CONGRESS.

" In the House a message was received from the President, with a
large bundle of documents relating to the arrest of Mr. Greely, at
Fredericton, New Brunswick, and to the occupation of the disputed
territory lying between that province, of the State of Main, on the mo.
Lion of Mr. Evans, of the Main ; the Ist Feb. was named as the day
for taking up the subject."
The Cleveland Herald of the 22(1 says, " Our latest intelligence from
the seat of war is brought by Captain Cline, of the schooner While
Pigeon, which sailed from Detroit on Thursday night. He informs us
that the patriots were assembled at Gibraltar, and were about five hun-
dred strong."
The Quebec Papers of the 24th January, state, " we have been fa-
voured with a printed copy of a message of Sir Francis Bond Head to
the Legislative Council, dated January 12, 1838, on the subject of the
capture and destruction of the piratical steamer Caroline on the night of
the 29th Dec. last, with a copy of a communication to her Majesty's Minis-
ter at Washington, dated Bth January, 1838. The message and the docu.
ments accompanying it, afford new proof of the ability, activity, and
spirit of Sir Francis. It will enaole her Majesty's Minister at Wash.
ington to justify the attack on the steamer, although she happened at
the time to be moored within the limits of the United States.
The accounts received from Canada by the New York packet of the
Ist inst. are of a highly satisfactory nature, and we have no doubt that
before now the rebellion is entirely put down. A few dispersed fugitive
rebels may still be hovering about to find a place of refuge, which will
be very difficult for them to obtain, for the American Government is
friendly towards us, and the moment these few rebels put their feet on
the Americad ground they will be disarmed ; and, on the other side, the
British troops are pursuing them.
We have received New Brunswick Rapers to the 14th January. The
Assembly have under consideration a Bill to alter the present militia law,
and to authorise the raising of a volunteer corps in that province.
Halifax Papers, received to the 6th February, only contain the news
from Canada already published.

Although the news from Canada is of a very favourable nature, and
The Rebellion generally looked upon as being crushed, it had but very
little effect on the British Funds this morning.

one day, later from Montreal.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.--On Saturday night
another new successful piece was added to the repertoire
1:4 the theatre*, entitled " The Fatal Secret ; or, IN by did I
Listen"' The plot of this amusing trifle turns upon the nu.
kerous dilemmas into which an unfortunate wight, Mr. Blab-
:4! (Harley), is thrown by his loquacity. He is inflicted
with the mania of gossiping, and whilst making the most dan-
Eerous communications to every one he meets, he fancies that
,y are kept profound secrets. Seeing the weakness of Bk.
two friends, Templeman and Lovedale, (Webster and
italford), resolve to turn it to good account each to obtain his
the former to take away his inteisded bride, and the latter
41s sister. For. this purpose they concoct a tale, which they
"mmunicate to their dupe—namely, that the Town-hall,
‘‘'iliere be and a number of his friends are going to a grand
°,4,11, is to be blown up by a set of conspirators of the Guy
Fawkes school, and that the signal is to be the drinking of
the Mayor's health, but Blaball is cautioned on pain of death
not to communicate the secret. Nothing could be more ir-
resistibly comic than Harley's acting durinr, this part of the
asair; determined at all hazards to make the awful avowal to
11144 e his friends, he resolves to warn them of their fate, but his
'laudable intentions are frustrated by the interference of two
I°,licernen, who take him fora thief, and carry him off to
I.`'°n• He is, however, released by his friends, and con-
toctedto his own house, which he, in his agitation, supposes
fhe an asylum for mad people; in the end he is relieved
ron his apprehension and restored to reason upon seeing his
i-'l7llds not dug out of the ruins as he feared, but happy and
ic:,3' with the good things of which they had participated in
e Town-hall. Blaball makes the aniende for his little ec-
t"
itneutrieities by giving the band of his sister to Lovedale, and
Z"ellitnously resigning his intended bride to her more fa-
llted lover. The piece was quite successful, and caused
a
rs of laughter throughout.
t:CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—The opera of
o nce.rella, followed by the Loan of a Lover and the comedy
44.SznIpson and Co., have been performed at this theatre,
ip all the past week, to full houses. The principal characters
dis were well sustained. In the scene where Mrs Simpson
gresovers the pocket-book to be the property of Mr.. Bromley,
%toitHoney's personation of the jealous but affectionate wife was
Ltiable. The manner in which she loaded the bewildered
than(' with fond caresses, and the intense affection and de-
us which shone forth in her eye, were peculiarly her own,
ties gave the character a charm which we have never wit-
sett in any former representation.
.t.r.r here are at St. Petersburg 8,682 houses, of which
fa„,.4,re palaces belonging to the members of the Imperial
t,'"l'L 754 Government edifices, 38 belonging to different
elar?Parkies, and 7,850 private houses. There arc 151 paro-
-1,44 churches and chapels of the Greek rite, five of which be.
to lg. to the ancient sectarians ; and two churches for other
4/18 of worship.
