of Lord Dalhousie's Act, for the purpose of deterintrivog

THE RIVER PLATE.
The barque Melody, Captain Hooper, arrived on the
24th at Plymouth, after a passage of 61 days from Monte
Video, having left (1.1 toe 24;a cf August.
A short time before her departure, Mr. Hood, the
British Envoy, had been in communication with General
Oribe. The interview took place beyond the lines out-
side Monte Video ' • it was private, and its especial ob-
ject unknown to the Monte Videans, whose city con-
tinued under siege by the General. Mr. Hood was
Preparing to depart for Buenos Ayres in her Majesty's
steamer Electra, for the purpose of negotiating with
General Roses for a suspension of hostilities.
Her Majesty's frigate Vernon and two other British
men-of-war were at Monte Video ; also her Majesty's
steam-ships Gorgon, Devastation, and Electra. The
Firebrand had left for Buenos Ayres.
About 30 English merchant vessels were waiting for
cargoes, and upwards of 100 other ships of all nations,
including Danes, Swedes, Norwegian, Dutch, French,
Spanish, and Belgian. reights were quoted at 525.,
but difficult to be obtained in consequence of the block-
ade. There was nothing in the market but hides, and
those very scarce, excepting dry hides, some of which
had apparently been ten years in store. Bread, 235. per
cwt. ; flour in proportion ; beef, not very good, Is. 2(1.
per lb.

The Melody has a full cargo of green hides for her
owners, Messrs. Heycroft and Pethick, of Plymouth ;
and, looking at the large number of recent casualties
among shipping in the Atlantic, she has had a very
favourable passage. The only rough weather she ex •
perienced was during the last ten days, after making the
Western Islands, from which, and from other recorded
data, it may be inferred that the late fearful storm was
confined to certain latitudes north of the Azores. The
Melody observed many vessels, especially outward-
bound ships, near the Channel, but spoke none during
the voyage home.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
Mrs. Gamp gave a tea and turn-out here last even-
ing in honour of the wedding of the'daughter of her old
friend, Mrs. Betsy Prig. In the opening scene we
are introduced to Mrs. Gamp, (Mr. Wright), who,
with her basket and umbrella, is returned to her
lodgings at Sweedlepipe's, from a nursing expedi-
tion. Mrs. Gamp is knocking at her door when she
meets with Charley Muff, (Mr. Worrell), viho has
been making love to her niece, Miss Selina Gamp,
(Miss Ellen Chaplin), a figurante at Drury-lane.
She invites him to tea and turn-out, and scarcely
has he left her, when she meets his father,
an opulent tallow-chandler, Mr. Magnus Muff,
(Mr. Cullenford), who in other days, before
she knew the late Mr. Gamp, had been
a suitor for her favours. He is on the look-out for
his truant son, but it is unbeknown to Sairey that the
suitor of her niece is the son of the friend of her
youth, and she asks old Muff to the tea and turn-
out also. We are then introduced to Betsy Prig (Mr.
Munyard), and her daughter (Miss M. Taylor), and
her daughter's husband, an Irish tailor (Mr Red-
mond Ryan), who waxes jealous in consequence
of the intrusion of a certain Mr. Alfred,
a quondam lover of his wife, who is no other
than the Don Giovanni of humble life, Mr.
Muff, junior. To appease him, Betsy Prig declares
that all Mr. Muff's attentions are devoted to his old
Betsy ; and the Tailor, wondering at young Muff's
taste, is appeased. The scene then changes to Sairey
Gamp's. First of all we have the two young ladies,
who, having discovered the falseness of Mr. Muff
junior, attack him and faint in his arms. He leaves
them and takes refuge under the bed. Then the old
woman brews a bowl of punch from a receipt
book, given by Mrs. Harris to Mrs. Gamp, and makes
divers odd mistakes by reading across from a receipt
for punch to a receipt for a salad, so that the rum
and sugar and hot-water get sttangely mixed with
mustard, vinegar, and oil. Then the party assemble,
and this punch is served out to the great horror of the
drinkers, and a grand quarrel scene between Sairey
Gamp and Betsy Prig ensues. The young Muff
emerges from his hiding-place, and with the consent
of his father marries Selina Gamp, and then comes a
dance in which old Sairy in white kid sandals and black
silk stockings, and a white muslin gown with a black
sash, dances a jig in the most outril fashion imaginable.
Mrs. Gamp, moreover, favours the company with a
moral song, which is, of course, encored, and, thanks
to the admirable fooling of Wright, the piece goes off
amidst such shouts of laughter as we never heard ex-
cept within the walls of the Adeiphi. The house was
crowded, the laughter was uproarious, and Mrs.
Gamp will, no doubt, be at home every night for
many weeks to come.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
Sir John Vanbrugh's comedy of The Relapse,
Sheridan's version of which, entitled A Trip to Scar-
borough, has long been familiar to all old playgoers,
was revived at this theatre last evening with the fol-
lowing very powerful cast :—Lord Foppington, Mr.
Walter Lacy; Sir John Friendly, Mr. Clifford ; Sir
Tunbelly Clumsy, Mr. Wilkinson ; Young Fashion,
Mr. George Bolton; Loveless, Mr. Leigh Murray;
Worthy, Mr. Archer ; Coupler, Mr. J. Cowell; Bull,
Mr. Tumour ; Lory, Mr. S. Cowell ; Syringe, Mr.
Romer ; Amanda, Mrs. R. Gordon ; Berinthia,
Charles ; Miss Hoyden, Mrs. Walter Lacy • Nurse,
Mrs. C. Janes. The great feature of the play in
byegone times was the Miss Hoyden of Mrs. Jordan,
which was a piece of genuine unsophisticated nature,
who,

unapproached and unapproachable. The Miss Hoyden

have approached Mrs. Walter Lacy in this
character. Her Miss Hoydon is quite as great, after
its sort, as was Charles Young's Sir Pertinax M'Sy-
cophant, and it bears the same relation to the Miss
Hoyden of Airs. Jordan that did the Sir Pertinax of
Charles Young to the Sir Pertinax of George Frederick
Cooke. Her husband's Lord Foppington, was perfect
—by far the best we have ever seen. He was the
beau of the old school—the Mr. Chester of Dickens.
Of Mr. George Bolton's Young Fashion we cannot
speak so favourably. This gentleman has taste and a
fair conception of character. It was evident that he
knew exactly what ought to be done, but he did not
know exactly how to do it. He was at times awkward,
and it was evident that he felt he was awk ward—
poela nascitur—but an actor is not born such—
nature must give him genius, but art must teach him
his profession, and Mr. George Bolton must submit
to the drudgery of learning, ay, of drilling, until he
has learned all that art can teach ; then he will take a
high rank in the profession he has chosen. There is
stuff in him, but he
does not yet know how to bring
it out. Wilkinson's Sir Tunbelly, was rich and
unctions"; and Mr. Leigh Murray s.Loveless was de-
cidedly the best thing that he has yet done. Mrs.
R. Gordon, as Amanda, was true to nature, and there-
fore admirable. She has reached the highest point of
art—the ars celare artem. We expect great things
from Mrs. R. Gordon. Miss Charles, as Berinthia,
was coquettish and lively, and rattled thrugh the
character in excellent style. We are glad to see our
old friend Mrs. C. Jones once more on the stage.
Her Nurse was the most artistical piece of acting of
the evening, and reminded one forcibly of the good
old times, when one character alone was not thought
sufficient to make a play. The comedy was put on
the stage with every attention to costume and scenery,
and Mr. Bolton may well be proud of the manner in
which he has produced this, the first of his series of
revivals. We were glad to see that the theatre was
very well attended.

FRENCH PLAYS.-Mr. Mitchell has completed his
preparations for the ensuing season, which is to com-
mence on the 11th of November. It opens with Ferlet,
Cartigny, Rhozevil, and Mademoiselle Brohan, the
premiere soubrette of the Francois, who will perform in
several comedies, including some of Moliere's, and a
series of vaudevilles. Frederick Lemaitre and Made-
moiselle Clarisse will follow, and appear in several of
their well-known dramas, as well as in the new play of
Le Docteur Noir. Their successors will be Lafont and
Mademoiselle Farqueil, after whom the celebrated comic
actor, Alcide Tonsez, will make his finitt appearance in
this country, with Mademoiselle Du verger. Made-
moiselle Rose-Cheri, who so much delighted the audience
last year, will then come with a new repertoire, and will
he followed by Regnier and Mademoiselle Denain, of the
Francois. The inimitable Bouffe, who has not been
here for these three years, will give a limited number of
representations, and the whole season will terminate with
the ettgagea.ent of Mademoiselle Rachel, who, besides
playing a series of tragedies, will act Celimene, in the
Misanthrope of Moliere. This list oft excellent per-
formers shows that the spirit of the enterprising Mr.
Mitchell has not in the least abated.
We have to announce the death of the Countess
(Dowager) of Huntingdon, who expired on Tuesday last
at Boulogne-sur-Men. Her Ladyship was the eldest
daughter of the late Joseph Bettesworth, Esq., and mar-
ried, first, Alexander Thistlethwayte, Esq. ; secondly,
Hans Francis, eleventh Earl of Hunting( Ion; and thirdly,
in April, 1838, Colonel Sir Noel Harrits,
THE GREAT BRITAIN EXPECTED.--The New York
Tribune of the Bth inst. says:--" The Great Britain is
now in her sixteenth day. Her non-art ival in season to
send replies to the correspondence broug ht by her, in the
Great Western, is provoking, and no doubt will be a
serious annoyance to our mereilann3."
A company has undertaken to earlvey paszengers

everywhere regarded with feeling of the utmost kindness
and affection. A survey of the river Beas was in pro-
gress, with a view of selecting the most eligible place
that could be found for the construction of a bridge to
permit the Lahore force to return within the Doab, as
well perhaps as to enable the troops in the Doab to ad-
vance on the capital at a moment's notice should occasion
require.
The Jamoo chief is said to be strengthening his
army ; the rumours that he entertains hostile intentions
towards us are as yet unsupported. It is probably not
in his nature to remain long on terms with any one with-
out some dreams of treachery towards them. In Cash-
mere there appear to have been some slight disturbances
—most probably not greater than those which occur
continually, though we now hear more of them from our
closer proximity to the place of their occurrence. The
rumours of troops mustering in strength on the frontier
appear to have been extremely exaggerated—they are
once more passing away. They seem to have arisen
from the usual reliefs being made on a somewhat extended
scale, and from the embodiment of a couple of new
regiments, obviously intended to assist in absorbing the
disbanded Seikh soldiers.
