Easter Monday fortterly commenced the Feast of
Easter, styled for pre-eminence the Queen of Feasts,
which was anciently solemnised for 50 days insuccession.
Two Wapiti deer, purchased abroad for her Majesty,
and which have just arrived in England from their native
soil, are now at Cranbourne' and will in course of time
be set at large in the Great Park. One of the Zebus,
or Indian Buffalo cows, of her Majesty, has lately brought
forth a fine calf.

The late Sir William M'lsTaghten was created a Ba-
ronet, in 1839, on account of his eminent Indian ser-
vices. lie had been nominated provisionally a member
of Council of the Supreme Government, and afterwards
appointed to the Government of Bombay ; but he never
arrived at that Presidency.

JOHN NEWTON.—" I "see in this world," said
John Newton, "two heaps of human happiness and
misery ; now if I can take but the smallest bit from
one heap, and add to the other, I carry a point. If as
I go home, a child has dropped a halfpenny, and if by
giving it another I can wipe away its tears, I feel that I
have done something. I should be glad indeed to do
greater things, but I will not neglect this."
POVERTY AND RELIGION.—There was a larger
C)llection in a dissenting chapel at Nantyglo iron-works
Sunday se'nnight, than ever was known on a similar
occasion, and yet trade was never in a more depressed
state there than at present ; it is also a remarkable fact
that more money has been collected to build chapels
about the Welsh iron-works, when trade was dull there,
than when it was brisk and wages were at the highest
rate.—Cambrian.

STRAND.

This favourite little house opened last night for the
season, under the management of Mr. H. Hall.
_ .

Since the house has been closed, it has passed through
the hands of the artistes, and though the decorations at
present are by no means gaudy, or even handsome, yet
everything is perfect, clean, and comfortable.
The entertainments commenced by an address, which
was said and sung by Mr. H. Hall, the manager, and the
whole of the company ; amongst those who were put
prominently forward, and who sang an address, were
Miss Collett, who is a very sweet singer, lately from the
Victoria ; Miss Yarnold who also sang very nicely, and
our old friend Miss Ellen Daly, whose address was given
in her own style, and was much cheered. We subjoin
it :

"I am at home ouce more,
This my native place is ;
All my cares are o'er
Bless your happy faces.
Soon the fiddlers will
Make you trip it gaily,
I'll strive to please you every night,
As sure as my name's Daly."
The address concluded with the national anthem, which
was very tolerably sung, the audience standing, and fre-
quently expressing approbabation by clapping of hands.
The performances commenced with a burletta, in two
acts, written by Mark :Lemon, entitled Robert Burns.
The piece is founded on an incident in the Scotch poet's
fortune, which it was said induced him to form the idea
of going to the Indies to better that fortune which
thrived so ill at home, and which called forth from his
inspired pen the beautiful and well-known lines com-
meneing—____.

Will ye go to the Indies, my Mary ?"
There is no plot in the. piece worth detailing, and we
are sorry that we can say little in its praise. There is
not the slightest interest raised in the whole piece, for
every one sees what is going to happen. Some
of the language is good, and whenever quotations
are made from the works of the admirable bard, they are
happily introchiced, and drew down considerable applause.
Mr. 11. Hall played the part of a Scottish Bard with
good taste and discernment, and was frequently ap-
plauded. Mr. A. Younge, as Davie Campbell ; Mr. Ro-
mer as Souter Johnny ; Attwood as Tom Coper ; and
Mr. J. W. Collier (from Sadler's Wells) as William
Suckling, acted their several parts with judgment and
taste. Miss Ellen Daly played the part of Highland
Mary very sweetly ; and, together with Miss Collett,
who sang two or three Scotch airs with much feeling and
taste was deservedly and frequently cheered. On the

LONDON:
TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 29, 1842.

It appears by Lord STANLEY'S speech on Tues-
day last, and by the complaints of the Tory
journals, that notwithstanding the enormous dis-
criminating duty levied on foreign sugar in order
to benefit the West India planters, they are fast
going to ruin. Taking for the sake of clearness
the average annual amount of sugar imported
from the West Indies at 3,000,000 cwts. for some
years past, and the differential duty which
is 395., at 405.; the people of England
have annually paid about 6,000,0001. for the
benefit of the West 'lndia Planters. 'We do
not overestimate the amount, because there are
other articles which are subject to a differential
duty,. in favour of the West Indian planter, as
well as sugar, and which, in fitct, make the
amountlevied on the people of the united empire
for the advantage of the planters upwards of
6,000,0001. per annum. Now, it is confessed by
Lord STANLEY and the Tories who persevere in
maintaining this unjust system of plunder by
means of taxation, that the planters, for whose
benefit it was especially intended, are fast going
to ruin. The suffering people of England,
therefore, have not the poor consolation of know-
ing that, at least, the parties for whom they are
plundered by law are thriving and prosperous.
But besides these 6,000,000/. peryear, the people
gave the planters the largest part of 20,000,0001.
betwixt eight and nine years ago, and still, as
Lord, STANLEY says, the planters have suffered a
serious diminution of their income. Whether
the_Noble.Lord includes in his calculation the
terest they may still receive, on their share of
that sum, as they vested it in the funds, or pur.
chased land with it elsewhere thanin_the Colonies,

WEYMOUTH.

The Committee met again yesterday morning at
twelve, having adjourned since Thursday.
The petitioners are still in a majority of two.
The vote of John Ploughman was objected to by C ounsel
for the sitting Members, on the ground of personation.
The proceedings were resumed yesterday before the
Committee.

John Ploughman, a voter for the petitioners was ob-
jected to on the ground of having peronated another
John Ploughman, a saddler. A great deal of
evidence was .even to maintain this point. In
the course of the testimony Mr. Vincent, late
joint overseer, acknowledged that there had been. a heavy
default in the accounts of him, Mr. Voss, and another
colleague. Each threw the blame of appropriation on
the other, but they all had to indemnify the parish in
goodi or money. But witness was convinced that Mr.
Voss was the peren who took the money • and when
Mr. Voss had alleged that witness had pocketed some
of the missing rates as well as another, Mr. Vin-
cent pitched into Mr. Voss with such energy, that he
was soon compelled to run away.—(Laughter.) Another
witness proved that Ploughman admitted that he had no
right to vote, but that after he had done so, he said it
was a mere election trick. Mr. Pitmann, amongst
others, swore he heard Ploughman say this a fortnight
after the election at the Black Dog.
It appeared the two Ploughmans rushed to the bar
of the booth together, each crying out that he alone
was the Ploughman entitled to vote, but the latter suc-
ceeded in persuading the Deputy that he was
the right man. Therefore John Ploughman, the
baker, was recorded for the sitting members,
and Mr. Ploughman, the saddler, could only ten-
der his vote for Villiers and Hope. There were
great bustle, uproar, and pressure in and about
the booth at the time. The usual three questions
were put to Ploughman before his vote was taken for
Burnal and Christie. The testimony of Mr. Thomas, the
returning officer, went directly contrary to most of the
foregoing. He who swore he was not a party man, said,
that Ploughman, the saddler, never tendered his
vote, nor any one for him ; but that the other Ploughman
under tionsideration,, who is a baker, voted out of a good
house in Mary-street. He did not even see Ploughman,
the saddler, at the booth. Some other contradictory evi-
dence was given, and the Committee adjourned at Five
o'clock.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Though of opposite politics to you, I am
induced (front observing occasionally, perhaps
more so of late, a spirit of candour and fairness
pervading your columns) to trouble you on a
question of vital importance to this country.
Now do not throw away this when I say it is
the Church question.
I am neither Minister, Elder, or Deacon, but
one of the many interested deeply in the present
struggle.

I write you in consequence of your rather se-
vere remarks upon the clergy of Our Church.
You seem to think them the cause of the pre-
, sent dissensions, and that arising from a spi-
rit of vain distinction among themselves. These
aro nearly your words, at all events your meaning.
' Now, permit me to say, that the clergy you
so much blame, would be very powerless unless
strongly backed by the quiet, solid, thinking
multitude. And let the boon—which must in
the end be conceded—the abolition of patronage,
be granted to-morrow, then you silence the
clergy effectually.
Your vocation is to advocate the cause of the
people. Why do you depart from your prin-
ciples in this important matter? The clergy re-
fused Lord Aberdeen's Bill, because, in place of
giving the power of electing the clergyman to
the people, as the clergy are now at this
time, and as they have all along been so honestly
contending for, it proposed to jest' that power
in the Church. Is this like priest-riding ? You
should know from past history that the Church
of Scotland is essentially Republican in its con-
stitution, and has not been lagging, when the
people's political, as well as ecclesiastical, rights
were in jeopardy, in former days. How you
quarrel with her now, I do not know. The
right spirit, after a long withering slumber
during the moderate ascendancy, is now shining
forth; and I submit, Mr. Editor, that you
should inquire and see if you are not wrong in
crying it down in place of defending it.
Yours obediently,
A CONSTANT READER.

THE LONDON GENERAL MOURNING
WAREHOUSE, established for the sale of every article
requisite for Court, Family, or Complimentary Mourning,
Nos. 247, and 249, Regent-street, near the Circus, Oxford-
street, W. C. JAY and CO., proprietors.—The managers of
the above establishment beg leave to call the attention of
ladies to its peculiar utility, and to the advantages presented
by their undertaking. It has ever been a source of inconve-
nience and regret, on occasions when mourning attire is re-
quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been com-
pelled to the harassing necessity of proceeding from shop to
shop in search of each distinct article of dress. This evil is
now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn-
ing Warehouse, where every description of mourning, milli -
nery, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawls, &c., of the best qua-
lity, can be purchased at the most reasonable prices, and every
article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be
procured at a moment's notice. The millinery rooms contain
an assortment of mourning bonnets, caps, and head-dresses,
with a well-selected variety of skirts for first and following
mourning. The dressmaking is superintended by an expe-
rienced artiste.
Country orders executed with the strictest punctuality.

SMYRNA.

The Smyrna journals, which we have received by this
express are of the 9th inst. The only intelligence of
interest is the following :
A Greek Captain, named Constantine Vroulo, having
lately received on board his vessel a rich cargo intended
for Marseilles, proceeded to Ipsara, where he disposed of
it on his own account. The Consuls of France and.
Greece at Smyrna, to whom the fact was announced, im-
mediptely applied for redress to Admiral Lasusse, who
placed at their disposal the steamer Acheron, with a suf-
ficient force to enable them to arrest the Captain, who
was still at Ipsara. The Vice-Consul of Greece, Chia-
rids, embarked on board her, and proceeded first to Chio
to obtain a firman from the Paella, for the apprehension
of the offender, which he not only granted, but sent
four of his officers to affect his arrest. Shortly after-
wards the Acheron presented itself before Ipsara. A
summons to deliver up Constantine Vroulo was ad-
dressed to the inhabitants, who obstinately refused to
comply with the demand. Captain Cottu then found it

necessary to have recourse to force. He commenced by
setting fire to several boats, which had no doubt been
often employed in piratical cruises, and afterwards fired
.two rounds of grape shot against the town, which he
threatened with bombardment if the culprit were not
.
instantly given up. The Ipsanots, desirous to avert
that extremity, entered into terms with the French
captain, and Constantine Vroule, who had retired into
the mountains, was arrested, with his accomplice, Jean
Cassetti, and three of his crew. The five prisoners were
removed on board the Acheron, conveyed to Smyrna,
and thence to Syra, where they were to be tried.
Admiral Lassusse, on hearing that Captain Cottu had
been under the necessity of recurring to force, sent' to
his assistance the Otlypsof frigate, the schooner Dili-
gente, and the brig La Fleche. Those vessels reached
after the surrender of the pirates, and the two latter re-
turned to Smyrna with the Acheron, leaving the Calypso
at Ipsara, whence she sailed on the sth instant, with
three other seamen of the Greek vessel, who were cap-
tured after the departure of the Acheron.
The Smyrna Journals from which we extract
these facts, call on the Government of the Porte
' to expel from Ipsara the banditti who have sought
refuge therein, and infest the trade of all nations.
" Piracy," says the Echo dOrtent, "is organized
there, and the population of the island lives only by ra-
pine. The convents of monks serve as the receptacles
of stolen goods, and, if this required cotroboration, we
need only state that there has been for many years among
the inmates of those monasteries a monk who remained,
during sixteen months, in irons on board the French
frigate Armide, as guilty of a number of acts of piracy."
Rear-Admiral Lasusse had received orders to send
back to France fottr sail of the line, which were to leave
in eight or ten &Yrs. The Didon frigate had sailed for
Toulon, where she arrived on the 25th instant.

GREECE.

PATRAS, MARCH 9.—The only news which I have to
communicate to you is that Government, being informed
that some thousand Turkish troops were gathering
about the frontiers of both countries, felt very inquiet
lest those troops should enter as enemies into Greece. It
has, therefore, ordered about four thousand troops to
proceed to the frontier, as well as six small cannon and
ammunition. The Phalangites (veteran soldiers) hare
also been ordered to go thither for reinforcement, and in
short every-thing is in a bustle in Greece ; and it is posi-
tively reported, that the number of all the Greek troops
now gathering about the frontier, will amount to about
10,000 men.

It seems, however, that the Turkish troops so gather-
ing are destined for Syria, and that for this purpose the
Turkish authorities in Thessaly have chartered some
vessels for carrying them over to Asia.
The business of the Bank has already began, but they
proceed very. slowly, in consequence of the too many
difficulties which the law has put in the way of those
who wish to apply to it for a loan. Everything is quiet
in Greece.

As some men were lately blasting a rock at Ca-
vaillon, near Avignon, in the Vaucluse, they came upon
an ancient tomb, supposed to be Roman, containing se-
veral cinerary urns, and about 200 silver coins, of small
diameter, bearing on one face a human figure, purely de-
signed and clearly struck, and on the other two lines
crossing each other at right angles, and above the initials
NI A. One of the urns and part of the coins have been
deposited in the museum at Avignon.

During the recess the interior of this theatre has un-
dergone considerable repair. in its decorations, which,
while they continue to be extremely rich have lost
nothing in elegance and effect. The sides are beau-
tifully ornamented with • gilt checkered work on a buff
ground on which various emblems and devices in rich
broiderings are placed. The colouring is neat and taste-
ful, chastely decorated with golden ornaments. The
prosceiiiuni is supported by four pillars, two on either
side, fluted, and richly gilt, while the boxes between are
gorgeously embellished with fancy work and mouldings
in gold of the rarest description ; .and spanning the
proscenium extends a curtain corresponding in colour
with the rest of the theatre, relieved by rich crimson
draperies with the Royal arms inwrought. On the

SAL LER'S WELLS.

The performances. la this theatre were, as usual, of
the most spirited kind, and calculated to attract an
overflowing audience 'during the holidays. The opening
piece, a new romanti o drama, entitled Christine ; or,
the Poisoners of Para •, met with a most favourable re-
ception. The plot wths much too complicated to admit.,
though its interest would justify a minute description.
It was founded upon the system of poisoning, which
existed to such a fearful extent on the Continent during
the seventeenth century. Catherine, the fortune=teller
of Paris, was, in the play, the principal instrument in
the diabolical practice, and it was the connexion be-
tween her and a gambler named Raoul de Beauvillars,
upon which the denouement was made to turn. The cha-
racter of the fortuno..teller was admirably sustained by
Mrs. A. Marston, acqd that of the gambler by Mr.
Lyon, formerly of the Adelphi, who proved himself a
great accession to ;he corps dramatique of Sadler's
Wells. Mrs. Honner and Miss Richardson fully sus-
tained their former reyutation, no slight praise when ap-
plied to actors of such reputation. The plot was one of
deep, and, towards the close, intense interest. It will
repay a visit. When the curtain dropped loud calls
were made for Mr. I.4yons, who, in answering the call,
announced its repetition every night until further no-
tice. ThiS piece was followed by a new and lively farce,
called A Regiment of Tartars ; or, the Pretty Girls of
Salberg, and the p Tformances concluded with the
drama of Ambroes Gicinnett. The house was well filled.

SURREY.

The Easter attraction' theatre is a grand
equestrian and dramatic spectacle, entitled The Pearl of
the Harem, founded on the story called the "Khan's
Tale," in Frazer's well-written volume of Eastern fiction,
the " Tales of the Caravanserai," The incidents of the
tale are pretty closely followed in the drama, which is
put together with considerable skill, and presents many
points of admirable gage effect. The material of the
piece is the love of Leilah, the " Pearl of the Harem "
(Mrs. H. Vining), and Reza Koolee (Mr. H. Hughes)
which is crossed by the enmity subsisting between the
tribes to which the " Pearl " and her lover respectively
belong, and still further complicated by the arts
of a rival ; all obstacles, however, are overcome
by the bravery and address of the young lover
who at once guns his bride and his rightful inheritance.

ELECTIONEERING.

Mr. Summers Harford has come forward, as the Libe
ral candidate for Brighton.
NAVAL AND MILITARY.
_ _

Her Majesty's ship Queen was constructed by Sir W.
Symonds. At the time she was commissioned for the
Mediterranean, she was intended to draW a certain depth
of water, which, it is said, she has since much exceeded,
and must have hagged or dropped at the extremities at
least 10 inches.
LAW AND POLICE.
An action was tried at the Hereford Assizes last
week, brought by the plaintiff, a widow lady of the name
of Harris, against 1)1.. Illeeck Lye, • a physician at
Hereford, to recover the sum of 300/., advanced about
four years since to the defendant, for the purpose of pro-
curing an outfit for his son. Subsequent bankruptcy on
the part of the Doctor was his plea for not repaying it.
A verdict was found for the plaintiff; with 71. Ws. da-
mages, the amount of half-a-yerr's interest, thereby
denying the ability of the defendant to pay the principal.
Richard Hart, indicted as Richard Jones, was tried
at the Cambridge Assizes, on Saturday, with having
gives the sums of 101. and 1/. to one William Large, as
a bribe for him to vote for Lord Cosmo Russell and Mr.
Foster, the Whig candidates for that town, at the last
election, and found by the Jury guilty.
