SICILY.

In sitting of the National Assembly at Palermo, of
the 20th ult., the Minister for Foreign Affairs made
the following announcement on the subject of the
negotiations with the Admirals :

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
Colonel Peel's Derby outsider, Indus, came with a rush
yesterday afternoon, the first quotation, we believe, being
40 to 1, taken to some hundreds, the last 25 to I,
layers; the least odds taken were 1,000 to 35. Ile was
also in favour for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes,
and is likely to see a better price than be is returned at
below. These movements did not prejudice Tadtnor, as
nu one would lay more than 13 to 2 agst him at the close.
A new outsider, Vatican, made his debut for the Derby
at 40 to 1, taken in several quarters. Apart from these
changes the betting was not important. We should state,
however, that Fernhill, Lugar, Executor, and Loapgarou
were in improved favour fur the engagements for which
we have quoted them, and that Dacia was in bad odour
for the Metropolitan. We subjoin the latest prices:—

QUEEN'S THEATRE, HULL, FRIDAY EVENING
MARCII 30, 1845.—The pei tortuances wire under the
patronage of Lieutenant-Colonel Wellesley and the
officers of her ➢lajt sty's 81st Regiment, by whose per-
mission the splendid hand of that corps was ill attendance,
and played several pietas, much to the gratification of
the auJience. The fashionable comedy of London

Assurance was well got up. Miss Guddurd, although
evidently labouring under severe indisposition, did nut
fail to exhibit many good points as Lady Gay Spanker,
whilst Mr. Stoyle was a perfect Spanker. Mr. W.
Artand enacted Mark Meddle so as to remind us of

--
our friend Wright. After the play Master Crouch gave
his solo on the violin, and on being encored, with a sur-
prising coolness in a boy of nine years of age, returned
previous to favouring the tudience with his second
performsnce. The Isvourite farce of How to Settle
Accounts with your Laundress, filo') h d the
evening's ent,rtaininents. The house was well
filled, and we were phased to observe the
()filet rs in full dress, who, as well as all the audience,

iippLar,d highly delighted with the evening's per-
formances. Tile mann( r, Mr. Caple, deserves great
credit for the matmt-r in which I,e produces every piece
he puts on the stage, the scenery, dresses, &c., being in
good keeping. We are glad to observe that 'notwith-
standing the ban the majority of the magistracy endea-
voured to put upon this establishment. that the en-
lightened tradesmen, &c., of Hull, have requested a be-

speak for Wednesday next, " being anxious to express
their sympathy for the great disappointment consequent
on the refusal by the magistrates of Mr. Caple's licence
for the entire year." We sincerely trust the house will
be a bumper.
The receipt of an unpaid letter during the present
period of cheap postage, is an event to induce the sus-
picion of premeditated annoyance, or a well-grounded
inference of ill-bred thoughtlessness. Yet such occur-
rences are not uutrequent from post-masters neglect-
ing to make the proper charge upon over-weight letters
at the time of pre-payment, and the innocent corres-
pondent obtains the ohliquy. The house of Walley and
Hardwick, the drapers, of Oxford-street, are in this pre-
dicament. It would seem that for some while past, their
agents have been collecting the stocks of once vast ma-
nufacturers, but now ruined French firms. and the
apprisal of this fact to the aristocracy was entrusted to
their Windsor correspondent, but from an admitted
error by the post-master there, a surcharge upon a
large nunaba of letters has been made to the distin-
guished recipients which has placed the house in qui-
Lion in an onerous (but it is to be hoped temporary)
Position with their lofty connexions. In thus awaken-
ing the attention of others who might inadvertently fall
into a similar dilemma, we are but doing an act of justice
to a young and enterprising firm in stating the real
nature of the mistake.—Evening Paper.
