SURREY.

During the last week the play-going folks at the Surrey
have been amused by interesting dramas, combining incidents
rather at variance with those nautical and national adventures
which enabled T. P. Cooke, the dramatic hero of the sea, to
display his talent in the bold and warlike character of a hardy
tar. After the stories of old Charles Dibdin had been over-
hauled for Poll and my Partner Joe, Tom Tackle, the Ocean
of Life, and other materials, a dish of novelty, under the name
of The Terrible Unknown, garnished with the Inquisition,
murder, treachery, and just retribution, was not a bad offering
to the gourmands who have a perpetual appetite for melo-
drama.' Another bonne bouche was called The Gipsies of
Languedoc, the scenery of which is ly.autiful. In both pieces
that clever actress Miss Macarthy sustained the principal cha-
racters with impressive effect. The concluding story of Guy
Fawkes, with 0. Smith (the best Guido on the stage), gave
general satisfaction. The appearance of tlis conspirator, in
his stage costume, is terrible indeed ; and many of our mo-
dern Senators may congratulate themselves on being safe at
the present day from the machinations of such a desperado.
On Saturday evening we witnessed the above performances,
and observed that the audience were delighted with the efforts
made for their amusement. Davidge—in his excellent ma-
nagement of the Theatre— has required further assistance
from his able ally, T. P. Cooke, who will enter again upon
the domain of Neptune, and' eep up the spirit of the British
Navy.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, MAY 7.—A violent storm, accompanied with
much hail, passed over Brussels yesterday afternoon at five
o'clock. The claps of thunder were very frequent and loud.
The hail, which fell for a' quarter of an hour, and was very
large, has done great damage in the fields and gardens near
the city.

rived yesterday at Laeken, from Ante err,
The llironiteur publishes this morning the law for the making
of new roads, by means of a loan of 8,000,000 f.
The Deputation sent from Verviers to protest against the
project of law modifying the Belgian Tariff of Customs, re-
turned to Verviers a few days ago. The Deputation had an
audience of the King and of the Minister of the Interior. The
King listened to their observations with great attention, and
promised to take them into consideration. His Majesty con-
versed a long time with them on the state of the Manufactories,
of their wants, and of the means of procuring a market for
their productions. The Deputies were fully convinced that
the King thoroughly understands the situation of the woollen
manufacture, and takes a lively interest in its prosperity. In
their interview with M. de Theux, the Deputies very power-
fully urged the objections to the article of the proposed law
which relates to the abolishing of the prohibition to import
French woollen cloths we doubt not that they have shaken
his opinion, and at least that he %lin not demand the speedy
discussion of the law.

(From the Austrian Obsuven)
_ _

Accounts from Patras of the 18th April, corning from a re-
sponsible source, seem to prove that the troubles in Greek
Roumelia are on the point of being wholly terminated. The
judicious measures of the King's Government have not failed
to produce the desired effect. The Roumeliot and Suliot
Chiefs, to whom it confided the execution of the difficult task,
easily collected the number of troops required. Divided int.)
three bodies, they immediately proceeded to attack the rebels
near Lepanto, without regard to the difficulties which the
nature of the country itself opposed to them. The rebels, so
long as they met with no resistance, had boldly refused obe-
dience to the existing order of things, but they abandoned
with equal cowardice their advantageous position on the ap-
proach of the King's troops, by whom they were incessantly
pursued, abandoned by the peasants, who had not joined them
except by absolute compulsion, and even by many of their own
partisans, who thought it more advisable to enlist under the
Royal Standard. The main body of the rebels is reduced to
2 or 300 men, some of whom have shut themselves up in the
monastery of Varitadse, near Vorictza, and were endeavouring- to
put it into a state of defence. The remainder have intrenched
themselves in the village of Trinochoieo ; but they are sur-
rounded by about 2,000 of the King's troops, and as their
stock of ammunition and provisions is small, they will hardly
he able to hold out long. Whether they will surrender at
discretion, or endeavour, under cover of the night, to open
themselves a passage by the sand, will soon appear. In the
latter case they may, perhaps, try to escape into the Turkish
territory, there to recommence their robberies. It seems,
however, that the Vizier of Roumelia, anticipating the possi-
bility of such a result, has collected a sufficient force on the
frontiers to prevent their entrance. Thus the revolutionary
attempt of the Constitutional party has again failed. It had
undoubtedly very extensive ramifications, not only in Greek.
Roumelia, but even in the Peloponnesus. The majority of
the disinterested party, who, in consequence of the recent
regulations of the Government find means of gaining their
livelihood in an honourable manner by enlisting in the
King's service, are now as sincerely attached to the Go-
vernment as they were before hostile to it. A great
number of officers, distinguished during the war at the
commencement of the Greek insurrection, who have
hitherto been destitute of the necessary means of support,
are also restored to their former rank in the army.
These and other judicious measures authorise the well-founded
hope that order and tranquillity will be permanently estab-
lished in the kingdom.
