QUICK TRAVELLING.—The General Steam Navi-
gation Company's steamship Berlin, Captain E. H. Frost,
left Hamburg on Saturday morning last at one o'clock, and
arrived at St. Katherine's wharf at half-past 12 noon the
following day, thus making the passage from port to port
in 351 hours.

SCOTCH MORALITY.—The Scotch papers are in
effliction. They are in the deepest of holy horror
because the Queen did not attend church in public on
Sunday week, and yet went out driving in the afternoon.
What would the gloomy observers of the Sabbath have
said if they had been on the road to Richmond about three
o'clock last Sunday afternoon ? Indignation meetings
would have been held from Bramar to " auld
The Prince and Princess of Wales had resolved to dine
at the White-lodge, and to entertain a small party
at their impromptu banquet, for it had only been thought
of the night before, after the Volunteer review. There
was no provender nor Italian cook at the White Lodge, so
that everything had to be sent out on Sunday. About
half-past two o'clock a private omnibus set out from Marl-
borough-house, crammed with cooks, kitchen-maids,
hampers, and canvas and carpet bags. The side windows
were all open ; and in the centre of the 'bus sat le chef cis
cuisine, arrayed in full official costume—white jacket, red
cap, &c. In his mouth was a short pipe, from which ascended
whiffs of tobacco not the most fragrant, as pipes were being
put out in the closing public-houses, and as West-end Lon-
don was obeying the calls of church bells tolling from a
hundred steeples. Many a pious eye was raised in wonder
and despair ; and gloomy forebodings of a return to the days
of George IV. disturbed many a religious soul. The fact
is, German manners prevail at court; and, though the
Prince and Princess never miss attending church on Sun-
day, like the Queen herself, they enjoy themselves in the
afternoon, and have no scruple about a drive in the parks
and a quiet dinner party in the evening. The private opinion
of the Scotch Church that they cannot be among the pre-
destined does not seem to affect cheir spirits. The recep.
tion given to the Princess in Cambridge has been enthusi-
astic beyond all precedent of receptions of royalty in that
seat of learning; and the cheers for the King of Denmark,
with the torrent of counter-groans fur Earl liu.,isell, and
not a little significant as to the feeling of the manhood and
intellect of the country in respect of the Danieh question,
and the conduct of our Foreign Minister in respect thereto,
A STRANGE VESSEL IN BELFAST.—Yesterday,
about eleven o'clock, a strange looking craft put into our
quays. She came from the Clyde on her trial trip, and made
the passage at the extraordinary speed of twenty miles an
hour. She is very rough-looking in exterior, having, ap-
parently, received only one coat of paint; still she is about
as smart-looking a vessel as ever entered the port. Her lines
are very gracefully drawn, and she is very low in the bows,
as if made to plough through the waves. She has three
funnels in front of the paddle-boxes, two masts with no
rigging between--in fact she has scarcely any rigging at
all. Although only 1,000 tons burthen, her engines are
1,400 horse power. After making all inquiries we could
about her future occupation, we believe we are correct in
stating that she has been purchased by a Confederate firm
in London to run the blockade it possible, and that Mobile
is her destination. She has no name painted upon her, but
will, we believe, be known in future as " No. 27," Sh
loft for the Clyde last night,--,Eolf4st Whig.

Princess's Theatre

Last night a new three act drama, by Mr Snr.4l
author of "The Templar," was produced at 1141-
theatre. The drama is entitled "L;ght
shadow," but why or wherefore we cannot icosginii
for it is in no degree appropriate to the piece itset
which is framed on one of the incidents said toll%
occurred in Paris during the regency of
Orleans, memorable in history by the rise of Jc)".,
Law's speculative mania known as the great 3116°:,
sippi scheme, during which great fortunes °e;
both lost and won in a few days, sometimes in 9 {e
hours. The incident taken by Mr. Slaw is t''hal:;
related of the hunchback of the Rue Gui-,;
campoix, who, it is said, was enabled 01
achieve a colossal fortune by, in the Pr
instance, letting hid hump as a writing deal
,
during the night of the scheme, and, then, 11k,
whets, joining in the scheme, but, unlike the ts9Jc:i
ray, securing his fortune, which he had so
ously won. The character of the hunchback sq",
sustained by Mr. Dominick Murray, who Olt
time ago made a very fearourable. debut at t-re
theatre. At the commencement of the play Fler-0
the hunchback, is secretary to the proud Oct tb, a
tiquated nobleman, and although aware of
wildness of his passion, he secretly nourishes "b
hihilti,
passion. The lady, of coarse, has a lover, and t
person nearly kills the poor fellow by knocking `''.l
down while galloping his horse. Whilst anflerll3.
from his injuries, he hears that the Inarclublio
i'
hie master, is about to pall down
mother's cottage, in order to increase
beauty of the pleasure grounds. The hunchbae'
pleads in vain for time, as removal would be dealt
to his sick mother. The mother dies while o6l
heuse is being razed, and the hunchback, frantic
the news, attacks the marquis. For this he is col
into the Bastille, where he is left forgotten for 4110
years. The old marquis's daughter procures P.
discharge, and then, sick and friendless, he goeB to
the Rue Quincampoix, and then becomes mixed tit!,
in the speculation mania, He becomes rich, tme.
marquis becomes poor; the lady's lover is report%
dead, and her brother is under sentence of death
an attainted traitor. Pierre has become all peat/4
ful in iefluence with the Regent. and the niariltivi
and his daughter seek him to obtain
don for their relative. At first he refuses%
but his love for the lady makes him re..
lent. He saves the young man's life, and tbei:
Clarisse consents to become the wife of the hunt
back. Everything is arranged for the weddin_g.:
but the former lover of the lady arrives, and th
t;
Pierre magnanimously foregoes his claim on tea
lady's hand, and the young couple are indel!ea
for the blissful happiness to the once deaPisri
hunchback. Mr. Dominick Murray gave a ley
vivid representati,n of the part, and shovied';,4
the force and intensity of his conception, n'"6
abilities as an actor. Mr. David Fisher ils°lo
capital part—a rough French peasant—which.os.
played remarkably well; and Mr. S. W. 111-efis
tamed the part of the old Marquis With gr
