ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT.
SOUTHAMPTON,
WEDNESDAY
_ _

Tho United States mail steam-ship Humboldt, Cap-
D. Lines, has arrived off Cowes, after a passage of
eleven days from New York, the quickest yet made by
this line. She brings specie value 400,000 dolls. for
Havre, and 306,600 dolls. for London; 143 passengers
for Havre and a few for Southampton. The Great 116-
tain sailed from New York on the sth inst., the same
day as the Humboldt.
The Democratic Convention had been in session for
four days at-Baltimore, but no nomination had yet been
made; 33 ballotings had also taken place. General Casa
was thought to have the first chance.

The ad—vices from Guayaquil to the Ist of May state
that General Flores had not yet attacked Ecuador, but
was preparing to commence active operations. The Go-
vernment had made extensive preparations to repel the
attack, and the issue was very doubtful. It is stated
that some of Flores' men were deserting him. One
British and one American ship-of-war were at Guaya-
quil, and bad offered their services to the Ecuador Go-
vernment. Ecuador was in a disturbed state, and war
was likely to be declared against Peru, the President
declaring in a proclamation that after defeating Flores
he would march to inflict exemplary punishment on
Peru. •

The steam-ship. Lima arrived at Panama on the 18th
ult., with 600,000 dolls, in specie, destined for England..

beginning to be.more settled and substantial, and wages
approximating more closely to the rates current in the
Atlantic States. A Bill to exclude the Chinese had ex-
cited great discussion in the Legislature. The arriVals
of persons from all parts of thq world at San Francisco
were at the ascertained rate of 84,000 per annum; 2,500
had arrived from China in April. Some miners! at
Marysville, had met and passed resolutions that no
Chinese should hold any mining claim after the -Ist
of May.
At New York there were no material alteratiocs in
the money and stock markets. Good stocks were in re-
quest for investment by home and European capitalists,
but speculative stocks were neglected. There was need

HAYMARICET THEATRE.
Mr. Buckstone'a benefit last evenicg was signalised
by the production of a five act comedy from his own
pen, entitled Tiie Foundlings, and partly. compiled from
a French drama, 'which again was founded on Marryatt's
well-kc"n novel, Japhet in Search of a Father." The
plot is briefly this:—Two foundlings, Edward Jackson
and Timothy Dixon, found together in a basket, grow
up very different individuals—the first becoming a hard-
working be/lister, the secoud an idle, good-hearted ,
scapegrace, whose only pursuit is attempting, to find out
the parentage of his friend the barrister, whom he looks
upon as a brother, but still,
in a comic spirit of self-de-
preciation, is quite certain of finding him out to be the
stolen heir of a lord—while ha is indignant at the notion
of such good luck fallinc to himself. At length,
by means of an advertisement, ho gain° a clue
in an introduction to an admirably conceived
personege, Moleskin, who is .a returned and
reformed convict, having given up rascality, because,
looking philosophically at it, he fiuds it does not pay,
and who tells the story of his, own villanies as if they
were the most praisevvorthy actions in the world. This
Moleskin, for a bribe—the sureeto bo obtained by Dixon
by submitting his leg to the bite of a mad, dog in order
to test the specific of a medical enthusiast—reveals to
Dixon that he is the stoleu heir of a noble house, while
the barrister is merely the son of an ignoble accomplice
of his (men. Dixon-is horrified at the news of his eleva-
tion, and engages Moleskin to give his evidence in favour
of the barrister instead of him. Now the former is be-
trothed to Esther, the apparent niece of Tetra. Armitage,
one of his clients. The real relationship between the
ladies, however—that of mother and daughter—is only
revealed upon the discovery of a long-lost marriage cer-
tificate, which enables the mamma to proclaim it. The
barrister's pretended noble birth is revealed at the
same time, and the pair are horrified at finding
themselves half brother and sister. Now comes
Dixon's display of devotion. Rather than thit
his companion of the basket should bo condemned
to celibacy, he calls upon Moleskin to proclaim the truth,
and magnanimously consents to be a lord in the cause of.
friendship. AU this seems slight and bare enough, taut
it comes out rereecffectively in the acting. The doctor,
with his mad dog, makes no little fan, and there is some-
good equivoque when Buckstone mysteriously interro-
gates the mother of the quasi niece upon the birth of
the latter-the gentleman all the while thinking of the
barrister, the lady of her daughter. The character of
Moleskin. too, is richly comic, and Keeley did it full
justice. His costume of rusty black, with high-lows
brushed to the extreme of polish, and baggy but decent
gloves, and the snuffle and twang with which he ad-
dresses his " cho-ristian friend," were all perfect; nor less
se was the stolid, unctuous impudence with which

they let the fact escape, that in which, o

Sir Robert Peel is, that he did not, when in office, carry
out the principles he professed when in opposition. To
' ihow• that we do not misrepresent them, let ns quote a
whole paragraph from the oaty remaining Ve sl-113'
journal, as we find it in yesterday's oolunons. It rue;
thus:— • - ' ' - : .

Church. It was Sir Robert Peel' who, when teeeivieg a
deputation from the Church of Scotland, in gareh, 1888,
said:--"It is impossible to look at the progress Popery
is now making, and the efforts it is
putting forth, without
anxiety and alarm. The re-establishmeet of the order
of the Jesuits, and the increase of popish chapels
and seminariesin our own ceuntry, show [l5 too
clearly what we have to dread. And lam . Per-
suaded that we shall, era long, see a etrueg/e arise, in which
we shall again have to deter Mine the question whether
Popery or Protestantism is to have the ascendancy."
-
Who that listened to these words could have imagined
that this same statesman, when raised to
Wer, would
first, by the Charitable Trusts Bill, give to Romish Pre-
lutes a legal rank and standing in Ireland, and theue by
the Maynooth Endowment Act, would enlarge and extend
those " Popish seminaries," which he had pretended to
dread ? In like manner it was Sir Robert Peel who; lb

And it was the same Sir Robert Peel who, in four Yi,irs
after, cpropOsed a total repeal of the corn-lawa without
the equivalent of any duty whatever. And lastly,
the Globe says truly, that he
served the Chuech
as he served .all others. In 1840 .he propoSed
to vote an address to the Queen, pledging Parlia-
ment• to provide, out of . the Public . revenues,

.
Church to borrow some of her own money! And, as Pie
Globe says, after having, in 1839, fought desperately
against the Lansdowne and Shuttleworth schemes; of
education, he took office in 1841, and never
slightest change in the planslwhich he had previotislY
condernned! Such was Sir Robert Peel. It did not ap-
