HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Webster has taken advantage of the closing of Covent
Garden to secure the servicas of the elite of the Covent
Garden company. Mrs. Nisbett and Mrs. Glover
ap-
peared here on Saturday evening for the. first time this
season, in-the Like Chase, by far the best comedy that
Sheridan Knowles has as yet produced Mrs. Nisbett'a
Constance has lost none of its fascinating natural hey-
deyishnes3. She seemed overflowing with fun, whim,
and good-humour. Other ladies have acted the cha-
racter of Constance, and acted' it well too, but Mrs.
Nisbett is the very Constance herself. • There is
all the difference between the Constance of Mrs.
Nisbett-and the Constance of every other lady
who has attempted the part, but there is a difference
between nature and art. In the directly opposite cha-
meter of the Widow Green, the affected, old coquette,
the husLand-hunting Widow Green, Mrs. Glover was
equally admirable. We cannot sufficiently admire the
judicious discrimination displayed by Mrs. Glover in the
perforMance of this very difficult character. The
Widow Green, with a mind naturally vulgar, has yet
passed her life in a society which has given her manners
an outward pblish. She is not a vulgar woman, but a
vulgar lady. Mrs. Glover never forgets this distinction ;
with many temptations to overact the part, she never
once "o'ersteps the modesty of nature." It were nodiffi-
cult thing to draw down applause, and raise a laugh by
making the part in broad caricature sketch. It is a difficult
thing, requiring artistical talents of the highest order to
bring ont all the lights and shadows of the character, so
as to make the whole- a finished picture, and this it is
that Mrs. Glover has accomplished, an accomplished
in a manner so perfect; that at first sight the ditheulties
of the character seem less than they really are, in con-
sequence of the apparent ease with which she overcomes
them. Both ladies were called fur at the conclusion of
the Comedy, and were greeted with the most enthusi-
astic plaudits which they gracefully acknowledged. The
announcement of the piece for' repetition on Tuesday
was received with general approbation We perceive
that Farren is engaged at this Theatre, and will, we
presume, make his appearance on his return from his
Northern provincial tour, so that this season Thalia will
resume her reign in her favourite temple, " The little
Theatre in the Ilaymarket," which we hope to see
crowded every night- with a throng of laughter-loving
worshippers of the most sprightly of the Muses.

illiant Saunders, a fashionably-dressed young man, was
charged with drunken arid distill:et-1y conduct, and assaulting
police-constable No, 121, of the C diri,iun, in the execution of
his duty. The ccmplaioant stated, that at one. o'clock On Friday
morning he saw the defendant, who was excessively intoxi-
cated, staggering along Oxford-street, and vio!entiy pushing
against every person, either male or b male,. he met with.
Meeting a lad carrying a pot of beer; Lc "slammed'' him
against the shutters of •a shop, and caused the beer to be
spilt, alter which he " upset" tWo men walking together, and
then insulted two respectable f-_vales who were returning
home from a friend's house. 11 itness having gut up to him,
then seized him by the collar, upon- vs Weil lie struck him
with his clenched fist a tremendous Llow on the left eye.
(complainant's eye was mush blackened, and nearly cli:ved),
which, fur a time, completely him, but on recovering
himself he followed the defendant, and succeeded, with con-
siderable difficulty, in taking him into custody.
The defendant said he was very 'sorry for what had hap-
pened, but the truth was lie had becnitc_iiibing some ale and
ginger mixed, with some friends, and it had u overtaken him."

holidays had just commenced, and business will continue
• suspended until about the 15. h. 'lll t customary annual
settlements among the Chinese are understood to have gone
off very favourably and with less complaint than usual at
-.this season of a want of money. It is believed that the
. tea-men and dealers generally have done a profitable busi-
c-.
••tiess during the past year, and we are, in consequence, disposed
to anticipate some improvement in our markets for imports,
tvhen business is fairly resumed, particularly should political
tlnatters in this province take no unfavourable turn, in which
eour prospects at present are also cheering. We beg to call your
attention to the following quotations andremarks.
COTTON.—Bonlbav Bto 9-3 ; Tinnevelly 8-5 to 9-5. The
stock on hand is about 50,000 bales, and is held almost entirely
by the Chinese. Some improvement is anticipated imme-
diately after the holidays, unless the arrivals should be large.
COTTON lialiN.—The stock is about 6,000 bales, held
chiefly by the Chinese. Some improvement is expected, but
we cannot quote more than Spanish dollars 26 for good assort •
inenti.

LONG CLOTHS remain unaltered, and are still sold at 2-50
to •?_75,

'OOLLEN CLOTHS continue depressed, and are only to be
sold in small parcels at very low prices. Some sales of Spanish
Stripes of fair assortments have been made at 94 cents per yard.
LONG ELLS—Good assortments were worth about 6i,
I,carlets 9i. We are under an impression that these goods
Lave now seen their lowest point, and that some improvement
tz lay be looked for ere long.

CONSEQUENCES OP AN ELOPEMENT...,.-About three
weeks since the wife of Mr. Smith, of Pembroke-street, retail
brewer, ran off with a man named Hancock, a forage dealer,
also a married man, both leaving large families. The woman
not possessed of any great personal attractions; bat
to e

was upwards of 50 years of age, and her inamorata, also past the

, his wife, who had at all times
his unbounded confidence, carried off 2001. in money, and the
little articles of plate which the family possessed, as well as
diddian to ,
Mr.w Smith's troubles
every other article of value in the house. One of the children,
between three and four y ars of age, who had been in ill-
health, literally cried itself to death at the loss of its mother,
and the poor father, deprived of the means of meeting his pecu-
niary engagements, added to the distresses of his family, be-
came bereft of his senses, and this morning (Friday) died raving
mad.—Devonport Telegraph.
A melancholy instance of sudden death occurred, a
few days since,
atOrleans. M. de Ktainguy, of St. Pol, in
Brittany, who had arrived at Orleans by the steam-boat, on
his way to Paris, while sitting surrounded by his four daugh-
ters in the court-yard of the diligence-office waiting its depar-
ture, was struck with apoplexy, which, notwithstanding the
prompt assistance of a medical marl, immediately terminates

THE ORCHARD HILL ESTATE

has always been remarked for a combination of everything con-
nected with comfort ; a sort of quietude prevails throughout, for
without pretending to the art of modern tactics, it claims to be
called altogether a cozy habitation, than which a higher panegyric
does not occur to the composer of this sketch. It is only 20 miles
from London, and eight from the railway station, with a capital
road passing through it to Leamington, Buckingham, Windsor,
and Aylesbury; it is within an easy drive of Bulstrode Park,
Dropmere, Cliefden, and Tapton, all favoured objects in the imme.
diate vicinity, while
CHALFONT PARK AND ESTATE

is not merely its immediate neighbour, but seems an absolute ap.
pendage to the property under review, since the delights insepara-
ble from a finely wooded park, and grounds undulating most beau.
tifully in every direction, are possessicl in the fullest extent with.
out sustaining any of its outlay. .*

THE QUIET LITTLE DEMESNE
under consideration is limited to

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE ACRES,
ALL FREEHOLD, A PORTION TITHE FREE, AND NO
LAND TAX.

It is of a parkish character, prettily timbered, and the residence
seems especially adapted either to a sporting man or a retired mer-
chant. It contains the most abundant accommodation, including
altogether 10 bedchambers ; the drawing-room and parlour, with
a bow window to each, 27 feet long; library, breakfast-room corn.
municating with the

CONSERVATORY AND THE DUTCH GARDEN,
presenting altogether a very agreeable ensemble. The offices within
and without include all that can be desired : in the courtyard will
be found every appendage to comfort in its literal sense. The kit-
chen garden exceeds an acre of prolific ground, walled round and
clothed with choice fruit trees. The Dutch garden is disposed bi
excellent taste, and the American border (as it is denominated) is
extensive and full of luxuriant plants, with
A RHODODENDRON FENCE.
the effect of which should be seen at the proper season to be under.
stood or appreciated. The buildings essential to agricultural pur-
suits are ranged around the farm-yard, which is warm and shel-
tered. There are six cottages, dispersedly placed, of which four
are vis-a-vis to the two entrees to Chalfont Park. Such is a very
moderate outline of a most enviable property in a neighbourhood
particularly prone to good fellowship. Packs of hounds are within
easy reach, and game sufficient for amusement. It can only be
viewed by a printed particular, which will have a drawing of the
house and grounds annexed, and be ready 28 days antecedent to the
sale, at the White Horse, Uxbridge; the White Hart Hotel,
Windsor ; Botham's, Salthill ; of Messrs. Cunnington and Veley,
solicitors, Braintree ; the Auction Mart; and in Covent garden.

FATAL DUEL. AT PALERMO.

We have been favoured with the following from a gentleman
at Palermo, dated April 23 :
" A most melancholy event has just occurred at this town,
which has caused the greatest excitement throughout all the
country to the foreign and native at present residing here.
Having arrived on the spot where the catastrcphe took place
almost immediately after its having happened, and learned all the
particulars, I feel it my duty to send a statement of it as non
u possible, in order that no misrepresentation may occur. A
yacht is just on the point of starting for Marseilles, and I
send this by a friend who is proceeding direct to England, in
order that he may deliver it to the public press. The event
was as follows :
‘, Two officers of the 88th, now quartered at Malta, hav-
ing procured leave of absence, had come over for a few days
to Sicily; they had landed about three days at this place,
when yesterday evening a quarrel arose between one of the
officers, Lieut. J. Brooke Johnson, and a Neapolitan Noble-
man, the Due di Calabritti, which proceeded to such lengths
that Mr. Johnson, who was somewhat intoxicated, struck the
other such a violent blow on the mouth that it knocked out his
two front teeth. A meeting this morning was the consequence.
Before the affair had got wind to the police, the Due de Cala-
br:tti, being attended by Mons. del Balzoff and Signor Parisi,
while Mr. Johnson was accompanied by his brother officer,
Lieutenant Norton, and another English gentleman, called
Markland, the combatants were placed at fifteen paces distance,
pistols being the weapons used. The first fire took place
without effect ; but, unfortunately, notwithstanding every
attempt made to reconcile the parties, a second fire was in-
sisted on, when, horrible to relate, Mr. Johnson was shot dead
on the spot, his own shot wounding his antagonist in the face
so desperately as to carry away part of the nose, disfiguring him
most probably for life. The seconds are all in custody, and it
is feared will be hardly dealt with, as the laws against duelling
are very severe in this country. As may be imagined, a great
groom is thrown over all here by this very unhappy affair."

INDIA.

The departure of Lord Auckland has taken place.
Various addresses, proving how much his Lordship was
appreciated at Calcutta were presented to him. Lord
Ellenborough, who reached Calcutta on the 28th of Feb-
ruary, has infused new spirit into the preparations for
the reinforcements to China by his going on board to
examine the transports.
The disturbances caused by the mutiny of the Madras
Sepoys have terminated, and all is tranquil in those dis,
tric ts.

There are symptoms of confusion being likely to break
out at Oude, where the old King is acting the oppressOr,
at the instigation of a crafty Minister.
In the small state of Judpore there has been some
alarm created, but it is not likely to produce any im•
portant results.

CANDAHAII.

Our intelligence from Candahar extends to the 10th of
March , at that date the enemy were in considerable force,
within seventeen miles of the city. No fighting had occurred
since the 12th of January, and of this encounter we gave par-
ticulars in our last. A flock of camels had been attacked,
and 100 of them carried away ; they had been sent off some
six miles to graze; 150 of the men who were attending them
were killed. The present force at Candahar amounts to
7,200 fighting men, with eighteen pieces of artillery. A
reinforcement is now on its way to them of 2,500; the g,rri-
son of Kelar-i-Ghilzie, eighty miles from them, on the road
to Ghuznee, is 1,000 strung. The enormous difficulty of ob-
taining camels, or carriage cattle of any sort, seems to be daily
on the increase. General Nott's stores of every kind seem, of
late, to have been very nearly run out ; 100,0001., and 50,000
ball cartridges were, on the Bth ult., dispatched from Sukkur I
and Shikarpore for his use. Medical stores for 6,000 men for
six months have been sent for to Bombay. Captain Hender-
son, of the Madras Engineers, has been ordered to quit Suk-
kur, where he was laying out, and planning new cantonments,
and proceed immediately to Candahar, to survey for a road
along by the Kujjuek pass, so that troops may march from Can-
dahar to Kelat-i-Ghilzie without going through the pass at all.
It is generally rumoured that a portion of General Nott's force
will move eastward towards Ghuznee, so 63011 as the weather
permits—every body asking, at the same time, how they were
to be moved.

QUETTAH.

No event of any note appears to have occurred at Quettah
during the month. Up to the 20th of February it continued
to snow heavily, and afterwards heavy rains prevailed. This
was the case at Candahar as well as Quettah ; subsequent to
this, the weather had become agreeable. On the 12th Colonel
and Mrs. Marshall, with a detachment of one hundred of the
6th Native Infantry, and 400 of the 4th Light Cavalry, were
caught in a tremendous snow storm in the upper end of the
Bolan Pass, and very nearly lost. Ten men were frozen to
death ; the rest escaped with difficulty, and reached Quettah
in a very miserable plight. One hundred camels perished.

THE BEAUTEOUS VALE BELOW

is so picturesque, so varied, and so extensive, as to puzzle thefeeble
powersof the writer to describe it faithfully, without encountering;
the charge of colouring the landscape too highly. It may be said
in great truth, throughout England; there is nothing to surpass it;
the most fastidious would find it difficult to improve even in their
mind's eye the panorama that is presented; the river with its
moving scenery appears like
A SPLENDID LAKE TO ADORN THE LOVELY VALLEY,
and is a valuable auxiliary lathe Grove; the views are of such
extent as may be imagined by bringing within sight the massive
pile of Windsor Castle, after passing over a vale of singular
richness and variety; and there are ornamental waters dispers-
edly placed throughout the domain, to diversify and ornament the
landscape. The kitchen gardens are walled and plentifully sup-
plied. But it is time to recur to the Mansion : it is a solid
structure, erected with a view to durability ; it is one full of com.
fort and convenience ; there is, in fact, no lack of anything that a
gentleman of fortune or a first-rate merchant can desire, who re.
tires from his daily professional gains to enjoy the quiet repose of
the Grove; and there is a conservatory, to find amusement dur-
ing his absence to a fair hostess.. The property extends to about
ELEVEN ACRES OF LAND,

including the house, wood, gardens, and rich park meadows. In
the court-yard are two coach-houses end six-stall stables, with
brewhouse, and all the appendages connected with the word coin.

ON SHOOTER'S HILL.

THE GROVE; a greatly admired Villa, a little removed from
the High Road, with delightful Pleasure Grounds, Lawns, and
Plantations) that encompass it, and rich Paddocks, altogether
Eleven Acres.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by Major-
General Sir John May to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPS.
TITION, at the Auction Mart, on WEDNESDAY, the Ist ofJune,
a very delightful Villa—one that has uniformly beeti pointed out
as the leading feature of this romantic spot; it is denominated

THE GROVE ON SHOOTER'S HILL;
a little removed from the perpetual bustle of the Dover-road. Its
entree is by a lodge of pretty design, covered with ivy. The man.
sion is on a lofty position,but the wintry winds are estranged from
this domicile of comfort by
THE WOODLAND SCENERY
by which it is encompassed. Within the domain there is an infi-
nite variety of everything that can please the eye. It is diversified
by lawn and pleasure.grounds, arid wilderness and plantations, with
shrubbery walks extending far and wide. From the summit the

SCINDE.

'There is, on the whole, very little news of any special interest
this month from Scinde ; what we have, though indefinite, is
rather unsatisfactory. Letters from Kurachee of the 22d state
that cholera had appeared in her Majesty's 22,d, which had just
ari ived ; it had broke out on board the steamer, and 18 died on
their way from Bombay. Six more were landed in a very bad
state. On the evening of the 21st six had been seized, and four
of the cases proved fatal. '1 he hot weather is setting in, and the
floods of the Indus beginning to appear. Rumours of a general
rising of the 13elochees ; of hostile movements on the part of the
Ameers of Kitypoor; of the capture of the Satellite steamer,
the seizure of the treasure she contained, and murder of her
officers, have all front time to time had currency ; but all of
them happily prove, so far as we know, to be totally un-
founded. General England had issued an order that no ladies
should be permitted to move into the upper country. A
heavy force meanwhile has been ordered from Scinde to move
up the Bolan pass—a brigade of 2,500 being destined to re-
inforce Candahar : this was composed of her Majesty's 41st,
the ith Native Infantry, 2d Grenadiers, 3d Light °Cavalry,
one troop Bombay Horse Artillery, 150 Poonah Horse, and a
battalion of flank companies. Major Outram was sick and at
Shikarpore on the 18th ; his personal influence and character
amongst the Scindians are such, that any interruption in his
career of usefulness would be felt as a calamity.

UNE MAISON DE BACHELIER,

The grounds may be improved by a little more planting, and the
gardens will be better stocked next season ; but the villa is perfect,
and very nearly completed for instant occupation—the oak furni.
ture prevailing throughout.

Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse to call the attention of
the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. It is two miles and a
half from Windsor, and two from the Great Western Station.

GHUZNEE.

We have had no authentic or special items of intelligenee from
the officials at Ghuznee, so far as we can discover, since the 3d
of November. For the space of four months it has been com-
pletely isolated and cut off from all communication, either with
Candahar or Jellalabad. Native accounts, however, give us
every reason to believe that Colonel Palmer and his weak de-
tachment (a sepoy regiment and some artillery) have wea-
thered it bravely, and continue safe and well. Their position
is a tolerably strong one, and he was, from the commencement,
well supplied with ammunition and food.

THE BEAUTEOUS TALE BELOW

is so picturesque, so varied, and so extensive, as to puzzle the feeble
powers of the writer to describe it faithfully, without encountering;
the charge of colouring the landscape too highly. It may be said
in great truth, throughout England, there is nothing to surpass it;
the most fastidious would find it difficult to improve even in their
mind's eye the panorama that is presented; the river with its
moving scenery appears like

A SPLENDID LAKE TO ADORN THE LOVELY VALLEY,
and is a valuable auxiliary to the Grove; the views are of such
extent as may be imagined by bringing within sight the massive
pile of Windsor Castle, after passing over a vale of singular
richness and variety; and there are ornamental waters dispers-
edly placed throughout the domain, to diversify and ornament the
landscape. The kitchen gardens are walled and plentifully sup.
plied. But it is time to recur to the Mansion : it is a solid
structure, erected with a view to durability ; it is one full of corn.
fort and convenience ; there is, in fact, no lack of anything that a
gentleman of fortune or a first-rate merchant can desire, who re-
tires from his daily professional gains to enjoy the quiet repose of
the Grove; and there is a conservatory, to find amusement dur-
ing his absence to a fair hostess. The property extends to about
ELEVEN ACRES OF LAND,

Including the house, wood, gardens, and rich park meadows. In
tie court-yard are two coach.houses snd six -stall stables, with
brewhouse, and all the appendages connected with the word com-
Firt. The leasehold is subject to only a nominal ground-rent. The
Railway Terminus is only three miles off.

DR. REID'S LECTURES ON CHEMlSTRY.—Yester-
day evening, Dr. held delivered another lecture on this branch
of se once, to as crowded an audience as usual, in the great room
at Exotic,. Hall Being now upon the subject of gases, the expe-
rimental pi., I of his lecture increased in brilliancy. His theore-
tical explaniei-n of the principles involved in Argand lamps,
which he also practically illustrated, was an ornament to his
lecture. Showing that flame and air mutually fed and
strengthened each other, he proceeded to demonstrate how that,
by the formation of these lamps, which consist of concentric
circles of flames, they reciprocally imparted powers of
light and brightnest, to each other, producing on the whole a
hotly of light, clear and intensely luminous. Dr. Reid, in his
next lecture on Wednesday, treats upon the subject of hex', as
relates to stoves, utensils in daily use, and steam-apparatus in
general.

THE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE
devoted very much of her time,
the superior taste for which she was greatly distinguished. It was
originally a Villa in its literal sense, but the noble owner has
given to it a more imposing character, by an outlay of "many
thousand pounds" in constituting it one of
THE MOST RECHERCHE IN LONDON'S ENVIRONS;
there is capability to accommodate a family of rank, aided by a
profusion of comforts which are generally estranged from modern
buildings ; and the offices are most perfect—and this be it remem.
bered (and much more may be added) is within a quarter of an
hour's drive of
THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND COMMONS.

It has already been said it abounds with amity comfort ; it is so
judiciously planned that the grand suite of apartments are all in
communication with the long gallery verandah, which overlooks
and extends by a flight of stone steps to the beautiful lawn, where
the cypress and :he weeping willow are contrasted with a little army
of American plants and flowering shrubs without end; in the
centre of this beauteous scene _

THE LITTLE PARK PADDOCK,
and around it is the plantation walk. The villa is adorned by
A CONSERVATORY AND HOT-HOUSE,
the melon and cucumber grounds are a little removed in company
with the fish pond; the kitchen garden is on the opposite side,
only separated by the road, and there is an additional paddoek for
two more cows connected with it ; the courtyard is so complete
that it would be difficult to discover a single want; in fact, it is
altogether one of the most eligible villas in the market.
It can only be viewed by particulars, to be had of Messrs. Roy,
Blunt, Johnston, and Walton, Solicitors, Lothbury ; the Auction
Mart ; and in Covent-garden. '
