Drooyn de Limy', by "order of the Emperor," recently addressed to Count de ISartiges, the ambassador of France at Rome, and a summary of which appeared in last evening's Express : Paris, Sept. 12. Monsieur le Comte,—The position we occupy at Rome has for a long time been a subject of the most serious consideration to the Emperor's govern ment. Circumstances have appeared favourable to us for examining anew the real state of things, and we think it useful to communicate to the Holy See the result of our reflections. I need not remiod you of the considerations which led the French flag to Rome, and which have hitherto determined us to keep it there. We were resolved 'lotto abandon that poet of honour until the object of the occupation was obtained. Nevertheless, we never thought that this situation was to be permanent. We have always considered it ab normal and temporary. Eight years ago the chief plenipotentiary of the Emperor at the Paris oon gresa described it in those terms. He added, in conformity with your Majesty's orders, that we longed with all our hearts for the moment when we should bauble to withdraw our troops from Rome without compromising the internal tranquillity of the country and the authority of the Pontifical government. On every occasion we have repeated the same declarations. At the commeucement of 1859 the Holy Father had proposed the end of theyear for the evacuation of the terntory guarded by our troops. The war which then broke out in Italy having decided the Emperor to renounce their recall, the same idea was renewed as soon as events appeared to authorise the hope that the Pontifical government would be able to provide for in, own safety with its own forces. Hence the understanding established in 1860, and in virtue of which the departure of the French troops was to take place in the month of August. The agitation which followed at that period once again prevented the execution of a measure which the Holy See desired as we did. Hut the Emperor's government continued all the same to see in the presence of our troops at Rome an exceptions! and transitory fact, which, in a mutual interest, we (ight to terminate as soon as the safety and the independence of the Holy See were secure against fresh dangers. How many reasons, in fact, had we not for wish ing that the occupation should not be indefinitely prolonged I It constituted as intervention con trary to 000 of the fundamental principles of our public law and all the more difficult for us to justify because our object in lending Piedmont the support of our arms was so free Italy from foreign intervention. The oonseqiience of this situation moreover was to place two distinct sovereiguties face to face upon the same ground, and to be frequently thus the cause of grave difficulty. The nature of things was stronger here than Diai a will. Numberless changes took place in the superior command of the French army, and the same dimensions, the same conflicts of jurisdiction, were always reproduced between our generals-in-chief, whose first duty is evidently Ito watch over the security of their army, and the representatives of Pontifical authority, jealous of maintaining in the acts of the home administration the independence of the territorial sovereign. To these inevitable inconveniences, which the French agents who were the most sincerely devoted to the Holy See did not succeed in removing, were added those which fatally result from the difference of political views. The two governments did not obey the same inspirations, or proceed according to the same principles. Our conscience too often com pelled us to give advice which that of the oonrt of Home too often felt obliged to dechee. If we insisted in too marked • manner we appeared to abuse the strength of our position, and in that case the pontifical government would lose, in public opinion, the merit of the wisest resolutions. On the other hand, by taking part in acts antagonistic to our social state and the maxims of our legisla tion, we escape with difficulty the responsibility of a policy we cannot approve. The Holy See, by its very nature, has its ape ial codes and its laws, which 00 many occasions are unfortunately in opposition with the ideas of our own day. Separated from Rome, we should certainly regret to see it rigidly oppoeing them, and guided by filial devotion, we should not, doubtless, be able to maintain silence when such facts afforded • pre text for the accusations of its enemies. But our pretrial at Rome, which creaks in this respect LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, • OCTOBER' 4, 1864. Mote imperious obligations, also rending under thews circumstances the relations of the two govern- i meats more delicate, and brings their reciprocal susceptibilities more into collision. However obvious these inconveniences may have been, we determined not to allow ourselves to be turned away from the mission we had accepted. The Holy Father had no army to protect his authority at home against the projects of the revolutionary party ; and on the other hand, the most disturbing dispositions prevailed in the peninsula oa the subject of the possession of Rome, which the Italian government itself, through its ministers in parliament es well as in diplomatic communities, claimed as the capital of Italy. While these views occupied the thought of the Turin cabinet we could not but fear that if our troops were recalled the territory of the Holy See would be exposed to attacks that the Pontifical government would not have been able to repeL We wished to preserve to it our armed support until the danger of these un thinking impulses appeared to us removed. We are now struck, Monsieur le Comte, with the happy changes in this respect which are manifested in the general situation of the peninsula. The Italian government has endeavoured fortbe lasttwo years to get rid of the last remains of thesetemaidahliensseeir tione, whisk, favousedby eikwundemess, bad gem 1 npbeyond its control, and the plans of w • ware' principally directed against Rome. After opposing them openly it has succeeded in dissolving them, and every time they have tried to reconstitute themselves it has easily thwarted their designs. That government has not merely prevented any irregular force from being organised on its territory for the purpose of attacking the provinces placed under the Pontifical sovereignty, but it has given to its polioy towards the Holy See an attitude more in harmony with its international duties. It has ceased to bring forward in the Chambers the absolute programme which proclaimed Rome the capital of Italy, and to address to us the peremptory declare, tions on this subject formerly so frequent. Other ideas have found a place in the best intellects, and they tend more and more to prevail. Renbuncing the pursuit by force of the realisation of a project we were resolved to oppose, and being unable on the other band to maintain iu Turin the seat of an authority the pre sence of which is necessary upon • more central point of the new State, the Turin cabinet itself it tends to transfer its capital to another city. In our opinion, M. le Comte, this eventuality is of major importance to the Holy See and to the Emperor's government ; for, when realised, it would form a new situation which would no longer offer the same dangers. After obtaining from Italy the guarantees we should feel bound to stipulate for in favour of the Holy See against external attacks, we should only have to assist Pontifical government in forming an army sufficiently orga nised and numerous to ensure respect for its authority at home. It would find us willing to assist its recruitment to the utmost of our power. Its present resources would not we know allow it to keep up a larger force; but arrangement* to be made would release the Holy See from a part of the debt, the interest of which it has hitherto considered itself bound by its dignity to continu to pay. Repossessed thus of important sums, de feuded at home by a devoted army, protector abroad by engagements we shall have asked of Italy, the Pontifical government would find itself placed under conditions which, while ensuring its inde pendence and its security, would allow unto assign a term to the presence of our troops in the Roman States. Thus would be verified the words addressed by the Emperor to the Kitg of Italy on the 12th July, 1861 : " I will leave my troops in Rome white your Majesty is not reconciled with the Pope, and while the Holy Father is menaced with seeing the States be still holds invaded by a regular or irregular force." Such are, Monsieur le Comte, the observations which an attentive and conscientious examination of present circumstances suggests to us, and which the Emperor's government believes it opportune to communicate to the court of Rome. The Holy See certainly longs most sincerely with us for the mo ment when the protection of our arms will no longer be necessary for its safety, and in which, without danger to the great interests it represents, it may return to the normal situation of an independent government. We are confident, therefore, that it will render full justice to the sentiments that guide us, and it is with this persuasou that I authorise you to call Cardinal Antonelh's attention to thecon siderations I have just developed. You may read this despatch to his eminence.— I am, &c. DROUTN nn. 1,1111.71 fa. ITALY. (ROIL 0171 OWN C011,8111PONDIWr.) TURIN, Sart. 30. As the question stands now, I see that people both here and in the other parts of Italy agree in the neceasity of accepting the Franco-Italian conven tion, trusting to the future, and holdiug that "time works in favour of every cause that has a soul in it." I do not mean to say that the convection will pass without opposition. On the contrary, I think that in voting the funds for the transfer of the capital to Florence the legislature will not fail to record that such a transfer is provisional ; asserting once more by a solemn and explicit declaration that they consider Rome as the future and real capital of their country. Could anyone entertain a doubt on this subject it would be dispelled by the articles which are daily published liu Italian newspapers. No matter whether they are I the organs of the moderate or radical party. At the imposing meeting held yesterday at Naples the re solution was unanimously passed :—" That the meeting has no other scope than that of confirming wore and more our right over Route as our capital, and over Venetia ; and to declare to the governmeut that no municipal inte rest, whatever it may be, can prevail on the resolution of the transfer of the provisional capital." This resolution, as you see, is a sort of sword with two edges, for, whilst it accepts the transfer of the capital to Florence, it declares that it must be but provisional, and that Rome is the real capital of united Italy. Nor is it only at Naples that such an opinion prevails, but I see it vehe mently set forth in an address which the Florentines have sent this morning to the people of this city. Although not so violent in its form, the address of the committee of Turinees to the Italians equally insists upon having the Eternal City foe capital, and the same is asked in the addresses sent by other Italian cities. Poor Giandeja—the Turinese mask in which the Piedmoutese are personified— takes heart, and in a witty caricature in one of the illustrated journals, is made to say, "You see I am not alone in wishing to go to Rome." From the official return published this morning, we now know that the victims of the 21st and 22nd, are 42 dead, amongst whom are two women ; sod the total of dead and wounded amounts to 166, amongst whom are five women and many boys. The publication of such s document, so appealing in itself, has, of course, created a mournful feeling amongst the population of this city ; but the calm I noticed in my last letter has not undergone any noticeable change. I am therefore led to believe that the worst is over, ani that we shall not have any further misfortunes to complain of. The ministry may now be considered as com pleted, with the appointment of Signor Natoli, a deputy from Messina, to Public Instruction ; and of General Riootti, a Lombard, to the Navy. It is generally asserted this morning that La Marmora's cabinet will try to open new negotiations with France, in order to stipulate that the transfer of the capital to Florence should only occur after the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome. Frvx o'CLocc. I have just returned from the office, and I am able to send you the programme of the la blarmora cabinet, which will be published this evening in the Official Gazette. It runs as follows :—" On assum ing the government amidst the gravity of the present events, the new ministry thinks it is its duty to make known to the nation in the clearest and most explicit manner its opinion upon the question which in a paramount manner pre-occu pies and agitates public opinion. The government accepts the convention recently stipulated with the French government for the evacuation of the Papal States by French troops, together with the condi tion at the transfer of the capital to another seat. I Wilh i llgp view, as soon an the jarlialnent meets, the gsvesnmapt will present to the chambers a measure. At the same time for high political reasons and in strict ;notice, the government of the Sing feels itelf bound to propose to parlia ment all those expedients which may lessen the losses of the city which will be no more the capital of the kingdom, without delaying the term fixed by theeonvention for the evacuation of the French corps of occupation in the Papal territory.. " This most noble city, which before everything only thought of the future of the nation, will give to Europe the splendid example of preserving also in this circumstance that dignified calm, which it never failed to have during all the phases of the Italian resurrection, which secured to it the sympa thies and applause of the whole of Italy and of the civilised world. " With such feelings, which the government thinks are shared by the great majority of the nation, the cabinet will present itself to the parliament, certain that the Italian people, impressed by the gravity of the situation, will preserve concord, whilst they will await with patience the decision of their legislators. The government, moreover, thinks that the Italians will also preserve that un alterable faith in their King, from which they have derived their force since 1859, and which will be the most sure guidance for the accomplishment of the destinies of the nation." Those of the medical schools which did not open on Saturday resumed yesterday afternoon. At St. Bartbo loosen's, the iotroductery Idiom was delivered by Mr. CaUdder, of Queen Anowstrest. The lecturer at West minster was Dr. Basham. of Chesterstreet. Dr. langdoe Down, of Earlswood, Redhill, assistant-physidui to the Impels), delivered the introductory address at the London Hospital; Dr. Greeshow at the Middlesex. and Mr. Gant, F.IR.C.S., Professor of aided Seugetry, at the Royal Free H Vitsraasairramos or PAIBROLL—Rumours have been circulated for some time past that Mr. Richard Potter, chairman of the Great Western Railway Company, wonidseek the suffrages of the Pembroke borough elector' at shamed emend election on liberal conservative princi ples. At she last election S.r Hugh Owen, Bart. (liberal) and Mr. 'Thomas Meyrick (conservative) wed the candi dates, and the former was elected by • considerable majority. The reported candidature of Mr. Potter being construed as iodinating that Mr. Meyrick had given up any idea of con beeig the borough sada, the latter geetlernam has ad dressed • letter to the electors, io which he distinctly repu diates the inference, and states that he will be • candidate on conservative principles at the out general elects:ie. Should the Bharat party, however, keep united-aid there is no radon to think otherwise—Sir Hugh Owen will doubt- less be again elected by • large majority. DEIN ALFORD ON TIM ACTELORISID VERSION.— The Gut number of the Sunday Miagerine, a new periodical edited by the well-known Dr. Guthrie, °entente an article by the Dean of Canterbury, in which the authorised version of the Scriptures re dammed. Dean Alford, re minding his reeders that of the St laid more of the manu scripts of the Gospels from which the text was printed, "no two are in all points alike, probably is no two of the more ancient can even • few consecutive verses be found in which all the words agree," and adding that sued of the differ. dices are very important, "even to the omission in some copies and insertions in others of passages of considerable length," remarks still further that in the most ancient &condors, the forms of the sacred text hoodoo more widely divergent. He says :—" Nay, a remarkable phe nomenon is forcing itself on the minds of those who have been widely conversant with them oldest authorities, vie., that the further back we go, the more divergent in mere outward form biome the wordings of the sand passages which are narrated by the gospels in common, and also the more divergent in the different primitive neanderipta, be come the mere words of the sacred teat throughout." The practical purpose of the article is, to urge the revises of our present version of the New Teedinest. After saying that our English venios "abouuds with inners and inadequate ren derings," he (Dein Alford) codieuee—" In this matter let rue speak plainly, sod ear that the church of Christ in this land bee not acted faithfully by her members. A formid able list of pesesges might be given, in which our version either has confessedly =Woodard the original, or lies followed • form of the text now well known not to have been the original form. rheas might be corrected at any time; and it ts • grievous thing that this has not bees dose, or is not now doing. For, as matters now stand, we are printing for reading in our churches, we are sending forth into the cottage and the mansion, books con taining passages sod phrases which premed to be the word of God, and are not : and that when the remedy is most easy, and lies at say time in our power. Let • couimissine of mss learned is the Scriptures be appointed, oh gen from our different Christian denominstroos, with deltoid powers as to this weighty matter, to be exercised under proper safe guards; and is a few years at most this stamblies-bleak will have been removed.

The isollialoe was very severe, so much so indeed that the crew of the Portu guese vessel has scarcely till], to get on board the G. P. Blanchard before the former vessel went down, taking with her one of the seamen, who was usable to escape with the remainder of the new. The cause of the collision is as vet sot known, but it is possible that the dense fog which has prevailed in the Chaeoel for the hut few days may have something to do with the accident.

A great number of persons have visited the soon of the catastrophe to-day, bat nothing like t • • numbers that were present yesterday. The names of the men that were in the barges sad up to the precept are miming ham just been seemisined. In the Good Design, IS. of the barge, belonging to the Mears. Hall, and that was alongside the magazine, contained William Jemmett, the captain, and Luke Barber, the mate. The other barge, known as Harriet, belonged to Mr. Monk, and three per sons must have perished with it. The names of the poor fellows are John Adios, captaio,.Thaniel Wine, mate, and William Didion, a boy of 13 years of age, the son of the captain. Every Mai* from London today has brought down numbers of itinerant glacier,. and it is medlar to add that they have found plenty of scope for pursuing their avocation, although many persons aro still lingering to as. if any stops will be takes towards raining a fund , to liquidate t►e damages. During the whole of to-day a large number of navvies were still engaged in basking up the temporary embank. meat, fears baring bean entertained that it might give way, notwithstanding the great emislions of the military on flatardey and &many to plyvastinalk 00 00010111006. The military authorities on Serniwy shaman eonsidered the embankment to be solar sectors es to justify them in remov ing the Artillery, Marines, sad other soldiers to Woolwich, from the scene of opetstioss ; and the autho rities of the district, the Dartford Commissioners of Sewers, in oonjunctioo with the superintendent of Mr. Webster's works at Creosoted Point, have been lift to the supervision of the works. Early this morning Kr. Basal mete, the chief engineer to the Metropolitaa Board et Works, visited the spot with Mr. Houghton, his moistest, together with Mr. Amos, of the firm of Easton and Amos, who attended on behalf of his partner, who is the chief ongimeer to the local Commiesioners of Sewers. There has been no aeration in the work since the morning of the ea. plosion, men working all night, Saturday and Sunday, by the aid of bonfires, the MOO6O at that .time being a win- silkily picturesque one. PUBLIC MUTING AT ■RITE. Last evening a crowded and influential publics meeting of the inhabitaote of Erith, Belvedere, Plumsteed, sad its vicinity was held at the Rice: Tavern, 'Era, to " consider the serious ►mount of damage done by the explosion on Sa turday last, mid to adoptauch resolutions as might be deemed necessary thereto." The chair was occupied by the Pee. Archdeacon C. J. Smith, vicar of Eritb, the Revs. T. Remit and J. Wood, Captain M'lCillop, R.N., Messrs. A. Russell, of Dartford* C. H. Smith, Greeewich;Hall, Beadle, Why, Webber, Shaw, Dalton, Everitt, Berle, with other influen tial residents were also present. The rev. chairman, corn moaned the proceedings by alluding to the vast and almost overwhelming calamity which bad suddeoly fallen upon that district. There were some points connected with the cata strophe which were not unworthy of comment. Amongst throe were the zeal and alacrity dis played by the entire population of the district to render every aid under the direful circumstances, and the singular sobriety and praiseworthy demeanour manifested by the thousands of persons, from the most remote Oboes, whose curiosity led them to visit the spot. They had, in deed, reason to be thankful for that ready aid, which doubt less prevented that mighty river from asserting its dominion and again flowing over those booed acres where it so doubt at one time found its original bed. The great sacrifice of property was, after all, es nothing when compared to the sacrifice of human life ; and he hoped it wiridd go forth to the world that the sympathy of that meeting with their falls. brethren was paramount. He conceived th►t the meeting had assembled for two objects. First, it desired to make a well-considered and temperate expremioe of re gret, or he might indeed say remonstrance against the re erection of powder factories so neer populace Realities ; sad they wished also to onsaider the question of lom and compensation, and to come to some decision as to who was responsible.—Mfr. Churchwarden Parish moved the following resolution :—" That the dinette which recently occurred in this neighbourhood proves clearly the impro priety of gunpowder sod expletive material being allowed to be manufactured in the vicinity of populous places, and that communications be made to the Home-office and the licensing magistrates, pointing out the d►nger attending the establishment of gunpowder manufactories and warehouses in such places, and urging the discontinuance of existing licensee, and the refusal to grant any more new licenses for such plum in future."—Mr. Everill seconded the resolution, which was supported by Dr. Hallos and other gaittlemen, sad unanimously adopted.—Captain WIC illop urged the neceseity of more stringent regulations with regard to the removal of powder in barges from the mills to moraines. Them barges ought to be constructed in a peculiarly safe manner, and to have some distinctive sign that they were laden with • dangerous cargo. On the motion of Mr. Everitt, seconded by Mr. Hall, • numerous and influential committee wu ap pointed to carry oat the objects of the meeting. On the motion of Mr. Beadle, it was reed Ted to recommend the committee to represent to the government the massity of enforcing more stringent regulations with respect to the am 'manes of gunpowder by teed and water. The Rev. J. Wood, Mr. Hall, and other gentlemen then addressed the meeting, and • discussion took place repeating the question of compensation to the parties injured, but it was ultimately resolved to adjourn the consideration of the subject notd inquiries bad been made, and legal opinions obtained. Mr. Russell, of Dartford, proposed that • subscriptioe be commemed to raise a fuod,for the sufferers ; but the chair man and others considered that the subject Lad better be deferred for the consideration of an adjourned meeting, as' it was oousected with the question of oompensatioa. It was, then stated that the arm of Masers. Hall bed under taken to provide for the widows and orphans of the men killed ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting was adjourned. With refereoce to the cooditlon of the sufferers the Mow. big particulars have bees furnished as by Mr. 8. Tattier, the house surgeoo at Guy's Hospital : Elizabeth Wright died 10 minutes after admissioo ; James Eves died at four o'clock p.m. on Sunday ; Elie. Osborn is in a very daogerons state. bat still some hops may be entertained of her ultimate re covery. All the others are doing well. There was another accident brought in os Sunday sight. Luigi Lomedi, rod, admitted 12 30 p.m. frail Erith, with a composed frac ture of the thigh just above the kne►joint, arid the whole of his leg below much Iseerated and cootused. He was in a severe state of collapse, being quite told and almost palaeleas. Amputation was requisite, but he could not possibly be prevailed epos to submit—pot that it could have given much chance of hie recovery. He died at 1.16 p.m. Him own account was that he was pushed ander the oarriage whilst it was starting, and that the wheels went over him right lag. There was as error in the name of Dinah Rayner, who is doing well. It should have beset Eliza Osborn, who is is a dangerous state. Mr. and Mee Hall and sever►l friends have been most kind in venting the poor sufferers bringing Gem grapes, kc." The shock of the explosive at Belvedere was distinctly felt ►t the Crystal Palace. On of the sliding doors on the podia side of the building was forced out cf its bearings, and blown inwards ; other door were also forted. The fireman's bell, at the eolith entrance, was loudly twig. Some pictures standing against a wall were thrown flat. Some alarm was felt by the workmen on the roof, and by the gardener■ who were watering the plants inside the nave, from the girders of the Fret stage. Fortunately, however. no more serious consequences followed, and a minute ex'. 111/1111U0111 of the fabric by Mr. Rose, the company's clerk of works, showed that so perceptible injury whatever had been sustained. The smoke of the explosion wee plainly to be seen from the Palace, rising over Shooter's-hill ie the font du gigantic mushroom. TO TUB ZDITOII OF TO EXPIIMOS.

(Orundisburgh is about six miles N. by N.E. of Ipswich.) DRAMA. RAYNABXET. The Italian actress with a French training— lildlle.

Halle. Beatrice, who has appeared at the Odion and the Vaudeville Theatres, and who has played the character, we believe. in French in Paris, made a very favourable impres aim in the part of Gabriella De Belle Isle. Her figure is elope, aad outman/ling, her fan, especially in profile, is very handsome, her eyes end hair are dark, and her pronun ciation of English —a few blemishes excepted—is very good. She has the French style of intonation—the French tremu lous motion of the hands—but her voice is pleasing sad sympathetic. Her chief fault is a certain genteel coldness of manner which is snare reflood than effective. Bbe was very well received and ki•dly encouraged at va. riutts pap* and succeeded in giving an amiable repreeenta- Lion of the character. The Chevalier D'Aubigny—her lover—was played by Mr. W. Farms, who was gentle manly and dignified, but deficient in real passion. Ms. Howe was • hearty representative of the gay Duke do Richelieu—with no more old French style about him than • stets-coachman might have bad. Wes Angel wee somewhat overvreighted as the Marchionees de Valoonr—the clever wife of the Duke, and the vast of the characters wee. judiciously acted. The pie, wee well put upon the stage, and ►he home war crowded. Wile. Beatrice was called on after the third act, and also at the end of the piece, and Mr. Howe, Mr. Farm, and Miss Angel were honoured with • call before the curtain. ADELPHI. The Adelphi opened yesterday evening with the stock comic drama of Good For Nothing, is which Miss Woolsey (Mrs. A. Meßoo) sustained bee original character of "Our Nan." It is almost needess to say that this ac• complished actress gave a perfect reading to the charade". marking with admirable skill that fine distinctioe betwria homelier' and coaneeess, which is so difficult to observe in coooeptions of this kind. Mir Woolgar was in the early scenes quite as comic as the greatest gourmand of broad fan amid desire; whilst towards the end, she elicited the racers and earnest applause of the discriminating portion of the audience by some of those fine touches of hellos and pathos is which since the retirement of Mr.. Rally from the stage, she stands unrivalled. In the sewed and third pieces the new Irish comedian achieved a highly satisfactory sumer. Some years since Mr. Collins obtained oonsidrable favour with London audiences by his performance of P►ul Clifford, and his spirited song of " Harrah for the Road." Since then be has bees starring it in America, and now returns to his old quarters with the mantle of Tyrone Power about his shoulders, and finding it, on the whole, a by no means ill•fitting garment. His became is the Power brogue, and his prate an the Power points, but there is more effort i■ his acting, and scarcely that peculiar drollery of manner which marked Power as the low coniehaa par excellence, independent of all local colour. After a short reams Aatlay's Royal Ampitbastre rworseeed far the seem lass sight, nods circumstances et unusual attrastion. la his preliminary announcement, Mr. K. T. Smith states that he has made arrangements which will be sure to cre►te a world-wide sensation, and there can be no doubt of the entire correctness of his prophecy. The theatre was crowded to excess last night, there being scarcely stead* room m any part, • vast crowd being deters together by the cari osity they felt to' se the difficult part of Ma• repos sustained by • woman ; nor were they disap pointed, for it is but justice to Miss Adah J.

Os the conclusion of each het, sad there are three, Mr. Smith sod Miss Menkee were called before the curtain aid received the plaudits of the house. though some little laughter was sated b► the evident necessity the lady was under to conceal her Mazeppa costume (or rather so cos tume) under the folds of • cloak, the exigencies of the piste sot giving her time to change it.

We mast not emit to mention the very creditable way in which the character of Abder Khan was represented by Mr. Sam. Emery, and Oasis, by Mime Lucy Lusbtoo. The minor oharaotwe were also well sustained. The piece, together with the humorous little trifle by which it was preceded.
