A new farce, entitled “My Friend the Captain,” is to be produced tonight, at the Haymarket Theatre.
MR. HAMMOND will take a benefit at the English Opera House, on Monday next. We are happy to see that this very deserving actor’s professional brethren are coming forward to lend him that assistance which he has always been ready to afford to others.

A MR. GRAHAM has appeared at the Surrey. He is reported to be a very chaste and clever actor. If so, he certainly will not suit the taste of Mr. Davidge’s patrons. How they have tolerated Wilson, Leffler, and Miss Romer so long, we are utterly at a loss to divine. It must be, that “music hath charms.”

We give the following list of qualifications for a member of parliament for Westminster, as a logical curiosity, extracted from a handbill very liberally distributed by Captain Rons’s party, during the late contest:—
1st. Because “he isbrother to the Earlof Stradbroke.”
2nd. Because “hisfamilyhave always been hearty Conservatives.”
3rd. Because “they have been established inSuffolkfrom the time of theHeptarchy.”
4th. Because “he entered the navy in 1808.”
5th. Because “hebrought home Lord Aylmerin the Pique, in 1835.”
6th. Because “he ran the Pique aground in the Straits of Belleisle.”
7th. Because “after beating there for eleven hours, he got her off again.”
8th. Because “he brought her into Portsmouth without a rudder or forefoot, lower-masts all sprung, and leaking at the rate of two feet per hour!” ergo, he is the fittest man for the representative of Westminster.—Q.E.D.
LORD LONDONDERRY, in a letter to Colonel Fitzroy, begs of the gallant member to “go the whole hog.” This is natural advice from athorough borelike his lordship.
