ADELPHI THEATRE.

The proverbial fogs of London were last evening
turned to amusing account, by supplying the foundation
for a well-written and evenly acted farce at this theatre.
The London Fog was cleverly rendered on the stage by
means of a dark gauzy suspended in place of the cur.
tain, behind which people came in contact, tumbled
about, and yelled to the great delight of a numerous
aulience. The fog scene changed to a bachelor's lodging,
into which Mr. Paul Bedford, equipped as a struggling
artist,labouring under the legal penalties of a dishonoured
bill, rushed precipitately. On lighting a candle, he
discovers that he has entered the wrong apartment, but
the landlady appearing, ho recognises her, and con
trives a plot against his uncle, the occupant of the
lodgings. Presently Mr. Wright enters, fs entertained
from his own larder and cellar by his nephew and his
friend, the landlady, both disguised; and, after the usual
amount of difficulty and misunderstanding, matters are
cleared up, and, as a matter of course, a wife and a mode
of release from his difficulties found for the struggling
painter. This material, conveyed in smart and pointed
dialogue, served Mr. Wright for one of the most ge-
nuine touches of comedy we remember to have enjoyed
from him. The farce aas received with loud laughter
and applause throughout, which is what might be ex-
pected, for it is understood to be the production of Mr.
Mark Lemon.

Bechunter hero took, his place about a length from the

Although the card promised only a couple of races,
and the weather was unpromising, the Port Stakes ex-
cited so much general interest, and had been the source
of such heavy speculation, that several gentlemen,
amongst them the noble owner of the Knight of Avenel,
availed themselves of the ordinary train, arrived just in
time for the commencement of business on the heath, and
were gratified with one of the most severely contested
races ever witnessed. Apart from this event we may
safely affirm that the day was a fitting wind-up to the
worst Craven Meeting on record.

NOTICE TO THE PHDLIC.--LTENEEAL
The extended adoption of street-door letter-boxes, as recom-
mended in the notice to the public of May, 1849, hasconsi •
derably pronioted the rapid delivery of letters. The Post-
master-General, in renewing this recommendation, takes oc-
casion to advert to the great increase of Post-office duty
which will arise out of the approachin-Exhibition, and
which will will render it still more important that the postmen
should not be unnecessarily detained. Householders who
have not already provided street-door letter-boxes, are there-
fore reminded that it is pe'culiarly desirable that such pro-
vision be made before the Ist of May,

The Moniteur of yesterday announces the Ministry
as follows :
goreign Affairs—M. Baroche.
Justice—M. Rouher.
Finances—M. Fonld.
Interior—M. Leon Faucher.
Commerce end Agriculture—M. Buffet.
Marine—M. Chasseloup Laubat.
Public astruction—M. de Crouseilhes.
War—General Randon.
Public Works—M. Magne.
' At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, M.
Lao?? FAUCHER ascended the tribune, and read the
following declaration :
" Messieurs,—After an interim the administration of
which will leave honourable remembrances, at the mo-
ment in which the Ministry presents itself for the first
time before you—(Left—' It is not the first time')—
[M. St. Relive demanded to speak]—(Movement)—it is
the duty of that Ministry to make known to you the
intentions which dictated its formation. Members of the
great majority of the Assembly which since the 29th
of May, 1849, has succeeded by the measures which it
has adopted, by its courage, and by its union with the
Executive power, in re-establishing order, reanimating
apros-
perity sec
of securing
thetr
labour,o and lastly, in restoring the
y, vre have doubtless no need to tell
yon that we shall be the energetic defenders of this com-
mon work. But in order to defend it againlythe dan-
gers which menace it, it is, before all, to you,'Messieure,
that
efforts to w©
eought reiliPPteeal. We will therefore consecrate
our the fractions of this majority
which has already done all for the count,_, for it.is
Executive powers to conquer th? bad vrZrnam:tdasr:
criminal attempts'which we may have to co bat.

commanded
us increasing disquietude of the country
a task needing the union of the
us to silence our hesitation.—(lronical laughter on some
benches.) Strengthened, besides, by the intentions of
the Executive power and its loyal declarations, strong,
permit me to add, in our sentiments, we hope by our
cots to merit and to obtain your support. To maintain
order, to cause the law to be respected by everybody,
to fortify authority by the vigilance and the equity of
the Government ; to give to tle Administration a firm
and active impulse; to, secure interests and to calm
minds is the mission, as we understand it, of the Go-
vernment at the present time. We intend to devote
ourselves without reserve to this task, and we have the
hope of being supported in this course by your concur-
rence and the sympathies of the country.
No manifestation of feeling followed the reading of
the declaration.

M. SAINTE-BEIIVE recalled to mind that on the
18th January the then Cabinet fell by a vote of cen-
sure. The three leading members of that condemned
Ministry now presented themselves reinstated in office
before the Assembly, thus casting at the legislative
body the most glaring defiance that was to be found
in the Parliamentary history of France, or of any
other constitutional country. He ended by propos-
ing the following motived order of the day :—" The
National Assembly persists in its resolution of the
18th of January, which declares that it has not
confidence in the Ministry, and passes to the order of
the day."

M. LEON FAUCHER was surprised at the reception
given to the new Ministry by M. SAINTE.BBUYE,
who ought at least to have waited for its acts.
The President declared that he would consult the
Assembly. Several voices called for the pure and
simple order of the day. This proposition, as being
entitled to the priority, was put first to the vote.
The result of the ballot was as follows :—Votes 602 ;
for lthe motion; 327 ; against, 273. Thus the pure
and simple order of the day was adopted by a majo-
rity of 42, in a house of 602.
This decision 'is to be considered not as a vote of
confidence, but as an expression of a desire to give
the new Ministry a fair trial.
Already a formidable opposition is organized
against them. The Republicans of all shades will vote
against any Ministry, of which MM. LEON FAUCHER
and BAROCLIE are members ; the Orleanists who
follow M. Tunics will also oppose them ; and the
Assemblie Nationale, the organ of the Guizot section,
thus speaks of the new Ministry :
" Who can explain the veritable motives for the re-
turn of MM. Baroche, Rouher, and Fould, who have
already been so near to upset the coach? Is such a
selection prudent at the opening of a crisis whioh may
decide the fate of France? We feel no personal hostility
to the honourable names which form this Cabinet; there
are even some amongst them for whom we feel great
esteem and sincere affection, but we persist nevertheless
in saying that such a combination as this is a grave
error, of which the consequences will soon be apparent.
The Patric tells us that these names will appear in the
.Moniteur. We yet hope that the President of the Re-
publie will not commit so capital a fault. There is not
amongst those persons the name of any one of those
members of the Parliamentary majority who took part
in the late discussions between the two powers. The
President has been circumvented, and is deceived. Firm-
ness in the Government is a great quality, but such firm-
ness should not become headstrong obstinacy. Ministries
of defiance have over been fatal to Governments."
The:Legititnatists, notwithstanding the admission of
M. DE CROUSHEILES into the Cabinet, do not seem
inclined to afford the Ministry any very warm sup-
port. The Union says :
" The new Cabinet, it will be seen, is taken exclu-
sively from the party of the £94—that is to say, from
that portion of the majority which declared itself in
favour of the Elysee. It was hoped at one time that the
provisional state of things would be put an end to by a
Cabinet taken from the entire majority, around which
the different shades might have united for the general
interest in order to pass through the crisis which are be-
fore lir. The Elysee has in reality done nothing to
bring about this result; it has wished to confine itself
within the limits of the 294. That being the case it
remains to be seen what attitude the new Cabinet will
assume before the National Assembly."
