The last expression of opinion relative to this case on the part of our Foreign Minister is contained iu a despatch addressed by his lordship to Mr. Lowther on the 11th February last. In this despatch the noble lord observes that " in a moral point of view, and having regard to the relations between the two countries, the conduct of the Prussian Government in this matter appears to her Majesty's Government to have been in a high degree unfriendly. Prussian law was enforced with extreme and unnecessary harshness, and in a man ner not required for the purpose of justice. To throw a person of the rank and station of Captain Macdonald into prison on such a charge, and to refuse his liberation on bail, was an act which in England we should ascribe, to a malignant spirit, violating the limits of a tem perate administration of justice. The rude refusal of the Prussian official, when informed of the rank held by Captain Macdonald in the body-guard of his Sovereign, was not consistent with ordinary international courtesy, and is a fit subject to be observed upon, because it has not been disavowed by the Prussian Government. Her Majesty's Go vernment feel confident that no Prussian officer or gentleman of the rank of Captain Macdonald would have been treated in a similar manner in England under similar circumstances. Her Majesty's Go vernment must also observe on the spirit which dictated a prosecution for a publication alleged to be a libel upon a Prussian official, when the very act which that alleged libel condemned had been censured by the Government of that officer; and it is further to be observed that that prosecution was instituted whilst Captain Maedonald's case was still pending between the two Governments. The Prussian Government has net thought fit to temper its justification of these extreme acts by any expression of regret, and her Majesty's Govern ment cannot but regard its conduct as too clearly evincing a disregard of international goodwill."

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this little work, in which is described the source of those diseases which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856. " This work, which for twenty years has stood the rest of professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de• bility ; and to invalids suffer►ng from youthful errors and excesses itwili be found valuable and useful."—Record.

As soon as they settled into their places, Leopold took up the running for the first two hundred yards, when he was passed by the favourite, who came on in front, Leopold lying second, Snake third, with Tolurno and Olive Branch lying next, the others in a cluster close up. On entering the cords, Olive Branch ran by her horses, and shortly after joined Ballerino, Tolurno lying third, Leopold, Golden Fleece, and Alba forming the next lot. In this way they ran to half-way in the distance, when Ballerino had them all safe, and came through in a canter by two lengths, Olive Branch beating Tolurno by the like distance for second, Golden Fleece, Leopold, Alba, and Madge Wildfire finished abreast were next, Summer Goose and Snake bringing up the rear.

On breasting the " Bushes " hill Folkestone some what increased his lead, and the race appeared "a foregone conclusion ;" but Aldcroft, with extreme patience, "bided his time" on his doubtful-winded animal, and gradually diminished the favourite's lead, until a stride or two from home, when, " setting down," he put on the " high pres sure," and succeeded in finishing with a dead heat.

We cannot wish that the high-spirited people who are now facing the anger of the Russian Emperor and his Generals at Warsaw should act otherwise than they do, or abate one jot of their just claims. The rights of Poland to a separate and free Government are guaranteed by the Treaties of Vienna, which recog nised Alexander I. as King. The usurpations of the late Czar were based only en the power of the sword, and with that power they must fall. But has the time come ? Are the Polish people able to extort at once the restoration of all that Nicholas deprived them of ? Can the conflict of 1831 be renewed with a fair chance of success ? These are the questions which must occur to every one who reads the lamentable news which has been received during the last few days. Such have been the folly and the tyranny of the authorities at Warsaw that no nation in Europe would refuse its sympathy to a Polish insurrection, and it would probably be difficult to prevent the Western nations from inter fering in behalf of the insurgents. There is evidently a difference between the character of popular movements now and what it was some years since. The opportunities, if not the impulses, of the people are changed. Of old the expression of political discontent always took the form of au attack by a mob of students or work men on some public building; the disturbance soon swelled into a general street fight; barricades were thrown up, the military engaOthand to hand with the inhabitants, and in d,s.hours ,either a riot was suppressed or a revolutieCtaceafap - lished. But at the present time there is si calmer and more devoted patriotism. The strength of the great despotic Governments has increased immensely ; their sus picion of town populations has led them to concen trate in every capital a large body of troops, and to keep up between these and the people a sort of antipathy ; they have reduced street fighting to a science, planted barracks in the most commanding positions, divided the cities by broad streets easily cleared by cavalry, and in short, made it almost impossible for a garrison to be at any time dialoged by a crowd. We cannot wonder then, that even the people which, perhaps, more easily than any other in Europe is turned into soldiers, has not attempted to make head against the Russian garri son of Warsaw. Thirty years ago as short a time as has elapsed since the first collision in February last was sufficient for the overthrow of Russian rule throughout the kingdom. The advance of science has not been favourable to a repetition of this won derful achievement. The telegraph, and even to some extent the railway, serve to increase the power of the Government in Russia, and, in the present case, in a few hours after the first disturbance took place at Warsaw troops were moving on Poland from distant parts of the empire. The capital is also well provided with troops, while the fabrication and sale of arms are under strict control. The Government is too watchful to be surprised and too strong to be over powered. It may be, too, that the Polish people have been willing to try every kind of remonstrance before shedding b.ood. They may wish to stand well with Europe to put it beyond the power of their enemies to say that they were savage, obsti nate, or treacherous; to give the nations of the West, which are free or conquering freedom, an in terest in their fate. But, at all events, they have shown in the present case the courage rather of the martyr than of the rebel. This at least they have gained—that there can be no difference of opinion as to the conduct of the Russian Government, or rather of the Polish Viceroyalty, during the last few days. Alexander bad shown that he knew the better path; he had begun to walk in it, and the good will of his subjects and of foreigners was about to recompense him. But, either from evil ad vice, or from one of those revulsions of temper which are common among men raised too high above their fellows, he has permitted an abuse of his power to be made by the military authorities at Warsaw. To the end of his reign the Emperor will have cause to regret the excesses of his Generals on the Bth inst. Up to that time there was no reason to fear for the maintenance of order. The people, though not loyal, as the word is understood with us, had no notion of contesting the sovereign rights of the Emperor, or even - of limiting his autho rity as King of Poland. We are so accustomed to think of civil liberty as the first of blessings that we have some difficulty in understanding how a nation can put anything before it ; but it is certain that as long as the weight of foreign power is felt the deliverance from this is the first desire, and the mere freedom of the individual with regard to the Government is a secondary object. The Poles desired institutions, not as against their King, but as against the vast and barbarous populations which call him Emperor. Had Alexander understood this well, he might in a few months have increased his power in Europe by becoming the Sovereign of the Poles as a nation, and the object of attach ment to all those of the race who are sundered from the main body. But other counsels prevailed. The dissolution of the Agricultural Society was an act of folly which nothing can excuse, This association, which comprises most of the foremost men in Po land, had for years done great service to the country by promoting material improvement of many kinds. A land entirely dependent on the produce of the soil, and shut out by its geograhical position from eminence in commerce, must be much indebted to any body of men who will introduce the science and dexterity of more advanced nations. That the Agricultural Society was to some extent a political body is not to be denied. Where a nation is de prived of regular political organs it will naturally give a political form to any which it possesses. Count Andrew Zamoyski, the President of the So ciety, has long been a leader of the national party, and the Government in dissolving the society de clared its enmity to all national organisation. This piece of folly produced the deplorable con flict of the Bth. The narrative which we published yesterday is truly heartrending. Excited, as mul titudes sometimes are by great events, the people of Warsaw, unarmed and defenceless, devoted them selves to death as if with a belief that the country to be free must be watered with their blood. There was a general slaughter ; the troops put the crowd between two fires, and our correspondent says that the Government estimate of 10 killed and 108 wounded is far below the truth. The state of Poland is now very serious. Con trary to the example of 1831, it is the country , districts which are most disturbed. The tele graph gives us the imp or t an t news that the Russian authorities have left Lublin, a town of great strength towards the south, and that the Bishop with the Municipality is administering affairs. General Chruleff is marching to restore " order." All through the country there have been demonstrations of attachment to Count Zamoyski ; and even M. Lewinski, a gentleman who had been nominated Minister of the Interior, had made his acceptance dependent on the concessions of the Government. A few days will enable us to judge whether peace is to be restored or another civil conflict to stain the page of history. To us it seems strange that the heir of Peter the Great should fail to see that his interest lies in attaching Poland to his person and family. The Sovereign of a free Poland would be to Austria and Prussia what Victor Emmanuel is to the former Power. Posen and Galicia would be the Lombardy or Venice of Eastern Europe. On the other hand the Polish leaders may, if the Go vernment will really concede representative insti tutions, accept them without loss of honour. All experience shows how rapidly the power of popular assemblies increases when they are once established and under the guidance of prudent politicians. In five years a Polish Chamber would have extorted from the Emperor all that the patriots would now purchase at the cost of a conflict with the gigantic strength of Russia. That both parties may learn moderation we firmly hope ; but the Government as the offender, is bound to set the example by making concessions to the nation and ample repa rations to - the families of the victims.—Times. The Charentais tells the following tale, 'which has already had many counterparts in the French press : "As a wealthy gentleman of Jouzac, in the Charente, was with his wife a few days back coming from Spain in a post chaise, he, at a steep ascent in the Pyrenees, got out to walk, letting the vehicle go on. After awhile a man sud denly issued from a wood, and, presenting a revolver, threatened death, if the traveller did not allow himself to to be robbed quietly. Seeing that resistance was useless, the gentleman permitted the man to take his purse, in which were about 2,000 f., his watch, breast Tin, and a diamond ring. The thief then turned to leave, but, step ping back, he made the gentleman give up his great coat, and threw to him contemptuously, in exchange, his own ragged jacket. The traveller took the latter, and, fearing to catch cold, put it on. On joining his wife in the post chaise, after telling her what had occurred, he examined the rockets of his strange garment, and to his astonishment found not only his purse, ring, watch, and pin, but a gold snuff box and another purse I The thief, in his anxiety to obtain the gentleman's coat, had forgotten the property clopoitecl in the pecketa his en jacket," The half-yearly meeting of the General Council of Edinburgh University was held on Tuesday— Sir David Brewster, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, presiding. The General Council having at last meeting passed a representation to the University Court in favour of the claim of the Scottish Univer sities to be represented in Parliament, Mr. A. Smith (secretary) read the deliverance of the University Court on the subject, of date February 20, to the' effect that the Court was of opinion that the ques tion was surrounded with so many difficulties, and had given rise to so. much difference of opinion, that it was inexpedient for the Court to take any action in it in the manner suggested by the General Council. The opinion of the Court was received with great dissatisfaction by the meeting, and it was unanimously resolved, on the motion of the Rev. Mr. Phin, to adhere to the opinion expressed 'at the last meeting, At the meeting held in April, 1860, which was presided over by the rector, Mr. Gladstone, that right hon. gentleman, in a speech explanatory of the constitution of the General Council, stated that the Council, not being in itself a corporation, had no right to petition Parliament, or to take action otherwise than through the Uni versity Court ; but, notwithstanding, it was now proposed that the Council should directly petition on this subject. Mr. Boyle, advocate, moved, " That the Council petition Parliament to give one of the vacant seats to the. Scottish Universities, and request the Principal to prepare and sign a petition to that effect in the name of the Council, and transmit it to Mr. Gladstone for presentation." Several members expressed doubts of the compe tency of this procedure; but Professor Blaokie - • urged that, if they wanted to get into any house, the best way was to knock at the door and try. The Solicitor-General (Mr. Maitland), who ap proved the object in view, expressed his regret at the course now proposed, and said that, if they took the advice now given of knocking at the door, they would find themselves in the uncomfortable and un dignified position of being refused entrance. The General Council was neither a corporation nor an administrative body holding the corporate seal, and their petition, therefore, would either be thrown aside or received as the individual petition of the Principal. It was at length resolved by a large majority, on the motion of Mr. Sheriff Hallard, to make the experiment of petitioning, thus leaving the question of the Council's right to petition to be dealt with by Parliament itself. The secretary then read the deliverances of the University Court on *some other matters on which representations had been made. The principal deliverances were to the effect that the University Court coincided in the opinion of the Council as to the desirableness of a separate chair of Political Economy, provided a suitable endowment for it could be obtained, and that a moderate entrance examination would, under suitable precautions, be of beneficial effect ; but that at present the matter ought to be left for inquiry and consideration by the University Com missioners. On the motion of Mr. Innes it was unanimously agreed to represent to the University Court that it is expedient to consider ye, hether the scheme of open teaching in the University by Uni versity graduates, under proper regulations and re strictions, might not be introduced into all the faculties of the Scotch Universities. TILE MURDER OF A CHILD BY TWO BOYS. A child of two and a half years old, named George Burgess, whose parents reside in Baguley-street, Higher Hillgate, Stockport, has been murdered by suffocation in a brook of running water, by two boys, one named Peter Barrett, aged eight, and the other of the name of James Bradley, about the same age, residing in Middle Hillgate. It appeared that the deceased was playing on some vacant land near his own house early in the afternoon, when the two boys, without any previous acquaintance, took him away with them about half a mile, towards the suburbs of the borough, to a place called Hemp shaw-lane, and thence into a footway to a brook of water at a secluded part of some fields behind the barracks. They were seen to drag the child along the place naked, but the circumstance did not attract more than a passing notice. One of the boys got a thorn out of the hedge and beat this poor little fellow on the back and legs in a merciless manner until they got to the water, where,thaving deposited the clothes higher up the stream, they absolutely forced him into the brook head foremost, and beat him about the head and body until he was dead, and left the body there. The next day (Friday) at noon the body was discovered, but there was no evidence forthcoming to show how or by what means it came there. Two boys had been seen with the deceased in the neighbourhood in the afternoon, but the deed could not then be fixed upon any particular individual. A coroner's inquest was held on Saturday, and, after receiving some preliminary evidence, it stood adjourned till yesterday evening (Tuesday). In the meantime the two boys, Barratt and Bradley, were apprehended. The coroner's jury reassembled at the White Horse, Hampshaw, last evening. Police-constable Morley said he went to the house of the prisoner Bradley, in company with Barratt, on Saturday evening, and charged them, in the presence of Bradley's father, with being in com pany with a little boy, in Hampshaw-lane, on Thursday, and they said they were. Bradley then said, in answer to the question where they went to, " That they went on down Love-lane till we got to a hole with some water in ; that they both un dressed the child—that Peter pushed it into the water—and then they commenced beating it on the back and head until it was dead ; and they did not leave it until it was dead." No threats or promises were made to induce either of them to confess to the crime; and, on comparing the clogs of Bradley and the shoes of Barratt with marks in the soil, near the brook, they exactly corresponded. The evidence of the surgeon (Mr. Massey) was to the effect, that the wound at the top of the head had produced congestion of the brain and conse quent insensibility. The immediate cause of death was of course " death from suffocation" by immer sion in the water. ' Neither the parents nor the prisoners, who appeared very indifferent to their awful situation, asked the witnesses any questions. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Peter Barrett and James Bradley, and they were committed for trial at the next Cheshire assizes.—Manchester Examiner. When our artist came to depict the fair sex in China, he must indeed have been sorely tried. At first we thought he had given the reins' to his imagination, and treated the subject with a certain degree of artistic license, but a little study convinced us of the contrary, though 'we are compelled to admit that this accuracy is in some minor points of detail liable to be called into question. Thus, the lady in walking costume is drawn with a long sword by her side ; but this may be merely emblematic of strength of character. In other respects, allowing for the absence of crinoline, and a something about the bon net which we have not yet arrived at, her dress may be con sidered faultless. To those who are curious in such mat ters, we would observe that the cloak is a bright red, lined with white; whilst the skirt is a pale blue, with a golden zone. It seems doubtful whether what she holds in her left hand is a spy-glass or a book. •We must leave our readers to decide this important question. We rather like the way she wears her hair, and are half inclined to call her pretty, though we could wish that her chin had not terminated in such a decided point.—Once a Week.

The first lecture was chiefly introductory, and was intended to explain the general plan of the course. The lecturer stated that he readily accepted the invita tion to eve a course of lectures on the science of language, because he felt convinced thnt the re searches which had been carried on for the last fifty years into the history and laws of language deserved a larger share of public sympathy than they had hitherto received, and because the dis coveries that had been made in this science need not fear comparison with the greatest discoveries of our age. He explained that in a course of nine lectures he could only give a very general survey, but that he hoped to show as many inte resting lessons in words as geology had discovered in stones. After dwelling on the wonderful nature of language, and after explaining the various titles given to the science of language, such as Compara tive Philology, Etymology, Gkossology, and Logo logy, the lecturer proceeded to claim for this science a place among the physical sciences. He examined the three stages through which each physical science has to pass, the empirical, classificatory, and theoretical. He gave the etymology of some of the ancient names of the physical sciences, in order to show that in their beginning these sciences were intended to answer the most pressing wants of a primitive society. He admitted that the science of language had. but little to offer to the utilitarian spirit of our age ' but there were some7problems which had agitated the world, which properly belonged to -the domatn - otstisis science. He alluded to the struggle between mythology and religion in the ancient world, to the controversy between nominalism and realism during the Middle Ages, and he cha racterised a myth as a diseased word. He then referred to the remodelling of the map of Europe produced by the antagonism between nationalities and languages on one side, and dynasties and treaties on the other; to the defence which had been set up for slavery; on the ground of the different origin of the races of mankind; and, lastly, to the Darwinian theory, which he main tained could be answered only through the science of language, language forming an insurmountable barrier between animal and man. After passing in review the classificatory and theoretical stages of some of the physical sciences, the lecturer pro ceeded to examine how far the science of language could be said to have passed through each of these three stages. Dividing all human knowledge into two branches, the historical and physical, the former comprising the works of man, the latter the works of God, he explained why comparative philology was a physical, while classical philology was a his torical science. He objected to the name of philo logy, as apt to mislead. In classical phi lology, he said, language is a means, in comparative philology it is the object. He then dilated on the immense number of languages, amounting to at least 900, and he pro tested against being supposed to be a great linguist in the usual sense of the word. A division of labour was shown to be absolutely necessary in the classificatory treatment of languages, and it was pointed out that the highest object of the science was not to know languages, but to know what language is. In conclusion, the lecturer tried to explain why language should have been so long passed by unnoticed by the natural philosophers, " like a veil that hung too close over the eye of the human mind ;" and he ended by pointing out that language was the most ancient monument in the history of man—mere ancient than cuneiform in scriptions or Egyptian hieroglyphics ; how nothing materially new had ever been added to the stores of language since the first beginnings of human speech, and how in one sen se we might be said to handle the very words which issued from the mouth of the first ancestor of our race. In his second lecture, which will be delivered on Saturday next, the Professor intends to examine' the views of the various philosophers who see in language nothing but a conventional contrivance for the communication of thought. COMMITTAL OF A SHAREBROKER FOR A £2,000 FRAUD. On Tuesday Mr. Thomas Parkinson, sharebroker, Halifax, was brought up, on remand—from. the pre vious day, and charged before the Halifax borough justices with fraudulently appropriating to his own use railway stock to the value of £2,000, the pro perty of Mr. H. Blakey, clothier and woollendraper, Halifax. The court was densely crowded. Mr. Parkinson was a gentleman much respected, and had a large practie. Scores of tradesmen were congregated at the doors of the court in order to gain intelligence how the case was going on. The information was laid under the 2d and 4th section of the Fraudulent Trustees Act. _ _ It appeared :Mr. Parkinson had acted as broker for Mr. Blakey for 16 years. In January, 1859, he was induced by the prisoner to sell out a lot of rail way stock, and to purchase in the place £4,000 of Caledonian stock. At that time Mr. Hanson Free man, Southowram, had advanced £l,OOO as loan on the railway stock, the advance having been made through the prisoner. It was agreed that an addi tional £l,OOO should be borrowed of Mr. Freeman upon the Caledonian stock. The stock was duly purchased by the prisoner, and it was not until the 27th of March last that Mr. Blakey was aware that the whole of the stock was in the hands of Mr. Freeman, who was consequently communicated with and who presented an account showingwhat he held and what he had advanced upon. Mr. Blakey's suspicions were aroused on finding that only £2,000 instead of £4,000 were in the hands of Mr. Free man. He at once waited upon the prisoner, who said Mr. Blakey had lent him £2,000 stock. This was denied. Since that time the £2,000 missing stock had never been recovered. The suggestion of a loan was met by two accounts furnished by the prisoner himsel, in which the whole of the Caledonian stock was dealt with on the assumption that the whole of it was in the hands of Mr. Freeman. The following document was put in to negative alto gether the idea of a loan : " June 20, 1860. " Mr. Hy. Blakey has lent me £l,OOO on a bill at six months; also, £5OO East Lancashire stock, which I have to return, and for which I am liable ; I also owe Mr. Blakey £2,000 borrowed from George Sutcliffe, Stoneshaw Gate, which I have to return to Mr. Blakey. " THOS. PARKINSON. " Mr. Hy. Blakey." No mention was made of £2,600 Caledonian stock as a loan. In the course of the case it was stated that there were other transactions which might hereafter be the foundation of other charges against the accused. Mr. Blakey had permitted the prisoner to use his property for raising money, and at that moment his signature was to a bill for £l,OOO to one bank in Halifax ; that he had permitted stock of the Red Sea and Indian Telegraph Company to be deposited with a bank in the same town as secu rity for £1,500, and the preceding day he had been called on by the solicitor of the bank for a larger sum than he had authorised should be obtained. In addition, Mr. Blakey had given personal security and mortgage on Great Indian Peninsular Stock. The defence was, that the prisoner never had the £2,000 Caledonian Stock in his possession. He was committed to take his trial at the sessions. Mr. Wavell then said he appeared to prosecute the pri soner on a charge of fraudulently appropriating to his own use the sum of £1,040, the property of Mr. Wigbtman, M.D. ' of Halifax, a sum entrusted to him in December last. He was then charged by Mr. Lancaster, of Bradford, with a like appro priation to the amount of £B5O consolidated stock of the South-Eastern and Dover Railway, the property of Mr. Edward Freeman, of Huddersfield. On these charges the prisoner was remanded until next Monday. The prisoner is said to be largely involved. He has filed a petition in the Leeds Bankruptcy Court. PISCICULTURE IN FRANCE.—What the French style " the planting and cultivation of the sea," and the English, less ambitious in speech, would be content to call " the artificial raising of fish," is being carried on in France with a perseverance and success which promise to yield very valuable results, and at no distant date. The various operations of modern pisciculture, duo to the inventive genius of the humble fisherman Italy, and zealously promoted by the labours of the indefatig • able M. Jacques Coste, under the joint auspices of the Imperial Government and of the Society of Acclimation, are being rapidly reduced to a system at once easy of applica tion, and of almost certain success, and destined, apparently, to render the raising of fish as common as that of kine, sheep, wheat, and potatoes. Rivers, lakes, and ponds, exhausted by the improvident greed of fishermen, and the destruction of the young, are being restocked from the great raising establish ments foundedin various departments; while the coasts of the Channel, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean, are being con verted into oyster-grounds which threaten, if their tenants continue to multiply as rapidly as they are now doing, to ensure a surfeit of that &duty tg thl QUIT poplijati9ll 9 f Fraucs,--0 1 0 a Wok, STATE OF TRADE. l i C nth T me L n E t Es e E R d , e A m p a r n i d l I f 7 o . r — g l e ' reis a ab l li e ttl f e nr im ul p e ro s v e e a: son, and prospects are becoming more cheering.

A little more is doing in cotton goods. Orders are in hand for plain Mechlins and Mechlin quillings. There is also a little doing in stiff pl a i n ne t s f or th e h ome mar k e t. M us l i ns tind cotton ed g i ngs are no t muc h i n reques t. Th ere is more doing i n s ilk goods. The fineness of the weather is favourable to the demand for many classes of goods, and a good trade will be done in lace suitable for trimmings as the warm weather sets in. Lace is now very much worn for trim mings. In hosiery there is rather more doing, and prospects generally are more cheering. Stocks are, however, being kept low, and goods made for the most part to order. Many hands are yet out of employ, Yarns keep up in price. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. In order to afford Mr. Pechter some relief in his arduous performance of Hamlet, Mr. Harris, on Tuesday night, announced for representation Sheridan Knowles' admired play of " The Hunchback," with a cast in all respects much superior to that which has been the fashion of late. Thus we had Mr. Ryder as Master Walter ; Mr. Hermann Vezin, Sir Thomas Clifford ; Mr. Shore, Modus, Mr. Mea dows, Fathom; Miss Heath, Julia; and Miss Leclercq, as Helen. It was exceedingly gratifying to see so brilliant an audience as that on Tuesday, and the reception of the piece was marked by the greatest warmth and geniality. Mr. Ryder's Master Walter, as was to be expected from so capital an actor, was a most praiseworthy performance, and elicited very general applause. The noble sentiments with which the part abounds were brought out with all that judgment and discrimination which is required to give a correct interpretation of the talented author's mean ing. Here and there; it is true, there was a superabund ance of impulse; but, as a whole, his embodiment of the part was deserving of high commendation. The Sir Thomas Clifford of Mr. H. Vezin was marked by all that reality and naturalness which has so distinguished all this gentleman's efforts. There was none of that maudlin namby-pamby nonsense that of late has been in fused into the part by actors who, to suit their own pur poses, have brought the character down from its proper position to a level that suits their own abilities. Sir Thomas is no doubt a favourite part with young comedians, but, then, how veltraTareirnlitly to develope the actions and feeling of a gentleman placed in the position of Clifford. That Mr.Vezin had thoughtfully studied and mastered the part was evident from every sentence he uttered, and seldom if ever has the termination of the third act been given with finer effect. Mr. Shore's Modus was good, but it would have been better had he given us a little more of the scholar and not so much of the simpleton. Modus, we take it, is by no means a dolt, but a well-read, bashful gentleman, and in succeeding representations, if Mr. Shore takes the hint in the friendly spirit it is intended his next representation of the part will be very greatly im proved. Miss Heath's Julia was a very fine performance, one, in fact, that few actresses of the present day can approach, and certainly none surpass, and Miss Leclercq's Helen, although somewhat artificial, was a very pleasing rendering of the part. At the fall of the curtain the ap plause was loud and enthusiastic, and the whole of the principals received the honour of a recall. The play has been mounted in a very admirable manner, the dresses being supurb, and the scenery magnificent. LITERARY NEWS.—Messrs.

MUNIFICENT PRESENTS TO BARNSLEY.—Mrs. Locke, widow of the late Mr. Joseph Locke, the emi nent engineer, has just made known to the local autho rities that, in consideration of the interest ever shown by her lamented husband in all relating to the town of Barnsley, and as a memorial to him, she purposes presenting the town with a park or recreation ground. For that object a piece of ground known as the High Style Field, has been purchased, and Mrs . Locke, through her agent, Mr. W. Wagstaff, of Great George-street, Westmin ster, states that she will have the place laid out in the man ner the town may think best , b uild a wall round it, and erect a house for the keeper, t he whole to be conveyed to the local Board of Health, together with a fund suhfficitt nies to insure its being kept up for the purpose for whi t n i n tended.

Mrs. Locke has also made known to the heads of the Catholic school in Barnsley, the foundation-stone of which was laid by Mr. Locke, and who for years had been a liberal sub scriber to the old schoo l, that sh e i s prepared to present it with £l,OOO in remembrance of the interest so long taken in it by her lamented husband.
