SURREY THEATRE

Two new pieces, the one a drama of interest, entitled Julie
Dru;le or, the City Goldsmith; the other a broad farce, en-
titled Tea with my Aunt, were produced here last evening
with the most undoubted success. Julie le Dru (Mrs. H.
Vining) is the daughter of a City goldsmith, and her hand
IS sought by the two apprentices of her father. Sand-
ford (Mr. IL Hughes), the virtuous apprentice, and
Hurst (Mr. Maynard), the vicious apprentice; of course
she favours the suit of Sandford, and of course he is perse-
cuted by robber
but
is.tried, convicted, and condemned for
highway robbery, but just Ls he is on the point of being
executed, the villany of Hurst is discovered, and to quote a
play-bill common-place, " virtue is rewarded and vice pu-
nished." The piece is well constructed, and well acted, and
will no doubt draw. As to the farce it is excellent, and we
think the management nity reckon upon this invitation to
Tea with my Aunt being accepted every evening that my
Aunt cheesed to be "at home."

1ND1A.24 COW*/ U 1 AD.—Bread bakeal. from Indian corn
(maize) is coming rapidly into vogue in our cit, v, and several bakers
are driving a brisk business in it already. Al. the meeting n
of the
Philosophical Society on Wednesday night, 3)r. X. D. Thomso read
an able paper on the nutritive qualities of Indian corn, which he
ranked very high, and at the same time eidlibited various kinds of
bread and biscuit which had been baked from it by Mr.. Wilson, Gor-
don-street. Some of the specimens were :mixtures ,of maize and
wheat, and maize and rice, in which state tats loaves ca n be better
fermented than when maize is used alone. The bread and biscuits
were very palatable and pleasant. Various uses to which Indian
corn flour ,may be applied in domestic cookery were described, and
some of them illustrated on the occasion. In any form it is incom-
parably more nutritious than potatoes, and may, with the smallest
amount of trouble andexpense, be made au 4117tottlIlle artiOlfi Of diet.
