SURREY THEATRE.

The entertainments provided forthe present week by the
enterprising managers ci this theatre are comprised under
two genera--" Musical Reminiscences," and " Sketches
from Nature." The first of these consists of a miscella-
neous selection of songs from the poets and musicians c f
England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a selection more
characteristic of the musical and national sprit of the
three countries could not be made. These were inter-
preted with great folic;ty and power by Mrs. E. F. Gros-
venor and Mr. H. Phillips, each of whom displayed great
facility of expressing the onga of each country in the
orthodox intonation. In " There's nae Luck about the
House," Mrs. Grosvenor was thoroughly Scotch, and
intensely Irish in " Savourneen Dheelish." Both of
which, as well as other songs, were rendered with pathos,
taste, and feeling, and much applauded. Mr. Phillips,
in " The Groves of Blarney," was thoroughly at home
in the brogue, and elicited uproarious manifestations of
mirth and approbation—Power, in his happiest moments
never sang it more effectively. The late Dr. Maginn
addedsome verses to this song, and as they do not ap-
pear to be generally known we subjoin them, in the hope
of hearing them delivered some time by such an accom-
plished and popular vocalist as Mr. Phidtps :
" 0 there is a stone there that whoever kisses,
He never misses to grow eloquent.
'Tis he may clamber to a lady's chamber
Or become a member of Parliament.
A clever Touter he'll soon turn out, or
An out-and-outer to be let alone.
Don't hope to hinder him or to bewilder him.
Sure he's a pilgrim from the Blarneystone."

The songs were introduced with appropiate remarlo,
and anecdotes by Mr. Phillips, who also presided at the

p;ano.

THE DRAMA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—At the meeting of literary and dramatic dons
on Monday evening, the distinguished chairman traced
the origin of the drama to a very remote period, but
permit me, with all respect to Mr. Tbackeray to say,
that he scarcely went far enough. If he had
gone back to one thousand years previous to the
nativity of our Saviour, he would have found on
Indian soil the drama of "Sacontala," written in San-
sera. If any of your readers are curious on this subj,ct,
I advise them to call in at the British Museum to see if
Pencraft has not produced a translation. Apologising
for my presumption, I am, sir, yours truly,

MODIFICATION OF PASSPORT RESTRICTIONS AT HAVRE.

quence of the painful inconvenience to which British
suhjects, arriving almost daily at that port from distant
parts of the world, have been exposed by the impossi-

countries, our countrymen will in future be permitted to
land at Havre without passports, on satisfying the

THE PATRIOTIC FUND.

The first and second reports of the Royal Com-
missioners of the Patriotic Fund have been pub-
lished in the form of a blue-book. The second
report is dated Feb. 9, 1858. The Patriotic Fund
now amounts to 1,453,0451., and since the resto-
ration of peace a more liberal provision has been
made for widows and orphans by an increased
scale of allowances. It has been decided to
endow an institutio❑ fur the education of 300
daughters of soldiers, sailors, and marines, and
a sum of money has been set apart for the estab-
lishment of a similar institution for the sons of
the same. The Commissioners have bought
the right of a limited number of presentations
to Wellington College, the Cambridge Asylum, the
Naval and Military Schools of Portsmouth and
Plymouth the Royal Naval Female School. The
total number of the widows of the primary class
wbo had actually applied for relief up to the latest
return is 3,156, and in connection with them were
3,840 children, exclusive of 166 orphans who had
lost both parents. Of the above, 44 widows, 192
children, and three orphans have dyed since placed
on the list. The total number of the second class—
that of officers' widows and children—in the
receipt of allowances from the fund is 351 (122
widows, 217 children, and 127 orphans bereaved
of both parents.) The Commissioners next advert to
certain charges adduced against them by the
Duke of Norfolk and Archbishop Cullen. The
correspondence on the subject is given in the appen-
dix to report. The Commissioners say that they
have entered with reluctance into the refutation of
these painful accusations, but they think it due to
the Queen, the public, and themselves to repudiate
and unequivocally contradict charges so erroneous,
so derogatory, and so calculated to check the
future flow oe national benevolence in the direc-
tion of similar charities, by undermining confi-
dence in the integrity of the public bodies to whom
their management may he intrusted. An account in
the appendix shows that of the Patriotic Fund
884,990/. was from England and Wales, 60,0461.
from Ireland, 149,7461. from Scotland, 12,0991.
from the army, navy, dockyards, hospitals, civil
service, and police ; 315,3891. from British posses-
sions abroad ; and 30,7711. from British residents
and others abroad. The receipts of the fund up to
Dec. 31, 1857, were 1,645,9211., and the expendi-
ture 219,2191., leaving a balance of 1,426,7021., of
which sum 1,409,9991. has been invested in termin-
able annuities, colonial stocks, railway debentures,
and Turkish 4 per cent. debentures. The sum of
16,6871. is deposited as cash in the Bank of Eng-
land. The total assets are estimated at 1,384,6281.
and the liabilities at 1,342,1151., leaving a balance
of 42,512/. Such is a synopsis of the report.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
IN RE BAWL-PETITION FOR JUDGMENT.

This was a competition for priority of claims between
the assignee of a chosen action and the assignee under
bankruptcy for a property purchased by the bankrupt of
tLe value of about 1,0001.

In 1810 a commission of bankruptcy was issued against
the bankrupt, and assignees or trustees were appointed
under the Bankruptcy Act. In 1818 the bankrupt suc-
ceeded to 1,0001., purchased the property in question,
and assigned it for an annuity. Notice of the assignment
was then given to the assignees in bankruptcy.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that
the chosen assignee of the bankrupt, having done all that
he could do to obtain pssession, by giving notice of his
assignment to the assignees or trustees in bankruptcy,
the chosen assignee was preferable to the assignees in
bankruptcy, and declared accordingly, but without costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. CommieAioner Fane.)
IN RE J. MARKS.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD.—To-day was appointed for th•
last examination of this bankrupt, who had carried on
busiaess as a coach builder at Paddington, and who was
convicted a few months since of conspiring to defraud
his creditors, and was sentenced to eight years' penal
servitude.

Messrs'. Butler and Cannings, who bad been employed
by the creditors, discovered that goods to the amount of
12,0001. and upwards had been fraudulently takes out
of stock and consigned to Sydney, but the goods were
so badly packed that the carriages were so much injured
that it cannot realise by a very large amount the invoice
price as above, and the assignees had been compelled to
refuse the offer made ; but there was a fund of 2,3001. in
hand to meet debts proved for 20,000/.
The bankrupt had taken no steps to furnish any
accounts, and the assignees did not think it necessary to
put the estate to the expense of bringing the bankrupt
up from Leicester gaol.

The examination was adj )urned sine die, and, at the
request of the creditors, a dividend meeting was ap-
pointed to divide the assets in band.
Mr. Wilkinson appeared for the assignees.

COURT 01" ALDERME.N.

Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of
business.

WARD OF LIME-STREET.

The LORD MAYOR--I am very sorry to say that
since our last meeting I have received information,
from the Deputy of the Ward of Lime-street, of the
decease of Mr. Alderman Farebrother. I have
this day issued my precent for the election of an
alderman for the vacant ward to-morrow (this day)
week.

THE NEWLY-ELECTED ALDERMAN FOR THE WARD

OF CHEAP.

Mr. Sheriff Allen, who was lately elected alder-
man of this ward, attended for the purpose of being
sworn into office.

Mr. WHITE, jun., in introducing that gentleman,
said—My Lord Mayor,—l beg to present to you
Mr. Sheriff Allen, who has been considered by the
electors of the ward of Cheap as a fit and proper
person to represent them in this Court. You have
known Mr. Sheriff Allen much longer than I have.
As far as the ward is concerned, we believe that we
have selected a gentleman whose property, know-
ledge, talent, and gentlemanly bearing qualify him
efficiently to perform the duties of the office to
which he has been elected. (Cheers.)
Mr. Sheriff ALLEN then made the customary de-
clarations, and was sworn into office.
At the conclusion of this ceremony, Mr. Alder-
man and Sheriff Allen, after receiving the con-
gratulations of the Lord Mayor and the other
members of the Court, took his seat.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 27th says :--" The
Second Chamber in its sittings of yesterday and to-
day voted the budget of the administration of mines
and salt works, which gives a revenue of 2,991,888
thalers, and that of the post-office, 1,927,425
thalers. The post-office maintains four lines of
steam navigation—one from Stettin to St. Peters-
burg, one from StrAlsund. to Ystadt in Sweden,
the other from Stettin to Copenhagen, arid the
fourth from Stettin to Stockholm. The first is
the only one of which the receipts exceed the ex-
penses ; the other three require subventions from
the government. That for the Stockholm line
is .very large, but Prussia, in taking pcssession
of the Duchy of Pomerania, which formerly
belonged to Sweden, contracted the obliga-
tion to keep up communications between the two
countries ; the government, however, is negotiat-
ing with Sweden to provide them at a cheaper rate.
The Prussian post-office in 1857 conveyed
115,000,000 letters and 11,500,000 parcels ;
7,000,000 of the letters and parcels contained money
or securities of the value of nearly 1,220,000,000
thalers. The Climber has also voted the budgets
of the porcelain and earthenware manufactories,
which prceluce only a small revenue. The
budget of the administration of telegraphs shows
that the receipts exceeded the expenses by
241,000 thalers' and 200,000 of them are
to he employed in completing the telegraphic
lines, the length of which at th; end of the present
year will be 4,625 English miles. Prussia is the
first country on the Continent which established
telegraphic lines and opened them to the public,
and it was she who formed the Austro-Germ;n
Telegraphic Union. The sum she has disbursed
for the construction of her lines is 1,700,000
thalers."

AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.
" After the return of the Baron de Bourqueney
to this capital," says a letter from Vienna, in the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin, '' he received despatches
from Prince de Latour-d'Auvergne, the French
Minister at Turin, in which it was stated that the
Sardinian Cabinet was desirous of resuming diplo-
matic relations with Austria as soon as possible.
Negotiations took place between Baron de Bour-
queney and Count de Buol. The latter fixed the con-
ditions on which Austria would consent to comply
with the wish of Sardinia, and the matter was in a
fair way of arrangement. Since that period, the
attitude of the Cabinet of Turin with regard to the
press, and the comments of the latter on late events
in France, have to a certain extent checked these
negotiations. Moreover, as the Cavour Cabinet
does not appear very solid, in consequence of the
attitude of the Chamber on the Da Foresta Bill, it
does not appear advisable to continue negotiations
with a Ministry which must sooner or later leave
office. Under these circumstances the negotiations
have been adjourned until the question of the
future Cabinet shall have been solved so as to offer
guarantees to Austria."

THE REVENUE.

The account of the Revenue for the Quarter
will be a favourable one ; the Revenue having
recovered from the effects of the commercial crisis
during the last two months.

There is an increase on almost all the heads of
Revenue as compared with the corresponding
quarter of last year, notwithstanding the reduc-
tion of duties on tea, coffee, sugar, malt, &c.

ITALY.

A letter from Turin, in the Courrier des Apes,
says :
" The political refugees, after having circulated
numbers of copies of Orsini's portrait and biography,
have published a second edition of his political me•
moire, in which hatred of Napoleon 111. is preached
without disgui,e ; and in which his death is alluded
to as the only means of salvation for Italy. In the
presence of these events, every body inquires what
will be the conduct of Government. Is it acquainted
with them or nor, or does it not wish to have its
attention [directed to them ? The?e memoirs are
dedicated to the youth of Italy ; they have for
principles the destruction of monarchical and ,im-
perial institutions, of Catholicism, and of what they
call the putrid remains of the middle ages.' How
can this tolerance of Government be explained 1
We will not endeavour to do so."

In Switzerland public opinion continues to be
agitated by the question of passports and of the
creation of the new consulates. The semi-official
organ of the Federal Council, the Budd, insists, in
somewhat strong terms, on the necessity of refus-
ing the exequaticr to the consuls whom the French
Government proposes to appoint in towns near the
frontier of France.

DRURY LANE Tit EATRE.

- Harrison's
The second of the series of the Pyne and TT ;
concerts took place last evening, when, owing to the
continued absence of Mies Louisa Pyne, we had the
pleasure of hearing Mdlle. Finoli, whose really beautiful
and melodious ccntralto voice and finished style has
made a deep impression on the audience, by whom she
was rapturously and most deservedly applauded. Her aria,
"Pensa alla Patria," from Rossini's "Italiana in Algieri,"
was a most finished performance, and was honoured
by loud marks of approbation, and an unanimous call
for a repetition, as was also the beautiful romance,
"Ange ador6," by Benedict, which Madlle. Finoli sang
with infinite taste and judgment. Of Rossini's duo,
"Dunque io sou," from the "Barbiere di Siviglia," we
can but say, it was as fresh, as melodious, and as
piquant as ever, proving the Signora to be a most
finished artiste, which, added to her more than usual share
of personal attractions, is making, or rather has made,
her a very decided favourite with the musical public.
We sincerely hope we shall have frequent opieortunities
of hearing this young lady, 'whose proper position is
most certainly the Italian stage, to which she would be
a very great acquisition. Mr. W. Harrison sang "All
is lost," from "La Somnatnbula,” and a very pretty
ballad, " I will not weep for thee, love," charmingly,
and was much applauded. The operatic selection, from
Donizetti's "Favorite," were excellent, and the sol
highly effective. A duet on the harp and pianoforte, by
Miss Prescott and Mr. Trust, deserves to be mentioned
in terms of praise, as also does a pretty song by Miss
Thirlwall, "On wings of music flying." All went off
well, to the entire satisfaction of a very excellent house.

AQUATICS.

A very exciting sculler's race came off on Monday last
from Battersea-bridge to Putney-bridge, between H.
Burton, of the Prince Albert Rowing Club, and J.
Dyer, of the Temple Unity Club, for 51. a side. On the
men taking their places, we perceived Dyer had won
the choice of stations, having taken the Surrey shore.
A referee having been appointed, a capital start was
effected, Dyer taking the lea), which he maintained
till opposite the Old Swan, when Burton gradually stole
upon him, and at Price's Candle Works drew himself
clear. It was then very evident that the race was all
his own ; and Dyer, after vainly endeavouring to re-
cover his lost distance, gave in at the Feathers, leaving
Burton to row in an easy winner. The match was rowed
in Mr. Ralph's old-fashioned wager-boats.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat on
sale here to-day was very limited, the demand for all kinds
ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations.
Thera was a large quantity of foreign wheat on show.
Even the finest parcels met a dull inquiry, and prices Were
with difficulty supported.
Barley was in short supply and good request, at very
full prices, but malt moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
Oats changed hands freely, and good sound corn was 6d
per quarter dearer.
Both beans and peas sold readily, at extreme rates.
The flour trade was heavy, and the top price of tbe. best
town-made qualities was 40s per 2801bs.

MR. GEORGE CASE'S CONCERT.

Mr. Case's annual concert took place at Exeter
Hall on Monday evening before a large audience.
't he list was, as usual, long, and included some
excellent performers. The instrumental depart-
ment comprised Mr. Pratten, on his perfected
flute ; Mona Reymein, en the violin ; Madlle.
Coulon, on the pianoforte ; Mr. George Case, on
the concertina; and Signor Picco, on his pipe.
They all acquitted themselves creditably, and Signor
Picco on receiving an encore accompanied himself
on the piano with one Land, which feat elicited
much applause. Madame Weiss, Madame Ruders-
dorff, and Miss Louisa Tinning were the most suc-
cessful of the lady vocalists, and were well received.
Mr. Sims Reeves excitel the greatest enthusiasm
among the audience by hls rendering of the fine old
song of " The Death of Nelson." An encore was
insisted on, aid the singer substituted " My Pretty
Jane." Two other songs, the first a ballad
of no great merit, the second, Frank Mori's
graceful ballad of " Who shall be fairest," sung by
Mr. Sims Reeves, were both redemanded with ex-
citement. The overtures to " Egmont" and
" Oberon," played at the commencement of the
parts were attentively listened to. The audience,
though more numerous than select, appeared
highly gratified with their evening's entertainment.
A Grand National Concert is announced for next
Monday, to consist entirely of the works of British
composers, executed by native performers. Mr.
and Madame Weiss, Miss Dolby, and Mr. Sims
Reeves are to be among the artistes. PurcelPs
duet and chorus " Britons strike Home," the
music from " Macbeth" and many other standard
works are promised. \ trust this undertaking
will receive the public A. Iflort it merits.

A SANCTIFIED SIIASEIEB.—WiIItain Wright, a sancti-
fied-looking fellow, abOut 27 years of age, with a seedy
suit of black, who has bee. In custody since the 14th
inst., was brought upon on remand, charged with pass-
ing a base crown piece on the 14th of January last, at
the Wesleyan Chapel, Grove road, Mile-end-road, a
base half-crown at the Wesleyan Chapel, Back-road,
St. George-in-the-East, on Sunday, the 24th of January,
and a base half-crown at the Seamen& Wesleyan Chapel,
in the Commercial-road East.
Mr. Bellamy, from the Treasury Solicitor's-office,
prosecuted on the part of the Crovin. It appeared the
prisoner had been in the practice of attending Wesleyan
chapels, when missionary meetings took place, or cha-
rity sermons were preached, and on a collection being
made for either, obtained change for a dollar, or a half-
crown, and put a shilling in the plate. In this manner
he obtained four good shillings for a counterfeit dollar
at the chapel in the Globd-road, and a good shilling and
a sixpence for a base half-crown at the chapel in the
Thick-road. On Sunday, the 14th inst., he tried the
sante dodge at the Seamens' Wesleyan chapel, Commer-
cial-road East, where he offered a base half-crown to
Mr. Bui;ard, a master mariner, who was handing a
plate round for a subscription. The imposition was die,
covered, and the prisoner was given into custody. The
other cases were now pref rred against him.
Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial on !he.
three charges of knowingly uttering three counterfeit
pieces.

THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.

The following is Mr. Thomas Thorburn's quar-
terly report :

The prospects of a rapid decline in the value of money
combined with the sound and safe position of the iron
trade, stimulated in January speculative enquiries, and
extensive purchases were made of rnix,Kl Nos. at from
537. 6d. to 565. cash, and Os. 6d. to 53). three months
open. Thereafter the price continuing to rise till it
touched 60s. on the 31 current, has fluctuated between
595. and 555. 6d. for muld Nos., and 631. and 60i. for
No. 1 Gartsherrie. The average price in January was
545. 7d., February 564. 31., Mar:th 575. 3d., against
735. 61, 735. 93. and 755. sd. in ;These months re5pee-
.4...A.,.. s.orm...

Though the shipments* are greater, and the produc-
tion is considerably less when compared with the same
period last year, the stocks in the aggregate have slightly
increased, and are now 187,000 tons—of which 92,000
tons are in Warehouse-keepers' stores. The addition to
the stock of only 27,000 tons daring the quarter is not
so great as was expected, and is chiefly owing to the
falling off in the local consumption, which has been
affected by that stagnation so severely felt in several
branches of business. It is, however, reviving concur-
rently with other departments of trade, and promises to
be brisk, contracts to some extent having already been
entered into for railways, water, and gas pipes. For all
kinds of iron, a foreign as well as a home demand is
evidently increasing.
Looking at the improved aspect of the world,
politically and commercially, with masses of capital
seeking employment, the stocks of iron generally
low, and the prices 208. per ton under those of the
corresponding period of last year, and entering as we
are upon the busiest Feason for shipments, I cannot but
regard the prospects of the trade as very encouraging.
The Market is firm at the following quotations :
Bars, 71. 10s. to 8/. ss. ; rail, 71. to 71. 54. ; railway
chairs, 41. 74. to 4/. 10s. ; cast iron pipes, 4/. 17s. 6 i. to

SURREY- TIIRATRE.

The entertainments provided for the present week by the
enterprising managers of this theatre are comprised under
two genera--" Musical Reminiscences," and " Sketches
from Nature." The first of these consists of a miscella-
neous selection of songs from the poets and musicians of
England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a selection more
citracteristic of the musical and national spirit of the
three countries could not be made. These were inter-
preted with great felicity and power by Mrs. E. F. Gros-
venor and Mr. H. Phillips, each of whom displayed great
facility of expressing the songs of each country in the
orthodox intonation. In " There's nae Luck about the
House," Mrs. Groorenor was thoroughly Scotch, and
intensely Irish in " Savourneen Dheelieh." Both of
which, as well as other songs, were rendered with patho?,
taste, and feeling, and much applauded. Mr. Phillips,
in " The Groves of Blarney," was thoroughly at home
in the brogue, and elicited uproarious manifestations a
mirth and approbation—Power, In his happiest moments
never sang it more effectively. The late Dr. Meginn
added_some verses to this song, and as they do not ap-
pear to be generally known we sabjoin them, in the hope
of hearing them delivered some time by such an accom-
plished and popular vocalist as Mr. Phillips :
" 0 there is a stone there that whoever kisses,
He never misses to grow eloquent.
'Tis ho may clamber to a lady's chamber
Or become a member of Parliament.
A clever spouter he'll soon turn out, or
An out-and-outer to be let alone.
Don't hope to binder him or to bewilder bim.
Sure he's a pilgrim from the Blarneystone."
The songs were introduced with appropiate rematke,
and anecdotes by Mr. Phillips, who also presided at the
piano.
