size,

THE MOST PERFECT THEATRE IN LONDON;

and, although it must be admitted the original intention was the

REPRESENTATION OF ENGLISH OPERA,
yet, from its pecullEir situation, it would seem to be more particu-
larly considered as

THE COURT THEATRE,

and intended to introduce
THE HIGH-CLASS FRENCH DRAMA,
both Tragic and Comic, and the Opera Buffa ; and when the many
triumphs that have been achieved, by skilful catering fbr the public
taste, are remembered, it may reasonably be expected that, under
popular management, similar profitable results may again be ac 3orn-
Wished. The Theatre is elegantly and completely fitted up, and may
be readily converted either for English or French performances. It
has a c :pit al stock of Scenery, all necessary Machinery, with Ward-

ALEXANDRE; DUMAS ON THE H.USTIN G 8
AT SOUTIITVARIC.

M. Dumas is writing in the:Paris Pre,sse an account
of our Englir,h elections—rather arnuFiug, from the style
of p-lmpops penny-a-liningin which he describes every--
thing. He was astonished at the silence and order of
the crowd before Guildhall. "That is on account of
their pew law of bribery," says he, "for it is not even
any longer silo wed- to make the electors drunk." They
now must be worked upon exclusively by el)quence,
which, ho says, is not a much less laborious proce,. As
the City election did not provide bim with enough of
extraordipary incident, he went afterwards to the South-
wark hustings, where he Faw the several candidates,
whom he describes as he would the' characters of a
novel
• Already from a distance we heard something like the
roiling of thunder, which became the more majestic the
more we advanced:
Indeed, through the windows of our carriage we saw
the street filled with some three or four thousand per-
sons.

These persons it was, these artisans, these gentian*
as they were called by the candidates, who produced
the not-e, shouting with all the power of their lungs.
We were obliged to stop at some distance from the
hustings, a large construction of timber. We therefore
stopped and alighted, and, our hands in our pockets—
as some figures among this honourable society inspired
us with but little confidence—we penetrated at last to
the - - -
Arrived up stairs, Mr. Corner passed his card to Dr.
Chadic's.

Dr, Challice, member of the committee of Mr. Locke,
came to us, and very courteously took me by the hand,
and loudly calling out my name, he led me to the re-
served part, where he presented me to the three candi-
dates, who, in the midst of their occupations, still found
time to shake hands with me, and to pay me their com-
pliments.
The Admiral Napier added that he paid me his corn=
pliments with all the more pleasure as I had been his
companion on some of his expeditions.
Which was all the more kind on his part, as I had no
vote to Rive to him.

Mr. PeHal is a man of from 45 to 50, meagre, small
nervous head, beard and eyes—everything dark. He was
seated, and took breath.

The Admiral Napier is an old man, of from 65 to 70,
fat, short, of robust build, with grey hair and black eyes,
and hairs all over the face ; Scotch head and Scotch
dialect.

Mr, Locke is a man of 48, the face covered with pock-
holes, vigorous, broad chest, made for the struggles of
the bar, and ready for the much more exhausting
struggles of the tribune, for, to all probability, Mr.
Locke will be elected.

Mr: Locke is the advocate of the City.
We had but just arrived, when the audience was
judged sufficiently large, and Mr. Pellatt was called
upon to show himself,

He advanced towards the railing of the hustings.
I would feel sorry at rendering myself disagreeable to
a gent!ernan who so cordially and an. warmly shook hands
with me, but I-owe it to truth to say that his apparition
vora9 greeted by groans, which were far from flattering.
The crowd seemed to owe a grudge to Mr. Pellatt for
having voted against the Chinese war, and reminded
him of the affairs of the British Dank, which must not
be confounded with the Bank of England.
He intended to speak, but the thunder of Heaven
would have struggled in vain against the human thunder
from belqw.

Among the cries that were hurled against him T. could
distinguish this—" You'll be smashed tie* Wednesday,
old feillw I

Indeed, next Wednesday, the affair of the bank of
Mr. Pellatt wi I come before the Court of Bankruptcy.
Not le,=s than ten times Mr. Pellatt attempted to
speak♦ Each time the Pound of his voice was rendered
inaudible by the cries of the gentlemen in the street.
Mr. Pellatt, unable to speak, and having exhausted
three quartsrs of his power, made use of the remaining
quarter, and turning his back on the ungrateful public,
he addressed himself to the shorthand writers, to whom
he explained the reasons of the vote which rendered him
unpopular, and his moral pcsitiou in relation to the
Briti.h Bank.

He spoke nearly a quarter of an hour, during which
time the grans from outside were never interrupted.
When his speech to the shorthand writers was finished
Admiral Napier advanced.
His reception was just as favourable as that of Mr.
Pellatt had been hostile.
Hurrahs went bed); the hats were thrown into the
air, the arms described_ circler, which in England
sigtrofth,i greatest sympathy.
Though in plain clothes, the Admiral was covered
with decors Cons.

After some seconds bad been spent in =lunation!),
silence was restored, and the Admiral began a speech,
which lasted nearly half an hour.
He began by raising a complaint against his printer.
This is what he had to complain of :
The Admiral had ordered of his printer 12,000 to
15,000 cards, and the printer had undertaken for the
price of 201, not merely to print, but also to distribute
them to the houses. Unfortunately for the worthy
Admiral, his printer was, at the same time, that of Mr.
Pellatt.

He distributed the cards of both together, so that it
appeared as if the two enemies had formed a coalition.
Mr. Pe,llatt, who was in danger of being drowned, did,
in fact, lay hold of the Admiral.
The result might haie been that Mr. PeHatt—with-
out being saved by the Admiral saving him—might have
drawn the Admiral after him, and drowned him too.
Happily the worthy Admiral had, in turn, became
aware of the trick. He went in haste to the printer,
took away.those of his cards which had not yet been
sent away, ordered others, and then provided for a se-
parate distribution.
The only drawback was, that the rectification had cost
him 40&, which, together with the 201. first paid down,
funned a typographical expense of 601.
This part of his speech was listened to with expres-
sions of hiar;ty, which proved that merry England is
sail la joyeuse Angleterre.

The rest of his speech was devoted to his behaviour
in Parliament.

The whole was received with hurrahs of approbation.
There is no doubt that the Admiral will be elected.
Now came Mr. Locke's turn. He advanced to the
railings. But though there were, perhaps, a thousand
of his adherents among the crowd, as shown by the
cards stuck on their hats, with the words "For Locke,"
the noire was even much greater than that which Mr,
Pellatt's appearance produced.
The reason wag, that in Mr. Pellatt's case there Was
unanimity, while in that of Mr. Locke there was a
struggle of contending factions.
_ _

Mr. Pellatt hecanie radiant with satisfaction, and
rubbed his hands.

He tou?,hed mo with his elbow--" Lit bien ? " said he
to me. "Fit bien ?" said Tto him. He made his friends

groin at me—he said--I will make mine whistle at

Bit Mr. Locke's chest was of different make from that
of Mr. Pe!latt.

Refusing to speak to the short-hand writers, he con-
tinued speaking to the crowd. Instead of a thunder
coining from below, it was a thunder coming from above.
Like A ndromache, when she encouraged Hector down
from the walls of Troy, Mrs. Locke encouraged her hus-
band down from a balcony.
From what I could understand of Mr. Locke's very
advanced speech—more advanced even in a religion,
than in a political sense—he indicated to the gentlemen
who listened to him what would be his conduct in Par-
liament.

Ile clock struck threß. I must send you my first
letter immediately. I have no titne to lest). I ran down

to the Thames ; I took a steamer, which, together wit!.
30 or 40 others, plies on the river, and at hall-past three
I was at my hotel.

THE LATE GALES.—During the late gales a large
number_ of ve•isels have sought the shelter of the new
harbour at Holyhead, all of which ran in in perfect
safety. Fragments of some wreck have since wait
ashore at various points. A narrow escape occurred
crew
during the height of the gale at Rhyl, when a large
Ame-
rican vessel got nearly aground on the flats. So
The
arduous
close was
she that many deemed she was actuallysndlasatiter
cut away the main and wizen masts,
exertions, they succeeded in working her out with what
sails she could bear on the foremast, all of which were it,
ribands. It was an exciting spectacle, the gale being tre-
mendous, and the vessel in the most imminent peril, so
that her escape was indeed providential.
