QUEEN'S THEATRE.
This very elegant little house opened for the
winter season last night, having in the recess under-
gone extensive and very decided improvements. The
whole of the house has been thoroughly cleansed and
re-decorated, and a very handsome new drop scene,
painted by Mr. James, contribtites not a little to the
general improvement in the internal appearance of
the house. The performances commenced with a
new drama in two acts, by the author of
Susan Hopley, entitled The Lawless of London ;
or, the Sharper's Progress. We cannot enter
into the plot of the piece, which may almost
be guessed at from the title. Suffice it that it
is a clever, lively drama, founded on the ways
of life, and one for which we predict a long and suc-
cessful run. Mr. Parry played the part of Mr. Ikey
Paris, an old Jew Fence, to admiration. Reeve as
Samuel .Wentworth, Esq.; Moss, as Fred. Lambert ;
Manders, ,as Tom Gag, a reporter to the Viper; and
Miss Rogers, as Lucy Clare, enacted their respective
roles in a most truthful and admirable manner. Mr.
Parry was unanimously called for at the conclusion of
this piece, and announced it for repetition every night
till further notice. William Thomson and Paul of
Russia concluded the entertainments. The house was
crowded with an attentive audience.

RUSSIAN ILLIBERALITY.- -Count Strogonoff, Russian
Home Minister, lost his post last year fur resisting the
confiscation of the property of the Catholic Church.
Count Benkendurf nearly fell a victim to the same
obloquy. Count Nesselrode himself dared not ask the
pardon of a poor mother, who was imprisoned for com-
plaining that her chiklren were turn from her.to be
educated in the Greek religion. The intervention, of
the Empress herself was necessary to save the Princess
Voleftuusky, and obtain a commutation of her punishment
to exile.—Paris Univers,
THE SLIDING SCALE.—A failure is announced in
‘Hamburgh, owing to corn speculations, the house. of
Graham and Co in that city having suspended payments.
There have been bankruptcies in all the foreign cities
known. as export depots of. corn to this city. Nor has
the mischief been confined to the Sea-ports, but has re-
acted to the districts a here the counnodity is raised, and
,wide-spread mischief has been inflicted on foreigners, as
well • as 'on-our people, by the poisonous action of the
sliding settle.
