SURREY THEATRE.

Mr. Sam. Cowell, of comic fame, takes a benefit at
this theatre on Thursday evening next, the performances
being of a varied and highly attractive character. First
of all comes Rob Roy, in which Mr. Leigh Murray and
Miss Fanny Hughes fill the principal parts; and then a
Concert, with the renowned Bruton, Tom Mathews,
Herr Jongmans, and the beneficiare himself, who, arnotg
other comic conga, will favour the audience with those
unequalled ditties, " Billy Barlow" and " The Eat-
catcher's Daughter." Later in the evening Tom Barry
will make his first appearance since his return from Aus-
tralia as Doctor O'Toole in The Irish. Tutor, and Mr.
Flexmore and Madlle. Auriol will give one of their most
brilliant dances. The whole is to conclude with that
best of English farces, Box and Cox, those worthies
being respectively enacted by Harry Widdicome and
Sam Cowell. The bill of fare is excellently calculated to
" draw," for a better entertainment has seldom, if ever,
been put forth at the Surrey side of the water. The
benefit takes places under the immediate patronage of
the Earl of Strathmore, Sir George Wombwell, and Mr.
Villebois.

on the 1 ith Juno following was made perpetual, against Joseph
Franklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou-

ing, secure an election ; Count Eberhard zu Stol-
berg-Wernigerode was elected First Vice-Presi-
dent, and Herr von Duesberg Second Vice-Presi-
dent.
A letter from Berlin, of the 7th, says :—" The
Russian ambassador had to-day a private audience
of the King, to present an autograph letter from
the Emperor Alexander, announcing the betrothal
of the Grand Duke Nicholas. The epizootic dis-
ease, which had broken out amongst the cattle in
Prussian Poland, still causes commercial relations
to be suspended with that country. It has been
finally found necessary to abandon proceedings for
the taking of the letters of M. de Gerlach and M.
Niebuhr, the penal laws containing no enactment
applicable to the case. In consequence of the affair,
no more of the telegraphic despatches known as the
Gortschakoff despatches' are now sent from St.
Petersburg. The representatives of most of the
States have aiready arrived for the conference of the
States of the Zollverein, which is to commence on
the 12th."

Samuel Brown, Esq., Actuary.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, this Company now offers to future insurers Four-fifths of
the Profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a Low Rate of Premium
without participation of Profits.
The next division of Profits will be declared in June, 1860, when
all participating Policies which shall have subsisted at least one year
at Christmas, 1859, will be allowed to share in the Profits.
At the five divisions of Profits made by this Company, the total
reversionary Bonuses added to the Policies have ezpeeded 913,0001.
At Christmas last the Assuran,es in force amounted to upwards
of 4,240,000/. ; the Income from the Life Branch in 1854 was more
than 200,000/. ; and the Life Assurance Fund (Independent of the
Guarantee Capital) exceeded 1,700,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The Extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
INVALID LIVES.---Persons who are not in such sound health as
would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums,
may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.
ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES.—Written Notices of, received
qnd registered. •
Medical fees paid by the Company, and no charge will be made for
Policy Stamps.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.—lnsurances effected upon every descrip-
tion of property, at moderate rates.

(Fromm Galignani's Messenger.)

Extracts of articles from the peace-inspired jour-
nals of London occupy the columns of the Paris
papers, to the prejudice of any original comments
which might illustrate the French view of the pre-
sent political position. It must be admitted that
the principal organs of the French press have
already published their opinions on the probability
of the re-establishment of pacific relations with
Russia ; and whilst uniting in desiring that result,
the majority has not hesitated to questionthe possi-
bility of its being attained in face of the continued
hostile attitude of the Czar. The Constitutionnel
alone contains a political article of which, notwith-
standing its discursive character, we extract the
following passages :
" The position of affairs cannot possibly remain sta-
tionary. A peace must be concluded before the com-
mencement of another campaign, or the wax will be
developed to a terrible extent, and pushed with greater
vigour. It has been falsely asserted that the effective of
the French troops, who are to winter in the Crimea, has
been reduced. This is an error. The soldiers returning
from the East had been already replaced, and whole
divisions were on the road to Constantinople before the
Imperial Guard had quitted Sebastopol. . . Some
London journals have pushed matters even further.
They have accused Marshal Pelissier of having volun-
tarily lost the fruits of his brilliant victory of the Bth
September in remaining inactive. This is ingratitude.
Before criticising a conduct, the wisdom of which they
can not appreciate, those journals should remember that
the result and success of the last campaign are due to
Marshal relissier. We may, however, remain assured
that when the proper time has arrived, Marshal Pelissier
will not wait for the exhortations of the European press;
and we may judge by the energy and boldness of his
former enterprises how completely their reproaches are
unmerited. France and England do not dream of dis-
continuing hostilities, nor diminishing their forces; they
have but one aim : that is to bring the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg to a satisfactory and lasting peace ; but in
order to attain that aim, they have only one idea,
namely, to redouble their efforts, in order to crush with
one blow the resistance of Russia to the will of Europe.
If the voice of reason is not listened to by the Emperor
Alexander, Cronstadt will speedily share the fate of
Sebastopol, and the Baltic will witness the fall of Rus-
sian power, already destroyed in the Black Sea."

TILE BAL MASQUE AT DRURY-LANE

TBEATRE.

To-morrow evening Drury-lane Theatre will present a
brilliant scene. For some time past Mr. Smith has
been making arrangements to give a grand Bal Masque
at a reasonable price of admission, and to-morrow even-
ing is fixed for the purpose. To render the bal attrac-
tive no expense has been spared, and the whole of the
arrangements are on a scale of magnificence never
before attempted. The stage and pit will be converted
into a superb salon de danse 400 feet in length, embel-
lished and decorated with illuminated bowers, and
thousands of variegated lamps ; and a number of masters
of the ceremonies have been appointed, in order that
the votaries of Terpsichore may not be interfered with.
The greatest care has been taken to prevent the incon-
venience arising from overcrowding the salon ; and, from
all accounts, a delightful evening's amusement may bo
anticipated.

The demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at a decline in the
qlotations of 2d per Blbs. Amongst the stock were 210
oxen from Spain via Southampton. The numbers of sheep
wore very moderate, and there was a fair inquiry for
them at full prices. Calves were in moderate supply, and
sluggish request, at barely the late:advance in the quota-
tions. In the value of pigs no change took place.

THE HINIALAYA.

The Himalaya having disembarked all her sickly
freight, hauled off from Portsmouth dockyard jetty yes-
terday, and will proceed to Southampton to refit. Those
rick and wounded not ordered to be accommodated at
Portsmouth Garrison Hospital left by railway yester-
day for the invalid depot at Chatham. Some horses
were landed from the Himalaya yesterday, said to be
the property of General Sir Do Lacy Evans. They
looked in a miserable and jaded condition. The
Himalaya is discharging, by means of her own crew,
her obsolete stores into a hulk in Portsmouth harbour,
and will not get off to Southampton before to-morrow.
She is naturally an object,ef much interest in the port,
and it is thought probable that her Majesty may go on
board her to day, en route from Gosport to Osborne,
although the ship is not in th© beet plight for such a
visit.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

There are numerous piles of the wooden barracks for
the troops in the Crimea still on the jetty at Pdrtsmouth
dockyard, waiting the means of conveyance.
Three thousand blankets have been forwarded from
the Ordnance stores to Cork, to be taken by the St.
Jean d'Acre to the Crimea for the use of the troops.
Within the last day or two many hundred of packages
of free gifts for the army in the Crimea, as well as for
the hospital at Scutari, have been shipped on board the
East Anglian and Harlequin ; but the donors of these
liberal gifts would most effectually promote their own

THE HIIVIA.LAYA..

The Himalaya having disembarked all her sickly
freight, hauled off from Portsmouth dockyard jetty yes-
terday, and will proceed to Southampton to relit. Those
Fick and wounded not ordered to be accommodated at
Portsmouth Garrison Hospital left by railway yester-
day for the invalid depot at Chatham. Some horses
were landed from the Himalaya yesterday, said to be
the property of General Sir De Lacy Evans. They
looked in a miserable and jaded condition. The
Himalaya is discharging, by means of her own crew,
her obsolete stores into a hulk in Portsmouth harbout,
and will not get off to Southampton before to-morrow.
She is naturally an object,of much interest in the port,
and it is thought probable that her Majesty may go on
board her today, en route from Gosport to Osborne,
although the ship is not in the best plight for such a
visit.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JAN. 4.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at Venice,
inclosing copy of a Notice to Mariners, a translation of
which is subjoined, issued by the authorities at Trieste,
relative to a New Floating Beacon that has been placed in
the Curzola Channel, in the Adriatic Sea.
(Copy.)

(Translation.)

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
In order to prevent vessels getting ashore on the shoal of
Lusnac, lying between the Rock of Badia and the Rock of
Lusnac, at the E. entrance of the channel, between the
islands of Curzola and Sabionceilo, there has been placed
over the centre of the shoal, where there is only five feet
depth of water, a floating beacon of a quadrangular pyra-
midal form, the upper part of which is painted red and
the lower white.
To avoid the shoal vessels must keep twenty fathoms
distant from the beacon.

TRIAL 01? THE ESK.

The Esk, 21, screw, Captain Birch, went again to the
measured mile at Stokes' Bay, yesterday morning to
test the power and speed of Griffiths' propeller at a two-
feet coarser pitch. The results have been highly satis-
factory. Her speed on Wednesday, at the fine pitch,
realised on the average nearly 91 knots per hour, With
68 revolutions, and working up to 181 b. pressure. Yes-
terday the pitch was altered two fee', and her average
Was 94- knots per hour, with 60 revolutions, and 171 b.
pressure. The working of the engines has been highly
satisfactory, and the results more than could have been
anticipated. It must be borne in mind that the Esk is
of the Highflyer class, with 250 nominal horse-power
engines, having 50-inch cylinders, and 2 feet 9-stroke
vibration scarcely perceptible, and with a real improve-
ment of late introduced by the patentee, Mr. Griffiths.
The alteration of the pitch is so simplified that the com-
monest sailor on board can regulate the pitch of the
screw at pleasure. The propeller is hoisted in the ordi•
nary way, but where heretofore the pitch has been re-
gulated by a long key tfrom the deck, the propeller is
now hoisted on a level with the deck ; the fids are taken
out, the blade is released, and, by fresh fids being sub-
stituted the pitch is made coarser or otherwise. At all
events, the simplicity of the means conies nearer home
.to tho capacity of the Ulna jo.elveu lii the e.luseu,,, of the
engineer. The weight of the iron propeller now on trial
in the Fmk is about 3 tone ; if made of metal the weight
would be reduced to 21 tons. The present ordinary
screw-propeller weighs 31 tons ; but, to give a fair trial
of their respective merits, the Esk will ship the ordinary
propeller this day, and again run the measured mile.
Nothing can be fairer than the testing of the qualifica-.
tions of the difft,rent principles, and whatever be the re-
sults the public will have the benefit of. There is one
prominent feature as regards Griffiths' portable screw—
that of a damaged blade being shifted in a very little
time, and such blade weighing but little over 12cwt.

ADMIRAL DUNDAS'S FAREWELL TO

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

The following is the address of Admiral Dundas
upon quitting the command of the Black Sea fleet:

(General Memorandum.)
Her Majesty's ship Britannia in the Bosphorus,
22d December, 1854.
My term of service, as Commander-in-Chief, in the
Mediterranean and Black Seas having drawn to a close,
I am about to return to England and give up the com-
mand of this fleet.

During the past year many trying circumstances have
occurred—pestilence in its most aggravated form, action
with the enemy against land defences such as ships
hardly ever encountered, and a tempest of the most
awful violence.

In all those events the good conduct and gallantry of
the fleet have been evinced and proved.
In taking an affectionate leave of the officers, seamen,
and marines of the fleet, I can hereafter experience no
higher gratification than Vile assurance that they pre-
serve their high character for discipline, enterprise, and
devotion to our Sovereign and country.
J. W. D. DUND"
Vice-Admiral, Cora mander-in-Chief.
To the Admirals, Captains, Commanders, Officers,

Seamen, and Marines of the Fleet in the
Mediterranean and Black Sea,

M.AR.KET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

Coh.': E_LLILU GE.

There hO3 been a it arrival of English wheat up to our
market, coa2twise during the present week. The supply
fresh up to-day was limited, and the show of samples was
small. However, the demand for all kinds was in a
sluggish state at about Monday's prices.
Upwards of 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come
to hand. The transactions in that grain were verylimited,
at barely late rates.

There was a dull inquiry for barley and malt. Inferior
parcels were easier to purchase.
Oats, the show of which was tolerably good, were in
fair request at full quotations.
Both beans and peas were exceedingly heavy at Mon-
day's decline.
In fiour very little was doing, on former terms.
