Although the attractions of the great pantomime at this house are not yet sensibly diminiabed, the manage. meat are busily preparing the drama of Bonnie Dundee, shah, as at present arranged, will be produced on Monday, the 23rd inst. To give due effect to this drama the company has been strengthened by one or two engagements, the chief one being that of Mr. Henry Loraine, an actor of romantic parte, who is well known in the provinces and America. This gentleman made his first appearance in London last night in thecharacter of Den Cirsar de Bazan, and made a favourable impression. He has good looks, a full rich voice, plenty of confidence, and reminds us somewhat of Mr. Charles Dillon. As the character he selected is one which is played by everybody in the same rollicking manner, we shall reserve our opinion of the new•comer until we see him in the new drams. HAYMARKET. Mr. Sothern will terminate his present engagement with Mr. Buckstooe in the early part of April, when he will proceed to the provinces for the purpose of giving a still wider popularity to his famous impersonation of Lord Dendreary. Oa his temporary retirement from the Kap market stage, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wigan will commence a short Boson, extending from the 20th of April to the 4th or Utk of Joss. STRAND. A light and pleasant coruediette, by Mr. Wooler, was successfully produced at this house last night, under the title of A Fara Heart which did win a Pair Lady. The proverb which Mr. Planchi has treated dramatically with so much wit and gram is here shown to be false by a very agreeable little story. Two pupils of an old professor are is love with the same lady—one of the pupils being wild and impudent, the other steady and modest. The lady, who seems well able to take care of her own interests, discovers the demerits of the first and the merits of the second by means of an ingeniously contrived disguise, and, of course, the modest MIA is rendered happy to the discom fiture cf hie rival. The dialogue is level, with a few points here and there, but the characters have nothing in them that is new or unfamiliar. Miss Eleanor Button, as the young lady, played with greet spirit, while Mr. Belton' and Mr. Yarealle, though rather full growu pupils to be outwitted by a girl, Mowed good stage tact as the impudent and bashful lovers. Mr. J. W. Ray had a little part of a grave professor, which be made the most of by sterling eating. The acme of this little piece is laid in Holland, and the costumes and scenery leave nothing to be desired. The management is deserving of the highest maim for the corn. pletenma with which every drams—large or pat upon the stage at this theatre.

An order of the Emperor of Austria has been published to-day, decreeing the prorogation of the Galician Diet until the 2nd March. This resolu tion is supposed to have been adopted in conse quence of Prince /*delis having announced his in tention of proposing that the Diet should vote an address to the Emperor of Austria, requesting his diplomatic intercession with the Emperor of Russia in favour of Poland. A rumour iq current that the Marquis Wielopol ski bag been assassinated. LEMBERG, Fix 9, Evianto. The insurrection at Olkusch is rapidly spreading. The insurgents under Kurowski are posted near Dombrowa. Langiewics is preparing to attack Czenstockaa. The insurgents have promised the railway adminis tration not to destroy the line on condition that all, trains shall stop if signalled by them to do so. MYSLOWITZ, Pea 8. The insurgents are in possession of all places between Czentochow and the Prussian frontier. The Russian ,troops which had fled into Prussian territory have been escorted to Heiwitz. Railway communication between Breslau and Warsaw has been re-established. BEIJTHEN, F. 8. Some hundreds of peasants, suitable for military service, have taken refuge, with their goods, on Prussian territory near Brinica. The great landed proprietors are assisting the in surgents with horses and provisions. BERLIN, Fee. 9, EVENIBO. The Norckleutedbe Zei*ung of this evening says "News of an alarming character has been received from the Polish provinces. Up to the present time the agitation prevailing in Russian Poland has not crossed our frontier, but great excitement has now commenced in some districts, chiefly in that of Balm, amongst the Polish landed proprietors. " It is believed that serious intervention upon the part of the government will become necessary." The Neue Preuasisehe (Irreutz) Zeituug says : "The extension of the Polish insurrection has increased. The whole of the Ist and 6th Prussian army corps, and a division of the 2nd corps, are to be concentrated. It is rumoured that the battalion is in future to consist of 800 men." ITALIAN SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. TURIN, Fm. 9. To-day in the Chamber of Deputies Signor Petruccili put a question to the Ministry in refer ence to the present state of things in Poland. The Minister for Foreign Affairs begged the Chamber not to engage in a debate on that question, as the government was not in possession of the information necessary to enable it to judge of the events now passing in Poland. Instructions would, he said, be given to the Italian representative at St. Petersburg of a nature favourable to the in terests of the friendship existing between the two States, but upholding liberal principles. Signer Petrucelli thought it would be a shame to Italy to avoid discussing the Polish question when the English, French, and Swedish parliaments had testified their sympathy with Poland. Signori Crispi and Brofferio supported the views of Signor Petrueelli. Signor Miceli complained of the Ministry pre venting manifestations of the popular sympathies with Poland. Signor Farioi reminded the Chamber that pry detce was necessary in dealing with questions of foreign policy, and considered the discussion of the question dangerous. Signori Giorgine and Lanza stated that the majority and minority entertained the same sen timents with regard to Poland. But the majority avoided the discussion of the question, believing it unsuited to the dignity of parliament to give a barren vote. The following vote was then adopted :—"The Chamber, considering the present moment inopportune for the discussion of the ques tion put by Signor Petrucelli, passes to the order of the day." RUMOURED CESSION OF THE ISLAND OF ELBA TO FRANCE. TURIN, VEB. 9, Evcsno. In the Chamber of Deputies, this afternoon, Signor Musolino questioned the ministry with regard to a rumour of the cession of the island of Elba to France. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, abso lutely denying the truth of the rumour. THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S REPLY TO THE UPPER HOUSE. BERLIN, Fra. 9. The reply of the King to the address of the Upper House was read to the mambers to-day. In this reply the King says that his heart is gratified at perceiving such a complete agreement between the loyal address of the Upper House and his own views. His Majesty continues :—" It will be the aim of the government to firmly main tain the position it has taken up, at the same time remaining open to any approaches which may be made by the Chamber of Deputies, with the view of increasing the greatness of Prussia through her military power." THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAIL SOUTHAMPTON, Fa. 10.

ROME. (12011 ♦ ROME, FM 3. Much has been said and written about English colonies, but truly there is none more curious than the English colony in Rome. It has its own cote ries, its own artists, its own tradespeople, its own vehicles, its own horses, its own doctors, its own Pope. It has pitched on the best situations in the town, where it pays its own prices and follows its own ways. That corner of the old Campus Mar tins which was furthest from the Capitol, and which was hemmed in by the Tiber on the one side, and the Picchu] hill on the other, is the English Ghetto, where, in the Corso, the Condotti, the Croce, the Habib)°, the Piazzas di Spagne and del Popolo, and a few other streets and spaces, the Serpentine, to use Juvenal's phrase, has long mingled with the Tibor. Here you may see the best carriages and horses that Rome can produce, waiting, hour after hour, to carry the barbarian of the North to gal leries where he catches a worse rheumatism than his native fogs supply, in the pursuit of objects of art which but too often when found he cannot or to churches where ho jostles all the of Rome in Intoning to a service conducted in a tongue which he does not understand, and oouched in words which he is bound to identify with blasphemy and idolatry. In these conjunc tures and under these circumstances there is often to be seen a shade of hesitancy and gloom on the broad Saxon visage. But there is one place in Rome, and one opportu nity where the observer would pronounce that, though sleepy, he is perfectly at home. It is when be is to be seen seated, standing, or kneeling in the barn outside the Porta del Popolo, which satisfies at once the proprieties of Papal ascendancy, and the cravings of British devotion. True, it is but a barn, and an ugly one. True, it is close to the abattoirs which, day by day, witness the last struggles of the unclean beast. True, there is not a vestige of ecclesiastical finery about the edifice, or of sweetness in the tones of the organ, or of solemnity in the old man who blows the bellows, or of consideration for the wor shippers in the fleas which infest the place ; but it is the English church, and there you may see more wealth and fashion and beauty than in all Rome besides. Just now, while preparations are being made for the Carnival, the Piazza del Popolo is inconveniently crowded with temporary structures, among which is to be seen a wild beast caravan with about half a score very common curiosities, such as lions, bears, and monkeys. This want of room makes the jostling of carriages the more remarkable on a Sunday morning, as the protestant worshippers all have to *MOO through the open space in question. Such laces, such bonnets, such trim exquisites, such smart old gentlemen ! To each is allotted about eighteen inches of seat, so that a male devotee between two fe males is absolutely overflown by cascades of crinoline. The service is of the usual type, slightly high, but so arranged as not to in terfere too strongly with the prejudices of the low church element, which musters strongly, and which, though it is much given to dolly with the legitimate scarlet celebrity, does not permit the protestant chaplain more than a very slight shade of red in his vestments. Re wise man , well aware that a' more nasal rite is b eing; simultaneously performed at the " American chapel," smothers his predilec tions and retains his flock. It is true that westing tunesof that peculiarly waehed-outdeacription which high churchmen call Gregorian, and which can all be imitated, if not surpassed, by striking four con igguous notes on the piano or organ at rapid inter , vale and entirely at random. It is true also that we hear sermons ou martyrdom, and that a kern Recordite would see much to denounce in the some what miscellaneous library which constitutes one of the attractions of the place, and which, after morning service, is crowded by ladies and children returning books and borrowing others, which are dispensed by two sour-looking females, who look as if they had swallowed but could not digest the key of knowledge. But, after all, the English chapel at Rome is a very remarkable place, and no nation except England could show, at such a distance from home, a congregation like that which Sunday after Sunday collects within those walls. AMERICAN AID TO LANCASHIRE-ARRI- VAL OF THE GEORGE GRISWOLD. This vessel, which has been for some days eagerly looked for, arrived yesterday afternoon in the !foray about half-past 4 o'clock. On rounding the Rock Lighthouse she was saluted by • discharge of artillery from the Rock fort, and also from the North fort on the Liver pool side. The Griswold was decorated with flags, and wee towed up by the steamtog Resolute, which bad the Amen can flag (stars and striper) flying at the peak. Mr. Brame?. yacht, with all her bunting out, went to meat the skip out side, and accompanied her up the river. Moat of the Arne rhurn vowels in port also displayed their national and gene ral colours. As the vessel has arrived so late so demon atr►tions on the part of the authorities will take place to• day, but So soon as arrangements can be completed the cap taro and officers will be invited to St. George's-ball, where addressee will be promoted. The mayor also intends giving • banquet at the Town-hall. The Chamber of Commerce have already adopted an address blooded to embody the sentiment. of the mercantile community of Liverpool. The cargo of the George Griswold comprises 13,736 barrels of flour, 315 bole. of bread, 60 barrels of pork, 167 bags of core, 175 barrels of breed, 102 boxes of bacon, 3 tiaras of rice, 2 bags of rice. The contributions on board from the New York Produce Exchange are 1,500 barrels of flour, 500 barrels of eons, and 50 barrels of pork. The Griswold is a 'inert, he•dseme vessel, and has such buoyancy that though by carpenter's measurement .he does not exceed 1,280 tons, she will probably carry 1,600. She was built at Quincy (Mass.) by Deacon Thomas, , who, it is said, never con structed an inferior ship. She is all oak (at least her entire frame), with top timbers and stanchion of locust, and is copper bolted throughout. She is 200 feet long, and has 25 feet breadth of beam, 24 feet depth of bold, and two decks. She has a long fiat floor, with sharp erode, and is • good sailer. She is provided with double topsail yards, all handsomely proportioned. Her sails ere of Scotch hemp canvas, an article which, in the scarcity and price of cotton, has taken the place of the Leavy duck made of that material. It is much softer and more durable, but dose not bold the wind so well. She has a tank amidships reach. ing from keelaom to upper deck, which will contain 5,000 pilaw of water. With this exception, the ship has ► clear bold, and between decks from stem to stern. Her ample cable and other houses are upon the upper deck. Before the vessel left New York, • meeting was held on board, and the treasurer of the executive committee reported the amount contributed to be over 108,000 dols. There were two other organizations not reported. There remained in hand 30,900 dols, in cash, a sum sufficient to inaugurate another movement similar to this ; and the sums received by the Corn Escheat'e committee amounted to 20,000 dole. !

The weekly meeting of the executive committee was held at the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday Sir J. H. Peurriswoava (in the absence of the Earl oiDerhy) unaided. The Hon. Senurraav stated that during leek week the committee despatched to various places 1,210 barrels of Sour, 113 packages of clothing, 106 barrels of flab, and 26 hampers of wine. The total amount of money remised during the same time was 26,300/ 4s. 3d. The law amounts received that morning (and not included in the above sum) consisted of 1001., the second instalment from the Peterhead lace! committee ; 100/.. a further donation, from the Balaton relief committee; 1,0001. from the county of Down ; 1,000/ from Belfast ; and 300 f. (16th instalment) from the Deify TelegrapA fund. Be said the balance in the bankers' hand on the amount was 404,836/ Ix sd. ; and 14,4471. Os. irsorin the New South Wake accoun Total 416,283/ 2e. 3d. A letter wu read from the Mayor of Halifax slating that every village sod hamlet around that borough had cheer fully subscribed to the filed for the relief of the distressed oper►tives, and bad expreseed the sympathy which they felt for their suffering betakes. The amount subscribed by such far sod near villages was a thousand pounds. A letter was also read from county Down, staling that at a public meeting it had been decided to saleM subscriptions through out that district in aid of the metal rebid fwd. The Hon. Elleartaitt preassitall to the committee his monthly report, ef which a following is a copy : " Maiticitestm, Feb. 9, 1863. " My Lordsead Gestlesneti,.-1 hest° premat to the com mittee my monthly return of the state of distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, and in doing so vesture to offer the following remake The return applies to 147 districts, all but Dube of which are situated within the 27 unions to which Mr. Farman weekly report of poor-law relief extends. In each of these districts local committees are at work, and all but 21 have received greats from this committee. Of this number, Kirkham, Lancaster, l'oynton, and Warrington support their own poor. Four have applied since the lest meeting of the committee, four had rents at the last meeting, six have been declined amistanee for the present on satisfactory grounds, and three have not as yet applied. The information referring to the state of employment shows, as was anticipated, a slight, though it is feared In many cams a temporary, improvement, there being now 147,542 persons working full time, 160,189 on short time, and 222,992 entirely out of employment ; and thus 26,413 mom persons are now working full time, and 5,411 more persons are on short time than in the week ending Dec. 27. 1862. The lose of wages table appears inaccurate after this statement, when taken in comparison with the last month ; but this may be explained by the information contained in this column not having been furnished last month by Oldham and 13 other local committees. The Ices et wages is now estimated at 172,7331. per week. The table giving the average income per head will be valuable to the committee, as a means of showing to what scale the committee profess to make the average income ; and an examination will prove that a revision of the scale is, in some Pais, much required. The important column stating the extent of employment provided for those in re esipt of relief proves that it is most desirable that some additional premium should be brought to bear upon the local committee on this subject. For after excluding all able-bodied males in receipt of relief from the guardians under the suppreidoa that they are employed—which, how- ever, is not invariably the case—it will he found that only a small proportion of those relying fur aid solely on the committees are provided with any employment. The ex penditure of the committees is Dow reduced from 46,77 W. to 39.5791. per week. This, though partly owing to the reduction of persons relieved-375,965 Rustiest 417,883 is the last week o( December—likewise arises from the reduced expenditure for clothing. The other columns of the table merely show the sources from whence the local committee have derived their funds, the drat column proving 245,2661. has been obtained from purely local ribecriptions, an amount which would furnish the sum required for the whole expenditure oo parochial outdoor relief in the twenty-seven unions for sixteen weeks. This, taken in connexion with the fact that almost double that amount has also been rained by this fund in the counties containing the largest portion of the cotton manufactories, fully Peevs that the resources of the district have not been spared. lam glad to be able to point out that whilst the local committees have been supplied with ample funds their balances inland are shown to be reduced to a little menthes 100,0601., as stated last month. In conclusion, I may men• lion that I have great coolideoce in the °offertories of these retirees, having earefally impressed time both the chairmen and the secretaries of the local committees that the im portance of this monthly statement being accurate is each particular cannot be over-estimated, and I have taken every precaution to secure this most desirable end. Mr. Commissioner FARNALL then read the following weekly return : " Manchester, Feb. 9, 1863. " My Lords and Gentlemini,-1 beg to Joke= you that, on the 31st ultimo, there was a decrease is the number of persons receiving parochial relief in the twenty-seven anima of the cotton zaanufscturing districts, as compared with the number so relieved ,in the previous week, of 7,101. It will be remembered that as the sth of December last the total number of pawns receiving parochial relief wee 271,983 ; but on the 31st ultimo there were 728,024 persons so relieved; there is, therefore, a decrease of 43,959. The decrease of 7,101, to which I have adverted, is explained as follows :—There is • decrease et Aslatoo under-Lyne of 1,078, at Bertooupon-Irwell of 53, at Blackburn of 574, at Bolton of 157, at Burnley of 125, at Bury of 334, at Morley of 223, at Chorltoo of 1,8C3, at Clitheroe of 14, at Garaging of 25, at Baslingden of 143, at Leigh of 129, at Macclaraeld of 62. at Manchester of 545, at Oldham of 407, at Preston of 745, at Prestwick of 24. at Rochdale of 127, at Seddlewortla of 55, at Salford of 158, at Stockport of 215, at Todmorden of 221, and at Warrington of 34, making a total decrease of 7,247 ; but there is an in. cream at the Fylde of 13, it Glossop of 44, at Lancaster of 14, and at Wigan of 75, making a total M enem of 146; so that there is a net decrease of 7,101. There were on the 31st ult., 228,024 persons receiving parochial relief in the 27 unions adverted to, but in the corresponding week of last year, only 19,164 persons were so relieved, so that, notwithstanding the gradual decrease of pauperism since the 6th of December last, there is at pea- sent an increase of 148,860 paupers, or 1880 per cent. The total weekly coat of out-door relief on the 31st ultimo was 15,256/. 13s. 2d. ; in the corresponding week of lent year it was 3,9541. 6s. ; there is therefore an increase of 11,302/. 7s. 2d., or 285'8 per cent, The amount of money in the bands of the treasure's of the above unions on the Slut timo was 55,9981. IA. 9d. I find that the total number of persons either receiving outdoor parochial relief, or being aided solely by the local committees, was 454,158, and that when the numbers so relieved were last reported to you they amounted to 468,542 persons; a decrease therefore has taken place of 14,384; but, not withstanding this devease, of the population of the 27 unions, to which this report applies, are still either pauperised or maintained by charity, while, at the mere. spoodiag period of last year, only four per cent of the people were in the receipt of relief. I also find that the guardians and the local committees are now spending is out-door relief and in general relief at the rate of 38,8554 per week, and that, when the expenditure for similar pur poses was last reported to you, it was at the rate of 41,3771. per week, so that there is • decrease of 2,522/. per week. The present expenditure of 38,8551. ter week gives an averse of la. 80. per week to each recipient. I further Sod that the local committees are now spending at the rate of 15,0001 per week in clothing, and that for the week ended the 26th of December last, they expended 20,5001. in clothing. The present expenditure of 15,000 f; per week gives en average of 918. to each of the 375,965 persons amongst whom the clothing was distributed, but 1 em given to uuderstend that this expenditure is at present rapidly decreasing. You have received reliable information from Mr. Edmund Ashworth, and other reliable gentlemen, that the canoe operatives will probably be but half employed during the pretest year, and you have also been iufornied that, in the week elided the 3lst ult., out of 536,7t3 wor k people, only 147,542 were working full time, while 160,189 were working short time, and 228,992 were wholly anent ployed ; it is therefore a matter of the deepest importance that we should forthwith give the present position and prospects of them workpeople our moat action. consideration, with view to preparing sod publishing that which may appear to as to be the best plan for sustaining their working euergas now 15'2 local d com: i t :nr u tte ired f e o s r f l o b ee r . ta:bl e rl ist ie f ed utur o ci; feeding end clothing. is conjunction with the par. dis tl it hee ibu rem titi at g oren charity, who Sr. chum of the poet, 466,150 persons, of whom 11,824 are indoor paupers.

Mr. Robinson, however, gave a medicine in a bottle with directions to ad minister three drape three times a day. She gave the child two doses, and found him dead at 8 o'clock next morning. Mr. W. Robinson, Commercial-road, chemist, mid that he was partially in error when he mid that the medicine in question oontitioed hemlock as well se henbane. He gave the hemlock to soother child. Many doctor gave hemlock to children, and witness bed given it to several since the prevent affair. Witness had not undergone an examination, but he knew se enrich of physic as moat doc tors. Dr. H. Letheby, midi& officer of health to the City of London, said that he had analysed the bottle of medicine produced. It contained 80 grains of spirituous liquid and vegetable extract. The extract contented henbane and apparently hemlock. Three drops of the medicine would contain half a grain of the henbane, which would be suffi cient to kill a child three months aid. Two doses would cause death. He analysed the blood of the deceased, and found in it the contents of the bottle. The henbane was no doubt absorbed into the system. There was greet danger in prescribing such a medicine, because an unskilled person would not be likely to give the exact three droPs, even if that quantity were not, as they were in the present ease, sufficient to mese death, The jury returned the fol lowing verdict :—`• That tho doomed died from the mortal effects of an overdose of • mixture containing henbane, three drops having been ordered to be administered by Wm. Robinson, a chemist; and that the conduct of Mr. Robinson in prescribing a niedieine of inch a dangerous character is highly to be censured." 11ILANCHOLY CAM OF SHOOTINO.—Two boys named Frisby, brothers, aged respectively twelve sat nine years, were amusing thernselvee with an iron tube sod pow der, in • geld near the residence of their father, at Bautwood Lodge, Bristol, on Friday night.
