LYCEUM.

A new extravaganza, under the title of Whit-
tington and his Cat, was produced as the Easter piece,
last night, at the Lyceum, to a brilliant and crowded
audience. Whittington and his Cat is of the same
Hstamp as Aladdin, Valentine and Orson and the
Forty Thieves, which have lately been produced at
the Lyceum; and it bids fair to rival those witty and
successful spectacles which have hitherto been the
mainstay of the theatre under the present manage-
ment. The piece of last night is one continued
stream of wit, and the laughter which greeted it
never flagged for a moment. The various allusions
—and they were many,--to the prominent topics of
the day were eagerly caught up by the audience
and applauded to the echo. Mrs. Keeley
sustained the character of the hero of the
piece, and we need not say with what
spirit she invested it. Miss Fairbrother was as
charming as ever as the Princess, and with Mr. A.
Wigan received a large share of well-merited ap-
plause for the performance of the Cellarius Valse.
Two young ladies, Miss Villars and Miss Dawson,
made their first appearance last night, were well re-
ceived, and will, we are confident, prove great acqui-
sitions to the company. The spectacle was gorge-
ously put upon the stage, and it will, no doubt, run
through the season. During the recess the theatre
has been re-decorated, and it presents now a very
light and elegant appearance.

SADLER'S WELLS.

The even course of the highly talented directors of
this renovated and now classical theatre, Mrs. War-
ner and Mr. Phelps, proceeds, unruffled by joyous
bursts of holiday extravagance, and undiverted by the
wild sports of periodical pantomime, which come
timely and in their season to relieve the dulness, and
briefly raise the hopes of those once great houses, from
which the spirits of Shakspeare, Massinger, and
Otway have long since fled, to find at last a re-
cognised temple and fitting worshippers upon the
banks of the New River. It seemed a bold attempt
to restore Shakspeare to his genuine grandeur, and
to present the true play of King Richard the Third,
from the original text, upon the boards of Sadler's
Wells—real Shakspeare in the place of real water !
The success was as gre at as it was unexpected, and
as the talents and spirit of the managers deserved.
The performance was fully and carefully re-
viewed in The Sun, upon the first night
of the representation, and last night offers nothing
new for comment but the remarkable fact, that
Shakespeare's Richard the Third (and not even the
profane and popular version of Cibber), attracted,
upon Easter Monday, a full, elegant, and delighted
audience. There could scarcely be a greater tribute
to the "immortal bard," or a greater compliment
to the patrons and managers of this flourishing
theatre. Mrs. 'Warner, in the arduous and grandly
drawn character of Margaret, Phelps as Richard, xith
Marstcn, G. Bennet and J. Webster, sustained their
well-earned reputation and were rewarded with re-
peated and judicious applause. We have only to add
our hearty encouragement to the managers. "Go on
and prosper."

LAW Alen POLICE.

At Exeter, AfaTyiiayes was indicted for setting fire
to a dwelling-house, the property of John Pyke. The
prisoner, it appeared, was the servant of a person named
Lushbrooke, who rented the house in question. Pyke
refused to do some repairs, and Mrs. Lushbrooke told
the prisoner to set fire to the house, who immediately
obeyed her mistress's orders. She was found guilty.
Mr. Justice Erle, however, took time to consider what
sentence he should pass.
Samuel Haydon, indicted at the same assizes for the
wilful murder of his infant daughter, by administering to
her hartshorn, was acquitted, as it appeared that he had
given it medicinally, and not for the purpose of poi-
soning, . .

Mr. Justice Patteson, at Norwich, sentenced James
Williams and Samuel Wilson to fifteen years' transpor-
tation for highway robbery. In passing sentence, the
Learned Judge observed that he understood that Wilson
had been committed to gaol un various charges no less
than 34 times.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

"liie THIRD EDITION of THE SUN of last
(Monday) Evening contained
"Zhe Closing Prices of the Funds, British and Foreign,
and of the Share Market.
The Proceedings of the Conference of the Trades
Delegates.
The Spirit of the Public Journals.

Pre hart received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Poste
ogYce fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Gtficia
Prices of Shares in Railways, &c. dc.—The Betting at Tattersalrs on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Second or Evening Edition goes to press.
In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE

intelligence.
In those places where the evening nadir arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, dc. ay., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The

representations.

VICTORIA.

The performances at this theatre announced for the
Easter recess, commencing yesterday evening, exhi-
bited no less attraction than usual to the taste of the
audience, and their love of thrilling dramatic and
domestic incident. For some time past the adven-
tures of Margaret eatehpole, the Female Horse-
stealer, or, as she is more familiarly called, "the Suf-
folk girl," have been before the public in various ways.
If we mistake not, it was a gentleman residing in the
county who first presented the public with the par-
ticulars of her life ; and, perhaps, no tale of real life,
certainly none originating in a provincial town, ever
excited a deeper interest, or enjoyed a more extensive
circulation. Besides, however, the original publica-
tion of the tale, it has, as we have intimated, been
presented in various other shapes, though, of
course, a good deal condensed; and it would,
for this reason, be tedious and useless to
give any detailed account of the plot in noticing this
living representation of it on the appropriate boards of
the Victoria. It is well known that the heroine, for
such, we suppose, she must be called, notwithstand-
ing the horse-stealing affair, first signalised herself by
escaping from Ipswich gaol, and, on being re-taken,
her sentence was commuted to transportation for life;
the only way of accounting for the change being ap-
parently the astonishing behaviour of Margaret
in travelling to London on horseback. Arrived in
New South Wales, the conduct of Margaret and the
events that happen to her form a complete climax to
her adventures in England. She is carried into the
interior of the country by some of the coloured
natives ; two of the tribe fight for the possession of
the " white maid," and while they are doing so,
islargaret escapes. The denouement, whether in all
respects it corresponds to that of the real story we
forget, is at last satisfactory, as most of the ter-
minations of domestic plays. The principal
feature in it being a " free pardon of the
Suffolk Girl," and her union, after having
passed through so many vicissitudes, with it gentle-

and sheep's heads at Back-hill, Islington), and after-

a Icrand historical drama, adapted from
the novel of Sir Walter Scott, called The Knights of

racter of Richard Cceur 6e Lion was very well sus-
tained by Mr. Henry Howard; that of Philip of

Austria, by Mr. Henry. Berengeria, Queen of Eng-
land, was well represented by Mrs. G. Lee; and
Edith Plantagenet by Miss Richardson. As the

able share of applause. The house was exceedingly
full, even in the early part of the evening, and the
audience appeared much gratified at all that was pro-
vided for their amusement.

ROYAL STANDARD.

This popular eastern theatre was filled last evening,
and well do the spirited managers deserve this sup-
port. For their Easter attraction they brought forward
another version of the B lood Royal; or, the Crown Jewels.
This was followed by the Gaol Bird, and then came
the real attraction of the evening, bearing the start-
ling title of &fount Vesuvius, or the fiend of the
Volcano, and founded upon a tale which appeared some
years back in " Friendship's Offering." The scenery
was excellent, and the actors did all that was necessary
—pleased the audience. In furnishing this brief notice
of the entertainments of the evening, we must not
overlook the remarkable performances of llerr
Hengler on the tight rope, who performed several
daring and astonishing evolutions, which were loudly
applauded. A Miss Emma Short made her debut
on this occasion, in the character of Rachel Ryland,
in the Gaol Bird, and gave some promise of future
excellence.

A new extravaganza, under the title of Whit-

last night, at the Lyceum, to a brilliant and crowded
audience. Whittington and his Cat is of the same
stamp as Aladdin, Valentine and Orson and the
Forty Thieves, which have lately been produced at

successful spectacles which have hitherto been the
mainstay of the theatre under the present manage-
, ment. The piece of last night is one continued
stream of wit, and the laughter which greeted it
never flagged for a moment. The various allusions
—and they were many—to the prominent topics of

Wigan received a large share of well-merited ap-

Two young ladies, Miss Villars and Miss Dawson,
made their first appearance last night, were well re-

sitions to the company. The spectacle was gorge-
ously put upon the stage, and it will, no doubt, run
through the season. During the recess the theatre
has been re-decorated, and it presents now a very

SUGAR.--A further increase has taken place in the
demand for West India Sugar, the grocers have pur-
chased freely of all descriptions, paying prices fdl4
equal to those of this day week for brown and common
yellow, but Gd to Is above for good :aid fine kinds,
the Refiners have operated with more freedom, and
the rates given are fully equal to those pre-
viously quoted. On Wednesday the private
purchases amounted to 750, and on Thursday
to 400 hhds and tierces, the market was closed on Friday
on account of the holidays, and will remain so until
to-morrow. There is still a short supply of bright
yellow descriptions, but of all other sorts there is
a large stock. Brown West India Sugar is worth

SURREY THEATRE.

Easter has come o'er us again, and with it the
usual accompaniments of the spirited proprietress of
this theatre—a well set-out table ter the amusement
of the holiday folks. For the first course we had the
drama of Margaret Catchpole, founded on the late
work of the Rev. Mr. Cobbold ; for the second,
The Irish Tutor, with Miss Heron, the
Infant Power, as Doctor O'Toole. And, lastly,
a new and magnificent romance, founded on a tale in
Blackwood, and dramatised by Mr. T. Townshend,
entitled the Spirit Haunted, or the Moor Maiden and
the Demon Sprite of the Golden Spring. Of the first
piece little more need be said than this, that it is
founded on events of a most singular nature,
which took place about the year 1797.
Since the publication of Mr. Cobbold's work most,
if not all, our readers must be aware that the extra-
ordinary heroine of the piece was born of humble
parents, and underwent the most singular vicissitudes
that perhaps ever marked the career of woman. After
meeting with many strange adventures to obtain an
interview with her lover (a celebrated Captain of
smugglers of the last century), she stole a horse, on
which she rode to London in about eight hours; for
this she was tried and condemried to death at the
Bury Assizes, in the year 1797 ; was reprieved, broke
out of prison at Ipswich to join her lover; was re
taken, sentenced again to death, and her punishinent
changed to transportation for life. She retrieved her cha-
racter in Australia, where she distinguished herself in
many extraordinary adventures : obtained a free
pardon, married a wealthy settler, who left . her sole
mistress of an immense fortune; she had one son and
two daughters, who received the best education whiCh
England could afford, and returned to settle in their
native land, to close the eyes of their affectionate
parent, who died September 10th, 1841,-in the sixty
eighth year of her age, deeply lamented and revered by
all who knew her. The piece was eminently.
ef-
fective, and was announced for repetition every night
until further notice, in a house crowded to the
ceiling, amid much cheering. Of Miss Heron in

the Irish Tutor we cannot say too much.
She is certainly a very clever child, imitates the Irish
brogue excellently, and is a most excellent imitator
in miniature of Power. Her acting delighted all
parts of the house, and kept the gods in most excel-
lent humour. The last piece, The Spirit Haunted;
or, the Moor Maiden, has been got up at great
trouble and expense, and promises to repay
the spirited lessee with a golden harvest. The
scenery is excellent, the dresses in strict keeping with
the time in which the occurrences are represented to
have taken place, and the music reflects great credit
on Loden The piece was announced for repetition
amid great approbation.

Consul at Zanzibar.

A camp of 30,000 men is to assemble next summer in
the neighbourhood of Bordeaux. The Duke d'Aumale

view the troops, and some other members of the Royal
Family will be present to see the evolutions.
The spectators at the promenade of Longchamps on
Friday, says one of the Paris journals, were most numer-
ous, as the weather was mild and the sun at length made
his appearance ; but the equipages worth looking at
were very few, the new fashions by no means remark-
able, and the crowd would have had nothing to see had
not General Tom Thumb condescended to honour with
his tiny presence and proportionate vehicle the avenue
of the Champs-Elysées ; the hero of the day was es-
corted by a detachment of Horse Municipal Guards.
Mr. Walker and his confederates have appealed to

the cards in their hands.

obtained from the Spanish Government the concession
of a railroad between Cordova and Cadiz, by Seville, with
a branch to Merida, towards the frontier of Portugal.

VICTORIA.

The performances at this theatre announced for the
Easter recess, commencing yesterday evening, exhi-
bited no less attraction than usual to the taste of the
audience, and their love of thrilling dramatic and
domestic incident. For some time past the adven:
tures of Margaret Catchpole, the Female Horse-
stealer, or, as she is more familiarly called, "the Suf-
folk girl," have been before the public in various ways.
If we mistake not, it was a gentleman residing in the
county who first presented the public with the par-
ticulars of her life; and, perhaps, no tale of real life,
certainly none originating in a provincial town, ever
excited a deeper interest, or enjoyed a more extensive
circulation. Besides, however, the original publica-
tion of the tale, it has, as we have intimated, been
presented in various other shapes, though, of
course, a good deal condensed; ar;tl it would,
for this reason, be tedious and useless to
give any detailed account of the plot in noticing this
living representation of it on the appropriate boards of
the Victoria. It is well known that the heroine, for
such, we suppose, she must be called, notwithatedw
ing the horse-stealing affair, first signalisedboraelf by
escaping from Ipswich gaol, and, on being retaken,
her sentence was commuted to transportatite for life ;
the only way of accounting for the change heft ap.
parently the astonishing behaviour of Margaret
in travelling to London on horseback. Arrived in
New South Wales, the conduct of Margaret and the
events that happen to her form a complete climax to
her adventures in England. She is carried into the
interior of the country by some of the coloured
natives; two of the tribe fight for the possession of
the " white maid," and while they are doing en,

corresponds to that of the real story we

man named "John Barry," who is made particularly
happy by such a result. The character of Margaret
had all the advantage of Miss Vincent's acknow-
ledged powers in this department, while Miss E.
Torrey, first as Miss Betty Scrag (a dealer in tripe
and sheep's heads at Back-hill, Islington), and after-
wards as Mrs. Nim Vatkins, kept the audience in
great good-humour by her lively and whimsical per-
sonation of those characters. To all the other parts
similar praise may be awarded; and if interest on
the part of the audience be any criterion of success,
this piece bids fair for a considerable run. A burletta,
entitled Hercules, King of Clubs, was the second
course in the bill of fare for the evening. It is a
very smart and laughter-promoting little piece, as
was evinced by the manner in which it wai re-
ceived. The evening's entertainment concluded with
a grand historical drama, adapted from
the novel of Sir Walter Scott, called The Knights of
the Cross; or, the Dog and the Standard. The cha-
racter of Richard Coeur de Lion was very well sus-
tained by Mr. Henry Howard ; that of Philip of
France, by Mr. Hitchison ; and that of Leopold of
Austria, by Mr. Henry. Berengeria, Queen of Eng-
land, was well represented by Mrs. G. Lee; and
Edith Plantagenet by Miss Richardson. As the
Dog of the Standard" Elector" enjoyed a consider-
able share of applau3e. The house was exceedingly
full, even in the early part of the evening, and the
audience appeared much gratified at all that was pro-
vided for their amusement.

ROYAL STA,NDARD.
This popular eastern theatre was filed last evening,
and well do the spirited managers deserve this sup-
port. For their Easter attraction they brought forward
another version of theßlood Royal; or, the Crown Jewels.
This was followed by the Gaol Bird, and then came
the real attractien of the evening, bearing the start-
ling title of Mount Vesuvius, or the Fiend of the
Volcano, and founded upon a tale which appeared some
years back in " Friendship's Offering." The scenery
was excellent, and the actors did all that was necessary
—pleased the audience. In furnishing this brief notice
of the entertainments of the evening, we must not
overlook the remarkable performances of Herr
Hengler on the tight rope, who performed several
daring and astonishing evolutions, which were loudly
applauded. A Miss Emma Short made her debut
on this occasion, in the character of Rachel Ryland,
in the Gaol Bird, and gave some promise of future
excellence.

" We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma'ority of the me-

however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering Irom
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and

who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.
