England via Cape Hi,rn, thus accomplishing a voyage round the
world in 128 days. The vessels forming the superb fleet of screw
steamers of this Company, of which this ship is one, are well known
for the punctuality and speed with which their voyages are performed.
No expense has been spared in their construction, and the accommo-
dations which they ffer to the pudic are insurpas-ed. if equalled,
by any ships afloat. Rates of Passage money vary, according to the
accommodation required, trom 30 to 100 guineas. Full particulars
as to Freicht and Passage may be had at the Company's Ofllcee, 2

THE FINNISH AND RUSSIAN PRISONERS.

Two brothers Grotenfelt, two brothers Dalin, Essen,
Captain Milart and wife, Captain See'linen, Dr. Oker-
mann, Lieut. Blume and wife, Lieut. Boliras, Major Gram.
The above aro the names of the Finnish prisoners (officers)
that leave Sheerness for Lewes, on Monday next, on which
morning they aro all ordered to appear at the admiral's
house (Gordon), with the whole of tho baggage and effects.
The Russian officers are to remain for the present. The
Finnish officers are all the superior grades ; in fact, no
doubt they are in reality gentlemen by birth and educa-
tion. The Russians have risen from the ranks, and are not
quite so gentlemanly as the others in appearance.

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EAST.

Yesterday morning, at eight a.m., the usually quiet
streets of Sheerness were disturbed by a cavalcade of sol-
diers proceeding on their way to the pier, to go on board
the Nymph steamer. •We found, however, that the greater
portion of them merely accompanied their companions—
to bid a farewell adieu to 25 volunteers from the artillery
here, who go to Woolwich to join a corps proceeding, we
understand, very soon to the seat of war in the East. We
noticed only one officer, and that was Lieut. Tucker (son
of Captain Tacker, captain superintendent of her Majesty's
dockyard here), who accompanies these brave fellows.

CANADA.

LIYERPOOL, Saturday Morning. The Sarah
Sands from Montreal arrived last evening with
dates to the 15th inst. Cholera was subsiding at
Quebec. She brought 240 artillerymen amongst
her passengers. The 71st, 66th, and 54th Regi-
ments were under orders for embarkation, and ex-
pecting to leave in one of the Company's steamers.
The Sarah Sands passed the Ottawa on the morning
of the 17th, one day's sail from Quebec.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHEBTIR, Sept. 29.—Our market is still suffer-
ing, though in a diminished degree, from that feeling of
distrust which was created by the recent heavy failures.
The shippers are doing extremely little, especially for the
more distant markets ; and the bias of prices is slightly
unfavourable in some kinds of yarns, and more markedly
so in goods suitable for India. The home manufacturers
are, however, buying 20s to 34s twist and weft in the
cop more freely than before ; and 32s cop twist, being
scarce, is lather inclined to harden in price.

GLASGOW, Supt. 29.—Our market keeps very steady.
The inquiry from the trade being good they buy pretty
freely. Prices of all descriptions of American cotton
are steady at last week's rates. Sea Islands fully one
penny per lb higher.

BRADFORD, Sept. 28.—The business of to-day bas
been on the same limited scale as for several weeks, the
spinners buying only what they require for immediate
consumption, prices being such as to retard extended
operations. Noils and broker continue in request.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front, the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS, Sept. 29.—There has not been any change of
consequence in the state of the woollen market thi,
week. There was rather more activity in the
coloured Cloth-hall on Saturday, and an improved
business was done ; but on Tuesday the market was
fiat, and the quantity of cloth that changed owners was
within a very moderate compass. In the white cloth
market, both on Saturday and on Tuesday, there was a
fair moderate business done.

HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 26.—The market today in the
Cloth-hall was not an improvement on the previous week,
but rather under the average of what we have had to
designate quiet these few weeks past.
ROCHDALE, Sept. 25.—We have had a brisk market,
and the demand for flannels is exceedingly good, at prices
much the same as the preceding week. The wool mar-
ket has undergone little or no change ; the manufac-
turers buy very sparingly, and for immediate use only.

PAVILION.

The pantomime here is supplied by Mr. F. Neale, one
of the lessees of the Garrick, and is calledl.fack and Jill ; or,
Harlequin and the Feur-Lcared Shamrock. The scene
in which the transformation takes place—" the Stalactite
retreat of Queen Hibernia"—was greatly applauded.
Jack and Jill became Harlequin (Sig. Bologna) and
Columbine (Paddle. Annette). A pair of Clowns
(Messrs. H. Caries and F. Safferini) join in the pursuit,
accompanied by an equal number of Pantaloons (W.
Lynch and W. Lacy). Of sprites there are three, the
Brothers Nelson, and one bearing the spritely name of
Young Flibberbgibbid. With such a force of merry
makers the stage is kept all alive and bustling ; and the
fun is of that striking and practical character which finds
ready acceptance with the audiences in the far east.

TURKE 'L

The Presse of Vienna has the following from
Constantinople, 11th :
"The Porte kas just drat ra up, in a very pre-
cise note, the conditions on which it will accord
to Greece a resumption of poli itical and commercial
relations. This note contains four articles, of
which the following are the, contents :-1. The
Greek Government shall nai ne a special commis-
sioner, who shall be received officially, and who
shall make to the Porte form al and public excuses
for the disturbances which have taken place on the
frontiers of Thessaly. 2. the .eek Commissioner
shall admit the right of the Po rte to exact an in-
demnity for the acts of brigart dage committed by
the Greeks. 3. The Commissiot ter shallinvoke the
mediation of Franca and England with the Porte,
in order to induce the latter to renounce the in-
demnity to which it has a right. The Porte, on its
side, in order to give a fresh pro of of its generosity
and its sincere desire to again-rt :some friendly re-
lations with Greece, will renounce it out of regard
to the allied powers. 4.. Ati eaty of commerce
and navigation will be conclud4 d between Greece
and the Porte founded on recriii rocal concessions."

MARYLEBO' E.

The entertainments at this th ja tre last night com-
menced—a few preliminary scnflies, :in the pit excepted—
with the Lady and the Devil, w eh was transformed
into a preliminary species of pan' ;ce.nime, not one. word
reaching the foot-lights. This 1 in ished, " the" panto-
mime, which is from the pen of Mr. Nelson Lee, fol-
lowed. Its title is, Young No.,s'al en the Grampian
Hills ; or, _Harlequin Lord Ullin-a; Daughter. The pan-
tomime opened in the retreat of :Barbarism —by which
we do not mean to say that it (pa inmenced in the pit—
who resolved in council to stay the progress of Civilisa-
tion. The council having broLe n up, there next ap-
peared the abode of Civilisatio a., who, in order to foil
the resolve of Barbarism, proposed, what did not at
first sight appear to be well calciy.";ated to the end in view
—a pantomime. To settle so g.eave a matter, of course
there must be a dance, which .ended, as that style of
deliberation invariably does, in the question being car-
ried nenvine contradicente. We. -were then conducted to
the abode of Old Norval, and fis d the son of that " fru-
gal swain" amusing himself with a gigantic book of
battles, instead of attending to the parental concerns.
Robbers arrived, and, after a. fight, in which some ad-
mirably burlesqued fencing 'way introduced, Young Nor-
val obtained a decisive victor/ over them. After this
there followed a scene in whitsb a fete given by Lord Ullin
is introduced, and here the Se ottish fetes at Lord Hol-
land's Park were done into enlil :erne extravaganza. Norval
eArried off all the prizes at the fete, and the papa not
viewing his advances with fa .vour, finished by carrying
off Lord Ullin's daughter ;also. In their flight they
come to Lochgyle, where t 1 e catastrophe of the intro-
ductory portion of the panto) .nime took place, the lovers
being wrecked. Upon this the scene changed to the
Tricolour Palaces, and Civitisation came forward in her
golden car with a celerity which puts her slower progress
out of doors decidedly ta, shmane. The transformations
then took place—Mr. Hasbary being Harlequin ; Mr.

STANDARD.

The pantomime here is entitled Fire, Fire, Burn Stick,
Stick won't Beat Pig ; or, harlequin Dante Crump and
the Silver Penny. The celebrated Tom ➢iathews appears
as Clown, Mr. Hemmings as Harlequin, Mr. Bird as
Pantaloon, and Madlle. Pauline as Columbine. From
this point to the conclusion " the fun waxed fierce and
furious," and the audience entered heartily into the
enjoyment of all the jokes. The piece is got up with
great care, and the concluding scene is really much
beyond what could be expected at a theatre east of
Temple-bar.

GARRICK.

This entirely new house, which is situate in Leman-
street, was last night opened for the first time, and ap-
parently in a somewhat unfinished state, as lar as the
drop•scene and some of the scenery were concerned ;
but " boxing night" was too tempting a night for its
inauguration ; and accordingly the curtain drew up upon
Home's well-known tragedy of Doullas, under the title
of the Noble ..ltepiterd, or, the Heir of Douglas, which
was followed by a pantomime with t'te still more ancient
and venerable name of Alfred the Greet of Eli;/land.
Taking into consideration that the house, the scenery,
the machinery, and the company, were all new and
untried, so far as acting together was concerned, the
Garrick made a very respectable debut. It is a
compact, neat theatre, very neatly fitted up, taste-
fully decorated, and well lighted. One of its peculiar
arrangements is, that the stage tan be hoisted up to
the flies, and leave in its place an arena, in which it is the
intention of the manager to give equestrian peformances,
and which will be a novelty in this part of the metro-
polis. Hope changes Alfred into Harlequin (Mr. Lewis
Le Vito), Ethelswitha, his beloved princess, into Colum-
bine (Miss Annie Merriton) ; Despair supplies a troop
of pursuers, in Pantaloon (Mr. Griffiths), and two
Clowns (Messrs. Knight and Morgan) ; Hope adds a
couple of Sprites ; and the Garrick opens its budget of
fun, which seemed to be relished greatly by an audience
full of the spirit of the season, although somewhat noisy
in their demonstrations of it.

STRAND.

The pontimime here is performed entirely by juveniles.
It is from the pen of the renowned Peter Parley, and is
entitled, Taffy was a Welshman; or, Harlequin and the
Manic Marrowbonse,andewasperfe persons,ctlysucne and,qfiil what The
characters are all u vunu u young
is moat singular, the arduous role of clown is performed
by a young lady, Miss Rose Edouin, a remarkably clever
child, who, it is said, has already achieved quite a
triumph in the part. Harlequin is played by Master
John Edouin, Pantaloon by Master Willie Edouin,
Columbine by Miss Eliza Edouin, Sprite by Master
Stilt, and Lover by Master Sullivan. The piece is
founded on the legendary ballad of " Taffy was a Welsh-
man, Taffy was a thief," and presents a very amusing
epitome of the adventures of that well known cupboard-
ranger. The first scene represents the midnight court
of the Lilliputian lays in the Realms of Moonlight, and
introduces us to the Queen of the Fairies, promising to
get up some royal theatricals for the amusement of her
court, and asking their decision as to whether it shall be
tragedy or comedy. A pantomime is of course demanded,
and her Majesty invokes the aid of Punch in the selec-
tion of a subject. He declines the office in favour of
Peter Parley, who informs her Majesty that he has
a pantomime already in rehearsal. The scene then
changes to the mountains of Wales ; and the audi-
ence are amused by the audacity of " Taffy the Welsh-
man," and his abduction of the celebrated piece of
beef. The difficulties in which he is involved create
much fun and merriment ; he is finally punished
by the magic marrowbone, and an unexceptioL.
able moral is thus conveyed. Repentance ensues ; and
justice, somewhat abating its severity, sentences the de-
linquent and his friends to undergo the usual panto-
mimic transformation. The harlequinade then com-
mences, and is kept up with unabated merriment. The
juvenile troop sustained their several parts most admir-
ably. The house was well filled.

SURREY.

Harlequin and Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, and
Little Three Eyes, or Beasts and Beauties, is the title of
the pantomime, which according to almost immemorial
custom ushers in the Christmas season at this theatre.
It is fully as extravagant as the most inveterate admirer
of this species of the burlesque could desire—and if
there be in some respects a dearth of wit the deficiency
is more than compensated (at least in the opinion of the
habitues of the Surrey) by the patriotism of the senti-
ment, which seems to form the basis of the introductory
action, and by some of the most gorgeous scenery which
has probably ever been put upon the stage. The extra-
vaganza which precedes the harlequinade introduces us
to King Ursaworsagrowlalouda, Emperor of all the
beasts, and of course "of all the Russias," who per-
forms all the feats of absurd tyranny which al.@
