HAYMARKET THEATRE.

At the solicitation of Mr. Buckstone, Sir Henry
Bishop will preside in the orchestra to-morrow evening
during the performance of Guy M anneriy, Miss Cush-
man having announced her benefit and last appearance.
One of the most original and striking performances of the
day is the Meg Merrilees of that extraordinary actress,
and as she represents that character on this oce...sion for
the last time, a full and fashionable house may well be an-
ticipated. The band during the evening will perform,
under Sir Henry Bishop's direction, his favourite over-
tures to " Montrose " and "The Miller and his Men,"
while a complete chorus will give all due effect to the
celebrated " Chough and Crow." We have no doubt
that many old playgoers and lovers of music will be
glad once more to see this distinguished composer wield-
ing his baton in the orchestra. Miss Cushman will also
appear as Juliana in The honeymoon, Mr. Vandenhoff
being the Duke, and Mr. Buckstone Jacques the Mock
Duke. A singular announcement which appears in the
bills of this theatre is calculated to excite some curiosity
that Saturday next is the last appearance of Mr. Buck-
stone previous to his voyage round the globe. We
presume some further information will be afforded us on
this subject.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 6, 1854,

NELSON IN THE BALIIU.

It was at the end of March that our fleet entered
the Baltic in 1891 to crush the Northern confede-
racy. When a e read of all that is done now by the
foe to render our visit perilous, to wreck or blow up
our ships—it is not only interesting, but highly re-
assuring, to read the account of that expedition- of
53 years ago. Nelson was not in command, we
must remember, though he soon won that station ;
and he was not slow in giving his opinion to his
superior. Then, as now, there was doubt about
whether to go by the Sound or the Belt ; and while
Sir Hyde Parker was hesitating, Nelson said, "Let
it be by the Sound or the Belt, or any way—only
lose not an hour ;"—a rather Napier-like speech.
It was the 30th of March when the ships passed the
Sound ; when, by the way, the Emperor Paul had
been dead nine days without the world being aware
of it. Again, then as now, the buoys were all re-
moved ; and it was necessary to have the channels
surveyed and marked ; and this work
.went on day
and night. When Nelson and his ships. were off
the shoal in front of Copenhagen, the pilots were
found to be untrustwor,hy, and were dismissed; and
it was under this enormous disadvantage that the
attack on Copenhagen took place. Nelson always said
that it was the unequalled difficulty of the naviga-
tion that made the glory of that victory. The only
pilotage was that of a Mr. Bryerly, the master of
an English vessel, who undertook to lead the fleet..
He did his best, but three ships grounded at the
outset. Then as now, the fortune of the whole war
appeared to depend on the promptitude and vigour
of the Baltic fleet ; but the Napier of that day was,
for some time, under the orders of an irresolute
superior, whose delays drove the hero to that memo-
rable act of disobedience which he made a sublime
jest of, when he put his glass to his blind eye that
he might not see the signal to stop fighting. When
he got his ships safely away, the northern allies
were in great amazement that he was fairly riding
in the Baltic. The Russian fleet was then frozen
up at Revel. The Admiral wanted to wait, while
Nelson chafed to go forward. The wind was wes-
terly for one thing—fair for Revel ; and at this
season a westerly wind in the Baltic is rather a rare
blessing. The wind is usually strong from the east
all spring ; and in those days, and in that sea, a
fair wind was all in all. If the Russian fleet should
get out of Revel, it would be an eternal disgrace.
How it would have amazed Nelson to know that
the next great Baltic expedition would be able to
make its way without a wind—actually in the teeth
of those easterly. gales I Early in May he received
his appointment to the command, and the news
of the Czar's death ; but he still pressed on—hav-
ing no great faith in the word of Czars, old or
young, about wishing for peace, which Alexander
then professed. The Russian fleet had got away
from Revel to Cronstadt ; but there was to be no
more fighting ; so we have. no precedent about the
passage of that channel, which is said. to be now
about to be choked with boulders—these boulders
being as many mines, charged, and connected with
galvanic apparatus on shore, or on board Russian
ships, to blow our heroes to the moon. It must
be rather a pity in Russian eyes that this little
device has got wind ; for Sir C. Napier, once fore-
warned, will take care that it gets water too. We
imagine he will let the wet in among that terrible
powder ; and as for the boulders—the probability
is that the ice will not stand still to be melted
exactly where the Czar commands, but will he
driven all abroad by pressure from within. The
melting of that ice does not proceed from the wes-
tern margin inwards, but is occasioned by the rush
of those formidable easterly winds, and the
warmth of the inland shores, whereby a de-
luge is brought down from the lakes and rivers,
heaping up the ice in huge piles, and smashing
it into pieces, which drift out before the cur-
rent far away from that narrow Cronstadt channel.
There is no saying how far away the geologists of
a future century may find -,those boulders. The
want of pilots in Nelson's day was decidedly a more
formidable evil than this game of nine pins that is
threatened upon the ice. The great expansion of
:totnnterce, as well as science, which has taken place
in half a century is favourable to modern naviga-
tion. There must be abundance of persons, other
than Russians, who know every foot of the channel
to St. Petersburg—the captains of the Hull traders
to St. Petersburg, for instance. _

Those persons Could easily explain, if explana-
tion were wanted, why the Czar has been pertina-
cious about obtaining delay, even more for the sake
of the Baltic than the Black Sea warfare. He
would have liked, no doubt, to put off the collision
another month, in order to manoeuvre his ships as
he liked, and to get in a good deal of the spring
merchandise, which his people must now go with-
out. But that is not all, nor perhaps the chief.
March and April are the months when the peasantry,
and indeed all below the capitalist classes of the
Baltic provinces, are in their poorest plight, as to
health, strength, and spirits. All household stores
are so exhausted by the long winter that the
gentry themselves repair to the coast towns, and
live there till the national larder is replenished,
and the mass of the people, who have been mixing
chopped straw or bark with their rye flour more
and more copiously as the winter wore on, have
now but a pinch of flour to a handful of straw ; so
that if the careless housewife allows any cake or
loaf to burn, it blazes like a torch. Thence ensues
disease, of course, and the wan population is swept
away by fever or indigenous cholera. Whole vil-
lages are left without aged or infant inhabitants,
while typhus spreads among the rest. The remedy,
as far as the coast is concerned, is in the marine
harvest which our expedition must intercept this
year. When the sea begins to toss—when the
strong east winds and the various and powerful
currents of that confined and agitated sea encoun-
ter each other, and make what sea-sick voyagers
know so well as a " short sea," the amber gathering
begins. The greater part of the amber in the world
comes from those coasts from which the residents
are now flying, bag and baggage, in the horror
ofinvasion. There will be little amber gather-
ing this year ; and if there were ever so much,
there will be no merchants hovering about
the coasts to buy it. The other spring harvest
is gathered from the herring shoals. As soon as
the boats can get out, they go after the strmming
—the Baltic herring—and then the inhabitants
get human food again. How much will they have
this spring
They are hastening into the interior. How will
they he off there ? The landed proprietors look as
eagerly as anybody for the spring supplies from the
Baltic. At this season, the peasantry of the inte-
rior depend wholly on the daily dole furnished from
the stores of their owner. They sit before the
doors of their hovels, waiting hungrily for the
flour or bread, and salt fiih, when that luxury is
afforded them. And now, when there will be no
spring supply, these villages will be invaded--are
at this moment invaded—by a second famishing
population, who must be fed or die. The Asiatic
commerce of Russia does not yield food--except
merely tea. From Turkey, wine, oil, and fruit
have been obtained, but the bulk of Russian com-
merce, and that in which the popular welfare is
most concerned, is that of the Ratio ; awl sorely
will the accustomed cargoes of corn and fish be
missed this year. It is nothing to the peasants of
exhausted villages in spring that Russia supplies
corn to other countries. She cannot supply it to
her own 'serfs. There are no roads ; there is no
communication ; and the country people are often
dead before their need is known in the towns. One
of the painful thoughts attendant upon the crisis
is that of the innocent peasantry, who are to be
starved out of life through the insane pride and
creed of him whom they are told to call their
" Father." It is from this peasantry that the
Czar's soldiery is drawn. It is the same clsss that
is perishing of disease and misery on the swamps of
the Danube, and on the sands of the Baltic, and
on the bleak steppes of the interior. Mercy to
these poor slaves requires a vigilant promptitude
in the Baltic. The speedier the blow at the heart
of the empire, the shorter will be the pain of its
helpless inhabitants. Our fleet must first pick its
way, as carefully, as perseveringly, and intercept
all the Russian commerce of that sea ; and thou—
once before the islands that lock the gulfs—once
within view of Russian fortifications, behind which
lies the empire in the form of three or four great
cities, the rest will soon be settled.—Daily News.

TERMINATION OF THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.—The re-
ports of our correspondents at Shields and Sunderland
state that the strike of the seamen of those ports is at
an end. At Shields the resolution to break up the strike
was last night carried, at a meeting of the seamen, by a
large majority. An effort was made by the minority to
rally a party in favour of a continuance of the strike,
but happily it proved of no avail. Without having come
to any definite resolution on the subject, many of the
Sunderland men, it appears, have entered into engage-
ments, and a number of vessels have proceeded to sea.

Wexford, who has just left for Rome in company with
his parish priest, transferred, previous to his departure

distribution of this munificent donation Mr. Devereux
has allotted the sum of 1,0001.
" for masses for his
family ;" and it is understood that 4,0001. are devoted

Roman Catholic University.
