The notion of Captain BERKELEY for a Committee of
the house of C mrnons, to consider of th© propriety or
addre,sing her MAJESTY, praying her to grant some
" further Feeuniary recompense to the officers, seamen,
soldiers, al-,d rrrr;nes, engaged in the operations against
the CAnese empfre, in the years 1840, 1841, and 1842,"
led to a debate, ve Hoch, if it had no other merit, elicited
two most eharistic speeches—the one from Sir ROBERT
PEEL, the other from the CHANCELLOR. of the Ex-
CHEQUER. It is impossible for any Englishman to look
back at the operations of the conjoint expeditions which
we dispateh-d, in those years, against the Chinese; to re
member the adiuirable, good understanding which the sa-
gacity and v;gilance of the officers, commanders-in-chief,
by sea and by lantl, maintained betwfien both branches of
the erviee ; to r, fleet on the brilliant com-
bination of patient endure! co dr

most gratifying evidence that the character of our bra

army and our daring navy, had, in no respect, degene-
rated from that of their illustrious predecessors in the
palmy times of that terrible war which it sustained, sin-
gle handed, against the united forces of France and all
the other Continental Powers, in the early part of the
present century. Of the merits of Sir H. Goner and
Sir W. PARKER, and the officers employed under them
in these Chinese operations, there can never be enter.
tained but one opinion. No reward can well be
deemed too great f)r such successes, so unexceptiona-
bly accomplished by them. Our own opinion clearly

l' HE KING OF HOLLAND.

Y .terday afternoon a royal messenger arrived direct
from the .11:igue, bearing intelligence of the King of
Holland's positive intention of visiting this country within
the present week. From private information it was fully
expected that his ➢Majesty and suite would have arrived
at Mivart's Hotel on Saturday evening, and carriages
were even sent to Woolwich by four o'clock in order to
be in readiness to convey the illustrious visitor and re-
tinae to the metropolis.
We are informed that the substance of the intimations
brought from the Hague by the King's messenger was
hat circumstances had detained the King beyond the
day originally cunterupLted for his departure for E;,g-
land, but that his Majesty and attendants would embark
for England, at Rotterdam, on Wednesday next, and that
the King would certainly arrive by the following day
(Thursday).
His Excellency M. Dedel,. the Netherlands Minister,
and General Fagel were at Mivart's several times on
Saturday; and yesterday. after the receipt of dispatches
from his Govehement, his Excellency gave the neces-
sary instructions- to Indic every preparation for his. Ma-
j: sty's ecption on lhursthy.
The Earl of Jers:-y, the _Master of the Horse, has re-
ceived the commands of the Queen that the royal car-
riages and servants of his department of the royal house-
hold he placed at the King of Holland's disposal during
his :Majesty's sojourn in this country.
The Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting to the Queen,
h9.s Le,ei seh cted f r the honour of attending on the
King of Holland while here, and the Hon. Capt. Nelson
Hood is to be the other attendant to wait on his Majesty.

THE WRECK OF THE DUTCH INDIAMAN.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF THE DUTCH CONSUL.
The disclosures respecting the wreck of the Dutch Indiaman,
the John Hendrick, lost on the •St. Paul's Rocks, near the
equator, as reported in another part of this journal, has pro-
duced the greatest commiseration throughout the docks ; yet,
at the same time, we regret to state that the treatment of the
destitute survivors by the Dutch Consul is widely contrasted with
the generosity of other Governments to their shipwrecked
mariners. It appears that the moment the Chance, the ship
that saved the poor fellows, arrived in the decks, the Duteh
captain and the surviving portion of his crew, accompanied
by Captain Roxby, of the Chance, proceeded to the office of
the consul, in Fenchurch-street, for the purpose of obtaining
relief, and to be forwarded to their native country. It
is necessary to state that owners of vessels rescuing lives on
the high seas are entitled, by an Act of Parliament, to one
shilling and sixpence per day for the keep of such persons so
saved. Although the unhappy creatures were on board of the
Chance for forty days, most liberally treated by the captain,
who is the owner, and who placed her in great danger to save
them, incurring an expense of near t 501., he did net press his
claim. The Dutch captain, however, begged the Consul,
through the medium of the public prints, to acknowledge their
heartfelt thanks to Captain Roxby, for preserving their lives,
which the Consul stated should be done; but nothing
of the sort has taken plaee, and the treatment
received throughout, to say the least of it, towards
Captain Roxby, has been most ungentlemanly. The
Dutch captain, who is respectably connected, was told
that whatever was due to Captain Roxby must be put down to
the score of humanity, and if he wanted anything further he
might be d—d. It is true, certainly, that the Dutch mariners
were what is termed outfitted—clad in suits of second-hand
clothing, out of Hounsditch —and housed at the Yorkshire
Grey Tavern, in Lower Thames street ; but the allowance was
beggarly as compared with the treatment wrecked seamen of
other nations could meet with in the port of London. Yester-
day, the reporter, in order to ascertain the truth of the above
complaint, waited upon the Consul, but he met with no better
recep'ion, on the ground that the newspapers had nothing to
do with the practices of the Dutch Government.

Early on Saturday the poor seamen, with their captain, took
their departure in the Rotterdam steamer for their native place.
They previously took their leave of Captain Roxby and the
men of the Chance, who had saved them ; it was of a most
affectionate character. They complained bitterly of the man-
ner they had been treated by their consul. It is, we believe,
the intention of Captain Roxby to prosecute the Dutch Go-
vernment for the amount he is entitled to, and to present it to
the Nods for the erection of the New German Hospital.—

'Tis Semiseria—favoured not alone
With grace and beauty which are o'er her thrown ;
'Tis her's with lightning speed to skim the plain,
But distance foils and makes her efforts vain.
On noisy Cat'ruct rush along the course,
(A common plate horse, and a madman's force !)
Now True boy follows, while his backers see
In fancy's sketch the joys of victory.
Next, Tyne's proud Queen and Strathspey gallop by
Pug—Ceunsellor, and dense Obscurity.
Next comes the Irish force ; he's wise, I hold,
Who, like Sir Bobby, baits for them with gold ;
For when the contest makes some cheeks look blue,
Who knows ? the Irish lads may pull him thro'.
There flies Intrepid—sure as I'm a seer—
With six stone six he'll make the field look queer.
Big are the moments now—the womb of Fate
Teems with the misty future—Chance, await
Upon thy slave ! and clear his dizzy pate.
They're off they're off ! hark to th' exulting cry !
Hope thrills each heart, and brightens ev'ry eye.
Onward they dash,
As Jove's bright flash
Thunders along the sky:
Fleeting they bound,
O'er the echoing ground :
While on them ev'ry eye,
Is fixed as tho' life,
Hung on the strife,
And the hope of victory.
The ship-yard past, now by the gentle Dee—
Whose placid face,
II( fleets their colours joyously—
Flows the swift race,
They round the turn—
With pride they burn,
And tug the tightened rein ;
The Stand they pass ;
A gallant mass,
As ever trod the plain.
Hurrah ! Hurrah !
The young'uns lead the van 1—
Ould Ireland's star,
With burning rays,
Its light displays,
And makes some cheeks look wan.
The ship-yard turn regain'd
The pace begins to tell:
Many a star has waned
And bid sweet hope farewell.
Still, still the light weights lead:
But pressing on their flank
Is many a gallant steed,
As past Dee's verdant bank
They rush with thund'ring speed.
Now o'er the rainbow train
OBSCURITY would fain
Her ebon mantle throw;
The cloud is past,
No veil is cast
Over the gallant show :
Here droops the beauteous seed
Of laughing COMEDY.*
The CAT'RACT'S rushing speed
Falls on the banks of Dee :
The PORTRAIT'S done ;
And now the fun
Grows dreadfully exciting.
Alas, poor ghost !
I wish—almost—
That you were not inditing ;
For my heart shares
Your throes and cares,
And trembles while I'm writing.
* * * * *
The distance now is gained,
And every nerve is strained
To lead the glorious van.
Dense mists arise
Before my eyes,
I scarce the course can scan.
Shadows away,
The prophet's day
Cannot be dimm'd by thee.
I see it now,
INTREPID'S brow
Is flushed with VICTORY ;I
While in the race
For second place

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 soya. 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

STANDARD.

The equestrian season of this popular eastern
house commenced last night with a piece called The
Conquest of Tartary ; or the Eagle Rider and Steed
of the Desert. It is from the pen of Mr. D. W.
Broadfoot, late stage manager at Astley's, and intro-
duces some very effective and striking scenes, which
would do credit to a more extensive establishment.
The theatre is 120 feet in circumference, and is sur-
mounted with crimson and white tapestry, giving it
a lively and beautiful appearance. It should be men •
tioned that the arena is beneath the stage, and as the
curtain rises the audience see the stage raised and
drawn off by machinery. The house was full.

FEVER AND INFLUENZA.

NORRIS'S bilfo§iktea---certain remedy
for Fevers, Colds, Infittenea, and all Diseases that arise from
obstructed perspiration. The Medicine hero recommended to the
Practitioner, and the Public, possesses qualities of the most mild and
beneficial nature ; it is composed of articles known to bi'the most
anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profes-
sion, as the only certain anntidote for Fevers of every description.
When the disease is produced either from, cold, obstruction, bad air,
swampy Mid damp situations, or putrid Miasma, whether malignant
or epidemic, or by other caus6s, this medicine is certain in its opera-
tion and effects, it produces the • most gentle and salutary perspira-
tion, and by a specific quality, peculiar to• itself, not only expels the
disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated
J)rops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their invariable effects,
of numbers of tke nobility, gentry, and medical men of this king-
dom, and the extensive demand for theni from the West Indies and
America, • proves that in those eountries they are held in equal
estimation. -

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

The recent message of President Polk, and his threat-

England. The following is the list of the American
navy, including the vessels building and in ordinary, to-

SURREY.

Mrs. Davidge has opened the Whitsun holidays with
one new, and, if we may believe the play-bill, " ori-
ginal drama, written by Mr. Fox Cooper, and en-
titled the Old Fleete Prison, and an adaptation from
the French by Mr. E. Stirling, called the Secret Foe;
or, the Mason of Abbeville. The American Samson
(Mr. Canfield) also exhibited tothe astonished lieges a
succession of Herculean feats, perhaps unrivalled
since the days of the English Topham. Any attempt
to detail the plot of the new piece would, we are
afraid, prove sufficiently tiresome to the reader, and,
therefore, we shall content ourselves with stating that
the play contains the stock characters which have
formed the staple of all " original" productions since
the days of the earliest dramatists; namely, an elder
brother, sensible and selfish, and, therefore, a
scoundrel; a younger, handsome, amiable, and a
spendthrift; a rich widow, who, wooed by the first,
wooes and marries the second ; a young lady in love,
sentimental and silly, and a motley group of secondary
beings who strut their little hour, not so much with
the view of contributing to the " perfect whole," as to
exhibit to the audience the abilities which a tyrannical
management has in their proper persons condemned to
minor parts and unworthy situations. Some excellent
scene painting (whether new we know not) by
Brunning, Turner, and others, excited universal ad-
miration, and the rich but formal costumes of the
latter part of the seventeenth, or beginning of the
eighteenth century, were admirably preserved. After
the drama, Mr. Canfield, the strongest man in the
world, exhibited his wondrous feats—feats which cer-
tainly speak well for the degeneracy of our age.
He thought nothing of bending bars of iron across
his arm; breaking ropes two inches in diameter;
carrying cannons of 400 and 600 lbs. weight;
waltzing round the stage with a couple of men across
his neck, and other sundry and pleasurable amuse-
ments of a like character. His muscular develop-
ment affords a study to those persons who delight in
physical superiority, and we heartily recommend all
such admirers to see this artiste. The adaptation
from the French finished the evening. Mr. H.
Hughes, Mr. N. T. Hicks, Mr. Fredericks, and
Mrs. Honner, sustained the principal characters. The
whole piece presented a wonderful resemblance to
the first, as if they had—to use the graphic language
of a gentleman in the same box with us—come from
the same parent nest. The house was very full, and
the performances seemed to give great satisfaction.

PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS.

LYCEUM.

The new burlesque of Cinderella is " a bit, a most
palpable hit"—as a spectacle superior to Aladdin, and
equal to Valentine and Orson, or Whittington, in
wit and fun, and humour and satire. It is a good
idea that of making the wandering Prince
the identical Roclolph of Gerolstein, who is the hero
of the Mysteries of Paris. The idea is well worked
out, and the piece is a capital quiz upon Eugene
Sue's great work. Wigan as Rodolph and Mrs.
Keeley as Cinderella were admirable. They convulsed
the house with laughter by their humorous imitations
of Macready and Helen Faucit. Never was there
a more laughable imitation. The ball scene was
gorgeous, and in this, too, Mrs. Keeley gave an
admirable imitation of Lucile Grahn in the " Mazurka
d'extase, while J. W. Collier, as her partner, was
quite "up " to all the mannerisms of Perrot. The last
scene, however, was the triumph—thirty-six English
children, "Les Danseuses Anglaises," pupils of Mr.
Frampton, gave the " Pas de Fleurs" and the "Pas
des Moissonneurs "—and verily the Viennoise must
look to their laurels. There was a perfect hurricane
of applause at the conclusion, and it was encored ;
the audience loudly called for a third repetition, but
Mr. Frampton came forward and expressed a hope
that the audience would not insist on an encore, as
it might fatigue the children. The justice of this
appeal was acknowledged, and the piece was an-
nounced for repetition by Keeley, who, as Capil-
laire, the servant of the Prince, had contributed
greatly to the success of the piece by his inimitable
drollery.

THE STRAND.

Last night this snug little theatre opened for the
summer season, with a new drama, in three acts,
called London by Night, and which contains some
amusing sketches of low life. Miss Waite and Mr.
W. H. Harvey danced the Polka, after the play
was concluded, so much to the satisfaction of the
audience, that they were loudly applauded, and ob-
liged to dance it a second time. An extravaganza
named Robinson Crusoe,. or the Adventures of a
Friday, followed—a laughable sort of hodge-podge.
De omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis. A good many
comic songs are jumbled up in it. Miss Pattison
sung one to the air of " My beautiful Rhine," and
Miss Bromley another to the air of " By the margin
of fair Zurich's waters," in very good style. On the
whole, we should say, the piece succeeded—the main
object of such a composition being to make the au-
dience laugh, no matter how or wherefore. The
performances concluded with a farce, called Clair-
voyance, in which Miss H. Wallcott took the prin-
cipal part, and showed much diversity of humour.
Robinson Crusoe, and London by Night, were an-
nounced for the week, and the announcement was
followed by the plaudits of the audience.
London, England, 1845-05-13

CITY OF LONDON.

A spectacle, bearing the 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 represeri
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 praii;e, 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.
