THE THEAT.RES.

LYC E MU.
" Othello.' was performed for the first time this season
at this theatre, last evening. Mr. C. Dillon represented
the Moor. His performance throughout was judicious,
and if in the terrible exhibition of conflicting passions
he did not rise to the level of some even among our
li sing Sbaksperian act, rs, in no way did he offend against
propriety in elocution and in gesticulation. Mrs. Dill .n
was earnest and careful in the character of Desdemona,
and Mrs. Weston as Emilia failed not to draw down
loud plaudits by her hearty delivery of the well-known
lines ending with "To lash such rascals naked round
the world."

Mr. S:uart ag lAgo and Mr. Barrett as Roderigo well
sustained their reputation.
"The spectacle of "Lull% Rookh" followed—it has
lost none of its- attractions. The point and epigram-
matic turn of the text is admirably set off by gorgeous
and truly magnificent scenery, and illustrated by acting
in which nerve abounds.

SURREY.
An original three act romantic play, entitled " R:ght
and Wrong ; or, Smiles and Tears," has been produced
at this theatre with perfect SUMS. The serious
kterest, which is very intense, rests on the old
subject of woman's confidingness and man's faith-
lessnees. Nelly Mayfield (Miss Margaret Eburne)
trusts more than woman should do to Edgar
Cresford, jun. (Hr. Shepherd), who, though by no means
a villain, forsakes her for Lady Eneline Douglass, for
the sake of his father, Mr. E 'gar 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 tlo happy, on
awakening, to give his consent to the ,marriage of his
son with her village ladylove. The pathetic scenes be-
tween Mary ar.d her father, Farmer Mayfield (Hr. Ores-
wick), deeply moved the audience. Both Mists Eburne
rnd Mr. Creswick, by their powerful but natural acting,
commanded the deepest attention, and.txcited a very
strong sympathy from the audience. The part of the
father, indignant and raging, then crazed and remorse-
ful, end finally tender and forgiving to his dying child,
formed a seirptenee of powerful iituations, 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 extr,m.. The play is admirably put on
the stage, and the scenery by Mr. Dalby and Mr.
Smytbies, is extremely clever and picturesque. The out-
door rural scenes were remarkably pictorial, and indeed
the whole getting up is very perfect and effective from
beginning to end.

Yesterday the marriage of the Earl of Euston, eldest
eon of the Duke and Duchess of Grafton, with Mies
Bsring, only daughter of the Hon. Flame 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, filed the post of governor for
three successive year. (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

sular mails, on Tuesday the Medway left with the Brazil

ALLEGED FLOGGING ON THE COAST or AFRICA.
We are authorised to give a most nnqual,fied 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 oomplained,
and have returned to their duty at the usual time.—

GALLANT RESCUE OF A SHIPWREOSED CREW.—
YOUGHAL, Feb. B.—This morning a Norwegian barque,
called the Galatea, from Swedietown, in standing in for
this port in mistake for Queenstown, were on shore on
thy; Ltd duri:q; a heavy Iron i.o 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 ttranded 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 anal
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 services.
