TARATRE ROYAL, DRITRY-LANE.—THIS the SULTAN from internal dissension as from ex-

to acknowledge the almost unparalleled support with which his en- ternal aggression—that it is as well calculated to

Drury have been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dis- control an unruly and excitable mob within the
criminating audiences, who have nightly hailed the appearance of
Mr. G. V. Brooke in the varied Shaksperlan and other illustrations precincts
of Constantinople as to impose a check
of the national drama, which that eminent actor has had the honour on Russia and to p R • prevent her naval from co-ope-

necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-

An Eccentric Scene, by Mr. NEWSOME,

costume, terminating with a rapid and splendid change, in order to
give greater effect to this novel equestrian act.
EATON STONE,
the distingulihed Indian Horseman of the Cemanches, will perform
his peculiar and dare-devil Exploits on his wild Prairie Horse, caus-
ing him to pound over a succession of high harriers, keeping time
himself with the animal, springing from his back to the ground, and
back again, jump for jump, over six elevated Planks, and through
various Balloons, situated around the Circle. The performance of
this Artist is quite unique, and unapproached by any other person—
they are altogether so much out of tae usual course of the Circ!e,
that they cannot be credited without being seen. Mr. Stone pre-

if more were required—if the just and reasonable
demands were urged with sufficient energy to pre-
vent their being postponed or disregarded, a fit of
virtuous indignation was the result, because, for-
sooth, " the good intentions of his Imperial
Majesty should not be questioned or impeached."
Poor JERRY CASEY was not more unfortunate in
the numerous applications to his trans-Shan-

pleasant Gentleman, from the neighbourhood of
Loughrea, who was offended at the indelicacy of
the unfortunate tailor's application, because seven

his susceptible feelings to be reminded of the
event, his frail spouse having levanted with a half-
pay officer in the interim," The Russian Minis-

ter was, perhaps, equally beholden to the example
! of the respectable and considerate Mr. BRANIGAN,
who assured the trembling snip that "he trusted
the tenants might not hear of the demand, as, if
they did, he could not, although actuated by the
most friendly feelings, answer for the safety
of his misguided creditor !" Astonishment
i at the indelicacy of the demand, or indignation at
its audacity, formed the usual routine of answers.
A mixture of bullying and cajolling, of blustering
and encouraging vague expectations, without any
notion of fulfilling them in any point, were deemed
sufficient for the representatives of the country
once known as Great Britain. It was the suppo-
sition that, under any circumstances, we would
not or could not engage in war—a delusion lat-

the Peace Society, and the pusillanimity of Lord

ABERDEEN—that prompted NICHOLAS to persevere;
