DRURY LANE THEATRE.—We have seldom seen so
crowded an audience as the one assembled here on Saturday
last, to witness Macfarren's popular opera of Don Quixote, and
the very successful and delightful ballet of The Island Nymph.
Mdlle. Maria has confirmed the impression she created on
the first night; and assisted by Mdlle. Neodot and M. Des-
places, the effect was complete. Drury Lane is completely
the fashion, and most happy are we to record it.
SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Handers Sam'on is to
be repeated on Friday next. liraham, Phillips, Leffler, Miss
Birch, and Miss Hawes are the principal vocal performers.
The late Viscountess Canterbury has, by her will,
given the splendid large dejeuner service of porcelain chinajormerly
belonging to the late Archbishop Sutton, to the present Viscount.
Her Ladyship has also given to her son, Captain J, Home Purves, of
the Guards, all her plate, which was her Ladyship's previous to her
marriage with the late Viscount; and to her daughters, Mary and
Ellen, all the furniture and books ; and to her daughter, Frances, the
contents, whatever they may be, of her two jewel boxes at her
bankers. The late Viscount Canterbury's picture, by Heffner, is left
to the Hon. Henry Manners gutton. Other specific bequests are left
to the Hon. Mrs. Sanderson, Lady Eless'ngton (the Viscountess's
sister), and to the Earl of Auckland. Pecuniary bequests, amounting
together to about 6,0001., are left between her three daughters, Mar-
guerite Horne Purves, Ellen Home Purves, and Frances Diana Man.
nets Sutton. The residue, real and personal, in trust for her laugh-
ter!, Marguerite, Mary, and Ellen. tier Ladyship's will was proved
by her son, Captain Purves, the Earl of Auckland, and J. A. Powell,
Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, her executors, under 9,0001., exclusive of pro-
perty out of the province of Canterbury. The Viscountess made her
will in October, 1846, four months after his Lordship's death, and a
codicil on the 15th of November, only the day previous to her death.
Her Ladyship was in her 55th year. The late Viscount's will has not
yet been proved.—Post.

THE INDIAN MAIL.
(From the Times.)
We understand that the mail from India, which arrived
yesterday, has brought no letters or dispatches from the
Governor-General. It is known, however, from the most
unquestionable authority, that the advanced guard of the
British army was attacked, on the evening of the 18th of
December, by the Seikh troops. The enemy was repulsed,
and driven back for-upwarda of three miles, with the loss of
seventeen pieces of cannon. This affair occurred at Moodkee,
a place about twenty-two miles to the north-east of Feroze.
pore, and having opened a communication with Sir John
Littler, who commanded at that post, and having been
joined by the corps under that officer, attacked the enemy's
intrenched position at four o'clock in the afternoon of the
21st. The first line of intrenchments was carried ; but
the night was so dark that further operations were
suspended. At daylight en the 22d the second line of in-
trenchments was attacked, and all the enemy's defences were,
in half an hour, taken in reverse, and the guns captured. On
the afternoon of the 22d the enemy advanced with their in-
fantry, and hordes of camels carrying swivels, for the purpose
of retaking the guns they had previously lost. All the at-
tacks, however, which they made were repulsed; and after a
cannonade, which had no result, they withdrew, and retired to
a place called Sultankhanwalla, about ten miles from Fero-
zepore, where they had still some heavy artillery. The
British army would be joined by two battalions of native in-
fantry, which were not in the previous actions, and the
enemy's position at Sultanhkanwalla was to be attacked on
the 24th. No accounts have been received of the specific
loss on either side, nor is the name of any officer mentioned.
The captured guns amounted to 65 counted, and there were
some more in a village on the British right.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull. Sales, 4,000
bales. Shares offereo no feature.
Messrs. Lamond's Share auction yesterday was well attended, but
the prices of the new lines were again worse :—Dutch Hanoverian,
2/. Is.6d.—East Indian, 11. 65.--North Staffordshire, Churnet, and
Potteries, 51. 16s.—Isle of Axholme, Gainsborough, and Goole,

wick and Worcester, 1/. Os. Ed.
There is still an entire absence ofship or other arrivals with foreign
news of interest, if we except the details received from the Continent
respecting the alarming scarcity of food in some parts, and the riots
resulting therefrom, all indicative of the want of stocks from which
we are at all likely to get largely supplied, and further showing that
the United States and Canada will have to he our chief resource.
The following are the chief poiuts of variation in the Bank of Eng-
land return shown for the week, to the 7th inst.:—

The Securities and Deposits, therefore, were again under the Influ-
ence of the railway lodgments.
The English Stock market opened flatly again this morning, .from
the paucity of business ; but it is impossible, while there is a chance
of renewed purchases by the Chancery broker, that stock should be-
come at ah plentiful. Indeed the amount already absorbed must,
until resold, exercise a most important effect in keeping up price,.
Consols have been 96% to 96% for transfer on Monday, and 97 to
96% for Account. Exchequer-bills have realised 388. to 40s. pre-
inium. The New Three-and-a-Quartcr per Cents. have been 99 to
95%, and the Three per Cents. 97,A to 97.
The Foreign Investments have been very quiet. Spanish Three

There has been a fair business done in railway shares, and prices
encrally are supported.
