KENSALL GREEN.

A correspondent of a morning contemporary says :
"On Good Friday I went to pay a tribute of respect and
affection to one long departed. In approaching the tomb
I found a large assemblage of persons collected, whose
behaviour and language were l►tsle suited to the solem-
nity of the place. The ground strewed with oranges,
nuts, &c., laughter, and opinions of those who slept
quietly there jarred on the feelings of those who went to
weep, to pray. I ask you is this fit, is this seeming in
a Christian country ?
"The cemetery of Pere la Chaise is not looked on as a
tea-garden, unjust remarks on the dead are not heard,
decency is observed ; but with us, how different !"

THE SHIP BOANERGES.—The emigrant ship Boanergee,
Capt. Sedgwick, which took the ground on Friday
morning, on the eastern side of the outer basin of the
Great Western Docks, at Plymouth, when being piloted
into dock was floated off by the next tide on the same
day, having sustain2d little damage, and making no
water.
SALMON FISHING IN THE NORTH OF EUROPE.—A cor-
respondent of the Field says :—" I venture to send you
the result of twelve consecutive days' remarkable fishing
(omitting the Sunday) ; and as I saw every fish
killed and weighed, I can vouch for the following state-
ment :—Colonel A. Fraser and Captain J. Grant killed
in the 12 days 151 salmon with the fly, and, with the
exception of three or four, they were all clean fish. They
fished from the banks of the same river taking different
sides on alternate days, and so even did they fish, that
Colonel Fraser killed 7G, weighing 7501 he., and Captain
Grant, 75, weighing 746Ibs.—being 151 fish, of the
total weight of 1,4961b5. I also saw Captain Grant kill
17 salmon in one morning with the same fly, which was
tied by that skilful artist Eratt. I omit the name of the
river, as I have no wish to add to the number of those
already ruined in these northern regions by giving them

THE EASTEL, NO VELTIES.

Of late years managers have seemed to evince
little faith iu the attraAivenesi 'of Easter spectacles,
and this year the amount of novelty produc.d is
less than usual. Perhaps the greater facilities af-
forded for holiday-making amidst the sunshine by
excursion trains and steamboat ;r, and the counter-
acting influence of those places i of out-door enter-
tainment that open about this time, have had their
effect in checking the exertion 5 of the honourable
company of- spectacle-makers that were wont to
cause the wealth of theatrical tree A,uriesto be laviShed
upon the tinselled fairy pieces of Covent-garden and
Drury-lane in the days gone by.. Possibly, too, the
forestalling of the recognised E aster productions of
burlesque and extravaganza by some of the houses
at Christmas have lessened thci probability of the
olden outlay being pate at this season ; but,
however it may be, the fact is evident, and will
very few exceptions the perforn lances have little of
a novel character, and in savers a instances the bills
remain entirely unchanged.
The rival operas commence the season on Easter
Tuesday, HER MAJESTY'S and the LYCEUM both
entering upon their spring campaign, under the
respective banners of Messrs. Lumley and Gye,
with an array of forces that should secure the strong
position to which they mutually aspire. Of their
' strength and their prospects we have already
spoken, and it only remains to be added that the
former leads off with "La Favorite," and the ballet
of " Esmeralda," and that at tae latter the opening
opera will be " I Puritani," with Crrisi, and a new
diveitissement, entitled " Les Abeilles." ' The in-
terior has been fitted up in the usual expensive
style, and the exterior has also received some em-
bellishment. On each evening, to afford more con-
venience to the aristocratic supporters, the opera
w:11 commence at half-past eight.
DRURY-LANE opens with what is called an Easter
Carnival of six nights, in whiCh a junction of the
Lyceum burlesque of "-Conrad and Medora" with
the Drury pautoriaime forms the principal feature.
Mr. Charles Dillon appears as Othello, and is sup-
ported by the principal members of the company
that lately belonged to the Lyceum. To increase
the novelty of this experiment, a day performance
of the burlesque-ciim-pantomime will be
Easter Monday at two o'clock. given ca

The HAYMARKET really has an Easter' piece, in
the form of a classical love story, furnished by Mr.
Frank Talfourd, founded on a familiar mythological
legend, and produced under the appellai ion of ""Ata-
lanta, or the Three Golden Apples." The female
portion of the company has been strengthened bl
the accession of Miss M. Oliver, Miss Marie Wilton,
and Miss E. Ternan. The brilliancy of the dialogue,
and splendour of the scenery havebeen both reported
as likely to create a theatrical sensation, and the
repute of the writer will justify a sanguine expects'
tion, ou the part of the public, of a plentiful pro.
vision of those pleasant puns and piquant parodies
with which the author's extravaganzas are generalli,
studded. The long-required new arrangement 0'
prices to all parts of the house will be also an add
tional attraction to the iviatiors, and a decided
advantage to the reanager.
The PRINCESS'S relies upon the unabated attrac'
tion of " Richard the Second," with its mditall
pomp and pageantry, and exciting episode illustra"
tive of the return of Bolingbroke.

Tile ADELPHI celebrates the season by the return
of our public favourite, Madame Celeste, from the
provinces, and the re-production of the Terco
chorean and operatic spectacle of "The Elves ; ors
The Statue Bride. The farces of " Welooweit,
Little Stranger," and "A Night at Notting-hill,
precede and follow the extravaganza. ‘E Like an'
Unlike" is to be revived on Tuesday and succeed'
ing nights, with Madame Celesta in her crigin
character of Lisette ; supported by Mr. Billingtolh
from T. R. Birmingham, as Harty Mowbray; g4f,'
Wright, as Peter Potter ; and Arthur Leslie, PI
Mr. C. Selby.

The OLYaIFIC presents for acceptance the
that has been so often honoured by the audieo_,
and reserves the new extravaganza in rehearsal f°`
another occasion. "Daddy Hardacre," with Niti
Robson as the hero, will therefore still be the inos
important feature of the programme.
The STRAND, with a morning perforMance 01/
Easter Monday, provides for its evening visitor
the drama of "Ruth Oakley," and a new burlesc4
by Mr. Leicest:tr Buckingham on the subject
" William Tell."

SADLER'S WELLS commences its summer sea,i
under the management of Mr. G. Webster,
Miss Woolgar as the "star" for the first week, aw
Mr. Charles Dillon for the second.
The SURREY has a new drama of strong inter
called "The Iron Arm," in which Mr. Shepb
plays the hero, Malaventure ; Miss Mortimer, fro::
Birmingham the heroine ; and the bill is 614,4
made attractive by the return of Miss Poole to Ili{
stage, this popular vocalist re-appearing in thee
of Apollo in Kane O'Hara's old burle=que
"Midas." Madame Auriol and Mr. Flexmore
also engaged, and appear in " The Dumb Savor°
and his Monkey."
ASTLEY'S furnisllls a brilliant militarY spectoe)
which for some time past has been in preparalioa
