The anniversary dinner of the Royal Academy is always one of the most attractive festivals of the London season, and it presents many advantages of a particular nature. All shades of politicians can there meet and discuss the prospects of Art, in which they have a common interest. The enter tainment of last Saturday was a very brilliant one, and graced with the presence of royalty. The Prince of WALES and Prince ALFRED both appeared to do honour to the affair, and this circumstance afforded great satisfaction to the company. Sir FRANCIS GRANT was well supported on this, his first occasion of occupying the chair as President. In proposing the health of the Prince of WALES he appropriately observed that he could wish his Royal Highness "no greater happiness than that, considering the cares and anxieties which must natu rally belong to his exalted position, he may be able to understand and enjoy the soothing influences of a love of art." In this respect the present Royal Family are very fortunate, for all its members seem to inherit the tastes of its parents, and in nothing can the example of his illustrious father be better followed by his Royal highness than in cultivating the love of those refining arts among the commu nityd which have already done so mu c h to i nspire and elevate the present generation. In returning thanks the Prince of WALES made a touching allu sion to the great loss which the Academy sustained last year in the death of its President, Sir C HARLES EASTLAKE. In referring to the nature of the exhi bition then before them, his Royal Highness de clared that it was of a peaceful tendency, and the only painting of a warlike tendency to which he would refer was one called " Volunteers at a Firing Point, ,, which was interesting, as showing that at present Volunteers were not required to come for ward in a direct manner for the defence of their country. The President made an interesting speech, com mencing with paring a tribute to the memory of LAEE, and declaring that the difficulty of hi s own position was enhanced by the circumstance of hi s ha Succeed one so famous and so gifted. Anotherifißsa to o,T' o heavy loss to the Academy w as the death of M r . G European reputa tion, and of whom Sir C. EA' sTLf great once observed, that " the union of su c h simplicity with suc h remarkable integrity and character was absolutely sublime". M. plicity of Mr. G testified his love of art to the insoN last, in bequeathing, to the Academy the original east , of all his works, some statues in marble, and a large s um of money. A fter mentioning the pride w hi ch all must take in the British School of Art that had been so " honourably recognised" by foreig n nations, the President admitted that, with the ge neral body of artists, the Academy did not enjoy deserved popularity. He trusted that this would be in a great measure altered for the better, how ever, when they had more space. The public will learn with surprise and regret that one hundred and eighty is the annual average of " accepted which are returned ,solely from want of space, and have patiod the judgment worLs, of the assembled council as of suffix ient merit. We share in the hope expressed by tlae President that better days are in store, and that we shall soon have a building that more adequately r epresents the necessities of the times. Sir FRATACIS gave an amusing illustration from one of Sir WALTER SCOTT'S novels about a certain artist named DICK Tmo, who was originally a sign.-painter, but who afterwards set up in London, where he was getting on so well that " now he has got to damning the hanging committee at Somerset-hofise." I sup pose," said the President, that we shall. always have our D ICK TINTS, but confidently expect that when we have increased accommodation we shall rally round us all the best artists in the country." Earl RUSSELL spoke briefly, and seemed labouring under indisposition. The noble lord referred to the advantages that might be derived from Exhibitions of the kind before them, and the commemoration of these . acts, which were recorded in the pages of history, might serve to stimulate the young who contemplated them to deeds of heroism. The immortal works of our lite rature are also illustrated by the talent and re sources of art. As the'noble lord happily observed, A r t thus contributes to the promotion of litera ture, and in its turn gathers from it freshness, variety, and vigour ; and thus all these heroic deeds, literature, and art contrive to form into one wreath of national glory, making one proud of the name of England." Lord DERBY made some interesting remarks, and expressed the satisfaction which he felt at hearing his name associated with an undertaking which had excited great attention and interest among artists, and with the public generally, namely, the National Portrait Exhibition. The noble Earl declared that those who understood 1 this work were under the greatest obligations to many, and particularly to the President of the Council. Her MAJESTY, before a fortnight had passed from the announcement of this exhibition, most considerately placed at their disposal every portrait in all the Royal Palaces, excepting a few in the private apartments. This illustri ous example was followed by the heads of many noble houses, and, indeed, nearly all the great collections of the country have contributed their share to the great undertaking. Lord DERBY said that, considering all things, " there never has been in this country, or any other, a contempo raneous exhibition of portraits so calculated to excite the interest of the artist and student of history as that which now adorns the walls of Kensing ton," As Lord DERBY observed—" We may notice the extent to which we were in former days depen dent upon the assistance of foreign artists. But we may date the rise of a School of British Art from about the commencement of the eighteenth century, especially art in portraiture, in which we have not been surpassed. " Beginning with Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, GAINS BOROUGH, ROMNEY, LAWRENCE—these four in succession form a constellation of artists reflecting the highest credit on the British school of art." Altogether we may say the gathering at the Academy on Saturday was not inferior to any of a similar nature which have inaugurated the art season in the Metropolis, and in some respects it was far beyond the average, both from the ex cellence of the speeches made, and the interest of the subject on which they treated. The most important part of the intelligence which we receive from New York by the Asia is the summary of the diplomatic correspondence which the PRESIDENT has laid before the House of Repre sentatives. The correspondence between Paris and New York respecting the French troops in Mexico has been actively carried on during the last few months, and at length a definite result has been arrived at, although the removal of the troops has been postponed as long as possible by the French Government. There is a good deal said on both sides about the traditional alliance between the two countries from the time of the revolutionary war, and M. DROUTN DE LIIITYS disclaims any idea of active interference. Intestine war, he de clares, has become the normal condition of Mexico, and the present opposition to MAXIMILAN gives no proof of the unpopularity of an Imperial form of Government, but is merely the result of previous anarchy. All States need allies, he adds, senten tiously—an aphorism which Mr. SEWARD meets with the plain intimation that the United States do not regard the Government of MAXIMILIAN as legitimate, and capable of forming alliances. He concludes by asking for definite information regard ing the removal of the French troops, adding, that the withdrawal need not be delayed from any year, and that the United States would forsake their avowed policy of non-intervention. This statement appears to have reassured the French Government, since on the 6th of last month M. DRoUYN DE LHUYS writes to M. DE MONTHOLON that France receives it with confidence and finds them sufficient guarantee no longer to delay the removal of the forces. The EMPEROR has decided that his troops shall evacuate Mexico in three detachments, in November, 1866, in March, 1867, and in November, 1867. This is certainly, as we have said, putting off the evil day as long as possible, and giving plenty of time for the thousand-and-one chances of war and diplomacy to interrupt the fulfilment of the promise. Nevertheless it is something gained to have an epoch definitely fixed, and the chances of a rupture between the two Powers avoided. The Emperor of the FRENCH no doubt thinks that he has quite enough on his hands just now, in watching the condition of Continental politics ; and in case of a European war he does not wish to be hampered and entangled by a costly, unprofit able, and unpopular war in Central America. At any rate by fixing these dates for the removal of his army he has avoided a rupture with the Washington Government, and has left hi mse lf comparatively free for action if he pleases. If the situation of European politics is such as to render the Emperor of the FRENCH unwillingilmoreto drift into a war across the Atlanti c , should similar reluctance be felt by the Austrian Emperor. It is not exactly the time, one would think, for Austria to spare her soldiers for Mexico, yet we find that Mr. MOTLEYinMarch last informed Mr. SEWARD that it was probable that Austria would permit the levy of 4,000 volunteers for Mexico, and following up this intelligence a little later with the news that 1,000 Austrians were about -to embark for Mexico at Trieste. Mr. SEWARD has assumed a lirm attitude on this subject, and has plainly informed the Austrian Government that in the event of the Austrians taking part in that this the M ex i can strugg l e the United States will n ot remain neutral. It is to be ho p ed h Austrian Mexicandirect i n ti ma tion will induce the Governm a e ff n a t ir t s o .

The unwarrantable conduct of the Spaniaxclii Will thus-receive A cheek , and we hope the unjust war will not be continued much longer, but that the independence of the gallant little Southern Republics may be finally and completely secured. The Fenian movement appears to. be sub siding into its natural dimensions. The affair on the New Brunswick frontier is considered by the New York press to be " a collapsed bubble," and the excitement is rapidly abating. The fact is, that, as on former occasions, the Hiber nian heroes retreat when they find the preparations made for them are really in earnest. Two com panies of Federal artillery have arrived at Eastport, and Federal troops guard the bridge between Calais and St. Stephen's, and the consequence is that the Fenians are all leaving Eastport. The old adage about grasping a nettle has been illustrated in the case of the Fenians, but that they intended mis chief is amply proved by the arms and ammunition they provided. There is a great deal being said just now about the preservation of the few open spaces which the remorseless iron horse and the ambitious builder have allowed Londoners to retain within their reach. There is every reason for taking due pre cautions on behalf of Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest, Wimbledon Common, and other places of the kind ; but while we are discussing and considering the best means of protecting them, we are suffering a most lamentable injury to be inflicted upon one of our beautiful and popular parks. It will be some thing new to many to hear that parks and enclosures are also engendered by the innovations of the age ; yet such is the case, and after expending large sums and taking great care of a public park, we are now to see it seriously damaged, if not irretrievably ruined. It is proposed to erect enormous gas works within 300 yards of Victoria Park, which will, when completed, daily consume about 2,000 tons of coal. We may easily imagine the effect upon the trees, shrubs, and grass, and we should certainly have Park-lane and Piccadilly in an uproar if the West end parks were threatened with a similar fate. We cannot see why such a pleasant and healthful source of recreation should be taken from the hard pressed thousands of the Eastern parishes, who are for the most part quite out of reach either of the green fields or the Western Parks and gardens. Victoria Park was laid out on purpose for their benefit, and very amply have they availed themselves of its ad vantages. There can be no doubt that the gas-works will prove, as a gentleman connected with the neighbdUrhood styles them, "an intoler able nuisance." And why should this nuisance be inflicted on so large and populous a district ? One of the three companies, who are bent on vic timising the Park, endeavoured to obtain the neces sary ground at Fulham, but the attempt failed owing to the strong opposition of the residents. The inhabitants of the poor and densely crowded neighbourhood of Victoria Park are doing what they can, and on Saturday evening held a public meeting on the subject, at which petitions were signed, a committee appointed, and other measures. resolved upon. There is no time to lose, however, for the bills are to be read a second time this evening, so that we hope the real friends of the working classes will bestir themselves. It is a strange way of showing our regard for the health and mcrals of our arti sans and mechanics, if, in spite of all our professions about their political rights and our anxiety for their education and instruction, we suffer so great a grievance to be inflicted upon them as the de struction of their beautiful and much-cherished park. News from the Continent does not seem to reassure us respecting the probability of peace, and indeed we may say, on the contrary, that war seems more likely of the two. Count Bis- MARK has worked things up to such a pitch that it is almost impossible now for Prussia to be ex tricated, either from her difficulty with Austria, or with the other German States. At any rate, it is evident that the Prussian Government are resolved to be prepared for emergencies, and we find that Ministerial ordinances were issued on Saturday placing restrictions on the granting of passports to Prussian subjects who wish to go abroad. This mea sure has been taken in consequence of the steps now being adopted to place the different divisions of the army on a war footing. The eighth army corps, whose head-quarters are at Coblentz, are also to be mobilised. It is said that the French dispatch to Austria touching the armaments in Austria way couched in the most civil terms, and only requested explanations. The Austrian Government, in reply, stated that it would keep up a defensive attitude. A mutual undertaking was come to, that in case of Italy attacking Venetia Austria would not secure any of the eventual results of victory without the diplomatic intervention of France. Rumours are afloat in Vienna to the effect that the Austrian Ambassador in Berlin and the Prussian Ambassador in Vienna will soon be recalled. Warlike movements are prevailing in Austria, and the whole style of the intelligence has changed during the last few days, and in conse qaence of the military measures lately taken by Prussia, Austria and Saxony are said to have com bined their forces in Bohemia. Count MENSDORFF had some foundation for his remark to the French Ambassador, that the Austrian Government could not rely upon the declaration of Italy so long as that assertion was so much at variance with fact. Now that we seem again on the verge of hostilities, we may more than ever deplore the mischievous and mistaken policy which has led to such a catastrophe. The conduct of the Prussian Government has for the last year or two tended to this result ; nor is Austria free from blame. Had she resolutely re sisted the efforts of her ally in the Schleswig-Hol stein affair matters would never have come to the pass they have. We have here a notable instance of want of faith in Governments and want of honour in public men that can never fail to produce lamentable consequences, and which may seem likely to convulse Europe and to plunge the nations of the Continent into all the horrors of war —war, too, which will have no definite aim or object to counteract its evils, or any solid gain to compensate for its losses. MR. HARVEY, M.P.—The liberal and inde pendent vote given by this hon. member on the Franchise Bill has afforded great satisfaction to his constituents, a large number of whom petitioned in favour of the bill. The Conservatives affect to be surprised at Mr. Harvey's inde pendence, but it seems unaccountable that they should be so. He has never ranked as a party man ; was always neutral, we believe, even in the sharpest municipal and Parliamentary contests for this city; and, when induced to enter the council, though nominated by the Conserva tives, he took his seat amongst the Liberals, and his first speech and vote were adverse to the party that elected him. Moreover, if we remember rightly, in his first address to the electors of Thetford, he avowed himself " A man of progress," and in his address to them at the last election, he used the words, " Nor do I class my self with any political party ; I believe that an independent representative best subserves political interests ;" and he expressed his determination to support " measures irrespec tive of party." We hope the hon. member will continue to exhibit this independence throughout his parliamentary career, abstaining from abject submission to the whip either of Mr. Brand or Col. Taylor, and placing in the fore igarroguen.tl rights,.t.\,hroerfibnitx,er\e_esiitss,. and liberties of the people at At the recent election in Madison, Wisconsin, thirty-live negroes e.i.ereised the right of suffrage under the recta clecilii9A §uprenw Gout of that tate. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1866. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PA.RIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Paris papers to-day, in giving a summary of their telegraphic and other news, describe it as still tending towards war. The Sicle says—" If, as we are assured, the Saxons, commanded by King John in person, are on the march to the frontiers of Prussia, it must be confessed that there will be a remarkable concentration of troops at Prague. But what does it matter ? M. Thiers possesses talent enough to prove to the majority of the Legislative Body that it is the fault of Italy." The same paper says that every one at Vienna believes that the time has come for the cannon to speak. The negotiations are only continued as a matter of form, for every one knows what to think of the policy of Prussia. Troops and cannon tra verse the city on their way to the north and south railway stations. The excitement produced at the Bourse by the speech of M. Thiers had not subsided yesterday. lle•introduced a new element of discord, or, at all events, of difficulty, in regard to Italy, by urging France not to allow her to attack Austria with a view to regain possession of Venetia. Even M. Jules Favre, who coincides in the general views of M. Thiers, dissented from this portion of his argu ment, and said that France had made great sacri fices for Italy, and ought to support her in further aspirations for complete independence. " Should Italy desire to reconquer Venetia," said M. Favre, " she had the right to do so." The mischief of AI. Thiers' speech seems to be that he said one thing and meant another. His fiery denunciations of the Powers for deserting Denmark told too well. One is reminded of the story of the plaintiff who, on hearing his advocate unfold in successive detail the story of his griefs, burst into tears, and said he never knew before that he had been so much wronged. Politicians had forgotten how sacrificel Denmark has been until Al. Thiers unfolded the story of her spoliation with added force and bitter colouring. The frequenters of the Bourse, however, were agi tated by the more practical and pressing philippics of M. Thiers against Prussia. All along he pro fessed his desire to be for a pacific solution of the difficulty between Austria and Prussia, but the financial world, at all events, is feelingly alive to what would be the result if France should take the advice he gives. "France," said M: Thiers, "ought to disavow Prussian policy—first, in the name of equity; and, next, in the triple interest of Germany, France, and society generally. The Government said it would preserve neutrality. That was some thing, but it was not enough. No oue would be insensate enough to say that to avoid war you must go to war ; but could not France adopt another mode than war to stop the progress of a dangerous policy ?" Although M. Thiers has a world-wide reputation, the occasion may not be inappropriate to say a few words of his personal characteristics. M. Thiers was born at Marseillies on the 16th April, 1797, and is consequently in his 70th year. He is short of stature, has a weak voice, and is of delicate organi sation ; but little vivacity and movement can be observed in his mild speaking. Some of the French orators in the Chamber, on the contrary, " out Herod-Herod" by their violence and gesticulations. One would almost think that M. Thiers had for gotten Hamlet's advice to the players—" Be not too tame either." In person and manner he some what resembles Earl Russell. He was a Democrat by birth but an aristocrat by taste. M. Thiers was received as an advocate in 1820, but did not long follow the legal profession. In 1821 he was one of the editors of the Constitutionnel. As historian, M. Thiers is too well known to need a word of notice, but every one is not aware that he has realised large sums by his writings—perhaps more than a million of francs. His " History of the Consulate and the Empire " was purchased by M. Paulin, the bookseller, for 500,000 f. The Biennial Academia prize of 20,000 f., founded by the Emperor, was awarded to him. He accepted the honour, but devoted the money to a new prize. In addition to his historical works, M. Thiers wrote "Le Salon de 1822—Law, and his System of Finance," " The Monarchy of 1830," " The Right of Property," " The Pyrenees and the South of France," and also various memoirs, speeches, and commentaries. The Chinese Mission, whose arrival at Mar seilles I mentioned, has reached Paris. The mem bers of it were sent to Europe by the Prince Kong, Regent of the Celestial Empire, with the order to traverse, but without any official character, France, England, Belgium, Prussia, Denmark, and Russia. Their object is to study the question of the establish ment of direct diplomatic relations between China and those European Powers who have already concluded treaties with the Chinese Empire. The name of the head of this mission is Pinn-ta-Jen. For many years he has held the position of sub-director of the European Custom-houses in China. He is accom panied to Europe by Mr. Hart, an Englishman, Inspector-General of these Custom-houses, who is going to England on leave of absence. Pinn-ta- Jen, who has lived much with Europeans, and is acquainted with the mode in which they conduct business, is a man of enlightened mind, who can appreciate the advantages of European administra tion, and who has the intention to introduce im provements into that of China. He is a member of the Imperial Council of Trong-li-Yanien, and possesses the entire confidence of Prince Kong. He brings with him four or five men of letters of different ranks, and four young pupil interpreters, two for the French language and two for the English. The affecting ceremony which takes place on the sth of May, the anniversary of the death of Napo leon, was observed yesterday in Paris with unde min ished reverence. Early in the morning imm ortalles and various funeral emblems were placed on the column in the Place Vendome, as well as great quantities of flowers. The old soldiers of the grand army on this day put on again the uniforms they wore in the field. In diminished numbers they marched to the column, and after assembling at the Staff of the Major-General commanding the city of Paris, they proceeded with the flag in advance to the Invalides, where a solemn service to the memory of the Emperor was performed in the presence of the Governor, troops, National Guards, Senators, and many eminent men. A company of old soldiers did the honours at the Invalids. A commemorative mass was performed at the Tuileries before the Emperor and Empress. It was on the sth of May, 1821, that Napoleon the First died at St. llelena. The 3[oniteur of the 7th July, 1821, contained the following " We have received by express the English papers of the 4th inst. The death of Buonaparte is of ficially announced. The Courier gives this news. Buonaparte is no more. He died on Saturday, the sth of May, at six o'clock in the evening, after a languishing illness, which confined him to his bed for more than 40 days." A remarkable poisoning case has just been tried before the Court o f A ss i ze for t h e d e partment of the Orne. The victim was a man named Lefevre , who resided at Batilly. Th e persons c harged with the murder were hi s w if e and a man n amed Denault, with whom she was known to be on intimate terms. It was p rove d that t h e d ea th of the man was caused by d r i n ki ng c id er, i n which phos phorus had been dissolved. Denault was acquitted, but the jury found the wife guilty, and she was sentenced to hard labour for life. Stern old winter is gone again, it is to be hoped not to return until th e reasona bl e t i me for his reap pearance. The weather has been warm, bright, and magnificent to-day. Almost all Paris has taken advantage of it, and has been to Versailles to see the waters play, or to the fite at Billancourt, a charming country vale, about half-way between Paris and Versailles. Chantilly races attracted the rest. Count Colonna Walewski.

PARIS, MAY 7. Yesterday the Mayor of Auxerre presented an address to the Emperor Napoleon, to which his Majesty replied as follows: << I see with pleasure that the memory of the first Empire has not been effaced from your minds. Believe me, for my part, I have inherited the feel ings entertained by the chief of my family for this energetic and patriotic population who sustained the Emperor in good as in evil fortune. " I have a debt of gratitude to discharge towards Yonne. This department was the first to give me its suffrages in 1848, because it knew, with the majority of the French people, that its interests were my interests, and that I detested equally with them those treaties of 1815 which it is now sought to make the sole basis of our foreign policy. I thank you for the sentiments you have expressed towards me. " Among you I breathe freely, for it is among the working population both in town and country that I find the real genius of France."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE NORRIS, THE LATE M.P. FOR ABINGDON. This bankrupt, who was formerly M.P. for Abingdon and a Common Councilman for Aldersgate Ward, was de scribed as a printer of Aldersgate, and to-day he came up to pass his last examination and for the order of discharge. The assets show a total indebtedness of £74,262, of whiCh £30,998 is due to creditors unsecured, and £42,671 to creditors secured. The assets consist of good debtor £9,952, doubtful £2,981, property £9,782, property held by creditors £35,413, and deficiency £16,127. Tho ex penditure of the bankrupt for his wife and family has been at the rate of £1,250 per annum. Amongst the creditors holding security are Mr. Alderman Bosley for £3,000. Mr. Linklater, for the assignee, said he was quite satisfied with the accounts, and had no objection to the bankrupt's passing. Mr. Beswick, on behalf of two apprentices, asked Mr. Norris as to the indentures, and the bankrupt said that the boys were bound in his establishment, but the premium went to the foreman of the department in which the boys were apprenticed. Mr. Beswick said it was a very bad case. Mr. Linklater remarked that there was no hardship in the case, as the boys were transferred to Mr. Norris, jun., and were now being taught their trade. His Honour then granted the order of discharge. A good dividend is expected. EXCHEQUER CHAMBERS. (Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice Erle, the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Bramwell, Martin, and Pigott, and Justices Byles and Sbaith.) THE QUEEN T. CHARLOTTE WINSOR. It being understood that their lordships would deliver judgment in tho case of the prisoner this morning, the court was crowded immediately it was opened for tho ad mission of the public. The prisoner, who was brought up in custody of the gaoler of Newgate, accompanied by ono of the female warders, was underneath the registrar's desk facing the bar and kept her head down during the delivery of the judg ment, which occupied only a short time. Lord Chief Justice Erie said that in this case it was pleaded;that there was an error in the record, as the prisoner had been tried by a second jury on the same indictment, but the court were clearly of opinion that there was no such error apparent. They had come to that conclusion, notwithstanding the arguments of the learned counsel on behalf of the prisoner and the authorities which he had cited, because they found that the judge bad authority to dismiss the jury before giving their verdict. They considered that all the authorities, with the excep tion of the Queen v. Conway and Lynch, clearly pointed to the conclusion at which they had arrived. He did not think it necessary to go through all the cases that had been cited, and the court were of opinion that the pro ceedings in this case in the Court of Queen's Bench, and in this court, originated in a statement made by Sir Edward Coke upon which some misap prehension prevailed. If the view taken of that statement was correct then a power would be given to the judge in event of the jury not coming to a verdict, to lock them up till death. They held that the judge had the fullest dis cretion the matter of discharging the jury, because he was the person to decide on its necessity ; and even if he had, according to their opinion, not acted with discretion, still there was no law court which had authority to dispute his action. The learned judge then adverted to some of the argu ments relied on by the counsel for the prisoner, in order to show they were not in conformity with the great leading authorities. He referred next to the argument founded on the alleged inadmissibility of Mary Harris as a witness. That had not been pleaded on the present record ; but even if it had been the Court were of opinion that the evidence was quite admissible. His Lordship then directed that the prisoner, who had been confined in Newgate since the 24th ult., should be delivered by the governor of that jaol to the sheriff for the county of Devon, and be lodged in the county prison to await her Majesty"s pleasure. The prisoner was then removed through the back en trance of the court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Justices',Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) MARSH V. HUGHES AND WRIGHT -ALLEGED LIBEL. This was an application for a rule by the plaintiff, the Rev. William Marsh, to file a criminal information for a libel against the defendants, the first of whom is a farmer, and the latter a printer at Halstead, in Essex, and also the editor of a paper called the Halstead Times. The plaintiff was appointed to the vicarage of Wickensfield, Essex, in 1858, and had resided in that neighbourhood ever since. There was a strong feeling on the part of the Dissenters against paying church-rates, but a rate was made, a majority of 30 of the ratepayers being in its favour. A great deal of angry feeling pervaded the neighbourhood, and the de fendant Hughes, who had been a candidate for the office of churchwarden, and who was a Dissenter, wrote a letter reflecting on the conduct of the plaintiff, the writing and publication of which constituted the libel alleged. The Court considered that the plaintiff had not proven his case.—Rule refused accordingly. ELECTION COMMITTEES—This Day.

On the arrival of Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., at tended by his staff, the columns were inspected by battalions and companies, after which preparations were made for an extensive series of field-day operations, which were exceedingly well carried out by the troops taking part in the manoeuvres.

Adelphi Theatre. At Vic' On Saturday evening an adaptation of ---• torien Sardou's comedy, " La Famille Benoiton't by Mr. B. Webster, jun., entitled the " F ast Family," was produced at this theatre. The p ie :h cannot be said to be exactly suited to an pie: audience, because there are various portions 0 ' c a which persons of right feeling and good taste w° 11 : have wished omitted ; yet, notwithstanding the comedy elicited great applause, and inu st 4 o B pronounced a success. The " Fast Family" eonsis a of an elderly retired tradesman, M. Benoiton, his three daughters and two sons, all of whom are more or less decidedly "rapid." Blanche the eldest, has married a man of business, M. Didier, who with his wife and infant son resided in Benoiton mansion—thus the sayings and doings of the fas o family are presented to the audience. Th e tw a _ unmarried daughters, Rose and Camille, atte n t races, make bets, dress in a sensational style, s;if their chief speculation is a rich husband. a Benoiton boys, one Polydore is a fast student, 913 0 the other, Fanf an, is a spoilt child ; and wh en W o have mentioned the names of a selfish oldgen tlenla o Formichel, his hopeful son Prudent, Visee llu h t a Champrose and Madme. Clotilde d'Evry, ' ll d enumerated the principal parts in the piec e ' ,-% 0 have given a very good idea of the plot. „ to r ‘i married daughter of Benoiton, although degree improved by her marriage, now and then given to extravagance ; this the h u of band discountenances, and the principal featur e 1 by the piece is the jealousy and unhappiness cau sed b ; s the refusal of the husband to provide funds for e 5 wife to purchase some expensive lace which she sou'sepa! not need. This leads to a temporary and then the wife is supposed to have fallen loos e the snares of -the Viscount de Champrose, h eca te a is still eel, when next she is met by the husband the ee' ve , es lace is in her possession. The husband reproae.'idst his wife, she retorts on him, and in the 1111 to of the misery Mdme. Clotilde attempts restore peace, but her good intentions only tell airo increase the quarrel. While this state of 01,0 reigns in the married circle,we are permitted to ta . a peep into the sayings and doings of the un marri t e b u e We pass over the questionable actions a lila _ Benoitons, and come to the matrimonial ca fe oro tions of Prudent, and certainly anything In to humorous cannot be imagined. Of coupe end suspicion is removed from the wife, she resivir.,o to study her husband's happiness, and all deter/11e to live wiser and better. Miss H. Simms,tilo extravagant wife, threw her whole energies i 10 : t o part and gave us a very powerful deline 3t ' ° while Mr. Billington, as Didier, acted with ra ° l : than ordinary care. Mrs. Mellon delighted tie audience with the warmth and geniality of her 3 , - t ing, and Mr. P. Bedford and Mr. Toole were all that could be desired ; in fact a finer piece of geniii-o, comedy has rarely been performed by thelatter gent tlemen. We have, in conclusion, to coraPl in ' hic h the rest of the company for the manner in lc-- they supported their respective parts.
