SURREY.

An original three act romantic play, entitled "Right
and Wrong ; or, Smiles and Tears," has been produced
at this theatre with perfect success. The serious
interest, which is very intense, rests on the old
subject of woman's confidingness and man's faith-
lessness. Nelly Mayfield (Miss Margaret Eburne)
trusts more than woman should do to Edgar
Cresford, jun. (Mr. Shepherd), who, though by no means
a villain, forsakes her for Lady Emeline Douglass, for
the sake of is father, Mr. Edgar Cresford, sen., an
insolvent hanker, who thinks to prop up his house by
the union of his sen with a rich heiress, as he supposes.
The miseries consequent on such a marriage are revealed
to the father in a dream, and he is only too happy, on
awakening, to give his consent to the marriage of his
son with her village ladylove. The pathetic scenes be-
tween Mary and her father, Farmer Mayfield (Mr. Ores-
wick), deeply moved the audience. Both Miss Eburne
and Mr. Creswick, by their powerful but natural acting,
commanded the deepest attention, and excited a very
strong sympathy from the audience. The part of the
father, indignant and raging, then crazed and remorse-
' ful, and finally tender and forgiving to his dying child,
formed a sequel:lee of powerful situations, which Mr.
Creswick so well knows how to give a full and artistic
effect to. Miss Eburne was also truthful, graceful, and
pathetic in the extreme. The play is admirably put on
the stage, and the scenery by Mr. Dalby and Mr.
Smythies, is extremely clever and picturesque. The out-
door rural scenes were remarkably pictorial, and indeed
the whole getting up is very perietA and tifootive from
beginning to end.

Yesterday the marriage of the Earl of Euston, eldest
son of the Duke and Duchess of Grafton, with Miss
Baring, only daughter of the Hon. Francis B. Baring,
was celebrated in St. George's Church, Hanover-square,
in the presence of a brilliant circle of friends.
The death of Mr. Horsley Palmer, whose name for 50
years has been among the most eminent and honourable
in connection with British commerce, was announced
yesterday. Mr. Palmer was elected a director of the
Bank of England in 1811, filled the post of governor for
three successive years (1830 to 1832), and at the date of
his retirement last April was senior member of the
Court. His withdrawal from the active business of his
firm was notified at the opening of the present year.
In April next the contract time of the Brazil mail

ALLEGED FLOGGING ON THE COAST OP AFRICA.
We are authorised to give a most unqualified contradic-
tion to a report which obtained currency some months
ago, that a man was flogged to death on board the Vesu-
vius, the surgeon looking on at the time. We are in a
position to state that so far from that having beta the
case, the punishments on board that ship have been very
few, and those not carried into effect with any undue
severity. None of the men so punished have complained,
and have returned to their duty at the usual time.—

GALLANT DISCI:7E OF A SHIPWREIFIED CREW.—
YOUGHAL, Feb. B.—This morning a None egian barque,
called the Galatea, from Swedistown, in standing in for
this port in mistake for Queenstown, were on shore on
the bay during a heavy gale from S.S.E. The perilous
position of her crew having been •observed, the lifeboat,
which the Royal National Lifeboat Institution had
recently stationed here manned by her gallant coxswain
and crew, was soon launched, and nobly did she pursue
her way through the surf to the stranded vessel, and
brought her exhausted crews consisting of 14 persons, on
shore, amidst the acclamations of the people. Two pilot
boats attempted to reach the ship, but were compelled
to return to the shore from the force of the wind and
heavy sea. The behaviour of the lifeboat on this her first
trip elicited the unbounded admiration of her crew, and
of all who witnessed the valuable at rvices.

questions be submitted to the various localities, and
that should cause for a dismissal exit at any time a new

to receive any remuneration, and the motion was nega-
tived. A resolution for the morrow's proceedings was
framed and agreed to, after which the conference ad-
journed. In our impression of Tuesday it was stated that
