DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

This theatre opened last night. The pieces performed were
The Hypocrite, A Good-looking Fellow, and Masaniello.
The bills announced that the interior had been newly painted
and decorated. The gilding on the panels of the boxes has
been refreshed, and a dark crimson ground has been intro-
duced throughout the house, which gives it a warm and hand-
some effect. Upon the rising of the curtain the stage was
presented entirely occupied by members of the company, who
performed the national anthem, Miss Betts, Miss Shirreff, and
Mr. Templeton singing the solos. The only novelty in the
Comedy was the appearance of Mrs. H. Cramer in the part of
Charlotte. The lady is evidently not deficient in e7-perience
of the stage ; indeed she played with rather too much of pro-
fessional tact than too little, and seemed to make her points
more in the routine of habit than from the impulse of feeling.
However, with the present dearth of female talent in genteel
comedy, and considering that Charlotte is not a favourable
part for its display, Mrs. Cramer may be found an acquisition
to the company. We confess that Farren's Cantwell, though
marked with the unfailing stamp of the actor's most finished
and artist-like study, is not to our minds comparable with
many of his other performances, not altogether in itself a happy
effort. The best piece of acting in the Play was decidedly
the Old Lady Lambert of Mrs. C. Jones. This actress,
having subdued some of the asperities of her provincial style,
is becoming one of our very best, and is justly advancing in
the estimation of the public. Mr. Younge and Mrs. Sloman
were most accurate in Sir John and Young Lady Lambert,
and Mr. Wood very sententious in Charles.' Harley's Maw-
worm had all its usual breadth, and was rewarded with re-
peated broad laughs to match, from the galleries especially.
The Comedy was followed with good effect by the humours
of the Manager's Farce, with which the reader is so well ac-
quainted as to require no farther comment. In the Opera an
old favourite of the public was restored to them, and warmly
welcomed. Mr. Sinclair appeared as Masaniello after his long
absence in America. His voice retains all its beauty of tone
and equal power, and he was heartily encored in the ballad,
" My sister dear." Madame Proche Giubilei was the Fenella.
Her pantomime is intelligent and her action graceful ; if her
energy is sometimes a little deficient the defect seems to be
purely physical. The Opera was well got up. The house,
at half price was well filled in every part. The reduction of
the price of admission to the upper circle of boxes, and the re-
gulations attendant upon it will, in all probability, if persevered
in, prove alike beneficial to the lessee and the public.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1834.

FRENCH PAPERS.

( From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.)

Extract of a letter of the 24th inst. from Madrid, received
by express :—" The Urban Militiamen engaged in the riot
of the 17th July have been acquitted. It was at one time
intended to erase their names from the roll of the corps, but
this upon reflection was abandoned, as likely to produce a
revolt. Yesterday this capital presented a spectacle which it
has not exhibited since 1820. It will be recollected that at
that period, on the formation of the National Militia, com-
panies of young volunteers were formed, the eldest of whom
were not more than 12 years old. At Barcelona, a complete
company of this juvenile force was regularly organized, and,
it appears, did duty in several quarters of the town, and
afforded such relief to the regular militia that it was enabled
to go in pursuit of the rebels. Yesterday a troop of these
young soldiers, in excellent order, with drums beating and
colours flying, paraded through several of the streets of
Madrid. The people on seeing this said that the same
occurred at the beginning of 1820, and that it was a pre-
sage of the downfall of public liberty. While these chil-
dren were making this parade at the hour of the siesta, in
the presence of the populace collected by the infernal noise
which preceded them, Quesada attempted, at a review of
the Urban Militia, mustered on the Puerta d'Alcala, to
make his excuses to to the citizen soldiers, by praising the
institution and expressing his entire accordance with it."
Extract of a letter of the 25th instant from Bayonne :
According to the reports of the Carlists, which are spread
with profusion at Bayonne, Zumalacarregui is at present
engaged in organizing the insurrection in that part of Na-
varre which is called the Rivera (the Plain), and the Pre-
tender himself has been put in possession of 1,900 or 1,500
horses, which will enable him to act through the winter be-
yond the mountains. These rumours are, however, contra-
dicted by letters from the head-quarters of Don Carlos,
which have been seized upon a captured spy, who was im-
mediately shot by order of General Espartero. These let-
ters, which have, it is said, been forwarded to General Ha-
rispe, confess that a great degree of discontent prevails in the
ranks of the insurgents, and that Zumalacarregui, in order
to inspire them with terror, has sent the chief, Guibelalde,
to be tried before a court-martial for refusing to obey him.
P.S.—A report has this moment reached us, that Zabala,
who has been prowling about the environs of Bilboa, has
entered the town, which had become deserted on account of
the cholera, and laid the partisans of Isabella 11. under
contribution. We believe that such an occurrence may
take place, but we do not believe that it has yet been ac-
complished. Besides, General Espartero is not far from
Bilboa with 3,000 men, and the Carlists would not be suf-
fered to remain even if they did enter the town."

The Government of Berne received on the 25th ult. a
new note from the Austrian Ambassador, M. de Bombelles,
calling upon it to issue an order for all the Austrians at
present residing in the canton to quit it within 10 days.
The Executive Council replied, that the Austrian Minister
should apply to the Directory of the Republic. The
Council also wrote to the Directory, saying that the can-
tonal Governments could not take upon themselves to play
the part of Austrian Prefects, and that M. de Bombelles
might publish his injunctions himself, without the interven-
tion of the Government of Berne. The Bavarian Envoy
has sent a similar note, to which the same answer has been
returned.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 26th ult. has accounts
from Bavaria, which state that letters of a recent date had
arrived from Greece confirming the entire suppression of
the revolt in Messenia. A letter from Patras, written by
a Bavarian officer at the head of a military detachment em-
ployed against the bands of armed robbers in that neigh-
bourhood, describes the conduct of the latter as marked by
unparalleled cruelty. Not content with pillaging what-
ever comes within their reach, they mutilate the victims of
their depredation by cutting off their noses, ears, and lips.
The sufferers were dreadful to behold, but this very cir-
cumstance would contribute to the more speedy destruc-
tion of the assassin banditti, inasmuch as it had the effect
of rousing the desire of the troops to inflict upon them
just measures of retaliation. The military are encamped
near the principal holds of the robbers, in a churchyard,
round which a rampart has been formed, so as to afford a
tolerably secure position. It is expected they will be
speedily extirpated, for a party of them has been already
blocked up in a defile, and a detachment of our men was
sent to summon them to deliver up their arms. Captain
Axibus, who commanded, having advanced to confer
with the brigand chief, the latter treacherously plunged
his sword into the body of the Captain, who immediately
fell. Lieutenant Mauromichaelis, without hesitation, ordered
his men to fire a volley upon the robbers, and then to charge
them with the bayonet, which was immediately done in gal-
lant style, and such as had escaped the bullets were instantly
cut to pieces. The slaughter was horrible to behold. The men
returned laden with booty, and brought in the wives and
children of the slain. We have had several wounded, al-
though the number of killed has been comparatively trifling.
Lieutenant Mauromichaelis was shot in two places. The
Ist and 3d battalions have received orders to occupy the
Turkish frontier. " About 14 days ago," adds the writer,
" I was ordered to proceed to the bridge over the Sperchios
with 50 men, in order to act against the banditti in that
neighbourhood. VVe found, on our arrival, about 60 of
them, who seemed disposed to contest with us the occupa-
tion of the point, but we fired upon them, and they quickly
took to their heels, leaving us a large quantity of arms and
other effects. A short time previously I was ordered to
proceed with 40 men for the purpose of seizing one of their
chiefs, Costa Balla, who with his men had taken refuge in a
strong tower. As we were in the act of battering in the
gates, we received a warm discharge of musketry, but we
succeeded in effecting our entrance ; we captured the chief
with 15 of his men. Three of the remainder were killed at
the point of the bayonet, and eight were shot in attempting
to fly. The prisoners were immediately tried by a drum-
head court-martial, and executed. A remarkably fine
young woman, belonging to the banditti was, on a recent
occasion, taken in arms fighting most heroically with her
companions. She is now in prison awaiting her trial."
A letter of the 24th ult. from Mentz has the following :
In conformity to the treaty, which prescribes that the
places of Governor and Commandant of the Federal for-
tress of Mentz shall be occupied, during the period of five
veers, by persons alternately appointed by Austria and
*Prussia, the latter Power has appointed Prince William,
brother to the King of Prussia, to be Governor, and Lieut.-
General Baron Von Muffling to be Deputy-Governor. On
the part of Austria, Major-General Baron Piret de Bikain
has been appointed Commandant. The late Austrian Go-
vernor, Count de Mensdorff, quitted Mentz immediately
after having resigned his functions into the hands of his
successor, Prince William."
A letter from Munich states, that the Count de Vau-
dreuil, French Minister at the Court of Bavaria, is danger-
ously indisposed.
Extract of a letter from Oran, dated the 17th ult.:—
" I have no news to send you but accounts of duels. This
rage for cutting one another's throats on the most frivolous
pretences is gaining upon all classes. I will, however, only no-
tice those which have had fatal results. It is quite enough to
record the names of the victims of those deplorable conflicts
between persons who merited a better fate, who have escaped
the bullets of the enemy to fall by one from the hand of a
comrade or a friend. The Chef d'Escadron Torigny has
been mortally wounded in an encounter with M. Laguerre,
a surgeon attached to the hospital of Mostaganem. A
Polish Captain has been killed in a combat with the Aide-
de-Camp of Major-General Sauzet. We can only obtain
provisions at distant periods. Our resources are becoming
daily exhausted, and our position, in this respect, is painful.
We, however, enjoy perfect peace."
A letter of the 24th ult. from Toulon says—" We are
now informed that the squadron will not go to any distance
from this port, but will continue to cruise about, for the
purpose of instructing the young sailors in their duty. No
orders have been received to suspend the fitting out of the
Montebello and Scipion for sea, and the levy of sailors is
still continued in all the ports."
The Courrier Francais announces, that within the last
two days the commerce of Paris has been greatly agitated
by the failure of three first-rate commission-houses. The
amount of their debts is said to be nearly 3,000,000 f. In
consequence of these disasters, which must have an effect
on many secondary firms, the bankers in the habit of dis-
counting commercial bills have very much circumscribed
their discounts, and a complete crisis is expected at the
end of the year. The panic is come to such a pitch, that
several of the first banking-houses have almost entirely re-
fused to make any advances upon bills which fall due in
December. The Journal de Tissus says on this subject—
" The whole of the merchants in the quarter of the Rue du
Sentier and the Rue du Gros Chenet have for the last two
days been seriously occupied with the failure of a house
which carried on a very extensive business with England and
America. Its debts in Paris amount in all to 1,000,000 f.,
and in the quarters above-mentioned to 300,000 f. One
house alone, in the Rue du Sentier, dealing in painted cloth,
is a creditor for 75,000 f. The rest of the sufferers in Paris
are divided between the quarter of the Rue des Bourdon-
nais and the Rue St. Denis. The whole amount owing by
this house is said to be not less than 2,000,000 f., one half
of which is due at St. Etienne and Lyons. It is at the same
time reported that its assets are next to nothing in compa-
rison to its debts."
BounsE, TUESDAY, Sept. 30.—The French Routes have
again improved ; the three per Cents. are at this moment
77f. 10c. to 15c. The Spanish stock remains stationary,
the 5 per Cents. being 42, and the 3 per Cents. 28 ; Cor-
tes, 42i ; Royal Loan, 39. A great deal of business has
been done in French stock, this being the settling day for
the premiums. In Spanish stock there is not so much bu-
siness at present. No report of any telegraphic despatch,
which seems rather extraordinary ; perhaps one will be

1111

published when too late to be of any public use at the
Bourse.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 30.

Tuesday Night.
The following race was decided after our account left the
Heath:—
Fifty Pounds, for four-years-old and upwards ; five yrs., Set. 51b. ;
six yrs., Bst. 111 b. ; and aged, 9st. B.C.

Mr. Greville's Chantilly, 4 yrs 2
Mr. Biggs's Little Red Rover, aged 3
Lord Lichfield's Dissolution, 5 yrs
At the commencement of the betting Red Rover was backed
against the field, but at the finish it was 7 to 4 agst him, 6 to
4 agst f. by Oscar, 3 to 1 agst Chantilly, and 10 to 1 agst
Dissolution. Little Red Rover took the lead, and for about
three miles made all the play, the other three lying close up ;
at the turn of the lands he gave way, and the others ran to-
gether till near the Duke's Stand, where Dissolution gave up;
f. by Oscar and Chantilly kept company a few strides farther,
and then the latter was beaten ; f. by Oscar continued in front
to the end, and won in a canter by six lengths.
The Hopeful Stakes was a very pretty race ; there were two
or three false starts, but the actual one was decidedly the best
ever seen for so short a distance. All got off in a perfect line,
and continued to the bushes, Eva, Camlet, Medea, Kate Kear-
ney, Waresti, and Madame d'Jeck, being most forward, Eva
all the time looking a winner ; in the ropes she got away from
thorn the others, amongst whom there was a regular rush at the
end. Eva was first by a length, Madame d'Jeck second, and
Waresti third ; behind there were Kate Kearney, Camlet, and
Medea ; the others were pretty well up, with the exception of
Catalina, Mohair, and The Brigand, who were beaten off.
