HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Holcrofes comedy of the Egad to Ruin was pro-
duced here last night, and Miss Rosa Bennett, a
young actress, new to the London stage, appeared in
the character of Sophia. Her debit was most suc-
cessful. She is a pretty young woman, somewhat
under the middle stature, with a light figure, ani-
mated and expressive features, and a musical voice.
Her reading of the part was admirable, and by no
means common. Many clever actresses have made
Sophia an awkward, vulgar hoyden—such a person as
an accomplished gentleman could not possibly fall i❑
love with. Miss Barnett has seen the absurdity of
this, and has represented Sophia as being, what the
author certainly intended—a simple, innocent
girl, brought up in retirement, and ignorant
of the world—quite a child of nature, but
at the same time gifted by nature with
modesty, grace, and delicacy. Miss Bennett thus
made Harry Dornton's passion for Sophia appear the
most natural thing in the world, and her intelligent
conception and charming performance of the cha-
racter removed any objection to the play on the score
of probability. She was warmly applauded in every
scene; and when she appeared before the curtain at
the end of the play she was loudly and repeatedly
cheered from every part of the louse. The play al-
together was very pleasantly acted. 21r. Leigh
Murray's Harry Dornton was a feeling and manly
performance ; Mr. Wigan's Goldfinch was full of
vivacity, though occasionally somewhat extravagant,
and verging on farce ; and Mrs. Selby was a capital
Widow Warren. Mr. Stuart as Mr. Dornton, Mr.
Rogers as Sulky, and Mr. Lambert as Silky, sus-
tained their parts with .good sense and propriety, The
house was well filled.

DUPLEX RUDDER AND SCREW

PROPELLER.

Under tha above title, Captain E. J. Carpenter,
R.N., has patented an invention in the art of propEi..
ling vessels by screw, which bids fair to constitute a
new era in steam navigation. Vessels propelled by
screw are, indeed, no longer a novelty ; but the pe-
culiarity of Captain Carpenter's invention is, that two
screws are made use of instead of one, which greatly
increases the speed, while the ship is steered
by two rudders, which in an equal degree
increases the control obtained over her. In
order to obtain these results, Captain Carpenter
builds his vessels on a principle different from any
that has hitherto been adopted. From the stem to
the midships section the keel is laid down the same as
in other vessels; but from the rnidships towards the
stern the keel gradually tapers off till it i 3 lost in the
water-line. But in place of this single keel, two new
keels start from the midships, and are continued in
parallel lines to the stern, the distance between them
varying, of course, according to the size of the
vessel. Each of these keels is fitted with a stern-
post and rudder, and between the keel and the

OVERLAND MAIL

We have received by way of Trieste the following
telegraphic message in anticipation of the overland
mail :

TRIESTE, SEPT. 30.
" The Austrian Lloyd's steamer Egitto arrived
here yesterday, Sept. 29, at 9 P.M., with advices from
Bombay to the Ist of September.
"The Governor• General returned to Calcutta on
the 6th of August.

" Commodore Lambert, accompanied by Captain
Rundall, of the Engineers, had gone up to Prome in
the Phlegethon steamer to reconnoitre; it was under-
stood that she would be speedily followed by other
vessels, and that Procne would be occupied by an ad-
vanced force, consisting of the 18th Royal Irish and
the 40th Native Infantry.
"It was also believed that a general advance would
be made as soon as four or five fresh regiments had
reached Rangoon.

"Money was abundant. Exchange on London,

We have reason to believe that the statement of
some of the Canadiaa and American papers, that Lord Elgin
has been recalled from the Governor-Generalship of British
North America, and that he is succeeded by Lord Harris in
that office, is unfounded, or at least premature.—Timies.
It is stated that Sir gmerson Tennent, M.P., is
to be appointed to the office of Joint Secretary to the Board
of Trade, vacant by the decease of Mr. G. H. Porter.

SOUTH SEA COMPANY.—The quarterly general
court of this company was held yesterday at the establish-
ment in Threadneedle-street. Charles Franks. Esq., the
deputy-governor, took the chair. The following gentlemen
were then elected a committee of bye-laws; Thomas Ed-
wards, William Gaussen, Edward Goldsmid, Benjamin Harri-
son, Thomas Ponten, Thomas Poynder, and Claude George
Thornton, Esgrs. The balance of the company's bond debt
was stated to be as before, viz., 4,500/. The court then ad-
journed.

WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY.—It is pro-
posed to construct a railway from the South-Western Rail.
way at Wimbledon, passing through Merton, Morden, and
Mitcham, to the London and Brighton Railway at Croydon.
The length of the line is 51% miles, and the estimated cost
45,000/. The London and South-Western and the London
and Brighton Companies are to work the line, and guaran-
tee a minimum dividend of 4 per cent. on the cost of
construction.

BELGIUM.

The Clambers are adjourned to the 26th of Oc
ober.

The Prase makes the following remarks on the pre-
sent Ministerial crisis in Belgium :—" The session has
commenced badly for the Ministry. It may be re-
membered that it had made the re-election of M.
VERHAEGEN to the post of President of the Chamber
a Cabinet question. That gentleman has not been
re-elected ; or at least he was not so until a second
ballot bad taken place, and after the refusal of M.
DEL/MATE, a Liberal, but supported by the Catho-
lics, and named on the first ballot. After M. DELA-
HATE had refused, M. VARRAEGEN, when elected, re-
fused also. It appears almost impossible that the Mi-
nistry can be satisfied with a success so obtained. lie-
fore the ballot opened, M. CHARLES RoGIER declatoid
that the Ministry would immediate resign if X.
VERHAEGEN were not re-elected ; but that he should
not consider the Cabinet question to be settled by his
re-election, inasmuch as the existence of the Ministry
would be more seriously discussed when it should
give explanations on its policy. This was leaving a
door open to those who had not decided on the line
they would adopt, and who wished to be enlightened
by the discussion. In nominating the Ministerial
candidate, they would have given the Cabinet not a
Bill of Indemnity, but, as it were, a simple respite,
leaving the question pending; but in not nominating
him, the coalition majority, which appears to exist i❑
the Chamber of Representatives, intimated to the
Cabinet that it would not even listen to its explana-
tions. The nomination of M. VERHAEGEN on a
second ballot, and by a majority scarcely sufficient,
does not adequately compensate for the rudeness of
this proceeding."
Her Majesty Queen MARIE AMELIE, accompanied
by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, arrived at Termonde by
the Ostend Railway, at eleven o'clock on the 28th.
They were received on alighting by the King of the
BELGIANS, the Count DE FLANDRES, the Duke DE
BRABANT, and the Princess CHARLOTTE. The KING
had been informed by telegraphic dispatch of their
intended arrival, and went by special train to Ter-
monde to receive his august mother-in-law. The
royal party then all proceeded together by a train to
Ans, where his MAJESTY and family took leave of the
QUEEN and Prince DE JOINVILLE, and returned to
Laaken, while her MAJESTY and the Prince continued
their route to Aix-la-Chapelle, where they will pro-
ceed, without stopping, to Lausanne, in Switzerland.
They will stay with the Duchess of ORLEANS, who is
now sojourning there.

GERMAN Y.

There are three new cases of cholera reported in
Berlin from the 26th to the 27th.
In Posen on the 25th there were five new cases,
and three deaths. In Buk' the epidemic has ceased,
after sweeping off 105 persons of the 170 attacked.
In Elbing for the last few days only isolated cases
have occurred ; in the district also there is a decrease.
In Ortelsburg, Kiinigsberg, and Braunsburg the dis-
ease still prevails, but with abated force ; during the
month from the 25th of August to the 25th of Sep-
tember the mortality in all these three towns has
been above 50 per cent. of the persons attacked by
the disease. From the general tenor of the last re-
ports, it is hoped the epidemic has exhausted its
strength for the present season.
At Ostrowa, in the Duchy of Posen, four criminals
were beheaded on the 24th, in the court-yard of the
prison. They had been condemned for murder. The
death warrant having been read to them, they were
taken separately to the block, all traces of each exe-
cution being removed before another was led out. In
twenty minutes the executioner had severed the four
beads, each with a single blow of the axe—a dexterity
lauded by the journals, as it presents a contrast to a
scene which took place recently at Dresden, where
the instrument was the sword. At Ostrowa, the
execution was according to the Prussian law, in
private.
On the railroad from Berlin to Breslau an improved
expedient for signalling has been adopted worth trying
on lines where collisions are more likely to occur.
One of the conductors of each train carries a small
galvanic battery with him, that can be connected with
the wires of the line at any point, and a message sent
to the nearest station. As the method is simple it is
likely to come into general use.

RAPID IMPROVEMENTS.

" Can you tell me where is Victoria Park?" This is
not an unfrequent question to the footpad in the neigh-
bourhood of Hackney-road and Bethnal-green. The
East-enders have good cause of complaint for the delay
its forming the approaches to this park. Do, pray, Mr.
Editor, use your pen to help us to get these approaches
formed. The Consumption Hospital is in a forward
state, but if you want to get to it, the route is circuitous,
unless you are prepared to plunge through Spitalfields
and Bethnal-green! The extension of Hackney-road
has been promised for seven years past, at least. The
new street from London Docks to Shoreditch has been
in hand for ten years: one would suppose the property
near Shoreditch was very valuable, from the protracted
delay that has taken place in completing the outlet.
Whenever the street is completed it will be a great ad-
vantage to the east-end of the metropolis. The build-
ings recently set up on the south-east corner of Red
Lion-street, nart of the main street, are not very credit-
able to the Office of Woods, The buildings at the op-
posite corner of Commercial-street promised very dif-
ferently, and the parties who set up these buildings have
very reasonable ground of complaint. Among the.
various statistics that the Office of Woods publish in
their annual accounts, they do not furnish information
as to interest of money or lost rents on land lying
vacant year after year: this would be a sorry and a
large item!--Correspondent of the Builder.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 25th have been received.
The Madrid Gazette is surrounded with a black
border in honour of the Duke de BAYLEN. It con-
tains a decree of the QUEEN, ordering that his funeral
shall take place at the expense of the State in the
Church of Atocha, and that his sword shall be depo-
sited in the Museum of Artillery. The QUEEN, as
already stated, is to attend the funeral ceremony, and
a magnificent monument is to be erected to the me-
mory of the illustrious deceased. In an article on
him the Gazette says that he died poor, and that his
poverty was occasioned by his charity. His death, it
declares, is a national loss ; and it adds, that "he lived
a hero, and died a sairt." He was born at Madrid on
the 22d April, 1756, and his father was a commis-
sary of the army. His title passes to one of his great
nephews. The. poca says, that he had expressed a wish
to be interred without pomp. By his death and that
of WELLINGTON, the Viscount BERESFORD, the Duke
DE LA VITTORIA, the Marquis RODIL, the Duke DE
VALENCIA, and the Marquis DEL DEURO, are, with
the royal Princes, the only persons who now hold the
dignity of Captain General of the army. At the
funeral of the Duke DE BAYLEN, the Captains-Gene-
ral present at Madrid will bear the corners of the pall.
In consequence of the death of the Duke, the QUEEN
had determined to return at once to Madrid, and was
expected in the afternoon of the 25th.

OVERLAND MAIL

We have received by way of Trieste the following
telegraphic message in anticipation of the overland
mail :

TRIESTE, SEPT. 30.

" The Austrian Lloyd's steamer Egitto arrived
here yesterday, Sept. 29, at 9 P M., with advices from
Bombay to the Ist of September.
" The Governor. Ganeral returned to Calcutta on
the 6th of August.

" Commodore Lambert, accompanied by Captain
Rundall, of the Engineers, had gone up to Prome in
the Phlegethon steamer to reconnoitre; it was under-
stood that she would be speedily followed by other
vessels, and that Prome would be occupied by an ad-
vanced force, consisting of the 18th Royal Irish and
the 40th Native Infantry.

"It was also believed that a general advance would
be made as soon as four or five fresh regiments had
reached Rangoon.

"Money was abundant. Exchange on London,
28.0."

We have reason to believe that the statement of
some of the Canadian and American papers, that Lord Elgin
has been recalled from the Governor-Generalship of British
North America, and that he is succeeded by Lord Harris in
that office, is unfounded, or at least premature.-7'inzes.
It is stated that Sir Emerson Tennent, M.P., is
to be appointed to the office of Joint Secretary to the Board
of Trade, vacant by the decease of Mr. G. R. Porter.

SOUTH SEA COMPANY.—The quarterly general
court of this company was held yesterday at the establish-
ment in Threadneedle-street. Charles Franks, Esq., the
deputy-governor, took the chair. The following gentlemen
were then elected a committee of bye-laws; Thomas Ed-
wards, William Gaussen, Edward Goldsmid, Benjamin Harri-
son, Thomas Ponten, Thomas Poynder, and Claude George
Thornton, Esqrs. The balance of the company's bond debt
was stated to be as befora, viz., 4,500/. The court then ad-
journed.

WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY.—It is pro-
posed to construct a railway from the South-Western Rail.
way at Wimbledon, passing through Merton, Morden, and
Mitcham, to the London and Brighton Railway at Croydon.
The length of the line is 51/2 miles, and the estimated cost
45,000/. The London and booth-Western and the London
and Brighton Companies are t'o work the line, and guaran-
tee a minimum dividend of 4 per cent. on the cost of
construction.

BELGIUM.

The Chambers are adjourned to the 26th of Oc.
ober.

The Presse makes the following remarks on the pre-
sent Ministerial crisis in Belgium :—" The session has
commenced badly for the Ministry. It may be re-
membered that it had made the re-election of M.
VERHAEGEN to the post of President of the Chamber
a Cabinet question. That gentleman has not been
re-elected ; or at least he was not so until a second
ballot had taken place, and after the refusal of M.
DELAHATE, a Liberal, but supported by the Catho-
lics, and named on the first ballot. After M. DELA-
HATE had refused, M. VARHAECEN, when elected, re-
fused also. It appears almost impossible that the Mi-
nistry can be satisfied with a success so obtained. Be-
fore the ballot opened, M. CHARLES RoGIER declaaed
that the Ministry would immediate resign if M.
VERHAEGEN were not re-elected ; but that he should
not consider the Cabinet question to be settled by his
re-election, inasmuch as the existence of the Ministry
would be more seriously discussed when it should
give explanations on its policy. This was leaving a
door open to those who had not decided on the line
they would adopt, and who wished to be enlightened
by the discussion. In nominating the Ministerial
candidate, they would have given the Cabinet not a
Bill of Indemnity, but, as it were, a simple respite,
leaving the question pending; but in not nominating
him, the coalition majority, which appears to exist in
the Chamber of Representatives, intimated to the
Cabinet that it would not even listen to its explana-
tions. The nomination of M. VERMAEGEN on a
second ballot, and by a majority scarcely sufficient,
does not adequately compensate for the ruder_,ess of
this proceeding."
Her Majesty Queen MARIE AMELIE, accompanied
by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, arrived at Termonde by
the Ostend Railway, at eleven o'clock on the 28th.
They were received on alighting by the King of the
BELGIANS, the Count DE FLANDIIES, the Duke DE
BRABANT, and the Princess CHARLOTTE. The KING
had been informed by telegraphic dispatch of their
intended arrival, and went by special train to Ter-
monde to receive his august mother-in-law. The
royal party then all proceeded together by a train to
Ans, where his MAJESTY and family took leave of the
QUEEN and Prince DE JOINVILLE, and returned to
Laaken, while her MAJESTY and the Prince continued
their route to Aix-hi-Chapelle, where they will pro-
ceed, without stopping, to Lausanne, in Switzerland.
They will stay with the Duchess of ORLEANS, who is
now sojourning there.

FRAN CE.
In the Constitutionnel we find a long article on the
probable advantages of the penal settlement of
Guyana. Our contemporary, after showing the great
obstacles which opposed the success of the convict
settlement of New South Wales, proceeds thus :-
44 The great and useful enterprise which the Govern-
ment is attempting at Cayenne is placed under muca
better conditions. It is, in the first place, based on a
very old nucleus of colonization. Although it has never
been able to acquire any great extension, the colony of
French Guyana is peopled by nearly 10,000 individuals,
of whom from 1,000 to 2,000 are whites. It is a centre
of civilization, the neighbourhood of which will soften
for the convicts the sufferings of an exile which is other-
wise very mild. The facility and promptitude of com-
munication with the mother-country is another ground
of security for the new colony. Botany Bay, situated at
the antipodes of Europe, is at a distance of nearly 4,000
leagues. Compared to Botany Bay, Cayenne adjoins
Europe; the means of communication are prompt and
sure, and all around the new establishment are rich coun-
tries and civilized people. At Botany Bay it was necessary
from the first to have recourse to the most rigoroas repres-
sion; for it would have been otherwise impossible to keep
under a population of that character with a very small
garrison. The disciplinary regime to which our convicts
are subjected is, on the contrary, calculated to improve
their moral state. The Government is desirous to open
to them the path of rehabilitation, and everything which
can tend to degrade them in their own eyes will be most
carefully avoided. Good conduct and sincere repentance
will be treated with kindness, and it is thus that the
colony will take root, and become by degrees improved
and flourishing.'
A second municipal election took place on Sunday
last in various towns in which the insufficiency of
voters rendered the first. election invalid. At Macon
and Tarare, both democratic places, the candidates of
the Government, were nominated ; and at Nantes
forty-five Government candidates out of forty-seven
were chosen. At Roanne on the contrary all the op-
position list passed, and in it is the name of M.
Brizon,
a political offender condemned to forced resi-
dence in that town.
The Governor-General of Algeria, in order that
the colony should not be backward in the expression
of its feelings towards the Prince President, ap-
pointed a deputation to proceed to Marseilles,
in order to congratulate him on his arrival.
The deputation consisted of General Pelis-
sier, commandant of the province of Oran, M.
Lacombe, secretary-general of the Government,
Lechene, mayor of Algiers, M. Canton, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, Baron de Vialar, M.
Bouly de la Sapie, and M. Morin, colonists in the
department of Algiers. Captain Appert, one of the
aides-de• camp of the Governor-General, has accompa-
nied the deputation.
