A.meri can ' ,tir THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN Lessee for the Christmas Pantomime, Mr. J. H. ANDERSON. EXTENSION OF TIDE SEASON. Postponement of Mr. Anderson's Benefit. Immense Success of Rob Roy and Black-eyed Susan.—Noyel ties in Preparation. , assuming the management at Christmas last of the "-Melt theatre in London, Professor Anderson pledged him 'elf to the public to produce the most gorgeous, and, if pos sible, the best pantomime of the season. Efficiently to carry oat that pledge he determined to spare no cost, nor fail to avail himself of whatever talent he could discover and com loan& His arrangements were made fora period of six weeks, over which term he did not expect the pantomime to run. En oountering many difficulties in producing a pantomime at a house where none had been for years—where nearly all the Machinery had to be constructed and every " property" to be Xade—The Belle Alliance, or The. Field, of the Cloth of Gold, Has placed on the stage at an - outlay of nearly 7,0 1 0/., and Was at • once recognised by the press and by the public as ualug worthy of the house at which it was presented and the l aPrecedented expenditure incurred in its production. Its popularity has increased at every representation. At the pre sent moment, after a run of 411 nights, between 2,000 and 3 ,000 persons pay nightlyat the doors to witness its grotesque incidents, its gorgeous appointments, and its magnificent scenery. The operatic drama •of Rob Roy, and the ever- P°lntlar melodrama of Black-eyed. Siran, produced, as they 'lave been, at a cost as lavish as that bestowed on the panto- Milne, have achieved an equal amount of success. Within the Walls of Covent-garden larger audiences are assembled every *Telling than in any other theatre of Europe ; while the f ashionable character of the attendance, and the applause be stowed on the performances, ratify the fulfilment of the pro raises made by the lessee at the commencement of the season, and warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at havine.ac „eonlplished a triumph in the way of successful management. under thee° circumstances ho has had no hesitation in at , l aniling with the directors of the theatre for its occupancy until it is required for the purposes of thp , Royal Italian °Para, at the commencement of the next London season. The ??tension of his lease has been most courteously accorded to 4 tha,-and increased facilities granted for producing various novelties. The pantomime, on account of its great success, I Pill be repeated nightly ; Rob Roy and Blaek-eyed Susan .* l , be perfo r m e d on a lt ern at e nights until further notice ; the same attention which has been paid to their production as regards scenery, costumes, and other accessories to effect, !in be paid to everything else produced under the present nagement. The unqualified approbation of the auditors, cumulative success of each new production, the thronged state of the house at every representation, and the satisfae ,i°rY result of the last six weeks, induce Professor An derson to porsevore in a path which has led him to a Position whence he can regard the past with plea 'are, the future with confidence , and the pre !eat w i t h proud, unm i ngled, unalloyed gratification. iLhali the sequel to his Christmas season will be characterised r'7 the same amount of good fortune which has hitherto at tonded his career at Covent-garden he is perfectly assured, the doubt, clews which have already elicited success will, without continue to produce-it, amplifying at the same time its amount and its certitude. The public are respectfully aP7a . ; ( 1)4 ", that hOwe,yer pcpnlar any piece produced under the pint management may be, the number of its representations i lrni be li m it e d ; thus, for instance, Rob Roy and Black-eyed "all will be played on alternate , nights during the present !reek, una prome can be mde of ther repetition beyond %hat. ter b m t un less t u be found to a comport i with other arrange nrenxs noW in progress. Hence it is expedient that seats tould be booked early by those who are desirous of seeing the Crudest Scottish spectacle ever placed on the stage, or 'ne revival of Douglas Jerrold's celebrated melodrama with mots attention to the miss en scene than has been bestowed 'anon it at any time or in any theatre. The dramas which Aril suceeed these will shortly be announced ; and the renewed won of the present management• will terminate with the, Production of English opera on a grandscale, introducing the Idiele of the available English musical talent to be found in Great Britain. b ,,TITIS EVENING, the Grand Operatic .

(Front the Tae,s.) The Earls of Lucan and Cardigan are very busily engaged iri preparing their answers to the statements of the Crimean report, but we must not lose sight of the imirrtant fact that merely loose and general re plies can never constitute an answer to the allega tions of the Commissioners and the testimony of the-wit nesses. The earls wbose conduct is impugned may, and most probably will; broadly deny the statements of the regimental officers ; but we know not why their state. menti should be received as truth in opposition to the assertions of officers who were in quite as good a posi tion as they could be for appreciating the actual condi tion of affairs. • What is wanted is that some per:ectly impartial tribunal should hear the statements both in se cusation and defence, Band decide upon which side right lies. Whit prisoner, what defendant, in any criminal or civil case, dues not presume that he has tnadnout.a pex-, fectly ttiumphant defence, if bis own statements may be admitted without contradiction ? At the present mos ment it. so happens' that n auy of the officers who gave their evidence before the Crimean Commissioner., are actually in this country, and can be examines' iu the in terest of the earls ; or err as-examined in the iuterfat of the nation. They, at least, may receive an axtension of leave. There is no . sugsestion that in any ease active hostilities are to be resumed for many' weeks to come, and it can scarcely be said • that the calla of military duty are so imperative as to require the instant depar ture from this country of gentlemen who can give Mate rial evidence. Let it a:so be clearly understood, in order to avoid any recurrence of the futile discussion which occurred the other night in the House of Peers, that the mere prowess and- pers ma courage of the earls are not - r d slled rn '''i n. ‘!Citi Lord Lucan had no opportunity Os ctispla3ing his valour; would be preposterous to fix any imputation upon him on - this score: Lord Cardigan rode ie as straightforward a manner over the bloody lists of ,i3alaklava, as any trooper under his command; he could not have done better ' - and with this. acknowledgement, which we snake in simple truth and sincerity, we pass on. to the points really at issue. The charge against-the Earls is, that by reason of their improvident administration the British cavalry in the East was destroyed. The horses were starved, uselessly and idly exposed, not p l at tinder shelter when shelter might have .heepiproeur con- - ittvred ; the cavalry.foree was, both in Bulgaha and in the Crimea, injudiciously handled ; it was exposed and fatigued when there was no occasion for exposure or fatigue, and the end was that the work of the enemy was as effectually done Ly Lords Lucas and Cardigan as it could have been by the Princes Menschikoff and Gods chakoff, .

(Front the Morning Herald of th,;3 day.) - The attention of Ministers, we rejr.iice to perceiie, has been at last directed to the improvement of the commu nicatidn between London and Dublin, and a promise has been given that an attempt will be made to remedy the disgraceful state of things that now exists. At present a traveller from London to Du)l'n may leave this city at nine in the morning, arriving in the metropolis of Ireland at midnight. He may start by the express train at five in the evening, reaching Dub lin early Vie next morning ; or he may defer his depar ture until nine, completing his journey by noon of the next day. The transit from Dubin to London is not quite so rapid, as allowance has to be made at Holyheal for the delay occasioned by an unfavourable passage. WLiehever of these passages the traveller may select, he is ob iged to spend, even in the most favourable weather, nearly five hours on the sea. He does so in a sea proverbial for its tossings ; there is neither seaman nor landsman who has not heard of the race of Holy head. This boisterous passage is performed in vessels that are said to be buiA tor speed, but are certainly con trived for discomfort. If the problem were to be pro posed how to attend the passage over the 60 miles of water which separate Dublin from the Isle of Anglesea with the maximum of discomfort. the present arrange ment would have been entirely successful in its solution. The evidence taken in 1853 before the committee of the House of Commons which investigated this question abundantly establishes this fact. We need not fatigue the attention of our readers 'by repeating the details. Suffice it to say, that this evidence incontest thlv proves that the time spent in the steam-boat between Holyhead and Dublin is t- the generality of travellers a period of discomfort as great as can well be conceived ti atten d on travelling in a civilised age, This, however, it must be remembered is the interval which practically separates Ireland from England. If by an effort of art we could bridge over those 60 miles of yea, and run the train and the railroad across it, we would go far to make Ireland and England one country. We would do so so far a geogr ,phieal considerations are concerned. The nearer we can approach to this the more we diminish the severance between the countries. Unimportant as some might consider the subject, the discomforts attendant on crossing the Irish Channel form the real barrier of separation between the countries. If we can make the passage to Dublin as easy as it is to Carlisle, we unite Ireland to London as closely to the county of Cumberland. Toe evidence to which we have referred establishes, further, that this can he done. A very moderate ex penditure on the part of the Treasury would insure fur this service boats that would perform the passage in three hours, and which would be of a size and a con struct ion that would reduce the ir.cenveniences of the sea voyage almost to nething: We protest that this is a matter in which it appears to us that the question of expense is a very secondary one. The consolidation of the union with Ireland is a subject which mtut not be weighed in scales, to be balanced - by an expenditure, at the outside of some 30 thousand a year. The facilitating of the communication between the countries is an object of great imperial interest—everything that brings Ire land nearer to this country adds to the power and con solidates the strength of the empire at large. Let us shorten the journey to Dublin to ten hours—let us take from all the annoyance of the sea passage, and for all practical purposes we have brought every part of Ire land nearer to London. The increasing inponring of English visitors into Ire lind that would beyond all question follow the improved co mmunication would in itself do much to unite the coun tries. There is in Ireland a mine of wealth for English men yet unexplored. Everything that makes the vast resources of that country easy of access to us opens new fields for our enterprise. England is at least as much interested in the subject as Ireland. We earnestly hope that no penurious economy will be suffered to interfere with a project of national importance ; that we shall have the very best and speediest communication between the countries which can reasonably be attained ; and that travellers who may wish to visit Ireland shall no longer be deterred by the disagreeable prosp ec t o f a fi ve hours' sea trip, rendered miserable by all the contriv• antes which the ingenuity of modern discovery can command. LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING.—Mr. Lowe's bill w ag printed yesterday. It contains 52 clause; the various provisions of which have already been fully explain e d to the public. The act is divided into four parts, the first relating to passing tolls ; the second relating to taxes applied to other than 25 shipping purposes ; the third to differential duties and exemptions ; and the fourth to miscellaneous matters. The act is to come into operati.oa on the Ist of .January, 1857. THE Town DUES ABOLITION BlLL—During the sit ting of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday a telegra phic message was received from the Liverpool town clerk, now in London, stating that the new bill intro duced into the house by Mr. Lowe bad just been printed, and requiring the immediate presence in London of some of the corporate officials. The intelligence created con siderable commotion in the council, a local paper having that morning, apparently semi-officially, announced that'the bill would not be printed for another week or 80 , and that Government were already so sick of the question that it would be withdrawn altogether. The P ro mPt printing of the bill dissipated thew pleasant de -1 ..948. Where Stationed. No. of Guns. Consple- Ships. went.

Norris, Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin, Mr. and Mrs. H. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson, Mr. and Mr's. Joyce. After the dinner the circulation of the loving cup was followed by the usual loyal toasts. The LORD Mason. gave " the Army and Navy." He was, ho said, honoured with the presence of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and of many distinguished officers who had served in the war. He could assure them of the gratitude felt by their countrymen of all classes for those noble exertions by which they had in conjunction with our brave allies obtained the prospect of an advantageous peace, not only for ourselves but for the whole civilised world. His lordship coupled the toast with the names of Sir Charles Wood and General Buckley. Sir C. WOOD begged to retarn thanks for that noble profession the navy, in which he had always taken a warm interest. It was not the first occasion 011 which such a duty has been imposed upon him, or on which the Lord Mayor and his predecessors bad expressed their thanks to - the navy for the benefits conferred by it on commerce and on the country. Tue naay was ready now, as ever, to perform all that could be reasonably expected of it, and he was proud to see assembled around that board so many gallant officers who were ornaments of that service. (Cheers.) He saw, not far from the Lord Mayor, a most distinguished friend of his, and it would be inconsistent with every feeling of his bosom if Le did not say in what estimation the gallant officer was held by all who were called upon to preside over the navy. (Cheers.) They saw in his gallant friend one of the proudest ornaments of a noble profession, and who was only prevented from winning a great victory because the enemy dare not encounter him. (Cheers.) His example had stimulated every officer under his co:a maind to deeds of gallantry, and this had been shown not only afloat but ashore, for up to the last moment of the siege of Sebastopol the Naval Brigade bad taken a most conspicuous part in the land operations. (Cheers.) In the Baltic, as well as in the Black Sea, nothing could exceed the skill and valour of the navy, and never did it better deserve the approbation of the country. General BUCKLEY having responded on behalf of the army, The LORD bairn rose and proposed "The Health of Sir Edmund ,Lyons," to whose eminent services his Lordship drew special attention. He alluded to the gallant admiral's early carreer in‘the navy, to his visit to the Black Sea, and Sebastopol in 1820, his diplomatic services in Greece, Switzerland, and Sweden, a n d hi s appointment as second in command under Admiral DM DlUilie whoa the Lwar Iv* out. The Lord enli V. 1492,11 spiritaiid of enterprise emanating from which was reflected over the whole world. (Cheers.) He wished that he had established a better olaim to the fairourable opinion which the company had ,extended, to him. The war had not admitted of large ships and fleets b&ng got into position, and finally they had been deprived of all . opportunity of winning a victory in the Black Sea by the enemy sinking their own vessels of war. In the Baltic, also, hie gallant friend Admiral Dundas had in vain invited the Russians to quit the shelter of . their granite forts. Nothing but oppOrtunity was wanting, ai was proved by what vessels of light draught had accomplished in the Baltic. Notwithstand ing its sinuosities, its groups of islands, and difficulties of navigation, not an •enemy's ship dared to come out in that sea. (Cheers.) The Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff had also been completely swept, and everywhere a strict. bleckatl i i had been maintained. (Cheers.) It was very sad indeed that her Majesty's fleet had not had an op portunity of meeting, face to face, that of the enemy, for never badit been in a greater state of efficiency. The Iships of all classes were as near perfectior. as could well be imagined —very superior to what they ever were on any formeroccasion. (Hear, hear.) There had lately been brought into existence a Lilliputian class which, if the War continued, would make itself felt, because cyab'e of striking a blow within arm's length. (Cheers.) So much for the ships, and now for the officers. He was afraid that some of their admirals were too old. They were sorry for it—(laughter)—though lie hoped the country would forgive them what they could not help. But as to their captains and younger cfficers, they were equal to any the Service ever boasted of. (Cheers.) The ships were also well manned, and in the most satisfac tory manner, by volunteers. It was a proud thing that the Queeh's forces, both by sea and land, served her Majesty with an enthusiastic heroism never surpassed, yet the service was voluntary. _ (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had kindly alluded to the part taken by the Agamemnon in th e attack on the sea defences of Sebas topol on the 18th of October. In WI general actions by sea as well as by land it was the good fortune of some ships or some regiments to take a more prominent part than others. Tnat was peculiarly the case on the occa sion referred to, for only two or three ships are able , to get in close to Fort Constantine. He claimed no more credit for himself and the Againeuiron than was due to every officer and every other ship engaged. The gallant officer here referred io complimentary terms to the presence of two captains in the fleet engaged in•that attack. He then proceeded to eulogise the conduct of the Naval Brigade, which took part in the operations of the siege from its commencement to its close, emulating the heroic spirit of the army, and exciting its emulation in return. He doubted, indeed, if the annals of chivalry re corded anything inure strikino• tban was to be found in the conduct of Capt. Peel an d t his aide s -decamp, when wounded, in carrying forward the ladders. to scale the Redan. The conduct and efficiency of the mercantile navy during the war also reflected the highest honourion the country. Those beautiful transports proved to be under the command of men of the highest ability and zeal, and he quoted as conspicuous examples of what service they rendered the conveyance of an entire regi ment of dragoons to the Crimea by the Himalaya at one trip, and the tranminyrb of Omer l'Acha's army from But guatta to Eupatoria in the depth of winter. flaying nn bounded confidence in the mercantile navy, he accepted tha responsibility of accomplishing that movement. Nor was lie disappointed: for in the month of Decetnber, 1855, 57,000 men, 11.000 horses, and 170 guns were landed at Eupa,toria with the lo•it of only one horse. As a further proof cf the spirit evinced by the mercAntile navy, the gallant admiral gavo a humorous desctiption of the appearance presented one morning by the Colombo arriving, her yards slung with turkey, gese, and fowls tolurnish Cristmas dinners for the army. Admiral Lyons concluded by referring in graceful termi to the sympathy evinced by the country in tile suffei inge which war inflicted on its soldiers and niilms. Nothing, he said, exec cised so powerful and benefleiai an ieflueece upon the men in both services as those manifeStations of the deep interest taken at home for their welfare. Having again thanked :he company and the Lord Mayor for the flattering, man ner in which his health had been received he resumed his seat amid lend cheers. The LORD MAYOR then proposed as a toast, "The health of S.r C. Wood and her Mtjes,ty's Ministers." Sir C. WOOD briefly acknowledged the tyast, and gave that of the Lord Mayor. "The members of the two Tionses of Parliament," and other formal toasts, were given and duly responded to before tile festivities of the evening ,losed. The dinner was excellently provided and served by Mersrs. StapieS, and Mr. Harker officiated as toast• master. owil■Wri METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAlL WAY.—Yesterday morning a young man, named James Arnold, an engineer, died in the London Hospital from the effects of injuries received on the Eastern Counties Railway. It appears that the deceased was engaged upon an engine at the Stratford station, while the engine was being supplied with fuel, when the machinery was sud denly put in motion, and before the deceased could get out of the way his right foot became entangled in the works. He was extricated, but the foot was so muti lated that it became necessary to amputate the limb, which iaiortifie, ) , and caused death. The deceased has left af+ 7. • In order that we may not be accused even now of ad. vancing charges without proper evidence in support we' will take a few statements at random from the evidence. Colonel Darby Griffith, of the Scots Greys, was examined by the Commissioners. • This officer states that immedi ately after the 14th of November he mentioned to Lord Lucan that his horses were beginning to suffer from the inclemency of the weather ; but we had better give the gallant Colonel's own words. He told Lord Lucan "that he was afraid he should lose a great many horses if some thing was not done to protect them, and that if he could hold out any encouragement to his men to the effect that they were to remain for any length of time in the camp, which they then occupied,' he- could get them to erect' some covering to save them, when his Lordship threatened to place him under arrest for presuming to suggest such a thing." The Earl of Lucan, it appears, like Prince Talleyrand, " objected to zeal." Colonel Griffith, as though any voucher were wanted for his bare word, adds that the conversation occurred in the pre sence of Colonel Hodge, of Lord 'William Paulet, and others. It is his firm opinion that if his suggestion had been acted on he should have saved many of the horses which were lost. He attributes the mortality among Hs horses to starvation, hard work, and exposure. At last Colonel Griffith succeeded in getting the remains of his rec ' dment under sheds, "th e fi rs t o f th em a b ou t th e 3d of January—having employed, at his own expense, five French soldiers to erect them—and had theirs com pleted about the middle of January." So what would have been required to preserve the horses of the Scots Greys was au amount of shelter which was ultimately provided by the exertions of five men ; but against such a step Lord Lucan determinedly set his face. It appears that poor Colonel Griffith, being very hardly pressed to get up his sheds in time, in the early part of January applied to General Scsrlett to procure for him the assistance of some ships' carpenters, as there were no carpenters in the regiment. This request for the arsi,tance of men, of whom may hundreds were idle in the ships within sight, was, of course, refused, not by General Scarlet% who made the application, but by the Quartermaster-General, Sir Richard Airey ! We turn over a few leaves of the Report, and come to the evidence of the Daputy•Assistalit Commissary-Gene ral, Alexander Crookshank. Would any of our readers wish to know the end of the Light 'Cavalry Bi igade— the remains of the heroic frenzy of B ilak lava ? litre it is :—" After twenty days of short rations, the boracs being at the same time ex p os id t o very inclement wea ther, on unfavourable ground, the couuition of the troop horses was deplorable. When the brigade moved down on the 24 of December, it was necessary to have the horses led, as they were too weak to carry their riders, and, notwithstanding, many pf them (34) on the way from exhaustion, arid a considerable number were left on the ground, unable to Move, with men to attend to them. The cause of this groat deficiency in forage for the brigade was the want of transport to carry it to the front. Behoves theta never was any (want of barley at Balaklava, arid that the horses might, thereb. re, have had their full rations of grain if there had been any means of carrying it to the camp I At least the horses might have been led to the bar.ey, if the barley could not be carried to the horses. Thu, Vier() was all end of the Light Brigade. The blame of its wanton destruction rests partly among tour officers on the day of the futile charge of Ba;aklava, and, next, upon those officers who starved the horses which returned from that bloody fray. What was Lord Cardigan's share in this latter transaction ?

ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. Yesterday, at a meeting of the representative vestry of St. Pancras, held in the great hall, King's-road, Cam den-town ; Rev. I'. DALE, M.A., the vicar, in the chair. Mr. STREETER' presented a rep , rt of a committee on the government of the poor and the state of the work ahnodusoe; er'critdreeldio, report n s d ta ci te u s i t t e h i a n t a t d h e e q t h i a o t u e s i e m i s m i a l ln many e t e e t d i to meet the wants of the parish. That in the casual wards there is a want of decency, many of the males sleeping in a state of nudity, two in a bed ; and that too fre quently the profligate - and abandoned characters are placed in the same ward with respect a bl e marr i ed women ; that the indiscriminate admission of tramps into the wards has been a prolific source of disease and moral contamination, to remedy which th e report recommends children'slabour test. infirmary A fte r p th o e in i t n in tr g od o t u ie t t t i h o : corfoawsdteodusetyazerdoi he a t s a the committee recommend • that the young should be en tirely removed from the workhouse, and points out the evil of employing aged and intemperate paupers as nurses. The insane ward was described as being under ground and much crowded, and that in one ward con. taming only 2,800 cubic feet there were nine patients suffering from syphilis. The water supply had been somewhat defective, but the supply of beer was unneces sarily great. The report recommends the establishment of a new laundry and various other remedies for the evii's named. Mr. STREETEN moved, and Major CORER seconded, the motion that the report be received and entered en the minutes. Mr. SPOONER moved that the report be printed. The workhouse management was really in a lamentable state. Only the previous night a man was taken to the work house in an insensible state—that man was his servant. When called to him he found him stripped of his gar ments, lying in a fit of alcoholic apoplexy. The surgeon, Mr. Waldegrave, was called, and he ordered mustard to be applied to the extremities ; instead of which, the men who had charge of the unfortunate man in a foul ward had drenched him with cold water, and but for the se. aLcsito her a nything like ani mation (Mr. Sp ooner ) and e dulous attention of Mr. Waldegra ve there cou ld be no doubt that this treatment w ould have caused the poor man's death. When ho t-water a pp lication s were or dered, it was found t hat there was n o t a drop of hot — ed en fr ba i a c b t nl i el o ed)t i The man w as st ill insen sible, n mt w h a ne t td e jo r onc i t n boyr th we e eor b ne cu o t tl ion se ( t Y Bible, and in a very dangerous state. It was to be hoped that now, at least, some step would be taken to remedy such a disgraceful state of things. Mr. MANNOCK seconded the motion, which was sup the evils which had been looked intoP ported by Mr. W. D. COOPER, Who oi b n y te t d h o e ut many boardof f directors, who had recommended the late vestry to take steps for remedying the same, but they declined to do se on the score of expense. The resolution was carried, and the report will bo again brought up for consideration.
