SADLER'S WELLS.

The entertainments commenced with an entirely
new comedietta, in two acts, ertitled "Folly," fol-
lowed by a new operetta called "All's fair in Love
or War," whieh contains some very pretty music
and songs that cannot fail to )ecome popular. It
is hardly necessary to say tiat Miss Catherine
Lucette, as Marian Grange, flayed the principal
character most effectively, and indeed was very ably
assisted by Mr. A. Locksley, as Pierre Chose, who,
as principal tenor, maintained his former reputa-
tion, by Mr. H. Forrester, h the character of,
Colonel D'Arville, and the otter members of the
company. The piece is a mere trifle as a com-
position, and its plot a very simple ono. After the
abdication of Napoleon in 1814, in the entry of the
allied armies into Paris; Major Grange, an old Eng-
lish officer, was a prisoner of war, and his daughter
Marian had, during his captivity, formed an attach-
ment for Pierre Chose (Mr. A. Locksley), a young
corporal of the 15th Regiment, stationed in Paris.
Colonel d'Arville, the colonel, had himself an eye
upon Miss Grange, and by a variety of practices
" unbecoming an officer ana a gentleman," perse-
cuted the young people for a considerable time: His
course of conduct enabled Miss C. Lucette to display
not only her vocal powers with great effect, but
dramatic ability of the very first order. The piece
was eminently successful, and at its termination the
whole company sang the nitional anthem.

SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.

The weather being so fine afforded an opportu-
nity to the holiday folks to visit this museum in
great numbers. The model rooms, the statue gallery,
and the gallery for animal and vegetable products,
were numerously attended ; but that which was
most densely crowded was the department for
patents. In that place the throng was so great that
there was scarcely any moving, and what must be
very gratifying to the public was the fact that a
large number of those present appeared to be engi-
neers and mechanics, who examined the models with
great interest. The Great Exhibition being in such
close proximity to the museum drew vast numbers
to the locality, and during the day the whole neigh-
bourhood presented a most animated appearance,
and even the road all along Knightsbridge was
crowded with pedestrians going to or coming from
the Exhibition.

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARK.
Owing to the fineness of the weather many thou-
sands promenaded in the park, and more than a

wet and frosty nights we have had lately, never
looked better than they do at the present moment.

NATIONAL GALLERY.

The public availed themselves very freely of the
general holiday to visit the extensive collection of
paintings in this building under their new arrange-
ment. The visitors were chiefly of the working
classes, who examined the pictures with evident
satisfaction, and from time to time drew the atten-
tion of their companions to what especially
attracted their notice, and their remark often
evinced a fair degree of judgment. During the day
there was a constant stream of visitors from the
time the gallery was opened until it closed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY.

GROSS OUTRAGE ON A FOIALE.—Two ruffianly lad's,
named Michael Reander and James Tilley, were charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others, in
the following gross attack on Mrs. Catherine z,tory, a re-
spectable married woman, residing at 23, New-street,
Brompton.
Mrs. Story said—l was passing through Hyde-park,
about 9 o'clock at night, yesterday week, being an invalid,
and using an instrument to support my leg, having an in-
jured knee cap. I was suddenly surrounded by the pri-
soners and six or eight other lads. My pocket was picked
of my purse, containing some silver, and I was most shame-
fully ill-used by the lads. '1 hey put their hands up my
clothes, and behaved in the grossest manner possible. The
prisoners were two that ill-treated me, but I was so fright-
ened that I scarcely know which was the worst of the two.
I tried to get away as well as I could, and in doing so had
my shawl much torn. When the lads saw the instrument
on my leg they made use of the most disgusting language
towards me, and then ran off.
_ _ _

Charles Smith, 131 B, said he went to Reander's lodg-
ings this morning, and on telling him the charge, he said
he had made a mistake this time. He took him into cus-
tody, and then went to Tilley's lodgings, and on telling
him the charge, he said he was there at the time, but had
none of the money.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

RIO JANEIRO.

We have received by the French mail steamer
Navarre commercial advices from Rio to the 24th
of March. Exchange on England opened at 25.4(14
and closed at 253 d. to 254 d., firm, the bulk of the
business for this steamer being done at 252-d.., 90
days. In the coffee market, although the business
since the departure of the last English steamer had
been very light, dealers were very firm, and p.ricas
had advanced upon last quotations. Notwithst end-
ing the inducements held forth by high
prices, coni_
bined with remarkably fine weather, receipts
continued upon the same limited scale as
before, while the advices received from the inte-
rior confirmed previously expressed views regard-
ing the quality to come forward from present and
coming crops. Sales during the fortnight were
45,500 bags, of which 25,500 bags were for the

THE TEMPLE GARDENS.

Thanks to the veteran gardener, Mr. Broom, and
Mr. Dale, the citizens of London were not com-
pelled to go to Battersea-park or Clapham-common
to view a few choice beds of early flowers; for owing
to their perseverance, some find beds of various
spring flowering plants are at present in full bloom,
and if the weather:should continue warm, in the
course of a week or two a beautiful sight may be
anticipated in the two gardens. The chrysanthe-
mums and the pompones are now showing a fair
head, and look very hardy.

CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.

This truly attractive.company of negro singers
continue their performances at the Polygraphic
Hall, King William-street, Charing-cross, with un-
abated success. Their programme for the week is
an entirely new one, and comprises some capital
dancing and delineations of negro character, and
some new comic songs. But, perhaps, the most at-
tractive features of the entertainment are the
charming ballads so well sung, and the laughable
burlesque in which the whole of the company
appear. In addition to these some instrumental
solos are introduced and the evening's performance,
as a whole, is one as varied and pleasing in its
nature as the greatest admirer of negro entertain-
ment could wish it to be:

A STLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

Mr. Batty, the present successor of the famed
Astley, catering for the Easter holiday-folks, threw
the doors of the Royal Amphitheatre open yester-
day for a morning performance, which commenced
at two o'clock, and gave entire satisfactioi to all
who witnessed it.

In the evening the doors were again thrown open,
when the grand Eastern Spectacle, " The Rajah of
Nagpore," the Scenes in the Circle, and " Tie Mill
in an Uproar," were produced.
In " The Rajah of Nagpore," which has already
had a run, and which has been most attractively
placed upon the stage under the superintendence of
Mr. W. Searle. stage manager, Mr. Bell's performing
elephants--the largest in England--were intro-
duced. " Sensible," as it were, that" all this world's

intellect are expected to play their parts upon it,
they showed that they had thoughtfully studied,
and that they well understood the characters
assigned to them. Perfectinthegiargepnelie:ort

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

In selecting Easter Monday for the first of the
Monday performances this season, the director, as
a matter of course, selected the opera which he
conceived, more than any other in the repertory,
would engage the attention of tho general public.
The performance of " Guillaume Toll" last night
was, perhaps, the most complete of the four given
this season ; at least it was a vast improvement on
the third representation given on Saturday week,
when, in consequence of M. Zelger's sudden illness
in the second act, the grand trio for Arnold, Tell,
and Walter—one of the most magnificent numbers
in the score—had to be omitted, M. Zelgor had last
night recovered the full use of his powers, and
there was /10 drawback on his account. There was
more than the usual excitement, although the stalls
were half empty, and the boxes but tolerably filled.
The amphitheatre and gallery, however, were
crowded to suffocation.

of the institution stimio- '
performan—

—.co these gallant men in the
of their sacred work.

Honorary and pecuniary rewards have been voted
by the institution during the past year for saving,
or attempting to save life, as follows :—Thirty-nine
silver medals, 17 voted of thanks inscribed on vellum,
and the sum of £1,287 14s. 2d. in pecuniary re•
wards.

The medals and other honorary awards of the
institution are much coveted by the coast boatmen
and men of the coastguard service, and the amount
and prompt payment of its pecuniary rewards afford
general satisfaction.

The operations of the oommittee may be thus
stated. Since the formation of the institution it
has expended on lifeboat establishments £57,000,
and has voted 82 gold and 705 silver medals for dis-
tinguished services in saving life, besides pecuniary
awards, amounting together to £15,384.
Finances—The total receipts of the society dur-
ing the year 1861 have been £15,092 10s. 10d.
The following legacies have been received dur-
ing the past year :—The late Mrs. Wilhelmina
Watson, of Berwick-on-Tweed, £504 ; Miss Ann
Easter Barber, of Warwick, £5O ; Thomas Fisher
Hemingten, Esq., of Uplyme, Devon, £100; J. R.
Judkin, Esq., of Hackney, £lO5 ; Miss E. S. B.
Palmer, of St. Ann's Gardens, St. John's Wood,
£45 ; Edwin Cuthbert, Esq., of Camberwell, £5O ;
and Captain Bewerbank, R.N., £9O.
The expenditure during the past year was
£13,955 2s. 10., of which sum £6,162 2s. 3d.
were expended on additional life boats, transport-
, ing carriages, boathouses, and necessary gear; and
£3,057 3s. 4d. on the necessary expenses of repairs,
painting, refitting, and inspection ; £1,368 3s. 2d.
in payment of services to shipwrecked crews; and
£1,950 13s. 10d. (including what was paid by the
local branch funds) on coxswains' salaries, and
.for
the quarterly practice of the boats' crews.
With one hundred and twenty-one life-boats un-
der their charge, it is reasonable to expect that
amongst such a fleet casualties will occasionally
take place. Some boats, from accidents, will be
permanently disabled, others will decay from natu-
ral causes. Independently, therefore, of the large
income indispensable to the keeping up in a state of
permanent efficiency 121 lifeboat establishments,
probably no year will pass without some of the
boats themselves requiring to be replaced.

The operations of the institution now extend all
over the British isles. To maintain and perpetuate
these operations is a matter of earnest and constant
solicitude to the committee. They have incurred a
grave responsibility, but they do not shrink from
it, and are determined, with the continued blessing
of the Almighty, and the sympathy and liberality
of the British public, to leave no effort untried that
can in any way tend to lessen the annual loss of
life from shipwrecks on our shores.

fully explained in J. GROSS3IITII'S

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-

ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. 8.. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic managemen t
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers 13
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject
to stricture."—Aedical Circular.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EV

THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Easter Monday has been from time immemorial
the great outdoor festival of the artisans of London,
but it is seldom that in our fickle climate they are
blessed with such genial holiday weather as smiled
upon them yesterday. There was an occasional
passing cloud, and a few timid persons foreboded
showers, but their fears were falsified; not a drop
fell, and, with few exceptions, the sun shone out
brilliantly. In consequence the streets were from
an early hour crowded with persons in their holi-
day dresses, hurrying along to various scenes of
enjoyment and relaxation. The votaries of fresh
country air were numerous, but there was a large
portion also who spent the day in the places of
amusement which were opened on tho occasion.
In the evening, also, the theatres were crowded.
We subjoin a report of the proceedings at the prin-
cipal places of entertainment :

the dialogue was one continued succession of jests,
good, bad, anil indifferent, but almost all of the
most desperate and haphazard description ; and
challenging admiration quite as much of the auda-
city as of the wit of their inventor. The success of
the performance was like its general merits, of a
somewhat mixed character. The play did not ap-
pear to meet with the complete approbation of the
audience, but it elicited frequent laughter, and it
until further notice.

Easter Monday has been from time immemorial
the great, outdoor festival of the artisans of London,
but it is seldom that in our fickle climate they are
blessed with such genial holiday weather as smiled
upon them yesterday. There was an occasional
passing cloud, and a few timid persons foreboded

In the evening, also, the.theatres were crowded•
We subjoin a report of the proceedings at the prin-
cipal places of entertainment :

the dialogue was one rentinued succession of jests,
good, bad, and indifferent, but almost all of the
most desperate and haphazard description ; and
challenging admiration quite as much of the auda-
city as of the wit of their inventor. The success of
the performance was like its general merits, of a
somewhat nixed character. The play did not ap-
pear to meet with the complete approbation of the
audience, hnt it elicited frequent laughter, and it
was announced amidst 801110 applause for repetition
until further notice.

tors came pouring iuto the majestic structure in
quick succession, the numbers swelling gradually
to something like 30,000. The special attraction
provided on the occasion was the re-appearance of
our old and intrepid:friend Blondin, who was ad-
vertised to make his first ascent this season on the
high as well as the low tight rope.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.
The new entertainment, " The Family Legend ;
or, Heads and Tales," has proved the most palpable
hit Mr. and Mrs. German Reed have had for years.
This is, in a great measure, owing to its proceeding
from so shrewd and practised a hand as that of Mr.
Tom Taylor, who has combined the excellent and
the novel in a remarkable degree in its concoction.
The entertainment, too, recommends itself more
than entertainments of the kind usually do, inas-
much as a dramatic thread runs through the whole,
and an unbroken interest is given to it si hick arrests
attention throughout. In addition to the " Family
Legend," there is the musical narration of the
" Colleen Bawn," sung with so much effect by Mr.
John Parry ; and the " Rival Composers," of which
we have already spoken on more than one occasion.

of the institution stimulate these gallant men in the
performance of their sacred work.

Honorary and pecuniary rewards have been voted
by the institution during the past year for saving,
or attempting to save life, as follows :—Thirty-nine
silver medals, 17 voted of thanks inscribed on vellum,
and the sum of £1,287 .14s. 2d. in pecuniary re-
wards.

The medals and other honorary awards of the
institution arc much coveted by the coast boatmen
and men of the coastguard service, and the amount
and prompt payment of its pecuniary rewards afford
general satisfaction.

The operations of the committee may be thus
stated. Since the formation of the institution it
has expended on lifeboat establishments £57,000,
and has voted 82 gold and 705 silver medals for dis-
tinguished services in saving life, besides pecuniary
awards, amounting together to £15,384.
Finances—The total receipts of the society dur-
ing the year 1861 have been £15,092 10s. 10d.
The following legacies have been received dur-
ing the past year:—The late Mrs. Wilhelmina
Watson, of Berwick-on-Tweed, £504 ; Miss Ann
Easter Barber, of Warwick, £5O; Thomas Fisher
Remington, Esq.,
of Uplyme, Devon, £lOO ; J. R.
judkin, Esq., of Hackney, £lO5 ; Miss E. S. B.
Palmer, of St. Ann's Gardens, St. John's Wood,
£45 ; Edwin Cuthbert, Esq., of Camberwell, £5O ;
and Captain Bewerbank, R.N., £9O.
The expenditure during the past year was
£13,955 2s. 10., of which sum £6,162 2s. 3d.
were expended on additional life-boats, transport-
ing carriages, boathouses, and necessary gear; and
£3,057 3s. 4d. on the necessary expenses of repairs,
painting, refitting, and inspection ; £1,368 3s. 2d.
in payment of services to shipwrecked crews; and
£1,950 13s. 10d. (including what was paid by the
local branch funds) on coxswains' salaries, and
.for
the quarterly practice of the boats' crews.
With one hundred and twenty-one life-boats un-
der their charge, it is reasonable to expect that
amongst such a fleet casualties will occasionally
take place. Some boats, from accidents, will be
permanently disabled, others will decay from natu-
ral causes. Independently, therefore, of the large
income indispensable to the keeping up in a state of
permanent efficiency 121 lifeboat establishments,
probably no year will pass without some of the
boats themselves requiring to be replaced.
The operations of the institution now extend all
over the British isles. To maintain and perpetuate
these operations is a matter of earnest and constant
solicitude to the committee. They have incurred a
grave responsibility, but they do not shrink from
it, and are determined, with the continued blessing
of the Almighty, and the sympathy and liberality
of the British public, to leave no effort untried that
can in any way tend to lessen the annual loss of
life from shipwrecks on our shores.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

In selecting Easter Monday for the first of the
Monday performances this season, the director, as
a matter of course, selected the opera which he
conceived, more than any other in the repertory,
would engage the attention of the general public.
The performance of " Guillaume Tell" last night
was, perhaps, the most complete of the four given
this season ; at least it was a vast improvement on
the third representation given on Saturday week,
When, in consequence of M. Zelger's sudden illness
in the second act, the grand trio for Arnold, Tell,
and Walter—one of the most magnificent numbers
in the score—had to be omitted, M. Zelger had last
night recovtkcti the -MI :Use of his—powers; ald
there was uo drawback on his account. There was
more than the usual excitement, although the stalls
were half empty, and the boxes but tolerably filled.
The amphitheatre and gallery, however, were
crowded to suffocation.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The Polytechnic has always been a favourite
place of resort at holiday time, and those into whose
hands the management has now fallen do not seem
disposed to allow it to lose its good reputation.
This Easter they have provided a most attractive
programme, and it was by no means surprising that
yesterday morning and evening the building was
crowded. In addition to the usual attraction Pro-
fessor Pepper delivered a most interesting lecture
on " Colour in general and coal-tar colours in par-
ticula," in which he showed in a series of experi-
ments how coal tar was by a variety of processes
made to produce the beautiful colours mauve and
magenta.

NATIONAL GALLERY„

The public availed themselves very freely of the
general holiday to visit the extensive collection of
paintings in this building under their new arrange-
ment. The visitors were chiefly of the working
classes, who examined the pictures with evident
satisfaction, and from time to time drew the atten-
tion of their companions to what especially
attracted their notice, and their remark often
evinced a fair degree of judgment. During the day
there was a constant stream of visitors from the
time the gallery was opened until it closed.

PRINCESS'S.

Messrs. Pechter and Yates' new five act drama of
"The Golden Daggers" was repeated here last
evening, with " Cash v. Cupid" as a lever de rideau.
As so full a notice was given in our yesterday's im-
pression, we need merely note that the new play
was received with increased favour.
London, England, 1862-04-22

SADLER'S WELLS.

' 'The entertainments commenced with an eniirely
.now vatedietta, in two acts, entitled "Folly," fol-
lowed by a new operetta called " All's fair in Love
or War," which contains some very pretty music
and songs that cannot fail to become popular. It
is hardly necessary to say that Miss Catherine
Lucette, as Marian Grange, played the principal
character most effectively, and indeed was very ably
assisted by Mr. A. Locksley, as Pierre Chose, who,
as principal tenor, maintained his former reputa-
tion, by Mr. H. Forrester, in the character of
Colonel D'Arville, and the other members of the
company. The piece is a mere trifle as a com-
position, and its plot a very simple one. After the
abdication of Napoleon in 1814, on*the entry of the
allied armies into Paris, Major Grange, an old Eng-
lish officer, was a prisoner of war, and his daughter
Marian had, during his captivity, formed an attach-
ment for Pierre Chose (Mr. A. Locksley), a young
corporal of the 15th Regiment, stationed in Paris.
Colonel d'Arville, the colonel, had himself an eye
upon Miss Grange, and by a variety of practices
" unbecoming an officer and a gentleman," perse-
cuted the young people for a considerable time: His
course of conduct enabled Miss C. Lucette to display
not only her vocal powers with great effect, but
dramatic ability of the very first order. The piece
was eminently successful, and at its termination, the
whole company sang the national anthem.
