THE MINISTERIAL CHANGES.

Great credit is due to Lord Dudley Stuart for the
able manner in which he has called attention to the late
Ministerial intrigues, and it is hoped that some sem-
blance at least of explanation will in consequence be
volunteered. It is said, however, that we may soon
look for some further changes. The Duke of Newcastle
is only to be the temporary Minister-at-War. A despe-
rate attempt was made, as we hinted several weeks ago,
to " put " Mr. Sidney Herbert into the office, and it is
most implicitly believed that intrigues with this view
are still in active operation. As soon as Austria takes
possession of the Principalities, and a shadow of peace
is restored, the Duke of Newcastle will vacate his ap-
pointment for that of Governor-General of India, in
room of Lord Dalhousie, and Mr. Sidney Herbert will
be elevated from his present inglorious position to that
of Minister of the Department.—/iforning Advertiser.

BAYMARKET THEATRE.

As might have been expe3ted in the case of so great a public
favourite, Mr. Buckstone was honoured at his benefit last
night with a crowded house and a most enthusiastic recep-
tion. The entertainments comprised Mr. Planche's drama
The Knights- of the ROUTEB',Table, which has reached its
thirty-sixth representation ; a ballet divertissement, a new
farce, entitled As Like as Two Peas, and the favourite
old one of The Turnpike Gate. The novelty was a de-
cided success, and will doubtless raise many a hearty
laugh for some time to come. The piece turns upon
the escapades of a certain Mr. Richards, a barrister, who
persuades his confiding wife that it is not he who has
been seen at masquerades, ersinos, dre., but some fast man
who resembles him so closelT that they are "as like as two
peas." Among other libertinisms, Mr. Richards has been
making love, under the pseulonyin of Mr. De Dunstanville,
to a supposititious widow, which lady, however, turns out to
be a certain Mrs. Pritchards; who has left her husband in con-
sequence of seme disagreement, and is seeking for a- legal
separation. For this purpose she calls on Mr. Richards, and
of course recognises in him her admirer. An explosion en-
sues and the barrister's too confiding wife is enlightened, and
a plot concerted to confound the rakish husband. On his
next entry, Mr. Richards is received by his wife with expres-
sions of wonder at his resemblance to her husband. All his
explanations are useless, as he has ots his finger a ring
given to him by the supposed widow, who has com-
municated the fact to _ the wife. Tho ctuble-dealing
husband is thus so completely convicted, that he is
compelled to deny his own identity, and at last is ignomini-
ously expelled from his own house as an impostor. When he
re-appears he is reminded by his.wife of eptain attentions and
endearments on his part of which he has no recollection, but
which he jealously attributes to another ; and thus, by an
amusing series of equivoques, the tables are completely turned.
Mr. Pritchards, who is in search of Mrs. P., now comes into
oollision with Mr. Richards, and his expressions of affec-
tion for his own wife aro mistaken by the other for proofs
of Mrs. Richards's infidelity. Of course an explanation
ensues, and all ends pleasantly. The farce was acted to
perfection, as may be inferred when it is stated that Mr.
Buckstone was Mr. Richards, Mr. Compton, Mr. Pritchards,
Mrs. Fitzwilllam Mrs Richards, and Mrs. L. S. Buckingham
Mrs. Pritchards. Nothing could be richer than Buckstone's
perplexity when caught in his own trap, and forced to admit
that he was his own double. Compton as the army con-
tractor, who had imbibed a taste for the military air and
manner, was excessively droll—his assumption of the martial
swagger and ferocity was admirable ; while Mrs. Buckingham
and Mrs. Fitzwilllam made a most interesting pair of injured
wives. No announcement was made of the authorship of the
farce; which was given out for repetition amidst unmixed
applause.

Fanumr.—A failure of a dealer was announced in the
Stock Exchange yesteraa# connected with the settle-
ment in foreign stocks and shares. Out of doors there
was an extremely active demand for money, arising
from temporary causes, such as always prevail from the
heavy adjustment of accounts at the end of a half-year.
CONTINENTAL EXCHANGER.—The continental ex-
changes continue with a favourable appearance, although,
some small parcels of gold are still sent to Paris. The
time required at the French mint for coinage is now 46
days, and the stock on band is supposed to be about
1,800,0001. At Hamburg there has been an improve-
ment in the rnoney•market, and discounts are obtained
with
ease at 31 per cent. By the advices from Vienna
it seems that the forthcoming Austrian loan is expected
to be virtually a forced one, to an amount equal to
40,000,000/, sterling in a 5 per cent. stock, at 95, the
dividends for the first year to be paid in the depreciated
paper circulation, but afterwards in silver.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—lnformation has been received
by the, police of a serious robbery effected on the pre-
mises of Messrs. Swaine, Job, and Co., merchant tailors,
379, Oxford-street, from whence the thieves contrived
to carry off two Bank of England notes for Si. each,
and one 5/. note of the Kingston Bank, endorsed with
the name of" Birch," about 151. in gold, six black and
gold mixture paletots, a black dress coat,. a blue frock
coat, several pairs of trousers, and numerous articles of
gentlemen's clothing, besides sundry pieces of plate, en-
graved "J.S. ' One of the thieves is described as being
about 21 years of age, 5 feet high, dark hair and eyes,
and was dressed in a mixture coat, coloured trousers,
black hat, and wore an 'Albert chain. A reward has
been offered for their apprehension.
THE HENLEY REGATTA. Yesterday being the
"grand day" a very numerous assemblage of company
were attracted to witness the sport. The rowing com-
menced at two o'clock with the final heat for the pre-
sentation prize for scullery, which was won by T. Pesser,
of Caversham. The pair-oared race for the silver gob-
lets was won by Messrs. Cadogan, Christ Church, Ox-
ford, and Short, New College. The Ladies' Challenge
Plate, for eight-oared boats, came next, and was con-
tested by the
Cambridge Trinity Boat Club and the
Oxford Pembroke College boat ; it was a well contested
race, and won cleverly by the Cantabs. The Visitors'
Challenge Cup, a four-oared race, was also won by the
Cambridge boat ; the contest was good. The next in
succession was the Picked Wstermen's Race for a purse
of sovereigns, four oared boats ; won by a length and a
half, after a most spirited curtest, by the crew, consist:
ing of Phelps, Fulham; llackinney, Richmond; Newell,
Horsleydown ; and Coombes (ex champion), stroke oar.
The Town Challenge Cup became the prize of the Defi-
ance Boat Club, Wargrave, beating the crew of the
Henley Boat Club by three lengths. The Grand Chal-
lenge Cup, for eight-oared boats concluded the sports of
the day, and was won (the crews being the same which
had contested for the Ladies' Plate) by the Cambridge
Trinity Boa Club, beating the Oxford Wadham College
boat by three lengths.
