The following are extracts from this highly in.
teresting work:—

THE QUEEN'S ACCESSION.

" Hark ! it tolls ! All is over. The great bell of
the metropolitan cathedral announces the death of the
last son of George the Third who probably will ever
reign in Iltgland. He was a good man : with feelings
and sympathies ; deficient in culture rather than ability ;
with a sense of duty ; and with something of the con-
ception of; -what should be the character of an English
monarch. Peace to his manes I We are summoned to

ASTLEVS.

The holiday entertainments at this ever popular
establishment commenced last evening with a spec-
tacle, entitled, The Godolphin Arabian; or, the Race
Horse of the Desert. This is one of the most
gorgeous and effective pieces which Mr. Batty has
presented to the public. It opens with a beautiful
representation of the Desert of Arabic, and the scene
representing the desert is particularly striking from
its truthfulness, and furnishes the beholder with
very clear idea of the peculiar burning appearance of
the desert. The next striking scene—for it is' the
scenery of the piece which constitutes its chief at-

minent of our varied ills. We allude to cutaneous at.d

from neglect in early life. The remedy consists in the

" IS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a ♦ery fine wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was Made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrovo-
ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste
is inevitable."—The Sue, April 30. " Amongst the registration of
designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The
notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer-
tainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which
thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity
t• those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered
Paletot, two guineas.

114, itegeta-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant,

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D.
NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London,. for their
new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer
overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance.

The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille,
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also,
from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock
Coat—a desirable advantage in our wannest summer months, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over-
coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not
submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of
its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking,
or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which,
pined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, Is of some
standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction,
they respectfully submit, win not compromise that characteristic of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas
is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an
agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount
can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many
are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, four
doors north of Quadrant.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR; I have taken up my prophetic pen for the pur-
pose of laying before your numerous sporting readers
the probable fate of the " good things" at the forthcoming
Newmarket Second Spring and Manchester Meetings.
With regard to the former, which commences .on Tues.
day, with the Rowley Mile Plate, a plate of 501., two
sweepstakes, and a match between the Bishop of Rom-
ford's cob and Celia, which will be won by the former.
On Wednesday the 50 sovs. sweepstakes will fall to the
lot of the Duke of Bedford with Panther. The Suffolk
Stakes, with eighteen acceptances, have Wee Pet, The
Cob, Misdeal, and Alice Hawthorn among them, which
will of course be carried off by 'tauld mare, with the Pet
and Cob close up.
On Thursday Celia will have to experience another
beating by Garry Owen.
Now for a few words on the Manchester Meeting,
which opens on Tuesday. Mr. Meiklam will make
'tolerably sure of the Cup with the Best-of-Three or
Philip.
On Wednesday Marian Ramsay for the Filly Stakes.
Mr. Meiklam to produce the winner of the Cup, and the
Free Handicap to Lord Saltoun.
On Thursday the Victoria Stakes for two-year-olds
will fall to Mr. Dawson with Lord Harry, or Mr. Bul-
keley with Walter. The Kersal Stakes will produce a
run between Yellowboy and Marian Ramsay, which will
be rather close. I shall have the latter for the victor.
On Friday the Broughton Stakes will bring together
a small but tidy field, with Yellowboy for winner—the
Best-of-Three and Bedale handy.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF TUE TURF.

CITY OF LONDON.

A spectacle,—bearingthe startling title of Nelson,
Wellington and Napoleon, was produced at this
theatre last night. Like the generality of pieces in
which the probabilities of life are given to the winds,
it abounds rather in startling incidents, hair-breadth
escapes, the firing of muskets, and blue and red fire,
than a connected story, terminating in a catastrophe
—in which the machinations of the bad are successful
and the good are defeated. The drama is divided
into three epochs, each representing some of the most
prominent events in the life of the distinguished men
whose name it bears. Thus we have the death of
Nelson—the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon be-
fore the Battle of Waterloo, with a mimic represen-
tation of which the drama closes. Mr. Waldron
sustained the character of Nelson and the Duke
of Wellington ; whilst Mr. Broadfoot enacted
that of Napoleon. Both gentlemen dressed after
the most authentic records of the great originals, and
depicted some of their peculiarities in a clever
manner. Mr. J. Dunn played the character of an
Irish Amazon, and convulsed the house with laughter
by his unfeminine appearance. The other characters
were fairly sustained. Upwards of thirty of the
Coldstream Guards personated the British army. Of
the scenery we cannot speak in terms of praise, nor
of the delays and mistakes in the substitution of one
piece of scenery for another. When accidents of this
nature occurred, the gods gave audible expression to
their wrath in torrents of hisses. On the fall of the
curtain, however, Mr. Fox Cooper came forward and
apdogised for the imperfect way in which the
piece had been brought forward. He said the
house had only been in his possession since Friday ;
and although he had made great exertions, he had
not been able to accomplish all he had wished. To-
morrow night he hoped to remedy all defects, and
to put the piece upon the stage as it ought to be.
This restored good humour. Many of the scenes
were loudly applauded, and the drama was altogether
successful. The performances concluded with Lon-
don by Night, an adoption from the writings of
Dickens. The house was but thinly attended.

THE ROCK. HARMONICAN AT

-
THE FREE-TRADE BAZAAR.
The performances of the Messrs. Harrison on the Rock
Harmonican, at the Anti-Corn-law League Free-Trade
Bazaar, having created quite a sensation, some account of
the Harmonican itself may not, perhaps, be uninteresting to
our readers.

The Rock Harmonican is composed, in the first place, of a
wooden frame, with four horizontal bars of wood crossing it
from right to left, on which (being properly padded) are
placed stones or portions of certain sorts of rock, properly cut
into sizes, &c., and regularly arranged in musical order, like
the keys of a pianoforte. The performers, of whom there
are three, are each provided with two wooden ham-
mers, with which they strike the stones, and thus make
them discourse most excellent music. The manner in which
the Messrs. Harrison perform is really astonishing, and
proves that they must be accomplished musicians, thoroughly
versed in the principles of their art for unlos they
under-
stood the principles of harmony it Would be impossible for
them to perform as they do on this the most perfect
Rock Harmonicon that has ever yet been exhi-
bited. It has a complete chromatic scale from the
top to the bottom, and its compass
is so great that
it is capable of performing any operatic music, however
difficult. The arrangement of the keys
is most ingenious,
us
and whether as a beautiful musical instrument, or as
anin-
genious piece of mechanism, it is well worth attention and
inspection. The stones from which the notes are produced
were brought from the mountain of Skiddau, in Cumberland.

LITERATURE.

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW. No. V.
The writers in this new periodical would consult
their interests better, if they adhered to the topics
on which they profess to comment, and forgot alto-
gether the theological opinions of the editor, and the
parties with whom it originated. We have no means
of knowing who got up this rival of the Edinburgh,
or who are the chief contributors, but report says
that they belong to the Free Church of Scotland, and
that Dr. Chalmers and Sir David Brewster are its
chief patrons. We should iufer as much, however,
without any other authority than internal evidence,
for the train of argument on church matters, and
the conclusion of arguments on other matters, are so
evidently tinged with the peculiar doctrines of the
party, that we can hardly doubt it is a Non-intru-
sionist Review. There can be no objection to this.
Every sect and party have a right to establish an
organ for themselves, and the public have no reason
to complain of articles in accordance with the views
of the editors; but the public have a right to com-
plain when they are led astray by skilful devices, and
a conclusion is inferred not founded upon reasoning,
or any way connected with the question under dis-
cussion. We remember no instance of such a glaring
departure from the usual course of discussion, as is
exhibited in the first article of this Number. It is
evidently written by the Principal of St. Salvator
and estab-
and St. Leonard. No man in the country is so

lished some fifteen years ago, entitled " An Essay on
Magic, Prodigies, and Miracles," and has treated these
interesting subjects, if liot profoundly, at all events in
a popular manner, and well calculated to throw doubts
on pretended miracles, to destroy the delusions pro-
duced by wizards and conjurors, and to excite the in-
quisitive miisd to think well before it believes. The
introduction to the article is splendid, the explanations
of magical operations and delusions interesting and in-
structive. and some of the descriptions of modern dis-
coyqies are in admirable keepik the-extraorai-
nary results of science tpui art Which distinguishes
the present age above all others. We have read many

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

Vauxhall Gardens, which have been closed for
some years, were re-openekl last night under the ma-
nagement of Mr. H. Wardell. The interior has been
thoroughly cleaned and painted ; the walks have been
newly laid out, and no expense appears to have been
spared to make these grounds what they were many
years ago—a favourite place of resort for the middle
and upper classes. Many rumours had got about re-
specting them—it was confidently stated that a rail-
way terminus, spacious warehouses, and manufac-
tories, were to be erected on their site. These pro-
phecies, however, it would appear, were not destined
to be fulfilled—and the doors, as we have said, were
thrown open to the public last night, and shortly
after the gardens were very well filled. A band of
00 performers played a number of national
and other airs at intervals during the evening—
some pretty songs and duets were sung in the
orchestra. A ballet entitled Myra was produced
in the rotunda. Among the many attractions offered
to the visitor may be mentioned the. Golden Temple
of Honan, which was beautifully illuminated; the
EruiStion of Etna, with the destruction of the City of
Catana, the dissolving views, &c. The fire-works,
under the management of Air, Darkly, were on a scale
of great magnitude, and elicited loud applause, Joel
H. Diavola descended from a considerable height on a
single wire during the display. A handsome ball-
room has been erected for dancing, after the fire-
works, which presents a view of the Valley Sweet
Waters on the Barbyses. The illuminations, consist-
ing of 20.000 lamps, were, if possible, on a more mag-
nificent scale than ever. The covered walks have been
greatly extended, and, in the event of rain, the visitors

ASTLEYS.

The holiday entertainments at this ever popular
establishment commenced last evening with a spec-
tacle, entitled, The Godolphin Arabian; or, the Race
Horse of the Desert. This is ono of the most
gorgeous and effective pieces which Mr. Batty has
presented to the public. It opens with a beautiful
representation of the DEsert of Arabia, and the scene
representing the desert is particularly striking from
its truthfulness, and furnishes the beholder with a
very clear idea of the peculiar burning appearance of
the desert. The next striking scene—for it is the
scenery of the piece which constitutes its chief at-

QUEEA'S.

Although the holiday attraction at this neat and
excellently managed theatre was an " Original Bur-
lesque" of the far-famed dramatic and fairy spectacle
of Cherry and Fair Star, it is required by justice to
say a few words at least of the successful and praise-
worthy style in which the legitimate drama was last
night presented. In the most difficult of the whole
range of Shakesperian difficulties—the perplexed and
perplexing Hamlet--Mr. Grattan Dawson acquitted
himself to admiration, and fairly established his claim
to the rank of a tragic actor of high qualifications ;
and Miss Waverly Scott's Ophelia was in many re-
spects admirable, and in most above medio-
crity. The discrimination of the audience
was proved by frequent. and judicious applause.
She will, no doubt, give us opportunities of
expressing in more detail
our opinion that she
is advancing to the highest rank in her profession.
This very promising young lady was much applauded.
Mr. Parry's Laertes was, perhaps, a little too vehe-
ment, but, on the whole, adequate; and Mr. Royer as
Polonius, was, to say the least, respectable. The ex-
travaganza which followed is entitled Bone kS'quish,
and is written expressly for Mr. Dunn's (the Eng-
lish Jim Crow) inimitable and peculiar style of acting.
It was received with shouts of laughter, and Mr.
Dunn's " Nigger songs" were certainly very rich and
ludicrous, and h;s acting was relished deliciously by
most part of the audience, who seemed to have a more
intimate acquaintance with the peculiarities of nigger
manners and drollery than we can pretend to. To
those who are acquainted with the genuine wit and truly
comic powers of Charles Sloman, the improvisatore, it
is scarcely necessary to say that the grand burlesque of
Cherry and Fair Star; or, The Children of Cyprus,
is one of the cleverest of this kind of extravaganzas,
that have lately afforded so much fun and delight at
other favourite theatres. The scenery, which is
painted by the talented proprietor, Mr. James
is varied, picturesque, and often magnificent; it
elicited very great applause. The acting throughout
was a charming and well-sustained vein of comicality,
and was worthy of the expense bestowed in getting
up the piece. The songs are all parodies upon well-
known ditties, both comic and sentimental ; and the
vocal power of this well-selected company was never
more advantageously shown, than by Miss Louisa
Lyons, Mrs. Menders, Miss Rogers, Mr. Menders,
Mr. Norton, and Mr. Royer, in numerous and
humorous songs, duets, trios, and quartetsi which
were allotted them severally or collectively. Nor
must we forget the " choruses," which fairly claim
their full share of eulogy. On the whole, the " treat
of the %Vhitsun holiday," as it is aptly termed in the
announcement, is certain to outlive by weeks, or
more, the brief period of festivity for which it has
been avowedly brought into existence.

THE QUEEN'S ACCESSION.

" Hark ! it tolls ! All is over. The great bell of
the metropolitan cathedral announces the death of the
last son of George the Third who probably will ever
reign in England. He was a good man : with feelings
and sympathies ; deficient in culture rather than ability ;
with a sense of duty ; and with something of the con-
ception of what should be the character of an English
monarch. Peace to his manes ! We are summoned to
a different scene.
