WOOLWICH, APRIL B.—The Hercules troop-ship
is to be removed to-morrow morning from Greenhithe
to Northfleet- Hope, and the Advice and Jasper steam
vessels have been sent down to tow her to Northfleet,
where she will take on board the rest of her stores
for conveyance to Malta. She is already so much
loaded with stores from Deptford, Woolwich and
Chatham that her draft of water aft is 24 feet
inches. When she last left the river for the Mediter-
ranean she had an immense quantity of stores on
board, and was immersed 25 feet 1 inch. She will
be ready to proceed on her voyage in a few days.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The Resolute, Captain H. T. Austin, C. 8., and the
Assistance, Captain Erasmus Ommaney, were towed
down the river from Blackwell at an early hour to-
day by the Jasper and Advice steam-vessels, and are
now in the river alongside the wharf wall outside the
basin near to Charlton-pier, where they will have
their rigging completed and the requisite stores taken
on board.

An accident occurred to-day to an able seaman
named Lund, who fell from the rigging of the main-
mast of the Pioneer upon the gaff and into the hold of
the vessel. He was severely hurt, and had one of his
legs broken. He had been one of the seamen of the
expedition under Captain Sir James Clarke Ross, and
universal regret has been expressed that he should
have met with so severe an accident when about again
to leave for the Northern regions.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

An original play of powerful interest (so described
in the bills), from the pen of Mr. Bayle Bernard, en-
titled The Passing Cloud, was produced here last
evening with complete success. The scene of the
play is laid in Bremen, and it is in two acts, each
act consisting of a single scene. At the opening of
the play we find that Mr. Hartzmann (Mr. Vanden-
hoff), a rich and prosperous merchant of Bremen,
beloved and respected by all the citizens, has been
unanimously elected burgomaster. A beggar is
brought before him for judgment, and in the beggar
he recognises his own brother Moritz (Mr.
James Anderson), who seventeen years before had
been condemned to the gallies at Leghorn fcr
swindling, and who, having effected his escape, had
come to Bremen for the purpose of seeing his daugh-
ter
Linda (Miss Vandenhoff), whom the brother had
adopted and had brought up as his own child. He
sees her, but she knows not he is her father, and he
then intends to leave Bremen for ever. In the mean-
time, one of his former companions in crime, Waldeck
(Mr. Cooper), has, after a long swindling career, es-
tablished himself at Bremen as Colonel Rhein-
berg, a gentleman whom he had robbed and
murdered, and whose papers he had stolen.
He seeks to force Linda into alliance with
him by threatening to expose Hartzman, and to de-
ceive her produces the record of the conviction of
Moritz, having previously altered the name from
Moritz to Albert. To save her father, as she thinks,
she reluctantly consents to this alliance at the very
time she is about to be wedded to another whom she
loves, and, in order that her father may not imagine
that she knows his guilt, she actually pretends love
for the miscreant Waldeck, and is on the point of
consummating the sacrifice, when Moritz enters, de-
nounces Waldeck, exposes his machinations, and then,
overcome by his emotions, falls dead at the feet
of his daughter, who knows not that it is her father
to whom she has shown charity and kindness. The
piece was strongly cast : the acting of Mr. James
Anderson as Moritz was full of power. The scenes
with his brother and with his daughter were beauti-
fully given, and his making up was admirable.
He was called on at the conclusion of the first
act, and again at the close of the play.
Miss Vandenhoff was excellent as Linda. Her scene
with Waldeck was full of that intensity of feeling
which is so characteristic of the performances of this
talented young lady. Mr. Vandenhoff's Hartzmann
was a fine artistical piece of acting, powerful
and pathetic, without being violent, and
Mr. Cooper's Waldeck was a very careful
and efiective performance. It would be unjust to close
this notice without mentioning in terms of high
praise the acting of Mr. Emery in the very subordi-
nate part of Raub, a pirate captain. It was a per-
fect piece of acting, and elevated the part of Raub to
the dignity of a character. Mr. and Miss Vandenboff,
Mr. James Anderson, and Mr. Cooper were called'on
at the fall of the curtain, and if the piece is judici-
ously curtailed (it at present acts for three hours,
and is only in two acts) it will no doubt have a sun,
as it is just adapted for the holiday folks. The Devil's
Ring, that most magnificent of spectacles, followed,
and drew a crowd at half Trice.

FRENCH PLAYS.-ST. JAMES'S
THEATRE.

Mdlle. Denain, the fascinating and accomplished
actress from the Theatre Francais, made her first
appearance here for the season last evening, in
Casimir de la Vignes' comedy L'Ecole des Vieillards.
The part of her sexagenarian husband was performed
by M. Samson, who in this character had scope for
the display of a degree of energy and passion, requir-
ing an artistic power wholly different from that
which gave such point to his polished sarcasms in the
character of Bertrand. The comedy was extremely
well sustained in all the characters, and at the close
Mdlle. Denain and M. Samson were called before
the curtain. The entertainments concluded with
Le Sage's comedy of Les Projets de Mariage.
