TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—having been much satisfied with the course
which you adopted in vindicating the cause: of M. de
Lamartine, as also the cause of pure democracy gene-
rally, during the French Revolution last year, I became
a constant reader of your paper; but I must say that
during the last few weeks I have been much annoyed.
and, indeed, astonished, at the way in which you have
taken up the Roman and Tuscany question. The lead-
ing article in your paper of yesterday is perfect! out-
rageous on this subject, vindicating a system offoreign
intervention to force the Romans sad the people of Tus-
cany to form a monarchical form of Government, when
they prefer a Republic. Why do you not allow them the
same latitude of acting for themselves as you advocated
for the French? lam sure they are going as quietly
and systematically to work. If they prefer a Republic
why not let them have it r I repeat that lam surprised it
your reactionary and aristocratic course during the last
few weeks on this point. I trust you will see the neces-
sity of retracing your steps, and adopt the same course
with the Romans which you adopted with the French.
It is no argument to say that the Pope was a liberal
man; or that the Grand Duke of Tuscany was a liberal
man; it is the principle, and not the men, whichiwe ought
to look at. I hope to see the Republic as represented
and enforced by M. de Lamartine, carried out in every
country, Britain not excepted, before many years. I
think the Romans are in a very fair way, with the ex-
ception of the murder of Rossi (which is to be re-
gretted), they have been extremely moderate ;
the murder of Rossi was an individual act, and ought not
to be taxed upon the whole country or any portion of
it, at all events not the parties who have been in
power. Have they been guilty of any of the wholesale
butcheries and fiendish actions of the Austrian Govern-
ment? No. And yet these atrocities are palliated, and
the poor Romans, because they are a handful compara-
tively speaking, are to be trodden down, shame! If you
do not assist them in their struggle for liberty let them
alone. As to restoring the Pope it is out of the question,
his time is up; the 1,260 years which heaven was to
allow him to reign over the consciences of mankind is
completed—health and fraternity.
A CONSTANT READER.
Liverpool, Feb. 21, 1849.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
Shave You Directly is the title of a new farce which
was produced here last evening, and the Shaver is a lady,
one Barbara Sharp (Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam), who
has inherited the business of a village barber fro* her
father, and who shaves and captivates all the beard
wearers in the district. Her most persevering suitor it
the village schoolmaster, Blott (Mr. Harley), who makes
love after a most quaint and amusing fashion of his
own; but the favoured lover is Cornet Walter Brown, of
the Duke of Marlborough's Guards (Mr. Charles
Mathews), who, jilted by a former mistress,
and breathing revenge against the former mis-
tress's husband, comes to the village to indulger
in his melancholy, and then almost unwittingly
falls in love with the pretty Barbara, and kisses and
toys with her while-lamenting the inconstancy of his lost'
Amelia. The ssid Amelia (Miss IL Gilbert), who is a
friend of Barbara, arrives at the village with her hus-
band Quillett, a lawyer (Mr. H. Roxhy), and on dis-
covering that Walter is there, Quillett, afraid of a duel,
endeavours to bolt, whilst Amelia disguises herself in
male attire in order to get back certain letters which
Walter has in his possession. Her husband returns, and
Barbara immediately commences shaving the disguised
Amelia. Walter is announced, and to escape his
pursuit Quillett disguises himself as Barbara's
assistant, and commences shaving the schoolmaster.
Walter recognizes Amelia, and procures a promise of a
meeting as the price of his silence, and Barbara, under
pretence of dressing his hair for this meeting, crops it
as short as a charity boy's, and consequently expose.
him to the ridicule of Amelia. The piece ends of course
with the marriage of Barbara and Walter, who at
length becomes aware of the secret of his heart. There
aro two very pretty songs introduced into;thelfarce; they
are the compositions of Mr. E. Fitzwilliam, and were de-
lightfully given by Miss K. Fitzwilliam. The melody
of the last song, " I love him," is exceedingly
graceful. It was rewarded with an enthu-
siastic encore. The farce was completely successful.
The fiftieth representation of the superb spectacle of
The King of the Peacocks followed, in which Madan%
Vestris, Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, Miss J. Coleman.
Miss Howard, Harley, John Reeve, and Selby, sus-
tained their respective characters with infinite spirit.
The piece goes as freshly as it did the first week it was
represented. It has not yet half run its course. The
house was crowded.

ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—At twelve o'clock.
yesterday the iron ship Loharee, late from Calcutta, bavinif
discharged a cargo of sugar, was being towed from the 61.
Kathsrine's-docks, but as soon as she arrived in the stream
of the river a squall of wind caught her on the broadside and
blew her over on the larboard side, keel above water; fortu--
nately a barge was on that aide of the ship, and received on
her deck the masts and yards of the ship—thus she was saved,
from sinking ; in this state she was towed on shore near St.
Saviour's Dock, where she now lies. Mr. Rowland, acting
harbour-master, has given the assistance of the mocring-ctsin
lighters, with which the owner, Mr. Wawn, expects that she
will be righted again by to-day's tide.
