THE THEATRES.

HER MAJESTY'S.
Torquato Tasso was repeated on Saturday night, and
drew a good but not a crowded audience. Although the
Queen and Prince Albert were not present, the boxes
were well filled by fashionable occupants, including the
Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess
Augusta, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duchess of Suther-
land, the Marquis of Normanby, &e. The Duchess of
Cambridge has changed her usual scat for a box next but
one to that of the Queen Dowager. There was not the
slightest variation in the cast of the opera; but the sing-
ing on the whole was better.
The haVet was The Gypsy, in which Fanny Eisler
made her first appearance this season. She was wel-
comed with great enthusiasm, and returned the compli-
ment by performing her part with great spirit and grace.

DRURY-LANE.
The Poor Gentleman and The Mountain Sylph were
announced for performance on Saturday night. The house,
however, was cicsed, and the following placard was stuck
up:--" The public is respectfully informed, that from un-
avoidable circumstances the theatre will not be opened this
evening." We know not what these unavoidable circum-
stances arc, but it certainly appears very improper
that the public should be requested to come and see
certain performances, and when they come be thus
disappointed. A Sunday paper, however, attempts to
explain the conduct of the Committee of Management in
this way :

On Friday night the Committee of Management met
for the purpose of advising as to the best means of
carrying on the theatre after the departure of Mr. Mac-
ready. They found that they had just been able to clear
sufficient to pay the reduced salaries of the actors, and
1001., the rent of the theatre. Upon making this known
to the general body, they with one consent resolved that
the 100/. should be handed over to Mr. Macready, in tes-
timony of their approval of his manly conduct in volunteer-
ing to play without emolument.

The. Committee refused this, upon the ground of
a prior agreement with the renters. Thus the Com-
mittee and the general beiy joined issue upon
these premises—the first alleging that they were doing
justice to the whole body, and the last stating that they
(the Committee) were looking to their own interests solely
in thus supporting the interests of the renters only.
It was suggested to the actors generally that they should
go on till Easter with half salaries, hilst the renters
should, at the same time, receive the whole amount of rent
duo weekly. If such a plan anti proposed by the Com-
mittee, we sec at once a good reason for the actors'. dissa-
tisfaction, 'as surely they should not be the only and sole
losers by the late unfortunate events. Why should not
the renters participate in the misfortune as well as the
prosperity of the theatre? Thus, through unforeseen mis-
fortue, this theatre will remain closed until some spirited
manager comes forward with funds and judgment sufficient
to meet the urgency of the case.

STRAND.
The Great Wizard of the North attracted on Saturday
night, as usual, a great crowd of witnesses to his wonder
ful performances, Since we saw him last the tricks
have been much varied, but they still preserve their ori-
ginal character. They are performed with the most ad-
mirable dexterity and neatness, and though the numerous
audiences watch every performance with the greatest at-
tention, and the utmost desire to find out how they are de.
ceived, not one of them has been able to discover a flaw
or a chink which will let them into the secret. The gun.
trick has been prai'ed as the most wonderful of all, yet
there are others still more astonishing. John Chinaman's
operations are quite incomprehensible, so are the hide-and-
seek play of the guinea-pigs, and the oranges and lemons,
with the rings and handkerchiefs just handed down to the
Sorcerer, all coming out of the fruit as snug and compact
as if they had grown with it on the tree. The house was
crowded in every part, and though the performances lasted
for more than three hours, the audience at the last looked
anxious for another trick.

A. FIGHTING PREACH R.—Daniel Vodry, a
handicraftsman of the lower regions, a collier, was charged by
Thomas Mountfeird with an assault. It appeared Vodry passed
the complainant on the road, when he vociferated something
about a certsin drinking propensity, which was taken in dud-
geon by his reverence, who, instead of displaying the meek-
ness which is expected from such an exalted character, lie
jumped over the spars of Mountford's wood team, and laid
about him most furiously, by knocking the body of 'his frail
brother in the dust, and moreover seizing his whip and casti-
gating him on the spot, and lest he had not inflicted stripes
sufficient, he revived the rod of his correction, and inflicted
sundry and divers blows with the butt-end, to the no small
annoyance of his erring brother.— Staff°, d Gazette.
A GOOD APPETITE—On Saturday last, at
the Butchers' Arms public-house, in Exeter, a man, named
William Webber, undertook for a trifling wager, to eat a roast
pig of ten pounds weight, with a half-quartern loaf, and a
quantity of potatoes. The pig was procured and dressed, and
the fellow actually succeeded in eating all but l lb., but could
get no further. A limited time was allowed for the accom-
plishment of the task, and in the intervals of eatingloVethsliido
er
amused himself by drinking beer and smoking his pipe outside
weightnntorio(u

the door of the house, and having thus refreshed himself, he
would return to the work with renewed vigonr.l-

UN-ENGLISH PRACTICE.—The substitution
of the knife and the dagger for the fist, has been gaining
in En
gland ever since the Peace when
"fights " either
for fun or money grew out of favour. At the Essex Assizes
just terminated, Sir John Tyrrell, the foreman, in delivering
the presentment,
remarked, that he was requested by the jurors
to call his Lordship's attention to the fact that in most of the
cases of common assault the offendingl parties had had recourse
to sharp instruments, which formerly was as of rare occurrence.
They had deemed it right to notice that fact,. but thought it un-
necessary to make mention of P ntment.—Lord
Abinger observed that " it showed
the
depravity of the persons
using such weapons." No doubt this
foreign
fashion is a hun-
dred-times worse than the good old plan when fair fighting was
he bold Briton's boast.
THE WEATHER,--The weather of the last two
weeks has been delightful, generally quite clear and of a season-
able temperature; the pressure as shown by the barometer has
been remarkably high and steady, and is consequent on the
easterly wind, from which quarter it has not once varied since
the 16th of last month ; since the 22d of which the Zodiac .1
light has been seen on every line evening till nine o'clock. The
Comet has been seen eveiy evening for some time,
and is
gradually increasing in brightness, being now nearly equal in
size and distinctness to the Nebula in Andromeda, near which
constellation it still is, but rapidly moving southward : with a
moderately powerful telescope it seems to have a very minute
stella nucleus, but when a powerful instrument is employed-it
has not the pointedness of being stella, but still appears a very
strong condensation of mist; it covers full t %VG minutes of
space.

MARCH 9, 1840.

IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN.

•
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—Although my letter to you was not in
tended for publication, but merely to convey you
my thanks for the truly national cause you have
espoused, the truths you had candidly expressed on
the subject of impressment of our seamen, without
respect to party spirit, and the hope that your
perseverance might ultimately bring this important
subject before the Parliament of this kingdom, still
I am glad you have done so, and I look forward
with bright hope to that early period when a
just consideration may be given to a matter so
eminently important. We have taught the world
what navies can do, and we and they know that
Great Britain is but as dust in the balance without
the supremacy of the ocean. We ought, and must,
if we intend to hold our own, feel as a gallant old
admiral expressed, when in the South Seas Ili,
forced a stranger to lower his top-gallant sail
in passing, who remonstrated on such injustice
in so distant a sea, the admiral dipping
his finger in the sea, said, " Sir, the water
here is salt, and as such the British flag claims and
commands respect." Session after Session of Par-
liament has passed on, the agitation of many su!)-
jeers has almost frensieu the imagination—even
individuals have claimed the time of the House,
but while all these things are passing and occupy.
ing the mind, not one man in our House of Com-
mons has nerve sufficient to bring forward the great
subject of justice to our seamen, though by doing
so we can alone secure our existence as a nation.

The seaman has been, and still is, the only
Briton who stands an outcast from our commu-
nity. In case of war, no other individual can be
furiously dragged from his home, his wife, and
children, without any infringement of even a sha-
dow of the law, sent on board ship without either
bounty or privilege, perhaps not to see his native
land for ten years after (I speak from knowledge),
being obliged (and nooly he has done it) to de-
fend those shores he is not allowed to pnt a foot
on perhaps till the war may be ended, to defend laws
which, in him aloneare vio►ated, and defend the honour
of that country, which keeps no honour with him.
These arc all facts, which I defy any man, or set
of men, to refute, and though grievous and of
long standing, they are capable of amelioration.
They must be attended to; another war, and then
it will be too late. Has the Naval Commission
been instructed to look into this matter ? If so,
all well, for I know some of its members, who have
the naval service truly at heart. Finally, Sir, I
assert, give the British seaman the just privilege of
a Briton, encourage him as he merits, and the
world will continue to fear and respect you.
But, Sir, I see in your comments on my letter a
mistake which it is my duty to rectify, in justice to
myself and the brave officers and men I had the
honour to command in the Macedonian in action
with the United States American ship of war. You
say " nominally the Macedonian was a 38-gun
frigate, and so was the United States." This is
the mistake I have to rectify, and that all may know
how this matter stood, I give you and my country-
men an exact copy of the comparative force of the
',lvo ships :

It is here shown that the American had the ad•
vantage of 217 men mote than the Macedonian,
and in weight of metal 690 pounds of shot, or 345
weight at each broadside. The masts, yards, and
tonnage of the American ship was nearly the sante as
our small 74-gun ships, and in their weight of broad-
side there was not the weight of one shOt dif-
ference. One more anecdote to prove the then
dzsgust (nor am I aware that it .has subsided)
of our seamen to their native country Observing on
board the American ship, two of her guns were
one named Nelson, another Victory, I asked her
Gallant Captain how this came ; his reply was,
To prevent a serious quarrel between .the crews
of those two guns for the prior name he was obliged
to interfere, and as all of them had served with the
great Nelson with his flag in the Victory, he gave
the privilege of Nelson to that crew, two of whom
had been Nelson's bargemen." This fact I am
ready to attest at any time. When Greek meets
Greek, then comes the tug of war; but I believe
few were aware of the tearful odds I and my brave
fellows had to contend with ; I envied each and
every one of my brave 105 officers and men who
fell hors de combat on this occasion. Near 60
years I have been in the service of the Monarchs
of Great Britain, near 52 of which in the naval
service. I am privileged to have an opinion, and
I tell you, and my country through you, it is their
fault if ever again British seamen arc found in array
against their native land.
I am, Sir, your obliged and obedient servant,
JNO. S. CARDEN, Rear-Admiral.

STEEPLE CHASING.—This modern and not
particularly humane form of racing, appears to be very popular.
We cannot take up any country paper without seeing in it some-
thing about a " steeple chase," that either already has or is to
" come off." Cockfighting is justly enough condemned, but
steeple-chasing is perhaps scarcely lets cruel. In the latter,
however, the cruelty is redeemed, nay, is lost sight of alto-
gether by the courage of the riders, who charge brooks scarcely
less narrow than a canal, and dash ever towering stone walls.
CORN-LAWS (IRELAND).--..Meetings in favour
of the food tax, or Devil's laws, we See have been got up in
some parts of Ireland. We view these disgustingly dishonest
proceedings on the part of a selfish section of the Irish land-
lords with but little surprise. Let them, however, persevere
in opposing the substantial " Justice to Ireland," which is de-
nied to the starving masses of their countrymen by the acursed
Corn-laws, and the very name of landlord will be odious. The
feeling in favour of a repeal of the landlords' tax is about mani-
festing itself in Dublin, and Mr. Crawford, to whom an invita-
tion to attend apublic meeting, has been sent by the National
Trades' Union, has addressed to them the following letter :
" Crawfordsburn, February 26.—Dear Sir,—l forgot to reply
to that part of your letter which respected. the Corn-law meet-
ing. I could have it in my power to attend a meeting on that
subject, if appointed any time after the 9th of March ; but I
could not expect that your arrangements should be made to
depend on my particular convenience. I should certainly feel
it my bounden duty, as a landed proprietor, to do my utmost to
release my poor countrymen from this intolerable addition t,,
their other causes of suffering.—Yours, SHARMAN
CRAM-I:ORD.—John O'Brien, Esq."
CHARTIST FUND.—On Sunday evening the
box containing the Chartists' funds, amounting to SOL was stolen
from the Brewer's Arms, as well as a quantity of plate and
jewellery, the property of the landlord, Mr. Reeves. A coun-
tryman has been apprehended on suspicion of being concerned
in the robbery, and was brought before the Bench on Tuesday,
and again on Thursday, when Solomon stated that a warrant
signed by the Lewes Magistrates was also in force against the
prisoner, for another offence, and he applied for leave to take
him to Lewes to be examined on the charge. If this was not
substantiated, he should still pray for his detention on the
warrant charging him with the robbery at the Brewer's Arms.
The necessary permission was given by the Bench. The
police are on the look-out for a econd party suspected.

CAMBRIDGE.—In compliance with a requisition
the High Sheriff has appointed a meeting of the inhabitants
of this county and isle far Tuesday next, at the Shire-hall,
for the purpose of voting an Address of Congratulation to the
Queen upon her marriage.
The Constilutionei, which is becoming eminent
for typographical and idiomatical eccentricities, when it touches
on English affairs, gravely informs the public that Mr. Liddell
was opposed to the pension of Sir John " Nicopert !" It fur-
ther enlightens its readers by telling them in a bracket that
Lord •• mattragle" is no other thin '• Sir" Spring Rise.
USE OF THE TOES.—The natives of Aus-
tralia have a power of manipulating with their toes, so as to do
many things surprising to men who wear shoes. This power
they acquire chiefly by ascending trees from infancy, their
mode of climbing depending as much on the toes as on the
fingers. With the toes they gather fresh water muscles from
the muddy bottom of rivers or lagoons, and the heaps of these
shells beside their old fire-places, which are numerous alon,
the banks, show that this shell fish is the daily food of at least
the theire beard f'e t
the women and children. In their attemptsr
between
steal,
are much employed. They will tread softly on any article,
seize it with the toes, pass it up the back, or between the arm
and stir, so as to conceal it in the artn-pit, or
and throat.—,Australian

PERTHSHIRE _ELECTION.

(From the Second Edition of the Perthshire Advertiser
of Thursday.)
NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.
The nomination of candidates took place on hustings
erected at the County Buildings, at twelve o'clock to-day.
The multitude assembled could not have been less than
from four to five thousand. A little before twelve o'clock
several bands of music, belonging to Perth and the
neighbouring villages, marched into the square, and
took up a station at the end of the hustings, appropriated
to the Liberal candidate, and played a number of na-
tional tunes before the proceedings commenced. Mr.
G. D. Stewart, the Liberal candidate, on making
his appearance—accompanied by the Honourable
Fox Maule, MP.' R. Steuart, Esq.. 1‘1.1). for the
Haddington Burghs, R. Stewart, Esq. of Ardvolich, J.M.
Nairne, Esq., of Dunsinane, W. L. Campbell, Esq., of
Glenfalloch, Mr. Bowie Stewart Campbell of Cloich-
foldich, Mr. Sandeman, Tulloch, and other gentle-
men of his Committee, and a numerous body of the
tenantry and electors of the county—was received with
deafening cheers, which lasted several minutes. Mr.
Maule also received a tremendous peal of cheering,
which was renewed from time to time, till the opposite.
party made their appearance. Mr. Home Drummond
was accompanied by Mr. Campbell of Monzie,
John Richardson, and other gentlemen of his Com-
mittee, and was greeted with groans and hissing, and
cries of " the Spy System," " Baird and Hardie," and
like allusions to the political trials with which his name
is so intimately connected.
The Sheriff having read the Writ of Election, and
the Act against Bribery and Corruption, and in-
quired whether any one had a candidate to propose,
The Hon. Fox MA ute presented himself, and pro-
ceeded to address the meeting, but the cheering was
so loud that he was obliged to pause for several
minutes—amtafter he had subsided, he spoke to the fol-
lowing effect :
Fellow-Electors of Perthshire! The Sheriff has
asked whether any one has a candidate to propose as
worthy to represent the interests and opinions of this
great county in Parliament, and I have now to nomi•
nate to you for that purpose, my esteemed and valued
friend, Mr. George Drummond Stewart.—(Cheers.)
Under ordinary circumstances I should have felt dis-
posed to leave the nomination of a candidate on this
occasion to others ; but, considering my Parliamentary
connection with the county, and, considering that I was,
perhaps, the means of causing you to lose a Liberal
representative, I feel that I hare a duty to perform
at this time, and that I am more than justified in
urging you as I now do, electors and non-electors,
to come forward, boldly and fearlessly, and rescue
the county from the domination of the Tories.—(Pro-
digious cheering.) I know that I shall read in next
week's Constitutional—( Laughter and hisses)—an attack
upon me for behaving as I now do, and accusing me of
acting an unconstitutional part—that, as a member of
the Government, I ought to abstain from taking any
share in th •se proceedings. But I have yet to learn
that because •I am a member of a Government which
is approved by, and satisfactory to, the people, that I
am to be disqualified from exercising my rights as an
elector.--(Prolonged cheering.) But leaving such
Constitutional objections—(Laughter)—l come to the
business of the day. There are two candidates for
your suffrages—my friend, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Drum-
mond, of whom we have only heard by a printed address
from him, and at one meeting which he courageously
faced in the George Inn on Friday.—(Laughter
and cheers.) This is the fifth election since the
passing of the Reform Bill, and the Tories have
uniformly played the same sneaking and cowardly
game.—(Cheers, and .cries of " Yes, they have.")
It is part of the system of Tory tactics—it is a remnant
of the old system, when the Member used to be snugly
elected in the Court Room behind us, the public know-
hag nothing of his sentiments, or indeed anything about
the matter till it was all finished, and he took his seat
as representative for the county.----(Loud and long con-
tinued cheering.) Now, Gentlemen, mark the different
conduct pursued by the two candidates ! Mr. Stewart
has been in every village and district of the county,
has met publicly with the electors, and freely and
openly expressed his opinions on political matters, while
his antagonist has cautiously abstained from all such
practice.—(Great cheering.) But, Gentlemen, this
should lead us to inquire a little further into the tactics
and principles of Toryism. With us, it is necessary for
our candidate to face the electors, and meet with, and
explain his opinions to, them ; but with the Tories it
is quite sufficient to get a man to stand, to get an ad-
dress of some kind or other from him, and then drive
their tenantry to the poll to vote for him.—(Tre-
mendous cheering. Sonie person in the crowd cried
out," Why don't you give us the Ballot ?") Mr. Maule
continued: Gentlemen, the disgraceful and unconstitu-
tional interference of the Tories with the freedom of
election has made me a convert to the Ballot —(Great
cheering.) Now let us inquire into the character and
principles of the two candidates. Like myself, when
I became your representative, Mr. Stewart has, pro-
perly speaking, no public character' to point to ; but
as you took me without one, trusting to the professions
which I made to you, and which, I trust, I redeemed
—(Cheers)—so I ask you to take Mr.'Stewart on the,
same terms—to take him on trial.—(Cheers.) Re-
. member, Gentlemen, that he was chairman of my elec-
tion committee—that he has ever given his services to
the Reform cause—that he has voted for, and supported
every Liberal candidate in this county, since the passing
of the Reform Bill—and on these grounds, and as you
took me untried, save in a similar way, I call upon
you to take Mr. Stewart.—(Great cheering.) But the
opposite candidate has a public character ; he has been
in office, and in Parliament ; and while I really enter-
tain the greatest possible respect for Mr. Drummond as
a private gentlemen, I feel bound to make some ob-
servations respecting his public career—(Great cheers)
—and with this I shall now deal.—(Renewed cheering.)
When I heard that Mr. Drummond had offered him-
self as a candidate for your suffrages, I asked if there
were not, upon the records of the country, transactions
in which he was prominently concerned, and which were
impeached in Parliament by a Member of the House
of Commons.—(Great cheering.) I referred to the
Reports of the State Trials in :817, and to the subse-
quent motion of Lord Archibald Hamilton in the
House of Commons, and tne facts which I thus
learned, I shall state in the presence of Mr. Drum-
mond.—(Tremendous cheering.) But first allow me
to contrast, shortly, the conduct of the Tory Govern-
ment of 1817, with that of the Whig Government of
1839 ; and it is not long since I did so in my place in
the House of Commons. In 1817, disturbances
and conspiracies occurred, though I do not doubt hut
the latter had more existence in the fears of the Go-
vernment than anywhere else.—(Cheers.) Disturb-
ances have taken place likewise during the last twelve
months, and which no honest man can justify, because
they were attempts to give effect to political opinions
by violence, inconsistent alike with the laws and Con-
stitution, and with the security of the most important
interests of the whole community.—(Cheers.) Of at-
tempts like these the law is wisely compelled to take
immediate notice, and with respect to those of 1839, I
hesitate not to say that the law has been made to take
its due and proper course.—(Cheers.) But how has it
been made to do so? By relying upon the people to
support it, es they will ever do when they are rightly
and constitutionally appealed to.—(Loud cheers.) The
Government sought no extraordinary powers they
did not come down to the House of Commons,
and ask the suspension of the Habeas Corpus
Act.—(Great cheering.) They did not send men
through the country to make and prepare cvi-
&nee against individuals tried for their lives.—
(Vehement cheers.) No. We have trusted to the sensc,
and patriotism of common juries—permitted the law to
take its usual course—and thus we have carried the
people with us.—( Loud and continued cheering.) By
simply appealing to their reason and right feeling, we
are completely extinguishing the spirit of violence and
revolution.—(Renewed cheering.) Now, let us go back
to 1817. As I have already said, I lately contrasted_
the two periods in the House of Commons, and I then
little imagined that soon thereafter I should do so in
the presence of one of the principal actors. in the
events that 'marked the former. It was alleged at
that time that. conspiracies existed—they existed chiefly,
however, in the imagination of Ministers; and it was
necessary that somebody should be tried fort some-
thing.—(Load cheers.) Ineeviduads were tried at that
time, and I now conic to the case in point., to the trial
of Andrew M'Kinlay in the High Court of Justiciary,
for, I believe, administering unlawful o iths.—(Renewed
cheering.) Those who placed him at the bar of that
' Court found it necessary to get stronger evidence
against him than they could well procure, end they selected
a man of the name of John Campbell, said to have
been engaged in the illegal proceedings thet were
alleged to have been then carried on : they placed him
under the tutorage of the Procurator-Fiscal of Glasgow
for a time ; they afterwards brought him to Edinburgh,
kept him in the Castle there, and still further prepared
him for being a witness, against Great
cheering.) They threatened himself with prosecu-
tion, if lie would not give evidence against 111•Kinlay.
They prepared him for giving evidence, and then put
him into the witness's box. Among other preliminary
questions put to a witness in Scotland, is (we to the
effect, whether the witness has received, or heed pro-
mised a reward for giving testimony ; and, upon this
question being put to Campbell, he at first declined to
answer ; there was a struggle in his breast whether he
should sacrifice the prieoner, and at last he replied
that be had been promised a REW ARD for giving his
evidence.—(Prodigious cheering, zeal „roaniugr
