The house was full, the audience was enthunastici end the new comedy, Plajfiey Inds For, the production of which has been looked forward to in theatrical circles with some curiosity, wee a decided enema Written by Mr. John Brougham. and originally produced in America, this comedy MN heralded by the prey, in that hype:bob& animate so dear to our trans atlantic °maim, as a marvel of dramatic genius ; and though experience has taught us generally to receive American expression. of opinion cam gown°, sod though in this particular instancs we are unable to Mamie their verdict to the uttermost, it must be allowed that the pins is clever, smart, well put together, very amusing, aad will probably peeve way atliventhers. Pleameneseili /ire hes this fault in common with most plays of recent date claiming to be cotaedies, that they are rather a aeries of farcical opisodee—indeed, the situation at the end of the fourth act has beau exceeded in absunlity by the most boisterous writer for the Adelphi stage ; but it powwows the merit of bar* these episodes ingeniously strung together, whde the dialogue, though Dever striving to be witty, nor to deal in that crackling antithesis and sharp repartee which the late Mr. Jerrold alone could write, sad which every body since his day has attempted, is smart and pointed, and shows on the pert of its author a thorou;;h appreciation of fun. RAILWAY POINTS.—YOII know, my friend, what is meat by the points upon a railway. By moving a lever, the rails upon which the train is advancing me, at • oer tale place, broadened or narrowed by about the eMbth of en inch. flat little movement decides whether the train shall go north or month. Twenty carriage, have come so far together ; but here is a junction station, and the train is to be divided. The first tcu carriages deviate from the main line by a fraction of an inch at find ; but in a few minutes the two portions of the train are flying on, miles apart. You cannot see the one from the other, ease by distant puffs of white steam through the clamps of tree. Perhaps already • high bill has intervened, and each train is on its solitary way—one to end its course, after some hours, amid the roar and musks and liars ugliest* of Naas hugs thanufartariug town ; and the other to come through green fields to the quaint, quiet, dreamy-looking little city. whose place is marked, across the plain, by the noble spire of the grey cathedral rising into the summer blue. We come to such points in our journey through life—railway points (as it were) which decide not merely our lot in life, but even what sort of folk we shall be, morally and intel lectually. A hairsbreadth may make the deviation at first. Two situations are offered you at once ; you think there is hardly anything to choose between them. It does not matter which you accept ; end perhaps some slight and fanciful consideration is allowed to turn the sale. lint now you look back, and you can see that there was the turning point in your life . • it was because you went them to the right , and not to th e left, that you are now a mat English prelate, and not a humble Scoteb professor. Was there not a time in a certain great man's life, at which the lines of rail diverged, and at which the question was eetified, should he be a minister of the *etch Kirk, or should he be Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain? lan imagine • stage in the history of • lad in a counting-house, at which the little angle of rail may be pushed in or pushed hack that shall send the train to one of two places five hundred miles asunder; it may depend upon whether he shall take or not take that half-crown, whether, thirty years after, he shall be taking the chair, • rubicund baronet, at a missionary society meeting, and receive the commendations of philan thropic peers and earnest bishops, or be labouring in chains at Norfolk Island, • brutalised, cursing, hardened , scourge' scarred, despairing wretch, without • hope for this life or the other. Oh, how much may turn upon a little thing ! 'rarer's Maga:int for October. Playoroara Music.—While we aro on thel sub ject of the pianoforte, we would not lose the opportunity at raising our voice against the wretched and unworthy style of music which is now so much in vogue for this In. ointment at boartiorachools and other places where they learn to play. W; anode to that anseiPhens, seratehr, fantastical style of esespeeitlso (if we may se debase the word), the weeneetd which eonsista in torturing scraps of airs into a wild, lawien-scarurn filagree of notes, scattered about the it, in a manner so utterly unmeaning as only tei excite ridicule or disgust, instead of pleasure, in sey well-regulated musical mind. Music this is not ;it is sot written by musicians, nor played, as • matter of choice, by musicians either ; and it m rather puzzling to conceive bow, in the face of the great body of excellent and intel ligent teachers we have, it can hire come into um. Pro bably Tbalberg would be quoted as its . originator, but this is a libel on him : his moue, though quite novel, and more free in style than any that had gone before, was still intelligible and rational music ; this is music run mad ; and we can ouly account for its existence by supposing it to be the production of authors who an incompetent to produce any proper music, and 00 fill the sheets of their puidishen with rubbish of this kind. It is, we suppose, a fashion which young ladies fall into, Mb crinoline or the imitation of the pretty horse.breals th er r end which will in due time coins toan sod. But we warn _ fiat the prevalence le drawing-rooms of thi s deplor e e style of playing is fart becoming unendurable ; and we are apt, on hearing of the profitless difficulties of the pieces, to exclaim, with Dr. Johnson, " Difficult: I wish they were impossible'" Ws are not among the cynics who would soodema littlegirleto play Beethoven's "Sonatas" and Men ibieseita's " Lteder." Let us have gay, even trivial, if you le i se that it be music, and not empty imposture. We Mel ilea with pleasure to the " Pluie des Perles" for the thenimmdth time, or to the " Dizey's Land Polka," under the load ..f a little maiden of six, with infinitely greater than • modern " brilliant fantasia " which bar tea:l: to regulation young lady a quarter of finishing lesson, to learn, and which, when done, being totally devoid of either melody, harmony, or rhythm, has no legitimate claim to be called music at all.—Macsaillaies Aloya2ine for October. A LUNCH •FTER A GREAT RACE.—For real, slaosh, predatory, rapacious feeding, commend me to the Inch after a great race. Them is every variety of excite swat to sharpen awl heighten the appetite You are out ter a holiday, to begin with, and are partaking of fare to wide\ you are not accustomed; for few people are so Apielea or Lueullice in their ways as to cram themselves all the year round with the good things they consume on a Derby or Ascot Cup Day. if you have won you eat *ad drink tremendously, of course. If you have lost, you eat for spite and drink for despair, likewise tremendously, mid equally of course. If the weather be fine, what can there be more pleasant than to see the sun making the sparkling Skeen* wore sparkling, and tipping the crisp lettuce-leaves with diamond sparks! If it be wet, there is some con solation ha cowering under a phaeton hoed to enmesh chicken bones, or gorging pigeon-pie in the finis clog of a dreg. Thee you are continuall under a nervous spore heneloe—by no meow devoid o f pleasurable sensationa— that the gipsim sad tramps will run away with tallith. thins eat of 1110 hamper • that the evilly-dispo sed will steel the Eat doab le-handled silver taakard or disowns p ; Mat all tha glasses will be broken, and the ins. fork', and napkins m ; that the post-boys—who are in a fair way already —will got hopelessly inebriated ; and that everything you have sates or drool will disagree with you to-morrow morning. There is but one little drawback to the varied excitements of a race comae lunch, and that is, to hod when feeding-time has arrived that your hamper has been cut away from the back of your carriage, and that, unless you choose to jogai* your way to • horrible booth, into which • lady cannot enter, and where you pay half-a-crown for a bone sod some beer. slope, there Is no lunch and no dinner for you at aIL Temple Bar for September. A foul deed was committed this morning in BiWon. A tradesman in Chunl-street, named John Bagott, was deliberately murdered in his own house, and his premises were plundered and fired. The victim was a Mr. Begat, who carried on business as a tailor and clothier at the corner of Stafford-street. At about four in the mornintihe family of Mr. Beard, of that street , were dis turbed hearing voices in the side passage of their house, and thin 'rag it was her brother returning home, Miss Beard went down with a light. In the pa s sage she stumbled upon some bundles of cloth and men's new gar ments. Her brother happened to be coming down the street at the lame time, and he saw three men carrying a bundle. leformation was at once conveyed to the police station, and it was soon discovered that Mr. Bagott's house. situate opposite to that of lir. Beard, had been entered. The officers found a little gas burning in the small sitting room on the ground floor, numerous bottles and drinking. on the table, and the body of a man lying with has Eati s l e :in the fender, in front of the fire, with a poker across his throat. His face was discoloured with soot, and the policemen at first thought that the body was that of a burglar, but on turning on the light it was found that it was the proprietor of the house. He had been dragged to the ground and forcibly held down in the position in which he was found till life was extinct. Mr. flagon, was a bachelor, * years of age, and, though possessed of considerable property, lived alone. His habits were some what eccentric. He always carried the keys of his upper rooms and the day's receipts of his shop about with him. He kept a banking account both at Dudley and at Billiton, and the premises in which he lived and those adjoining belonged to him. He bad been known to produce as large a sum as 200 f., which there was reason to believe bud been secreted in out-of-the-way pieces, like the sacking of a bed, or beneath • " quarry "or stens of the floor. Of all tfals the murderers seem to have been aware, for the pockets of the dead man's trowere had been torn open with much violence. His keys were all laid upon the table, but the money was taken away. The burglars had forced open the doors of the upstairs rooms with a heavy coal hammer. In a similar manner access had been had to the drawers and the ash boa, and the bed had been tossed over. There is no means of ascertaining the amount of the booty that the villains had found. A fire of paper and linen had been made in the grate, and the embers had fallen out upon the carpet, which had ignited. Happily the watchfulness of the police is likely to prevent this fearful crime from falling into the list of " mysterious " murders. Several burglaries Lave re cenUy been committed in the district. The police believed they knew the offenders ; and last night Superintendent M'Crea had taken steps to arrest one of the caw. Shortly after the three ineu spoken of were disturbeal in Staff ord stnset, three men carrying a bundle were stopped near Bradley, which adjoins &lathe. When challenged by the policeman they threw down the bundle and decamped. The officer pursued them a short way, but wisely returned to the spot where the property fell. Whilst watching here • man named William Joe's, aged 2U, of Canal•street, Tipton, returned, and fell into the officer's clutches. The bundle contained property that had no doubt been just stolen from the house of the murdered man. Snowing Joues's haunt, the officers proceeded to a brothel in Bury-yard, kept by Samuel Bills, aged 25. Here they found Thomas Jukes, aged 28, who is well known to the polies. He had just come is, had blood upon the front of his shirt, and seemed greatly agitated when the officers appeared. Bills was also apprehended, and so was Thus. Lilley, aged 24, a chapman, well known in Birmingham. for be too was in the house. The last two it is thought may be able to give evidence of a cor roborative nature agaimit the others, respecting whom the police entertain little doubt. Jokes is one of the three who ran from the constable at Bradley, and the third is supposed to be David Brandrick, a puddler, aged about 21. PARIS, fiarramtr Erman. A semi-official Austrian corresponduice, which is accepted as in this instance credible by the Corre spondence Bother, states that when the King of Prussia was first invited to Compiegne be objected that the visit would interfere with his coronation, and had, therefore, perhaps, better be adjourned till the spring. But Napoleon 111. renewed his in. vitation with much urgency, alleging that he wished to confer with the King upon matters of pressing importance, and at the sante time he requested the King of the Belgians to use his influence to obtain a favourable answer from the King of Prussia. Leopold acceded tothe Emperor's request, and hence the visit of neat week, which so far from being a mere return call is, if we are to fall in with the idea now sought to be diffused in France, one of high import and signifi cance . Buhier throws out a hint that the Emperor means to propose a general dis armament—of course, as I take upon myself to add, under conditions which there is no chance of any power accepting. It is further stated that a special Swiss envoy will take the opportunity of asking the King to act as mediator 111 the present unhappy difference between France and Switzerland. Apropos of Switzerland, I notice in the Candi-. hitionnel a paragraph, which if it be not, as I be lieve it to be, altogether false- sad' asludinicsui, de scribes a state of society at Geneva of the existence of which all the world, including the numberless. English tourists who are there at this time of the year, has hitherto had no suspicion. The Consti tutionnel says, in candid and considerate phrase Mrs. worthy of Candour : Correspondence from divers same% which we have hitherto declined to use as being improbable, has for some time past informed us of a must painful state of things at Geneva. We can now no longer refuse to believe the evi dence which presses upon tut It appears that the diettuited. state of men's minds is Geneva has been followed by dis turbances in the streets. The police seems impotent to maid the force of had passion. In such aad situation there is no security tor human life ; it is even said that anybody may get rid of a political adversary for the small sum of 5 francs, and that the Rhone or the lake are the frequent and mute accomplice!' of murders.

It will readily be understood that such a Mate of things compromises Many interests ; and we learn that 7,000 operatives are out of work' in the canton. This is a very extraordinary atatemeot in a journal which has so recently repudiated the offi cial character of the Patric, iu terms implying that it has a monopoly of authorised information itself. Assuming it to be true that three dead bodies have been found in Geneva within six weeks—that fact scarcely warrants the conclusion that munler is more rife there than in other parte of the weld, and certainly affords no ground for the moral which I suppose the Cuasfitutionuel would infer, namely, that immediate annexation to France is necessary to protect the dwellers in Geneva from amamination. The ill success of the Constihrtionne/ whenever it attempts to stay a panic at the Bourse has become proverbial, and it has not had better luck than usual to-day. The Ratite, after a momentary rise of a few centimes, gave way, and closed with a fall of 10c. for cash and 20c. for account, at 68.70 and 68.65. This makes a fall of I per cent. in three days. A disastrous settlement is anticipated at the end of the month. It has transpired that the bullion of the Bank of France, instead of being. as the. Cotistitutionsel says, 3611 millions, is at the present moment not more thin UV millions, radii is thought highly probable that the discount will be raised to 6 per cent. next week. Mobilier fell 8.75 ; Credit Fonder, 10f. ; the Orleans Railway fell 8.75 • Northern, 1.25 ; Eastern, 2.50 ; and the three other great lines about bf. As an illustration of the immense importations of grain lately effected by France, it is stated that a firm at Marseilles, that of M. Elio Petit, has made in brokerage alone above 60,0001. sterling this year. The Temps is advised from Marseilles that K Rattazzi, who some people look upon as the des tined successor of Baron RiCaSOli, may be expected in Paris early in October. The Memorial des Pyrinies reports as great news from Biarritz that the Emperor has determined to make a harbour of refuge there at an expense of four millons of franca. The piece had the advantage of being extremely wall acted ; indeed, it is seldom that a better impersonation than that given by Mr. Brougham himself is seen on our stage. Thoroughly at sew and never forgetting that he was a gen. tlemao, he imbued the character of Dr. Ravage with a pleasant veracity and an odd quaint occasional eccentricity of nervoueness, which were at the gams time natural and highly hammer, and at seek times the least touch of brogue Savour* his lesigenge cionsidetahly heightened the effect.

The piece, then, was decidedly successful It had been played to a delighted Manchester audience some weeks eines, bet it needed the stamp of metropolitan approval. That approval it has received ; the verdict was given not in the rentant recalls and the noisy demonstrations of injudi cious birds, but in the genuine applause and hearty laugh. tot of the general public. One or two slight alterations might improve it, but they are en slight that it is hardly sessesary be suggest them. Mr. Brougham is now domiciled maw us. and ►is first success should tempt him to further offers. The scenery and appointments were in 'monistic° with Mr. Harris's usual taste. Kiamil Bey has arrived in Paris on a mission extraordinary from the Sultan. ITALY. The Ecu di Bologna gives some particular,' re garding the bread riot which took plats) at Bologna on the 23rd. A mob having assembled on the market-place with vociferous cries for cheap food, they soon attacked the carts and stalls of the market people, and took pow:elision of the provi sions, arbitrarily fixing their own price for them. Butter, grapes, and fruit were taxed in the same manner, but as they wanted to do the same with maccaroni and breadstuffs the vendors shut up their shops. This irritated the mob, and the few carbineers and policemen who had been sent to the spot were unable to restore order, and one man was disarmed. The multitude then pro ceeded to the governor's palace, and insisted upon en tering ; the national guard endeavoured to persuade thew to desist but as their words were not attended to some soldiers of the line were sent out to repel the people. This caused great noise and agitation ; the military were hissed, but the troops being re called the crowd dispersed into the streets, exciting the lower orders to make common cause with them, and shortly afterwards they returned to the palace with national banuers, and renewed the tumult. At this moment bill-stickers wore engaged in post ;no the fni IM , Antl nroclamation from +hp Tu teudant-General : Bolognese,—l recommend you to respect the law.

Thus, and an address to the people from the municipality, conceived in a still more moderate tone, were torn down with hisses and cries, after which the populace dispersed of its own accord. But in the evening a rumour became current that a body of armed peasants was coining by railway, which caused a crowd to assemble at the Galliera gate. A detachment of cavalry was sent to summon the crowd to disperse ; but the military being hissed, made the people take refuge under the por ticoes. Many arrests were made, and were con tinued on the following morning, while attempts were being made to renew the scenes of the pre ceding day. All the ringleaders are now in the hands of the authorities, and some of them have bean sent off to the fortresses in the old provinces.

The police authorities of Salford have taken a step which is likely to result in ascertaining the legality, or otherwise, of some recent attempts to push the business of persons known as "list men" on nice-coons'. On Saturday six men, who had been apprehended the day previous at the Manchester races, were brought before Mr. Trafford, at the Salford police-court, charged with offences under the accusedt-bouee Act. The names given by atewere—Joseph Lyons, 4, Great Clowes street, traveller; Hyman Lyons, Beverley, York shire, traveller ; Thomas Buckley, Booth-street, Man cheater, traveller; Walter Gregory, Nottingham, traveller; Francis Lees, Nottingham, lace maker ; and Henry Lynch, Blessom.streek .Manchipter. shoemaker. The prosecutioo was condoled by Mr. B the tow s sleek of Salfori4 under the Act lbth and 17th eets, Vic., e. 119, which makes liable the owner or occupier of any "house, office, room, or place, opened, kept, or used" for the purposes of betting ; or who shall "receive, directly or indirectly, any money," &c.., as a "deposit on any bet on condition of paying," &c., upon any race. Mr. Ernest i 011•11, barrister, appeared for the defence. From the evidence of Mr. Taylor, the chief coustalde of Salford, and two detective officers of the borough, named Holliorake end Hargraves, it appeared that the six men were taken into custody on Friday afternoon, after the third race on the Manchester course. The two named Lyons, who are brothers, had paid N. each to the keeper of a refreshment-booth, named Jackson, for leave to carry on their transactions at a window ot the booth, the men standing inside. Buckley, Gregory, and Lees had a slight wooden framework or box on the course, within which one man could stand on • little eleva tion, to receive mousy, while a book-keeper end ticket-mss could be concealed behiud some carpet or drapery Attached to the framework. Lynch and another Dian who had escaped capture hail a &Welles of similar construction ; and there wore a considerable number of others at different points of the course. The standings, one of which was pro duced in court, were made so as to be set up or taken down readily, by means of a few iron pins, and would pack in • small compass. The mode of doing business was to exhibit a list of horses before each race, and to call out the odds, any money offered being received, sod the beta entered in a book opposite a number which corre sponded to that of a ticket issued to the person with whom the odds are laid. Mr. Taylor bad previously cautioned the men now charged, and as many others as possible, that the system would not be allowed, and that a doe not exceeding 1001. might be the penalty. The capture and seizures ware made by Mr. Taylor aod about • doses of his officers, who took the men to the Salford Town-ball, where they were liberated on bail until Saturday. One of the lists of the third race was found torn up and thrust bereath the counter of one of the @Muds ; and a list of the fourth race, which was beiug exhibited at the time the apprehension took place, was snatched down and destroyed by one of the prisoners. Mr. Ernest Jones endeavoured to show that the "places" at which the men were engaged were not such ea to come within the meaning of the act referred to, and that there was not sufficient proof given that the money which the officers saw posing was laid on bets. Mr. Trafford said there was no doubt in his mind as to the points raised by Mr. Jones, but he considered it • very proper cue to go before a superior oourt, and . he would weeks 'edict the lowest penalty-23!. or six ' impmionment— giviug the men the right of appeal. Lynch was discharged, the evidence against him being defective. Notice of appeal was then given ; sod Mr. Jones asked what would be the amount of recoguizances Mr. Trafford—Oh, that's of no consequence to your clients. (A laugh.) When they were taken into custody on Friday, the men ut••••• 6.4.1. Gregory 651. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A LIVERPOOL TRADESMAN.— Os Friday Mr. Joshua Wa'milky, a boob:ogler in Lord. street, and one of the most respected tradesmen in the town, was knocked down by an omnibus in front of his shop, and died in a short time afterwards. &ermine RAILWAY& —Oti Friday the half-yearly meeting of the North British Company was held at Edin burgh. A dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum was declared, and resolutious were agreed to winctioniug the proposed amalgamation with the Edinburgh. Perth, and Dundee Company on the terms we have already re:blished. Mr. Nitwit, of Jedburrh, writer, then moved, "That a passenger train be ran ta and front the Jedburgh Station on the morning and evening of the Sundays, in the same way and manner as is done on other parts of the system." After an animated discussion there appeared for the motion 37 voters represeatiog 1193 votes, and against it 38 voters repro , seating 5 2 votes. The resolution was, therefore, declared to be carried. At a special meeting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway Company, held on the ',Arne do, the motion for the amalgamation with the North British was curried by 8,208 votes against 887.

RECRUITS AND THEIR KITS. Royal High ness the General Commanding•in-Chief has issued an order directing that, with reference to his circular memorandum of the 28th August, it may be understood that recruits join ing in the first half of the military year will not be entitled to the extra issue of boots or trousers until the commence ment of the tint military year after their enlistment ; and that recruita joiniog in the latter half will nut receive the extra articles until the commencement of the second military ear after their enlistment. The compensa tion artic les which make amends for the lose of this boon are often of indifferent quality—the rutine of quarter masters' stores, or accumulations from the kits of soldiers deceased and deserted. It certainly is a pity that no circular according a boou to the service ever issues from the Horse Guards without some unhappy orritiv pens& following it soon after, much crippling its benefiting action, and scraping away a good deal of the olt off the gingerbread. So far as our own experience goes, if there be one time more than another when a soldier requires a little extra assistance in his clothing, it is just dung his apprenticeship, when he goes through the crushing mill of the drill-sergeanta to fi ne him down to the finished duty man.

STRAND. At this theatre, on Saturday evening, a new burlesque was produced. Pions of this nature are said to he only tolerated elsewhere; they are expected and fostered at thin holm, and they are always eacceasseo. There is, therefore, no opening for criticism, even if it were appro priate or deserved. The burlesques here are of their own school ; they appeal to no outside standard ; the audiences delight in them, and the actors seem to like them ; and this mutual determination to be pleased settles the ques tion. Even if there was nothing on the stage to provoke mirth, a casual visitor might gather infinite amusement from the way in which the spect•tors, who know their round and what it produce., dell with owed Mr. H. J. Byron 's extravaganzas. They watch for every audacious pun, so pointedly delivered by the performers, and tint uttering a loud "Oh !" of incredulity, they bunt into highly appreciative laughter, while every super-grotesque situation wins ita reward of hearty mirth. On this occa sion all the characteristics of actors and audience were brought into play by the new piece liy the " old offender," as he cells himself, Mr. Byron, end which is entitled L'Arntreda, or Mr Sensation Goat. Every one known the ballet which Carlotta Grisi and Perrot roads famous, and souse may have seen ILO acting drama foliated also ova Victor Hugo a tale. It is only seminary then to any that to as greet an extent as in mmpatlible with the exigencies of biolesque, the story is followed his.. 3.

The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR presided, and the newly-apoointed sheriffs took their meta for the first time in their official capacity. Kr. Alderman Wiusou made a motion thnt the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting of this court, and also those of the Court of Common Council, should be discos. tinued in future unless required by any member of the court. After • short discussion, however, the motion was with drawn. Mr. Alderman HALE presented a petition from the in habitants of Watling-street, praying the court to remove a 011111111C0 created by cart• being allowed to stand there. Referred to the Geoeral Purposes Committee. Mr. Alderman SAI.OIION3 calied the attention of the court to the fact that he had been informed by Mr. Martin, the chief clerk, while sitting in his magisterial capacity at Guild ball, theta magistrate had no power to commit a boy under fourteen years of age to • reformatory, and that he could only do so, as the law at present stood, by committing him to the Old Bailey. He thought it very desirable that the magistrates should have this power, and a case had re cently been brought before him where he should certainly have exercised it if be could have done so. He suggested, therefore, that the subject should be referred to the General Purposes Committee. Alderman DALIN said that in a short time • scheme would be carried out by which a portion of the revenues of Bride well Hospital would be appropriated to the extension of the King Edward Schools, and the magistrates of the City of London would have en opportunity of seeding • certain number of boys to that school, which would be used as a re formatory. As this was the case, the worthy &Merman would probably consider that it was unnecessary to adopt the pro ceeding he suggested. After a few words from Alderman SALOIIOIIB the motion was agreed to. A diseneniou then took place upon some private matter, with closed doom, after which the court adjourned. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR..
