attraction this meeting opened well, and is likely to ex.

attendance of company was fully of an average strength,
and some of the contests, though prospectively unim
portant, created a lively interest. The sun shone forth
with great power, but had little attempering efftot on

CREMORNE GARDENS.

Yesterday afternoon these gardens were opened for the
season under the most flattering auspices, and it is clear,
from the immense crowds which had assembled during the
course of the evening, that Cremorne is not likely to lose,
any of its former attractions. Indeed, no efforts appea
to have been wanting upon the part of the proprietor to
deserve the extensive patronage which there is every proba-
bility will crown his exertions during the ensuing season.
The whole of the gardens have been thoroughly refitted
during the winter recess; and although pf course the prin-
cipal accommodations remain i Auk the some as ou_previous

WYLD'S GLOBE.

The patronage bestowed by the public upon this interest-
ing model appears to be of a very permanent character. Mr.
Wyld. turns it to very excellent account, and the lecture*
which are delivered daily by the gentlemen employed for
the purpose are among the most instructive that the me•
tropolis affords. The study of physical geography cannot
be better or more usefully conducted than within the walls
of this building, the general character of the formation of
the earth being exhibited as it were in one vast ensemble,
every assistance being given to inquiries of the kind by
the numerous maps, charts, local models, &c., with whirl,
the vestibules and ground-floor gallery abound. The lea'
tures now in the course of delivery are on Turkey and its
relations with Europe, the Baltic, our comma nicstiou

Throughout the day-the river (to use the usual phrase)
" presented a most animated spectacle," and the varionsi
piers, from as early as nine o'clock; were crowded with
people from almost every part, proposing to pursue plea-
sure at Greenwich. The railoreY attracted, if possible, a

PRINCESS'S.

No holiday piece was performed at this theatre last
night ; but the patrons of the drama appeared abundantly
satisfied with the performances provided for their enter-
tainment. The play of Richard 111., as adapted to the
stage by Mr. Charles Kean, is a representation which has
always charms for the play-going portion of the public.
The rapid succession of events—the stirring scenes of the
battle-field—the faithful portraiture of a character which,
if not historically impressive, is, at least, poetically cor-
rect, all conspire to make the tragedy one of enduring
interest. Of the performance of last night it will be only
necessary to say that it was characterised by that propriety
of treatment, poetically feeling, anegeneral consistency
which mark all the representations produced under the
management of Mr. Charles Kean. The appointments of
the play were historically accutate, and Mr. Kean was re-
peatedly applauded in the more striking scenes. The en-
tertainments concluded with the drama of The Lancers.

EGYPTIAN HALL.

The war receives further pictorial elucidation from Mr.
Allom's diorama, now on exhibition at the Egyptian Hall,
where for some months past it has been on view under the
auspices of Mr. Albert Smith. The insight which this
diorama affords into the internal aspects of Constantinople
i■ as minute as can well be imagined. The pictures are on
a large scale, and furnish representations of every phase of
Turkish life, with all the principal buildings and highways
of the city, besides views of tho Dardanelles and other
places, to which the progress of the war gives obvious inte-
rest. Mr. Charles Kenney is the general lecturer, but on
Wednesday and Saturday Mr. J. H. Stocqueler enters more
fully into the history of the war and the present position
of the hostile parties. The ability of this gentleman as a
public expositor is well known ; but in the present case he
also brings to the task much local knowledge and the ex•
perienco derived from a long residence in the East.

THE DANUBE.

VIZIN-NA, APRIL 13.—The last accounts state
that numerous skirmishes of a very sauguiary cha-
racter take place along the line of the Danube.
The national antipathies have reached their ex-
treme point.
Prince Gortschakoff is about to move from Bu-
charest upon the Danube.
General Luders has arrived at Ifirsova with the
main body of the army.
The Turks have evacuated the island which they
occupied near Touschtukai, in order to bang up
their heavy artillery to Silistria.
Omar Pacha is manceuvting for the double pur-
pose of covering Silistria and the Wall of Trajan.

Ludersonly advances very slowly in Dobroutscha
and with the greatest preautibn.

We read in the Corriere Italiano of Vienna :
" Letters from Bucharest of the Bth say that
Omer Pacha had ordered the troops who were
on the line of the Balkans to commence their
march on the 10th towards the Danube. The
corps of 8,000 men, concentrated by Omer Pacha
at Bazardjick was advancing towards the wall of
Trajan. Teh Merchant vessels had arrived at
Varna with provisions and military stores, and
others were expected. The Turks were making
preparations to pass, the Danube near Turtukai and
Rustjo uuk. Princo Paskie wite h was eapeuted ztit
Bucharest on the 15th. He would stop here but
a very short time, and then proceed with Prince
Gortschakoff towards the Danube."
A letter from St. Peter' burg, in a Frankfort
journal, states that the Prussian AMbassador, as
well as the Austrian,
_,refused to attend the Te
Deum sung in presence of the Imperial family on
the occasion of the' passage of the Danube by the
Russians.

ARGYLL ROOMS.

London is a source of great attraction to the holiday
keeper in Easter week, since in possesses entertainments
to suit every taste, from the prince to the peasant. Not
the least attractive of these, perhaps, is to be found in
the promenade concerts which M. Laurent gives nightly
at the Argyll Rooms. The renowned Jullien was
famous for this description of concert, but it would seem
as if Laurent was destined to become greater even than
he, as, the. wielder of the orchestral baton. Certainly
neither Jullien !tor Strauss soul& surpass • the skill and
precision with which Laurent conducts the performances
of his well disciplined band of instrumentalists, while his
Selections of music are at once chaste and judicious. At,
'present the leading feature of his concert is taken from
the North Star, the opera which is now all the rage in
Paris but the most popular piece with his multitude of
admirers is a waltz, founded upon the notorious Wilikins
and his Dinah, and proceeding from the' pen of his
brother, Henri Laurent. One would suppose that we
had, already had enough of the sayings and doings of the
Wandering Minstrel, for go where you will you erasure
to meet with 'some one to warble his lamentations:
The
arrangement of this waltz, however, impartsa 'freshness
and' novelty to :the well-known air, and therefor! 'We
strongly advise those who have the means and themtieren%
to place the Argyll Rooms on their list of:annum t.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITITTION.

This old-established repertory of science and art never
fails to be inundated with visitors when a holyday releases
the public from their avocations. By the younger branches
of the community it is in especial request, and very de-
sirably so, for to an inquiring youth the galleries of th•
institution open out topics of boundless interest. The
programme of the present period is of much the same cha-
racter as it has hitherto been. During the many years of
its existence it has furnished tho multitude with much
agreeable instruction, and has, no doubt, stimulated those
yearnings for study which after life has confirmed. As a
public haunt the worth of this institution is therefore
great, and it is gratifying to find that its utility does not
weaken as it grows older. or that its resources diminish by
a relaxing patronage. The dissolving pictures, always a
feature of interest, at the Polytechnic, treat the Easter
visitor with views on the Danube and the Black Sea—all
the places, in fact, to which the present war is giving mo-
mentous importance.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1854.

with the Esquiznaux from Cumberland Straits, and encoun-
ters many droll adventures with:the Yankees, at whom he
does not fail to take a fling cl propos of the slave trade.
After various other scenes and adventures, too numerous to
mention in detail, Mr. Buckstone's "golden dream" ends.
There is a grand exhibition of the four quarters of the,
world in their new quarters at the rfaymarket. Two
ladies, dressed somewhat after the fashion of .Toan of Arc,
are seen on the summit of this "dull, diurnal sphere,"
waving the union jack of England and the tri-colour of
France, the bands play up a martial strain, the blue lights
glare, and sic transit gloria (Easter) ifundi. This little
piece is written with Toint and humour, and is so con-
structed as to bring out the peculiar eccentricities of Mr.
Buckstone's style in the strongest relief. The pompous air
of satisfaction with which that amusing actor rounds off
his periods, the power which he has of penetrating to the
minutest subtleties of comic dialogue, and his skill in de-
tecting every variety of which the delivery may be capable,
and in enhancing the significance of a joke by a gesture,
were abundantly manifest in every scene. Miss Feather-
stone appeared as The Spirit of the Ocean Mail, from the
Royal Gallery of Illustration, and won great and well-de-
served applause. There is life in her movements, a hearty
gaiety in her tones, and a singular freshness in all her act-,
ing. The following was amongst the airs she sang :

does not fail to take a fling a 2iropos of the slave trade.
After various other scenes and adventures, too numerous to
mention in detail, Mr. Buckstone's " golden dream" ends.
There is a grand exhibition of the four quarters of the
world in their new quarters at the Haymarket. Two
ladies, dressed somewhat after,the fashion of Joan of Arc,
are seen on the summit of this `RInll; diurnal sphere,'
waving the jack-ofunion -Engtifi-51..ind- the tri-colour of
France, the bands, Play ups martial Arlin, the blue lights
glare, and sic transit (*rig, (Easter) liundi. This little
piece is written with, point and humour, and is so con-
structed as to bring out the peculiar eccentricities of Mr.
Buckstone's style iu the strongest relief. The pompous air
of satisfactiou with which that amusing actor rounds oil
his periods, the power which be has of penetrating to the
Minutest subtleties of comic-dialogue, and his skill in:de-
tecting every variety of which the delivery may be capable,
and in enhancing the significance of a j467bY a gesture,
were abundantly manifest in every scene. Miss Feather-
! stone appeared as The Spirit of the Ocean Mail, from the
Royal Gallery of Illustration, and won great and well-de-
served applause. There is life in her movements, a hearty
gaiety in her tones, and a singular freshness in all her act-
ing. The following was amongst the airs she sang :

.` BRITISH GRENADIERS.'
" Since first yon pillars bounded
Thy labours, Hercules,
Their echoes ne'er resounded
With such brave shouts as these.
Thus, noble friends, for ever
Pursue your grand careers !
Hurrahs let us raise for the Gardes Fiancaises'
And the British Grenadiers !”

" AIR-'

Nor must we forget to award a passing word of praise to
Mr. W. Farren, who sang the following French verses 'with
great sweetness and spirit :--
" AlR—` PARTANT POUR LA SYRIE.'
" PArtant pour la Syrie,'
Entendez vous ce chant?
A vos fanfares, Russie,
Comme it repond gaiemeatl •
La France et l'Angleterre. ,
Entre eux want plus g'ime
S'il faut enfin la guerre
Que Dieu defend le droit r ,
" lin Prince a dit naguere,
L'Empire c'est la Paix,'
Avec transport la terre
Recut ces mats sacra.
Malheur au temeraire,
Que vient troubler sa joie,
A ce tyran la guerre !
Et Dieu defend le d'roit 1"
It should be observed that the military ardour of the
audience was kept at the most pugnacious point all the
evening, by the singing of similar snatches of song, and
by the performance of such airs as " The British Grena-
diers," and "The Tight Little Island."

MURDER IN ST. GILES.

This morning, the most intense excitement was occa;
sioned by a report in St. Giles and vicinity, that a female
had been murdered by her paraineur, which on inquiry
proves to be, unfortunately, a melancholy fact. From
what can be gleaned, it seems that the deceased's name
is Barbara Mitchell, aged 89 years, and resided
at No. 15, Little White-lion-street, Seven-dials, St
Giles, and cohabited with a man of the name
of William Busey, who has for some length of
time brutally ill-used her. The repeated cries of
murder proceeding from the house had caused Mr.
Radden, hairdresser, opposite the house, to take no
notice of it, as he hal repeatedly interfered and got
offence for his trouble. The deceased came home tipsy,
when Busey commenced kicking her with all his force,
and knocked her doWn, when cries of murder were
heard, but no notice was taken for the reason stated.
She was found lying on the floor, quite dead, by the side
of the bed ; every part of her person exhibiting marks of
violence, which had evidently been-occasioned by heavy
blows and kicks. The face and head were shockingly
swollen and disfigured. Mr. J. Hine, the summoning
officer instantly repaired to the hquse, and had the
body removed to St. Giles's Workhouse. Busey has for.
the present escaped the vigilance of the detective officers
of the F division of police. - Information has been for-
warded to the coroner, who has ordered a post mortem
examination of the body. No day has yet been named
for the inquest.

SAIMQUA, THE IAOUTAE.

'We have no news of consequence from the north.
The rebels still hold Shanghai, and the degrada-
tion of Samqua is not likely to hasten its recapture
by the Imperialists. A false report was current in
Shanghai that the ex-Taoutao had committed
suicide by swallowing gold ; but we have seen a
letter of late date from one of the family, in which
no mention is mad© of such an event, but confirm-
ing the intelligence contained in the following para-
graph from the North China Herald, of Aug. 12:—
" Taoutee Woo, we hear, has been accused by his-su-
periors on five counts, the principal of which are-1.
Embezzling the duties collected at this port ; 2. • Compli-
city with the rebels ; 3. His taking Lew into Lis pay,
and yielding up the City of Shanghai to him ; and 4th.
Entering into trading speculations with foreigners,. Be
went to Soochow some time since, and, it is said, was
there arrested and sent on to Pekin, Lan is sent bere:
to take his place, and Seib, the judge, is in high favour,
and has been appointed lieutenant-governor of Keapg-
goo— -The -former governor, Heu-nae-ohaeu, has be+

attendance of buyers, and an indifference on their part to-
wards business. Wheat was called ld to 2d per bushel,
flour is per barrel and 2s per sack, oats id to ld per bushel,
and oatmeal 6cl per load lower than on Tuesday last. For

good fortune I y Marshal St. Arnaud wnd Lord
Raglan.."

The following extract is from a letter from Con-
stantinople, dated the 15th :
"It is much to be wished that the Tnrkish army,
under Omer Pasha, could create some diversion by
attacking the Bessarabia❑ frontier. There can be
little doubt that the length of time which the affair
in the Crimea has lasted, and is likely to last, will
allow the Russians to send reinforcements, at im-
mense loss certainly, but yet no doubt in sufficient
numbers to make the operations of the Allies far
more difficult. It is now six weeks since the expe-
dition against Sebastopol made its rendezvous in
Baltchik Bay, and during that time a Russian force
could march, even at its accustomed slow rate,
more than 300 miles. The report that considerable
succours have arrived already in the Crimea may
be incorrect, but is not to be despised. It is certain
that the Generals are inclined to put faith in the
story, for they drove out the Greeks from Balaklava
for fear of their treacherous co-operation with the
force at Simpheropol. That an extensive campaign
can be attempted in the muddy soil of Bessarabia at
this season is out of the question, but a demonstra-
tion on the Pruth might lead to a part of the Rus-
sian force being compulsory detained, and so lighten
the pressure on the Allied armies. However, it is to
be hoped that the bombardment and assault, which
it is said are to begin to-morrow, will anticipate any
succours which can possibly arrive. Experience has
shown that in operations of this kind it is the
preparatory measures which cause the delay, and
that the affair, once commenced, is soon concluded
one way or another. Which way the victory will
lie in the present case the past deeds of Bomarsund
and the Alma allow us to conjecture with sufficient
certainty. That Sebastopol will be taken does not
admit of doubt, but it is the retention of the conquests
which will necessitate the presence of a large force to
repel any attacks which may be made by a desperate
Government, unsparing of men and unscrupulous in
means."

From Canton the news is still very melancholy,
though a slight glimmering of hope seems to break
through the darkness that quiet will speedily be
restored, in the neighbourhood of the Provincial

Great distress from want of food prevails in the
city among the poor, and some soup kitchens are
being opened by the benevolent to supply congee
at about one-third the usual charge.
A grand consoo of the high officers and gentry of
the city has been held, at which the latter urgently
recommended an appeal to foreigners for assistance.
The Governor-General himself was in-favour of the
measure, but was deterred from acting upon it on
his own responsibility through dread of being re-
ported at the capital by a censor, the only dismal-
tient at the consoo, but a man of some standing,
and the same who penned the memorial which led
to Muh-chang-ah's degradation. Meanwhile, how-
ever, a report of the state of affairs and application
for ins truction*Uve been forwarded tio,Poicitti-'!'

THE BALTIC.

The weather in the Baltic is unusually bad and
stormy for the season of the year. Even the
Swedish packet steamer Nordstern, which reached
Stettin on the 22d, was compelled to take refuge on
its passage in a Swedish port. The usual period,
in ordinary times, for closing packet navigation be-
tween Stettin and Cronstadt, is the last Saturday in
October. After that time it is considered perilous to
continue the intercourse. In ordinary times also the
Russian fleets are dismantled and laid up for the
winter about the middle of this month. None
of their large ships would risk a cruise after the
15th of October.
According to commercial statements from Memel
the destructive fire has had no influence upon com-
mercial traffic. The place is crowded with Russian
produce, which it may be observed does not even
go through the form of changing hands before
shipment. Navigation, although attended with
risk, may remain open for a month, or perhaps
more ; and every effort will 13:) made to get off the
vast quantities of hemp, flax, linseed, and so forth,
which daily arrive from Russia for shipment.
