Surrey.—This Theatre Re-Opened On Saturd...
the excellent singing of Miss E . Arden as Lucius in the burlesque . This favorite actress was in excellent voice , and gave several parodies set to popular arid pleasing airs in an admirable manner . Miss Clara St . Casse , again , worthily earned the loud and frequent applause ., of all "by her sweet voice and charming delivery of the airs entrusted to her . We regard her as an immense acquisition to our list of singing actresses , her quality ' as a vocalist beinjr superioreven to that of the MissKeeley , of wiiose debut at the Princess ' s so much was said last week bv ourselves and our contemporaries . Qn
Tuesday was produced here a " ballet-farce / ' called " Magic Toys . " Had the attempt at farce not been made , the ballet would have been , perhaps , more interesting . The accomplished young danseuse , Miss Lydia Thompson , who has been " starring" with great success on the Continent , and whom Mr . Chatterton lias been fortunate enough to secure , appeared in its course in several of her prettiest costumes and character dances : and such grace and fascination does she throw into her performances that , at the conclusion , she was summoned without any . dissentient voice to receive the thanks and mi'riteii applause of the company present .
H . VYM . viiKKT Thkatbe . —Mr . Walter Lacy , long known and admired as an actor of capacity and good taste , toik his benefit on Wednesday night , at the Hay-market , when he assumed the part of Benedick to the Beatrice of Miss Reynolds . The grentest perversity in either actor or spectator could hardly spoil the enjoyabllity of this delightful comedy , so with a genuine -playnrarket aiidience of wellinformed people bent on enjoying themselves , and a smoothly-working company numbering such stars
as Compton , Chirk , and Reynolds on the other side of the lamps , the reader rimy imagine there was no hitch on the occasion of the benefit . Mr . John V . Bridgman ' s capital farce , " TheRifle , and How to use it , " is increasing in popularity , part passu with rifle incorporation ; and the Leclercq family , if not interrupted by accident or ; design , will , it seems to us , carry on ' Hallowe ' en" till a pantomime or an Easter piece dislodges the piece violently from Mr . Buckstone's bills .
The Royal CrbmobKe Gardens , which have been opened in conformity with the advertisements , " every evening , wet or dry , " since Good Friday , have closed for the Avinter after a season which we are given to understand has been as prosperous as it has been lonir . As ignoring this delightful place of amusement is no longer hon gout , we may add that the varied amusements ( the Marionette theatricals especially and the horsemanship excepted ) have been excellent , and that decorum has never been publicly violated , except by t \ few aristocratic " gents " and their toadies . The Sunday promenades seem to have a special attraction for foreigners , who , as all men know , are hopelessly adrift in town on that day ; and we can speak -with approving confidence of the excellent table , d'hote , and the general attention of Mr . Simpson and his staff to all reasonable or justifiable wants and whims of the British public .
Postal Accommodation in . Liverpool . —For nearly three years a correspondence has been going on between the Liverpool corporation and the Government , as to the best site for a new post-office . ^ V eary of official delays , the council , at their meetijrfg yesterday , adopted a , definite resolution , to the effect that if the Government did not purchase certain land in Dale-street , the site considered most available , by December next , the corporation would proceed with the erect ion of public buildings for the transaction pf municipal business , and other purposes , tli © erection of such buildings having been postponed to suit the wishes of Government for two years . Should the authorities take the land it will be transferred to them at the cost to the corporation .
Adulteration of Cotton . —A deputation from the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association has waited upon the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool , and presented a memorial , requesting the chamber to use its utmost influence in the United States to remedy the evil complained of , The memorial stated that the adulteration oacurred in all gradations from 30 to 50 per cent . " of the weight of the bnlo , and that it tended to depreciate the cotton far more > han was proportionable to the mere weight of the oand , stonos , & e . The Manchester Guardian says ;— " The nefarious system of cotton has
adulteration , which has grown up in America , at length received the formal attention of those gentlemen , in this district who are directly interested in the trade . An influential meeting was held in thia city on Tuesday , when resolutions were passed strongly condemning the frauds practised by the United States planters , or thoir agents , and calling upon the trade to return the impure material , or , as had been successfully done some years ago by the firm with wliich Mr . IS . Ash worth is connected , adopt legal measures to recover damages for the loss which such practices must necessarily entail upon consumers . "

France. Paris Telegrams Of This Day (Fri...
FRANCE . Paris telegrams of this day ( Friday ) give us the following intelligence : The whole of the Mediterranean squadron has not put to sea , as stated . Several frigates only have sailed for the coast of Africa with 6 , 000 men . These troops will be landed at the port of Nemours , formerly Djemma Gazdoual , situated seven or eight ieagues distant from the frontiers of Morocco , and will reinforce the expeditionary corps which is to occupy the district of Ouchda . The Catholic clergy of Paris have arranged to give a grand banquet in honour of Monseignenr de Tulle , who preached in two churches on Sunday last in favour of upholding the rights of the Holy See . The reported arrival of Baron Brenier in Pari 9 is not correct , his excellency not having quitted Naples . Lord Cowley and Count Walewski are expected to arrive in Paris from Biarritz on Sunday * next . General Changarnier has fixed his residence at Chagny ( Saone et Loire ) .
Treaty Of Peace. Credible Information Ha...
TREATY OF PEACE . Credible information has reached a contemporary that a Treaty of Peace will be concluded between France and Austria on the 10 th or 12 th inst . It is believed that the two great Powers have agreed on the sum to be paid by Sardinia for Lombardy , as the share of that province in the Austrian National Debt ; The question relative to the Duchies is likely to be settled by the sword , for the reactionary party in Central Italy is daily gaining strength and courage . Many Parmese and Tuscan soldiers have recently crossed the frontiers into Austria ^ and it is very possible that they and the Modena troops will be formed into a corps , and placed at the disposal of one or other of the fugitive princes . It is " not probable that Austria will actively intervene in , order to bring about the restoration of the Dukes , but ' she will give them the benefit of her influence , which is still great . On the 1 st inst . the officers of the Modenese troops—which are now at Veronaprotested against the proceedings of the revolutionary government in the Duchy of Modena , but we have not learned that the demonstration has produced any impression on Farini , who governs the province in the name of Victor Emmanuel . The political agitation in Venetia increases , and even in Verona , the stronghold of the Austrians , the state of public feeling is execrable .
The German Question. The Following S A S...
THE GERMAN QUESTION . The following s a summary of the reply given by the Duke of Saxe Coburg to the note addressed to him by the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs , concerning the opinion lately expressed by him m regard to Federal Reform in Germany : —The Austrian Cabinet roust have misunderstood the words of the Duke , he having only expressed a desire for the union of Germany , which does not render necessary the exclusion of Austria from that union . The Duke , however , as a reigning sovereign , must make the reservation that he does not consider that an account of words spoken by him « <»«* ™ any one , and least of all to another Cabinet , ine Duke had always most seriously persisted in the support of Austria by Germany—that such a support had lately been rendered impossible by the » "P ; fections of the Federal Constitution , and by tne sudden conclusion of peace by Austria . A ' . wu *™ : expresses-a doubt that the Emperor of Austria , Jor whom * personally , he entertained the highest esteem , had any knowledge of the note that l \ * be . " " ? : dressed to him . He , therefore , insists that his ropiy should be submitted to the Emperor .
Close Or The Inquest At Stbpnky.—1!>O In...
Close or the Inquest at Stbpnky . —1 !> o inquiry into this mysterious case , in connexion with which the name of a clergyman has been seriously compromised , was closed this day ( Friday ) . Altera consultation of an hour and ten minutes , the Jury gave their verdict as follows : — " Thnt the ^ sam Philip Yorath , an illegitimate child of tender ago , in the charge of Elizabeth Yorath , his mother , and the Rev . James Bomvcll , did die of inanjt on , jWOiJ they find is due to one of two causes , either' « im " did not or could not ownllow food j and tlio saia jurors do further say the deceased was able * ° »* BI low and did swallow food , but whether sufficient to maintain life they are unable to ascertain > ana tno saia jurors do lastly say , from the evidence itap pears the conduct pf Elizabeth Yoruth , tho . liev . James Bonwell , and William Ayres , the undortaKor , is highly censurable . "
