vors of the old army who were present at those
battles.

A Russian journal, the Ak'ille dtc NorJ, seems
to look at Indian affairs in a new point of view. It
observes that it was from Central Asia to the noith
of British India—from the midst of its immense
populations that in ancient times came all the people
who invaded Europe ; thak the warlike spirit of
those nations is not extinguished, and the creation
of powerful states has alone restrained them in
modern times. Now these people are acquainted
with the riches of the English possessions in
India, and it is to be feared that, as soon as
the news of the insurrection shall have reached
them, they will put themselves in movement, and
thus create fresh difficulties for the possessors of
the country. According to the Abeille, Persia, in
spite of her desire to remain faithful to the English
alliance, cannot restrain those armed multitudes ;
beside,, adds this journal, the Government of the
Shah of Persia will not hear of the march of those
nations on India until they will be already in
movement.—lt is unnecessary to say that nothing
whatever exists to justify these previsions.

The Augsburg Gu::ette learns from Batavia that a
revolutionary spirit begins to manifest itself in the
Dutch possessions in the East Indies. An expedi-
sion is about to be feut by the Dutch Government
against the Radsehas of Lidak and Takaip, who
reside in the island of Tumor (ono of the Moluccas).
Tha correspondent observes that the insurrectionary
spirit seems to prevail in Eastern Asia fi om the
50th degree north latitude, to the 20th degree
south latitude. It is necessary to state that the
Germ'ln corespondents take an extremely unfav-
ourable view of the sate of affairs in India, and
they rarely fail to state that the whole truth does
not find its way into the papers published in India.

A 'utter from Vienna of the 10th, in the Cologn'
Gccette, stales that the ambassador of Fianc•3,
Baron de Bourquew,y, had a conf(rence the pre-
ceding day with Count de Buol, and announced to
him officially that an interviciw would take place
at Stuttgardt in the second fortnight of this month
between the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor
of Russia.

The Bey of Tunis, ou the 10th inst., paid a com-
plimentary visit to the French squar.fron, which
was on the point of taking its departure.

SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Yester
day evening an itqucst was held at the Elephant and
Cast!e, St. Pancras-road before Mr. Brent, on the body-
of Mr. William Miller aged 40, late chief cl-nk at tLf
Camden-town ,tation of the London and Great Northern
Railway. It appeared from the evidenci of several wit
nesees that, between one and two o'clock on Friday
last, tle deceased left the Camden-town station in a

THE DRAMA.

ADELPHI.

That well known nautical drama, the "Pilot," was
revived last night with great splendour of scenery, de.
coratiens, and appointments ; and although the present
generation has so thoroughly lost the recollection of the
American war that the ridicule of the Yankee arelY
seems now to be somewhat of an impertinence, the
piece proved to have intrinsic merits enough in its vfeY
to render its restoration to the boards of the Adelphi
highly popular step. Mr. T. P. Cooke appeared ones
more in his original character, that darling of all the
seafaring gods, Long Tom Coffin ; and he danced with
scarcely impaired vigour his once famous horn-pipe, ao
sang with unimpaired spirit, if with a somewhat weak-
ened voice, that well known bit of maritime philosophy
about the " tiles and chimbly pots." One other song
incident to the part he also sang, which, in our opinfoh
it would have been better to omit, namely, that wherein
Long Tom hints at a number of scarcely decent equiv°'
quo a propos of his courtship. The heroine of the even.
ing was Miss Mary Keeley, who looked charming
enough as Kate Plowden, and displayed just that mil"
tore of feeling and sauciness which is considered the
proper attribute of "the lass who loves a sailor." Irer
song was enc,red, and her duet with Miss Arden S'
the end of the first act was also loudly applauded. A.Y.
Wright was hardly at home in the Yankee Captain'
but he contrived to extract from the part a great deal of
fun, which appeared to be very acceptable to the aaltiv
ence. Mr. Selby looked and acted the character of the
mysterious pilot with great effect; and when Mr. Cooke
on being called before the curtain announced the piece
for repetition till further notice, the intimation wag re.
ceived with unequivocal marks of approbation.

SURREY.
The dramatic season proper commenced yesterday a,.
the Surrey with "The Bird in the Hand," a play witgie"
had had a great success in the previous season. l‘tr•
Shepherd on this occasion sustained his original att.
ranter with improved effect; but Mr. Creswick's 'pia°
was filled by Mr. Basil Potter, who showed himself
promising pupil in that particular school of acting. Ttt
entirely new faces, Mr. and Miss Eburne, also reau'
their appearance in the parts of the disinherited prodigy
and his wife, and received so favouracle a reception
as to lead to the belief that they will before long becoree
estaulished favourites with the Surrey audience. NMi°l/
Chalmers, an importation from Dublin, played the prith'
cipal female part in the play, and had a satisfactorY
reception. The novelty of the evening was a burlesqa°,
on the " Traviata," written in the broadest style 0'
transpontine exaggeration, and transferring the scene to
Piccadilly and Cremorne. When we Pay that the coy'
sumptive heroine was personated by Mr. Widdicotabt
the reader will most probab!y guess the rest—treinery
dons Crinoline, excruciating paroxysms of coughil
varied by an occasional sneeze—a new reading, al
introduced with great effect—and the well known dank
ing song, given in a style which Piccolomini might la
vain attempt to equal. There was a good deal of laugh'
ing at parts of the burlesque, but whether it was that
the audience were not familiar with the original, or OA,
their sensibilities were wounded by seeing it thus turns,°
into ridicule, the piece hung fire on the whole, and ,a
not likely to have a very long run. The Christy 1‘11";
strels performed twice during the evening, and wore) a 9
usual, 19udly and deservedly app'auded.

I FALL OF A WALL AT CAMDEN TOWN.—Yesterdg
•a
morning considerable excitement prevailed in the Delgl
bourhood fa
Camden Town, in consequence of the 01
of a wall belonging to the Regent's Canal CornpanYl
well as to the goods sheds belonging to Messrs. Pickier
On Sunday night information was received of the crack,
ing of the walls, and Mr. Thomas, the Regent's Ca e:,
Company's ergineer, desired the towing-path should

o'clock yesterday morning away went the foundation ;
the wall, pushing the towing-path out, when the she„t

three persons narrowly escaped being killed. Worktne
walle
were yesterday busily engaged in shoring up the ~,
and the traffic of the canal for a few hours was s"
pended.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— The deserver
popularity obtained by this interesting collection 01-a
Europe, has been proved by the numerous distinguish%
personages of all countries honouring the eitablishrnebn6
with their presence ; and of late, notwithstanding tie,
unfavourable state of the weather, thousands of a°°3
ing visitors from the provinces have attended to vl ,31a
the wonders contained in the museum. It has he '

Times, "that in no other place in Europe are so 033 or
touching and important memorials of the great En3P,e,to

preserved." The indefatigable proprietors are, we for
