, l'enfant brie d'amour, aril the corps
de ballet—but, perhaps, the most telling portions of the
extravaganza are the parodies of well-known passages from
the more popular of the Italian Operas, which were admi-
rably rendered by Paul Bedford and Miss Mary Keeley.
Miss Woolgar sustained no less than five different parts,
changing her dress and appearing in her new character
with marvellous rapidity. In each she was equally at
home, and whether dancing a hornpipe, fighting a " terri-
fic combat" with Paul Bedford in the real old " Blanchard
and Freer" style, apeing the fine gentleman, or what not,
ua
she gave equal satisfaction. Miss Wyndham, who enacted
Mother Goose, performed almost equal prodigies ; and Mr.
J. Bland, and the other members of the company, did full
justice to their respective roles. The music, arranged and
composed by Mr. Mellon, is lively and appropriate ; and
altogether, the extravaganza may be regarded as success-
ful, although the author did not obtain the customary
nonvacetioonf.goTodhitshwinagss , owing,

of intelligence, or of accurate and zealous per-
formance of duty, it was not that the gentry,
not that the aristocracy, not that the noblemen
in the army were at fault, but persons be-
longing to other classes of the community." It
was the medical department, the commissariat
department, and the transport department,
which were not officered by the aristocracy where
the system had broken down and the main cause
of the sufferings complained of were to be traced.

Dexterous as Lord PALMERSTON is in debate,
and devoted to the interests of the aristocracy, he
was hardly so happy as usual in his remarks in
this instance, and certainly cannot feel surprised
that the officers of the commissariat department
have addressed an expostulatory letter on the
subject of his speech, through their chief, to the
Minister of War. The obvious, if not legi-
timate inference, that in his Lordship's opinion
they were not gentlemen, was sufficiently galling,
but to be charged with being " wanting in capa-
city, energy, intelligence, and in the accurate and
zealous performance of duty" by one in his Lord-
ship's position was not to be endured in silence.
In stating their complaint, they allude to the
impropriety of the charge at the present time,
intimate that it is not for them to point out the
cause of failure, hint at the disadvantages under
which they labour, and challenge from Lord PAN-
METRE a just appreciation of their services. With
an appeal of this sort, couched in manly and be-
coming terms, every Englishman will sympathise,
and though we think they have exaggerated Lord
PALMERSTON'S meaning in respect to their relative
gentility, the sentiment that, " while they conduct
themselves honourably, it matters little with what
families they are connected," will meet with gene-
ral approval. As to the grave charge, unjust
and ungenerous as it is, it is not necessary for
them to disturb themselves further a bout it. The
country is pretty well satisfied as to the cause of
the disasters of its army. It knows that without
proper heads departments cannot go right, and
that it is not in Red-tapism to carry on efficiently
a mighty war. Knowing this, not even Lord
PALMERSTON can persuade it to find the cause
elsewhere. His efforts can only drive the nail
nearer home.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of March 31, in
the Boersenhalle of Hamburg, says :—" The Em-
peror Alexander has the intention to visit Finland,
it is said, and in particular Heisingfors, with his
brother Nicholas, before the commencement of ope-
rations in the Baltic. The militia of St. Peters-
burg are to assemble shortly, under the command
of Prince Schakowski, when the Emperor will pass
them in review. To-day an ordonnance has been
published concerning the beard of the soldiers.
The Emperor has deigned to order, Ist, that the
soldiers who mount guard on week days shall not
be required to dye either their hair or whiskers ;
and 2dly, on Sundays and feast-days they must
mount guard with their hair and whiskers waxed
and dressed."

The Hamburg News contains a letter from War-
saw, which states that on April Ist the appeal of
the HOly Synod, relative to the formation of the
militia throughout the Russian empire, was read
from the pulpits in all the churches of that city. At
the cathedral, in order to impart more solemnity
to the act, the governor and principal functionaries,
civil and military, were present.
The Military Gazette of Vienna contains a letter
from Sebastopol, which states that General Osten-
Sacken, on the 18th March, published an order of
the day enjoining all females to quit the town at
once. The Grand Duke Nicholas, taking into. con-
sideration that a great number of these women
possess nothing in the world, has been pleased to
accord from his privy purse 100 roubles to each
woman having a family to enable her to remove,
and from 20 to 50 roubles to each unmarried female,
according as the case might seem to require (the
rouble is a little over 4f.) It was supposed that
this order was given in anticipation of active hos-
tilities being on the point of being resumed.

SURREY.

Notwithstanding the absence of any piece of the spec-
tacle kind, the engagement of Nir. Wright, the comedian,
from the Adelphi, who was announced to appear in each
of the three pieces selected for the evening's entertain-
ment, was a great source of attraction to visitors, and
long before the usual hour for admitting the public
the doors were besieged by an gager crowd of plea-
sure-seekers. Shortly after the opening- of the doors
the house was crowded in every part, and throughout
the evening the greatest good humour prevailed.
The audience had evidently come prepared to see and
hear all that could, be seen and heard, and a more
respectable and orderly assembly has seldom graced the
interior of the Surrey. There was tho usual circulation
of bcor and other stimulants in the pit and gallery, bu
the audience were quiet and attentive, and the pugilistic
abilities of the rougher sex were rarely called into exer-
cise. The pieces selected by the lessees for the evening's

Wreck Ashore. Each piece was well put upon the stage,
the various characters were admirably sustained, and, on
the whole, the audience were highly delighted wAh the
Raster fare provided for them.

OLYMPIC.

There was no Easter piece produced last night at the
Olympic. The performances consisted of a comedietta by
Mr. Wigan, a farce by Mr. Dance, and the Yellow Dwarf.
Mr. George Vining and Miss Castleton made their fist
appearance at the Olympic in the comeclietta. The lady is
a pleasing actress, and was well received. She was called
before the curtain at the end of the piece. Mr. Vining
also met with a favourable reception, though his success
was not so decided as that of Miss Castleton. In the
yellow Dwarf, which has been performed every night
since Christmas, Mr. Robson was irresistible. The theatre
was thronged in every part.

doubt that the prisoner intended to pay it, because 12
instructed us to do so.

Mr. Gudgeon. said he bad pursued the course of cross- •
examination, to which'the alderman had alluded, for the '
purpose of showing that anything like fraud was never
for a moment contemplated by the gentleman at the bar.
Daniel Forrester—l saw the prisoner at the Stsys"
market Railway at half-past twelve o'clock on Saturd:V,4
I ascertained that his name was Han-,ard Bridges, and' -1'
said I wanted to ask him a few questions as to a bill ft w-
-2L51., which bad been presented at Barclay's and accepts,.
" John Gill," which acceptance that gentleman had de- •
nied to be his. The train was just then coming up to
London,' and I got two tickets, and said to him that ha
mast accompany me to explain to Messrs. Barclay and
Co. as to the bill. He said that Mr. Gill did not pay it.
When we were in the railway carriage I gave him the
full particulars of the transaction. He then said he Was
not ignorant of the bill, and I brought him to London.
Cross-examined by Mr. Gudgeon—I cautioned him-
that he need not answer me if he did not please; that,
he was not obliged to answer; but I did not say that
his answers might be used against him. I had no war-
rant for his apprehension. When we arrived in London
I sent to Mr. Mullens, from whom I had received in-
structions on the subject. My impression is, that the
prisoner believed that he was going to Messrs. Barclay
and CO.Is to explain about the bill.

Mr. Gudgeon then expressed a hope that the alderman,
would accept bail under such circumstances. The gen—
dermal was, he said, a person of the highest respecta-
bility and expectations of property, and had not the-
slightest notion of injuring any person in the transaction
described, and securities of the most unquestionable
charaCter were ready.
Mr. Muliens said, in cases of such a nature, he wag
always anxious to leave it to the option of the magis-
trate, without expressing an opinion to accept or. reject
bail.

Mr. Gudgeon then pressed upon the alderman the
palpable evidence, that his client bad never intended
anything wrong or injurious to anybody.
Alderman Rose said he regretted to be compelled to
say that it was his duty to refuse bail. He referred to
R. v. Beard, 8 c. and p. 143, where Justice Coleridge
was reported as follows :—" As to the intent, I mus';
tell you that every man is taken to intend the natural
consequences of his own act. If I present to you a bill
with the name of one of my friends upon it, knowing it
to be forged, it would be iale to say that I had no intent
to injure him."
Toe prisoner was then remanded till Saturday, when
Mr. Mullens said it would be his duty to call upda
the alderman to commit upon the evidence already prO-
d uced.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the Ist, in the Post
A mpt Gazette of Frankfort, states that several
contracts for the Austrian army have been provi-
sionally adjourned. A large camp is to be formed
in the course of the spring in the neighbourhood of
Cracow, where the whole army of Gallicia, num-
bering 120,000 men, is to be concentrated, and the
Emperor will proceed there to inspect it in person.
Alexander 11. of Russia has presented the regi-
ment of Austrian Cuirassiers, bearing his father's

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of March 31, in
the BcersenhqUe of Hamburg, says :—" The Em-
pero,.. Alexander has the intention to visit Finland,
it is said, and in particular Helsingfors, with his
brother Nicholas, before the commencement of ope-
rations in the Baltic. The -militia of St. Peters-
burg are to assemble shortly, under the command
of Prince Schakowski, when the Emperor will pass
them in review. To-day an ordonnance has hen
published concerning the beard of the soldiers.
The Emperor has deigned to order, Ist, that the
soldiers who mount guard on week days shall not
be required to dye either their hair or whiskers ;
and 2dly, on Sundays and feast-days they must
mount guard with their hair and whiskers waxed
ail dressed."

The Hamburg News contains a letter from War-
saw, which states that on April Ist the appeal of
the Holy Synod, relative to the formation of the
militia throughout the Russian empire, was read
from the pulpits in all the churches of that city. At
tt!e cathedral, in order to impart more soleninil
to the act, the governor and principal functionaries,
civil and military, were present.
The Military Gazette of Vienna contains a letter
from Sebastopol, which states that G; neral Osten- •
Sacken, on the 18th March, published an order of
the day enjoining all females to quit the town at
once. The Grand Duke Nicholas, taking into con-!
sideration that a great number of these women '
possess nothing in the world, has been pleased to
accord from his privy purse 1.00 roubles to each
woman having a family to enable her to remove,
and from 20 to 50 roubles to each unmarried female,
according as the case might seem to require (the
rouble is a little over 4f.) IE was supp .sod that
this order was given in anticipation of active hos-
tilities being on the point ( f being resumed,

STRAND THEATRE.

King Queer and his Daughters Three, the Easter novelty
here, is, as its name will suggest, one of the Shaksperian
burlesques which have been produced in such numbers and
with so great success at this theatre. Tho main incidents
of the original are followed pretty closely in the travestie,
except that, in deference to the festive season, the tragic
and to which Shakspere brings the principal personagd of
the play is avoided by the timely repentance of the two
ungrateful daughters, and the consequent restoration of the
aged monarch to his sceptre, and the union of Cordelia
to Edgar, who has followed the King about in his wander-
ings in the guise of a " Wandering Minstrel." The great
strength of the piece, however, lies in the songs, which
abound in such numbers as almost to entitle it to the de-
scription of a musical entertainment, but, as the most of
these fall to the share of Miss Rebecca Isaacs, who com-
bines the parts of Cordelia and the Fool, the audience, it
may be taken for granted, have no reason to complain.
Mr. J. Halford, as King Queer, did something more than
burlesque the deposed King ; his acting at times was
marked by an energy and pathos which greatly contri-
buted to the success of the piece. We must not forget to
mention, too, the spirit and vivacity with which Miss F.
Beaumont. played the part of Oswald, who is transformed
for the nonce into a sakehelly page. The, dresses, dla
Leech (in the "Comic History of England"), are excellent,
and the scenery and appointments tasteful and elegant.

ASTLEY'S.

Vie Field against the Favourite is the title of the Easter
piece at this favourite place of amusement. It is from the
pen of Mr. Nelson Lee, and will, without doubt, prove
highly attractive. The drama has a more clearly deve-
loped plot than an Easter spectacle can always boast. A
young man stakes his all upon his horse Snapdragon,
which is the first favourite for the Derby. Snapdragon
is the best horse, p,nd is sure to win, but the villain of the
piece manages to gain over his trainer, a jockey of the old
school, very well acted by Mr. Campbell, and adminis-
ters a drug to the horse, which, with rare intelligence,
instantly drops in his stable as if senseless. Then we have
the Derby course at Epsom, never perhaps put upon the
stage with so much spirit and completeness, with its motley
multitude of Ethiopian serenaders, Cockey horsemen,
fashionably-attired ladies, swell drags, costermongers, and
police. The bell rings, the horses start and gallop across
the stage as in a real race ; the favourite is, of course,
" nowhere," and the owner is a ruined man. His !Arse-
cuter next determines to destroy the horse by firing the
stables, and the stables in flames present a grand tableau
of blazing rafters, falling roofs, and red fire. Snapdragon
is, however, previously removed by his trainer, and in the
second act the favourite turns up in Ireland, where he is
the "dark horse" of a grand race on the Curragh of Kil-
dare. Another grand triumphal tableau in the market.
place of Kildare exhibits the favourite victorious against
the field. The jockey "squares the race," restores Snap-
dragon to his owner, who had believed that he was de-
stroyed in the conflagration, and the scene ends with the
triumph of persecuted virtue and the punishment of the de-
tected villain. The "Scenes in the Arena" followed, in
which we had the dashing riding Mdlle. Blanche as Joan
of Arc, and also the graceful performances of the fascinat-
ing Emily Cooke. During the recess the theatre has been
elegantly renovated and decorated by Messrs. Latilla, and
a splendid military act drop by Mr. Fenton perpetuates
the glories and tragic interest of the grand cavalry charge,
which the resources of Mr. Cooke's admirable steed en-
abled him recently to reproduce with so much scenic
effect. It affords unalloyed pleasure to witness the tide of
success which has set in at this theatre, for no manager
ever exerted himself more than Mr. Cooke has done to
merit the approbation of his patrons.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived in
due course. The Gazette contains a royal ordin-
ance which enacts that, from the Ist May next,
foreign letters shall pay a uniform postage of four
reals (one franc) for a weight of four adarmes (the
adarme is the 16th part of an ounce), and of four
reals additional for every two adarmes or fraction
of one above that weigbt. The decree, however,
enacts that as regards Fiance and Portugal, with
which there are special. postal 'convections, the
poitage of a letter of four adarmes shall remain as
at present, namely, two reals for the tot trier and
one real for the latter. The decree further pro-
vides that from May 1 the prepayment of letters
for Italy shall cease to be obligatory. The

Olympic. The performances consisted of a comedietta by
Mr. Wigan, a farce by Mr. Dance, and the Yellow Dwarf,
Mr. George Vining and Miss Castleten made their first
appearance at the Olympic in the comedietta. The lady is
pleasing actress, and was well received. She was called
before the curtain at the end of the piece. Mr. Vining
also met with a favourable reception, though his success
was not so decided as that of Miss Castleton. In the
Yellow Dwarf, which has been performed every night
since Christmas, Mr. Robson was irresistible. The theatre
was thronged in every part.

SURREY.

Notwithstanding the absence of any piece of the spec-
tacle kind, the eug 'gement of kir. Wright, the comedian,
from the Adelphi, who was announced to appear in each
of the three pieces selected for the evening's entertain-
ment, was a great aqui-ea of attraction to visitors, and
long before the usual hour for admitting the
public
the doors were besieged by an eager crowd of plea-
sure-seekeis. Shortly after the opening of the doors
the house was crowded in every part, and . throughout
the evening the greatest good humour prevailed.
The audience had evidently comb prepared to see and
hear all that could be seen and heard, and a more
respectable and orderly assembly has seldom graced the
interior of the Surrey. There was the usual circulation
of beer and other stimulants iu the pit and gallery, bu
the audience lien quiet and attentive, and the pugilistic
abilities of the rougher sex were rarely • called into

VISIT OF THE _EMPEROR OF THE
FRENCri TO THE QUEEN.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a special Court, which was numerously at-
tended, was held for the purpose of considering what
steps should be taken by the Corporation for the pur-
pose of testifying their respect for the Emperor of the
French on his approaching visit to her Majesty.
The discussion was conducted with closed doors.
The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to
amid enthusiastic cheering :--

" That it be referred to acommittee now to be appointed
to make the requisite arrangements for the presentation of
the address in the Guildhall.

" That a committee be now appointed, consisting of the
Lord Mayor, the Aldermen now present, and one com-
moner from each ward.

" That an entertainment suitable to the dignity of this
city be provided on the occasion at the Guildhall, at which
his Imperial Majesty the Emperor and the Empress of the
French be requested to honour this city with their pre-
sence.

" That the Right Ron. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
and the Sheriffs, attended by the Reraembrancer, do wait
upon his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French,
and humbly request him, in the name of this Court, that
he and the Empress will vouchsafe to honour them with
their Royal presence at an entertainment in the Guildhall
of this city, on the occasion of the presentation of the
address.

" That it be referred to the said committee to take the
proper measures for conducting the entertainment, for
fitting up the Guildhall, and to report from time to time
to this Court, if necessary."

A committee, composed of the Lord Mayor, the Al-
dermen present, and a commoner from each ward, was
immediately formed, and they retired at once to an ad-
joining room, and commenced their labours.
The Court then adjourned.

ADELPHI.

Mr. Webster last night presented his audience with an
excellent entertainment, consisting of a revival,
.known as
the Mysterious Stranger, and an extravaganza, called the
Fairy Tales of Mother Goose, said to be from the pen of
Mr. Mark Lemon. The extravaganza affords a popular
illustration of a number of well-known and long-cherished
nursery tales strung together into some sort of continuity.
To a certain extent the same characters run through the
whole series, and thus,
,instead of fa number of perfectly
isolated pictures, one is made very much to depend upon
the others. The tales which are thus linked into unity are
" The Story of my Life," by Mother Goose, " The Three
Wishes," " Little Red Ridinghood," " Cinderella," and
"The Sleeping Beauty." From each of these some of the
most apt passages have been selected, and with consider-
able ingenuity !they have been made to run on into one
harmonious whole. How this is accomplished it would,
perhaps, not be prudent to attempt to tell. There is a
profuse amount of excellent dancing also by Mesdemoiselles
Benoni, Maraquita, l'enfant brim d' amour, mil the corps
de ballet—but, perhaps, the most telling portions of the
the parodiesthe Italian of
Operas, well-known
which passages fromich were adini-
rably rendered by Paul Bedford and Miss Mary Keeley.
Miss Woolgar sustained no less than five different parts,
changing her dress and w appearing in her near character.
extravaganza
more
popular are
of
with marvellous rapidity. In each she was equally at
home, and whether dancing a hornpipe, fighting a " terri-
fic combat" with Paul Bedford iu the real old " Blanchard
and Freer" style, apoing the fine gentleman, or what not,
she gave equal satisfaction. Miss Wyndham, who enacteCl.
Mother Goose, performed almost equal prodigies ; and Mr.
J. Bland, and the other members of the company, did full
justice to their respective roles. Tile music, arranged and
composed by Mr. ellon, is lively and appropriate • and
altogether, the extravaganza may be regarded as suCces •
ful, although the author did not obtain the customars-
ovation. This was owing, perhaps, rather to the y
abund-
ance of good things, which tend to cloy the "
appetite, than
to the absence of those choice morceaux Which ' • u-
stun
late it.
