I told you in the beginning that I could not thank you enough, and Heaven knows I have most thoroughly kept my word. (A. laugh.) If I may quote one other short sentence from myself, let it imply all that I have left unsaid, and yet most deeply feel. Let it, putting a girdle round the earth, comprehend both sides of the Atlantic at once iu this moment, and say, as Tiny Tim observes, " God bless us every one." (Loud and continued cheers.) The next toast, proposed by Sir C. W. Dilke, Was " The City," which was briefly responded to by the Lord Mayor. Mr. LAYARD did not know why the duty of pro posing the next toast had been assigned to him, es pecially in the presence of so many who could have done it much more justice than he could pretend to do. The toast was "The Fine Arts," coupled with their distinguished representative in that assembly, Sir Francis Grant, the President of the Royal Academy. (Cheers.) Such a toast was pe culiarly appropriate on that occasion. The fine arts and literature had the most intimate relations. On the one band, literature furnished some of the noblest subjects to the painter ; and, on the other, the artist furnished the most animated and beautiful illustrations of literature. Mr. Dickens might well appeal to them to say whether he had not been. faithful to his task, and whether he had not deserved well of the artists of this country. There could be but one answer to such an appeal ; he would say boldly that few literary men in this country had had se many true friends among its artists as Charles Dickens. (Cheers.) lie would not longer detain them, but would propose the toast of " The Fine Arts," in connexion with the health of Sir Francis Grant, the President of the Royal Academy, who so ably represented the fine arts in this country. (Cheers.) Sir FRANCIS GRANT, who was most cordially received, said he could not expect to be listened to with patience after the eloquent speeches they had heard ; he only desired gratefully to acknow ledge the toast which Mr. Layard had been BO good as to propose, and which the company had go kindly received. He had come a long way on purpose to be present on that occasion, and to bear his humble tribute of respect and admiration to the social worth and great literary genius of their dis tinguished guest---(cheers)--and he hoped he might be permitted to assure him that there was no class of men who would watch with more affectionate ►nterest his career in America than the artists of his native country, and none who would give him a more hearty welcome on his return. (Cheers.) Mr. OTWAY, M.P., proposed the toast of "Lite rature," and read a message entrusted to him by his neighbours to Mr. Dickens—" God speed you on your visit to New America, and a happy return to Old England, and to the home where you are so dearly loved." (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANTHONY TROLLOPE, who was very warmly received, acknowledged the toast and said—l always think that a very great honour is paid to any gen tleman who is called upon, on an occasion like this, to say a few words in reply to the toast of "Lite rature ;" and I think it is especially an honour to be called upon to do so at a banquet such as this, given to grace so distinguished a guest. I believe that the state of literature in England at this mo nsent is not only very prosperous, but that it is also very healthy—(cheers)—and I believe this in spite of those anticipations respecting the Falls of Nia gara which have lately been brought before us—(a langh)—and in spite of those wails of " Woe, woe, from the housetop," which we have recently heard from the lips of a great prophet among us. We love that great prophet, indeed—he has passed a long life among us, a life of truth and honesty, and he has done good work, but I am inclined to think that he has now allowed himself to be carried away by the melancholy enthusiasm of a spirit of ill-boding till he almost forgets that there is a God still among us, and until he has come to believe it to be his duty to tell his brother workmen that nothing but the cry, " Woe, woe, from the housetop" can fitly describe the state of things to which we are hastening. (Cheers.) " Fiction!"—l am now re peating the words of this great prophet—" Fiction ! 0 ! my friends ! you will soon have to think how Perilous and close a cousinship it bears to lying." (A. laugh.) Now, these are very hard words to us who are engaged in fiction, hard words for us who do our teaching by the telling of tales instead of by the uttering of prophecies. (Cheers.) Was Colonel Newcombe—that finest gentleman of past days— Wm he a liar ? (Cheers.) Was Jane Eyre, when she spoke to her lover, and demanded from him that h o should not taste one drop of cold water—was she a liar? (Cheers.) Was the sermon that Dinah Preached a lie ? (Cheers.) Was the story of the l ife of Eugene Aram a lie ? Do you remember— Who does not remember ?—the walk which Bill S ykes took with his dog after the murder ?—was that a lie? (Cheers.) I ought, perhaps, properly to have spoken of literature generally—and, indeed, the prophet has handled literature generally almost 4 3 harshly as he has handled fiction ; but, seeing that I am myself somewhat concerned in fiction, I have ventured to refer specially to that branch of li terature. My belief is that we who wrote fiction Lave taught purity of life, nobility of action, and se lf-denial —(cheers)—and have taught these lessons With such allurements, both for young and old, as tte other preacher in these days can teach, and which 310 prophet can reach. (Cheers.) My lord, I be lieve, at any rate, that all will agree with me, that t hose five great writers of modern fiction whom 1 have ventured to quote do not deserve to be pro- Phesied against in the words which I have repeated f rom Mr. Carlyle. (Loud cheers.) The toast of " The Drama" was next briefly given by Sir E. Landseer, in the absence, through in disposition, of Sir E. Tennant. tlr. BENJAMIN WEBSTER expressed himself h ighly honoured in responding to such a toast in th e prese nce o f one o f w h om it m i g ht b e sa id, as of s hakspere, that he had exhausted an old and created I l lew world. The drama was one of the highest diversions ever devised, calculated to convey in !traction with amusement. Those who raved against It were either the children of folly or s l aves o f igno rahco—(cheers)—while the encouragers of that pro f es sion were those who were the lovers of virtue I tacl the admirers of art. (Cheers.) The ancients were very careful in the composition of their dramas, 41:14 he hoped the moderns would imitate their ex ample. The Athenians were wont to enlarge u pon the advantages which the drama conferred u pon , IS country, and on one occasion it was set down at £lOO,OOO. lie hoped that the statesmen of Eng I , ll cl would be imbued with a similar feeling with liberality ct to the drama in this country, and with a worthy of that conviction. (A laugh.) to The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in proposing the next a rt, said-1 rejoice to think that the toast which 11 4 ' 3 been intrusted to my care is one which needs 2 . effort on my part to recommend it to your ready ii"otention, because I cannot but feel that at this late aftof the evening, when so many graceful actors il i`!e left the stage, the prattle of those who come a _` e r Must bo tedious. But when I tell you that I wh o about to propose the health of the noble lord has filled the chair this evening—(cheers)—I 11 sure that for the few minutes I shall occupy you e give me your attention. We have met this t ve ea fl ing to d o h onour t o o u r illustrious gue s t, t o t ifY our admiration of his groat genius, and our t r_P r eciation of the benefits ho has conferred upon 'e literat ure of our country by those immortal sve rt ., , Li u in which pathos and humour are so happily. 444 li ded, that one k nows not w hi c h mos t t o a d m i re , turo, bed, which h e h as not on l y enr i c h e d o ur litera butcontributed to the enjoyment of thousands. her e i s wh one point in connection with those works , 4:11 I think we mu s t a ll admire—that is, the nu- Ta r Yin g honesty of purpose which has never induced 4 1 to . . . Pander to VICIOUS tastes, which has made him te ach tha t us— unconsciously, perhaps—to admire only hold Ntivhich is beautiful and true, and helped us to p to execration and scorn all that is loath- I cl o t tl_ei vile, and base. In these works lie has known w to invest • • . th os with interest, and has ever promoted c f eelings which bind man to man, and tend to 'lope that catholic, lar g "it e, and gener ous hua- Y mwhi c h s the noblest attribute of human kind. (ti egerli3t.) ConC t°-ni t o that we have c ome h ere h it oar to such an autho r an d suc h a must be a source of unbounded '' clQll to every one that on this 0CC0,51911 the chair has been filled by my noble friend Lord Lytton. (Cheers.) Himself a man of trans cendent genius, who has taken a foremost rank in the literature of the civilised world, he was the man to do justice to our friend Charles Dickens. (Cheers.) And while we may be gratified at his presence, so nothing could be more becoming or graceful in Lord Lytton than to preside on this oc casion. I should be ashamed to advert to anything personal to myself, and yet I trust you will forgive me for saying that when this toast was committed to my care it was to me a source of infinite gratifi cation and delight. It bridges over the chasm of years and takes me back to a period when the noble lord and I were young in life and starting on our several careers. To me, and, I believe, to me alone, then his college companion, he confided the fact that he was composing that beautifal poem on sculpture which was crowned by the academical prize, and it was to me an immense gratification to be the first to announce to him as I did—for he had left the University when the prize was adjudged— that he had triumphed over all his competitors. (Cheers.) That was the commencement of his literary career, and what a series of brilliant successes my noble friend has achieved. (Cheers). Poet, novelist, dramatist, thinker, critic, philosopher—how much has he contributed to the enjoyment, the edification, and instruction of the intellectual world in all these departments. (Cheers.) Like Sheridan passing the bounds of that literary world in which he was destined to shine, and in which I first saw that star rise which was afterwards to culminate to such a height of glory, and to shine with so much brilliancy, he has added the reputation—the great, deserved, and honourable reputation—of statesman and orator of the first and highest order. (Cheers.) I ven ture to predict that those speeches which, in tho great arena of political conflict, the House of Com mons, ho has pronounced will remain as models of the highest and noblest eloquenee, although I must say I generally differed from him. (Apaugh.) Those speeches contain thoughts deserving the attention of the most profound thinker, clothed in that glow ing, graceful language of which no man is a more complete master than my noble friend. (Cheers.) I must not forget, however, that my noble friend is not himself the hero of this evening. We aro met to do honour to our guest and friend by his side, who derives additional lustre and brilliancy, and is crowned with greater glory from the fact of the noble lord presiding this evening. (Cheers.) In the toast I have to propose let me embody the hope that for long years our noble friend may continue to contribute to the literary glory of our country ; and that in that august assemblage to which, by a wise and just exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, and with the universal approbation of all thinking men, he has been elevated, the eloquent orator will not be silent, but will continue in that path of glory and renown he has so long trod with so much honour to himself and advantage to his country. (The toast was drunk with great cordiality.) Lord LYTTON—I am deeply sensible of the kind ness with which you have received the toast which I rise to acknowledge, proposed to your notice as it has been in far too flattering terms. In the pre sence of so many distinguished cultivators of art and letters, it would ill become me to say a single word as to my own aims and attempts as a writer. But I cannot pass over with equal brevity the pleasure I derive from the compliment I have received at your hands as your chairman, having been proposed by one who was associated with all my avocations and aspirations in my earliest years. It is true that he has achieved, and nobly achieved, the highest honours of a noble profession—(cheers) — it is true that he was my fellow collegian and my familiar friend at that age when friendships ought to be un ending. I remember as if it were yesterday the pride I had in every exhibition of those remarkable talents which since have become the admiration of our Parliament, and now reflect lustre on our bench. (Cheers.) Something, indeed, of a melancholy sen timent mingles with the recollection of a period so illustrious for contemporaries unusually brilliant, when we walked with Macaulay and supped with Praed, and regarded each other with unchangeable affection. (Cheers.) You have been graciously pleased to confer on me a compliment for acting as your chairman ; on the contrary, thanks arc due from me to those who, through your accomplished secretary, proposed to me that honour. I shall always regard it as a great distinction to have presided on an occasion which conferred a pub lic honour on one whom I so warmly admire as a writer and so cordially esteem as a man. (Cheers.) Before sitting down you will allow ma to propose a toast—the health of that part of the audience which every writer of polite letters is the most ambitious to please—l mean those who are our gentlest critics, but who, at the same time, are the most formidable rivals whenever they condescend to compete with us as authors. (Hear, hear.) It has been said that man was born to look upward and contemplate the stars. I now look upward, and, in contemplat ing the stars, I propose " The Health of the Ladies." (Loud cheers). Mr. BUCKSTONE said he was not aware why he had been called upon to respond to the toast, as he was not particularly a ladies' man. (Laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh"). He admitted, however, that there were some ladies of his acquaintance with whom he had passed many happy hours. It was not, perhaps, the right thing or etiquette to tell their names, but on this occasion he would make the company present the confidants of his tender pas sion. lie mentioned the names of Mrs. Gamp, Betsy Prig, Mrs. Nickleby, and not forgetting Mrs. Harris. (Roars of laughter.) Having confessed to the happy hours be had enjoyed with those ladies, he hoped he might be forgiven for venturing to re spond for the ladies present. (Laughter.) They were met to say good-bye to their friend Mr. Dickens, who was about to visit America. He (Mr. Buckstone) bad, as was well known, travelled through every State of the Union and visited every city, was perfectly well acquainted with the cha racter of our American cousins ---(a laugh)--and believed they might safely trust Mr. Dickens in their hands. The proceedings then ended, and numbers of personal friends pressed round Mr. Dickens as ho left the hall, and cordially wished him a safe voyage and a speedy return. LAW INTELLIGENOE.---This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) lIAWKSLEIGII V. STOW. This was an action to recover the balance of a sum of £1,400 due upon a bond, and the defence was that by certain arrangements between the par ties themselves the amount of £4OO was not due by defendant. It appeared that the parties were in business together at Goole, and that both families lived on the most friendly terrns. Tho plaintiff iu July last accepted a bond from defendant for £1,400 worth of certain stock which he had disposed of to him, but this bond was not executed till May following. The plaintiff had not received anything except the interest, although the deed provided that the £l,OOO should be paid in four instalments, and none of these instalments had been paid up. Several letters were read from the parties which showed the intimacy they were on, and in ono of them the plaintiff wrote that he should never forget the former kindness of the defendant to him, and should be happy to do the best ho could for his family. Several other letters were read, showing that at the execution of the deed several fresh ar rangements had been made, because there was a difficulty in getting the defendant to execute the bond. Mr. Baron Martin said that these letters, having been written in March, had nothing to do with the question. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff on the bond, and leave given to move for a new trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. THAMES. STEALING Ciermzs.--Philip Dicker, a lad in the service of Mr. Morris Deans, cigar-maker, of 251, Mile-end-road, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 12 cigars, the property of his master. jr.l Paget committed the prisoner ler trial, HONEY XARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there continues to be a very moderate inquiry for accommodation, owing to the payments due this day (the 4th of the month) having been satisfactorily provided for. The rates current for the negociation of first-class short-dated paper range from about to 13- per cent. Business in the corn market this morning exhibited very little animation. There were rather liberal supplies of Lome-grown and foreign wheat on offer, and prices gave way freely ls. to 2s. per quarter. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures remain steady, at 25 264, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 20 21. Messrs. Chatteris, Nichols, and Co. have an nounced a first dividend of 2s. Gd. in the pound to the creditors of the Peninsular, West Indian, and Southern Bank (Limited), in liquidation. Advices from Manchester state that Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co. (Limited) are about to reduce their nominal capital from £2,500,000 to £1,500,000, and their shares from £lOO to IGO ; a step that has already improved the value of the property, and caused the shares again to be quoted at a premium. Freights on the Wear have ruled steady this week, and London is quoted 6s. 3d. to 6s. 6d. per ton, Hamburg £8 15s. to £9, Nien Dieppe £7, Ostend £8 15s. ; Alexandria rates are lower, and other Mediterranean rates about the same as last week. Indian rates are firm outward, and the same home ward. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have amended the rule No. 109, which stands now as follows :—" The buyer of bonds or other securities, subject to periodical drawing, shall not be entitled to claim delivery thereof previous to the day for which they were bought. Bargains must be settled in securities which have not been officially notified as drawn. In case of the erroneous delivery of any drawn securities, the buyer (on receipt of undrawn securities and on allowance being made for any drawing or dividend of which he may have lost the benefit) shall deliver such securities back to the person who held them at the time of the official notification of the drawing, or shall pay to him any proceeds received from such drawing, provided the said securities or the proceeds thereof be traced to, and remain in th• possession and under the control of, such buyer ; all intermediate persons being re leased from liability. To claim in respect of the erroneous delivery of drawn securities will not be entertained by the committee unless made within nine calendar months." The pig iron trade at Teeside and Cleveland seems as active as it had been for the last month, and shipments continue good. Various good trans actions are reported. Warrants are quoted at 41s. 6d. sellers and 445. 3d. buyers. The list quota tions are rather advanced, No. 1 being 48s 6d. ; No. 3, 445. ; and No. 4, 435. net cash, or Is. per ton more four months' bills. Stocks are gradually diminishing, both in makers' premises and in the stores. During the week the arrivals at Hartlepool have been exceedingly limited, 37 ships only having entered the East Harbour, three with cargoes and the remainder in ballast, whilst during the same period 119 have sailed. At West Hartlepool 62 vessels have arrived, eleven importing timber cargoes, three grain, and two goods and merchan dise, whilst 114 have sailed. The London freights have varied somewhat during the week, owing to the number of ships in port, and as low as 6s. 6d. has been accepted, but the current rate is 6s. 9d. A higher figure has been given to a few certain sized vessels with an uncertain despatch. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week state that business, in most de partments, has been very - quiet. At Manchester prices of cloths and yarns have continued to recede, but manufacturers and spinners have tolerable con tracts on hand. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, business in all depart ments has remained very quiet, the great bulk of the winter demand has now been supplied, and spring goods as yet are only partially dealt in. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Notting ham have been dull, only a few fancy goods being in request. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton the staple trades have remained exceedingly dull, although some large contracts are out for railway iron for some of the principal companies. Two o'CLoor. In the market for the English securities there has been a decline of k per cent., but on the realisation of profits on " Bear " accounts the comparison of values is reduced to 146 per cent.

In the Railway Share Market business has re mained very quiet, and in most instances prices have shown a further downward movement. Great Eastern have receded 1., Metropolitan, ➢Midland, and South Eastern each Caledonian 1, and Great Northein A Stock 11. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares continuo very inactive. Berlin Waterworks, however, have im proved to 121 ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam to 54f ; Rio de Janeiro Gas are marked 21i ; Royal Mail Steam, 77 ; and General Credit and Discount, 5 7-16ths. 'the Foreign and Colonial lines show little varia tion of importance. Great Luxembourg are dealt in at 8 5-16th, San Paulo at 16k, Great Western of Canada at 16f f ; East Indian at 110 110 f, and Bombay and Baroda at 103 g. In American Securities Erie shares have declined to 45k 46, and the United States 5-20 Bonds 1 1-16th, to 69i 70 ; while Illinois shares continue firm at 801 81i. Bank Shares are very quiet.

The money market has closed very quietly, and the 4th of the month has passed over in a very :;.rtisfactory manner. There have been a few em barrassments in connection with Liverpool and Manchester, but up to the present moment no failure has been announced of importance. At the Bank of England to-day there has been a withdrawal of £17,000, of which £lO,OOO is in so vereig,us for Egypt. More depression has prevailed in the Market for English Funds, the latest fall of prices of Consols being 91 -4- for money and the 7th inst., and 91i for the December settlement. The principal dis turbing influence is aperibcd to tl:e position of affairs between France and Italy. Foreign Stocks continuo depressed.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the }'all-Street Journal.) AUSTIN, Na., Sept. 21th, 1867. To THE EDITOR.—I have no important news to communicate, - but the general line of business has so much improved that it is some gratification to state it. The " Hildreth Mill," the " Metacom i " the " Manhattan," and the " California" are all pounding away day and night. In the mines there is still a greater improvement. The " South America" have opened upon a two-foot vein of great value. The " Plymouth" have struck a splendid two-foot ledge in their straight shaft. The Groat Eastern Company are taking out largo quantities of valuable ore. The Diana, Florida, Timoke, Troy, and North Star, are keeping up their lick, while the Magnolia, Savannah, Fuller, and lessor lights, are all doing well, and in fact improv ing. Of one thing lam now certain, that Lander Hill (that portion that is being worked) from the Savage to the Summit, and from Cedar ravine to the Great Eastern, is the richest piece of mining ground known. There are scores of parties hunt ing chlorides within that space, and many making little fortunes. There is not a single failure where they have gone down. That portion of the district is full of very valuable ore. I have full confidence in all Lander Hill, but nearly all the work has been done. there, and of course there is greater success there. The outside districts are all improving. Even old played out " Ione" is coming out of the kinks. Over at New Pass they are getting fine gold ore, and Slawson is taking down the little Ware mill to move over there. The little mill at Bunker Hill is making money fast. The Big Smoky mill is going up rapidly. The Union mill at Plot Creek is turning out bul lion in a steady stream. The mill at Reveille has been re-sold to responsible parties, and will be im mediately put into running order. The Centenary mill at Newark, I suppose, started yesterday. They have valuable Op enough to run six months on hand, they have 20-stamp mill to start up with 10, and have built more oveuo,--NUADA.

Sailor was for many years "home postman" to Mr. Nash. Regularly every morning he watched for the postman as he came from Sevenoaks into the village, and followed him into Mr. Troughton's shop, where the post-office is kept, and sat patiently watching while the letters were being allotted out, and when Mr. Nash's letters were ready for him ho jumped up gaily to the counter and toukthem in his mouth, - going directly home and delivering thorn to his master. 40 wag 094 t ten years ofd.—South-Eastern Gazette.. DRURY LANE. On Saturday evening another great and trium phant success was achieved by Mr. Chatterton by the production of Mr. Bayle Bernard's new adapta tion of Lord Byron's historic tragedy, " Marino Faliero," under the title of " The Doge of Venice." Notwithstanding the original poem was never in t,:nded for dramatic representation, though written i„ t i. :?. form of a drama, it has on many occasions formed the 1 asi3 of a sta ge play and opera. In 1821 a vet :ion of it was first performed with but 1 indifferent sup ess ; in 18-L2 it was again produced under the managcmerat of Mr. Macready, but it 1 failed in attraction. _A. very different result at.- tended the adaptation of the poem abroad : M. Casimir Delavigne, many years ago, made it the subject of a romantic tragedy Donizetti appro priated it as the libretto of his tragic opera, "Marino FaHero," produced in Paris in 1835, and Mercandante awl Verdi both adapted it as the plot, of "The Bravo" and " I Due Foscari." K. Delavigne saw that Ilyron's drama had, as au acting play, two serious faults—first, the absence of love; and second, the inadequacy of the motive which enkindled the Doge's awful resentment. To cure the first of these defects the French dramatist presumed a romantic passion between the duchess and her husband's nephew ; to remedy the second, he rwresented Steno not only as the scribbler of a silly lampoon, but as the author of numerous insults and injuries, culminating in his assassination of the Doge's kinsman. This being the condition of the play when Mr. Bernard was asked to undertake its adaptation for the spirited lessee of Drury lane Theatre, he says in his preface—" That he was led to think that his best course was to combine as far as possible the poetry of Byron and the outline of his play with the additions of Delavigne, as a means of enlarging the interest and action, to illustrate both by selections from the music of DonizAti and the above composers, and to add the spectacle of the Venetian Carnival—on the last day of which, according to Byron, the offence was committed which forms the groundwork of the play. At the same time the adapter found it necessary to modify both Byron and Delavigne in some particulars. lie felt it best to divest the Doge of that sanguinary feeling which renders him occasionally so repellant, and to give him, in lieu of this, a greater patriotic sentiment. He also saw the necessity of preserving the purity of the Duchess, whilst struggling with the attachment she had formed for Fernando ; and, lastly, in order to remove from this attachment all offensiveness, he perceived the propriety of changing the nephew into the adopted son of the Doge." The play being thus treated, the plot of "The Doge of Venice" is simply as follows : Marino Faliero, an old man of heroic character, who in his day had done the State great service, is married to a young and beautiful woman, to whom he is devotedly attached. Michael Steno, a young patrician, one of the Council of Forty, writes upon the ducal chair, during the Carnival of 1355, some ribald lines derogatory to the lady's virtue. For this offence ho is sentenced by his peers merely to a month's imprisonment. The inadequacy of the punishment so infuriates the Doge that he allies himself with a band of malcontents, and plots with them for the overthrow of the State. A relenting conspirator calls upon one of the nobles, in whom he feels a friendly in terest, to warn him of his danger, and is gradu ally led to betray his associates. The conspiracy is crushed at the moment of its development, and the Doge arrested in his palace. Thence he is conveyed to the Giant's Staircase, where he suffers death. The conception of the part of the Dogo by Mr. Phelps is precisely that which might have been expected from such an accomplished actor. It is a great part added to those he has already made his own ; and the dig nity, passion, and pathos he infuses into it renders it equal to his King Lear or Richelieu. Mrs. Her man Vcziu's part—that of the Duchess—has been cut down almost to nothing, leaving her but little to do, but out of that little she creates a great part, thus materially strengthening the new adaptation. Mr. Cowper t supported the part of Israel Bertuccio with the greatest excellence, and next to hiin Mr. M‘lii tyre again distinguished himself by his vigorous rendering of the conspirator Stozzi. Fernando was entrusted to Mr. Edmund Phelps, and Steno to Mr. 11. Sinclair, • each of whom merit great praise. Of the scenery and mounting it is impossible to speak too highly. The represen tation of the Carnival at the Pizetta of St. Marc is a perfect wonder of stage illusion. The brilliant moonlight falling upon the Adriatic, the gently gliding gondolas, the soft music of the barcarole singers, and lastly, the wild delight of crowds of maskers and dancers, make up a scene of unex ampled beauty and excitement, such as we may safely say has never been excelled in dramatic annals. At the fall of the act drop at this point in the play the delight of the audience knew no bounds. Loud calls arose for " Chatterton," " Beverley." Each gentleman on his appearance was received with a perfect storm :of applause, and as a crowning act o f approval Mr. J. Cormsck, the ballet master, who also received the compliment of a special call. The oiler scenes in the play, the Doge's Chamber, Leoni's Palace overlooking the grand canal, with a moonlight view of St. Paolo, the Arsenal of Venice, and the Giant's Stair case, are each miracles of scene painting. The new piece is a great and deserved success, and one which will most certainly rival in attraction all Mr. Chatterton's former productions, great as they have been.

It has been said that the body has undergone decomposition ; that it lacks a portion of the nose, so much so that it is supposed to be necessary to restore it with wax ; and that the eyes havo been changed. We learn, from tho medical men who havo soen the body, that no decomposition whatever has taken place, and that it is not true that a portion of the nose is wanting. Respect in g the eyes, they are preserved in the same manner as is usual when bodies aro em balmed." On tho same subject the following letter is published :—" Few persons know the particulars of the so-called embalming of Maximilian. Instead of employin g the Ganal system of embalming, the body was placed in a bath composed of reactives, and the eyes were replaced by glass ones taken from a Santa Ursula, which, as it is said, they found in the hospital where the operation was performed. The American journals E have pretended that the body of tho mperor Maximi lian was hung up from malice. This is a mistake. It is true that it was hung up, but this was for the purpose of drying it. The photographs sold in Mexico, representing Maximilian after his death, are incorrect. After the body was dry it was clothed in pantaloons and jacket. High boots were put on his feet, and white gloves on bis hands. .Accorcling to. the:information I leave_ obtained, the Jpody . cannot be taken to Vienna, except in a state of putrefac tion, • if proper =emu are not promptly taken." 66/ 7 61 1 1 TIUItJ) ED1176/11-1.

Caithness, despite Regalia's advance, was backed in well-informed quarters, and at 4 to 1 also was in request for a place. None of the others, except Moulsey, were backed, except for inconsiderable sums.
