On the police going to the spot they found that four men had been stabbed at the Golden Anchor public-house, corner of Castle street, kept by Mr. Frederick Shaw. It appeared that on Saturday night some Italians were ejected from the house for making use of abusive language, and last night some of them entered the tap-mom for the avowed purpose having revenge. Whilst there they abused some English r.en, broke the seats, and were proceeding to further seta of violence, when Mr. Shaw went to the door and called in Detective Fawell, 42 A ; but before he got to the taproom loud cries of murder were heard.

Hill, the resident medical officer, expressed an opinion that the wound would prove fatal, on which Inspector Potter, and Acting-Inspector &Jacek 1 G, attended with the prisoner, and Ribbock pointed him out as the perms who bad stabbed him. The prisoner betrayed not the slightest emotion, and treated the matter with the greatest iedifferenox Before the prisoner was removed from the Royal Free Hospital, information was brought that the man Sarricima was dying in St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, sod apes going there, it was found that he had been stabbed very badly in the stomach, and that his bowels pro traded. This unfortunate man also pointed out the prisoner as the man who had stebbed him, but although his deposi tion was taken, Harriogton said that he would not sign the p.iper, as he freely forgave the primmer, and he hoped God ...mid too. Neither Harrington nor Ribbeck were expected to survive the night. The other two men stabbed by the prisoner were attended to at the Royal Free Hospital, but .:though t►eir wounds were very deep they were not con- metered of such a dangerous nature as to detain them in the hospital E AMINATION OF THE PRISONER AT CLRRHEN• WELL POLICEXOURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Our theatrical record of Boxing-day, 1964, though somewhat pared down by the pantomimes and other entertainments produced on Christmas-eve, which we had to chronicle yesterday morning, is still a goodly mass of print. It shows that whatever con dition the British drama may be in, regarded from a l'igh art critical point of view, there can be little doubt about the number and material prosperity of our theatre. and exhibitions. One peculiarity of the present Christina& which we may draw attention to is the increase of morning performances. There will be more of these extra representations this week than at any former period, simply because managers now provide for country visitors and Londoners who live out of town. All the one legged clowns—the marvellous cripples promised to the public—have appeared at the various theatres and music -halls, and last night witnessed the suc cessful trial of a new and clever variation of the " ghost effect." The capital now annually in vested in the production of pantomimes is so bale, that it requires the crowded audiences of many nights to repay the managers' outlay, and we hope that all those who have striven honestly to amuse the public will be well rewarded for their true ole. MONEY MARKET.-(TEIE DAY) Two o'Oxoot. The stock markets to-day are firm, and the imme diate tendency of prices is rather favourable, the appearance of the money market encouraging a belief that a further reduction in the rate of discount may take place early in the new year.

THE STUART PAPERS IN THE ROIAL LIBRARY AT WINDSOR. Among the treasures of the Royal Library, at Wiedsor. are two collections known respectively as the Comiertand Paptra lied the Jimert Paper*. The first coesiste of letters, kc., collected by William Henry, Duke of Cumberland, the victor at Culloden, and uncle of George 111., sod relates to the affairs of E.. glued and Europe during the whole of his otticial life. The other consists of • series of letters, dont meets, many thous-mils in number, collected by the exiled Stuart,, contaioieg important materials for the his tory of England during the last century, and particularly for the period between 1716 and 1770, wheu the last hopes of the restoration of the dispossessed house were abandoned. The papas have been arranged in chronological order, and • calendar is being made, the late Prates Consort desiring that, if possible, this pleader 'build be printed for general use; and that se soon as the papers were in • condition to be consulted by those who required more specific ieformatioa than the calendar could give. they should, under the needful restrictions. be made se oeseible to them. In the course of this work many docu ments of great interest have fallen under notice, sod among them some relating to the secret visit nude by Prince Cherie* Edward (the young Pretender) to Ludoo is the yr ar 1750, and to his profession of protestrinti.m. Two of these were known to the conmassioners, end the whole of them having beeu submitted by Yr. Woodward. the libnirien, to the notice of the Queen, her Ma j-sty has been pleased to command him to make' them publicly known, contideriog them too valuable a contribution to the exact knowledge of our history at that time to wait until the calendar should be published. Among the papers are the following fragments, which are of tho elass which Lord Stanhope has printed, se "Liu of the Lear Stuart " It they do not illustrate the poetical genius of the Prince. they show, Mr. Woodward thinks, that he was imitatively siocate in his profession of pro. testantisru.

ORIENTAL INLAND STEAM COMPANY. The report of the directors of this company to the annual meeting on Thursday states that at the last meeting the shareholders wars informed that the company had three steamers at work on the Indus; that the liability to the bankers had been reduced to 15,5001.; that all debts bad been paid at Calcutta; and that the working account gave clear evidence of a far different result from that of last year. Since that period the directors hays received further MUM upon bonds, enabling them to reduce the debt to the bankers to 10,5001., and sufficient remittances have been sent from Ku:lichee to mete the payments for interest on bond and loan accounts to the 30th September, besides providing for the current expenses of the company in Lon• don. Thais remittances would have beau larger but for loam of tiros occasioned by the continued priming of the Jhshim's boilers, and the detention of the Saone fur a thorough overhaul after her voyage from Calcutta. At the date of the last &deices it was expected the Sane would be at work in a fortnight ; sad, as full instructions had been sent oat for remedying this one only defect in the Jhelum, both those vessels would shortly be again in an effi cient condition. The Indus had continued to work with re gularity throughout the year. The revenue account gives nine voyages to the Indus, five to the Jhelum. since Jaseary, and two to the Scans Moe May. The groin receipts on thew sixteen voyages were 50,1784 4s. 11d., and the gross dis bursements, including current repairs, 24,2821. 6e. 6d. ; leaving as net receipts, 25,595/. VW. 5d., or at the rate of MAC/. 9s. 10d. per voyage. In the circular addressed to the shareholders by the board in March last the net earnings of each steamer, making eight voyages, were estimated at 11,6001. in the year, or at 1,430/. per voyage. The experience of the past year is, therefore, more than 1501. per voyage in excess of this estimate, and the opinion of the most competent authorities is th►t the traffic is only begins's' to be developed. The attention of the directors has been given throughout the year to the reduction of the general charges, and of the working expenditure of the com pany. and they trust that the amounts; presented next year will show a very considerable diminution under these heads. In fortheraticeof this purpose they have despatched to India a gentleman of great Indian experience with instructions to investigate every detail of the company's management, and with full powers to make such changes as might appear desi rable both on the Indus and at Calcutta, closing the latter agency as soon as practicable. The cyclone, which occurred at Calcutta on the sth October, seriously Winged, but maned no total loss to the company's fleet. The Ganges, Bracey, and Rifle, with some of the date, weirs driven from their moorings on to the opposite bank of the river. Tue &assay and Rifle have since been got off, and the Ganges, which is reported to have received no damage, was expected to be floated at the next 'pang tide. The directors have received from an engineer of ability and repute in Calcutta, a most satisfactory report on the Ganges and Janos. As he certifies that both can Abe made thoroughly efficient vessels for a small outlay, &marinade have been made far his carrying out the alterations without delay ; as whether for sale or charter, the money would doubtless be well expended. In order to stiengtben the company on the Indus the direc tors had given instructions to send the Gore and Brassey to Kurrachee this season ; but it is not probable t h at the Brassy, owing to the great demand for labour in Calcutta consequent upon the cyclone, will be repaired in time. The Oogra was undergoing the necessary overhaul when the last mail left. Three of the fl►ts have been shipped in pieces in a sailing vessel, and have, it is believed, reached Kans.:hoe before now. Some time since the directors sent orders to the scents at Kurrachse sal Cal. mitts, to forward to the London office a complete inven tory of the property of the company—vessels, land, buildings, stores, ke., with a statement of their present esti. mated value annexed to the original cost, as they were aware that much of the property, especially stores, had becondi espreciated, while on the other hand they had reason to believe that the freehold premises in Kaneohe', and the lase of yard at Calcutta, had risen in value. It was their desire to have placed this matter before the shareholders in this year's accounts, but the DOW arrival of these state meets prevents their doing so. They have, however, resolved that the Sutlej shall no longer stand on the books of the company at its original cast, and have written off 17,100/., it having been found that abe cannot be advanta geously repaired. They have also written off the entire cost of the fiat Calcutta, lost on the voyage round to Kur rachee. The cost of maintaining the company's property at Calcutta, amounting to 13.01564. Itts.Gd., have been placed to capital expenditure. Owing to the recent extreme dearness of money, the directors have not pressed the issue of the remaiuipg bonds, bat intend to offer them again shortl►, giving. as before, a preference to shareholders. In 000clu siou, this directors cannot hut regard it as a satisfactory feature that, during a year of much straggle and difficulty, the net receipts on lass than the average working of two steamers on the Indus, have defrayed all charges at Kurra chee. Mooltan, and the sub•ao;encies, as well as those of the London office, sod, after charging depreciation and in surance at ten per cent. on the value of the stock employed in arcing revenue, leave a balance of Val:. Ga. 9d.. to be carried to next year's account. They refer with consider. able satisfaction to this. as it proves that the energetic and economic working of the Indus with suffi4ent plant will matarially alter the position of this company, leavioglittle doubt that at this time next year they will be jastined in recommending the payment of a dividend.

Mr. Curdle oberrved to Miss Suevellicci that " the unities consist of completeness—of a kind of winged dovetaileduses with regard to place and,time, sad a sort of general oneness;" and Mr. E. L Blanrhardhas evidently kept this definition steadily before him during the coostructioa of the new Christmas pantomime for this house. " Hop o My Thumb and his Eleven Brothers ; or, Harlequin and the Ogre of the Seven League Boots," both in plot and action, has more "universal dovetailedoess" than is usual in pro , ductions of its class, and that we should discover the unities in that glorious incongruity, a good old English pan tomime, is only lees surprising than if we found originality in a bright new English dams. If there is anyone, not a confederate, who believes in the spiritual pretensions of the Davenports, or the mock science of their showman, let him see the marvellous structure of Messrs. Bolen* and Barnes. It is nothing that musical instruments are banged through the fa miliar lozenge-shaped aperture, or that this stalwart clown and pantaloon are securely bound. There is a sweet assumption of dispensing information about the silent atti tudinising of the latter before the experiment commences, and an exquisite grimace to the audience on the face of the former when the cabinet is opened by the befloured and belaboured committee that to our minds solved the great rope problem much more completely than any of the argu ments we have read. The pantaloon's suburban retreat, where cats and organs reign supreme, the national school and cabstand, the clown's patent bread and biscuit bakery, the dance of the animated alphabet, and the final spasm of delight when the fairies bestow their blessing from their Halls of Splendour, and the andiense are dismissed to the dull realities of life, were all 'stairs' portions of this true Boxing-night's entertainment. The house was, of course, crammed, and though the genial orange peel was freely thrown, and the robust chaff suffi. ciently prominent prior to the commencement of the pan tomime, there was not a single manifestation of ill•temper throughout the evening. Before and behind the curtain all went merrily as a marriage bell, and both lessees, authors, actors, and the public may be congratulated on the jovial and pleasant inauguration of the winter season at Drury. lane. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. COVENT OARDEN. Discarding for a while Euglish opera, the director* of the company last night produced a pantomime on a satin► of almost unprecedented splendour. Reimer for weeks past has been busy with report' of the gorgeous and gigantic preparations on foot, and these rumours were verified to the letter. Additional excitement and interest were imparted to the occasion by the possibility of one of the main attest tions—tbe famous Donato—Dot being forthcoming. He was en gaged, it appears, some twelve mot ths back by Messrs. Camille and Marnet, who " sub-let " him to Mr. Mortal, of the Can terbury and Oxford Music Halls. After having been for many weeks past advertised to appear at Covent-earden, ast injunction was applied for on Vi edmenday last to prevent his doing so, and the matter stood over until yesterday. The case was then further beard by Vice-Chancellor Kindenley, at his private residence, and was for the present decided to favour of the Opera, the injunction being refused on the ground that the company should have been made party to the suit. It will be again gone into on the 11th of January, but in the meanwhile Douato is free to disport himself on his " five " toes at Covent-garden. His career has bees an extraordinary one, end fully justified the great interest with which his dAtlt was looked forward to. Originally a ballet dancer in Italy, he went to Spain and took to bull fighting, but being gored by a bull in a manner that name. *Rated amputation of a leg, he again essayed his old pro (mien minus that important feature. Since then his suc cess has been enormous in the principal continental capitals, and the enthusiasm with which his trcly marvellous per formance was greeted last tight renders it certain that hie fortunes io England will be equally propitious. It Is scarcely necessary to state that the hones was crowded in every part, and soon after the doors were opened money was tendered in vain for most of the unreserved places. For a Biting-night audience there was less than the usual amount of noise, and Beee diet's one-act spent, with whicii the performance com ineoced, was listened to with reasonable attention, although at time.. the dialogue was rendered inaudible by shrill is terchuges of "compliments" from the boys that thronged the greater part of the gallery. The subject of the panto mime is not by any means a uew one, Cinderella having ap peared on the stage in a great variety of forms. It is from the pen of the " Ilrotheis Winn," under which humorous appellation— we believe we are violating ne secret is saying so—Mr. E. L. Blanchard, the most experienced of panto mime writers, cows:els his identity. It was surely a mistake, however, to introduce Do nato so late in the evening, as it was nearl♦ midnight before he made his appearance. As be will certainly take the town by storm, it will be advis. able, we think, to arrange matters so as to enable him to perform somewhat earlier. The exhibition is certainly most marvellous, and not at all disagreeable, as might, perhaps, have been expected. All unpleasant seems tious are et once removed by has wonderful activity and grace. In fact, he appears far mote at home on his otie leg than mauy people are on two. His execa tion of a dance, in which be entwines himself in, and oath votes himself from, the folds of a mantle, causing it to revolve about him in fantastic shape', while he himself is twirling mood with the rapidity of a faetotutu, quite beggars all description. He likewise played on his castaoets with wonderful skill, *tuning firmly and quite motionless on his leg, and it was only al ter battening off on the close of Lis performance that he appeared to bow his acknow ledgments aided by a crutch. We believe the mom paid to Donato for the engagement is an extravagant oue, bat however large, it will certainly repay the company, as "everybody" will make a point of seeing him. HER MAJWTY'S. Novelties are plvutif ul in the Christman panto mime which Mr. W. Harrisoe provides. The very subject is new. The legend of the waders between the two up porters of the royal crest before the ownership of the crown was decided has never till now appeared In a panturniuuo dress, and the very ineaAre accounts which traditml, sup plies of the nature and result of the contest leaves Hr. H. J. Byroa ample scope for Iris inventive genius. The usual hits upon the topics of the day are amusingly introduced. amongst the more prominent of the allusions being the suggestion of a now " Bsotiog" process, and some rep. and closet tricks beyond anything the Davenports have attempted. This pantomime is smartly writteo, ably appointed, mad well put upon the stage ; it is replete with attractive novel ties, arid, k. judge from the manner in which the tir.t rem imitation, with all it. imperfections, was received, it will bold its place amongst the best of the prodtickuu. of the present season. HAYMARKEr. Here the occasion was signalised in the first in stance by the se-appearance of Mr. Sothero, after en absence from Loudon of SMUG mouths. lie played in two pieces, namely, " D.trid Gsrrick," in which he seemed • trite below his ordinary mark, as if suffering is some degree from indisposition ; and afterwards in the eery materialistic extravaganza of " Lord Dundreary Married," and the loud welcome with which he was received when he entered in the f►miliar " get up," doubtless raised his spirit., for be was peculiarly happy asd genial in his efforts.
