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 oat 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 auarters, 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. LYNCH 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 have 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 subjec 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. They 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 bands 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; hut 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 all 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 increased the alarm in Missouri, but the wide spread uneasiness through. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING', SEPTEMBER 17, 1867. c ; ctt lame four States should put the officials on their *guard. They have been careful to order the disarmament of the whites, but there has evidently Lean some remissness in permitting the negroes to an. If the rest of the population are prevented from w taring arms, there can be no reason why the nls cks—free men like the rest, and certainly fav oured rather than opposed by the Government— showld be allowed to possess them. In the present critiNtl state of affairs such a permission is foolish in till a extreme; but, as we have said, so far as the offittinls are concerned, it has probably been granted thr( ,ugh carelessness. In two of the Southern dis tricts the disbanding of negro militia has been ordered, and probably now that th te suspicious circumstances we have referred to have been brought under the notice of the authorities further precautions will beJ taken. General SCHOFIELD 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 destitute negroes shall be charged upon the counties which 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 THROCKMORTON, 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 wil adopt to save the Southern States from a war o 1 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 Pesth 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, became some well-grounded fears were experienced by some that the result of this com plicated arrangement would not be a fortunate one, au4 that at any rate some unpleasantness or awlwardne.ss would prevail respecting the affair. It Oust 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. 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 ho 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 from Florence, Garibaldi has returned to that city from Geneva " very dis concerted with his journey." The French Government has received a letter from M. Dano, its recent representative at Mexico, dated from New York. It was on the 28th of August that M. Dano landed at New York from Mexico with the members of the Legation, the chargds 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 prisoner and some other young Englishmen had upon several occasions paraded about the town at night in a state of intoxi ca ti on with lanterns, and Sweeting had the folly an d audacity to place upon the head of the Co ns t a bl e Duguesclin, which ornaments one of the public squares of the town, a china vessel, 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 din, 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 of Beaumanoir at Lefton. Sweeting denied that he bad 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. He reproached the English garrison with making war iu 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 agains each other. The battle took place at a spo called Chere de Mi-Voie. The natives of Brittany were victorious. Merlin, the enchanter, predicted that the English would he victorious. According to the same authority Duguesclin in 1360 sustained the siege of Beatles 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 D ugues clin of killing one of his countrym en, and asked for permission to have three sword th rusts at him. Sixanhdniesre if you like," rep li ed Duguesclin, shaking and w ith him. Th e combat took place Englishnext da combatanty in The English were furious, and began the assault.

The noble dining-hall with which tradition hcha racteristically couples the name of th e genial Juxon has, in our less hospitable days, ser ve d as a shrine for a ccllection of manuscripts a n d b ooks which, though legally the personal propert y o f the arch bishops, has for centuries been placed at the ser vice of literature and the Church. The library was, in fact, the oldest public library in England, and the original orders for its regulation bear no less a name than that of Francis Bacon. The collec tion of manuscripts, some 1 ,200 in number, which had gathered through the learned liberality of primate after primate round the original nucleus of the Canterbury registers, have long been famous among ecclesiastical and historical students, and one other si ng l e publications which have series ore o f than pub i any e 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 topic 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 bow 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 R eformation, 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 believe, 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 his 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 between himself and the .Ecclesiaztical Commissioners,—Saturcial/ CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. Congresses are decidedly the rage at 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 blessing 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 seditious 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 bad 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 com 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.

During his journey to Reichenberg and Dresden Baron Beust delivered a speeck 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 bei9g 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.

All this, as is known, presages a hard winter." THE ANONYMOUS JOURNALISM.—I want to know what English newspapers there aro that admit what are called "London Letters" into their columns, and how often those letters contain the fullest information as to the names and literary peculiarities, not only of dramatic critics, but of other labourers in the newspaper vine yard ? I want to know what excellent and admir ably-written High Church paper it was which told the public, a few da3s ago, the private name of Mr. Arthur Sketchley ? I want to know who first disclosed the name of Mr. W. Henry Ri.ssell as a contributor to the Times? who first published the name of Mr. Nicholas Woods as a contributor to tho same journal ? who put it in the power of Regent-street photographers to sell por traits of the editor at one shilling each? and who an nounces the departure of Mr. Sala, Mr. E. Dicey, and others, as special correspondents for other journals ? I want to know why dramatic reporters, when they show no anxiety, and their editors and employers also show no anxiety, to preserve the anonymous, are the only persons to be kept in masks against their will ? The system under which those gentlemen, with one or two exceptions, obtain admission to the theatres, makes them known to managers and actors, the last persons they should be acquainted with in their official capacity, and only keeps their names, if it really does keep them, from their true masters—the pub lic.—The ,Broadway, Z'o.

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 Englis repre sentative, to cover ca l umn i es w hi ch are insu h fficient to explain his cowardice.

TVI?ECKS ON TILE IttlSll COAS7 - GALLANI LIFEBOAT SERVICE& , Sept. 12. - We were v i s it e d yesterday (says Dr ARKLOW . Elalpin) with r ; 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 had 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 boat 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 mcrn ing (reports Staff-Commander 11. D. Burney, R.N.), a schooner was seen making for the harbour in a disabled state with her mainsail blown to pieces The llowth lifeboat belonging to the National Life boat Institut:on was at once launched to her assist ance. The vessel had by this time anchored near the Baldoyle but drifted. Th e lifeboat took off the in S , ands and , capta also brought the schooner safely into llowth 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. In the Frankfort Europe appears the following letter in reply to that of Mr. Labouchere, M.P., which wereproduced in our Saturday's impression : " Nauheim, Sept. 12. "I request f rom your impartiality the insertion of the following observations upon the letter from Mr, IL 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 had 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. " lle 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. He 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.

Mr. Fechter last evening again opened this theatre for the season, reviving at the same time the old, though ever-attractive, play of the ci Lady of Lyons." Though produced nearly thirty years ago , its popularity seems still undiminished, and large audiences still assemble to see it. Last evening this enthusiasm was enhanced by the fact that it had 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 th e part of the audience was to ascertain how Dlr . Fechter would delineate a character which he 35- smiled 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 complete success. His reading was " realistic. He 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. 13 f adopting this style he gained a great advantage in the more rapid and melodramatic parts of the drams" 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 Leclercq, who played Pauline , was very effective, and both performers were en thusiastically applauded by the audience. In th e last act Mr. Fechter exhibited a very choice mod e of acting, w h en Cl aude tears the documents and rushes into Pauline's arms. This brought the plaid to the highly s uccess f u l conclusion, and a crowde d and distinguished company left the theatre a little before 12 o'clock. TLIE SURREY THEA7RE. It has of late years been the custom (and un doubtedly, though it may be a distasteful, it has proved a successful one) for our theatrical managers to introduce their season by the production of dramas , in which the principal object is to combine highly sensational incidents with the most gorgeous scenery and decorations. Such a kind of drama has been offered to the public by Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick on their resuming once more the manage merit of the Surrey Theatre. " Nobody's Child," by Mr. Watts Phillips, is 3 melodrama, with a very straggling, disjointed OA but replete with perilous situations, mounted by very lovely Cornish scenery from the pencil of the brothers Calcott. The plot, as far as a string of incidents can be designated one, is this--a w aif ' or, as he expresses it, " a pebble cast upon the shore by his mother the sea." One Joe (Mr. Creswick) is, in the opening scene, a sort of half idiot hooted by the village boys. He has, however, one true friend in the person of Patty Lavrock (Miss Panaee fort), old Peter Grice (Mr. Vollaire), the postmas ter's niece, who is foster sister to Miss Lucy 'Re' garvon'Miss Emma Robberds), who, with he r brother, Sir Robert, arc likely when the play corn' mences, to be turned out of Tregarvon Castle ; th e old postmaster, through an ancient spite against the Tregarvon family, being an anxious Pur chaser. But a Captain Dudley Lazonby O f f . E. F. Edgar) has suddenly heard that the Ad miral Tregarvon, the uncle of Lucy, has been drowned in his yacht, and that he has Jell his property to her. The main feature in th e drama then b ecomes t h e struggle on the part of ' Peter Grice t o possess hi mself of the will, which 15 brought in a tin case by a drunken coxswain, who has escaped from the wreck, but who breaks his neck,l falling down a ravine, and by Lazonby to possess himself of Lucy Tregarvon's hand, be 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 conspin' 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 ratty 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 ia 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 Wlll3 most admirably supported by the natural and graceful acting of Miss Pauncefort. The other characters_ were tolerably rendered. The drama was precede by a new farce, by Mr. T. J. Williams, entitled " A Cure for the Fidgets." , ESCAPE FROM \YOKING PRISON. —Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock a rather notorious convict name d 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 oth er well-behaved convicts, under the care of two warders, ! been working at the residence of the surgeon, Dr. Cqunr bell, whore extensive alterations are going on. The con victs were at work yesterday morning as usual, and Ellis was allowed to retiro temporarily. His absence for a longer period than usual aroused suspicion, and it was found on s en di ng •t o th e p l ace that he 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 lik e a workman's slop, and quickly exchanging thi s f or hi s pr i son jacket, he jumpe d anion.., Underwood close where he was working, and thus made: his escape. W ar d ers were i mmediately sent in purs"' ' and the esc a p e d conv i ct was traced as far as the R ai lway Inn, at Woking station, and he afterwards must hay ° gone in the direction of Guildford. Ellis acted the slall3 detective in connexi on w ith t h e S hrewsbury robberuaS, and had between four and five years more to serve.
