Easter Mondatt At The Theatres, &O. That...
weighty , for it would seem that lectures and dioramas now flourish more than anything else on the people ' s well-loved Monday that follows " hot-cross bun-day "—if the reader will pardon that involuntary verse . We have , therefore , little to do in chronicling the entertainments that marked the commencement of the week . Dbury Lane opened its doors for an operatic season ; Verdi ' s Trovatore , under the English title of The Gipsy * s Vengeance , being the work which was selected for the entertainment of the Easter folks . Mr . Tul . lv was tbe director of the orchestra . Madaine Lucy Escott performed the part of Leonora , and the other principal singers were—Mr . Henri Dratton as Com / De Lb »« , Mr . Augustus Bkaham as Manrico , and Miss Fanny Huddart as Azucena . The musical sketch of Marguerite ( fche Marguerite of the " Faust" story ) concluded the performances to the entire satisfaction of the audience . The Spanish Dancers have reappeared at the Haymarket-not , as formerly , in a mere series of detached dances , but in a little ballet , called El Gambusino , containing a story of a Mexican gold-seeker , his perils and bis love—a story gorgeously absurd , and pleasantly proposterous . Of the passionate , red-blooded dancing of the Senora Pekea ISena and her associates , we have hitherto , on more than one occasion , spoken in terms of high praise ; and consequently need now only record the renewal on Monday evening of their long- lease of popularity . — The Princess's depended on its old piece , Faust and Marguerite , and on a new farce called A Prince for an Hour , which contains a piece | of drollery for Hakley , who plays a love-lorn Italian shepherd of the sixteenth century- — -At the Adelphi , Mr Wright reappeared in two stock pieces , followed by the Christmas extravaganza . —The Ol . ym . pic , also , renewed the burlesque , which , for the last three months , has delighted old and young ; and at Sadler ' s Wells another of Mr . Planche ' s brilliant rainbows of fancy and humour—the Invisible Prince of . Macready ' s
management at Drury Lane—was revived by Mr . G . A . Webster ( nephew of the Adelphi Webster ) , who opened the house for a brief season with a version of The Marble Hart , in which Mrs . Leigh Murray and Miss M . Oltver performed . —The Surrey entertained its visitors with a drama of London life , called How we Live in the World of London , founded on Mr . Mayhevv ' s inquiries , stuffed full of horrors and startling effects , and revealing to us burglars , pickpockets , and area-sneaks , as virtuous and heroic as the Jack Sheppard—not of the Newgate calendar , but—of Mr . Aiksworth ' s romance . —Astley ' s simulated a steeplechase , with breathless escapes and deeds of daring ; the Victoria rejoiced in two full-flavoured melodramas ; the City of London produced an Israelitish spectacular opera ( to please ladies and gentlemen " of the Hebrew persuasion " ); and , at the Standard , Mr . Henby Makston performed Shakspeare ' s Kiny John . The Exhibitions , as we have said , came out in force . The Polytechnic , the Panopticon , the Great Globe , Buefobd's Panorama , Tussaud ' s Waxwork , & c , attracted large numbers through the whole day by theLr dioramas , instructive lectures , scientific and artistic miscellanea , Crimean relics , and faithful portraitures of world-famous men and women , Greenwich Fair was riotous , dusty , east-windy , and drunken , as usualr and ( as Planche once said in a play-bill ) Sic transit gloria ( Easter ) Mundi .

Russian Poland.-—A Memorial To The Emper...
Russian Poland .- —A memorial to the Emperor of Russia from the nobles of Vilna hi Poland , praying for the re establishment of the University of "Vilna , and for the use of the Polish ' language' in all the schools of that district , lias been senb back without an answer , though couched in the terms of the most profound loyalty . "What are we to : hope frbm the fine measures of benificent reform for Russian Poland of "which . we have recently been told ? M . Cousin . — " Some time ago , " says the Delats , " we announced the early publication of a course of lectures , by M . Cousin , upon the 'Sensualist Philosophy of the Eighteenth Century . ' The-work , delayed by causes over which the author had no control , will appear in the course of a few da . ys . We state this with pleasure to our read era , who will find in the teachings of M . Cousin , the eloquent defender of spiritualism , and a -wrtei" firmly resolved to mainta ' n the liberty of the human intellect . " The Prussian SrY System . —A . story was current in Prussia some time since , that the Kin ^ , conscious of the system of espionage under which he lived , had the greatest difficulty , when on a "visit to the Rhine last year , in communicating confidentially with , an ex-Minister , who was at the same time one of his Majesty ' s oldest and dearest friends , and at last thought it necessary to appoint a meeting at a railway station , where the two could converse without fear of intrusion on their privacy . —Times . Simonides , the Greek forger of MSS ., who has lately been in custody in Prussia , on a charge of fraudulently passing off certain spurious imitations as the genuine Uranios Palimpserfc , has been acquitted , on . the ground that be had not committed , nor attempted any fraud upon a Prussian subject , nor in Prussia . The-real culprit aa regards tho attempt at fraud is a Saxon .
