EXTRAORDINARY PERFORIIIANC

THE RAILWAY.

MANCHESTER, SATURDAY EYENING.A feat, sur-
passing all former performanees on the railway, has, this
day, taken place on the Livespeol<aed • Manchester Rail-
way. The Sampson and Goliah, two of Mr. Stephenson's
engines, undertook to convey a thousand bags of New
Orleans cotton float Liverpool to Manchester. They
started together from Liverpool at eight o'clock this morn-
ing, and proceeded at a brisk pace to the foot of the in-
clined plane, eight miles from Liverpool, the Sampson
draggiog a train of 30 loaded waggons, and the Goliah 27.
The Goliah was then detached from its load, and assisted
the Sampson up the inclined plane. The latter then pro.
ceeded on its journey, and arrived at IVlanchester at half-
pact eleven. A considerable number of spectators had
assembled to witness its arrival. The Goliah, being left
without assistance, carried its load up the inclined plane at
three trips, and did not reach Manchester until half-past
one, having been delayed a considerable time by a slight
accident to the machinery. The progress of both machines
was very considerably delayed by a strong north •east wind,
which blew right against them, and by the extreme slip-
periness of the rails, which had been %vet by several slight
showers of rain in the course of the morning. ,
The total number of bags of cotton brought by the two
engines was 1,035. Of these the Sampson brought 549.
The precise weight of each load has not yet been ascer-
tained; but aS each bag of American cotton averages four
cwt.:, the following may be considered a correct estimate
of the Sampson's load :

AN APOLOGY.---Witen JOHN CLERK (Lord
FLO,N) was at the bar, I:e was remarked for the sung
fi:oid with which he treated the Judges. On one occasion,
junior Counsel, on hearing their Lordships give judgment
~ainst his client, exclaimed that " he was surprised at
such a decision t" This was construed into contempt of
Court, and he was ordered to attend at the bar next morn-
in, Fearful of the consequences, he consulted his friend
irons CLERK,. who told him to be perfectly at ease, for he
would apolootse for JIM' in a way that would avert any
unpleasant result. Accordingly, Wherct the name of the
delinquent was called, Jon s rose and addressed the
assembled tribunal lam very sorry, my Lords, that
my young friend has so far forgot himself, as to treat your
lionourablek-nch with disrespect ; he is extremi ly penitent,
and you will kindly ascribe his unintentional insult to his
ignorance. you must see at once that it did originate in
that. pe said lie was surprised at the decision of your

THE THEATRES.

DR UR Y-LANE.
A clew and very successful Easter piece was last night
produeed. It is entitled The lee Witch ; or, the Frozet
Hand, and is founded on a tale which appeared some time
since in The 01M. Druda, the Ice Witch, (Miss Faucir).
has long been enamoured of the adventurous Sea-king.
Harold (Mr. H. WALLACK), who, in one of his predatory
excursions, is wrecked on the ice in the Scandinavian Sea
He, and his henchman, Magnus Snoro, (Mr. HARLEY).
are the only individuals n•Lo e cape destruction. Cast
upon a frozen and inhospitable shore, they fear that their
existence can be prolongued but for a very short time.
when Hecla, (Mrs. W . BARRI3IOILE), one of the Druda's
sttendant spirits, appears to Magnus Snoro, cheers and
refreshes him, at she same time that Druda ministers
similar comforts to _Harold, his commander. Harold
soon becomes weary of Druda's meretricious passion—he
sighs to be restored to the society of Ulla ; and Magnus
Snoro, begins to feel a strong hankering after Minna,
his first mistress. T. punish the ingratitude of Harold,
the Ice Witch, by her demoniacal agency, freezes his left
hand, and dismisses hien with the dreadful sentence that
whomsoever he touched with that hand should die. Heela,
imposes a milde•-, thou: h a very end) errassing, punish.
ment on Magnus Snoro, she encircles him with an icy•
atmosphere, which has the property of producing a most
chilling effect on all who came within its influence. Thus.
" coldly fuinisbed," the hero and his follower arrive in
Norway. Harold immediately learns that his mistress,
U/la, daughter of Steen°, and her attendant Minna, had
been violently abducted by Gruthioff, a barbarous High-
land Chief. Harold is on the point of sinking under the
treachery' praetised against him by one of his opponent's
officers, when he seizes the highland chief with the fr, 'Lt.!)
hand, and del): ives him of life. Steen° is anxious that the
victor and his rescued daughter should, cn the instant, he.
united; end callson Harold to give her his left, the fresco
hand. While he is endeavouring to evade the proposition,
the Ice Witch appears, and forces the chilling hand of
death into the proffered hand of the expecting bride:— She '
and her hapless lover sink lifeless on the earth, but the
Sun God, the great enemy of the Ire Witch, hastens to
their relief, defeats the machinations of their persecutor,
and restores tl e lovers to life and happiness. The piece,-
we understand, is written by Mr. BUCNSTONE. It is rather
more amusing that to ill s of this kind generally are. Some
of the scenery deserves praise.

CO VENT-GARDEN.
The Easter piece at this theatre is called Neuha's
Cave ; or the South Sea Mutineers. It is founded, in.
some respects, upon Lord Britotst's poem of The Island.
The principal characters arc Neuha, the daughter of the
King of Tooboonai (Miss TAYLOR) ; Torquil (Mrs.
ViNnic), the lover of Neteha, third mate of the ship, who
refuSes to join the mutineers; Spraling (Mr. G. BEN-
NETT), who answers to the Christian of the history, and
leads the mutiny. The . serious part of the drama is en-
livened by the customary whimsicalities of Mr. KEELEY,
as Mr. Pimpernal Chickweed, gardener to the expe-
dition, and of Ludwig Gompertz (Mr. F. MarrHEws).
an old German, who has been shipwrecked rn the island,
and has become Lord Chamberlain or Prime Minister to
his Majesty of Tooboonai. Miss TAYLOR and Mrs.
VINING played very will ; Mr. G. BENNETT was, as
too vehement ; and Mr. KEELEY, who is to Ester
pieces what GRIMALDI used to be to those of Christmas,
irresistibly droll. The scenery, the great merit of such
representations as this, was particularly good. The whole
affair went off extremely well, and the play was announced
for repetition until furater notice with great applause.
