DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last evening a new five act drama, entitled " The
Adventurer" was produced here with complete success.
The drama is founded on the story of "Madame Barbe
Bleue," by Eugene Sue, and the hero of the piece is a
certain Gascon, the Chevalier de Croustillac (Mr. B.
Sullivan). The drama opens with a beautiful view of
Martinique, and the arrival of the frigate Unicorn from
France. The Chevalier by some means or other con-
trives to get on board the ship previous to her leaving
France, and when she was thirty leagues from land, the
captain informs us, he first made his appearance, and
by his polite and entertaining conversation he managed
to secure the good will of all on board. To prevent
his being taken into custody on the arrival of the
ship at Martinique he esconces himself in a
cask, and just as a bumper is being drunk to his me-
mory he makes his appearance. The story of Madam
Barbe Bleue is then related, and the gallant chevalier
determines to woo and wed the lady, although it is
reported she has already buried three husbands. He
sets forth on his journey to the fiends' mountain, and
on his way he encounters a bluff buccaneer, who is no
other person than the Duke of Monmouth, who has not
been executed in London. The duke is living at Mar-
tinique incog. with his wife, and the story of Madam
Barbs Bleue has been invented to keep away intruders.
The Chevalier informs the buccaneer of his intention, and
he is forthwith conducted to the fiends' mountain, and on
his arrival he is arrested as the Duke of Monmouth,
whose place of refuge has been discovered. On die-
covering the true state of affairs, he saves the Duke and
hii lady from the most imminent perils, and finally
sails with them for Barbadoes. The acting of Mr.
Sullivan was highly artistic, and his conception of the
part of the gascon, a sort of Don Caesar de Bazan, was
perfect. Miss Cleveland, as the Duchess, gave aitiother
proof of the great ability she possesses, and Mr. C.
Verner, as the Duke, was excellent. The scenery by
Beverley is exceedingly beautiful, and the piece has
been put on the stage with great taste. At the conclu-
sion of the play Mr. B. Sullivan received the honour of
a call, and the piece was announced for repetition every
evening.

Viscount Wellesley has arrived at the Clarendon from

ACCIDENT TO -LADY STEWART.—The Malta. Times of
7th says :--" It is reported that H.M.S Hannibal,
bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart,
K.C.8., which has completed her repairs in the dry-
dock, leaves in a day or two for Eogland, but we regret
to learn that Lady Stewart burst a blood-vessel on
Friday last, and that her ladyship still lies in a preca-
rious state. It is not improbable, therefore, that this
lamentable occurrence may delay the departure of Sir
Houston Stewart for some days."

QUEEN.—We are happy to be enabled to announce that
her Majesty, upon learning the straitened circumstances
in wnich the two unmarried daughters of the late Mr.

incapacitated him for many years from the exercise of
his profession, has in the most kind manner granted them
a pension of 501. a-year out of her privy purse.

Hale, Archdeacon of Louden and Canon of

before the Vicar-General, Dr. Twiss, to the office of
Official with the city and diocese of London during the
vacancy of the see of London. This appointment is
made under an ancient composition between Archbishop
Boniface, some time Archbishop of Canterbury, and the
Dean and Chapter of St. Pam's, under which the latter
body have the privilege of nominating three of the
canons of their cathedral church, from whom the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury selects an Official, who is em-
powered to discharge the functions usually performed by
the Vicar-General of the Archbishop during the vacancy
of a diocesan see.

:I.dvices from Galata, received by Messrs. Henry
Powell and Sons, state that the Indian corn harvest had
commenced, and that the quality is excellent. In addl.
t ion to the largs fleet already in port, nearly 200 veer Is
were reported to be in the river, and freights were con-
sequently low. Stocks of all grain were light, and arrivals
from the interior were delayed by want of labour. The
Commissioners for settling the new boundary line in
Bessarabia had nearly completed their work. In a
few days they would reach Tornaia and the Pruth, and
it was eaid that the English and French Commissioners,
after arriving at Tornaia, will await at Reel instruc-
tions from Paris relative to the subject of Bolgrad. It
was also reported that the Russians are becoming less
disposed to resist the demands of the allies ors this
point.
