ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

THE BOUFFES PARISIENS.
The little St. James's looked most cheery last night,
filled with that aristocrat :c assemblage so familiar to it
in bygone years. Its echoes were again awakened by
French fun and a laughing audience. The Bouffes are
all nonsense, and are, therefore, charming. They don't
profess opera, but sing excellently. They don't affect
comedy, but act with infinite spirit. They deal largely
in all that seductive slang which sounds so pretty in
French, and which is so full of lighthearted gaiety.
Their good jokes are good, and their bad ones better.
Time flies merrily with them, and frolic rules the hour.
They played " M'sieu Landry "—the history of a vil-
lage dandy ; merry wives play practical jokes on him—
and fabulously elim-ankled milkmaids push him about,
and with him and at him talk the smartest patois, and
sing. rattling little ballads, and that's good fun.
They then played " Les deux Aveugles," which is a
comic scene between two blind men, who are not the
least blind. The rogues play horrible instruments on the
Pont Neuf, and solicit the charity of the passers-by.
Their rivalry produces a mighty discord, and thoroughly
discovers the amusing and desperate rascality of the two
sharpers. For the audience, it is a story of "Laughing
Made Easy."
Lastly was presented "Ba-ta Clan, a Chinoiserie—
scene, China and—actors, Chinamen, who turn out to be
jpiciers of the Rue Mouffetard, or bourgeois of Brives La
Gail'arde. They have their adventures, which, if true,
certainly prove fact to be stranger than fiction, and at
last escape home. Chineseis chattered, catching French
ditties are sung, and absurd jokes rain lightly, if piti-
lessly, through the piece. The whole thing is a success.
The actors are very good, especially Pradeau, who is by
turns oily,- dry, flippant, or frantic, as occasion requires;
and who possesses a face with which be can assume
expressions and make faces impossible to any but so
distinguished an artist. For the actresses, when were
French actresses not charming, with their well-dressed
coquetry and their endless artillery of graces ? Madlle.
Dalmont is a very clever musician, and both she and
Madlle. Marechal have sweet and flexible voices.
The Bouffes have at once won their way to favour,
and,rill, no doubt, attract to the St. James's all the
rptira of pleasant idleness who care to while away an
evening by lending their ears to be tickled with pretty
music, and their thoughts to be distracted by all that is
most thoughtless, capricious, and laughable.
The theatre wears a renovated and bright appearance,
and the artistic labours of Messrs. Cuthbert and Adams
have resulted in effects highly pleasing to the eye. We
were glad, too, to see in active attendance the old fami-
liar faces of Messrs. Chapman and Nimtno, those worthy
" pillars of the state" to Mr. Mitchell. And we have,
in conclusion, to offer our cordial congratulations to the
latter gentleman for providing the metropolis with a
month's really delightful amusement.

RUSSIA.

A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 12th says
that the birth of an Imperial Prince (already an-
nounced by telegraph) was made known to the in-
habitants of that city by the firing of 301 guns
from the ramparts of the fortress. The newly-
born Prince has of course received the title of
Grand Duke and Imperial Highness. As already
stated he is the fifth son and sixth child of the
Emperor and Empress ; the eldest son of their
Majesties is now nearly 14 years of age. General
Bethancourt, aide-de-camp of the Emperor, has
been charged to convey the news of the birth to
the Empress Dowager, and Colonel Samsonoff,
arother aide-de-camp, to the Court of Darmstadt.
In consequence of the birth, the Court has given
lup the six days' mourning which it had ordered
I for the Duchess of Saxony, and the Duchess
of Gloucester. The Emperor, on the occasion
of the residence of the Dowager Empress
at Nice, has granted decorations to several Sai di-
nian dignitaries—the grand cross of St. Alexander
Newski, in diamonds, to Count de Cavour, and the
same, without, diamonds, to General La tharmora ;
the order of St. Anne, of the first class, to Cheva-
lier Paleocapa, Minister of Public Works, and that
of the White Eagle to Count Nigra, minister of
the King's household. Count Esterhazy, minister
of Austria, Lavin; obtained leave of absence, had
had his final audience of the Emperor.
According to another letter from St. Petersburg,
in the Nord of Brussels, the Russian troops in the
Caucasus had advanced into the very heart of the
Tcbetchnia, and General Baron Nicolai had carried,
after a brilliant assault, the entrenchments thrown
up by the Circassians between the rivers Amala and
Yaryk, and known as the gales of Guetemir. The
mountaineers sent by Scbamyl to defend the posi-
tion bad, it is added, been put to flight.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

, YeSterday were published the petitions relative to t
Oxford Athlone (borough), Tewkesbury, Sligo (borough
Lanark, Totnes, and Bury elections. The Oxford pets -
tion emanates from seven electors, and alleges various
acts of bribery, treating, and undue influence against
Mr. Neste. The Athlone petition (from two electors,
charges the sitting candidate with similar acts, and
prays that the return may be amended by the substitu-
tion of the Hon. George Handeock. The Tewkesbury
petition (from two electors) charges Mr. Martin with in-
timidation, violence, and abduction of voters, in addi-
tion to ordinary mal-practices. The Sligo petition
(from two electors) alleges that the return of Mr. John •
Patrick Somers was procured by the grossest violence
and terror, the itoman Catholic priesthood of the
borough repairing to the houses of the voters,
accompanied by the mob, and compelling them
to- vote for the sittiog member. It also charges
Mr. Somers with not being duly qualified, and
with refusing to subs3ribe the declaration required
by the act. The Lanark petition (from one elector)
charges Sir T. B. Colebrooke, Bart., with bribery and
treating. The Totnes petition (from Mr. Mackenzie,
one of the candidates) charges the sitting members with
the whole category of iregal election practices ; and the
Bury petitions (from two electors) seeks to involve Mr.
R. N. Philips in a similar network of allegations. _
A l petitions; must be lodged by this day.
The ewcastle Express says :—" The petition presented
to Parliament against the return of Mr. Hudson for the
borough of Sunderland is on the ground that the hon.
member is not qualified actor ling to law. The friends
of Mr. Walters, the late candidate, deny all participation
in this movement on the part of that gentleman or his
agents. The friends of Mr Hudson are quite indignant
about the affair, and consider it altogether a cowardly
thing to strike a ;alien man, who has been one of the
greatest benefactors to this locality ; and several parties
have offered to raise a subscription to defray Mr. Hud-
son's expenses. It is said that the real cause of this
movement is owing to a gentleman in the neighbourhood
of Newcastle having in his possession a dishonoured bill
for 1,0001. ;' and therefore he is strongly desirous of
knowing Mr. Hudson's qualification, so that he may be
enabled to recover that sum. The liberal party is already
prepared with a candidate in the event of Mr. Hudson
osing his seat.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 17th says :—" The
result of the labours of the commission charged to
draw up a commercial code for all Germany is
shortly to be publisher], and will set forth the gene-
ral measures proposed to be adopted. When the
commercial code, properly so called, shall be com-
pleted, the maritime code will be taken in hand ;
but the commission will go from Nuremburg to
Hamburg to draw it up. The commission, too,
will be less numerous than at present, as the petty
states of the interior of Germany will not be repre-
sented at it."

Another letter from Berlin of the 17th, in the
Cologne Gazelle, says :—" On Wednesday last, an
English deputation arrived here with the view of
completing the arrangements making for the grand
assembly of Evangelical Christians which is to take
place here in September next. The deputation
was received by the King at Potsdam two days
back, and it presented to his Majesty an address
from the Evangelical Alliance of England. The
members of the deputation had the honour of
dining with the King in the evening.

ELE,;TION- PETITIONS.

Yesterday were published the petitions relative-to t
Ox ord Ati4mne (borough), Tewkesbury, Sligo (borough
Lanark, Totnes, and Bury elections. The Oxford peti
tiou emanates from seven electors, and alleges various
acts of bribery, treating, and undue influence against
Mr. Neate. The Athlone petition (from two electors,
charges the sitting candidate with similar acts, and
preys that the return may be amended by the substitu-
tion of the Hon. George Handcock. The Tewkesbury
pelition (from two electors) charges Mr. Martin with in-
timidation, violence, and abduction of voters, in addi-
tion to ordinary ma'.-practices. The Sligo petition
(from two electors) alleges that the return of Mr. John
Patrick Somers was procured by the grossest violence
and terror, the Roman Catholic priesthood of the
borough repairing to the houses of the voters,
accompanied by the mob, and compelling them
to vote for the sitting member. It also charges
Mr. Somers with not being duly qualified, and
with refusing to subscribe the declaration required
by the act. The Lanark petition (from one elector)
charges Sir T. E. Colebrooke, Bart., with bribery and
treating. The Totnes petition (from Mr. Mackenzie,
one of the candidates) charges the sitting members with
the whole category of it egal election practices; and the
Bury petitions (from two electors) seeks to involve Mr•
R. N. Paillips in a similar network of allegations.
All petitions must be lodged by this day.
The ewcastle Express says :—" The petition presented
to Parliament against the return of Mr. Hudson for the
borough of Sunderland is on the ground that the hon.
member is not qualified according to law. The friends
of Mr. Walters, the late candidate, deny all participation
in this movement on the part of that gentleman or his
agents. The friends of Mr. Hudson are quite indignant
about the affair, and consider it altogether a cawardll
thing to strike a fallen man, who has been one of the
greatest benefactors to this locality ; and several parties
have offered to rains a subscription to defray Mr. and'
son's expenses. It is said that the real cause of this
movement is owing to a gentleman in the neighbourhood
of Newcastle having in his possession a dishonoured bill
for 1,0001. ; and therefore he is strongly desirous of
knowing Hudson's qualification, so that he may be
enabled to recover that sum. The liberal party is alreadY
prepared with a candidate in the event of Mr. Hudson
osing his seat.

PROBABLE LEGAL 4COIDENTg.

At the Middlesex Sessions last week George Cook, ex-
policeman, cobbler, and thief, received as the reward of
a long series of achievements in the latter capacity, a
sentence of four years' penal servitude ;and the pollee
report of the Times mentions that—

"It was stated that during the time the prisoner was
in the police force, he was very active in getting up cases,
and many prisoners had been transported upon his evi-
dence. He was known by the cognomen of Jonathan
Wild."

The principle of setting a thief to catch a thief may be
a judicious one for the end in view,
,but thieves are gene-
rally apt to catch whatever they can, and such a rascal
as George Cook would be by no means unlikely to accuse
innocent perpons if it suited his purpose to do so. Of the
many prisoners who have been transported on the evi-
dence of this Jonathan Wild the Little, we should like
to know how many have been wrongfully condemned.
Would it be too much trouble for Si}' George Grey to
make some inquiry on this point? He will perhaps find
that several unfortunate persona, victims of Mr. Cook's
evidence, are now undergoing punishment for having
done nothing, for which crime his Home Secretary may
then, if he will be so merciful, advise her Majesty to
grant the miserable offenders a " free pardon:"—Pundt.

A PERSIAN PROCLAMATION.

We find in the Bombay Telegraph and Courier of
April 16 the translation of a prodatnation found in
the Shah Zada's tent after the capture of Mohamra,
which is curious and amusini, in its style. The pro-
clamation declares that the Britishb Government has
for some time pursued a course of aggression aiming
at the dominion of all the East :

" Unexpectedly they brought troops to the soil of a
power of Islam, and, having thus gained a footing, took
possession of one of the forts of Islam, which was on
the sea shore, and was only held by a small number of
troops as its fixed garrison, and thus no army being
present, they occupied it, and when they saw that if
they advanced from the sea shore they would flounder
about, like fish on dry land, they have stuck there, for
they knew that if they advanced toe blows of the sharp
swords of the heroes of Islam would not leave breath in
the soul of one of them. But his Majesty the Shah-in-
shah has taken advantage of this breach of faith of the
British Government to make manifest his royal will and
pleasure ; and his orders have gone forth, that countless
armies are to be assembled on the boundaries of every
country ' • and victorious troops have been directed to-
wards the frontiers to drive out the enemies of the faith,
and scatter the rubbish and dirt along the shores for
(Arabic, ' God giveth the victory to whom He pleases,')
and now in obedience to the words of the Prophet, to
him who doeth injury unto you do ye injury unto him
in like manner as he does injury to you,' let all the
people of Heran consider it incumbent upon them to
follow the precept 'slay in the name of God those who
wi'h to Flie, you ;' and let the old aud the young, the
small and the great, the wise and the ignorant, the ryot
and the sepoy, all without exception arise in the defence
of the orthodox faith of the Prophet; and having girt
up the waist of valour, adorn their persons with arms
mid weapons ; and let the ulema and preachers call
upon the people in the mosques and public assemblies
sod in the pulpits to give in a Jahad in the cause of
God, and thus shall the Gbazis in the cause of the faith
have a just title to the promises contained in the words
of the Prophet,
' Verily we are of those who fought in
the cause of God.'"

TUE SOUND DUES.

According to the treaty just concluded with
Denmark for the redemption of the Sound Dues/
the swn to be paid by England is 1,125,2061. Tll°
aggregate from all countries will be 3,890,06 g,
Great Britain being the first on the list, Russia*
second, and Prussia third, All the other totals are
insignificant, excepting those of Sweden and Nor
way and France. Subjoined are the States which
have entered into the convention, and the respective
amounts they have engaged to contribute :
Great Britain £1,125,206
Austria
Belgium
Bremen 24,283
France 135.434
Hamburg 11,890
Hanover
Lubeck 10,333 "
Mecklenburg

Oldenburg
Netherlands 156,45/
Prussia 493,336
Russia
Sweden 176,722

£3,385,132
the remaining 500,0001. will comprise a number °(
small amounts from countries which were not repot'
sented in the convention. The two largest item;
among these will be America, 79,000/., and Brazil
56,0001. According to one article of the contra°
the several Powers are to have the option of
diately paying in full, or of spreading the disburse"
meat over 20 years in equal half-ygarly instalineotsi
with interest, which appears to be contemplated
4 per cent. From the special arrangement with fhli
land, however, it seems that the sum is to be Pa-11
"within three months after the requisite act shat
have been passed by Parliament."
The collection of the Sound Dues ceased on
til:
Ist of last month, and on the previous day a Tot
morial was presented to the Danish Governalvoro
for compensation to the 35 agency firms at
who have hitherto devoted themselves to this "slot
am. Acting between the government official-Le,
the shipowners and consignoi-,s liable for the u
their services have been of equal value to both Pthe
ties, and, as they went into the Gael]
belief that the title of the Danish Govereleebnavge
the dues being indefeasible and perpetual- 11° noW
would occur to affect their position, their c'seceive
appears hard,. and will, it may be assumed,
favourable consideration.

PRUSSIA.

A let' er from Berlin of the rith says :—" The
result of the labours of the commission charged to
draw up a commercial code for all Germany is
shortly to be published, and will set forth the gene-
ral measures propos6:l to be adopted. When the
commercial bode, properly so called, shall be com-
pleted, the maritime code will be taken in hand ;
but the commission will. go from Nuremburg to
Hamburg to draw it up. The commission, too,
will be less numerous than at present, as the petty
states of the interior of Germany will not be repre-
sented at it."
Another letter from Berlin of the 17th, in the
Cologne Gagette, says :—" On Wednesday last, an
English deputation arrived here with the view of
completing the arrangements making for the grand
assembly of Evangelical Christians which is to take
place here in September next. The deputation
was received by the King at Potsdam two days
back, and it presented to his Majesty an address
from the Evangelical Alliance a England. The
members of the deputation had the holiour of

_ROYAL SHERI/4Y GARDENS.-WllO
STOPS THE WAY.

It will be a source of gratification to the fre-
quenters of these delightful gardens, and also to
the inhabitants of the iramed!a.e vicinity, to know
that the disputed and vexed question of the
right of carriage-way through New-street, and
also South-place, both in Kennington-road is
likely to be speedily settled. It will be recollected
th it during the course of last year Captain
Faunce, who owns an extensive estate in Ken-
ninton, Camberwell, and Newington, suddenly
caused a wall to be erected on that part of his
property which extends from the New-street
entrance to the gardens to South-place, adjoin-
ing
Kennington Park ; and as two public roads
ran through the property in question, the blocking
them up became of serious consequences, especially
to the small traders in the neighbourhood. The
public felt so annoyed, that they took the law into
their own hands, forcibly pulled or knocked down
the wall, and thereby gained the thoroughfare
they had previously enjoyed. The opening of
the Surrey Gardens this season wag again the
signal for its re-erection ; but, instead of building
a wall across the road, as before, a large trench has
been dug deep and wide, and fenced in with high
palings, thus again stopping up the carriage way.
' It is understood that Captain Faunce has law on
his side, nevertheless, it is exercising his power very
arbitrarily to stop up public roads for private pur-
poses. We understand that the Surrey Gardens
Company, in conjunction with a gentleman who
has lately built upwards of 400 houses in the neigh-
bourhood, are negotiating with Capt. Faunce to
waive his right of blockade; and if their proposals
are accepted (and we believe they will be), it will
redound to the credit of the gentlemen who have
thus so honourably come forward t) free the in-
habitants from so serious an obstruction.
London, England, 1857-05-19

RETURNS.

Several unopposed returns were ordered to be laid on
the table of the house.
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.
Mr. WYLD presented the following petition from the
assignees, committee of depositors, and depositors of the
Royal British Bank :
"That the laws now in force relating to the bankruptcy
and winding-up of joint-stock companies .are defective,
most injurious to the interests of creditors, and opposed to
the ordinary principles of bankruptcy in not providing for
the realisation and equal distribution of the separate es-
tates of shareholders, at the instance of assignees, or the
representatives of creditors.
" That such laws are also destructive of the interests of
shareholders in leaving them exposed (however desirous of
contributing fairly towards the debts of the company), to
the consequence and heavy expense of actions by indivi-
dual creditors.
" That it is expedient to confer power on the Courts of
Bankruptcy and Chancery to grant protection to the per-
sons and property of shareholders, with the consent of the
assignees or representatives of creditors (to be chosen for
that purpose where there is no bankruptcy), upon such
terms as the Court may think fit.
" That provision should be made to constitute the ceasing
to carry on business by any Joint Stock Company an act
of bankruptcy, in order that adjudication in bankruptcy
might be obtained forthwith, either with the concurrence
of or adversely to the company, and that further provisions
in accordance with recent legislation should be made to
enable the Court of Bankruptcy to make the requisite
calls, and finally wind up and settle the affairs of a bank-
rupt company.
" That power should also be conferred upon the courts
of Bankruptcy and Chancery, with the consent of the as-
signees or representatives of creditors, and also with the
consent of a certain proportion of the creditors, to sanction
a compromise between any or all of the shareholders and
the creditors, which power would be in accordance with
principles already recognised by the bankrupt laws."
