MALDON, MAY 2.—WRECKED GooDs.—Three barrels
and a kilderkin of porter, with an empty barrel and kilder-
kin, and a windlass and anchor, which were clandestinely
landed and concealed at the basin, by some Colchester fisher-
men, have this day (Saturday) been recovered and secured
by the Comptroller of Customs. It is presumed they came
from a vessel belonging to Southwold, lately wrecked on the
Bucksea, a portion of whose cargo, consisting of a hogshead
of brandy and some casks of porter, has been taken into
Burnham, and delivered to the officer of customs. Five of
the casks landed here are branded Freeman, and the other

LORD METCALFE.

A meeting of gentlemen connected with the North
American Colonies was held yesterday, in the Committee-
room of the North American Association, Leadenhall-street,
for the purpose of agreeing upon an address to be presented
to Lord Metcalfe upon the occasion of his Lordship's return
from Canada to this country. The chair was taken at one
o'c'ock, by Mr. Robert Gillespie, who was supported by a
numerous assemblage of gentlemen connected with our
American colonies.

The CHAIRMAN, having stated the nature and object of
the meeting, and also pronounced an eloquent eulogium on
the Noble Lord to whom it was intended to pay the tribute
of a public address, begged attention to that which would be
read by the Secretary.
The SECRETARY read it as follows : •
"TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD METCALFE, G.C.8., &C.
"My Lord,—We, the undersigned merchants and others
connected with the British North American provinces, bog
most respectfully to express to your Lordship our heartfelt
thankfulness for your safe return to this country, and our
sincere and earnest hope that your valuable life may be
prolonged, to your own comfort, and for the service of your
country.

"Aware of the high reputation your Lordship had acquired
as a statesman of consummate skill, firmness, and justice in
the Governments which you held in India and Jamaica, we
hailed with the greatest satisfaction your appointment as
Governor-General of the North American colonies at a period
when the inhabitants of Canada were in a distracted state,
and the Government surrounded by difficulties of no ordinary
character.

" By the exercise of firmness, combined with patient for-
bearance, and with a singleness of purpose to render equal
justice to all, you have succeeded, my Lord, in upholding
the prerogatives of the Crown, in promoting the prosperity
of the people, in softening in some measure the asperities of
party hostility, and in establishing a form of government
which, if carried out in the spirit in which it has been con-
ceived by your Lordship, will be of the utmost advantage to
all classes of the inhabitants of Canada.
" While we deeply regret the painful malady which has
made it necessary for your Lordship, in accordance with the
considerate permission of her most Gracious Majesty, to ter-
minate your connexion with the North American colonies,
we are desirous of according our admiration and gratitude
for the deVoted attention which, in the midst of personal
suff:rings of a most aggravated nature, you continued to
apply to the affairs of the colony committed to your charge
so long as you were enabled to remain there.—We have the
honour to remain, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient
humble servants. (The signatures follow here.)
" London, Jan. 15, 1846."

It was,then moved and seconded, and unanimously adopted,
that the address be engrossed, preparatory to lying fur sig-
natures at the office of the Association, and should eventually
be presented by a deputation consisting of the chairman, and
the movers and seconders of the several resolutions. The
meeting then broke up.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

The Phantom Break fast is the title of a new adaptation of
L'Ome'ette Fantastiqu'e, which was produced hare last
The plot must be familiar to every playgoer, for not
only has the original piece, with Ravel as the hero, been
repeated:y performed at the St. James's, but an English
version, under the title of The IVelsh Rabbit, had a
long run some two seasons at the Princess's. More-
over the Breakfast has been served up in various
forms at the East-end, and the trans-tamesian theatres.
Under these circumstances. it is unnecessary is describe the
plot, suffice it to say that Wright was the Cierk out of Place,
who is by a series of unlucky con tretempts prevented from
eating the breakfast which his Lady's-maid sweetheart bad
prepared for him—that Mrs. F. Matthews was that lady's-
maid—that Miss Emma Harding was her mistress, and the
fair unknown with whom the breakfastless clerk had danced
at the ball the night before, and that Paul Bedford was the
lawyer husband. With such a cast it is needless to add that
the farce was capitally acted, and that its success was com-
plete.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Other theatres have had their sentimental crickets.
This theatre boasts a " right merrie cricket," which com-
menced its chirp last night, to the great delectation of the
laughter-loving leiges who frequent this theatre. ". Tlt
Cricket on our ownlieartr of the Olympic is an admirable
burlesque on the various Crickets of the other theatres,
and with Miss Kate Howard as I)ot, Mr. James Browne
as Perrybingle, and though last not least, Mr. Cockerill
as the glorious Tilly Slowboy, kept the au-
dience in a constant roar of laughter and applause.
The scenery is good, and there is some really excellent
dancing introduced. Altogether the Olympic Cricket Is
a most amusing affair. The Pantomime, now that the
machinery has been taught to act, " goes "capitally, and
the evening's amusements were loudly applauded by a
house crammed to the ceiling.

Lord Canning is appointed to succeed Lord Howard
de Walden as Ambassador at Lisbon.
We have heard on good authority that Mr. Beckett
Denison received an assurance from the Premier thak
his intended measures will not be repulsive to the
agricultural interest, before he undertook to second
the Address. Mr. Denison is a Member of the
Council of the Central Society for the Protection of
Agriculture.

MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS.

The rumour is revived that Lord Lyndhurst is
about to resign the Great Seal, for reasons uncon-
nected with Ministerial policy.

It has been strongly rumoured in Westminster Hall
that Mr. Pemberton Leigh has resisted most earnest
solicitations from the Premier and the Duke of Wel-
lington to succeed to the Woolsack; and that, in con-
sequence, the following arrangements are contem-
plated

Sir Edward Sugden to be Lord Chancellor;
Sir F. Thesiger, Lord Chancellor of Ireland ; and

Mr. James Wortley to be the new Solicitor-
General, the present Solicitor- General becoming, of
course, Attorney-General. Let the electors of Cam-
bridge be on the look- out.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.

I We are glad that the spirited proprietor of this theatre
meets with the success to which he is so justly entitled.
During the holidays the crowds of young visitors have been
much greater than usual, partly, no doubt, owing to the mild
season, but chiefly to the excellent entertainments furnished
for their amusement, and among others to the extraordinary
performances of the dog Emile, which is becoming every day
a greater favourite. On .Wednesday night the house was
crowded in every part, and the juvenile portion of it appeared
in perfect ecstasy. After the first piece was over Mr. Thomp-
son, the stage-manager, came forward and announced that
Mr. Batty had entered into a further engagement with the
owner of the dog Emile for three weeks longer; he also
stated that Mr. Batty had purchased two very large and ex-
traordinary elephants, remarkable for their .great sagacity,
and which have been for some time past the wonder of the
Continent, and that he purposed introducing them to a Lon-
don audience in the course of a few weeks, as the principal
actors in a new Eastern spectacle, translated from the French,
and which has been played with immense success for upwards
of a hundred nights in Paris. It is Mr. Batty's intention to
produce the spectacle on the greatest scale of magnificence.

THE NORFOLK RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Having had occasion a short time ago to pass over
the Norfolk Railway (a day or two after the late fatal catas-
trophe), I had an opportunity of observing the very dan-
gerous state of the line. In one case the rails were in that
stat 3 which would at once satisfactorily account for the recent
accident. The part of the line to which I alluele is between
Thetford and Ely, about sixteen miles from the former place,
and is indented [one of the line of rails] three inches in
the course of four or five yards; from which it will at once
be evident that an engine pazsing over this part of the line,
at a speed not less than 45 mfes per hour, would most in-
evitably be " jumped" up or off the line.
I mentioned this circumstance to the driver of the engine
which had brought us up from Norwich, who, after calling
my attention to the accident which had just occurred, re-
marked that he was in great fear cn every occasion that he
was out with his engine; and added, " that the line sinks so
much during the day and night."
If yon think this information worthy of notice, you will
make use of it at your discretion.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

they submit, gives a force and effect to immediate production, un-

POOR-RATES.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Tiver-
ton complaining that the poor-rates fell heavily on the
owners of real property, that other parties were ex-
empted from them, and praying that they should be
superseded by a national tax, and that if any deficiency
took place, it should be defrayed out of the Consolidated
Fund. lie could not exactly agree in the prayer c.f the
letiticT, but he could not help stating that the proposed
aw of settlemeat did not meet with the approbation of
the country, as it would press heavily on the agricultu-
ral portion of the community.

TITHES.
Lord CAMPBELL inquired if the Lord Chancellor
intended to introduce any Bill with respect to the levy-
ing tithes this session, as there was considerable differ-
ence of opinion on the subject?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the case came
under the consideration of the Court of Queen's Bench,
and they were equally divided upon it. The same case
came also before the Court of Common Pleas, who were
also divided upon it. Under such circumstances, he con-
sidered it to be a very proper subject for legislation, and
he proposed very soon to lay on the table of the House
a Bill having special reference to it.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALITS—YESTERDAY.
The flatness of the market yestefday after Boon cannot be attri-
buted to the want of hackers. They were plentiful enough, but the
layers were more than unusually shy, and, in consequence, a great
number of commissions in favour of horses for the Chester Cup, New-
market and Metropolitan Handicaps and Derby were only partially
executed. This remark may be applied to Hope, Miss Burns, Best
Bower, and Clumsy for the Chester Cup, and more particularly so to
Brocardo for the Derby ; the odds quoted against the latter having
been laid to about 201. only out of several larger sums sent up for in-
vestment. At present the events to come off at Newmarket and
Epsom are dead letters. Final quotations
