Easter Monday At The Theatres, &C. - Eas...
EASTER MONDAY AT THE THEATRES , & c . - Easter Monday without Greenwich Fair ! Easter Monday with very few new show-pieces at the Theatres ! Easter Monday -with the last s-wirl of a General Election ebbing over the land ! Such were the phenomena of the first day of this present week . Aa to Easter Monday with rain and cold wind , that was quite in the ordinary coarse . However , as there were no out-door amusements , the weather was little matter . At Drurtt Lane , Mr . Dillon " starred , " and a junction was effected between Conrad and Medora and Mr . E . T . Smith's Christmas Harlequinade . The Haymabkbt produced a brilliant burlesque called . Hippomenes and Atalanta , written by Mr . Taxfourd , and pleasantly acted by Miss Mary Oliver , Miss Wilto . y , Miss Ternan , and Mr . Compton . The Princess ' s went on with the far more than Easter splendours of Jiichccrd IT . ; and the Adelphi fell back on Madame Celeste and The Elves . At Sadler's Wells , a temporary Spring season brings forth the American Howard family in The Episode of Eva , and MissWooLGAR
in the admirable piece of The Good-for-Nothiny , succeeded by Blanche's F / T " witk tke Golden Locks . The Strand performances were marked with rnT awkward failure , the performers not being ' up' in their parts and the aa finally rating them in good set terms , and indignantly ringing down the curf ™' ™ 1 ** flavorous melodrama from the Fren-cb , called The Iron Arm or ih ?\ i ^ Marriage , stimulated the palates of the Surrey audience ; and a still more vt ^ spiced dish was set before tie ladies and . gentlemen who patronise the Tir ™ s y the shape of Dark Shadows and Sunshine of Life , or tke Wild «/ ' . ia Astley's produced The French in [ Algiers , or the Battle of Constantine—h Z ^ the new campaign against the Kabyles;—and the various " Saloons" were w * *! ° out their attractions . not Wltli-The several Exhibitions were well attended during the day ; and Exeter W at night , gave "A Grand Yerdi Festival , " at which a large attendance of » , lovers showed that the critics have not been able to cry down the composer
A French Mdbder.—As Some Persons Were Pr...
A French Mdbder . —As some persons were proceeding along the road which leads from Auxerre to"Vermanton , they were astonished to find , at about three miles from ' the former place , the mail cart which plies between the two towns standing in the middle of the road , with the driver lying dead near it , and the letterbags extracted . The man had been shot through , the head , and the crime had evidently been committed as he was driving along the road . The man ' s gold watch , chain , and purse were found on h . im ; so tliat it appears , either that the sole object of the murderer was to steal the letter-bags , or that , having taken alarm at something , he had not time to rifle tlie man ' s pockets . As yet , no clue has been discovered , to the murderer . The affair has created a great sensation in the department of the Yonne .
What does it Mean?— "In the absence of any great piece of news , " says a Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels , "I send you a little one . The proprietor of a reading room , in Paris , has received a singular order . He has "been requested to send to a "Vienna journal all the articles most hostile to the policy of Russia , which appeared in th . e French journals of 1853 , 1854 , and 1855 . Is this a matter of mere curiosity—is it a fancy of a collector—or is it a preparation for an approaching polemic in the Austrian press , which it is desired to support by arms taken from a foreign arsenal ? "
Heroic Conduct . — -About half past one o ' clock on Monday morning , the' schooner Isabella was making for Sunderlartd harbour , the wind blowing a gale from the east . The tempest drove her behind the south pier , the waves dashed over her masts , and the crew were in imminent peril of destruction . The Wear Commissioners ' men were at land with the rocket lines . The Stormy Petrel , Mr . Joseph Hodshon , ever present in the hour of danger ,-was also there , nnd slipping off his clothe ? , volunteered to carry a line on board , two hundred and fifty yards distant , and performed the daring feat , and all hands were " cradled" on shore in the rocket-chair . — Gateshead Observer .
A Sad Case . — -On Saturday ( says the Somerset County Gazette ) , a young man named Kendell , who formerly held a very respectable position in society as a miller , near Castle Cary , wa 3 placed at the bar of the Assize Court , charged with setting fire to his own premises . Hia father and mother had come to Taunton to hear their son ' s fate , and had taken apartments at Mr . Bult ' s , "Waggon aud Horses Inn , East Reach . Whilst in town , the old gentleman was suddenly seized with illness , and Mr . Bult called in Mr . Cordwent . On Saturday lie ¦ was unable to go to the hall , and the broken-hearted mother went alone . Whilst tlio trial was proceeding , a messenger was sent to the hall lo inform Mrs . Rendell that her husband had breathed his last . The son was
transported for fourteen years ; and the two sad events have completely prostrated tlie poor -woman . The deceased was a retired half-pay officer in the navy , lately residing at Rampisham . Moral Effect of Fire-Arms . —Beecher gives an amusing account of the efi ' ect of fire-arms on the aborigines of Terra del Fuego . They could not be made to understand Jiow that , standing a long way off , they should hear a noise , nnd seo a little smoke , and then that they should be mortally wounded . It was to them quite incomprehensible , and they therefore felt no alarm at the sight of a musket . liut when once they became convinced of the danger , their terror was proportionate . This feeling was curiously exemplified , in the total demoralisation of all armies , from the middle of the sixteenth century till near the end of the seventeenth . The Swiss
complained that it was not their nature to stand patiently under the firo of artillery , but to march straight onwards ! And Montluc ' a soldiers would sny to him , u Let us engage , sir ; it is liettcr to die sword in hand than to bo killed by artillery ;"—that stromento cViirferuo , as the Italians called it . This nervousness incronscd still more when they saw their ablest knights , such as a Bayard , a Guise , and a Sydney , fall by the deadly bullet . Tacticians wrote elaborate treatises on form ing " squares and stars , of pikomon nnd auniebusicra : but human nature was too strong , and there arose that disorderly svbtcm of skirmishing , when each man looked but after his own safety . which ho thought must Ho in ltia own carbine and potronol . Field artillery , as the select portion of the army which was to support infantry , and bo supported by H , became neglected , and each man loaded himself with quick match and powder-flasks—a system
of warfare well described by Warburton , in his " History of Prince Rupert , " as " limited to the wasting of gunpowder , and in making a noise . " It required a Gustavus Adolphus and a Cromwell to overcome this lax state of discipline , and once more to teach the soldier , how to face death in the ranks ; but then the one with his Lutheran Swedes , the other with his psalm-singing Ironsides , had a wonderful material to -work upon ; for even at the present day the Southern gets impatient at being kept any length of time under fire . The dislike of the Tudors to . 'fire-arms , which has induced many to
suppose that the bow was still then the favourite weapon of the conquerors of Agincourt , arose from as paltry a feeling as ever disgraced a crowned head . Henry VII objected to the crossbow , because much damage had been done by it to the king ' s deer . Henry "VIII . would allow no one to possess a handgun , unless lie also possessed 100 ? . a year , and then -was stock and barrel together to be no more than twenty-seven inches long . Edward VI . considered that " Hayle shot" was pernicious , owing to " much fowl and game having been destroyed . "— Westminster Review . : ¦ . ¦¦ :

¦ ¦ .-. ¦ . ¦ ¦ . ¦ ? , , London , Friday Evening , jlpril 17 , i 857 The impovfc of gold from tlie ^ Australian colonies has been so extensive , that it has arrested the downward tendenevnf the funds and share market . At one time ife wasb ^ l P « i that the Bank would raise the rate to 7 per cent in 2 to effectually damp the efforts of those capitalists- wh ? w endeavouring to flood the market with Russian railwav stock ; but it may be assumed that so great is tho nrewiiro for money , even for temporary purposes , that a ' very smill amount will bo taken up . in this country . TJie fortnight v settlement of the share account has added to the nressiro for money just now , but tlie diirerence in rates given davbv day m the Stock Exchange is very great . Revenand ahalf per cent , vas given on one day , live and a half the next so soon as tlie requirement is urgent and offers liberal the large Hebrew-capitalists pour in large sums for loans on stock . The foreign stock market has been h « avy throughout the \ yeek . Turkish Six per Cent , stock stands its ground better than has been its wont on the eve of a . dividend and the fluctuations in this stock are becoming less Violent . '
Railway shares are about the same , having recovered a temporary depression ; but the market does not look healthy . Absence of business is the characteristic complaint . . Great West of Canada shares arc hardly so firm . Grand Trunk oi Canada are about £ per cent , lugher . Eastern Counties are likewise firm . The belief is that the expenses arc being reduced 1000 ? . a week , while the receipts are largely augmented . Joint-Stock Banks arc steady . Ottoman and Ejcypt still flat . ~ In miscellaneous shares there is but little business doing . Peninsular and Oriental , Royal Mail ; North of Europe Steam , Berlin Water "Works , Oriental Gas , have been dealt in . Mining shares very flat . Great Wheal Alfreds have experienced a very serious fall of nearly 101 . per shave , an accident to the machinery having let in the water . The delay in raising ore has been the cause of this fall .
