THE - T HEAT RES.

DRITRY-LANE.

Morton's Comedy, ".A. Cure for the Heart• Ache
(compressed into three acts), was revived here last night,
when Mr. and Mrs. Keeley reappeared as members of
the Drury-lane company. The part of Old Rapid, which
requires an actor of the Munden and Dowt )n school, is
scarcely suited to Mr. Keeley's peculiar style ; but, of
course, he made it excessively funny by his quaint stolid
humour, and offered about as strong a contrast to the
restless effervescence of Mr. Charles Mathews' Young
Rapid as it is:possible to imagine. Mrs. Keeley's persona-
tion of the young rustic, Frank Oatland, was an inimit-
able performance—an admirable embodiment of simple
honesty and truthfulness, and her finished acting made
the part one of the most prominent in the piece. The
cast was in other respects most efficient, including Mr.
Tilbury as Vortex, and Mrs. Frank Mathews as Miss
Vortex ; and the comedy evidently afforded the highest
gratification to a very crowded audience.

LATEST NE WS.

Accounts from Constantinople, to the 231:1 ult.,
state that Isaah Khan, who defended Herat, bad
been killed.

They also bring a contradiction of the rumour
that Ferrah, a town between Herat and Candahar,
bad been taken.

The Russians had exempted from taxes several
tribbs who were to furnish to the Shah 30,000
men, infantry and cavalry.

It is added that arrangements are being made
to convey this force from Daghestan on board the
Russian fleet on the Caspian Sea, as auxiliaries to

Persia.

Mehemet Bey, who served in the war of insur-
rection in Hungary, has set out for Circassia,
where he has been invited to act as Generalis-

siam.

Great agitation prevails in the Caucasus, and
preparations are in progress against a Russian in-
vasion, which is said to be imminent.

A telegraphic despatch received in Vienna yes-
terday, announces the death, at Jassy, of Theo-
dore Balsch, Kaimakan of Moldavia, which took
place on Sunday, the Ist instant, at one o'clock
p.m.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition), in his letter, dated yesterday,
says:--

"The bases of a treaty between Persia and Eng-
land are not yet signed. Hostilities are suspended,
but there is no regular armistice agreed upon. No
representations have been or will be made at
Teheran by friendly Powers until the bases of the
treaty are signed."

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna announces
that, on the 22d February, the Moldavian troops
occupied and garrisoned the towns of Bolgrad,
Ismail, and Reni, surrendered by the Russians in
pursuance of the Treaty of Paris. The same des-
patch mentions that the Russians were expected
to take possession of Komrat, and the new territory
on the Upper Yalpuk, some time between the 25th
of February and the Ist of March, at which period
the boundary would be defined.

;,A. French letter from Constantinople, of the 20th
ult., contains the following passages :
"I complete the information I have already given
as to the movements of the English vessels in the
Bosphorus. The steam frigate Desperate leaves for
England, the Magician for the Pacific, and the
Sphinx for Galatz to convey the English Consul to
Odessa.

" The Trebizonde boat, arrived on Tuesday last,
brings news from Teheran to the 14th of January.
Private letters announce that Ali-Kruli-Mirza
Khan, commanding-in-chief the first corps operat-
ing in the East, has taken possession of Can-
dahar, and that Sultan Murad Mirza has
entered Cabul. The plan of campaign is General
Buhler's. The Shah has conferred on him a
decoration only given to persons of the greatest
distinction. General Buhler is busily engaged in
erecting fortifications everywhere, and which rise
as if by enchantment. The movement of troops
and of convoys of ammunition is continual. Some
chiefs of Affghanistan and Cabul are said to have
offered their services to the Shah. Notwithstand-
ing the capture of Bender Bushire much confidence
prevails at Teheran, and the Persian Government
seems decided to carry on the war with vigour."

It would appear from a report presented to the
Russian Government by the Governor-General of
Russian Siberia, that since the attack on Canton by
the British Admiral the trade between Russia and
China by land, and by Kiakhta, has considerably
increased. The commercial relations bet wcen
Russia and China, it adds, will become every day
more intimate as long as the war continues.
