THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

Mr. Charles Kean made his appearance last night for the
first time in the part of Romeo. The manner in which the
play was lot up. reflects a great deal of credit on the spirit and
taste of Mr. Webster.

Mr. Kean's Romeo was all that could be desired, and we
only regret that he should not have performed the part earlier
in the season. His appearance was prepossessing, and his
acting natural, no ever-straining to.catch a temporary applause,
no unnatural fits and starts, throughout the whole performance
he was powerful and pathetic, and gave the more impassioned
parts with justness of conception, and a vigour of execution,
seldom equalled and rarely surpassed. In the last scene espe-
cially, in which Mr. Kean evidently exerted all his powers,
the Romeo of the poet was realised and personified by the actor
with admirable fidelity. The Juliet of Miss Ellen Tree was
in every way worthy of Kean's Romeo. The Mercutio of
Wallack was full of gentlemanly spirit and wayword humour,
and elicited much applause. The other parts were well sus-
tained, particularly that of the Nurse, by Mrs. Clifford, and
at the fall of the curtain, Mr. Kean and Miss Tree, who were
loudly called for, came forwa d and made their bow.

RIOT AT HAWICK.

At the polling at Hawick on Thursday, some
disturbance took place, in consequence of the
mob in caking the windows of the Tower Inn, and
hustling and annoying the electors of both parties
as they came forward to the polling booth.
About thirty of the police of Edinburgh were sent
out, for the purpose ofpreserving the peace, under
the orders of Sergeant P. Mackay, and they wF re
required by the Sheriff, to prevent the 111 P J from
breaking the windows of' the inn. They
accord-
ingly proceeded to act under the orders of
the Sheriff, but it was evident to the authorities
that their single force could not put down the
riot, and, accordingly, a 4:tespatch was sent for a
troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who were sta-
tioned about threg )niles from the town. The
dragoons wQrti speedily brought, to Hawick,
headed by the Marquis of Lothian, and, by
their great coolness and good discipline, dis-
persed the mob without any injury being done
to any one. Similar disturbances oce'ar.red
on Friday afternoon, with rather mor-: aggre-
vated circututttitnees. As the E`'.'inburo po-
lice oeiociv were leaving file town, potties,
Wick- bats, and other
the omnibuses '
Tv. Lssiles, were thrown at
and, had the ..nich the men were seated,
-
not been protected by the dra-
P°-„q -
it is probable that some of them would
.nave been seriously hurt. The affray became so
serious that the Sheriff considered it necessary
to read the Riot Act, and to warn the people of
their improper conduct. The dragoons were
ordered to clear the streets, which they effected
• without any injury to the people, and no further
disturbance took place.—Scotch Paper.

impending change of administration in this country.
These conjectures are, however, altogether unfounded.
We are informed, on authority which may not be dis-
credited, that the presence of King Leopold has refer-
ence to affairs in which he has a direct interest himself,
as concerning his kingdom of Belgium, and in 'which
moreover Louis Philippe, his Royal father-in-law, and
France, would seem to take a more lively interest still.
We allude to the demolition of the fortifications
of the frontier towns of Belgium. The convention
which seated King Leopold on the throne of that realm,
contained stipulations between the contracting parties.
of whom he and the King of the French were of course
two of the principal, providing not only that the fortifi-
cations of those towns should be dismantled, but razed.
The grounds for such precautions were obviously rea-
sonable, since in the hands of the Belgian Government
they were utterly unserviceable as a barrier against pos-
sible aggression on the side of France, and therefore
worse than useless in the sense of that indirect guaran-
tee for the general peace and security which their former
conservation under a different state of things involved.

ELECTIONEERING,

The undue influence over several electors, which Lord
Howick, at the Northumberland hustings, charged Lord
Ossulston's party with, appears in another part of The
Sun. Lord Ossulston has pledged himself to publish
all correspondence bearing on the subject.
Mr. Punter, at the West Cornwall hustings, thus
spoke of the House of Commons and its Members :
" The House of Commons may be properly regarded as
a grand national inquest, chosen for the purpose of judg-
ing for the people between the great political leaders of
both sides. Too many talkers are found there already.
Men of correct judgment are wanted ; the fewer speakers
the better."

The Tories have already commenced the Peterloo
system ; at Hawick, in Scotland, the Lord Lieutenant
of Roxburghshire entered the town at the head of a
troop of dragoons to put down an electioneering squabble.
Some of them rode at the people trampling them down,
and among others severely cutting two, one a harmless
old man. They rode up to the windows and thrust
their swords through them. In less than five minutes
after the troops had turned barricades were thrown
across the street, and if they had returned they would
have been received with fire arms. Will the Tory-Char-
tists side with their friends in this game ?

" Mrs. Trullope has never chosen a better subject for the
clis?lay of her great and varied powers than in these Adven-
tures of a Youth of Genius.' We hate perused her pages with
great admiration at the variety, the vigour, the individuality,
and the truth of the portraits here placed before us; the inven-
tion and the dramatic tact displayed in the incidents and situa-
tions ; the forcible humour and cutting satire of many of the
scenes (especially those connected with the literary coteries) ;
and the remarkable originality ilisplaled throughout, in tee
whole conception and execution of the work. The whole has
a strength and stamina about it, which bespeak fur it a perma-
nent place among the prose fictions of the day. The comic
embellishments by P►ris are numerous and excellent, and will
greatly add to the attraction of the work."—Naval and Mili-

HER MAJESTY'S
SPEECH.

" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
" We are commanded by her Majesty to ac-
quaint you that it appears advisable to her
Majesty to bring to a close the present Session
of Parliament.
" In conformity with the advice of her Parlia-
ment, and in pursuance of the declared inten-
tions of her Majesty, her Majesty has taken the
-requisite measures for the formation of a New
Administration, and the arrangements for that
purpose have been completed by her Majesty.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
" have it in command from her Majesty to
thank you for the Supplies which you have
granted to her Majesty for those branches
of the public service for which complete provi-
sion had not been made by the late Parliament.
"MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, -
" The measures which it will be expedient to
adopt for the purpose of equalising the Public
Income and the Annual Expenditure, and other
important objects connected with the Trade and
Commerce of the country will necessarily oc-
cupy your attention at an early period after the
Recess.
" Her Majesty has commanded us to repeat the
expression of her deep concern at the distress
which has prevailed for a considerable period in
some of the principal manufacturing districts, and
to assure you that you may rely upon the cordial
concurrence of her Majesty in all such measures
as shall appear, after mature consideration, best
calculated to prevent the recurrence of that dis-
tress, and to promote the great object of all her
Majesty's wishes—the happiness and content-
ment of her people.'

NOTICES OF MOTION.

Mr. WAKLEY gave notice that he would early next
Session move for a radical reform in the mode of re-
turning Members to serve in Parliament ; for a repeal of
the Septennial Act ; for an extension of the Suffrage,
and for Vote by Ballot.
Mr. HAWES, in pursuance of a notice which he had
given, moved for returns of the highest and lowest prices
of wheat in Paris and Rouen, in each year since the
passing of the Act 9 Ge0..1V., c. 60, in foreign and Bri-
tish measure and money. --
In answer to a question from Mr. WALKER, relating
to the exportation of machinery,
Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE said that, in consequence
of the many questions before the Board of Trade, it was
impossible to come to any decision in reference to the
course to be taken on the subject, and that no measure
was in contemplation with respect to the exportation of
machinery.

not learnt this lesson as to ocietv, a sub-

and they insist with a truly barbarous and
ignorant disposition, on stretching out its ears,
flattening its skull, widening its nose, cutting off
its fingers, and crippling its feet. The patient

out with agony; but, callous as an Indian,-they

Some persons allege, as an excuse for their
cruelty or their 'indifference, that an alteration

We have received " A letter containing a truer account
of the outrage committed on Mr. Harar, the chemist,
by a policeman, than appeared in the Timex," and
purporting to come from that gentleman, but it is not

PAYING FOR PEEPING.-A tradition in Italy
reported that Pope Clement, anxious to know the secrets
of the other world, consulted one of his most faithful
chaplains. This religious confidant, who appears to
hare been as complaisant as the character of whom Pope
says

And bid him go to hell, to hell he goes,"
procured a necromancer, who took him down to the in-
fernal regions, and there showed him a red-hot habita-
tion, which the devils were constructing for his master,
Clement. After this intelligence, it is said that the Pope
never smiled curing the rest of his life. It is certain
that he died with a troubled conscience.—Campbelts Life

The Distillers of Ireland held large meetings at
Dublin on Tuesday and Wednesday last, for the purpose
of bringing before the Government the depressed con-
dition of their trade, arising from the state of the law as

Scotland.

LIGHT READING,

THE BITER BIT.—A good story is told of a chap in
North CarolinA who went the entire figure in the way
of marrying all the girls who would have him, without
waiting for any of them to die off as the law dirocted.
After having married the thirteenth, some of his first
lovers came down upon him and had him lodged in
gaol. But a person so fond of perfect liberty, and who
could get into Hymen's noose with such ease, found little
difficulty in getting out of the jug, and the next news
of him he was running at large with a heavy reward
offered for his apprehension. He was shortly recog-
nized by a gentleman, who, anxious; to get the reward,
invited him to his house, desired him to sit down, called
his wife to chat with him as an inducement to detain
him there, while he made some excuse for leaving a few
minutes and starting for a constable to arrest the run-
away. What was the poor man's astonishment on re-
turning with the constable, to find that the gay Lo-
thario, taking advantage of his short absence, had ab-
sconded with his wife! This makes the fellow's stock
on hand fourteen!

COGENT.—A country editor in the State of New
York complains that !ales' bonnets now are so small
that they will hold but one face at a time.
ELOQUENCE.—The following touch of the sublime'
was delivered before a Court of Justice in Pennsyl•
vania

Your Honour sits high upon the adorable seat of
justice like the Asiatic Rock of Gibraltar, while the
eternal streams of justice, like the cadaverous clods of
the valley, flow meandering at your extended feet."

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.—The Portland Argus
relates an amusing case, in which a beggar in that city
received what he asked for, but not what he wished
for :

A few days ego, a full grown able-bodied man pre-
sented himself at the door of one of our citizens, and
solicited the lady of the house to give him two cents.
She remarked that she had none, and inquired what he
wanted of them. 'To buy a dose of castor oil, unarm,
(was the reply) for I am dreadful sick.'
" The lady bad no cents. but she had plenty of oil ;
and she prepared him a stiff dose. He tried hard to
get excused from taking it ; but she was firm, he was a
sick man, and it must go down. The loafer found he
was caught in bis own trap : and where he meant to
have a glass of liquor, he got a dose of physic ; but,
making a virtue of necessity, and with sundry wry
faces, be gulped it down and c!eared. He'll not cal
at that house again, we dare say."

IloantaLE.—A woman who has been residing in this
city for the last year, was arrested on Wednesday even-
ing, charged with having committed three murders be-
fore her removal thither! The murders were com-
mitted some two years since, according to the evidence
against her. We are acquainted with the circumstances,
but as others arc implicated who are now at large, we
arc requested not to make them public.—. Rochester
Democrat.

CHEAP T RAVELLING.—Since the opening of
the Manchester and Leeds Railway, last week, passengers
have been conveyed by that route the whole distance troni
Maqehester to London for 21?.

IRELAND.

Duntix, MARCH 10.—Lord Morpeth has transmitted to
Mr. Purcell lOU towards the funds of the new Agricultural
Improvement Society; and Col. Wyndham, who has large es-
tates in this country, has sent a subscription to the same amount.
The concluQion of the trial of the three persons charged with
the attempt on the life of Mr. Biddulph occupied the whole of
Monday. The defence set up by the prisoners was an alibi,
and, the Chief Justice having summed up the evidence, the
Jury retired. After some delay, his Lordship sent for them,
and, being told that there was no likelihood of their agreeing,
they were ordered to be locked up for the night. The follow-
ing morning, at nine o'clock, the Chief Justice came into Court,
and, the names of the Jury having been called over, they were
asked, in the, usual manner, whether they had agreed. The
foreman replied that they had not, and never would. His Lord-
ship then ordered the Jury to be discharged, and the prisoners
to be remanded until next assizes, when they will be again put
on their trial.

COUNTY OF MAYO.-Mr. Justice Ball, in addressing the
Grand Jury, congratulated them upon the lightness of the ca-
lendar. There were in all but twenty-nine cases for trial, and
of these one-half were petty larcenies, and comparatively trivial
crimes of that nature.

THE FALLS OF NIAGARA.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
GULLIBILITY.—Some of the papers this morning centain
what is called an extra from the " office of the Advertiser, Buf-
falo, Feb. 14, four o'clock," giving an account of the destruc-
tion of the Falls of Niagara. A slight glance at it will con-
vince any one that it is a hoax, arid by no means a good one,
got up by some witting who probably never saw the Falls. We
will point out a few of the indicia leading to this conclusion.
1. The article was not written, although purporting to
have been, by the editor of the Buffalo Commercial Adver-
tiser. We know his style too well. He never deals in such
inflated, windy language as the account presents.
2. The extra purposes to he dated at Buffalo on Sunday
evening, at four o'clock, and it was received in this city last
evening. This could not be done.
•3. " Biddle Tower and all the adjoining ground-work had
disappeared." Mr. Biddle never built a tower at the Falls.
Some years ago he caused to be built a staircase on Goat
Island, leading down to the Falls, which goes by his name.
4. " The water made a subterraneous passage, and burst
through the wall of Goat Island." Absurd.
5. " The hotel is gone. It is believed no lives have been
lost." The last clause is correct ; there can have been no lives
lost, because therewas no hotel to be carried away. The near-
est hotel is the Clifton House, far below the Falls.

_„
P. S.--Since the above was in type the northern mail, only
due this afternoon, has arrived, and brouaht us the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser of Saturday evening, the latest which
could be expected. The Albany papers of yesterday are silent
on the subject. The hoax was probably got up in this city.
