SURREY THEATRE..II.Iaster BURKE ap-
peared last night for the first time as Richard 111., and
played the part—considering his years—with astonishing
ability.

The Hon. W. ASHLEY, one of the Mem-
bers for Dorcheetet, having vacated his seat, by accepting
the Chiltern Hundreds, H. C. STURT, Esq., of More
Critchell, in this county, last week offered himself to the
notice of the freemen of that borough. The election was
to have taken place on Saturday, and as there was no can-
didate opposed to Mr. STURT, no doubt could be enter-
tainecrof his being returned.— Western Luminary.

Yesterday the ceremony of laying the first
stone of the new choir of Peterborough cathedral, was
performed by Dr. MONCK, assisted by the Chapter.

The purchase of Government Annuities,
under the provisions of the new Act, is going on very ex-
tensively, and one bargain has recently been concluded by
a single individual for an annuity of 6,000/. It is, in
fact, a form of investment which appears to be gradually
obtaining a preference with the public over Stock, and to
which great numbers have been led, through their unwil-
lingness to accept either of the alternatives offered by the
Government, as a convet.ion out of the Four per Cents,
It is a rather curious fact, that even foreigners are availing
themselves of the terms offered by the new annuity tables,
and investing capital largely in this way. This arises,
probably from the low rate of interest money bears on the
continent generally ; for, depressed as it is in the London
market, .it is much lower in many parts of the continent.
Some of our capitalists, however, if peace should continue
a few years longer, anticipate a still further reduction in
the value of money.— Times.

A curious fact has recently come to our
knowledge, which shows the spirit in which the dramatic
censorship is conducted in this country. Until now our
readers were probably not aware that Mr. CoLmax looks
upon subserviency to " the great" as an essential attribute
cf his office. Neither should we have suspected it, had
we not been led to that inference by the circumstance to
which we are allUding. In the English version of the
opera of Cinderella, brought out on Tuesday evening at
Covent-garden theatre, the following dialogue originally
occurred :—" Dandini. Pray, Master Alidoro, help me,
for I am a great man now, and can do nothing !—Alidoro.
How, sirrah ! is that one of our privileges ?—Dandini.
Certainly, what do the great do, but live by the labours
of the little ?" Mr. Corarax struck out the whole of
Dandini's last answer. The entire dialogue was there-
fore omitted.

Extract of a letter, dated Alexandria, Jan. 6,
1830 :—" The Samarang frigate has been here about a
month, waiting for the dispatches expected at Butz since
the 10th of December by the steam-vessel, which was to
be experimentally started by the Indian Government, with
the view of ascertaining the fea9)ility and advantage of
this route for mails and passengers; and since these are
stlftioiently obvious, we hope to see Egypt shortly become
(as it ought to be) the high road to the British Colonies
in the East, and India brought, as it were, to our door."
WHY A HORSE IN THE CIRCUS LEANS TO
THY CENTax.—ln the equestrian feat exhibited in the ring
at the ampitheatre, when the horse moves round with the
performer standing on the saddle, both the horse and rider
incline continually towards the centre of the ring, and the
inclination increases with the velocity of the motion ; by
this inclination their weights counteract the effect of the
centrifugal force. —Dr. Lardraer's.Cabinet Cyclopedia,
