PRINCESS'S THEATRE'.

Shakespere's tragedy of " King Lear" was per-
formed here last evening for the purpose of enabling
Mr. Phelps to make his first appearance this season.
Mr. Phelps's conception of the fine and difficult
part of Lear is a thoroughly sound and intelligent
one ; and if his execution of it does not reach the
highest point of imaginative delineation, that is
almost the only fault that can be found with it.
The irritability, the yearning for affection, and
also in the higher development of the love, inter-
mittent as it is, for the truthful Cordelia, are de-
picted with great feelieg and a thorough apprecia-
tion of the poetical beauties of the character. The
two curses of the daughters, the growing madness,
the odd combination of worldly shrewdness with
the maniacal weaknesses, the mixture of dignity
and folly, are all presented with the utmost care.
Mr. Ryder is well suited to the rough and warm-
hearted Kent, and Miss Heath is a satisfactory
Cordelia, and contrasted efficiently with the Regan
and Gonereil of Mesdames Murray and Atkinson.
Mr. Phelps, jun., is an actor of promise, but has
neither force nor dramatic power enough for the
extremely difficult part of Edgar. Mr. Phelps was
called for at the end of the second and fourth acts,
and at the close of the tragedy.

GREAT HEAT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Yesterday was hotter than any day during
the year 1860, as the following brief record will
show :

Degrees.
Mean temperature in shade 65.2
Greatest heat in shade 79.8

In 1860 the mean temperature of the two warmest
days was 63.4 deg. on the 22d of May and 63.5 deg.
on the 15th of July. The greatest heat occurred on
the same day last year—viz., the 21st of May, and
the temperature reached was the same in both years
—viz., 79.8 deg. In former years a much higher
temperature has been reached, the greatest heat in
shade being for May, 1846, 81.4 deg. ; 1847, 84.5
deg. ; 1848, 83.0 deg. ; 1853, 82.0 deg. ; 1855, 81.9
deg. ; and 1858, 84.0 deg. In contrast to this, the
greatest heat in May, 1842 and 1843, only reached
67.0 deg., and in 1845 only 69.0 deg.
During the past 50 years the coldest May was in
1856, when the mean temperature was only 48.5
deg., the hottest May being 1848, when the mean
temperature reached 60.0 deg.—l have the honour
to be, sir, your obedient servant,

RAIMARKE7 THEATRE.

Notwithstanding that the last new three-act
comedy of " Black Sheep" is in the height of a most
successful "run," the previous arrangements of Mr.
Buckstone compels its withdrawal at the end of the
week for a short time. Amongst the many high class
pieces that have been produced at this theatre during
the present year none seem so thoroughly to suit the
taste of the audience as " Black Sheep." It is written
in a neat, close, and telling style, and the whole of
the parts are represented in the most perfect manner.
Mrs. Charles Young's Ethel Maynard is in all
respects a most chaste performance, and one that
goes immediately to the heart. All the phases
of the poor struggling governess were depicted
in a manner totally devoid of artificiality, and
when, in the pride of riches, Ethel is enabled to
show her pure self, Mrs. Young's acting rose to
absolute perfection. Buckstone's Mr. Bunny is
one of those original efforts peculiar to the
talented lessee, and Compton's Tom Shorter is
another sketch wonderfully true to nature. The
audiences, throughout the week, have been very
great.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and nilcake may be cot rely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of t his compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
,t the cost of Id.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing nd. 14 barrels weluli net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 irs. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than

in its truth and purity inexhaustible by the after genera-
tions of men."

The following is his estimate of the value of the

Scriptures :

" There is no such treasury of instruments, and materials
as Scripture. The loss of Homer, or the loss of Shaks-
peare would have affected the whole series of Greek or
English authors who follow. But the disappearance of the
Bible from the books which the world contains, would pro-
duce results far greater. We can scarcely conceive the
degree in which it would alter literature and language—
the ideas of the educated and philosophical, as well as the
feelings and habits of mind of the poor. It has been said,
with an allowed hyperbole, that Homer is Greece; with
much more truth may it be said that the Bible is Cbxisten-
dom."

Once more, he says—
" Every part of Scripture tends to raise use above our-
selves—to give us a deeper sense of the feebleness of man,
and of the wisdom and power of God. It has a sort of
kindred, as Plato would say, with religious truth every-
where in the world. It agrees also with the imperfect
stages of knowledge and faith in human nature, and answers
to its inarticulate cries. The universal truth easily breaks
through the accidents of time and place in which it is in-
volved. Although we cannot apply Jewish institutions to
the Christian world, or venture in reliance on some text to
resist the tide of civilisation on which we are borne, yet it
remains nevertheless to us, as well as to the Jews and first
Christians, that Righteousness exalteth a nation," and
that Love is the fulfilling not of Jewish law only, but of
all law.' "

THE BUILDING TRADE.—The firma in this trade
in which the dispute respecting the mode of payment,
whether by the hour or by the day, is now existing, have
rejected the compromise offered by the masons and brick-
layers, viz., to work 10 hours per day for the first five days
of the week at 6s. per day, and 3s. on Saturday, leaving
work at 12 o'clock. The dispute therefore still remains open.
To ascertain what course the men are willing to take now
that their offer has been rejected, the central committee
have called a public meeting of the men in all the branches
of the building trade for Tuesday next at the Surrey Theatre.
ACCIDENT TO TOM SAYERS.—This champion of
the ring visited Galashiels on Saturday with Howes and
Cushing's Circus. While proceeding on horseback to the
place of exhibition in the evening, the horse shied at the
flapping of the canvas of the circus, and he was thrown to
the ground and pretty severely injured. Medical aid was
promptly given, and when he had recovered from his faint,
he stated that he felt weaker and more out of order than he
did after his encounter with Heenan. No bones were, we
understand, broken, nevertheless the pugilist sustained
several severe bruises, and ou Sunday he Was confuted to
hip bed,

COLO.
TEA..--At public sale AssamNlAL qualities were in demand at
full rates, but other descriptions barely sustained former
prices.

SuGAlit.—For good grocery descriptions there has been
a fair inquiry on the part of the trade ; other qualities,
however, were rather cheaper. In the refined market fully
late rates have been supported.
COFFEE.--The demand for good and fine qualities of
plantation Ceylon has been active, and prices have been
well sustained ; other qualities, however, have slightly
given way in prices.
RICE.—The market has been dull, and holders having
pressed sales prices have slightly given way.
SALTPETRE —Only limited dealings have been reported,
and prices have shown no change of importance.
TALLOW.—A steady business has been done, chiefly for
home consumption. P.Y.C., on the spot, 58s, and lest
three months 54s 6d to 55s per cwt.

PROCLAMATION REGARDING THE AMERICAN
IV-Alt.—On Wednesday the proclamation issued by her
Majesty warning British subjects against any complicity
in
the civil war in America, was declared at the Cross of Edin-
burgh. The heralds were accompanied by an escort of the
26th Regiment, and the reading of the proclamation, which
occupied nearly half an hour, was witnessed by a large as-
semblage of people.
THE LATE ELOPEMENT.—A correspondent of the
Hereford Journal writes :—" I think you have been a little
mis-informed in your account of an elopment in the West
of England. The gay Lothario is not the son of a noble
earl connected with Yorkshire, but of the lord lieutenant of a
county not very far from where the affair took plaeo. Nor
was there any `elopement;' but in consequence of certain
discoveries, the injured husband refused to receive the lady
into his house, and the gallant admirer has been under the
disagreeable necessity of escorting her to her friends in Ire
land."

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old." " Sunday Times,"
23d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27,1858.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de.
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack

THE CRIMINAL LAW AND THE FINANCES OF
INDIA.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition
from the European residents in India, praying that in cases
of criminal prosecution they should be tried by none other
than an English judge and by an English jury, and that
proceedings should be in the English language. He
thought that in point of justice the first part of the prayer
should certainly be granted, since in consequence of
the mutiny it might be supposed that a feeling
of animosity might linger in the minds of a
native. judge. With regard to the second portion of the
petition it would not be always possible, he knew, to ob-
tain an English jury. As far as the last part of the peti-
tion was concerned he thought that no objection to it
could possibly be raised. He also presented a petition from
the Central Committee of the Anglo-Indian Protection
Association, to the effect that charges properly belonging
to the Home Government should not be fixed upon the
resources of India.
