WESTMINSTER LIBERAL REGISTRA TION, 1867.—LIBERALS who have received Notice of Objection to their Names being retained on the List of Voters for this City are earnestly REQUESTED to COMMUNICATE IMMEDIATELY with the under signed, who will render them (free of expense) all neces sary assistance in defence of their franchise. THOMAS GILBERT, Jun., Secretary. 47, Charing-cross, S.W. THE. SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1867. in the person of Frangois Dabadie, who has just died at a maitson des sante, aged 44. He began his newspaper career as editor of the Emancipation of Toulouse, in 1841, and was afterwards con nected with the Paris papers, the Commerce and La Patric. For some time he was one of the editors of the Opinion Nationale. His last work, " Celebrated Suicides," was very successful. Da badie's democracy was of the advanced school, tending to Jacobinism. The Court of Assize of the Haute Loire, held at Pay, has tried a man and his wife, named Veysseire, on some revolting charges, including murder. The woman is a midwife, and it seemed pretty clear, from the evidence, that she not only took children to nurse, but got rid of them by violence, brutality, and other means, in cases where the mothers desired it. She was ex tremely well paid by mothers who confided their children to her. This woman, at the instigation of her husband, appears to have got rid of his young girl by his former wife. A long list was read of women who had confided their children to the female prisoner, some of whom, she pre tended, had died. As to the husband's child, she said it had died from illness and defor mity. At the suggestion of the President, a little child whom the woman had nursed was brought into court, and it exhibited such alarm and disgust at seeing the prisoner that there was a scene of great excitement and horror. The woman was condemned to death, and her husband to twenty years' hard labour. According to a letter front Florence, Garibaldi has returned to that city from Geneva " very dis concerted with his journey." e The French Government has recei ve d a l etter from M. Dano, its recent representativ e a t M ex i co, dated August that Itd was on the 28th ofd at N ew Y or k f rom Mexico with the members of the Legation, the charges d'affaires of Belgium and Italy, and a few Frenchmen who had resided at Mexico. They left Mexico on the Bth and Vera Cruz on the 16th of August. A young Englishman, named Edward Sweeting, has appeared before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Dinau on a charge highly dis graceful to him, and involving, according to the accusation, an insult upon France and Frenchmen. It appeared that the priso ner an d some other young Englishmen had upon several occasions paraded about the town at night in a state of intoxication with lanterns, and Sweeting had the folly and aud ac i ty to place upon the head of the Constable D uguesclin, which ornaments one of the public squares of th e t own , a c hi na vesse l , which in general is only used in bedrooms. In answer to the President, Sweeting said it was only a joke. The President asked him what would be thought in England if any one were to practise the same joke upon the statue of Wellington or Nelson. The prisoner answered that similar things had been done in England by Frenchmen. The President— That is not so. The French respect glory among all people. When they have an enemy they face him, and do not profit by the night to exhibit their feelings of hatred. Certain persons had shown smothered hatred towards Dagues clin, but they were not true Englishmen. The English do not forget that our soldiers fought by their side at the battle of the Crimea. Several outrages of a similar kind had been committed, and recently a band of young Englishmen had danced in derision over the tomb o f B eaumano i r a t L e h on . Sweeting denied that he had formed part of the band. Sweeting, who would not disclose the names of his companions, was sentenced to imprisonment for 15 days. As some readers may ask, Who is Beaumanoir ? let me add that, according to French historians, Jean de Beaumanoir was a celebrated knight of Brittany who lived in the 14th century. Ile reproached the English garrison with making war in a bad way—that is to say, by spreading car nage and desolation among the peasantry. The officer in command of the English denied it. The result was that it was agreed that thirty English men and thirty Frenchmen should fight against each other. The battle took place at a spot called Chore de Mi-Voie. The natives of Brittany were victorious. Merlin, the enchanter, predicted that the English would be victorious. According to the same authority Duguesclin in 1360 sustained the siege of Rennes with 100 deter mined men against 3,000 English. They presented themselves at daybreak before the enemy's camp, burst the tents, took possession of 200 chariots, and returned in triumph. The Duke of Lancaster, who commanded the siege of Rennes, sent a herald to Duguesclin. During the interview an Englishman of prodigious strength came in and accused Dugues din of killing one of his countrymen, and asked for permission to have three sword thrusts at him. "Six and hands more with if.yhoiuhme. and likE mande we them raise like," English combat t oo k p l ace " replied Duguesclin, shaking gre furious, andt the e next day in the presence of both armies. Th e English combatant was killed with one th rus t o f Duguesclin's lance. T began the assault. D u g uescli n made a sortie, defi e d them upon three points, siege. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

The difficulties that hedge round the Abyssinian Expedition continue to form the prevailing topic of conversation, and to be the theme of letters and communications. A letter to the Times of to-day seems to hold out better' hopes to us, and to' promise that, after all, it may not be so bad as it seemed. This correspondent sends a " route' across the country from Suakin to Berber, which is about 200 miles north of the proposed line of operation of the Abyssinian Expedition, shows the nature of the country and the climate, and may tend to create a more favourable im pression regarding the affair altogether than has unfortunately prevailed in some quarters, owing to the lugubrious prospects that have been held out. This writer, with a party of four Europeans in all, crossed this route in 1833, after having been ship wrecked in the Red Sea, and they had to depend entirely upon the resources of the country, with the exception of their arms. They found that the dis tance from the Red Sea to the Nile was nearly two hundred and sixty miles, almost west by south, and what is a very encouraging piece of information, they encountered neither difficulty nor danger on the road. We quite agree with Mr. Lvsen in his sanguine anticipations of the nature of the expedition now about to set out, and he observes that he cannot believe the difficulty of the roads that lie west to Massowah, about 200 miles to the south, " will be found so great as some correspondents suppose, and generally in the East such difficulties disappear as you approach them." We are very glad to meet with such sensible observations as these, and they are doubly welcome after the sinister prophecies that some hare indulged in, and the more tempe rate but still condemnatory opinions formed by others. One of the evils of the present day is that so many persons are qualified, or at all events think themselves qualified, to give an opinion on all such subjects as this, that it becomes most confusing and perplexing for ordinary individuals to form a correct judgment. Besides, the tendency of the present day is to exaggerate the difficulties of these expedi tions, and to intimate that there is no need to go to war at all. It is stated in this letter that the party referred to above had a desire to go towards Abyssinia, and when at Berbee they made inquiries which caused them to come to the conclusion that there would have been no difficulty in so doing had time permitted the venture to be made, and concludes with great force of argument " You may, I think, take it for granted that with this line open to Abyssinia, the Indian authorities would not have chosen a path anything like that which the imagi nations of your correspondents have drawn from Massowah to Abyssinia." Why, indeed, should they, and why should we in this country be so beset by the complaints and timorous suggestions of those who do not estimate rightly the nature of the subject upon which they discourse ? The preparations for the expedition are proceeding very favourably. Up to yesterday four of the steamers which had been chartered for service in the Eastern seas had left, direct for Bombay. This is encouraging intelligence at any rate, and seems to indicate that a spirit of activity is prevalent. The 7 did not call at Deptford, as was at first suP\ posed, because they have completed their equip ments. Two more vessels were to have left last night, and two others are also ready. It will be a satisfaction to the public when all the arrangements for this expedition are fairly com pleted ; and meanwhile we would say just that people should not suffer themselves to be led astray by the chimerical fears of those who doubtless mean well, but who are mistaken in the exaggerated opinion they express on the matter. The difficul ties of the Abyssinian Expedition are as nothing compared to those which our troops have over and over again surmounted at different times, and are ready to do again if occasion calls for it. The negro difficulty is rapidly assuming such formidable proportions in the Southern States as to force itself upon the attention of American states men. Registration is nearly completed in most of the States, and the results are what might have been expected from the determination of the Radicals to disfranchise the whites, and from the disgust with which they have done their best to in spire all the better class of Southern residents. In South Carolina the majority of registered blacks over whites is about 50,000, in Louisiana 60,000, in North Carolina 20,000, and in Alabama 10,000. In Virginia, it is true, the whites have the ascendancy by about 20,000, but of that number half are Radicals. It is quite evident that under this system the direction of affairs will be entirely in the hands of the blacks. We have already a proof of this in the fact that half the number of delegates in the approaching Reconstruction Convention in Louisiana are negroes. The prominent Southern whites are now becoming alarmed at the pros pect, especially after the example of negro rule in Tennessee. They are therefore with drawing their support from the system of military reconstruction, which they have hitherto advised their friends to accept. General WADE HAMPTON has just published a letter advocating the people to register, but only in order to be qualified to vote against the proposed conventions. The fact is, that the Radical party took care so to frame the conditions of registration that they should exclude the majority of the Southern whites. Their aim was to get the power into their own hands, either directly or through their influence over the negroes. Considerable uneasiness has been excited by the fact that in more than one of the Southern States the negroes are known to have formed them selves into armed organisations. Who supplied them with arms? is the question, and hints are freely thrown out; but it is of less consequence at present to know how they got them than what they will do with them. In Virginia, in North Carolina, in Tennessee, and in Missouri there are alarming rumours. In Virginia they have some sub stantial foundation, since General SCHOFIELD directed an official inquiry, which brought to light the fact that in almost an the counties of the State formidable armed bands of negroes are in existence. In the border counties of Carolina and Tennessee armed blacks are wandering about, and information to that effect has been given to the PRESIDENT. Pos sibly these authenticated facts have in creased the alarm in Missouri, but the wide spread uneasiness through.. - out these four St sates should put the o ffi c i a l s on th e i r I;tuard. ney have been careful to o r der th e : disarma tanto of the whites, but there has evidently been some) - remissness in permitting the negroes to arm. If the rest of the population are prevented from wearing ea ms, there can be no reason why the blacks--fr ee men like the rest, and certainly favour& - rather than opposed by the Government— should b' 3 allowed to possess them. In the present critical state of affairs such a permission is foolish in the extreme; but, as we have said, so far as the officio! 's Are 'concerned, it has probably been granted through- carelessness. In two of the Southern districts the disbanding of negro militia has bees t ordered, and probably now that the suspicious circumstances we have referred to have :been brought under the notice of the authorities further precautions will be" taken. General St IHOFIELD has made an effort to redistri bute the "black population by declaring that the State poor-laws shall be put in force ; that is to say, that the d , ?..stitute negroes shall be charged upon the counties wllich they left for the towns at the close of the war. If this order is carried out, it will, at least, disperse some of the more dangerous and dif ficult classes. Meantime the removal of Generals SHERIDAN and SICKLES continues to be the subject of comment, North and South. It is said to be the PRESI DENT'S intention to reinstate some of the officials removed by SHERIDAN. Governor THROCK3IORTON, of Texas, will be one of these, it is thought, as his removal was an unwarrantable act of oppressive interference. Of course any such proceeding will be in contravention of General GRANT'S order, for bidding military commanders to reinstate deposed civil officers, but as GRANT took upon himself to give this order without consulting the PRESIDENT, it is not very likely that Mr. JOHNSON will alter his plans to suit the officious manifestoes of his somewhat unruly lieutenant. The real difficulty in carrying out the reconstruction laws has been made by the Radicals themselves. if the truth were known they were probably disappointed that the Southern people accepted the scheme, and instead of smoothing the way and encouraging them to comply with the new revelations in good part, the Radicals, from the military commanders of the several districts downwards, have endeavoured in every way to irritate and disappoint the people. Mr. THROCKMORTON, the deposed Gover nor of Texas, has published his defence in the local newspapers. He asserts that commanding officers have persistently impeded the work of re construction, though the people have been anxious to carry out the plan of Congress. Happily, the " obstacle," as the Radicals politely term the PRE SIDENT, has now interfered with a strong hand, and it remains to be seen what further course he will adopt to save the Southern States from a war of races. It is most satisfactory to find that Austria has been able to bring matters to a more agreeable con clusion than was at first expected between the Ministers of Finance of Austria and Hungary. The object is to regulate the several points con nected with the division of the public debt between the Empire and the Cisleithan provinces From Vienna we learn that the official evening Post gives an authentic denial once for all to the rumours that the Government intend to confiscate the Church property in order to meet the present financial requirements. The Presse declares that the Ministerial proposals which had been made to the Austro-Hungarian Conference are, that a capital is to figure as a separate item in the total amount of the public debt. This is to be repre sented by interest to the amount of twenty-five million florins. The last news from Pcsth is that confident expectation is entertained of this Austro- Hungarian Conference being brought to a satisfac tory conclusion, and that an agreement will be come to respecting the portions of the State burdens to be borne by Hungary. This is very gratifying to hear of, because some well-grounded fears were experienced by some that the result of this com plicated arrangement would not be a fortunate one, and that at any r4te some Unpleasantness or awkwardness would prevail respecting the affair. It rnust be admitted that the Vienna Government have shown great discretion in the way in which they have conducted their policy towards Hungary. Such a course of wise and moderate legislation cannot fail to have the most beneficial results, and it is the more fortunate just now because of the many difficulties with which Austria has to contend. One cannot help wishing that this better understanding did not prevail at an earlier period between Austria and Hungary, for it might have averted some of the worst evils of last year ; but we hope that this will prove an illustration of the truth of the say ing, " Better late than never," in the fortunate effects it will produce. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) g. PARIS, Monday rage Mon atda yEsienin Congresses are decidedl A y ß the present. In addition to the four already mentioned there is now a Congress of the Catholics of Germany at Inspruck the capital of the Tyrol. At the preliminary • • sitting the secretary, Professor Moriggl read a letter by which Pope Pius bestows his apostolical bl • essmg upon all those who frustrate the efforts of men with out faith. His Holiness implores Heaven « that the general assembly may come to decisions which may contribute to preserve the cause of the Church, to the propagation of the means of instruction for safety, to the destruction of fatal errors, and that im pious manoeuvres, deceits, and seditions of enemies may be frustrated." Resolutions were agreed to hav ing for object to form a committee of 12 members to assist the Holy Father, and to create in each town newspaper and publications to propagate good prin ciples and oppose irreligion and evil. Accounts from Italy state that the cholera having completely disappeared from Albano, a solemn ser vice has been celebrated for the repose of the soul of Cardinal Altieri, late bishop of that city, who suc cumbed to the disease while nobly performing his duty. The whole population were present at the ceremony, and by their respectful demeanour proved their estimation of the devotion of the prelate who had so heroically sacrificed his life. Among other titles the Cardinal Altieri had that of Camerlingue. According to the rules of the Catholic Church the Cardinal Camerlingue is invested, during his inter regnum, with executive power, which he exercises until the election of a new Pontiff. In pursuance of this dignity he enjoys certain privileges attached to the Sovereignty—for instance that of ordering money to be coined with his effigy. There is an idea of closing the Exhibition in a manner worthy of it by a magnificent fete At that time the Emperor and Empress of Austria will be in Paris, and other Royal personages are also ex pected. A Congress is to assemble at Saint Briuc, in Brittany, on the 15th of October, the special ob ject of which will be to discuss matters connected with Celtic languages and traditions. The cora -1 mittee have sent invitations to the English, Welsh, Irish, and Scotch interested on the subject to take part in the discussions. Means will be adopted to establish relations between the friends of these studies on both sides of the channel. Inquiries respecting language, history, and mythology will be included in these discussions, which will pro bably prove of importance. Democracy and letters have lost another friend THE LAMBETH LIBIiARY. dinin g -hall with whi c h tradition cha racteristically coupless the name of th e genial Jason has, a s T , h i ne our nobleless s s h pdays, served as a shrine o itable for a collection of manuscripts and bo o k s w hi c h , 2i t though legallyhasfor the personal property o f th e arch bishops,r c enturies been p l aced at the ser vice literatureand the Ch urc h . The library was,oldest public library in England, and the original orders for its regulati on b i n of fact, a nt,, t h o bear no less a name than that of Francis Bacon. Th e collec tionof manuscripts, number, which had gat learned liberality of primate after primate round the origi na l nuc l eus of m h a er n e u d tiiplrtost,ig the el,O O n the Canterbury registers, have long been famous among ecclesiastical and historical students, and have contributed more than any one other single source to the series of publications which have been of late undertaken by the Master of the Rolls, and such literary associations as the Camden or the Early English Text Societies. The papers of Wake, of Wharton, of Gibson, brought its inte rest down to far later times; while the mass of books, extending over every topio of ecclesiastical litera ture, comprised an almost unique series of early printed English works, which are well known through the catalogue of Dr. Maitland. The last name reminds us how directly the library has told on ecclesiastical literature through its own custo dians. The manuscript collections of Ducarel, the Anglia Sacra which forms but a small part of the stores accumulated by the miraculous industry of Henry Wharton, the labours of Maitland on the Dark Ages and the Reformation, are not unworthily matched in our own day by the series of works with which the present librarian Professor Stubbs, without dispute the most learned among English historic inquirers, is enriching our national litera ture. To close this library to literature, and to break the learned tradition of more than three centuries, has been the last freak of the Ecclesi astical Commissioners ere they separated for their autumnal holidays. The tale, stripped of techni calities, is a very simple one indeed. An act of last session by one of its clauses expressly enabled the commissioners, who through recent changes have become the possessors of a good half of the old revenues of the see of Canterbury, to take upon themselves the charges of the main tenance of the library and the payment of the librarian. After long and tedious negotiations they have finally refused, we b e lieve, to allow any sum whatever for putting the library into a decent state of repair, and have offered a stipend to the librarian which is equal to the pay of a junior clerk in their office. The decision has proved too much even for the bland patience of an Archhishop of Canterbury ; and we cannot be surprised that the primate has rejected a proposal which cannot effec tually defeat hie plans for making the library of more general service to literary inquirers, and, by the decisive step of closing the library and dis missing the librarian, has at once signified his refusal to allow things to continue on their present inade quate footing, and his resolution frankly to appeal to the public to judge b e t w een himself and the Ecclesiastical Conaraissioners.—Saturdaltriews LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

During his journey to Reichenberg and Dresden Baron Beust delivered a speech at Brunn, in reply to addresses from the vice-burgomaster and the pre sident of the Chamber of Commerce. After re turning thanks for the friendly reception accorded to him the Baron proceeded :—" This confidence is doubly valuable to me now that my course has become narrowed and more arduous. He who de sires to ascend a steep path must pause at times for breath. But he does not necessarily lose sight of his aim because he does not select the most precipi tous road to climb to the summit." Baron Beust further said that he considered the negotiations for agreement with Hungary as being brought to a successful issue. He entertained no doubt of the maintenance of peace, adducing, in proof, the fact that negotiations upon commercial relations with Prussia had been resumed. The speech was received with enthusiastic applause. Mustapha Fazyl Pacha has arrived here upon his way to Constantinople.

In the Frankfort Europe appears the following letter in reply to that of Mr. Labouchere, M.P., which we reproduced in our Saturday's impression : " Nauheim, Sept. 12. "I request from your impartiality the insertion of the following observations upon the letter from Mr. Labouchere, which was published in your num ber of the 11th inst., in reply to a few lines from me, which I addressed to you on the Bth inst. " I named no one, and I only stated a fact—that having chastised a gentleman who had interfered in matters which did not concern him, I had waited three days for a visit from his friends. _ _ " It has pleased this gentleman to enter into the details of a scandal for which it has not sufficed that he should have been publicly horsewhipped. Let us see what are the details. "He said I was not a baron. I defied him to prove that I bad ever said I was one ; I am, and I sign myself as di Baroni Farina,' and none above a hackney coachman could be ignorant of what that meant. "He says that on arriving at Homburg he saw me at table with some ladies, with one of whom he was acquainted. That is absolutely false. The lady of his acquaintance was not at the same table at which I was seated. Beyond that, one must lack all shame to introduce into such an affair the word ' ladies,' which I should not have dared to do, so sacred is the word to me. " He says that I accosted the husband of the lady to demand explanations, and that they were refused to me by him. It is false. The husband of that lady placed himself at my disposition, and I thanked him, observing that it was with the wretch who had concocted such cowardly calumnies that I must settle the affair. " He says that I lifted my cane towards him, and that he seized me by the neck. It is false, for I thrashed him to my heart's content. Ile assumes the position of a man of courage, talks of correcting and chastising, but it was at the moment when I thrashed him that he should have turned his venge ance upon me. "He states that he applied to the police, which indeed is worthy of him, and I leave the public to judge whether the electors who returned him to Parliament intended him to make such use of his position. "He says that he is supported in his statement by gentlemen. Well, I appeal to gentlemen of every country—who speaks the truth, I or La bouchere ? I, who began by writing a quiet letter, truthful, unimpassioned, only reciting facts as they had occurred, having witnesses who were present when I beat him—the Count Novarro della Miraglia, the Count de Rocourt, and 40 others. As to M. de Rocourt, whom I had requested to wit ness the affair as .a simple spectator, he is one of those French gentlemen, brave and loyal, who fight on account of a cross look, and who do not know the word "lie states, finally, that I am supported by women, and for that I will flog him again, having no other reply to make to him. Nevertheless, as he seeks for an investigation, not for his sake, but for the honour of my family, I am ready before any commission that may be appointed to justify to the fullest extent my means of existence. But if I should submit myself to this humiliation public opinion will, doubtless, demand of Labou chere what he has done with the flogging which he received from an honourable man for meddling in what did not concern him, and how he has dared to abuse his character as an English repre sentative, to cover calumnies which are insufficient to explain his cowardice. " Accept, &c., " LUIGI DI BARONI FARINA. " P.S.—lf the proposition of an investigation is accepted, the commission shall be composed of an equal number of French, Italian, and English gentlemen." WRECKS ON THE IttISEI COIS7I - GALLAN7 LIFEBOAT SERVICES. -0. ARKLOW, Sept. 12. We were visited yesterday (says Dr. Ilalpin) with one of the fiercest gales, for its duration, that has ever been experienced on this coast. About nine o'clock in the evening the services of the Arundel, Venables lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu tion on this station, were called into requisition. The smack Kate and Mary, of this port, was riding at anchor in the bay, where a very heavy sea was running. She bad but one boy on hoard, as the rest of the crew were ashore. The lifeboat pro ceeded out, but she had only got a short distance outside the pier head when she was regularly filled, took stern way, and got broadside on the north pier head. The men stood by the boat greatly stunned. At this juncture Captain Edward Kearon jumped off the pier into the boat, and by his judicious and cheering advice the boat got clear, and a second time attempted to get through the broken water, but was again driven back, and would have been forced against the pier had not a cross sea took her and canted her away. With Captain Kearon's per suasion the men made a third gallant trial, and this time succeeded in getting through the surf and reaching the smack, when one of the lifeboat men was placed on board, and the boc„t in return was beached, as it was not considered safe to run between the pier heads. Subsequently the smack's anchor was slipped, and she got out of the roadstead. The lifeboat behaved admirably, and I must also add my testimony to the gallantry and perseverance of the crew of the boat. HOWTII, DUBLIN BAY, Sept. 12. During a strong gale with heavy sea this morn ing (reports Staff-Commander H. D. Burney, R.N.), a schooner was seen making for the harbour in a disabled state with her mainsail blown to pieces The Howth lifeboat belonging to the National Life boat Institution was at once launched to her assist ance. The vessel had by this time anchored near the Baldoyle Sands, but drifted. The lifeboat took off the captain, and also brought the schooner safely into Howth Harbour, and moored her alongside the West Pier. The crew of the lifeboat deserve great praise for the gallant manner in which they boarded the vessel, and saved her at the very risk of their lives. She was the schooner Splendid, of Dublin, bound from Liverpool to that port with a cargo of coals. MARKETS.---This day. HAY.

L as t even i ng this en thusiasm was enhanced by the fact th a t it had revivingi,n play aotf hthirty h same m ,,et d this been announced that Mr. Fechter would take the part of Claude Melnotte. Some slight alterations had been made in placing the play upon the stage, but these were trivial, and the chief desire on the part of the audience was to ascertain how Mr. Fechter would delineate a character which he as sumed for the first time, and which there was every reason to believe he was admirably adapted to sustain. Nor were these anticipations unrealised, for Mr Fechter's rendering of the character was a complete success. llis reading was " realistic." lle endeavoured to be as natural in the character as the language of the author would permit, and as free from the customary staginess as possible. BY adopting this style he gained a great advantage in the more rapid and melodramatic parts of the drama. In the fourth act, where his wife is torn from him after her pride leaves her, and is replaced by love for Claude, he rises to his utmost height, and dis plays his passion with great spirit and pathos, but with the slightest of ranting. In this see" also Miss Carlotta Leelercq, who played Pauline, was very effective, and b o th performers were en thusiastically applauded by the audience. In the last act Mr. Pechter exhibited a very choice mod ° , of acting, whe n Cl au d e t ears the documents and rushes into Pauline's arms. This brought the play to the highly successful conclusion, and a crowded and distinguished co m pa n y left the theatre a l i ttle before 12 o'clock. TILE SU I:REY THEA7R_E. It has of late years been the custom (and 11 ,; doubtedly, though it m a y be a distasteful , it has proved a successful o ne ) f or our theatrical m anagers to introduce their season by the production of dramas , is which the principal object is to combine highly sensational incidents with the most gorgeous soeuery and decorations. Such a kind of drama has he el ! offered to the public by Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick on their resum i ng once mo re the ma nage ment of the Surrey Theatre. " Nobody's Child," by Mr. Watts Phillips, is melodrama, with a very straggling, disjointed plot, but replete with perilous situations, mounted u .O 7 very lovely Cornish scenery from the penci l of the brothers Calcott. The pl o t, a s far as a string of incidents can be desi gna t e d on e, is this —a w al or, as he expresses it, , t a pebble cast upon the shore by his mother the sea." One Joe (Mr. Creswieod is, in the opening sce ne , a sor t o f half idiot ho oted by the village boys. He has, however, one true friend in the person of P a tty L avr ock (Miss Pautlee fort), old Peter Grice (M r . V o llaire), the postmas ter's niece, who is foster si s t er t o Miss Lucy Tre " garvon (Miss Emma Robberds), who, with her brother, Sir Robert, are likely when the play cola mences, to be turned out of T r egarvon Castle ; the old postmaster, through an ancient spite against the Tregarvon family, being an anxious Pur chaser. But a Captain Dudley Lazonby ( Mr. E. F. Edgar) has suddenly heard that the Ad miral Tregarvon, the uncle o Lucy, has been drowned in his yacht, and that he has loft his property to her. The main feature in the drama then becomes the struggle on the part of Peter Grice to possess himself of the will, which is brought in a tin case by a drunken coxswain, who has escaped from the wreck, but who breaks his neck,' ; falling down a ravine, and by Lazonby to possess himself of Lucy Tregarvon's hand, he hav ing letters written to him by her while a school girl, in one of which she proposes an elopement. Throughout all this plotting Joe plays a conspic uous part. At the peril of his life he obtains the box containing the will, and when at the bottom of the ravine, unable to return, is rescued by Patty Lavrock, and ultimately he saves Lucy from Lazonby and kills him at the same time, giving her the will. This brings the piece somewhat abruptly to a con clusion. Mr. Creswick, as Joe, was particularly happy is his conception of the character of the ignorant, despised, but yet poetic outcast; and when this un fortunate is aroused to prompt activity and resolu tion he gave great life to the part, and was most admirably supported by the natural and graceful acting of Miss Pauncefort. The other characters were tolerably rendered. The drama was preceded by a new farce, by Mr. T. J. Williams, entitled "A Cure for the Fidgets." ESCAPE FROM WOKING PRlSON.—Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock a rather notorious convict named Ellis succeeded in making his escape from Woking Prison• Ellis has since his confinement at Woking been most ex emplary in his conduct, and has recently, with a few other well-behaved convicts, under the care of two warders, been working at the residence of the surgeon, Dr. Camp bell, where extensive alterations are going on. The con: victs were at work yesterday morning as usual, and Ellis was allowed to retire temporarily. His absence for 3 longer period than usual aroused suspicion, and it NN: 3S found on sending to the place that ho was gone, baying left behind him his prison jacket. It happened that, pro bably from his bed covering, he had contrived to manu facture something like a workman's slop, and quid ] ' ]) exchanging this for his prison jacket, he jumped among underwood close where he was working, and thus mach) his escape. Warders were immediately sent in puvuit7 and the escaped convict was traced as far as the ltailwnY Inn, at Woking station, and lie afterwards must have gone iu the direction of Guildford. Ellis acted the shall] detective in connexion with the Shrewsbury robbe ric ''' and had between four and five years more to serve.
