THE SUN,

AMERICAN NEWS.

The acivices from New York this week contain little
of interest. The business iu the stockmarket was
large, and the abundance of money having still further
increased, the resumption of specie exportations to
England was looked upon by the bankers with satisfac-
tion rather than otherwise. The total receipts of
gold from California by the fortnightly steamers
had been 350,0001., while the amount now shipped
to England was only 115,0004 The internal
business of the country was very active, and the
receipts on the various lines of railway were larger than
those of the corresponding season of any previous year.
Much party feeling had been excited by a decision of
the High Court of Appeals against the legality of an
issue of 1,500,000 dollars stock, which took place in
August last, tor the purpose of widening the Erie
Canal. The surplus tolls of the canal were to be
pledged for its redemption, but it was contended at
the time that by the constitution of the State of New
York no such pledge could be given, the power of the
Commissioners being limited to the appropriation of
funds actually in band. The stock was to bear 6 per
cent. interest, and to be redeemable in 1861, and it was
taken at an average premium of 1 per cent. Its doubtful
nature, however, was long ago pointed out, and it is
believed that none was purchased on this side. The
money will be refunded to the subscribers, who will
lose nothing but interest and premium, and the de-
cision of the Court is regarded by sound business
people with considerable satisfaction. The whole
amount intended to have been raised was not leas
than 11,000,600 dolls., and the chagrin therefore of
those who had promoted the affair with the hope of get-
ting contracts is very severe. The newspapers contain
a list of nine new consular appointments by the Go-
vernment at Washibgton, among which are Mr. F. B.
Ogden, for Manchester, and Mr. J. A. Henriques,
for Melbourne, Australia. The mining intelligence
from California comprises the discovery of seve-
ral new beds, but nothing of an unusual character.
The disappointment with regard to the quartz ope-
rations appears to have arisen more from the
workers having wasted their money in cheap machinery
than from any other cause. The superintendent of the
Nouveau Monde Company had commenced a negotia-
tion for purchasing the works and mining property of
the Merced Company in the Bear Valley, Mariposa
county, where he considered the veins to be of a favour-
able character.— 7 imes.

SADLER'S WELLS.

The vocalists of Drury-lane have migrated to
Sldler's Wells Theatre, where, under the rule of Miss
P. Horton, they propose to play a round of popular
operas. The experiment began last night with the
English version of the Sonnambula, which was cre-
ditably
,embodied by Miss Louisa Pyne, Mr. W.
Harrison, and Mr. Whitworth—a company of artists
of very superior qualifications, and who we regret to
see thus driven into a secluded theatre. The singing
-
last night, we need hardly observe, was exceedingly
good. Miss Louisa Pyne, whose facility ripens with
her experienc,
was in her best voice, and warbled the
melodic strains of Amine with a skill and beauty to
which we have had but few parallels on the English
stage. She was rapturously encored in the last aria.
Mr. H. Whitworth made his first appearance at this
theatre in the character of Count Rodulph, which he
interpreted
with vigour and consistency, while his
singing drew down repeated applause. Mr.
W. Harrison effectively took the part of Elvino,
and Miss Julia Bleaden that of Lisa. The chorus
and orchestra are not large, and are therefore
incapable of giving a
perfectly satisfactory rendering
of operatic music, but their numbers are suited to the
size and general appointments of the theatre, and
their performances, so far as they go, are commend.
able. La Sonnambula was succeeded by the little
burietta of Midas, in which Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as
Apollo, sang some comic airs with great effect. Oa
the whole, we heartily wish success to this unassum-
ing but spirited and praiseworthy effort of Miss
Horton, and we trust that the list of popular pieces
announced by the management will continue to draw
as crowded houses as that which assembled last even-
ing on the occasion of the first essay at English
opera.

AL MARIONETTE THEATRE.
Mr. Albany Brown is driving a flourishing business
at this most elegant little place of recreation. The
inimitable puppets had a far share of holiday patronage
yesterday. There was novelty in the shape of a new
drama of the burlesque order, entitled Punch a la Ro-
maine; or, a Classical Education. There is an in
duc!ion smartly written, in which the ghost of Dr.
Johnson takes part in a punning conversation with
Punch and other personages, and this is followed by
a travestie pleasantly ludicrous of the story of Vir-
ginius and bis daughter. The drama was well acted
by the lignean artistes, and well received by the
audience. The ebony performers were bailed
with rapture on their re-appearance as their clever-
ne6s deserves, and the Italian pantomime, Il Nano del
TVagio, is quite a marvel of puppet agility and
saltatorial grace. The exceedingly clever artist who
paints the scenery and contrives the figures, Signor
Brigaldi, deserves that his name should be specially
mentioned ; for both as artist and machinist his talent
is remarkable. The performances concluded with the
grand spectacle of Aladdin.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette.ot the 26th contains a royal
decree nominating a special commission to examine
and revise the regulations respecting theatres and
public spectacles.
A letter states that Lord HOWDEN had returned to
Madrid from his excursion in Andalusia, and had left
for Aranjutz to take leave of th. KING previous to
setting out for England on leav, of absence, the
First Secretary of Legation, Mr. OTWAY, to act as
Charge d'Affaires until his return. The letter adds :
—" The proposed reforms in the organic laws are
abandoned ; but some political men are strong!y of
opinion that they are only postponed."
A letter in the Espana, from Cadiz, announces the
arrival there of a steamer from the Havannah, with
accounts to the 30th ult. At that date, the island
enjoyed perfect tranquillity. The committee of the
patriotic subscription for rewards and succour for
services rendered to the Government, in the invasion
of LOPEZ, have distributed to the wounded and to the
heirs of the persons who were killed, 149,184 dollars
(745,905 f.)
The Queen of SPAIN has just created a new deco..
ration for ladies. It is to be called the Medal Cross
of Queen Labelle, it is in enamelled gold, and orna-
mented with brilliants. On days of ceremony it will
be worn suspended round the neck by a red ribbon,
and on ordinary days it will be attached to the left
shoulder with a small ribbon of the same colour.

shown that unless they protected their own interests,
they would not be protected by the public, for the public

try) suggests to his master that it is but a snare to
sell him to the Devil, and seizing the wand, he
touches the rock, which closes,—a capital scream
is heard, and thus the fiend is got rid of, and the
" buFiness" of the story begins in good earnest.
The tableau which follows, descibed as the Brazen
Pillar on the Seven Roads, with the departure of
St. George for Egypt, and " a grand old English
cavalcade," is a very admirably-managed affair,
showing "how the noble knight St. George and his
six champions did part at the Brazen Pillar, and each
take a separate road in quest of adventures." The
first encounter with the dragon in "the Dragon's
Haunt" was good, and the encounter was well
managed. The three days' fight was portrayed
with a daring sufficient to make many persons highly
nervous. The triumphal entree of St. George and the
other champions into the city and temple of Memphis,
preparatory to St. George's nuptials, with the
triumphal chariots, banners, emblems, Egyptian and
Cbristian cavalry, and palanquins of grandeur,
formed a tableau worthy of the days of Ducrow ; and
"
can we offer a higher meed of praise ? Mr. Batty,
in this case, regarding the affair, of course as a spec-
tack, has been very successful ; and the effort he has
made is one which well deserves public patronage.
The scenes in the circle followed, and the perform-
ances concluded with the farce of The Mayor of
Garrett. The gallery was crowded to suffocation at
one rush ; the pit was well filled and crowded ,at half
price, and the gods were noisy, bat very good-
humoured. ~

SURREY THEATRE.

The opera season, under the direction of Miss
Romer, was inaugurated last evening in a most aus-
picious manner. At the rising of the curtain there
was not a vacant seat in the house, and many were
disappointed of admittance. The opening opera was
Cinderella, Mr. -Lacy's adaptation of La Cenerentola,
supported by Miss Romer, the Misses Cloveney, Mrs.
Weiss, Travers, Borrani, H. Corp, and Kuchler • the
orchestra under the masterly direction of Her deyer
Lutz. The warmest greeting was bestowed on each fa-
vourite artist, and there was no lack of deserved ap-
plause throughout. Mr. Travers in the scene "Sweet
Remembrance," and Miss Romer in the celebrated
finale, were enthusiastically encored. Borrani sang
and acted as Dandini with admirable spirit, and
was capital. H. Widdioombe person

National Anthem was sung by the strength of the
company, which, we are happy to observe, embraces
Miss Poole, and the last verse was so splendidly
given by Miss Romer, as to elicit the most ear-split-
ting encore that ever distracted us even at the Surrey,
where manifestations of approval are Wont to be de•
livered with stunning emphasis. The afterpiece was
a " new, original, melodramatic, Oriental spectacle,"
entitled The Secret Pass; or, The Torrent of the
Ghaur-e-ghol, a production of the. inexhaustible Fitz-
ball. It is founded on the well known novel of
The Khan's Tale," and 'is full of romantic situa-
tions and improving effects. Mr. T. Mead, Mr. A.
Stirling, and Mr. EL Widdicombe, are allotted the
prominent parts, which are consequently filled in the
manner the most satisfactory. It was received with
perfect approbation. The entire entertainments went
off to the unalloyed enjoyment of the attentive and
delighted multitude.

RECRUITING IN POLITICS.

of, posted up in the vicinity, if not on the very walls

to the occupation ; in the back-ground are tents,
eeft~iand heaps of baggage, upon which repose
the forms, apparently indifferent as to the result of
m_tellcounter. How far a common trooper realises this
B;4aaomedan paradise in an Indian campaign, we need

forced marches, fever and the enemy, he must often

Power, as it came out in Tuesday's debate. So long
i.the Protectionists were recruiting their forces in six
wrs of opposition, nothing was too extravaent, too
id, or luscious for the passions of the agricultural
,greenhorns." All the resources of finance were ex-
zed to their view. Splendid schemes of protection
soothe
their understanding, while their hearts were
BCiecl with the hope of fiscal remissions. Once re-
red to power, they were to see Cobden and Bright,
ad the rest of the foe, run through as easily as Sikhs
but
Burmese upon paper ; and they had nothing to do
° divide the spoil. Such were the golden promises
"exhibited in the congenial sphere of the hustings, the
'carket-table and the friendly press.—Times.

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 10th states that the
agents of a French company have offered the Papal
Government 150 millions of francs for the comple-
tion of the railway lines projected in the Pontificial
States, and that Cardinal Antonelli has taken cer-
tain surveys of a French engineer into serious con-

GREECE.
The journals state that the reception given in
the Piraeus to King Otho was of a very magnificent
character. The protocol of London relative to the
succession to the Throne was taken to Athens by
three couriers, each of whom took a separate route.
One of them has returned to London with a preci-
pitation which has appeared singular. The Greek
Government sent its assent to the protocol by the
ordinary French steamer. Nothing positive is
known of the contents of the protocol.

MARYLEBONE FREE LIBRARY.—A meeting was held
at the Marylebone Court-house yesterday to take into
consideration the best means of establishing a free
library for the use of the labouring classes in that dis-
trict, when the following resoluutions were egreed to :-
Ist. "That it is peculiar proper and desirable that this
great and populous district, comprehending within its
population some of the most distinguished and wealthy
of the nation, together with many whose means are
limited and whose time is circumscribed, should set an
example of contributing to the intellectual and moral
cultivation of the people, by the establishment of a Free
Library for the improvement of the working classes."
2nd. "That in the opinion of this meeting, the estab-
lishment of a public library, including a lending library
of wholesOme and improving books, accessible and
free 'to all, may be, under the Divine blessing;
a means of promoting in no small measure - the
happiness, • comfort, and prosperity of the peo-
ple, by affording them opportunities of improve-
ment and enjoyment, free from gross and seri-
sual impurities, and by contributing to make their
homes what they ought to be—the abodes of order and
contentment, 'of cheerful piety, and of intellectual and
spiritual improvement ;" and thirdly, "that, recognizing
the principle that it is mainly by the diffusion ofSound
education that the prosperity of England'is to be best
secured, this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion
to promote this effort to educate and invigorate. the
minds of the population, and in the full •assurance that
the industrious classes, so instinct witlo intelligence,
are prepared to profit by the opportunities such a libiary
would afford, this meeting hereby calls on them to aid
an object devised specially for their advantage, and cal-.
culated so materially to promote their elevation and
welt-being."
A WELLINGTON CUP.—It would be .a
graceful act in
the Jockey Club if they were to call a meeting imme-
diately, and establish a noble stake, to be called either
the Wellington Cup, or the Wellington Stakes. We are
sure that the entire sporting community would support
it, and if the Jockey Club decline to adopt the sugges-
tion, we trust either Mr. Topham or Mr. Darling will
take it up.—Racing Times.
THE MYSTERIES OP SPECIAL PLEADING.--In a cele-
brated suit between two litigious washerwomen, touch-
ing a missing wash-tub, three pleas were, put in by the
defendant—first, that she had lost it ; secondly, that she
had returned it; thirdly, that she had never had it.

BELGIUM.

We read in the Independance of Brussels :—" The
Central Section of the Budget of Foreign Affairs
having demanded from the minister some informa-
tion as to the state of the commercial negotiations,
and M. de Brouckere having replied that he had
no explanation to give, some persons have conclu-
ded from this reply, that for the present, at least,
there was no idea of any further commercial nego-
tiations between the two countries. This is an
error : the reply of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
had no suchl signification : it merely meant to say
that the Cabinet thought it proper to preserve the
most absolute silence on what is said and what is
done on the subject of the commercial relations of
Belgium with France, for it is a question which
cannot be, and is not, neglected."

TESTIMONIAL TO LORD RAGLAN.

There is a strong and general wish entertained in
inilitary circles, to present Lord Raglan with some sub-
stantial token of gratitude and affectionate esteem. For
nearly forty years Lord Fitzroy Somerset was the Duke
of Wellington's confidential adviser and assistant in all
Matters connected with military organisation and govern-
ment. There is, perhaps, no office which requires for
its successful and satisfactory discharge a greater com-
bination of tact, firmness, urbanity, and sound judgment :
no Position in which, from its inherent nature, it is more
difficult to observe rigid justice, and at the same time
to avoid giving personal offence. But it may be safely
afarmed, that amongst the thousands of individuals with
'whom Lord Raglan has had to deal in his professional
and official capacity, he has had the signal good fortune
of everywhere making friends, and perhaps never making
.'l,ll enemy. These facts are known and appreciated in
the British army. It appears that an obstacle of
Professional etiquette intervenes to prevent a body of
military men from formally initiating an expression of
thanks nks or approbation in reference to the official conduct
of any individual. But if a movement of the kind be
have
on foot by civilians (and amongst the numbers who
uave experienced Lord Raglan's zeal, kindness, and
4oility, there cannot be wanting those who will act with
cheerfulness and energy in the matter), military men
(n, with perfect propriety, contribute their aid towards
thel accomplishment of the generous design. A number
of distinguished persons, including the Dukes of Rutland
and Richmond, the Earl of Ellesmere, &c., have already
;pressed their cordial conly-rence. The Duke of
Richmond has consented to take the chair, on an early
cdal, at a meeting to be held for the purpose of giving
Practical embodiment to the plan, and there appears to
be little doubt that the result will be worthily accordant
pith the eminent merits of the amiable and distinguished
aeran
whom those who know him best are most
4nzions to honour.

ILLNESS of Mn. DISBAELI.—We exceedingly regret
to learn that though Mr. Disraeli'is attending, as usual,
both to his official and legislative duties, the state of his
health is such as to cause no small uneasiness to his
friends. We understand that at a consultation of his
medical advisers, held yesterday morning,tit was agreed
to impress upon the Right Hon. Gentleman the absolute
necessity of comparative cessation from that close and
continuous application which he has been of late giving
to his ministerial and Parliamentary duties.--/Iforning
Advertiser.

NEVER DO THINGS BY HALVES.—The leading Ministe-
rial print this morning had no less than six distinct and
separate leading articles, directed to the debate of Tues-
day night.

ST. DOMINGO.—The Government gazette of St. Do-
mino.° (El Eco deg Ozama) of the 12th ult. refers to the
advertisement lately put forward in England for a loan
of 750,0001. for that Republic, and states that the pro-
posal was never authorised in the slightest degree. It
adds that the account given of the resources of the
country had at the time been greatly exaggerated, while
the statement was also incorrect of its being at peace
with its neighbours.

A letter from Rome of the 10th states that the

GREECE.

The journals state that the reception given in

character. The protocol of London relative to the
succession to the Throne was taken to Athens by
three couriers, each of whom took a separate route.
One of them has returned to London with a preci-

Government sent its assent to the protocol by the
Ordinary French steamer. Nothing positive is

GOLD ARRIVALS.

Within a few days, more than £330,000 worth of Gold has ar-
rivel—the Middleton is on her passage with £lOO,OOO worth, a
proof that Emigrants are successful. Are they comfortable? Some
are not from the unsuitability of their Outfits, purchased at a high
rate from inexperienced Outfitters, but those who have obtained
their Outfits at F. MOSES and SON'S Establishment or its
Branches, are in possession of advantages the envy of their com-
panions and highly gratifying to themselves. The same goods are
still supplied, the same low prices are still charged, the same con-
veniences are still presented by E. MOSES and SON, who keep a
separate Department for Outfitting, and supply a full List of Outfits

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the came concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

MARYLEBONE FREE LIBRARY.—A meeting was held
at the Marylebone Court-house yesterday to take into
consideration the best means of establishing a free
library for the use of the labouring classes in that dis-
trict, when the following resoluutions were egreed to :-
Ist. "That it is peculiar proper and desirable that this
great and populous district, comprehending within its
population some of the most distinguished and wealthy
of the nation, together with many whose means are
limited and whose time is circumscribed, should set an
example of contributing to the intellectual and moral
cultivation of the people, by the establishment of a Free
Library for the improvement of the working classes."
2nd. "That in the opinion of this meeting, the estab-
lishment of a public library, including a lending library
of wholesome and improving books, accessible and
free to all, may be, under the Divine blessing,
a means of promoting in no small measure the
happiness, comfort, and prosperity of the peo-
ple, by affording them opportunities of improve-
ment and enjoyment, free from gross and sen-
sual impurities, and by contributing to make
their
homes what they ought to be—the abodes of order and
contentment, of cheerful piety, and of intellectual and
spiritual improvement ;" and thirdly, "that, recognizing
the principle that It is mainly by the diffusion of sound
education that the prosperity of England is to be best
secured, this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion
to promote this effort to educate and invigorate the
minds of the population, and in the full assurance that
the industrious classes, so instinct with intelligence,
are prepared to profit by the opportunities such a library
would afford, this meeting hereby calls on them to aid
an object devised specially for their advantage, and cal-
culated so materially to promote their elevation and
well-being."ArgN •

A WELLINGTON CUP.—It would be a graceful act in
the Jockey Club if they were to call a meeting imme-
diately, and establish a noble stake, to be called either
the Wellington Cup, or the Wellington Stakes. We are
sure that the entire sporting community would support
it, and if the Jockey Club decline to adopt the sugges-
tion, we trust either Mr. Topham or Mr. Dorling will
take it up.—Racing Times.
THE MYSTERIES OF SPECIAL PLEADING.—In a cele-
brated suit between two litigious washerwomen, touch-
ing a missing wash-tub, three pleas were put in by the
defendant—first, that she had lost it ; secondly, that she
had returned it; thirdly, that oho had never had it,
