THE; ~41N,"-LONDONI SATURDAY. JUNE 12. 'so.

Walter on the sugar question hes done IT him for ever at
Nottingham. The Liberal puty a.,.e on the alert meet fully,
tad the Tot ies can enly expect defeat.
PLYMOUTH.—The succe,i r.f the Liberal candidates for this
h, rough is certain. Mr. Gil and Mr. Fortescue delivered
eir sentiments at a large meeting on Wedim,,day last, and
their reception was most cordial.
SHEFFIELD.—The Tories base with vast difficulty got two
of their party to contest the borough—Mr. David. Urquhart,
the celebrated impeacher of Lord Palmerston, arid a Colonel
Taylor, of whom nothing is yet known. A meeting of the
friends of Parker ( R), Ward ( ft), and free trade, was held at
the Tontine on Tuos,:ay evening—a step which would con-
vince the monopolists of a truth, which even the celebrated
Billy Holmes admits, " that the Tory caneidates have more
money than wit, or they would know Sbuilleld before risking
the attempt."—Sheffield Iris.
SOUTH SHIELDS.—George Fyler, Esq., Conservative, is to
oppose Mr. Ingham for this -borough.
STOKE-UPON-TRENT. -- Mr. Lewis Ricardo, son of the
politico-economist, is the Liberal candidate, and his return
is sure.

SUNDERLAND.- Mr. Barclay, on the retirement of Mr.
White, will represent the Liberal interest.
WOLVERRAMSTON.—AIessrs. ViiKers and Thornely will
probably be re-elected for this borough without oppo,ition.
YARMOUTH.—Here nothing but a profuse, expenditure of
money can procure the Tories even the shadow of a chance. If
the 'I °ries' come intothe field at ail, they will be somewhat like
a certain brewer, who some years since came forward, and
having spent 1,500/. in the early part of the day, left, saying,
if breakfast was so- expensive, he could not afford to stop to
dinner. Lord G. Somerset and Mr. Smythe are spoken of as
Tory candidates. From high authority it is stated that Messrs.
Rumbold and Wilshere will again solicit the suffrages of their
old constituents.

VORKSIIIRE—(West Riding.)—Mr. Denison takes the
field under Tory auspices. Lord Milton, a powerful advocate
for free trade and the Government measure, also stands for
the Riding.

AMERICAN PAPERS.
TROUBLES OF EDITORS.—The Editor of the Brantford
Courier gives the following lively account of the troubles to
which newspaper men are suhjecteil :
" Imagine a number of subscribers calling for their papers,
and amusing. the Editor with such conversation as toe fol-
lowing :—You have too many love stories in your paper,
cries one—give us a little more solid matter, moral
and instructive, cries another—agricultural extracts will
best suit the taste of the district, says a third ; I wish
you would give. us some funny anecdotes, writes a young
friend. " Can't you treat us to something piquant on the Go-
vernor's policy?" says a politician. Another balloon hoax,
if you please, says a wag. You would best suit your
serious readers by religious selections occasionally,
says another, —och ! by the powers. won't you be aft,r telling us
tome of thim Irish stories, says an Emerabier,—can't.you toueh
up the Yankees a little? enquires one,—you are too severe
upon the Am, ric-,ns, ejaculates his neighbour,—you should
borrow more front the New York Albion, recommends a friend.
In the absence of anything new to communicate, a sub-
scriber writes, " you don't give us enough Of the news of the
day,"—we should like t know something about the fashions!
exclaims a lady of the beau monde—let us know how,
the money market goes at home, says an old stock-
broker,—insert in your paper th,-. Montreal and Toronto
prices of grain, observes a farmer ! and of butter and
cheese too, cries his better half—and where we can get the
hest ploughs and axes, 4.!emand the sons—you have too many
advertisements in your paper, says one—and not enough fo-
reign news, cries another—and, as an auctioneer wind's up his
catalogue, " vai ious other things too numerous to mention."
A short time ago we , eeeired a double let,er unpaid front a'
distance of 200 miles. We eared but little about the postage
as we broke the seal of the caved ipe, f -eliiig assured that it

And subsequ,ntly another unpaid letter came, informing us

WILDCAT.
•
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Bth Regiment to his
Friend in New Albany :-
66 NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 2.
" I em here, on my way to Arkansas, with 200 wretched Se-
minole Indians. They are the remna,its of a Spartan race. The
men a,-e noble. hardy-looking fellows, whom you cannot. but re-
pect, though they have murdered the innocent and unoffend-
mg ; but the women and children excite your pity and corn-
misseration. On our tedious voyage hither they laid about the
deck, peeeetly resigned, and apparently indifferent to their
fate, careless of li.e and fearless of death.

" 1 was at Fort Cummings when the noted chief Coacoo-
chee, or Wi'd Cat, came in fur a talk.' I'his man is remark-
able tor the many incidents in his life, and for his bold
and daring spirit. He was once a pi isener, but made
his escape throuAli a hole in tha walls of his prison
iso surprisingly small that an ordinary man's head would not
enter it., and, after he was through, jumped twenty-five
feet to the ground. This fellow has committed more mur-
ders and scalped more women and children than any
other Indian in Florida, and this roan we were
to take, and did take, by the hand in friendship.
He came into our camp, bringing with him seven ' trusty
squires,' who, in looks, dress, and manner, might well be
painted to illustrate and personate the old one himself—a
little effusion •of brimstone, a blue flame, and a few
tails would have made the picture complete. Wild
Cat's manner, upon coming into the presence of so
many officers, and surrounded as he was by so large a body of
soldiers, was somewhat confused, but he soon recovered him-
self, and spoke With ease, and not ungracefully. He is
about thirty years of age, five lett eight inches high,
well proportioned, with a calm, settled, manly face,
and a nark fierce eye beaming with intelligence. The
Colonel-tacked to--him openly seturried.
it, and pionii:ted to cease fighting aid emigrate.
His little daughter, a child of five years,. who had
been taken prisoner, and separated from its parents some five
or six months, was then given up to him, and, fur the first
time in an Indian, I saw the evidence of feeling anti affeetiun.
" I consider the Florida war as at an end. All the chiefs
and Indians are surrendering. These I am now taking otT
have been the most delse:we in the country, and are acknow-
ledged to have been the very spirit of the war. I lett at
Tampa more than a hundred, who were waiting the arrival of
their friends, when they will embark for their new homes."

I ICTORIA THEATRE.

Mr. Osbaldiston has lately produced a very success-
ful and pinierful domestic drama, entitled Susan Hop-
ley, or the Trials and VicisSitudes of a Servant Girl
(dramatised from the popular novel). The plot- is as
follows :—Susan Hopley (Miss Vincent) enters upon
her career as a servant girl at Oakfield Hall. She meets
at her master's house Walter Gaveston (Dale) and
George Remorden (Seaman), two fiends in human shape,
as the bills very properly describe them. They agree t 3
murder old Wentworth, which they carry into et&ct ;
but at the time of its execution Andrew Hopley, Susan's
brother, rushes in to protect his master, when he is at
the same time dispatched, and the body concealed by the
murderers behind the oaken wainscot. The whole of
this murder is revealed to Susan Hopley in a dream, by
the effect of a very splendid tableau, admirably managed.
The walls of the apartment appear to fade away, and the
dreadful deed is disclosed to the agonized feelings of
Swan. By this means she knows Gaveston and Reiner-
den to he the murderers. At this moment several neigh-
bours appear in breathless haste to inform Susan Hopley
of the murder. Her heart, overpowered with what she
has already seen, she cries, " I know Mr. Wentworth
is murdered"—this is considered by a "county magis-
trate," as convincing proof of her guilty knowledge, and
she is shunned by all around her. In the next act Susan
Hopley is discovered winding her way over the fields, a
wretched outcast, with lit r, wardrobe in her hand. She
meets in the hour of trouble with her lover William
Dean (Saville) who, satisfied that the charge against her
is false, resolves to protect her. Susan now arrives
in London, where she again meets with Gaveston
and Remorden in assumed characters. They threaten
her life if she dare to give the least alarm. In the
meanwhile, Susan seeks the chamber of the old
manor-house, where the body of her murdered brother
is discovered-behind the panel of the room. The saddle
is put on the right ; and the persecuted servant
girl establishes her innocence. Miss Vincent's persona-
tion of the heroine of the drama cannot be too highly
spoken of ; and we should advise every servant girl to
go and see her performance in Susan Hopley. Dale and
Seaman enacted their characters to the satisfaction of
every one ; and Scarbrow showed the audience he is a
much better actor than those who think they possess stage
qualifications. We think Dicky Dean was a little too
much in the "coster" line ; this is a fault easily reme-
died. The scenery and stage effects are admirable.
Mr. Osbaldiston may rest assured if he puts every
domestic drama on 'the stage in the way he
has done this he cannot fail of success. The
favourite operatic drama of the Prisoner of _Rochelle,
in which Mr. Osbaldiston played Henri Florival, and
Miss Vincent Beatrice, with songs, highly delighted the
audience. Osbaldiston's acting is very easy, and drew
down deServed applause. The Galley Slaves of Toulon
concluded the evening's entertainment. One thing, how-
ever, we regretted for ourselves, that we had to stand all
the time.
