"We never commence the perussi of works on this malady with-

sufferings. It was, therefore, a most agreeable surprise to us to
find this error (as it appears to us) carefully avoided in this work,

Mr. Humphreys—As far as forks and plate are con-

object to any money being returned when a robbery in-

THE WEATHER.

Since the memorable storm, or typhoon rather,
of ARril, 1850, Dublin • has not been visited by
weather of such peculiar severity as was witnessed
here yesterday. For nearly four hours the rain
fell with but slight interruptions as though a water-
spout had burst overhead, the intervals being filled
tip by the descent of hail showers which from their
density almost darkened the air. Some of the
hailstones were the size of small marbles, and did
considerable damage in the smashing of windows
iii places exposed to the full fury of the storm.
The wind all the while blew wildly from the north-
west, and it is feared that the fruit blossoms have
suffered to a terrible extent. No thunder was
heard during the day.

NEW VESSELS LONGER THAN THE LEVIATHAN.—WhiIe
public attention has been attracted so strongly by the
unusual dimensions of the Leviathan that the name of
that vessel is in everybody's mouth, it happens singu-
larly enough that two vessels of greater leogtb, and of
a snore remarkable character, have been advancing to
completion in Liverpool without the general public
being oven cognisant of their existence. These vessels
are each 700 feet long. They have been constructed
by Messrs. Vernon and Son, fur the Oriental Inland
Steam Company, and are intended for the naviga-
tion of the Indian rivers. The purpose cf their
peculiar features of construction, is to enable a large
cargo to be carried at a good rate of speed upon a light
draught of water. The great rivers of India, though
penetrating far into the interior, and though containing
large volumes of water, are, nevertheless, shallow
during the dry season. The vessels navigating them
must, therefore, float very light, and yet they mast have
displacement enough to carry a good cargo. They
must have strength enough not to suffer injury if they
should get
to theetagro water a
aground, and
toth be ableeymust ptrocasecnhtiesvaect a

indications are admirably fulfilled in these vesitAfe.—

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The Whitsun holidays were signalised last night at
Astley'e by the first presentation of en Equestrian Chi-
valric Spectacle, in two acts, written, says the play-bill,
by "a popular author," and entitled "The White Pal-
frey; or, the Wild Boar of the Fens." The scene is laid
in Lincolnshire, in the middle ages, when Barons waged
war with each other, and committed such atrocities as
are only fitted for pourtrayal by our modern mile-dra-
matic actors. The monster on the present oacasion is
the Baron de Moutford, otherwise known as the Wild
Boar of the Fens, be having obtained this complimen-
tary soubriquet from his tyrannous and ravaging pre-pen-
alties. In this drama we find him snatching from her
home and her lover, Florence de Mowbray, and convey-
ing her to his castle, where be threatens her with every
outrage. Ile is, of course, impeded in his wicked course
by the Baron do Mowbray, the reputed father of the
hapless damsel, by her very heroic page, Roland, who
dares ennuaabereal Jangara in her 1,1110110, and al.s by
Bea' rice de Montrevor, a victim of De Moutferd's, who
haunts his castle. These opponents, of course, in the
end triumph, and after eight scenes of heir-breadth 'scapee
and the most imminent danger, Florence and R, I Led
are united, amidst the shouts of joy of the loyal
followers of De Mowbray and a grateful peasantry,
hilt the Wild Boar of the Fens meets his deserved
death from the spear of his outraged foes, ainidstither
exeerationP, and a castle crumbling to pieces, in lurid
flames and blue fire. The interest of the piece was well
maintained, and the bye-play of Messrs. Anson and
Croueste kept the gods in uproarious delight. Tee
"spectacle" was followed by some excellent tight-rope
dancing, by "Le Petit Roussilli," a little fello v who
looks about ten years of age, and whose feats in this
de-
partment were of a very superior order. Other enter-
tainments succeeded, including a lesson in horse-taming,
and with such a variety all must have felt that they had
an abundance for their money.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.
The fete of Whitsuntide having been observed as
a strict holiday, not one of the Paris journals has
been published..
The Algesiras and Eylau, French screw line-of
battle-ships, who entrance into the Adriat'c, from
Toulon, we have alrtady mentioned, anchored on
the 20th at Gravosa, on the coast of that sea. The
port of Gravosa is situated on the coast of Dalmatia,
in the circle of Ragusa, and at a short distance from
that town, of which it is considered a suburb. It is
at Gravosa, which is very well sheltered, that large
vessels which cannot enter Ragusa come to an an-
chor, and it is there also that all the building yards
are situated. Gravosa derives its name from a large
village close by on the coast, containing the Church
of St. Croix, celebrated throughout the whole of
Dalmatia for the number of pilgrimages made to it
The arrival of these two vessels excited conside:w
able interest, and on the 21st they were visited by
a number of the principal inhabitants of Ragusa
and the neighbourhood.
BOURSE, May 24.—The market has been slightly

A Berlin letter, in the German Journal of Frank-

commission to be appointed to settle the affairs of
Montenegro shall assemble at Vienna. In the
political dircles of this capital the most serious ob-
jections are raises against that suggestion, and it
appears very doubtful whether consent will be given
fur the negotiations to take place in the capital of
the most decided adversary of Mont'negro."

THE GREAT GLOBE.

Yesterday afternoon the Dioramas of the Sapoy Re-

deal of information may he obtained by a visit.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The three days' amusements for Whitsuntide com-
menced yesterday, and were patronised by 29,731 visi-
tors. During the day there were several showers, but
between them the appearance of the grounds and sur-
rounding scenery was such as thoroughly to delight the
numl,ers who availed themselves of the intervals of sun-
shine to survey them. The building seemed sufficiently
attractive to keep the larger number within it. Many
appeared deeply interested at the sight of the centrifugal
pump, machinery in motion, great water towers,
and the great gold nugget—the latter being only at the
palace for a short time, as it is to be removed from this
part of the world after to-morrow. Tile orchestral band
of the company, and the Handel Festival organ, the
former musical attractions, are now assisted by a wind
band, which is worthy of being placed with them. A
portion of it attended in the grounds during the Morrisand Maypole dances, and other holidv,hvichamusements,had
about
arranged by Mr, Nelson Lee,
12,000 of the visitors for spectator. d The spot for these
pastimes was so well chosen, that more an 2Q,@00
people might have seen them easily from the surround-
ing high ground. They will be repeated to-morrow,
and as that will be the last opportunity of seeing the
monster nugget, there will probaWy be a large attend
ance. The now arrangements for exit by the station
workzd admirably, and saved at least two hours in the
time of the party leaving.

WHITSUNTIDE AMUSEMENTS,

PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

The extraordinary popularity achieved by Mr. Charles
Kean's first performance of King Lear "has increased,
is increasing, an.l ought not to be diminished," Of suc'n
a consummation, however, there is as little likelihood as
of the universal adoption of the Maine liquor law, the
restoration of Mr. Smith to Cannon-row, or any prodi-
gious event equally far remote from the bounds of pro-
babiLty. Each succa,7sive representation serves but to
confirm the general opinion, that by his embodiment of
this most sublime of Shakespeare's tragic conceptions,
our great actor has attained the topmost round, and
woo an enduring renown as bright and solid as could
possibly enwreathe the most ambitious aspirant to
histrionic fame. The distraction of the discrowned
monarch is pourtrayed by him with equal power, whe-
ther the predominant &stress of that distracted mind
appear to arise from filial ingratitu le or the loss of
royalty. From the first, when seated in barbaric pomp
in the hall hung round with spoils of the chase and bossy
shields, ho partitions the sovereignty of his realms, to
the closing scene of the strange eventful history, when
the ovensorn spirit sinks beneath accumulated griefs,
the Lear of Mr. Kean presents an unbroken perfection
of acting, and commands with magic power the pro-
foundest sympathies of the audiesca for the injured
father and the degraded king. In this his last, and
perhaps greatest triumph, Mr. Kean is admirably
assisted by the efficiency of his subordinate.. Mr.
Ryder and Mr. Walter Lacy are deserving of marked
praise, and the high anticipations we hal sustained of
Miss Kate Terry's excellence as an actress during her
rapid growth in staturo and in favour, have been fulfilled
by her exquisitely pure and graceful delineation of the
tender Conklin.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The Whiteun holidays were eignalieed last night at
Astley'e by the first presentation of an Equestrian Chi-
valric Spectacle, in two acts, written, says the play-bill,
by "a popular author," and entitled "Tile Waite Pal-
, frey ; or, the Wild Boar of the Fens." Tee scene is laid
in Lincolnshire, in the middle ages, when Barons waged
war with each other, aad committed such atrocities as
are only fitted for pourtrayal by our moder❑ melodra-
matic actors. Ile monster on the rreseut oacasion is
the Baron de Montford, otherwise kno an as the Wild
Boar of the Fers, he having obtained this complimen-
tary sanbriTtet from his tyrannous and ravaginv, pia pen•
sitieo. In this drama we find him snatching from leer
home and her lover, Florence de Mowbray, and convey-
ing her to his castle, where he threatens her with every
outrage. He is, of course, impeded in his wicked course
by the Baron de Mowbray, the reputed father of the
hapless damsel, by her very heroic page, Roland, who
dares unnumbered dangers in her rescue, and also by
Bca'rice de Montrevor, a victim of De Montford'a, who
haunts his castle. These opponents, of course, in the
cad triumph, and after eight scenes of hair-breadth 'scapes
and the most imminent danger, Florence and Roland
are united, amidst the snouts of joy of the loyal
followers of De Mowbray and a grateful peasantry,
whilst the Wild Boar of the Fens meeta his deserved
death from the spear of his outraged foes, amidst their
execration', and a castle crumbling to pieces:, in lurid
flame:i and blue fire. The interest of the piece was well
maintained, and the bye-play of Messrs. Anson and
Creueste kept the gods in uproarious delight. Toe
"spectacle" was followed by some excellent tight-rope
dancing, by " Le Petit Roussilh," a little fellow who
looks about ten years of age, and whose feats in this de-
partment were of a very superior order. Ocher enter-
tainments succeeded, including a lesson i❑ horse-taming,
and with such a variety all must have felt that they had
an abundance for their money.

THE WRECK OF THE A VA.

So little of an authentic character has transpired with
reference to the loss of this beautiful but ill-fated ship,
that the following extract from a letter, received from one
who bad served on board of her, will doubtless be read
with interest. It is dated from "The Ava Camp, April
10. The efforts which we have made for the recovery of
the Government treasure have, thank God, been at-
tended with a degree of success which the most sanguine
amongst us never ventured to anticipate. We have con-
tinued our occupation of the camp on the shore, of
which I it.formed you in my former letter, and have
worked, to use an old expression, like true British
sailors.' I must do our fellows the justice to say that
duty has been the first consideration with them, and
that very little selfishness has been displayed by any
one engaged. Of course our duties have not been of
the most agreeable kind, but I must give you another
adage, reward sweetens labour,' and whether we ever
shalt get properly recompensed by the Government or
no it certainly is very encouraging to see so many boxes
of bright gold brought up, albeit that one has to work
up to his neck in water. Of course we are not without
protection, and Commodore Watson' who c)mmands
the East India squadron, is hero in her Majesty's fri-
gate Chesapeake, having come to render us every assist-
-11 of
Luxe in his power. He is a glorious fellow, and his pre-

THE ALHAMBRA.

Among the places affording shelter, as well as atnug ,-
tnent, which were yesterday resorted to by the holiday-
makers in large numbers, the Alhambra was not the
least popular. At the day performance, which, from the
spaciousness and lively decoration of the building, suf•
feted less from the absence of gas-light than such enter-
tainments usually do, the house was completely filled, a
larger proportion than usual of the spectators consißting
of children, whose uiirtJ4tiained enjoyment of the pro-
ceedings considerably heightened that of their elders.
The entertainment provided by Messrs. Howes and
Cushing was the same as that recently given before her
MajFs'y, and exhibited all the novelty and variety
ehich the feats of the circus admit of. Mr. bundle cre-
ated much applause and a little shuddering by his ifficult
peiformance of the "Crystal Pyramids," and the " Roman
Brothers" displayed astonishing strength and agility in
various gymnastic efforts, including ono of a new cha_
meter, entitled "Globe la Percbe." Tho equine inem,
berg the troupe pl,yed their part admirably. "
Eagle" could not have given more proofs of docility and
intelligence had he enjoyed the tuition of Mr. Itarey him-
self ; and the two "comic mules," Pete and Berney,
caused roars of laughter by the irresistible manner in
which they threw, one after another, the aspiring bo)
who accepted the offer of a ride round the circle. Many
of the usual feats of equestrianism were gone through
in a superior manner, and on bare-backed steeds, and
the two clowns made the most of the various intervAs
by jokes and repartees, which were productive of much
juvenile merriment.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
The fete of Whitsuntide having been observed as
a strict holiday, not one of the Paris journals has
been published.
The Algesiras and Eylan, French screw line-of
battle-ships, who entrance into the Adriat'c, from
Toulon, we have already mentioned, anchored on
the 20th at Gravosa, on the coast of that sea. Tee
port of Gravosa is situated on the coast of Dalmatia,
in the circle of Ragusa, and at a short distance from
that town, of which it is considered a suburb. It is
at Gravosa, which is very well sheltered, that large
vessels which cannot enter Ragusa come to an an-
chor, and it is there also that all the building yards
are situated. Gravosa, derives its name from a large
village close by on the coast, containing the Church
of St. Croix, celebrated. throughout the whole of
Dalmatia for the number of pilgrimages made to it
The arrival of these two vessels excited consider•
able interest, and on the 21st they were visited by
a number of the principal inhabitants of Ragusa
and the neighbourhood.
BOURSE, May 24. 'he market has been slightly

acted has been very limited. It has been reported

MONTENEGRO.

A Berlin letter, in the German Journal of Frank-
fort, says :--" Austri t proposes that the special
commission to b,-.) appointed to settle the affairs of
Montenegro shall assemble at Vienna. In the
political circlei of this capital the most serious ob-
jections are raisel against that suggestion, and it
appears very doubtful whether consent will be given
for the negotiations to take place in the capital of
the most decided adversary of Montenegro."
