OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice 'Williams.) THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH. Mr. Coeper, on the part of the father of Eugenie Plum mer, again applied to the Court to be allowed to put in bail to meet the charge. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, who appeared for Mr. Hatch, ob jected to such a course; it was of the utmost importance to Mr. Hatch, whose character had been so much injured, that the trial should be proceeded with this session, on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Mr. Cooper said that the bill had only been found on Tuesday evening, and he only received a copy of the indict ment yesterday. Mr. Justice Williams said he thought the learned counsel on the part of Mr. Plummer was entitled to his application. The trial was then postponed until next session. THE PLATE ROBBERY IN PORTMAN-SQUARE. The trial of Schleigel, who stands indicted for stealing a large quantity of plate, amounting in value to upwards of £l,OOO, and also for violently assaulting the butler, was postponed until next session. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Francis Barrett, a boy about 14 years of age, was in dicted for violently assaulting a police constable in the City force, 414. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted and Mr. Doyle defended. The evidence showed, that in the early part of March the prisoner was convicted at the Mansion-House for picking pockets, and was sentenced to a month's imprison ment. The prosecutor was in charge of the dock on that occasion, and after the boy had received his sentence 'he was conveying him down stairs, when he availed himself of an opportunity and kicked the officer violently in the lower part of the body in such a violent manner that insensibility was produced. A cab was procured, and the officer was conveyed to Bar tholomew's Hospital, when the injuries turned out of a very serious description, so much so that fatal consequences were at one time anticipated. Per the last month the prosecutor had been, and still was, an in-patient of the hospital. One of the house surgeons of the hospital described the injuries, which were of a very serious description. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentenced deferred. THE REVIVAL RIOT AT CAMBERWELL. Patrick Halpin, 26, labourer, was indicted for the man slaughter of Bartholomew Courtney. Mr. M`Donnell prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson defended the prisoner. The following witnesses were called to prove the case : Johanna Fitzgerald said—l reside in Thomas-street, Camberwell. I knew the deceased. He lodged with me. I recollect his returning home on the Bth of March, at about 11 o' clock. I noticed that night he was very intoxicated. He went to bed immediately. He got up the next morning, had his breakfast and went out. He returned that evening about five o'clock in a very bad condition. All his clothes seemed torn off him. He was drunk, and cried very much. He was in bed the whole of the next day. On Wednesday the doctor came to see him. On Friday I thought he would be better in the workhouse, and I got the order signed for his admission, and on taking it back to the house for them to send a chair for him, I returned home and found him dead. Mary Bigman—l saw the deceased kicked by the prisoner from the Windmill publichouse, Wyndham-road, Camberwell, on Sunday, the Bth of March. I also saw him kick the man in the mouth while he was lying in the road. The deceased seemed per fectly stunned after he had been kicked. There was a great number of persons round the publichouse at the time. I have no doubt about the prisoner being the m an w h o kicked Courtney. _ _ Maria Bennett also gave evidence as to the quarrelling in the publichouse. Mr. Chabot, a surgeon, said—l saw the deceased ear l y i n March. He was lying in bed, complaining of pain s a ll over him. I observed a black eye. I asked him if he had been fighting, and whether he had been kicked or jumped upon. He replied, " Yes ; he had been so injured in his stomach." I felt his stomach, and found it tender. I prescribed medicine, and made arrangements for him to go into the workhouse. I told him he could not get proper attention out of the house. I called the next morning and found him in the same state; on the Friday I found him dead, IR my judgment he died from inflammation of the stomach and bowels, caused by external violence. Internal causes might have caused the appearance of the intestines. Rupture of the liver or bladder would produce it. On the post mortem examination I found peritonites without any anatomical causes for it. There was no appearance of ex ternal violence. The foreman of the jury said they were quite satisfied, and were in a position to return a verdi c t. ___. . _ _ The learned Judge recalled several of witnesses, but with the exception of Bigman, none of them saw the pri soner kick the deceased. Bigman, upon being questioned, could not tell what foot it was that the prisoner injured the man with. A verdict of not guilty was then returned. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) CHARGE OF MISAPPROPRIATING SHIRES. William Francis Vandervell was indicted for that he, being trustee of certain property—to wit, 105 shares in a certain undertaking called the London and Westminster Bank, value £4,ooo—for the benefit of Ann Bruce Bor land and others, did unlawfully convert and appropriate the samo to his own use with intent to defraud. He was also charged that he being a trustee of certain stock in the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, value £250, for the benefit of Ann Bruce Borland and others, did un lawfully convert and appropriate the same to his own use with intent to defraud. Mr. Metcalf prosecuted, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh defended. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C,, said the defendant was desirous of withdrawing the plea of not guilty with regard to the mis appropriation of London and Brighton and South Coast Railway Stock, on the understanding that the other part of the indictment relative to the shares of the London and Westminster Bank should be post poned until next session. The proceedings he believed were instituted under the Trustee Act, and as he believed there was no wish to press with extreme harshness, he should abstain, on that occasion, from making any observa tions with respect to the charge. On another occasion he should he in a position to go fully into the case, which was one, surrounded by great difficulties, and also have in at tendance a number of gentlemen of the greatest respectabi lity, who would give their testimony as to the high charac ter of the defendant. He did not expect there would be any objection to admit the defendant to bail. Mr. Metcalf, for the prosecution, said he had no objection to the course proposed, provided the defendant entered into sureties to the amount of £2,000. The defendant was then directed to put in bail to the amount required, vis., one surety in the sum of £l,OOO, and two of £5OO each, giving 48 hours' notice to the pro secution, POLICE INTELLIGENCE, —(This Day.) THAMES. A BAD LOT.—George Warner, aged 53, and described as a general dealer, of No. 25, New-street, New Kent-road was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a dress value 305., the property of Mary Ann Allman. The prosecutrix, a tall, showily-dressed woman, stated that she had been lodging in the prisoner's house, and having determined to return to Scotland, of which place she was a native, she went on board a steamer bound to Leith, yesterday, and paid the fare for her passage to that place. The prisoner accomnanied her, and assisted in tak ing the luggage out of the cab which conveyed them to the St. Katherine's-wharf. While she was on board the steamer making some arrangements, the prisoner absconded with one of her dresses, worth 305., which he immediately afterwards pawned at a pawnbroker's shop in High• street, Whitechapel. The prisoner, in defence, admitted that he had pawned the dress for 108., and he had a right to do so, for the woman owed him £3 for board and lodging, and was a thief her self. Mr. Selfe—That is no reason you should pawn her dress. The prisoner—She was before your worship at the Lam beth police-court on Tuesday, and you were about to fully commit her for trial, but the man she robbed would not prosecute. _ . The prosecutrix—l did not rob the man. Mr. Selfe—l believe you did. You were found concealed on the roof of the house where the robbery was committed. The prisoner—She is going off to Scotland because she has committed so many robberies, and the police will not allow her to walk about the streets. Mr. Selfe—You are a bad lot. The woman is a thief, and something worse ; and you, the prisoner, keep a house of bad repute. I fine the prisoner 50s. for pawning the dress illegally, and in default of payment fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.— The Chance, 972 tons, belonging to Messrs. Coltart, of Liverpool, sailed from Southampton on Tuesday, with Go vernment emigrants for Sydney, New South Wales. She took out 28 married couples, 137 single men, 105 single women, 23 boys and 31 girls between one and 12 years of age, and six infants, being a total of 358 souls, eq ua l t o 325 , statute adults. The emigrants are under the care of Sur- ' geon-Superintendent J. C. Sanger, Mr. H. Spicer acting as 1 schoolmaster, and Miss Richardson as matron. THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP,----LIVER POOL, Wednesday.—A rumour spread rapidly throughout the town to-day to the effect that the match betwee n Sayers and Heenan for the championship had come off this morn ing, and that after a 20 minutes' encounter it'was gained by Sayers. From the necessity of keeping th e t i me and place of battle a secret, except with the few, many persons 144 Y9 given credit to the rumour, 4'PORTING INTELLIGENCE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. About an average supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's market, in but middling condition. All breeds moved off heavily, at barely Monday's quotations. We have to report a dull sale for sheep. In prices, however, no change took place. The show of lambs was very limited for the time of year, and the demand for them was extremely astire, at from 6s to fully 7s 8d per 81b. About 400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.

LITERATURE. A Story about Riflemen and Rifles. By Neyland TliOnaton. London : Whitiaker and Co. At a time when the independence of Switzerland is threatened by the aggressive policy of the French Emperor, a history of the struggle for freedom in the Tyrol at the b eg i nn i ng of the present century cannot but be acceptable to the public. This little work treats exclusively of the events of that time, and, much information respecting the history of the Swiiss patriots Hofer, Spechbachcr, and Haspinger, is to be gathered from its pages. The accounts of the engagements are well written, and the geogra phical knowledge of the writer enables him to de scribe the marches, manoeuvres, and positions of the troops and patriots succinctly and clearly. Colburn's New Monthly Magazine. —A compari son of the relative capabilities of the French and the Austrian armies is the first subject that meets the reader. It is justly observed that one great evil in the Austrian army is the variety of nation alities and tongues. The German phrases required for drill are learnt by rote, and the officers are bound to speak the Imperial language. But it is easy to imagine what confusion must result from the difference of language in the course of a cam paign, and most especially on the day of battle where sudden commands or changes in the plan of action may be necessary. Still greater must be the disadvantage of the antagonistic spirit existing in many of the races, and the want of vitality and energy in their warfare is readily accounted for by the lack of a common purpose and the absence of a uniting sympathy. The French, besides being ani mated by a nationalfeeling and common cause, do not labour under the same disadvantage with respect to language. " The language is the same throughout the army, and though the Basque peasant may not understand the Alsatian or the Breton, their sons all speak the same written French more or less correctly, and can impart their views and supposi tions to each other." Mrs. Bushby, who appears to be well acquainted with colonial life, gives us the first part of a West Indian sketch, with the agreeable title of " The Belles of the Island." The interesting story of " East Lynne" is, however, the chief attraction in fiction. It continues at some length, and, in accordance with the author's love of the hor rible, the corpse of the Earl of Mount Severn is arrested a day or two after his death by some un scrupulous creditors. Poor Lady Isabel is left absolutely penniless, reduced to accepting a home and pecuniary aid from her cousins, one of whom at least is not much inclined to bestow it. Mr. Carlyle proves himself a true and faithful friend, and we may anticipate some interesting chapters, as the mystery connected with Richard Hare is not yet unravelled. We suspect the military admirer of Lady Isabel will be proved to have been implicated in the murder. The Emperor Frederick the Second occupies the twenty-eighth number of Sir Nathaniel's Notes on Note-Worthies. His character being little known to the general reader itttests the essay with some interest. Cyrus Redding, the veteran contributor to the pages of the New Monthly, furnishe s an ar ti c l e on Pope and Boling broke. It is a brief sketch of the two illustrious friends, and chiefly relates to some passages in Mr. Rose's Diaries. The Wine Question Li discussed at length, and the qualities and prices of wines in the different European States are cited. W. C. Kent contributes a graceful adaptation of a poem by Victor Hugo, and papers on Lord Dundonald's Autobiography and Marine Artillery will attract the naval reader. Macmillan's Magazine. This comparatively new magazine continues with spirit. The Rev. F. D. Maurice is the author of the opening paper, which is a lengthened essay on the " Revision of the Prayer Book." The opinions of the writer on this subject do not seem to be very clear, but he strongly objects to the maintenance of the Act of Uniformity. " Some Recollections of an Old Street," is the title of a graphic descrip tion of a quaint old-fashioned thoroughfare, with its pump and its haunted house and other charac• teristic peculiarities. The author of " John Hali fax " contributes an essay on " A Hedge-side Poet," one James Withers, a Cambridgeshire labouring man, whose poems have been published by subscription. Many of the verses here quoted show taste and talent, and are highly creditable to the author considering his circumstances ; but we wonder that the critic should have selected for especial commendation the " Song of the Butter fly," which bears such a striking likeness to Ten nyson's " Brook." A prominent feature in the magazine is, of coarse, the continuation of " Tom Brown at Oxford." It is a satisfaction to find when you begin to read a university story that it is written by an author well acquainted with college life, and not by one who having, during some part of his existence, spoken to a few under-graduates, and perhaps visited Oxford or Cambridge, considers himself competent to enter into detail on matters of which he is ignorant. The author of " Tom Brown at Oxford" is at home in his subject. His description of a boat-race is excellent, the anxiety of the cap tain, and the discontent of the crew after a failure, the resignation of a rated member, the watchful ness of the university coxswain to pick out the best oars in the leading boats, are all depicted to the life. The final struggle between the St. Ambrose and Oriel boats for tbs head of the river is thus described :—" Another fifty yards and Oriel is safe, but the look on the captain's face is so ominous that their coxswain glances over his shoulder. The bow of St. Ambrose is within two feet of their rudder. It is a moment for desperate expedients. He pulls his left tiller rope suddenly, thereby carrying the stern of his own boat out of the line of the St. Ambrose, and calls on her crew once more ; they respond gallantly yet, but the rudder is against them for a moment, and the boat drags. St. Ambrose overlaps. " A bump, a bump," shout the St. Ambrosians on the shore. "Row on, row on," screams Miller. He has not yet felt the electric shock, and knows he will miss his bump if the young ones slacken for a moment. A young coxswain would have gone on making shuts at the stern of the Oriel boat, and so have lost. A bump now, and no mistake ; the bow of the St. Ambrose boat joins the oar of the Oriel stroke, and the two boats pass the winning-post with the way that was on them when the bump was made, so near a shave was it." The succeeding chapters relating to Tom's illicit love-making, and Hardy's motherly watchfulness over him, are very well in their way, particularly our hero's reflec tions in the privacy of his own rooms when the Devil and his good Angel dispute command; and in the end, when (as of course is the case) virtue triumphs, the satisfaction expressed by the libertine Drysdale at his resolution to behave honourably, where he says, " Well, old fellow, now you've made up your mind, I tell you I am devillish glad of it." But there is more romance than reality about them, and although they look well on paper, one may travel far to find their prototypes in real life. Two poems appear in s tahnisdnisla u i m p be ys m r.Th a e ny of first is by Mr. Monckton Milne s , the most pleasing qualities of his verses. The second is the first instalment of a poem of somewhat for midable extent, both as regards subject and length, by the late Dr. George Wilson of Edin burgh. It is founded on an interesting inci dent which peculiarly attracted the author as a man of science. A bulbous root found in the hand of the mummy of an Egyptian princess, grew when planted. This singular fact is the subject of the gyptian poem before us, which contains some fine thoughts. A brief paper on Readers in 1760 and 1i60," quotes Bacon's decision that " some books are to be tasted, others to be swal lowed, and some few chewed and digested ;" and expresses a fear that the first class will soon absorb the other two. An essay on "An English Painter's Tomb," reminds us that one of our great pictorial teachers, William Hogarth, has neither a grave in Westminster Abbey nor a monument in any part of London. Thomas Hughes gives us an article on " Italy resurgent and Britain looking on," written in a bold, frank, straightforward spirit that we wish he could impart to some high in authority and power. Baily's Monthly Magazine. An engraving and biography of the Duke of Bedford constitutes the second of the series of English sportsmen, which it is the intention of the proprietors of this magazine to publish. " The Experiences of Sydney Godolphin Yahoo" improve as they advance. The description of the talented and good-hearted hero making himself ridiculous by attempting to come the " heavy swell" in the north of Scotland is good, and the perplexity of Ethel Cameron at the conflicting characters per sonated by her admirer is amusing. The best ar ticle, however, is that on " The English Race horse," by Admiral H. T. Rous t‘ There are not many men in England who can train horses scientifically, although every head groom brought up in a racing stable flatters hi►aself he is fully qualified for the task. The cleverest trainer in England said to me last year, I have trained horses twenty years, and every year I discover a weak point, and that I have a great deal to learn.' No three horses require the satne work, the same food, and the same physic ; their wants and requirements ought to be the serious study of the trainer. How often we see a heavy lad on a hard pulling two-year old, r d d a a light weight on a lazy old horse, galloping ! -1 mile and a half together, _without any calcautlaratioenabeing made as to the natural result. The cleverest oughtra.rner. greater number, consider sible that he can do justice to a feet ought to be well in not to take charge of above twenty-two horses : is impos sible pays espe cial public stables, where ing that every horse's legs and spected twice a day, w ith . a a n th %e to the manger every time they are fed._ Therefore, kept, urn out a credit to promisingogrsteat sixty or seventy horses are or noto riously a head schoolmaster, who takes p good horses, like t es pacia:rtEdit4tiotnbeinc:9hTeer.silyxoyoris rhole seven nt the a y him, and allows the ushers to brush up the sloW coaches as they please. There is nothing so detrimental to racing as these large stables. Three private establishments, ave raging ten horses each, will make more sport than a public stable containing seventy horses." The sooner the tale of "From Oxford to St. George's" is brought to a conclusion the better, unless a great improvement is made in it; the description of the Fox Hotel, in the neighbour hood of Bond-street, is absurd without being clever. The number concludes with " Chapters on Guns," " Our Jockey Coursing," and " The Dramatic and Musical World of London," Charles Knight's Publications. 71e Popular history of .Lnyland, by Charles Knight, is now entering upon a ne w an d eventful epoch. The American War has been brought to a close, the war with France is yet looming in the distance, and the writer takes ad vantage of this pa u s e t o g ive a general view of the state and prospects of the country. A general de spondency overclouded the political world at the close of the American war, a war in which all Englishmen felt they had neither the satis faction of a good cause or the glory of a decided triumph. The author examines into the assertions to which this despondency gave rise, and gives an interesting account of the various products of the country, and the rate of in crease in population. Illustrations of the cattle and sheep, and further on of the scientific constructions and improvements, are liberally given. The closing chapters are especially attractive. They tell us of the " Revolution in the Peaceful Arts," whose effects should long outlive those of the stormy re volution that was com i ng. The first construction of canals, the fi rs t water spinning mill, the fly shuttle of Kay, the spinning-jenny of Hargreaves, the inventions of Arkwright and Wedgwood, and the grand schemes of Watt are all duly chronicled. It is one characteristic feature in this history that the progress of art and science as well as the gene ral social advancement of the people find a record. The English Encyclopaedia of Arts and Sciences is continued in a manner worthy of the three pre ceding portions of this great work. It is com prehensive in its character, and complete in its information. As a work of reference, it will, when it has reached its termination, be perhaps without a rival. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. The National Magazine has several papers. The new editor, Mr. Ewing Ritchie, adds a sketch of Mr. Gladstone to his gallery of Parliamentary. portraits. It is cleverly written, but does some thing more than justice to the eccentric Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Copping continues his story of " Sundown," and there is a pleasing tale entitled "My First Love and my Last." " Down Sto' part way" is a rambling paper, giving the legends and associations of an old country locality. A paper on the wrongs of the journeyman bakers sets forcibly before the public the evils resulting from the unnatural labour extorted from these poor men.—The Church of England Monthly Review is a very excellent periodical. It advocates sound principles, but is entirely free from the intolerance and narrowness so common in this class of works. It discusses subjects of general interest, and has in the present number papers on the recent Memoirs of Renee of France, Duchess of Ferrara, on Sir John Franklin and Self Help. We can honestly recommend it to the reader of general tastes.— The Eclectic is another publication, with a decidedly religious tendency, although its doctrines are very dissimilar. In the number be fore us we find some attractive papers. That on Edgeworth Town will engage the attention of all the admirers of "Patronage" and "Helen." A pleasant criticism on Illustrated Books analyses the artistic merits of some of our gorgeous pictorial vo lumes. A memoir of the late Bishop "Wilson pays a tribute to the ability and excellence of the departed prelate.—Newton's London Journal contains its usual record of arts and sciences, and keeps a watch over the progress of inventive art. The topic of the introductory article is the proposed Fine Art Gal lery and Museum for Manchester. The recent patents are described, and in most cases illustrated by diagrams, and the customary sci e ntifi c no ti ces are added.- 2 .Le Follet is distinguished, as usual, by taste in colour and grouping, even if the perversity of Fashion will interfere with the grace of the figures. Two love stories of domestic life are simple and pleasing, and as the chief poeti cal contributions bear the names of Macaulay and Longfellow, their excellence is warranted.—Among the weekly publications that assume monthly covers Once a Week stands foremost. The chief story is from the ready pen of Mr. Meredith, and hears the singular title of " Evan Harrington, or He would be a Gentleman." The terrors of Sir Cresswell Cresswell are pathetically told in a humor ous narrative illustrated by John Leech. Miss Martineau contributes another of her practically sensible articles concerning the well-being of young ladies, and there are many other amusing pape rs .— he Welcom e G ues t w ill be welcome to many love' s of light literature and humorous sketches. Au gustus Mayhew, G. A. Sala, Albany Fonblanque, and James Hannay are among its contributors. It contains nothing very solid or striking, but will serve the puipose for which it is apparently intended, by whiling away a leisure half hour.-7he Family Economist is somewhat altered in size and shape. It has the advantage of age, for it was established, we are told, in the year 1848, and has, therefore, acquired a dignified standing among the crowd of cheap publications. It seems to be excellently adapted for family reading, and has several instructive papers for the benefit of juvenile members.—The It'ild Flowers of England, by the Rev. R. Tyas, are continued, and the author preserves his plea sant and simple style of conveying botanical know ledge.—Routledge's Illustrated Natural .History bids fair to become one of our most valuable zoological works. The part before us, which is as usual amply supplied with excellent woodcuts, treats of the several varieties of the rabbit and the squirrel, and commences a description of the various kinds of cattle. THE CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. This theatre can now boast of having secured the services of one of the best actor in Europe. He appears at the above theatre shortly after Easter in a round of his favourite characters, in which he will be well supported by the admirable stock com pany. "We extract the following from the Dublin Gazette:— " Queen's Royal Theatre.—During the past few weeks ihe lessee of this theatre has well sustained his reputation for ability and judgment. At a season when playgoers re form,'and the public cease to divert themselves with farce and drama, he has succeeded in collecting houses' suffi ciently large as •to prove remunerative to himself and his company. This success is, of course, attributable to the care which Mr. Webb has taken to gratify the popular taste. The engagements which have terminated during the period have been more than usually successful. It is a strange fact that, unlike most favourite actors, Mr. T. C. King ap pears to have a life interest in the respect and good will of those who have once seen his acting. This is a result which cannot be obtained by those ' stars' which flash brightly caouv,h for a while and then disappear in somewhat igno minious fashion, but must be obtained by that intrinsic merit and genuine ability which alone can raise an artiste to a high place in his profession. During the long period of years which Mr. King has almost entirely spent on the Dublin stage, those who frequent the theatre have been brought by degrees to appreciate his talents ; but their familiarity with his style of acting, his manner and his ap pearance, has in ne instance weakened his popularity. No member of his profession has appeared in a greater diversity of character; and yet this very fact, which would seem to be an obstacle in the way of careful study, has not retarded his success. His splendid appearance on the stage, his mag nificent voice and graceful manner, are natural gifts w hich few are so largely endowed with ; but to these qualifications he adds those which can be acquired by the exercise of ca and judgment, an d are only improved by exper i ence . While f he undertakes a great number of charac t ers , there are o course a few i n w hi c h he specially d i st i ngu i s h e s himself, and which seem b es t su i ted to h i s a bili t i es . In the long list of Shaksperian d ramas th e t rage dy of " Othello" is perhapsdthe that in which h e i s seen t o the best advantage;i,bso ea: d in ie s d o resemble closely the ideal which gallant but unfortunate Moor, as he depicts m dramatist embodied h racter pre-eminently difficu t, it will be represents n him, is one t t h h e at h t e h r i o s of h his play. a But perhaps "Richelieu" . is the part i a lwh ow ich led h g e e i d s m th o a s t t pleasing;to achieve and ea ; f h era e oa n . it in it iis remembered .no. mean famous Cardinal, as Bu t t u ri a o t t e , d a b n y d p al u w re ay a s nd Par lof t t i y . nature is so made up of proof of talent.

Mr. King sentatives of this extraordinary personage, and it is there fore evident that he must possess more than ordinary oppi.eciation of those nice points in which the author of the play brings the true feature of his hero into distinct light. But his ' acting also exhibits a vigorous grasp of thought and much originality of conception. In the Virgi nius of Sheridan Knowles and the Gisippus of Gerald Griffin he has displ a y e d t h ese qualities of mind to the best advan tage. These are only a few of the dramas in which he has lately appeared. Mr. King's engagements has just termi nated owing to his acceptance of a lucrative London engage ment. Mr. Webb has re-engaged his brother for a few nights, and " Th e Courier of Lyons," a cleverly-written melodrama, is performed every evening. Miss Annie Parker and Mrs. W e bb b o th appear n i g htly, an d receive the ap plause which they so well merit. The other actors of the _ company, including M r .
