VICTORIA.

The entertainments at this theatre last night were
of a varied character. Susan Hopley, or the Vicissi-
tudes of a Servant Girl, a domestic drama, in three
acts, occupied tht earlier part of the evening, and was
followed by an amusing burletta, under the title of
The Two Clarks. These over, we were introduced to
the " Regions of the Moon," and a very curious selec-
tion of the inhabitants ,of the " orbid maiden," in-
cluding those very odd personages, Nevermyndisnamia
(Mr. Howard), Sagittarius (Mr. C. Williams),
Curlytail (Mr. Wilton), Several Mooncalves ; and
of the fair sex Miss Luna (Miss Saddler),
Miss Cytherea (Miss Ring), Miss Cynthea (Miss
W. Edgar), and Miss Sparkleana (Miss. Brooks). The
scenery of the moon, judging from the specimens pro-
duced, will, we are certain, engage the attention of
our earthly tourists, when the knowledge of balloon-
ing becomes more perfect, if they are not deterred by
the "Income-tax," which we perceive torments the
poor inhabitants of fair Selene. The cause of all the
fantastic tricks that pass before us in this bright
region, is Billy Taylor (Mr. Gardner), who gives the
name to the pantomime, and who is in love with Molly
Fire (Miss Martin). The _Acne.. immediately
shifts from " heaven to earth," from the in-
terior of the moon to " Saint Giles," where the
spirits of Brandy, Whiskey, Rum, and Gin, are
worked by the potent spell of Jacobus Jarvey (Mr.
Paul), who also turns a roguish eye towards Molly
Fire. During this scene several songs are sung by
Miss Martin, in a sweet and agreeable style. The
third part of the opening introduces us to " the glad
waters of the dark blue sea," and our old Christmas
friends Harlequin and Columbine (Mr. Chappino and
Miss Edgar), and Clown and Pantaloon (Mr. Frank-
in and Mr. Morelli). These parts were very credit-
ably performed, as were also the three grotes-
ques, by Mr. Hulene, Mr. .Arnolph, and Mr. Temone.
On this water scene we are floated to an ancient city
on the borders of the British dominions, where a
fight takes place, in which the subjects of the Brother
of the Sun and Moon are soundly drubbed by the
men of Britain. A few other scenes succeed, and
the whole winds up with the " abode of the Lunar
Deities." The house was crowded to inconvenience,
and we could wish that there had been less uproar
and more decorum on the part of the audience.
London, England, 1842-12-27

advantage have now been refuted by the expe-
rience of several ages.
It is of great consequence not to make a mis-
take as to the mode in which improvement can
be effected. All classes are now agreed as to
the necessity of an extensive reformation, either
political, commercial, or moral—they differ only
as to which it shall be. Holidays and leisure,
which all desire, must grow from the circum-
stances of society, and from the general ease.
Days on which all persons should suspend their
labour, however suitable for a pastoral or an
agricultural people, would be wholly out of the
question in a nation intersected by railroads, and
sustained by commerce and manufactures. In our
society there must be plenty of means of leisure, for
great numbers of persons are supported in total
idleness, but unfortunately leisure-like property
is very unequally distributed. Holidays in
England must now be local and partial, and to
keep the great machine of combined production,
by which all can be easily supplied, perpetually
and uniformly in motion, there should be
always some at work, and some enjoying them-
selves. Play days in England must now depend
less on Church festivals than on establishing
relays of labourers. If Lord JOHN MANNERS
were to study the habits of the present genera-
tion more, and the canons less, we think his
good intentions would grow into some theory
more useful than a recommendation to increase
the number of Church festivals.

THE LEVANT MAIL,

(From the Malta Papers to the 15th inst.
lONIAN ISLANDS.
The news recently received from the lonian Islands
announce a fresh blow by the lonian Government,
' not less direct than usual, against the political liberty
of the citizens, but also against the dominant
Church of these States. It appears that the Executive
Government has, in opposition to the canons and laws
of the State, disapproved of the election of the Rev.
C. Tipaldo, nominated on the 24th of last October,
as the Bishop of Cephalonia, by the clergy of those
Islands, and substituted in his stead the Rev. Condo-
micalo, a candidate rejected by the clergy, notwith-
standing the leaning of the Government, who made
use of a thousand violences and illegalities to get him
elected.

The impression created in the minds of the lonian
people by such an attempt is very grievous. They
judge that their religion is in danger, and are momen-
tarily waiting to see the altar of their God overthrown.
ZANTE, DEC. B.—lt is reported, that on the night
of the 6th instant a final peace was concluded be-
tween the families of the Regent Count George Lo-
gotteti and the ex-Senator Dr. Demetrius Plessa. Dr.
Demetrius Frangopulo was the mediator. Should
this be true, the country ought to erect a monument
similar to that which the seventh Parliament decreed
in honour of Sir Howard Douglas. This pacification
will be of the utmost service to our country
Wretched country, in what a state are you placed.

HAYMARKE7'.

A revival of the old Olympic Christmas fairy
spectacle of Riquet with the Tuft, was the amusement
provided for the holiday visitors at this establishment.
Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews sustained their
original characters, and the piece was produced with
all its pristine splendour. The young folks, who at
this season of the year are the public, hail their old
friends "Riquet," " Jack the Giant Killer," " Cinde-
rella," " Valentine and Orson," " Puss in Boots," &c.
&c., with raptures of delight, arid "Riquet" was as
successful on his revival at the Haymarket as he was
on his first appearance at the Olympic. The house
was very well filled.

CONGRESS.

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DEC. 8.
On the re-assembling of the Senate on Tuesday
noon, a quorum was not present ; and as soon as the
fact was ascertained, an adjournment took place.
In the House notice was given by Mr. Johnston, of
Maryland, of his intention early to ask leave to bring
in a Bill for assumption of State debts bythe Govern-
ment.

Mr. Adams called up his resolution rescinding the
21st rule, which prohibits the reception of petitions
on the subject of slavery, and after some discussion
on questions of order, the resolution was laid over.

Mr. J. T. Mason announced the death of Mr. J. W.
Williams, of Maryland, and after adopting the usual
resolutions on such occasions, the House adjourned.

At half-past ten o'clock last evening, the Govern-
ment express arrived at the Post-office in this city,
with the President's message, which was delivered
yesterday after a quorum of the Senate appeared in
their places, and with which the express left Wash-
ington at 13 minutes past 1 P.M., performing the
whole distance in 9 hours 17 minutes.

SURREY.

The proprietors of this enterprising and successful
establishment, have for years been noted as excellent
caterers for the amusement of the public on this side
the water, at the merry season of Christmas, and the
present management 'determined not to be out-done
by their predecessors. Last evening produced two
entirely new pieces, one entitled Richard Savage, or
the Disowned, and the other that invariable accom-
painment to the amusement of Christmas, a panto-
mime. Of Richard Savage it is impossible for us to
say more than that it is a drama from the pen of Mr.
Whitehead, founded on his work of that name, pub-
lished in Bentley's Miscellany, in consequence of the
noise and confusion (a circumstance incident to
boxing nights), that existed during almost the whole
of its representation. It is, however, unnecessary to
enter into its plot, as the work has been so recently
before our readers, the main facts of which were em-
bodied in the drama, and the characters in which
were very well sustained, by Mrs. R. Honner, Mr.
W. Smith, Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. Hicks, Mrs. H.
Hughes, Mrs. H. Vining, and others. Of the panto-
mine we cannot say too much ' • it is excellent for its
scenery and its tricks • is called Harlequin Puck Elfin
Changeling, and the Enchanted Statue of the Crystal
Fountain, and its main incidents are founded on a
fanciful tradition in Shakspeares: "...Midsummer
Night's Dream," an elfin riddle in Spencer's " Faery
Queene," and Chaucer's " Canterbury Tales." Among
the scenery, we were much delighted with Oberon's
bower in the New Forest, the fairy palace of Titania,
and the Palace of Fountains. After the transforma-
tions of the different characters had taken place, and
the real fun of the pantomime had commenced, we
could not restrain a most hearty laugh at the scene of
the Land o' Cakes, and the excellent allusions made
therein to her Majesty's late visit to Scotland. Brun-
ning's Dioramic Annual, illustrative of the beauties of
our little isle, was painted with his usual talent. The
characters of Columbine, Harlequin, Clown, and Pan-
taloon, were admirably sustained by Miss Fairbrother,
Mr. Harvey, Mr. C. Montgomery, and Mr. Blanchard,
and the piece was announced for repetition amid uni-
versal applause, 11• om a house crowded to the ceiling.
We regret that the lateness of the hour at which the
pantomime concluded, nearly or.e o'clock, prevents us
from entering more minutely into the merits of the
performances at this establishment, but we can assure
our readers that they will be well repaid by a visit
to this popular place of amusement.

SADLER'S WELLS.

This theatre has long been celebrated for the spirit,
life, and humour, of its Christmas entertainments ; and
under its present manager, Mr. Greenwood, it has lost
nothing of its olden reputation. The performances
last night commenced with a drama entitled The
Lear of Private Life, and the farce of The Secret.
These pieces have been already repeatedly produced,
and now obtained little of the attention of the audi-
ence. It truth, the uproar was throughout as inces-
sant as usual on such occasions. The Pantomime,
however, was the great entertainment of the
evening. This piece was entitled Harlequin and
Good Kynge Arthur • or, the Enchanter Merlin
and the Queen of Faery Land. The plot was
an adaptation of the nursery tale of King Arthur.
The first scene opened with a view of " the
Dwarf's forge," in Merlin's cave, exhibiting the
elfs of the enchanter forging a brazen shield for the
King, who soon appears, accompanied by his knights.

MARKET NEWS.

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Last week the receipts of wheat from our own
coasts were on an average scale, and considering the
state of the atmosphere, of fair average quality. Fresh
up this morning scarcely any wheat came to hand
from Essex ; while, from all other quarters the sup-
plies, coastwise and by land carriage and samples,
were limited. Although this was a holiday market,
we had a fair attendance of both town and country
buyers, whoirrchased nearly the whole of the best
wheats of home growth readily, at fully the prices
noted on this day se'nnight, but in other kinds a
limited amount of business was passing at late rates.
We had a good supply of foreign wheat on offer, the
transactions in which were of a retail nature
at previous currencies. The imports continue scanty.
The returns of Barley have been large, but the actual
quantity on the stands was not to say great. The
best malting parcels realised full prices ; but distil-
lers' sorts were a shade easier. The Malt trade was
very inactive, yet we can notice no alteration what-
ever in the quotations. With English and Scotch
Oats we were well supplied ; but the arrivals from
Ireland were unimportant. This article moved off
slowly at last week's currencies. In Beans and Peas
next to nothing was doing. The sale of Flour was
dull, and the top price of the best town-made was
455. per 2801bs.

THE FORTUNES OF
HECTOR O'HALLORAN,
137 W. H. MAXWELL, Esq.
Author of " Stories of Waterloo," 't Wild Sports of the
West," &c.
" Faugh-a-ballagh."
This, our hero's motto, signifies, in our modern Saxon,
"Clear the way "-and so now we on this occasion, utter
the some slogan. Clear the way and be quick, good humour-
ists of Ireland, famed broguinears of the land of Pat; shut
your potatoe-traps, for the master is coming. Follow him who
list. Here comes he who was first in the field, as the true de-
picter of the fighting, rioting Irishman, in peace and war; and
we trust that Hector O'Halloran will not disgrace the parentage
of which he is born.
He is what he calls himself, a soldier of fortune, which in
general signifies, in the Hibernian fashion, a soldier of no for-
tune, and he wanders every where all over the world, that is to
say, in all parts of Ireland, Ulster, Leinster, Connaught, and
Munster, and the kingdom of Kerry; in Scotland, from John
O'Groat's to Gretna Green, where he travelled on business;
in England, from the tip of her tail at the Lizard to her snout
at Flamborough Head, from her well-washed foot at the Lie of
Wight to her most episcopal head in the palatinate of Durham;
in Spain, from San Sebastian to Cadiz ;—in short, in all the
lands where fame has flourished, or fun is flourishing,—where
jollity predominates, or vice decays,—where merriment draws
open the jaws with a laugh, or pathos draws down the eyelids
with a tear,—there shall you, gay reader or grave reader,
gentle reader or ungentle reader, find Hector O'Halloran,
shining forth, as large as lik, in what his oratorical country-
men would call all the magnificent resplendency of the meri-
dian luminary, gilding with its golden lustre the concave arch
of the celestial heavens.

Mr. LUCAS, Editor and Co-proprietor of the
" Tablet " Newspaper, begs to inform the Subscribers and
the public, that the paper which on Saturday last was pub-
lished under that title, was published without his consent and
conclrrence ; and he hereby gives notice to all whom it ma)
concern, that he is not, and will not, be responsible for any-
thing which it may contain. Iu consequence of a refusal on
the part of his co-proprietor to concur with him in any reason-
atle mode of conducting the paper, or to permit him even tem-
porarily to publish it in such a way as would not affect the
points in dispute between them, Mr. Lucas has been compelled
to treat the " Tablet " as no longer existing, and to bring out
a new paper on the same plan, and under the same editorial
management as the old one, and under the name of the " True
Tablet." A full explanation of the circumstances which have
rendered this step necessary, will be found in the first number
of the " True Tablet," which is published.

__DVERTISEAIENT.j--TO THE LADIES.
The results of inclement weather are frequently subver-
sive of comfort and attraction to ladies, by causing a
naturally delicate skin to become rough and red, and
frequently accompanied by chaps and chilblains. _ These
innovations are successfully opposed in their progress,
and thoroughly eradicated on their completion by the
use of that inestimable production, "Rowland's Kaly-
dor " which possesses the most radical and purifying
qualities for effectually excluding and resisting with a
rapid energy truly astonishing all disorders which dis-
organise the beauty of the countenance, and as increas-
ing the fairness and transparency of the skin exceeds all
competition.

LONDON "
TUESDAY MORNING. MARCII 1, 1842.

The Tory Journals and the landlords seem much
disposed to encourage the boisterous attacks of Mr.
FERRAND on the manufacturers. - They 'may not act
in alliance with the anti-capitaliSts, but they 'will
effectually serve their purpose. In 1837, and subse-
quently, the mill-owners„ and the demagogues were at
open enmity—they have never, yet been reconciled.
Mr. FERRAND is said to receive instructions from Mr.
OASTLER ; thus the encouragement he receives from
the landowners and the Tories may be considered a
branch of the general alliance between them and the
mob. It will tend to the same end. Should the mills
of the capitalists be injured or destroyed by such an
agency, will the roof tree of the lapdloyd's mansion be
more secure ?

A more vulnerable race of men does not exist, and

though bullying in Parliament, may not be retorted
on them, it ill becomes those who live in glass houses
to make it a pastime to throw stones. A brazen-
faced, large-lunged, impudent young man may yet
be found on the side of the manufacturers who will
rise in the. House of Commons and read anonymous
letters, charging some landlOW"Vith turning ti
poor out of their homes, and pulling their cot-
tages down about their ears. lie may pourtray aged
men and helpless infancy, perishing on the wide moor
or in the deep ditch, and ringit into the landlords'
ears, " Behold your work." He may astound • the
country by tracing an agricultural labourer from his
first rising at dawn to his retirement at dark, toiling
the whole of the intervening period amidst the morn-
ing frosts and the mid-day heat,. and creeping lime
exhalisted as the night-dew' begins' to fall. lie

DISTRESS IN THE COUNTRY.

TO .THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
SIR,—If you will give room fur a few lines from a suffer-
ing mechanic, I wish to say one word which has not yet been
said in answer to the oppressor's argument, when he tells us
that, by making corn cheaper, the farmers' men will be thrown
into the towns,•and thus lower our wages. I wish to say,
that we are not afraid of that. Starving as we are, they cann t
make it worse, and the sooner they come and join us in resist-
ance the better. But we know it is all humbug. Cheap food
would make it better for all parties, and food we must and
will have. Again, whit pretty cant and hypocrisy is it for
landlords to complain' of some of our masters working their
mills by night, -when their nialtsters, aid brewers, and brick-
makers work not only night and day, but SUtsnAY into the
bargain. Such nonsense and cold calcu talons oftentimes
rouses me to thoughts and intentions that almos frighten
myself. But God will judge us by the strength of our temp-
tations, and by the wrongs of our oppressors.—l am, yours,
Gloucester, Feb. 26,1842. Q. E.

THE FIREWORK EXPLOSION IN LAMBETH.—(This
Morning )—The clearing of the ruins still continues, but with
imminent danger to the workmen, as a vast number of unex-
ploded maroons are still in d iferent parts of the pt emises, which
a slight blow or pressure would ignite. The nose of the ex-
plosion, which was heard as far as Greenwich, was cawed by
the simultaneous bursting of various tire-work packages, which
in the course of another hour were to have been started by
the Southampton Railway to Portsmouth, to have been fired
in honour of her Alajesty s visit to that port yesterday.
The lion. Charles btuart Savile has just published
a new Romance of Persia and Koordistan, called " Karah Kap-
lan." This is the name of the most prominent character of the
tale, signifying "The Black Tiger." Oriental stories are cele
brated for the interesting complication of their plots, for the pic-
turesque grandeur of their scenery, for the hurry and' variety of
their action, which keeps the reader in a perpetual state of excite.
meet, and for the unwontel aspect which human beings in the
East and Eastern institutions present to European eyes. Though
in the most brilliant and wonderful details of this story the author
has adhered strictly to verisimilitude, his narrative possesses as
much of the charm of mystery as one of the talcs in the Arabian
Nights' Entertainments.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—The mino-

toe quick for them, as Sir Andrew found the Non-Intrusionist
Advocate already returned on the other side.
