SURREY THEATRE.

Sixteen- String Jack, ~,hich was played for ninety-seven
nights at the Olympic, during the past season, was re-produced
last night at the Surrey. Ihe advantages of stage room, the
aid of a portion of Batty's magnificent stud, and the circum-
stance of the above theatre possessing a doable company,
tended materially to enhance the effects originally produced.
Air. George V., ild appeared in his favourite character of
Kit Clayton, with shouts of applause. Dlr. Hicks
succeeded Mr. Leman Rede, as Sixteen-String Jack ;
and Messrs. Neville, Walton, Goldsmith, and Stoker
.gave their aid. Mrs. Vining played the trusting Mary Fer.
rers, and Miss Martin, Kit's mistress. The piece was re-
ceived with general applause : it has in it the elements of suc-
cess, being taken by the author from his own popular tale of the
" Royal Rake," and introducing among other well-known
characters of the last century, Beau Brummell, Colonel Hang( r,
Toni Bullock, Buckhorse, and Jack Hann. The Opera
dancers, Slow. Lebarre and Madlle. Cromini created con-
siderable excitement by their extraordinary dancing in the
third act. The house was crowded to excess.

ELY-PLACE IMPROVEMENT BILL.

The Ely-place Improvement Bill was read a third
time and passed.
;SUDBURY IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Sir S. GLYNNE brought up the Report of the Come-
mittee on the Sudbury Improvement Bill, and moved that
the amendments proposed in Committee be adopted.
Mr. GREENE—Sir, this is the Bill (holding up a
single sheet sd paper), and (holding up an immense
mass of documents) these are the amendments.—
(A laugh.) Under these circumstances, in order that
the House may know exactly what they are about to do,
I move that before the amendments be agreed to, the
Bill with the amendments, be printed at the ex-
pense of the parties, and circulated among the Membns
of the House, the amendments being distinguished front
the original Bill.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET thought that after
the amendments had been printed sufficient time ought
to be given to the House to consider the subject.
After a few words from Mr. BARNARD and Colonel
RuskinnooKE, Mr. Greene's amendment was agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. 13YNG, the Brentford Gas 13111
was read a third time and passed.

STRAND TRi-_.ATRE

A new harletta, entitled Boots at the Swan, op'ned last
evening's entertainments at this favnurite theatre with no in-
considerable gusto ; for if provocation, to laugnter, or distention
of the diaphragm to its best wid.h, be rational t. ken of the
effectiveness of a g;od thing, " Boots " in all conscience causes
tt.is in the audience. The plots of light mot sels such as these
are in en, ioually so ephemeral and unlabeured, that it. is
matter of inconsequence to write them oat, excellence chiefly
resting in the " salt" and due seasoning enweaved into the
characters during enactment. Hence last night, Keeley,
was inimitably droll, not by anything learnt front his text-
book, but purely by a certain dry causticity of humour,
which was scarcely aided by a word, his character being the
pout trapl of Jacob Earwig, the "Boots "—one of the tavern-
fraternity in this kingdom, v. ho are, c..rtes, nerer miter' ior
tees share of over-sagacity, while in Keeley's ease, " Boots" is
almost deaf. Out of this %tunny of Jacob's rise the absur-
dities of the piece, and the ludicrous misunderstandiegs which
it gives origin to are many, and abounding with fun ; more
especially in such cases, where, catching hold with
his tympanum just the fag-end of wcrds, he gave them an
in Tritons opposition-meaning to that intended, which produced
au infi ituite of broad humour. Metamorphosed into the po-
liceman, as he subsequently was, we must confessedly pi
nounce him to have looked the very nattiest of the " Blues."
Among the subsidia'y characters, rank Friskley (Mr. J. S.
Hall), carried out the stratagem of his part with dispatch,
spirit, and cleverness, and the manner in which he interested
himself in the eyes of Miss Cecilia Moonshine (Miss Ellen
Daly), a romantic young lady, whose heart ad the livelong day is
among Mantreds, Rugantinos, and Tancreds, possessed much
adroitness of execution. Peter Pippin (J. W. Collier), a lad
with an inveterate predilection for jam, and Sally Smith (Mrs.
Melville) deported themselves also genteely. A revival of last
year's Punch, with its host of comicalities and merriments,
ensued, aided by the cleverness of Mrs. Keeley. The house
was full and fashionable at setting out, and certainly he who
would shake the cobwebs of care from his sides, should, putting
preference out of question, pass an evening at this jocund
theatre.

ATHLONE,

The labours of this Committee also terminated this morn-
ing ; the objection to the return being exactly the same as in
the Waterford case. The decistoa was governed by the same
arguments and precedents. The Member returned was Capt.
De La Peer Beres!brd ; the defeated candidate was Mr. Ferrall
(Liberal), on whose behalf a petition was presented by two
electors, named Dowd and Glynn.
The Committee declared this morning that Mr. Ferrall
ought to Lave been returned, as the rejected votes were good
ones ; but, as in the Waterford case, a special Report to the
IL.use will leave it open to the ejected Member to petition for
a scrutiny within the usual period.
By the decis;ons of these two Committees, the Whigs gain
three votes, and the Conservatives lose the same number.

s~OET=lu'~:.

The cricket match between the ilarylebone Club and the
University of Cambridge, which has excited so much interest,
was decided in Lord's Ground on Tuesday in favour of the Mary-
lebone players, by their winning the match in one innings, and
with forty-three runs to spare. The enclosure, both on Mon-
day and Tuesday, was crowded with Noblemen and Gentlemen
who seemed highly delighted with the game.
The Earl of Verulatn's thorough-bred stock ; Lord Maid-
stone's stud of '2O valuable hunters, well known in Leicester-
shire and Warwickshire; and the Duke of Grafton's stud of
30 hunters, were all sold at Tattersall's last Monday.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
STATE OF TRADE.—The unfavourable nature of the
commercial advices from India, coupled with the an-
nouncement of one or two failures here had a rather
depressing effect upon our market yesterday ; and
goods and yarn were both flat, though without any
change in prices. We are sorry to learn that the con-
dition of the working•cla§ses in the neighbourhood of
Burnley, and indeed generally throughout the districts in
which. hand loom weaving has been extensively carried
on, is becoming worse daily ; and the patience with
which their privations have hitherto been supported has
of late greatly diminished.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 6.—
The increased demand for flannels to-day has been
quite equal to that of last Monday, but there is yet no
improvement in the prices. The .principal purchasers
are the large manufacturers, who are buying under
the impression that wool has arrived at its lowest point.
The wool market remains tolerably steady ; and the
dealers are asking a small advance, but have generally
submitted to the old prices, except in coarse qualities,
which may be quoted a shade higher.
IiUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 7TH.—There iS some
difficulty in reporting the state of trade at this juncture,
as we are evidently on the eve of some change which
can scarcely be for the worse. In fact, appearances
are on the bright side ; but certainly, as yet, there is
nettling to warrant the beast of some newspapers of a
general revival. The season of the year, the splendid
weather, and years of terrific depression, must result
in a change for the better ; and unquestionably there
is a move, an inquiry, and a feeling of increasing con-
ed,liee, that indicate a gradual return to a healthful
state, if it IN not counteracted by stupid, suicidal legis-
lation. to fancy woollens a fair amount of business
~„,, done ; but tie; demand for waistcoatings and other
uncles was dull. There was also a tolerable in-

Never did the crops look, better in Dorsetshirc-
than they do now. The wheat is' Particularly fine and
strong ;so is the barley, and so the oats, The hay-grass Is
uncommonly thick, and a heavy swath may be confidently relied
on. The fruit-trees are loaded with fruit ; and we may,
therefore, with the continued blessing of Providence, look for-
ward to a plentiful harvest. We can say, from personal obser-
vation, that around Blandford, Alm", Corte Mullen, Win-
borne, and indeed the whole of Dorsctshire, the luxuriant ap-
pearance of the fields is such that they cannot fail to arrest the

POOR-LAW.

Captain I'ECIIELL presented a petition, agreed to at
a meeting at Seaford in Sussex, against the Continua-
tion of the new Poor-law fur five years, and praying fur
its repeal in England and Wales. The petition was
signed, on behalf of the meeting; by Mr. Brooker.
NOTICES OF MOTION—POOR-LAW.

Mr. R. YORKE gave notice that in the Committee on
the Poor-law, he would move that certain clauses be ex-
punged from the Bill, and others of them altered.
Mr. PARKER gave notice of his intention in Com-
mittee on the Customs Act, to move that the same duty
imposed on timber coming into this country from any
foreign part, should be imposed also on all timber coming
from the Isle of Man, and Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney,
and Sark.

Mr. SHIEL gave notice of his intention, on the 23d
of June, to move for certain papers relatire to the inter-
ference of France with the atlairs of Tunis.
SALMON FISHERIES BILL.

On the motion for the further consideration of the
Report of the Salmon Fisheries Bill,
i~lr. MACKENZIE moved that the further considera-
don of the Report should be taken into consideratiOn
that day three months. The powers of the Commis-
sioners were most extraordinary ; they could call wit
nesses before them, but they had no power to compel
their attendance. The exp,±nse of litigation would be
immense. A rich man could hang up a cause in the
Court of Se:sion for an indefinite length of time.
Mr. FOX MA ULE supported the Bill, and justified
the composition of the Board of Commissioners.
After observations from Mr. S. ELLIS, and Mr. CAMP-
BELL,

Captain GI /RD said he was not opposed to the Bill,
but to the mode in whica the lion. G.4ntleinan meant to
carry out his measure. He objected to the machinery
of the Bill. He thought it better tbatas the salmon fisheries
were in such a state of uncertainty, the Hun. Gentleman
should let the Bill go do n to the country, and whtn
the parties interested had time to consider it, let the
measure be brought on next session, lie certainly on
those grounds should oppose the Bill.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
House divided, when there appeared----

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

It seems as if this season would prove to the Italians, what
must often have been suspected, that their real strength lies in
the Opera Buffa. Already, we believe, the old opera of Le
Cantatriei Vi llani, bedizened out with a bit of Betty, had
proved their most successful revival, and 11 Barbiere di b'ivig-
ha, as produced on Tuesday night, promises to be a greater
favourite still. Lablache is such a tower of strength in
comic opera. True he is a great tragic artist, but it is in the comic,
where he is exuberant in his mirth, where he flings out all sorts
of odd conceits, that we feel he thoroughly enjoys himself,
and that he diffuses enjoyment all round. His son Frede, is
is not without humour; he threw much life and animation into
the Barbierc, his first spring on the stage was characteristic:;
his " Largo al factotum " trippingly sung, but his was not a
strong version of the part. Pk rsiani, with her sly reserve, is
a great actress in the Opera Buffa. She can coquet so well
with a glance—she can enjoy mischief so quietly. The audi-
ence were loud in their applause last night at her fine execu-
tion in " Una voee poco fa," and altogether her Rosina was a
triumph. Ronconi's Basilio was decidedly better played than
any part he has acted yet, and he is evidently a humorous co-
med►an, though an ungraceful tragedian. The opera went off
so as to satisfy the most sanguine expectations.

The House then went into Committee on the Bill, and

was ordered to be received on Friday next.
THE CUSTOMS ACT.

Mr. HUME wished to know whether it was the inter:-
awl of the Government to proceed with the tariff in the
absence of the Right Hon. Gentleman the First Lord of
the Treasury ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER saw no
reason for postponing the tariff; though the Right lion.
Gentlemen was not present.
Mr. HAWES thought it, was a very unusual thing to
proceed with a Government measure on a Wednesday
night, without any notice having been given to lion.
Members that such a course was to be adopted.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
his Right lion. Friend at the head of the Government,
had distinctly intimated that as he yielded precedence
yesterday to the Noble Lord, the Member for Dorset-.
shire (Lord Ashley), he should proceed with the tariff
to-day. He did not think, therefore, that it could be
said the House was taken by surprise.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
WATERFORD.

The Committee met yesterday at releven o'clock ; it
having been decided that the objection of the Returning
Officer to the certificates was invalid, and ought not to
have been made, and the Committee came to the reso-
lution, " That the names of the following persons which
had been improperly rejected by the Returning Officer,
ought to have been placed on the poll for Messrs. Barron
and Wyse;" then follow the names of the rejected votes ;
this decision gives 330 votes to Barron, and 329 to
Wyse, and consequently places the petitioners in the
majority.
Mr. CocxnunN said, what he now wished to do on the
part of the sitting Members, was to reduce the majority
in which the petitioners were placed by correcting the
poll.
Mr. AUSTIN stated that the poll, as amended by the
decision, now stood as follows :
Barron 532
Wyse 528
Christmas
Reade 216
The Learned Gentleman contended that as the allega-
tions of the petition were confined to the illegality of the
certificates and the return, the Committee was not com-
petent to go into a general scrutiny of the poll. He
quoted a great number of precedents in support of this
view of the case.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIIM, who appeared to be suffer-
ing from indisposition, replied; he contended that the
Committee sat to try the whole merits of the election, as
distinguished from the smaller question of the return.
Mr. AUSTIN replied and had not concluded at four
o'clock.

ATHLONE (BOROUGH).
The Committee appointed to try the petition against
the return for the borough of Athlone met yesterday at
ten o'clock. E. Divett, Esq. in the chair.
The petition is from John Dowd and Thomas Glynn,
electors of the borough, against the return of Captain G.
de la Poer Beresford; the unsuccessful candidate was Mr.
D. H. Farrell. The allegations of the petition are to
the same effect as in the Waterford case, namely—that
the words "houses and premises" were inserted in the
certificates, and that such votes were improperly rejected,
to the number of 93.
The Counsel for the sitting Member are Mr. Cock-
burn, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Smyley ; for the petitioners,
Sergeant Merewether and Mr. O'llamlyn.
The petition having been read,
Mr. COCKBURN took an objection, in limine, on the
ground that one of the petitioners (Mr. Dowd) having
withdrawn from it, and' voided his recognizances, the
petition was informal ; in fact there was no petition
before the Committee at all. He had announced his
intention not to prosecute the petition, both to the
Speaker and to the sitting Member.
Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER contended that this was
a question, not for the Committee, but for the House 01
Commons, to decide ; and the objection ought to have
been made when Mr. Dowd announced his intention to
withdraw from the prosecution.
The Committee decided that the Counsel for the peti-
tion should proceed with his case.
Mr. Sergeant MEREWETIIER then commenced his
opening argument, and was proceeding with it when the
Speaker was announced to be at prayers.

She is last from Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes, which she left 10th
May, leaving there the Tweed corvette, senior officer's ship,
Rover, 16, and steam-vessel Flamer. The Warspite, 52, was
expected there, to proceed thence to Antigua and Jamaica.
The Leeward Islands were much more healthy, and the crops
promised abundantly. The Admiral, Sir Charles Adam, was
gone to Honduras in the Illustrious, 72. The Hydra steamer
was to leate Jamaica for England about the end of July ; also
the Racer, 16. both to be paid off.

passage, having left Malta 20th April. Letters landed at Ply-
mouth state that the fleet under Sir Edward Owen was to sail
from Malta on the 20th May ; destination not known.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. D. P. Bouverie has struck his flag
