" THE SUN" OFFICE, 112, Strand. LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 13, 18G6. The close of the Industrial Exhibition, which has for the last ten weeks been held in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, took place last evening with all due ceremony. Exhibitions of this kind have of late years grown common enough, but the one just over possessed some important features. In the first place, the number of its visitors-550,000 — redeemed it from insignificance, and the class which they for the most represented proved that the great desideratum was at last attained, and that the work ing men of the metropolis were really attracted by it. In a pecuniary sense, too, the Metropolitan and Provincial Working Classes' Exhibition, has a right to claim attention. Besides meeting the esti mated liabilities, the Council have been able to expend £BOO on prize medals, certificates, and me mentoes for exhibitors. Over half a million of the visitors paid for their admission, so that the Exhibition must pecuniarily be considered a great success, although the various musicians, lecturers, &c., who have added greatly to its attractions, gave, for the most part, their services gratuitously. In cluding the silver and bronze medals and certificates of honourable mention, 441 exhibitors out of 1,455 have received marks of merit. The Council, however, are not" disposed to give unqualified praise, but wisely point out to the exhibitors the general deficiencies of the exhibition. " The chief deficiencies are in those important qualities which result from well directed study, and in originality of design, the offspring of independent thought. At the same time there are abundant evidences of patient, laborious perseverance, of earnest assiduity, and particularly of technical skill and manual dexterity, which give promise of more decided excellence." This is per haps as much as could reasonably be expected, since it is only within the last few years that any attempt has been made to cultivate a taste for design among our workmen, or to give them the opportunity of 1 improving any artistic abilities which they may possess. We cannot expect to find the flower where we have not sown the seed, and until lately it seemed to be considered useless to attempt encouraging art workmanship among the English. Our workmen have too often but little opportunity of cultivating their taste for the beautiful either in nature or art, but they are by no means deficient in the appreciation of it. Lord JOHN MANNERS, who presided over the ceremonies of last evening, mentioned that last year his pre decessor in office had at the close of the season dis tributed the plants from the royal parks and gardens among such of the working classes who cared to apply for them. The number of plants thus given away was about 20,000. This year he had been glad to follow so good an example, and to his great pleasure the demand had increased from 20,000 to 50,000. As Lord JOIIN MANNERS observed, such an employment of his leisure hours can hardly fail to refine and improve the taste of the artisan or me chanic, and fit him for the study of the various de grees of art workmanship. Some years ago, when visiting Ireland, he had been struck with the beauty of the sculpture adorning the fine new hall of the Dublin University. He found on inquiry that the workmen who had embellished it had real leaves and flowers for their copy. There is no reason why our metropolitan workmen should not profit to an equal extent by the study of the beautiful in nature. Another gratifying and suggestive fact in con nection with this exhibition was the large number of men who brought their wives and families with them. What our working classes very much need is some place where they can obtain rational re creation which all can share in. If we improve the wives and mothers we shall improve and elevate the homes and the children ; but, as it is, the hard working women have too often no resource but gossip, while their husbands have no other alter native than a dreary, unattractive room and the public-house. It would be better, instead of warn ing men against temptation, to offer them some counteracting inducements to steadiness and so briety; and if our social reformers bore more often in mind the sound but unpoetical maxim about Jack and work, they would be more likely to achieve practical good thal by trusing to theories and sermons. l attendedir' RUSSELL GURNEY, the Recorder of London, yesterday in at the Hartley Institution, Southampto n , order to distribute the prizes which had been awarded to the successful candidates in the Oxford and Cambridge local examinations held there. After the ceremony wa gentleman made some remarks, s w o h v i e c r b th w e er ri e g l h v t el h l bon ceived, and appeared to do full justice to the matter before him. He expressed his great satisfaction as a member of one of the old universities that the uni versities should have " struck out this new course of usefulness for themselves." This is strictly true, for in nothing have these time-honoured institutions of our land more recommended themselves to the respect and admiration of the present generation their adoption Of their system of local min must ations. Many besides M r . G URNEY feel pride in pride and delight, and when they see the use fulness of those institutions extended or diffused, the more so when they recall the happy days they once passed within their precincts, where thuRNE they de rived the benefits of instruction. t t h o e t m h , e s h e o u w n e i v v e e r r , s i d t i o e e s s , notadmiration make him i and a r b e l v i n e r d e n do c e e v f t o e r e and he frankly admits that while they ay ey d did s, a a n n i d anearle culable amount of good in e arlier still continuing the good work, that it nowadays to deny that the number of stude nts is very small in comparison with those who ought to share thebenefit of the best sort of education. Of course, there is i:othing to be surprised at in this when we bear in mind the great increase which has taken place in the number and population of the country. In olden times the streets of Oxford were crowded with students, but now these are, for the mast part, confined to richer members of the community, ex cept where ancient endowments were founded for necessitous students. In dwelling on this point, Mr. GURNEY said, " Well, indeed, did these en dowments do their work in many cases, by giving a noble education to many who could not otherwise have obtained it." As a proof of this he related an anecdote which perfectly well illustrated his mean ing. He was told by a gentleman who had ob tained high distinction in his profession that he was the son of a country clergyman,whose means did not permit him to give his son all the advantages he desired, but agreed to defray the expenses of the first year. The son went to Oxford, and during the first year he distinguished himself so much that he obtained a scholarship, and was enabled to complete his own education afterwards. Certainly there is no more profitable way of investing money than this, to invest it for the benefit of posterity, and enable those whose merits deserve recognition to make their way to the position which is their due. Continuing his reminiscences of the same gentle man's career, Mr. GURNEY pointed him out as an example to his young hearers, and to show that energy and perseverance may often accomplish great things in another direction. When he was called to the bar he had no important connections, and did not know how he would get on, but soon after there was a suit in Chancery in which one of the colleges was concerned, and the solicitor called on the head of the college to inquire if any par ticular gentleman should be engaged. The head of the college replied that he did not know any one, but that a gentleman lately called had made a translation he had been much struck with, and he should wish him to have a brief. In conse quence the brief was given, and the young lawyer acquitted himself so creditably that he was never afterwards in want of a brief. " I mention this circumstance," said the right hon. gentleman, " for the purpose of showing my young friends that there is no one good work, nor one decided proof of in dustry and talent, on which future fruits may not hang." Such advice and encouragement are ad mirable, and must lead either directly or indirectly to incite and influence those who are beginning their careers. Semper paratus should, in truth, be the mottoes of those who have to work their own way iu the world, and they should not let a chance slip by for want of care and assiduity. As Mr. GURNEY truly observed, the age at which young men were now sent up made a difference, and to get over the difficulties thus presented recourse was had to the old mode, as the mountain would not go to MAIIOMET, MAIIOMET must go to the moun tain. By the institution of oral examination the Universities did as much as they possibly could for those young people who could not get to them. The Universities send examiners into the great towns, and ascertain the amount of knowledge and also the amount of ignorance. This raises the standard of education, and of course the distribution of prizes and certificates hold out an inducement that never existed before. No doubt the attendant benefits on such institutions as these local examinations are very considerable ; and they have also induced the masters to make greater exertions, in order that they may appear creditably at the ordeal through which they have to pass. Dr. ARNOLD made some interest ing observations on the merits of examinations as regarded reading, in which he said that a student wanted them not only to excite him, but to do away with a sort of indistinctness that is apt to assail a lonely reader as to the amount of his acquirements, so that he may not think he has a very accurate conception of anything, while he is at the time quite imperfect in it. The study of history is too apt to be neglected in these days, and Mr. GURNEY regretted to find that in the Southampton examination it was found that it had not been so well attended to as it should have been. This, as he truly said, was not a time when such a branch of study could be safely put aside. " When more power was being given to the great body of the people, if they were not versed in history, they would not be fit to perform the duties which devolved upon them as citizens of the country." By the attentive suing of all things relating to this important subject, by studying the history of their own country of old times and of other days, they cannot fail to have better thinkers, and more experienced judges. Mr. GURNEY, in his very com prehensive speech, adverted to the circumstance that at Southampton they had no examination for females, but it had been shown that no difficulty exi s ted in this respect if they had a good ladies' committee. Dr. ARNOLD has said that great want is felt in this important respect, and girls labour under great disadvantages in this respect. As a proof of the good derived from these trials it may be cited that at an examination 90 per cent. failed in the first year in arithmetic, but in the next only throe failed. In concluding his address the right honourable gentleman made some earnest and eloquent exhortations to his hearers, and counselled them to go on and persevere, that they should not pause in the hour of triumph, and not to mistake the means for the end. Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS has given some excellent advice on this fact—" Have no dependence on your genius, if you have great talents industry will improve them. If you have but moderate abilities industry will supply the deficiency. Nothing is denied to well-directed labour ; nothing is to be obtained without it." Such counsels and warnings are of in estimable advantage to those who are entering on their careers, whether they are flushed with success and over confident, or despondent and apt to despair. It may safely be affirmed of the youth of this generation that their way is made more clear than it ever was to their predecessors ; they are assisted by the most eminent men of their time, and it remains for the most part with themselves whether their careers are successes or failures. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Emperor has invited the Prince Napoleon Jerome to take part in the discussions relative to the reorganisation of the Army. To this information of the Moniteur I may add that the Prince is now at his chateau at Meudon, and that yesterday various experiments were made there with the new guns recently manufactured there. The firing is very rapid. Indeed the effect is that of a series of ex plosions at the same instant. Aus A t e r e i o a r n din: li t n o is t t h e e r jo a u t rn th al e L C 'l o t ur ali t e, o ß f a F ro lo n r d en e c ß e r , u h e a k s , arrived in that capital. The King of Bavaria, like the Emperor of Aus tria in Bohemia and Moravia, being desirous to inspect those pa r t s o f hi s ki ng d om w h ere t h e Bava rian Army came into conflict with the Prussian troops, has left Munich for Franconia. Notice has been given officially to the exhibitors at the ensuing Great Exhibition that the Emperor and Empress, wishing to preserve to themselves entire liberty of choice, will refuse to purchase any articles which may be marked with their initials without their consent. A letter has been received in Paris from M. Ridel, a French missionary, which gives some inte rih c e o s r t i o n a g . particulars e relative t o t of that o e o v o e n o t t r s n a t t e butary of China, sends ambassadors to China every year.

Ile immediately seized and be headed Bernoux, the vicar apostolic ; Daveluy, his coadjutor ; and the missionaries Beaulieu, de Bretenieres, Dore, Aumai,Ve, Hain, Pour thic, Petitnicolas, and a great number of native Christians. As to M. Ridel he had been closely concealed for three months in a private house belonging to Christians, expecting every day that he should be discovered and put to death. The Mandarin of the district had arrested many Chris tians. Accounts of a later date th an the letter of M. Ridel state that happily he had? been able to escape with eleven missionaries, and .had landed at Tcht-Fou, China, on the 7th of July, Two other missionaries, Messrs. Feron and Calas, were wan dering among the mountains of the Gina' The TICE SUN, LO N! OS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 18% French Government has taken energetic steps to protect its subjects in that country. The remon strances of the representatives of France there had been treated with contempt or inattention. The Eastern question assumes more and more importance. There is now no doubt that Russia is arming to the teeth. A treaty with Prussia is spoken of by some of the Paris papers. The Rus sian journals evidently anticipate something im portant in regard to Turkey. In the meantime they are very disappointed with the appointment of M. Beust, which seems to have excited as much dis satisfaction in Russia as in Prussia. They assert that the object of M. Beust is to procure a treaty of alliance between France, Italy, and Austria, to be revenged upon Prussia. A Vienna journal, dis cussing the report about this supposed treaty, in reply to the Prussian papers, says that Austria would not be so foolish as to throw down the gauntlet to Germany by allying herself with foreigners. One of the Paris papers says—" Aus tria no doubt cannot forget that France has made her lose a portion of her empire of Italy, but she can still less forget that Prussia has compelled her to lose Germany." The English welshers have not been so successful in France as they are sometimes in England. There was au inundation of them at the Deauville races, where they did a good deal of business, the French having now quite a betting mania. They pretended o pa e n n y t ry of - s a t rgeeent, agents, Morris and Co., London, which it , t k o r b u e n l d o e n l g -p t l o ac a company appears was only a pretence. After leaving Deau ville, which they did in a very great hurry, they traversed Trouville, Villerville, Serquigny, Honfieur, and Havre, from whence they went to Rouen and Dieppe. They were about to start from that port for England, but the police having learnt something which was not to their advantage they were arrested. These individuals, four in number, had a considerable sum of money upon them which they had won or had stolen from the boat. They were taken before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Pont l'Eveque, charged with swindling. That court sentenced them to a year's imprisonment and to pay a fine of 100 f. and the expenses of the pro ceedings. Madame Tussaud's exhibition of the likenesses of great personages is likely to be eclipsed by a similar attraction, which is to be sent from Sweden to the Paris Exhibition. Figures of a large number of individuals "in their habits as they lived," that is to say, in the picturesque costume of the various pro vinces of Sweden and Norway, will fill a very con siderable space. _ . At the annual public meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts, at the Institute, at which the president, M. Gatteaux, took the chair, after appropriate speeches, various prizes were distributed to archi tects, painters, sculptors, and musicians. The sub ject proposed by the academy for the Bordin prize was " Instruction in the art of sculpture among the Greeks and among the moderns ; information and explanation in regard to the causes of its progress and decline." Seven memoirs worthy of attention were sent to the academy in answer to this appeal, and that body was desirous to increase the number of prizes. The Academy first awarded the prize of 2,000 f. for Memoir No. 7, the authors of which are Messrs. Louis and Rene Mesnard, who had pre viously received prizes ; secondly, a medal of I,ooof. for No. 5, the author of which is M. d'Escamp. Honourable mention was made of another Memoir, the author of which wishes his name not to be dis closed. A shocking case of wife murder has taken place at Montvilliers, near Chartres. A woman, 71 years of age, was found at her house bathed in blood. Her skull was broken nearly in pieces, probably with a hatchet ; it is presumed that she struggled severely as her arms were much cut. The police have reason to suspect the husband, and he has been arrested, but his statement is that he passed the evening with a friend, and that he found his wife murdered on the floor when he came home. The funeral of M. Duveyrier took place yester day at Pere Lachaise, and was attended by many persons eminent in dramatic and general literature. Some affecting speeches were made over his grave. M. Duveyrier was an ardent defender of St. Simonianism. lie was successively editor of the Organisaleur, Le Globe, and other papers. M. Duveyrier wAs also a fertile dramatist, and wrote several pieces in conjunction with his brother, who assumed the name of Melesville, and with Scribe. His most successful works are " Michel Perrin," " Le Toreador," and " Les Vepres Siciliennes." A strange story is told about an egg merchant at one of the Paris markets; indeed, it may be as well as strange. several days he had l c faallveidn beeng "fowl and s p u o n s n e unnatural," u f r o a r l ' " kept his warehouse at a high temperature, at the recommendation of his doctor, to promote perspiration and slept there. A morning or two ago he was awoke by a strange noise, and on jump ing up he saw on the floor about 150 little chickens, which had been batched by the heat, and the floor was strewed with egg-shells. The most obvious ex planation of this affair seems to be that the egg dealer had " made the place too hot to hold himself" and his eggs. It is, I believe, quite settled that the Emperor, Empress, and the young Imperial Prince will leave St. Cloud to-morrow for Compiegne. The fete of the Empress on Thursday will be kept with more than the accustomed festivity and ceremony. Numerous invitations have been given. It began to rain again this afternoon, and the rain seems likely to continue. The weather, how ever, is still warm. Grand Flower Show and Fancy Fair. (THIS DAY.) Tho Grand Flower Show and Fancy Fair, in aid of the benevolent fund of the United Horticultural Society and the Albert Orphan Asylum, held under the auspices of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, was opened at the Guildhall, and a more splendid scene than the interior of the Guildhall presented it would be impossible to imagine. The show of Flora's treasures was remarkable, and it was difficult to reconcile ourselves to the fact that we were in the dreary month of November, when we cast a glance around and were met at every point with parterres of bril liant flowers. Of course the chrysanthemums were in great force ; the different varieties were represented in profusion. At either side of the ancient hall large and splendidly flowered plants were arranged tier above tier, and for bril liancy of colour wo have seen nothing to approach them at the most celebrated shows held during the past season. In the centre of the hall, where but two or three days ago turtle and champagne fornied the groat attraction, a splen did circular flower-bed has been so artistically arranged as to have all the appearance of being one of the permanent beauties of the hall. A number of very attractive stalls, presided over by ladies, have been placed in excellent posi tions, and the wares displayed are of the most attractive description. The different apartments in the Guildhall decorated for the Lord Major's banquet have also been filled with flowers, fruit, and everything likely to com mand a rapid flow of the circulating medium, and doubt less the receipts will be as large as the great preparations that have been made to bring about so desirable a result. The opening of the Exhibition was attended with the greatest eclat, the band of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance, and altogether, despite the unfavourable state of the weather, the " show" was inaugurated with the greatest success. His Royal Highness arrived at about half-past 1, and was received by the committee, and by them conducted through the exhibition. .The principal stalls were presided over by the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Countess of Derby, the Countess of Shaftesbury, Mrs. Sheriff Lycett, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Coates, and Mrs. Morley. In the Aldermen's Chamber the magnificent testimonial lately presented to Mr Aldernan Phillips- which called forth so much deserved praise when it was first exhibited at the establishment at which it was manufactured, viz., Messrs. Howell and James, of Regent-street, was displayed—and attracted general attention ; and another of the great features in this apartment was the exhibition of the Piping Bullfinch, first seen at the Exhibition in 1851, and which has earned nearly £3,000 for the poor. Mr. Himmel had a choice display of elegant perfume fountains and oriental essences in the centre of the Guildhall, which sent forth a sweet and refreshing fragrance that called forth universal admiration from the crowd of ladies that were continually surrounding his very tasteful stall. The principal floral exhibitors were Messrs. Marshall, Carter, Henderson, Forsyth, Wheeler, &c., and the bril liancy of their displays seemed to excite his Highness's admiration as he passed throughout the various portions of the Exhibition. The Exhibition will remain open till Saturday next, and no longer. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 13.

Mr. Hepworth Dixon in America. -4. - Among a number of unusually intelligent English men who have been visiting America this year is Mr. W. Hepworth Dixon, who is distinguished in literature for his expositions of the lives and cha racters of Lord Bacon and William Penn, for volumes of Travels in the East, for Critical Essays, and for journalistic experiences as the editor of the London Atheneum. His four months in America have been mainly spent in close studies of such social and religious anomalies in our national life and growth as the Mormons, the Shakers, the Communists, and the Spiritualists present. He lived, for this purpose, for some days with the Shakers at Lebanon, also with the Oneida Com munists, and made the long and dangerous journey across the plains and over the Rocky Mountains to Utah, where he passed several weeks in more in timate relations with the Mormon leaders and their families than perhaps were ever held by any other person outside their fold. These things will there fore form the staple, certainly the more valuable, portion of the book in which he will soon describe his American experiences and observations. As the judgment of a man of genius and wide and deep study, who has paid this class of subjects here and elsewhere unusual attention, and inspected their present development in this country more closely than any one among us has done,what he has to say, both of description and of conclusion, will be awaited with interest and deserve serious respect. The Mormon problem is not at all a simple one to solve ; and what a man of the quality and experi ence of Mr. Dixon has to offer upon it must be of importance both to our social and political doctors. Coming back from Utah, Mr. Dixon joined in a portion of the recent official excursion to the iron and coal regions of Pennsylvania, and then was en tertained in a munificent manner at Philadelphia by a few of its leading citizens of the professions and in literature, as a tribute to the manner in which he had exposed the noble life of the founder of their city and state, and vindicated his name from the aspersions of Macaulay. Since, at New York and Boston, he has seen somewhat more of our most ad vanced civilisation, and shared our most polite hos pitality, as, in his explorations in the West, he had previously witnessed our earliest and roughest move ment on the barbaric wilderness, shrank from the wild Indian, and made terms with hunger over stewed prairie dog and fried buffalo hump.—Spring field Republican. THE ACCIDENT TO PROFESSOR SELIVYN. CAMBRIGDE, Monday Evening. —The professor passed a good night last night, and the bulletin this morning was consequently favourable. The inquiries after the profes sor'shealthhave during the day been earnest and incessant. At 5 o'clock this evening there was hope that the case is progressing favourably. THE QUEBEC FIRE.—Mr. John M. Grant, the honorary secretary to the fund, received yesterday a tele gram from Manchester, stating that the committee of that city have resolved to send out immediately 1,000 pairs of blankets for the use of the sufferers by the fire. These blankets, &c, will go forward by the next steamer, Messrs. Allan Brothers and Co. having undertaken to forward them with tho utmost despatch, and free from all charges. These blankets will be a most valuable help in relieving the bittern distress now existing in Quebec, and the committee hope to receive further similar contributions. The subscriptions up to last evening, including the donation of £lOO from his Royal highness the Prince of Wales, amount to about £13,400. This sum is exclusive of the subscriptions now being raised or to be raised iu Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, meetings having been convened iu the two last named cities for this day. EADVERTISEMENT.I--Holloway's Pills for the Cure of Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, and Affections of the Liver.—Symptoms indicative of these disorders are a feel ing of nausea, distention and spasmodic pain in the sto mach, sense of oppression and sinking state after eating, want of appetite, languor, dejection of spirits, and general debility.

These excellent pills keep all the natural functions so fairly balanced that they prevent or speedily Subdue headache, dizziness, bilious attacks, and similar maladies. THEATRE ROYAL PRINCESS'S. New Dramatic Version of " Barnaby Rudge." The popularity of Charles Dickens—immense though it has been during a period now of thirty years [the serial publication of " Pickwick" was completed in 1836]—has never been more conspi- ' cuously manifest than it is at this present moment. Are evidences of this wanting ? Circumspicc ! They are apparent iu all directions. To begin with—it was only the other day that one among his Five charming Christmas Books, not by any means the best amongst them, but still for all that, as might readily enough be the case, a charming story in itself, was nightly filling Sadler's Wells, under its dramatic title as " Dot." In a totally opposite direction, on the other side of the water, at the other end of London, another theatre, Astley's to wit, is at this present moment filling night after night—the principal attraction there being a drama tised version of the last serial fiction of our great novelist. The stage name assumed by " Our Mutual Friend" being the local sobriquet of Mr. Boffin—that is to say, " The Golden Dustman." At the Olympic, 'The Frozen Deep," which is there the nightly attraction, while it owes its existence originally to Mr. Wilkie Collins' skill as a dramatic writer, mainly owes the prolongation until now of that existence to the histrionic genius manifested by Mr. Dickens in the impersonation of the prin cipal character in that affecting melodrama. Alto gether, apart, of course, from any mere theatrical evidences of the fact that Charles Dickens's popu larity is more conspicuously apparent, nowadays, than it has ever been during all these thirty years last past (that, instead of falling off in any way, it is more than ever widening and deepening, as time advances) there are noticeable in his regard such tes timonies of its being as we have said, as the following sufficiently obvious ones, f or example—That his works are now publishing in four distinct editions without the success of any one of those four editions inter fering with the success of the three others-- each new edition appearing to create a new reading public of its own—the Original Edition, the Library Edition, the Cheap Edition, and the People's Edition. That wheresoever or whensoever he is an nounced for one of his Readings—in Paris, in London, in Glasgow, no matter where—the places selected for his so-called Readings (for, it is almost needless to say, that they are something very far beyond sim ply Readings in their general character) are crowded by audiences of the most varied kind imaginable, literate and illiterate, and all of them apparently equally enthusiastic in :the evidence of their delight, now by hearty applause, now by hushed silence, now by bursts of laughter. To sum up all, how ever, by the mention of just one other very practical token of the conspicuous magnitude (of the depth and width) . of this immense popularity—let us refer simply, in passing, to the significant fact that, when ever the Christmas number of Mr. Dickens's weekly periodical is issued from the press, it commands at once a ready sale of 200,000 copies. Reverting, however, to a consideration of the purely theatrical evidences of his popularity, we have now to ap ' pend to what has already been said about the re cent production of " Dot" at Sadler's Wells, and of the " Golden Dustman" at Astley's, to say nothing more about his histrionic association with Wilkie Collins' "Frozen Deep" at the Olympic—that last evening witnessed the production, for the first time, upon the stage of the Princess's, of a new dramatic version of one of the most enthralling and picturesque of our great novelist's romances, the historical romance of " Burnaby Rudge." A quarter of a century has elapsed since the serial publication of the tale in "Master Humphrey's Clock" was completed. More than one drama founded upon it has since then—within that interval of five and twenty years—been produced. But the version given last evening—the joint production, it may here be added at once, of Mr. Watts Phillips and Mr. George Vining—was an entirely new version from beginning to end, the play being constructed apparently mainly as a medium for the introduction of a young American actress to the world of Lon don playgoers. An American Actress, and yet, strange to say, an Englishwoman born and bred— a daughter of Mr. Henry Vining, the actor, and consequently a niece of Mr. George Vining, the actor-manager. Whatever may be said or thought about the success of the piece itself—this new dra matic version of Barnaby Rudge—about the success of the young actress it was the means of in troducing to us, there can be no particle of doubt whatever. It was complete and unequivocal. And that we don't hesitate in the least to assert, although at the end of the third act there occurred the following incident — one reminding us, by the way, of the first night of Mr. Charles Reade's " Never Too Late to Mend." At the end of the third act Mr. Vining, as manager, stepped on to the stage, and, standing between the curtain and the footlights, thus addressed his audience : " Ladies and gentlemen, on the present occasion I do not appear before you as an actor. I have had an opportu nity of sitting in a private box, and from the commence ment of this evening I have seen one or two persons who have come here determined from the first to hiss. (Cries of Turn them out.') Unfortunately I cannot point them out. If I could point them out I would turn them out myself. (Cheers, laughter, and cries of Shame.') The hissing has not been the fair expression of popular opinion. (Cheers and slight dissent.) It began at an early pe riod of the piece, when there was not a pretext for it, to the degradation of their manhood, against ono who is not only a lady but a stranger. I do not object to a fair ex pression of opinion. I do not like people to come with a determination to hiss ; but if wo deserve it, hiss us with all your might." Taking him at his word, the isolated dissentients thus referred to by the manager greeted his depar ture from the stage with one or two very distinct hisses, which were audible even through the hurri cane of applause that greeted him from the rest of the house. While we would deprecate the wisdom of any interference on the part of a manager with the expression of the opinion of even one solitary individual in an audience, we must at the same time add that the entirely unprovoked sibilations which greeted the new actress almost immediately upon her first appearance and repeatedly afterwards, were naturally enough to Mr. Vining an immense and evidently an irresistible provocation. Besides, the dissentients were unmistakeably not simply in a minority, they were absolutely isolated. All the rest of the house, the whole bulk of the audience being manifestly delighted, as was evidenced again and again by the enthusiasm of their acclamations. Altogether the cast of the piece was respectably good, but nothing more. It might certainly have been better in several particulars. For example, the ma nager himself might have appeared in one or other of the characters with obvious advantage in the way of strengthening the cast as a whole. The Miss Miggs of the new actress (Mrs. John Wood) was, beyond a doubt, the impersonation of the night—though her appearance is entirely against her —for it is charming ! A pretty Miggs being quite manifestly an anomaly ! Not less so than it would have been had we had to witness (which for tunately we had not) a plain Dolly Varden " A charming, surprised-looking, capital face" (so far, just like Scrooge's niece) she has—this young soi disant American actress (English born and English bred, as already hinted)—but (unlike, if we re member rightly, Scrooge's niece aforesaid) Mrs. John Wood possesses the prettiest nez retroussee now anywhere to be seen on the London boards, a feature that lends a perfecting piquancy to the ' frolicsome fun of her espieglcrie, to the every toss of her graceful head and the vis comica visible in the mobile lines of her pretty face. Judging her merely from this one impersonation of Miss Miggs we cannot hesitate to pronounce her at once an un - questionable acquisition to the London stage. Miss Augusta Thomson made imp and acted prettily enough • as charming little Dolly Varden. Mr. Chas. Hors ' man's Maypole Hugh was thoroughly good and admirably picturesque also in the make up, be sides being cleverly acted throughout. Very fair, too, both in dress and deportment, was the Sir John Chester of Mr. J. G. Shore. Poor daft Barnaby Rudge—the one only really loveable idiot surely that any great author ever depicted! , found a most graceful and seeming -real representa tive in Miss Katherine Rodgers. As for Mr. 11. Mel : lon's John Willett, it would have been a tolerably passable impersonation of that immortal ass, if only the old Maypole landlord's countenance had not been so distressingly uncomely. Perhaps with a view to keep him " in countenance" by a distortion of visage preternaturally hideous and ridiculous in its effect — one of old John's tap-room cronies (we are in doubt whether Mr. Chapman's Parkes or Mr. Robins' Cobb) had his face made up for all the world like a pantomime mask, only more hideous than any pantomime mask that was ever contrived —effecting this transformation apparently by swelling his cheeks out with a couple of plumpers and by flattening his nose down with a horsehair ! By all means let us entreat the manager to see that that horse hair and those plumpers are henceforth dispensed with. Mr. Calhaetn's Simon Tappertit would have left no thing wanting had only his spindle legs and shrill voice and struttingly consequential gait been coupled' all of them with a visage just a trifle, let us sat, less old, snaggle-toothed, and wizzened. As for Mr. E. Shepherd's Gabriel Varden, nothing could well have been worse. The glorious, burly old locksmith, one of the most delightful characters in the original story has (thanks to Mr. Shepherd) disappeared from the scene altogether. There is an insignificant somebody calling himself Gabriel Varden—but there is no Gabriel Varden in the form, in the flesh, in the voice, in the whole demeanour ! Deficiences there are, in fact, one way or another all through the piece—deficiences many of which are only too strik ingly apparent. The Lord George Gordon Riots are no doubt, for example, displayed to view very vividly in several particulars, but Lord George Gordon himself only once makes his appear' ance for a moment, by stalking across the stage but never once opening his lips. Then, again, one of the most loquacious characters in the original tale—dear, delightful, old, Grip, the raven—has, of course, to be dispensed with—appearing only as a stuffed crow (apparently) in the basket strapped on to Barnaby's shoulders. The whole plot of the story again hinges upon the "No Popery" disturbances , but—throughout this dramatic version—not once is the "No Popery " cry anywhere articulated ! As for the scenery it is admirable. Mr. Lloyds and Mr. Hann having surpassed themselves —in the Maypole, inside and outside,—in The Warren in flames, a spectacle equalling if not surpassing that of the burning house in the " Streets of London"—and afterwards in The Warren in ruins, as seen by moonlight. One other scene, perhaps the loveliest of them all, that of the widow's cottage at sunset, has yet to be particularised, and it is one that cannot be viewed without admira tion. The whole play ends as some plays do (for our own part we cannot but think most preposterously) with a General Dance of the Characters--Migg s and Dolly, Gabriel and Sim, Joe Willett and Alrs* Varden, footing it together, in a sort of a last cen tury breakdown. Altogether, on the fall of the curtain the few dissentient sounds which had been notice able at rare intervals as the evening went en , were, on being renewed, drowned in the genera l applause announcing the play to be success' ful. Whatever success it has achieved mus t, however, be attributed to the comic powe rs evidenced by Mrs. John Wood, in her imPer" sonation of Miggs, to the Ain of the two accom plished scene-painters, and last, not least, to the vivifying influence of the rare genius, the equally humorous and pathetic genius of our Great Novelist' MONTHLY PERIODCALS. DCBLIN.—There are some interesting tales in this serial, which are continued with spirit. " Neve r for Ever" details the adventures of the seaside group, and they are pleasantly sketched. " Number Five Brook-street" goes on with the schemes and plots of Old Jenny, who is an adept in deceit and trickery. " Cometh up as a Flower" tells us of th e romantic Kelly, whose elder sister is quite a mar" plot to her career. " Garrick's Friends and Ene mies" furnishes some curious details of the days e f , theatrical celebrities. " Mediwval Books a nd Hymns" is an interesting article, well worthy 0.1, perusal, since it affords a glimpse of a period to o much neglected nowadays. It is truly said that the great difference between those days and oar own lies in the fact that in mediaeval times intelle' tual life was contemplated, and now it is spree abroad we get more books and readers, but less great books and thinkers. " Dramatic Censorship in Paris before the Revolution," and " Fictile ArtiU the Eighteenth Century " are very suggestive sketches. " The First Siege of Limerick" is W I appropriate paper. CORNIIILL.—" The Village on the Cliff" is con' tinned, and the ill-starred marriage takes plac e ' which will evidently blight the life of the unfortu nate little heroine. Reine is a fine character, be ° and fearless, but mole fitted to rule as a villag e , beauty than to be transplanted to new spheres e 1 unsuitable elegance and uncongenial refinerceat: Dick Butler is a well-meaning individual, but be 13 thoughtless, and causes much confusion by his hee d less less ways. " The Claverings" is also eventful la this instalment, and Cecilia Burton makes most de" termined efforts to secure the happiness of her sister-in-law. It is not yet decided whether sh e wins or loses, but she is one of the most a ttractiv e characters in the story, and rises more i n ou r regal . " than the tame Florence and the flighty Lady Alg 3 nr r. A very good passage i s th a t i n w hi c h L a dy Algs throws off the trammels of her wily foreigner, :In the separation really takes place which has been long talked of. No tyranny so repulsive, no W e i dage more galling than that of a lawyer, and e t this detestable kind, who must not be offended, 1)11 0 who will interfere, and whose exactions increase time sanctions new and daring schemes. " Gr e° Society in Vienna" is a sketch that tells of the state of affairs in that city, but a very unfavour able, opinion seems to be entertained of the fut ure fortunes of the people. It is said, however, th at if " the Austrian takes life with a temper not akl e to that which achieves greatness, if he is seldora!b stuff of which heroes are made, if he is too will to pass his days, as Sallust says, with his gaz e 0 0 the ground, he is often the pattern of a chivalr e . ll ,,, and scrupulous man of honour." There is an ar ticle on the Prussian Army which is well worthy o f notice, as it conveys a good idea of the manner lil a which it has been brought up to its present stand ar of efficiency. It is, however, observed very tr uly ' that although the reorganisation of the Pruss l3- army has taken place in concert with a great p° , l l o tical movement in Germany, it is doubtful ic t io latter will owe its success to the former. " , national aspirations of Germany are still prog res s sive, while the reorganisation of the army in Prass'of has assumed a retrograde aspect." " The Stoll a Campaign" gives au interesting account of t ll l3 ° , stirring scenes of the days of the First NaPnieftio and winds up with a description of the " which decided the fate of Italy." "In a Gard e o is a sketch in verse, and " On the Corine" gi ves account of some curious travels. " T r ansylvan ti ng presents us with a description of some interes travels that have been chronicled in a work I.ateof published, and which seems to possess the Wil t originality. in COLBUIIN'S NEW MONTHLY.--" The Ballo w • tbe the Punjab " is discussed at some length in est , opening article, which gives a good deal of in ter 4t ing information. The new line itself, which 10 a b l e , to be constructed, is, in reality, only the enl li f o tt Lion of the main Indian lines, but its importance is d er fo to from the fact that it will open up the region of t b . e , ite rto rivers to commerce and civilisation in a manner 111 t es undreamt of.
