MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. • The Money Market is assuming a quieter appear ance, and there is a more plentiful supply of float ing capital at the disposal of bankers and brokers. Almost full provision has now been made for to morrow—the 4th—and the rates show a lower ten dency. Bankers' short-dated acceptances are now taken at 41 per cent., and first-class bills at 3f per cent. The gold taken to the Bank yesterday comprised £67,000 in bars and £6,000 in sovereigns. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, the sth instant, a special settling day in the new issue of shares in the Consolidated Bank "to be officially marked." The Committee have also ordered the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax capital of the Great Northern Railway Company " to be officially quoted." In connection with the affairs of Overend, Gur ney, and Company, an application was yesterday made to Vice-Chancellor Stuart, at his chambers, by Mr. Clement Swanston, instructed by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, acting on behalf of the Defence Association, to suspend the drawing up of the order to enforce the payment of the 110 call until after the vacation. The Vice-Chancellor, after the argu ments of counsel, granted the application, and sus pended the order until the 3d of November next, when the liability of the alleged contributories will be argued. It is evident, therefore, by the present delay and the certainty of ulterior proceedings, that this important case will continue to engage public attention for a considerable time to come. It is rumoured that the Defence Association is making arrangements to commence an action against the directors to recover the money which the members have already lost. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 pnr Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 20c.—Heavy.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Pepys.) LN RE TUE REV. R. LEE. This bankrupt was describedas a clerk in hob orders, of Stepney, he being the rector of that parish, and to-day he came up for proof of debts and choice of assignees. No accounts are yet filed, as the adju,dication has been made on a cross petition, but the debts are not large. A day was named for next hearing. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. TIIE RIGHT OF A LANDLORD TO LOCK OUT HIS LODGER.- IMPORTANT CASE. - GODFREY V. HUNT. This was an action to recover damages under somewhat novel circumstances, plaintiff being the landlord of N 0.357 Cavendish-street, Horton, and defendant a lodger in the house. It appeared that the 'plaintiff had complained of a rob bei y having been committed in his house, and he alleged that he gave his wifo instructions to inform the lodgers that the door would be locked by a certain hour. Notwith standing this notice, defendant persisted in stopping out to an unreasonable hour, and upon a certain morning, at 2 o'clock, he disturbed the inmates of the house. by loudly knocking at the street door. Before any one could come to open the door ho broke it open with great violence, and did considerable damage. At the first hear ing his Honour was of opinion that a landlord was not jus tified in locking out his tenant, but agreed to adjourn the case for the attendance of plaintiff's wifo. Mrs. Godfrey now atended, and stated that she had in formed defendant's wife of the circumstances under which the door would be locked at a certain hour. She was quite sure that defendant's wife understood the matter fully. His Honour said that the evidence of the wife somewhat changed the aspect of the case. As she had sworn that a special notice had been given to the parties thoy wore bound by it, and therefore the landlord was entitled•to lock tho door. The verdict would be for the plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. SERIOUS CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Two young men, of very respectable appearance, named Anderson .and Good man, who had been twice remanded, were again placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., charged, the former with embezzling £144, the property of his em ployers, Messrs. Henderson,'Constable, and Co., the well known extensive sugar dealers in the City, and the latter with feloniously receiving £BO of the same, knowing it to be stolen. it appeared that Anderson had been entrusted to collect the money , in question from different persons with whom his employers had business dealings, and had signed re ceipts for the money which he had received. This was early last month, and shortly afterwards he disappeared, and his employers received a letter from him from Paris, in which he admitted that he had embezzled the money, stating that he had been induced to do so by the represen tation of a friend, who promised to obtain him a lucrative situation in the south of France if he could raise LlOO. Ho was arrested in Birmingham, with only a small portion of the money in his possession, which he delivered up to the officer. Goodman was a clerk in the office of a merchant, and was a friend of Anderson's, and gave information respect ing the money that had been deposited with him, which ultimately led to Anderson's apprehension. It appeared, however, that he had at first denied to the officers who had called on him having then in his possession any property of Anderson's, and that he subsequently destroyed the notes, but gave the officers the numbers. He was admitted to bail on Saturday last, his employer becoming his security. Mr. Beard made a very strong appeal to the worthy al derman not to commit the prisoner Goodman for trial, as he had not been guilty, dwelling on the fact of the infor mation he had afforded the officer, and the character he had previously from his employer, who said he believed him incapable of receiving the money if he had even sus pected it had been stolen. He had been guilty, no doubt, of indiscretion, but not complicity in the offence of the other prisoner. Mr. Alderman Lusk remarked that Goodman had ori ginally made a false statemeht to the officer; and he would prefer to have a jury decide on the case. Both prisoners were then fully committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court, but Goodman was admitted to bail. BOW-STREET. Abraham Marks was placed at tho bar, on remand, charged with being concerned in an extensive robbery o f silk of the value of £BOO. The prosecutor, Liefmann Schaal), said he arrived in this country a short time ago, and went to live at 37, Alfred-place, a house in the occupation of the uncle ofAle prisoner. Whilst there he received a quantity of silk, and shortly after it had been deposited in the house a great quantity of it was stolen. The prisoner slept in the back parlour. In cross-examination by Mr. Straight, who appeared for the prisoner, the prosecutor said he had no occupation in London. He formerly carried on business at Arnheim, in Holland, in woollen goods. He also dealt in silk to a great extent. He left Arnheim about five weeks ago, be cause his business did not get on regularly ; he was a bankrupt, and came over hero until his affairs wore arranged, and then he intended to go back. He did not bring a large quantity of goods with him, but he had sent some over, but not a short time before his bankruptcy. The silks stolen came from Holland, and were sent over by Meyer, whose goods they were. He is a cabinetmaker, and lives in Arnheim, but the last time he had seen him was in the vicinity of the court. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for tho prosecution, said he should like to know the exact course that was to be taken by the defence. Mr. Straight said it was exceedingly difficult at that moment to say tho exact courso, but as matters at present stood ho should endeavour to show that the silks had never been stolen, but had been disposed of by the witness, who was a defaulting bankrupt. Mr. Vaughan said tho learned counsel was quite entitled to put any question which would tend to show that the prisoner had not stolen tho silk. Mr. Straight wished to show that it was witness who was dealing fraudulently with tho silk. ' Mr. Vaughan—According to tho depositions the silk be longs to Meyer, who ought to be called for the prosecu tion. Cross-examination continued—He could not state exactly the value of the goods he had in the house, but he believed they were worth about £1,400 or £1,600. He did not know they were worth £2,500. He had been advised to offer the prisoner £lOO if he told him where the goods were. He had not actually done so, but he had been ad vised to do sa. He was in bed until half-past 10 on the morning following the robbery, but he did not hear any one move during the night. The goods were placed at the lower part of the house, but he slept upstairs. He was in great terror at the discovery of the robbery. He ob served that a table-cloth in the prisoner's room had been removed and could not be found. Charles Cole, an errand-boy, employed at 37, Alfred place, said he thought he told the prisoner that the silk was in the box marked No. 1. The prisoner made the in quiry before the box was opened. Mr. Ferguson opened the box, the prisoner being present. Some of the silk was taken out, but he could not say whether it was put back. It was about 12 o'clock at noon when the box was opened. Rosa Cohen said she was a servant residing at Mr. Marks, and was so on the night of the robbery. On that day she fastened up the door. She placed a string in such a manner on the door that no person could force it open without breaking the string. Before she went to bed she asked the prisoner to call her at five o'clock the next morn ing, and he said it was time enough for any servant to get up at seven o'clock. She saw all the silk safe before she went to bed. She had the conversation with the prisoner about half-past ten in the evening. The prosecutor had gone to bed. She heard the prisoner come up to call Mr. Marks at six o'clock, and say thieves had been in the house, and had taken the silks and the table cover away. Cross-examined—Mr. Marks locked the front door, but she knew that before she went to bed all the doors were secure, and all the inmates had retired to rest. By Mr. Vaughan—The prisoner went to his bed about half-past4ten. It was in the back parlour. She sow the cloth on the table after the prisoner's bed was made up on the sofa. Two men were at work painting the house out side, but none within. Only one person came to open the box. All the persons who lodged in the house on the night of the robbery still remain there; none have left. Police Constable 86 E, said on the morning of the 26th of Sept. he was on duty near Mr. Mark's house. He wen t up to the street door and found it open. He rang the bell; when the prisoner came to the door in his shirt. He (wit ness) then went into his room, and, on looking at his trousers, said he had lost throe sovereigns. Downstairs he found a screwdriver and a pair of pincers. By Mr. Vaughan—Prisoner said ho could not account for the door being open. Ho (prisoner) also made the re mark that the tablecloth had been taken away. Mr. Marks, the prisoner, and he (witness) went downstairs to see whe ther the silk was safe, when it was discovered that a largo quantity of silk had been stolen. Ho noticed that the area door was wide open, and examined the place minutely and could not find marks of violence on any part of the pre mimes. There were no marks on the wall of the back yard. • Robert Carter, 117 E, said that last Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock the prisoner was given into his custody by the first witness. Ho told him he was charged with stealing a quantity, of silk from the kitchen over which he (prisoner) slept. The prisoner said some one had stolen three sovereigns from his pocket and a table cloth from the room in which•he slept while he •was in bed. Ho denied all knowledge of the silk. On the way to the station-house he said "recollect one thing, it was brought from Holland on the cross ; I might as well have it on the cross as them." He then said his poor old mother, if she knew he was locked up, would break lief heart. Mr. Lewis said that was as far as he could carry the case that day, and he therefore had to ask for a remand until that day week. He should also oppose the applica tion to admit the prisoner to bail. Mr. Vaughan said as the case had been materially strengthened ho should refuse to accept bail for the pri soner's appearance. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY, AT A RAILWAY STATION.—Edward Kelly, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 191bs. of copper, the property of the London and North Western Railway company, on their premises, Kaydon-square, Minories. Mr. Henry Pusey, a shipper at the station of the rail way company, saw the prisoner beating up some copper in the goods department, and after he had done so he put it under his coat and passed out of the gateway into the street. He was taken into custody by Mr. Pusey and Mack Perry, a foreman, and the copper taken from him. He said a man in the wool department gave him the copper. It was valued at 7s. Gd. The prisoner, in defence, said ho had the copper, but it was given to him. . . Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. IDLE PAUPERS.—Four casual paupers, named James Clark, aged 37, Edward Lawrence, 21, William Banson, 21; and Charles Skinner, 19, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with refusing to execute the task of work assigned to them in the workhouse of St. George-in-the- East, where they were provided each with a bed and the usual rations, and they refused to pick 21bs. of oakum each. They now said if the magistrate would permit them they would go back to the workhouse and finish the work assigned them. _ _ _ Mr. Paget—No, certainly not. You will go to the. House of Correction and to hard labour for 11 days each. MARLBOROUGH STREET. EXTRAORDINARY ASSAULT ON DOCTOR.—Sarah Knight and Caroline Galten, two unfortunays, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Dr. John Hamilton, of No. 404, Oxford-street. Dr. Hamilton said that about 10 o'clock last night, while leaving his house, smoking a cigar at the time, and not having quite closed his door, he saw the prisoners, one of them having her hair hanging all over her face coming along the street. One of the prisoners then came up to him and seized him round the waist. He told them to go away, and his hat• was then knocked off. He stopped to pick it up and the prisoners flew at him, struck him, scratched his face, tore his hair, pulled his coat sleeve off, and, in fact, behaved, like two infuriated beasts. He ran into a neighbour's shop for protection, and afterwards went to his own house, and while waiting for the servant to open the door the prisoners came up and assailed him with a volley of the most disgusting abuse. The prisoners were kept away from him by several persons, and when a con stable came, up he gave them into custody, the prisoner Knight having his coat sleeve in her hand. The damage done to his coat amounted to 108. Mr. Frederick Brookes, artist, gave similar evidence. Wilson, 110 C, said that both prisoners had boon drinking Inspector Bowles said that Knight had been tried for a murder in Barleycourt and acquitted ; she was committed for trial for wilful damage in Oxford-street, and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment ; and she had been about a dozen times charged with disorderly conduct and assaults. The prisoners said they had been out drinking all day, and were drunk together. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear that Knight was one of the bad characters infesting London, and he should commit her for a month. The other prisoner would be committed for IA days. lIOBCRAFT v. DIXHEIMER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sig,—Your report of the above case, on the 26th ult., makes it appear that the defendant detained my Correggio for rent I owed to him. 1 beg to say that I never had any business with him ; never was his tenant, and never owed him anything. The facts aro these. The person that cleaned the picture for me was his tenant, and the defendant detained my painting for a debt of his, I believe £l2, in preference to other security. It was this person that gave the evidence, and not me ; hence the mistake your reporter has fallen into. Your correction of this error will oblige your obedient servant, WM. HOBCRAFT. Terrific Fire at the Hatchana Wax and Paraffin Works. Yesterday evening, about seven o'clobk, a fire of a most destructive nature broke Gut at the Hatcham Wax and ParaffineWorks, the property of Messrs. Leech and Hatha way, situate at the bottom of James-street, Old Kent road, and alongside of the Surrey Canal. Shortly after the fire was discovered a column of flame, nearly 200 feet in height, shot forth, and lastednearly an hour, only being oc casionally broken by an explosion from the ignition of another quantity of paraffine, there being an extensive stock both of paraffine and wax on the premises at the time. One of the explosions was of such a frightful kind, the flames spreading to such an extent that the crowd of persons assembled in James-street ran in a frenzied manner a con siderable distance before they dared to stop, and several persons—there being a large number collected on the bank of the canal—jumped into the water, fearing the flames would reach them, but they were all got out in safety. About half-an-hour after the out break a small engine arrived, and after the lapse of another half-hour some of the land steam-engines arrived, and, having set to work in a most energetic man ner, succeeded in about three-quarters of an hour in ex tinguishing the fire. At one time there was great fear that a high shaft would fall, but fortunately it did not. Very little of the property was saved, and the loss to the proprietors of the place must be extensive. Considerable damage was done to adjoining property. MARIO TS.--This Day. MARK ',Ana. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate.

Although at that period the treaties with the Zollverein were too recent to permit of their effects being judged, the Chamber of Com meace in the Palatinate shows that far from justi fying the fears which had been conceived, the new stipulations have developed the relations and created reciprocal advantages which will be one day more appreciated. Several branches of manufactures, those of linen and leather especially, have attained a very remarkable degree of prosperity. That pro gress appears to have improved the condition of the poor. Thus the number of persons who were re ceiving public relief ten years ago was 24,723, and has now decreased to 19,273, although the popula tion in Bavaria has augmented as elsewhere. . During the month of August the railway between Warsaw and Vienna conveyed 61,221 passengers, 38,000 pouds (331bs. each) of luggage, 1,713,549 of merchandise, 1,299,097 of coal, and 3,852 horses or head of cattle. The Warsaw and Bromberg railway in the same period carried 21,181 passengers, 10,377 ponds of luggage, 104,890 of merchandise, 511,456 of coal, and 2,691 horses or head of cattle. The Warsaw and Lodzi railway conveyed 6,899 passengers and 56,506 pouds of merchandise. The liquidators of the European Bank (Limited) have declared a first dividend of 3s. 4d. in the pound to the creditors, and they believe they will be in a position to make another payment at the end of the year.

Stewards : Marquis of Hastings, Earl of Stamford and Warrington, George Payne, Esq., and George Bryan, Esq. Handicappers : Messrs. Weatherby. Judge : Mr. Clark. Clerk of the Scales : Mr. Manning. Sttivter : Mr. M‘George. Clerk of the Course : Mr. T. Marsh all. The experiment to hold a meeting at Northampt on in the Bedford week was tried yesterday with but moderate success, for although a good programme was issued, the racing was indifferent and uninteresting, and the fields small. The meeting is a speculation of some of the inha bitants of the town, and although the management is en trusted to the same efficient staff of officials that have been identified with the Spring Meeting, the race committee have no monetary interest whatever in the affair. The ring was only moderately attended, but the Stand was well patronised, although throughout the afternoon there was au absence of exciting features, speculation On the Cesare witch and Cambridgeshire being unimportant. Racing commenced at two o'clock with the Ecton Handicap, seven only of the nineteen animals coloured on the card going to the post. Immediately the betting opened Novice was made favourite, 5 to 2 being eventually taken, but Vigi lant, who made his first appearance this season, and having a long way the best of the weights, got well off, and won as he liked from Venturesome and Cedric, the latter conceding to him no less than 401 b. Sir Charles Rushout obtained the barren honour of a place with Moonbeam, who carried the top weight for the succeeding event, the Two Year Old Handl-, cap, and her impost did not stall-off the "talent," who, remembering her recent form, took 5 to 2 about her readily. She failed, however, to concede a stone and a half to Stokeley, who, it will be remembered, beat a large field at Odiham. The Cottesbrooke Welter Cup, reduced to a match between Little Ellen and Wild Dove, also went to the representative of Mr. Brayley, who thus carried off two races in succession. The principal event of the meeting —the Autumn Handicap—followed, the absentees from the ten "coloured" being Breadalbane,- Provisor, and Drum. Pintail had rather an attractive aspect with 7st 131 b, but it was reported that she was not up to the mark, and, at the close, Laugham, who only received 41b for the two years, was quite as good a favourite. Among the other competitors was Plutus, but as was the case at Newmarket in the October Handicap he could not stay, and the two "pots" were easily upset by Miss Harriette, who won over this course in the spring. The remainder of the races fell through, and during the intervals there were some betting on the Cesare witch and Cambridgeshire, the feature of the betting on the first event being the advance of Lee turer, who was freely supported down to 30 to 1. Pin tail's wretched performance had a somewhat prejudicial ef fect on Jollity, against whom 14 to 1 was offered, but Bradamante was .not affected in the slightest degree by the indifferent form displayed by her stable companion, and, although not supported, at 9 to 1 she was remarkably firm, backers offering to accept a shade over those odds to large sums. Proserpina, who came with such startling rapidity into a, prominent position in the quotations on Monday, maintained her place at 12 to 1. The remainder of the transactions require no comment, the list of the quotations appended to the day's running at once indicating the amount of business transacted. Subjoined are details of the racing : The ECTON PLATE of 50 sous (Handicap); winners after Sept. 27 (at 10 a.m.) 71b extra; about five furlongs, straight. Mr. T.

After a trifling delay at the post, the lot got well away, Vigilant making play with a clear lead of Skiff and Cedric, Venturesome heading the remainder to the brow of the hill, where Skiff dropped away, and Venturesome improved his position, but Vigilant, gradually increasing the lead, won easily by five lengths from Venturesome, who de feated Cedric about a length for second place ; Novice was fourth; Lady Valentine and Skiff, head and head, were next, and Gundrede last. The TWO-YEAR-OLD HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 40 added; winners after Sept. 27 (at 10 a.m.) 51b extra ; half a mile; 19 subs.

Several breaks-away occurred, but even to illy the flag fell to a good start, Stokeley getting away iu trout ; but in a few strides Changeable took up the run ning, closely attended by Moonbeam, Stokeloy, General Kmety, and Canard, and in this order they ran to the brow of the hill, where Moonbeam, on the inside, joined the leader. At-the half-distance Stokeley headed Moonbeam and Changeable, and coming away about 200 yards from home won cleverly by a length ; about a neck divided second and third, the Testy colt was fourth, Changeable colt, close up, fifth, General Kmety sixth, Variation seventh, Alcazar eighth, and Miss Calthorpe and Glen garnock last.

Mr. M'George succeeded in despatching the seven on pretty equal terms, Pintail tak ing a slight lead of Miss Harriette for the first hundred yards, when the last mentioned took up the running, closely attended by Edgbaston, Pintail going on third, Plu tus next, and Langham bringing up the rear. Approach ing the half-mile post, Edgbaston drew up to Miss Har riette, Pintail being about two lengths in the rear of the pair for a short distance, when bhe was passed by Plutus, Arkansas at the same time dropping into the rear. Making the turn for home Langham and Duet improved their respective positions, and Plutus fell back beaten. When fairly in the straight Miss Harriette increased her lead, and, coming away, won easily by six lengths from Langham. Duet was a bad third, Pintail was fourth, Edgbastoa fifth, Arkansas sixth. Plutus did not pass the post. The WOOTTON PARK FREE HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; the winner to bo sold for 50 sovs ; winners after Sept. 27 (at 10 a.m.) 51b extra; one mile. Mr. G.

At the ordinary general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the' Bank of British Columbia, the report presented stated that after paying all charges, deducting rebate of interest on bills not due,- the undivided profits amounted to £11,511 14s. ld., which the directors recommended to be appropriated as follows:—£B,94o in payment of a dividend at the rate of six per annum ; £2,000 to reserve fund, which fund, after making deductions of £21,200 for bad debts, will have a balance to its credit of £20,000, leaving the sum of £604 16s. Id. to be carried forward to current half-year. The annexation of Venice to Italy is to be marked at Venice by the re-opening of the Venice Theatre, which has been so long closed. The director of La Scala, at Milan, has undertaken to arrange the first twelve performances. The vine harvest is expected to be a bad one all over Italy. The production has been small, and the oidium has committed ravages among the grapes which are coming to maturity. The Western Morning News states the nondna. tion of candidates at Falmouth is fixed for the 15th. Mr. Smith and Mr. Fowler have completed their canvass, and hare for tho present left the borough. There has been an extraordinary catch of pilchards in Mount's Bay during the last few days. A large " school" was discovered on Saturday stretching from St. Michael's Mount to Penzance Vier. The owners of one net realised five hundred hogsheads, which would make a million and a quarter fish. On Saturday Mounts Bay presented a very busy scene, the continual arrival of large boats laden with fish, the shovelling them out into baskets, and the carrying of these off to the cellars where the fish are cured, kept a large number of people in a state of activity and excitement. The bulk of the fish is sent to the Mediterrangan, Wesleyan Cornwall supplying Rome with its chief diet.— Western Morning News Admiral Fitzroy's system of storm warnings has, as everybody knows, signally failed, and a Royal Com mmission has stated thus much. But we aro no better off than we were before the commission was appointed. What can be more absurd than to station our meteorological ob servatory at Kew, and to issue warnings from thence, when the great majority of the storms that visit these islands come from the south-west ? It is as if a general, knowing the direction from which the enemy approached, were, in stead of advancing to meet him, to retire 300 miles to the rear, to await the news transmitted by a drummer boy that his position was being attacked We shall have no proper system of meteorological observation until we have sentries at the most advanced outpost, until, that is, we have an observatory on the south-west coast of Ireland.—Eastern Morning News. THE WEATHER AND THE CHOLERA IN DEVON. SHlR.E.—According to the Western Morning News, the ex traordinaiy quantity of one foot of rain (within a small fraction) fell in Devonshire during September. It rained 29 days out of the 30. The same paper states that the number of deaths from-elislera- has been at least 70. Yet the Exeter papers refused to say a word about the epidemic. HOP-PICKING IN KENT.—Hop-picking its so far completed in the distt:ct surrounding Maidstone that the South-Eastern Railway Company have commenced run ning their special trains for the conveyance of pickers back to London. On Saturday about 2,000 were despatched, and on Sunday 2,200. On Monday only 500 were sent from Maidstone, but each day the numbers will increase as the work is completed. A gentleman in the neighbour hood has visited 29 districts, and he g:ves the average growth of hops at 6j cwt. per acre, and states the quality to be excellent. The health of the disti:ct has again im proved, there having been but two deaths from cholera during the week. There have been 23 new attacks and 28 recoveries. Several vendors of stale fish were on Mon day brought before the county magistrates. The offenders had made themselves liable to a penalty of £2O, under the Diseases Prevention Act, for each fish offered for sale. The magistrates sentenced each defendant to a month's imprisonment. HOLBORN THEATRE ROYAL.—The new Holborn theatre, the youngest and by no means one of the largest of our metropolitan temples of the drama, may certainly be considered one of the best arranged and most comfort able. In this respect its youth is in its favour, the great improvements achieved during the last few years in the science of ventilation having been brought to boar with admirable effect. As a general rule, even the handsomest and best ventilated theatres aro anything but pleasing to the sense of smell ; a fact easily understood when we bear in mind that such is the entire absence of windows in the great majority, that even at midday rehearsals the scanty gleam of daylight has to be freely eked out with gas before the performers can see their way in safety about the stage. Mr. Sefton Parry, the enterprising proprietor of the new theatre, has at all events steered clear of this error, and his stage in the daytime is as light as any ordinary draw ing-room, whilst a full number of windows, suPPle malted by au ample provision of other means of von tilation, affords so abundant a supply of fresh air, that we may fairly expect the theatre to continue througho u tt. Great career as fresh and sweet as at the present n 2 : attention has also been paid to the com fort in other respects. The stalls aro softly-cushioned fn e t: visitors most arm chairscomfort- of really luxurious dimensions;b and all other parts able, in fact, of any theatre in L ondon well provided.o v of the house are in their degree equally : n en d with a total dis completed in the most The fittings also have all r a ffording strong con style of theatrical work rceogmaprldeteofandoo:lti;orotu.hg.ehroi!nty trust to the prevailing • • usually run up with a single eye to public view ate from n omy.

Johnston and Bessie Foote.—Autuntn Edition of the "Brown Book." MUNDEN's Dromio was no doubt a very admira ble performance. To • this actor, although he makes no mention ' of his appearance in this particular part, it will be remembered that Lamb has devoted ono of his " Elia" essays, "In the grand grotesque of farce," he writes, "Munden stands out as single and unaccompanied as Hogarth." Mr. Sergeant Talfourd described him as the most classical of actors: as being in high farce what Kern ble was in high tragedy. Tho lines of the two artists, ho admitted, were sufficiently distinct ; but ho discovered the same elements in both ; the same directness of purpose, the same singleness of aim, the same concentration of power, the same iron casing of inflexible manner, the same statue like precision of gesture, movement, and attitude. . . . There is something solid, sterling, almost adamantine, in the building up of his grotesque characters. . . When he fixes his wonder-working face is any of its most amaz ing varieties, it looks as if the picture were carved out from a rock by nature in a sportive vein, and might last for ever. . . . His most fantastical gestures aro the grand ideal of farce. . . . His expressions of feeling and bursts of enthusiasm are among the most genuine which we have ever felt. Munden was a pupil of Shuter ; but he surpassed his preceptor in variety. His Old Dorn ton, in " The Road to Ruin," of which character he was the original representative, exhibited a pathetic power rare among comic actors. Though often wildly extravagant in farce, his performances in high comedy were accounted natural and artistic, while marked with a forcible indivi duality.---Once a Wei. 104 10 100 I
