ROEBUCK, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS SHEFFIELD, MONDAY, Mr. Roebuck, one of the representatives of this borough, met his constituents this afternoon in the Temperance Hall. The conduct of the hon. member upon two occasions appears to have been strongly condemned by a section of his constituents, namely, when in 1859 he supported the continuance in. office of the Administration of Lord Derby, and again this session when he addressed the House of Com mons in a speech favourable to Austria. A meeting was held in Sheffield about a fortnight ago, at which a resolution was passed calling upon the hon. mem ber to ♦isit his constituents and explain his conduct, and on Tuesday last Mr. Roebuck wrote to the mayor to convene a meeting for this day. Mr. Roebuck arrived in Sheffield on Saturday, and proceeded to the residence of the mayor (Mr. H. Vickers), where a number of gentlemen met him at dinner by invitation of his worship. This after noon, escorted by a large body of his supporters, he proceeded to the Temperance Hall for the purpose' of delivering an address, but on reaching the build ing the hall was found to be so closely besieged by thousands of persons that the hon., member was compelled to remain in the rain for a considerable time expo. , •ed to the jeers of the mob before an opening could be made for him. On entering the hall it was discovered to be densely crammed in every part—between three and four thousand persons having contrived to squeeze themselves into a building calculated to hold about one third of the number. Mr. Roebuck was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and the Mayor attempted at once to open the proceed-. ings. The uproar and confusion were, however, so great, and the demand for an immediate adjourn ment into the open air soincessant,that his worship essayed in vain to obtain a hearing. At length a working man mounted the platform, and with stentorian lungs demanded a patient hearing for Mr. Roebuck. Order was to some extent restored. The MAYOR, having briefly opened the proceed ings, called on Mr. Roebuck to address the meeting. Mr. ROEBUCK rose, and was received with loud cheers, mingled with slight hisses and groans. He entreated the people to be calm and quiet, but the uproar became greater every moment. Finding that his entreaties and remonstrances were unavailing. the hon. member abruptly resumed his seat, where upon the cries for Roebuck and for an adjournment into the open air became deafening. Mr. ROEBUCK explained, but the words only reached one or two persons in his immediate neigh bourhood, that his health would not permit him to address an open-air meeting, especially in such inclement weather. Mr. HOOLE, the ex-Mayor--tMy friends, we do not meet to justify Mr. Roebuck, but the people have placed him upon his defence, and he is here to answer the accusations which have been made against him. Why should you not give him a fair hearing? Why should emissaries be sent here to disturb the proceedings ? I have fought many a battle with the people, and I hope to fight many again. I am not here to justify Mr. Roebuck's con duct, but, as an honest man, I am here to give him fair play and to hear his defence. (Adjourn.) The MAYOR —We cannot adjourn. We cannot ask Mr. Roebuck to injure his health by speaking to us in the open air, and if you really wish to hear him you must hear him now. (Oh, oh, groans, and confusion.) If you won't hear him be good enough to say so, and I will put on my hat and take my departure. Mr. ROEBUCK—If you would be kind enough to hear me I will speak. (Great uproar.) A Voice from the platform—l would not address them at all. Mr. ROEBUCK—I do not see how I can. The scene here became perfectly indescribable, and all attempts to procure the slightest approach towards order were unavailing. Mr. Roebuck, after consulting with several friends near him, reluctantly quitted the platform and entered an ante-room. Mr. HADFIELD, M.P., then rose and said—My friends, allow me to try to drop a little oil upon the troubled waters, and to prevail upon the meeting to govern itself. I never yet heard of a Sheffield meeting that would not hear a man who was labour ing under ad. accusation. (Hear, hear.) Ido net believe the present meeting will prove an exception to the rule, and I have communicated with my hon. colleague, desiring him not to leave the premises until he shall have had another opportunity of making himself heard. Fair play has never been refused in Sheffield since it became a town, and I venture to say that if my worthy friend the mayor will resume his seat, and my hon. colleague will come and take his place upon the platform again, from that moment you will give him a fair hearing. (Cheers.) And besides, I want to say a few words to you on my own account at the close of your inter view with my hon. colleague. I want to induce you to send up to the Heuse of Commons such a petition as was never sent up before—a petition from 20,000 male inhabitants of Sheffield in favour of a bill now before Parliament, which, if permitted to be carried, will increase the number of electors in Sheffield to 20,000. (Cheers.) Do not lose the present oppor tunity, but do hear what we have to say. (Cheers and uproar.) It is not every day that we can come and meet you in this manner. We have work in abundance upon our hands, and we want all the sup port you can give us. Do, then, let us resume busi ness, and not bring a reproach upon that which is so dear to us all, namely, self-government. ( (Cheers.) Mr. HOOLE--There are an immense number of I persons outside, but they do not wish to create a disturbance. They say all they want is for their friend Mr. Roebuck to obtain a hearing ; and if he can justify himself they will remain his friends still. Will you, then, hear your representative ? (Yes.) I will put it to a show of hands. On a show of hands being taken nearly the whole were in favour of hearing Mr. Roebuck. Mr. ROEBUCK then came forward, and, address ing a noisy crowd immediately beneath him, said— Gentlemen, if you will be quiet I will endeavour to speak, but if you persist in making a noise I can't speak. (Cries of " Order," "Put 'em out," and great uproar.) Mr. Roebuck waited ,until some thing like order was restored, and turning to the Mayor continued.) Now, sir, I want to know, in the first place, why I am down here ? (Cries of " Hear, hear.") I accept that cheer, and I ask again, why am I down here ? (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Allow me to answer that question myself. lam down here because base insinuations have been made against my charticter. (Cheers, hisses, and general uproar.)

Now, I have done certain things as a mem ber of Parliament, and after 30 years of service, beginning a poor man, remaining so—(cheers) — fighting your battles against every temptation, they could not find a better thing to say of me than that for sordid purposes I have gone against my own opinion.

For the delectation of the Easter holiday folk, at this theatre last night was produced for the first time the "Amber Witch," a romantic opera, in four acts, written by Mr. Henry F. Chorley, and composed by Mr. W. Vincent Wallace. We fully noticed this opera while it was being performed a short time since at Her Majesty's Theatre. The public are, therefore, sufficiently acquainted with the nature of the plot and the musical excellence with which it abounds. But they have a treat in store for them in witnessing Madame Parepa's per sonation of the character of Mary, the heroine of the piece. Her acting was excellent, and her sing ing, as usual, both surprised and delighted her audience. In the last rondo her execution was a perfect miracle of vocalisation, and the audience for some tittle after the curtain fell continued to render the most enthusiastic plaudits. Taking the performance as a whole, it was un doubtedly successful, but its success was mainly due to Mdlle. Parepa. Before it can be described as perfect the choruses will have to go through several more rehearsals. Messrs. Swift and Santley, too, will do well to give their parts a little more study. Still they both in several instances received well-merited applause. So, also, did Miss Huddart and Mr. Patey, who possesses a very fine bass .The-opera abounds with charbling - nio;ceaux —one especially a ballad in the third scene of the third act, brought down rounds of applause, and an attempted encore for Mdlle. Parepa, and Mr. Wallace was loudly called for at the end of each act, but did not appear. A grand Ballet Diver tissement, in which Mdlle. Albina di Rhona ap peared, with 60 coryphees, concluded the perform ances of the evening. manoeuvring by turns, made up the humour of the drama; and it was sustained by Mr. Wigan with great spirit. At the conclusion, and at intervals during the performance, he was called before the curtain, as was also MissAferbert and Miss'Oesten, to receive the t o k en o f pa*lic approbation. " Vandyke Browne," of ancient celebrity, brought the entertainments of the evening to a close. SADLERS' WELLS. Mr. Josephs has taken this theatre for a short season, which commenced last evening, but without any special novelty, the chief attraction relied upon being the clever Lauri family, and this would seem :to have been attraction enough, for the house was filled in every part. The bill of fare consisted of the time-honoured "Time Tries All," the never fading farce of the " Swiss Cottage," and a most amusing and ludicrous ballet of action, called the "Rivals' Rendezvous," in which the Lauri family were excessively diverting, and caused bursts of :merriment by their grotesque antics. Mr. Josephs appears to have opened his season successfully, and we observe he is about to produce the drama of " Ruy Blas, which is calculated to maintain the success with which he has commenced. -SURREY. This popular place of entertainment was:crowded in every part last night;the attraction being the appearance of Mr. and - Mrs. Charles Mathews (who hate been engaged for 12 nights), and a new spec tacular drama, produced for the first time, and adapted from the French, entitled " The Pirates of the Savannah." --The first piece' preSSiited to the holiday folks on this occasion was " The Adventures of a Love Letter," a comedy in two acts, written by Mr. C. Mathews, and in which the able author acted Major Blunt, the principal character. Mrs. C• Mathews appeared as Miss Catherine Bright, and Miss Elizabeth 'Webster as Mrs. Penceolin. This piece having been frequently enacted at the Adelphi and other theatres on the Middlesex side of the water it is unnecessary for us to dwell at any length upon its merits. suffice it, then, to say, that they were as fully appreciated last night by our friends on the Surrey side as they have been by the more fastidious audiences that have already marked their approbation of the piece. The new scenery, which was painted by Mr. Frederick Fenton, was extremely beautiful and picturesque. The entertainments, which concluded with" The ])evil's in It," did not terminate until nearly one o'clock. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The capabilities of the Crys tal Palace for holiday makers were never more fairly tested than yesterday. Despite the cold wet morning the London-bridge and Victoria-stations were at an early hour crowded with persons eager to reach the Palace, and by 1 o'clock not less than 15,000 were dispersed about the Fine Arts Court, Picture Gal lery, Machinery Department, and elsewhere. The varied amusements in the Centre Transept included Mr. Hackney and Mr. Stead, the American Old Folks Concert Company, in their quaint costumes, and the Conrad Brothers on the tight-rope, all of whom were loudly applauded. The fountains played at 3 o'clock, after which the Company's Band gave a performance, followed by the Great Organ, the whole concluding with a promenade while the building was lighted up. The amusements will be continued daily during the week. THE COLOSSEUM.—This • exhibition had its full share of holiday visitors. In addition to the standard attractions, a lecture was given by Mr. Jas. Taylor, on modern magic and spirit-rapping; and Mr. Nighton gave a new entertainment a la Woodin, entitled " Odds and Ends of London Life." It was his first appearance, and he appeared to make a favourable impression. THE POLYTECHNIC.—This favourite place of resort of those who are in search of instruction and amusement combined, was well attended; indeed almost too numerously for comfort. In addition to the usual attractions the managers had provided a lecture by Mr. Fredrick Chatterton, the accom plished harpist, on "The Bards and Harps of all Nations," illustrated by his own performances on the harp, with vocal accompaniments by Miss Pal mer Lisle. We hardly need say that Mr. Chatter ton's performances on the harp were highly esteemed by the audience, most of whom had probably never before. had an opportunity of hearing him. Besides this the managers had also provided a new enter tainment by Mr. George Buckland, consisting of scenes and incidents from English history pic torially illustrated, with vocal and instrumental music. THE GREAT GLOBE.—There is such a collection of curious and interesting materials for study in this exhibition, which at the same time is not on account of its educational tendencies rendered les, amusing, that it is not surprising that it commands to a very great extent the attention of holiday seekers, especially of that class who seek to com bine entertainment with instruction. These were present yesterday in considerable numbers, and it was curious to note the various gradations of won der, attention, and inquiry with which the ethno graphical models, the monster maps, and the numerous aids to geographical study, were con templated by the crowds of busy admirers who wandered through the corridors, listened to the lectures, and gazed upon the pictorial illustrations. THE ,FEMALE SWISS SINGERS.—An entertain meut quite new to the metropolitan public was given last evening at the St. James's Hall. A number of Swiss ladies, dressed in the quaint cos tume of their country, sang several of their national part-songs, which, although given in a language understood probably by very few of the audience, were so characteristic in style and musically inter esting as to excite general sympathy, and elicit unanimous demonstrations of approval. But even more successful than the ensemble performances were the efforts of two soloists, Madame Decker- Schenk and Madlle. Johanna Clauses, whose " comic songs," really perfect things things of their kind, full of fresh fun and original humour, won the chief honours of the evening, and will doubt less render the concerts of the " Female Swiss Singers" permanently attractive. BURFORD'S PANORAMA.—.Mr. Burford seldom fails to present some novelty to his holiday friends —generally it is a change of view—one quarter of the globe gives place to another, or one city spreads its roofs and churches beneath the eye of the spec tator, vice some other city superseded. Such, however, is not the change just now effected, which is one of tariff, the whole of the three panoramas being thrown open to the public for one shilling, a sum which could rarely be better spent than in visiting the well-painted and interestin views which are here exhibited, consisting of Rome, Messina, and Switzerland. The merit of these is too well known to need any remarks upon them, and it is only to be lamented for the sake of the holiday folks themselves that the weather yester day was not favourable for seeing them. THE OXFORD MUSIC HALL.--ThiS recently opened building was thronged last night. The attention of the audience was divided between the attractions of the musical entertainment and the appearance of the ball itself. The musical pro gramme of last night was well selected by Mr. Jonghmans, and gave unlimited satisfaction both as regards the concerted pieces and the lighter medleys which fell to the more exhilarating comic vocalists. CANTERBURY HALL AND FINE ARTS GALLERY. — As is usual on such special occasions, the Canter bury Hall last night had a bumper audience. The Picture Gallery was largely visited, Martin's three grand pictures absorbing a good deal of attention. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Sound Skin.—There are many complaints of the s ki n, which for their cure on l y re q uire domestic management, and foriwhich the mot her or nurse, armed with Holloway's remedies, is the best d octor. The p ro p er and a ctive use of this Ointment, when resorted to early, ensures recovery, It at once cools and soothes the inflamed vessels and irri tated nerve', and arrests all acrid discharges. It draws out the seeds of every eruption, and equalises the circulation through the capillaries from which it removes all spasmodic contractions. As the blood is the seat of health or sick ness, it is a matter of primary importance that Holloway's Pills should be taken at the same time to purify that fluid. HAYMARKET. A mongst the greatest attractions for the Easter holiday makers was the bill of fare issued by the energetic manager of this theatre, as it contained the announcement of the revival, with new scenery and dresses, of Pocock's celebrated melodrama, "The Miller and his Men," a piece which was first produced at Covent Garden Theatre many years ago, and in which Mr. Parley, Mr. Abbot, Mr. Liston, Miss Booth, and Mrs. Egerton sustained the principal parts. As we anticipated, the house was crowded, and after the representation of "The Duke in Difficulties," in which Mrs. Stirling and her accomplished daughter delighted the audience, the curtain rose upon the novelty of the evening, viz., " The Miller and his Men." A more beautiful sunset landscape cannot be conceived. There on the banks of the Elbe was the celebrated mill at work, and the applause of the audience having subsided, the opening round, " When the wind blows," was very well sung by the Miller chorus. A very pretty incidental Zin gari dance by Miss Leclercq followed, and then commenced the dialogue of the drama. The part of Gimdoff was sustained by Mr. Howe ; Kelmar, Mr. Rogers; Lothair, Mr. Farren ; Count Fribourg, Mr: Villiers; Karl, Mr. Compton; Claudine, Miss Haydn ; and each sustained their respective parts in capital style. The scenery throughout is ex ceedingly beautiful. The robbers' cavern, for in stance, is one of those marvellous scenic representa tions that have of late years been the great attrac tion of our .burlesques and pantomimes. The effect produced by the cascade of real water at the back of the stage was immense, and the applause it elicited was enthusiastic. The destructian of the Mill was another triumph of scenic art, and brought the curtain down amidst tumultuous applause. The revival of the drama is a decided hit, and it will no doubt attract crowds to the little theatre in the Haymarket for many weeks to come. LYCEUM. Last night Mr. John Drew, whose illness some time since necessitated his temporary absence from the stage, appeared in a new piece by Mr. Samuel Lover, entitled " MacCarthy More ; or, Possession Nine Points of the Law." The plot is neither in tricate nor novel ; the hero (Mr. Neville), who gives his name to the piece, is a Captain of the Irish Brigade, who has been spending his years of exile in France, and whose patrimony has been seized and held by one Sir Peignory Pip (Mr. James Johnstone), who, with a dyspeptic wife and a silly nephew, Solomon Griper (Mr. Forrester), possess, but cannot be said to enjoy, the property. But MacCarthy More has one of those marvellous Irish adherents who are so constantly found in the works of Messrs. Lever and Lover, and so seldom anywhere else, in the person of one Darby Sullivan (Mr. John Drew), who, by fighting, coaxing, disguising him self, turning-up invariably in the right place, and making himself immensely entertaining, succeeds in some manner unknown to law, but apparently thoroughly satisfactory to the audience, in getting the MacCarthy More property back to its rightful owner. Mr. Lover has seasoned his piece with plenty of smart verbal jokes and odd eccentricities, has written two very pretty new songs, which are nicely sung by Miss Hudspeth, and has provided Mr. John Drew with a thoroughly congenial cha racter. There has been no actor of Irish parts since Mr. Power at all to compare with Mr. Drew, while he never flags, he never exaggerates, and his acting is as neat as it is broad. The piece was entirely successful, and the author was called for, but Mr. Drew, in a humorous speech, explained that he, was out of town. A romantic drama, from the French, called " New Year's Eve," in which the American actress, Miss Matilda Heron, made her first appearance, concluded the evening's entertainments. In the new pieces there was some splendid scenery. A sea coast, with old manor house, he., in the second act of " MacCarthy More," secured for Mr. Callcott, the artist, several rounds of applause. PRINCESS'S. No Easter novelty is attempted at this house. M. Fechter's Hamlet is rightly deemed sufficient to awaken general curiosity, and last night the house was completely full. A great improvement has beer made in the cast of the tragedy. Claudius is now sustained by Mr. Ryder, and Laertes by Mr. Hermann Vezin, the popular favourite at Sadler's , Wells. Mr. Fechter rent through the part of the Danish Prince with all that naturalness that has made it so famous. The fifth act has been rendered more effective by the re-distribution of the parts, and a more polished or artistic display of the art and exercise of defence has seldom been seen than the encounter of Hamlet and Laertes. Both gentlemen during the play showed tAemselyes to be most accomplished swords men. Mr. Ryder's Claudius was highly effective, and Mr. Vezin's Laertes was an admirable per formance. ST. JAMES'S. The Easter entertainments at this theatre consisted of the very popular pieces, entitled " The Wife's Journal," " The Isle of St. Tropez," and " The First Night." The first elicited considerable applause, and the second drew forth its usual meed of praise ; but the last, which might well be called a "scream ing farce," kept the audience in a roar of laughter from the beginning to the end. 1\ Tr. Alfred Wigan, who sustained the character of a French father anxious to bring out his daugliti ?,r as a first-class actress, represented that class of men who, being devoid of talent themselves, make up for the want of it by sheer impudence. In his a cting Mr. Wigan is a perfect artist, and his delinet t tion of the cha racter (which is his own) was a tru, a representation of the men whose actions he wish( d to lay before the public. The cool impudence of the man to overcome every obstacle, and the nn nner in which he got over all his difficulties, stoo ping to accept any subordinate situation in order to carry his purpose, flattering, domineering, be leeching and - ,~ ADELPHI. The new piece, " Maglpire; the . Prestigiater,. produced at this theatrq last night, is taken avowedly from the FrencK. ht is a version of a piece called " L'Escanaotetir," by M. Dennery, pro duced in Paris last year. What :is called t4e " Prologue" opens in 1814, in ~farmhouse ori . the: way to Paris, where Count d'Arcy.(Mr. Billington), an officer in the French army, receives the gence that his young wife hie lost• het reason, owing to the death of her ehild and false new of Ms having been killed in one of the .battles *hi& the French opposed the march' of the allied:arniies on the capital. The Countess; ; in her frenzy, had escaped, and was not to be found, .To the same house there has arrived a wayfaring woman, Marie Duval (Miss Kate Kelly), with herinfant. ' To her is given the cradle and some of the clothes of - the deceased child of the Count, and it is duly installed therein; The mother is dying of consumption, and writes a letter which is to be s livered. to her daugh ter when she conies of age. " :Alamo Avitit- her child therailiffEgs - d'Arcy enters the house, and seizes the'infant, mistaking it for her own. A scene ensues which is not merely within 'a step but within an inch of passing from the sublime to the ridicu lous. A maniac and a dying woman gtruggling for the possession of a stage baby was a perilous situa tion, when that which was meant to be represented was something most intense. The danger, how ever, was escaped, and the matter ended by the real mother suffering her child to be adopted by the Count; an arrangement which is satisfactory, as the mother dies just as the Countess recovers her reason, in consequence of the restoration of her husband and the suppositious recovery of her child. Before the next act an interval of seven teen years has occurred. The fictitious daughter of the house of D'Arcy is sought in marriage by her cousin, Jules Lanieres (Mr. 1). Fisher), whom she does not affect, and by Albert de Viellecourt (Mr. Eburne), whom she loves. Here Magloire (Mr. Webster) comes on the scene, and exhibits himself in one of those bits of character in which he excels. Nothing can be more perfect than his assumption of the mountebank and juggler—a personage with which the French are more familiar than we are. The Count D'Arcy having thought it right to re veal the - secret of Cecile's (Miss Henrietta Simms) birth to her affianced lover, is overheard by Jules Lanieres, who, for a large bribe, prevails on Mag loire to pretend to be the father of the girl, and by means of forged papers to claim and finally to bear her away from her supposed parents. Subsequently the letter left by her mother is sent to her, and by that Magloire discovers that she is in reality his daughter, by a wife who had left him for his bru tality, and passed under a feigned name on that journey to the house of her friends in the course of which she died. The juggler is struck with re morse, and becomes deeply, selfishly devoted to his daughter, whom, in consequence of an attempt at her abduction by Lanieres, he secretes in - a lonely cottage. He tries in vain to win her affections, and finding that her strong regret and sorrow at part ing from those whom she had always known as her parents—to say nothing of her lover—is well nigh destroying her, he sends for those personages, and having exposed the villany of Lanieres, in an agony of self-devotion declares that the story which he had originally trumped up was the real one, that he is not in fact the father of Cecile ; a subterfuge which makes everyone but himself extremely happy and contented, while he in sadness ant sorrow de parts to renew his old trade of a mountebank. The chief, if not the whole, of the action and the interest of the piece rested on Mr. Webster, whose skilful delineation of the varied phases of the charac ter of Magloire, ranging from the careless, jolly, pro fessional cheat—not in the criminal, but the fortune telling sense of the word—who, however, shrinks continually and painfully from the acts of actual imposture which he has been tempted to commit, up. to the passionately devoted father, who foregoes every feeling and every hope to secure that happi ness for his child which he finds at length that it is not in his own power to confer upon her. As we have hinted, there were moments when the chances of success were rather doubtful, but on the whole the piece went well, and at its.close the verdict was most decidedly in its favour, and with reason. After wards Miss Julia Daly made her reappearance at this theatre, in the piece of " Our Female American Cousin." STRAND. This theatre was densely crowded last night. The performances commenced with the comedietta of " Change for a Sovereign," written by Mr. Horace Wigan, which had been played on severed* previous occasions, but which was, nevertheless, listened to throughout with a much greater degree of attention than a holiday audience usually be stows on anything which has not the stamp of complete novelty to recommend it. After this piece came the new burlesque extravaganza en titled, " Aladdin ; or, the Wonderful Scamp," by Mr. H. J. Byron, the author of " The Maid and the Magpie," " The Very Latest Edition of the Lady of Lyons," and " Cinderella," which had a consi derable run, but which bid fair to be rivalled in popularity by their immediate successor. Aladdin is in the old style of Mr. Byron, replete with puns of the most excruciating character, and has the merit of having its various parts admirably adapted to the several actors by whom they are represented. Unlike other theatres, " the Strand" affords to burlesque a permanent home. In bur lesque it has acquired the high reputation as a place of public amusement, which since it fell into the hands of Miss Swanborough it has undoubtedly enjoyed, and the consequence of this adherence to a particular style of performance is, that the com pany have attained in it a degree of proficiency which is seldom elsewhere observable. Last night the old staff, with the exception of Miss Oliver, again appeared before the public with their wonted success, the only addition to their number being Miss Josephs , who recently formed one olf thepri Fannyncipal attractions at Sadlers' Wells. The new play, therefore, it will readily be imagined, had all the advantages of clever and well-concerted acting to recommend it. It is founded on the old story in the " Arabian Nights." Aladdin, "a lively youth,' who from dire distress climbs at once, having obtained possession of the wonderful lamp, to riches and station, is represented by Miss M. Wilton, with that piquancy which has won for her so much favour. Mr. Clarke plays Abanazar, a magician, and has again occasion to furnish that type of the itinerant Jew dealer, with which those who have seen him in The Maid an d th e M ag pi e " must be familiar. As the widow Twankay—Aladdin's mother —who " is rather old, and who even in her youth did not possess -Any beauty," Mr. J. Rogers finds ample scope for those delineations of female eccentricity in dress and attitude and general appear ance which rank among his best efforts. The events of thepiece supposed to take place in Pekin the prevailing costume tume is Chinese. The scenery is very tasteful, and in one or two instances even brilliant. Songs and dances are, after the fashion of burlesques, introduced at different intervals during the perform ance, and rarely without being encored. A grand bridal ballet, in which Miss Rosina Wright is the prineipal figure, also takes place during its progress. Being thus put on the stage, being well acted, and being in itself full of " quips and cranks," and bristling with puns, the piece wont off very successfully, and Mr. Byron received the honour of a call before the curtain at its close. The farce of ~L~z~. NEWSPAPI character is not one made yesterday. ' ez 4 has been up . hy a long life of labour. !dam oft s' you. (Hear, hear, and , lieers.) " I belong' to the people—l have fought the people's battle, and I have got nothing by it. (Loud. cheers.) But, sir, I know my own countrymen so well, that if an angel of light were to come down with simple reason, and some body were to stand by and say, " that angel is seld, body and soul, don't trust him"—if he were to speak the very words of wisdom, I know my countrymen well enough to know the'y would not listen to rea son.

(Cheers and hisses.) Upon the first occasion, when I voted for Lord Derby's Administration, what was the impntatiOn'? Why, that by means of a sUbsiely given by the Government to the Gal way Company "I was . bought. That was the imputation. (Hear; hear.) Now, first and fore most, I never received a farthing—(a Voice— "We don't believe you did," and cheers.) I thought„Vhen I was called upon by certain per sons, that it would be a very good thing to have a steam communication between the West of Ireland and the East of America. They said that at that time the English Government were paying £240,000 a year to the Cunard Company in Liverpool, and it was added that if we could get a subsidy from the Government for carrying the mails from Galway to New York, it would be a great thing for the trade between the two countries. I applied among others, for there were several other members of Parlia ment concerned, though you have only picked out Mr. Roebuck. I applied among others to the Government in order to obtain a subsidy for the Galway Company. After negotiations with the Government, they at last consented to make a contract with the company to carry the mails from Galway to New York for, I think, £76,000 a-year. (Oh, hear, hear, cheers, and up roar.) Now nothing was to be paid before service was rendered. But before any service was rendered —before any money was paid, I had left the Galway company. But there was some £lo,ooo—(Great confusion,'which prevented the conclusion of the sentence being heard.) Now I do not intend to talk to you in such a imise. (A Voice—" It's all out side.") No doubt there is noise outside, but there is also a good deal of yelling here. (Cries of—Go into the open air.) I will go away if you like, but I will not go into the open air to address you. My notion is that there are certain persons here who do not want to hear me, and si ho have come on pur pose to put a stop to the meeting. (A Voice—You're quite right. They come from Bond-lane.) I believe they do, and I shall, therefore, decline to proceed any further. I have not a steam engine at work lin me, and I must at once give way. Mr. Roebuck here resumed his seat and remained a passive looker on. In the meantime the cheers, whistling, hisses, hooting, and yells were perfectly deafening, while the heavy thuds against the doors announced the impatience of the mob outside. The densely-packed multitude swayed to and fig with excitement, and in the most uproarious manner de manded immediate silence and order. Mr. Roebuck again rose, but finding it impossible even to hear his own voice immediately resumed his seat. A short consultatioe took place among his supporters, and at their instance, finding a hearing out of the question, he courteously bowed to the ':meeting and retired into,the ante-room. The Rev. P. HOPI'S came forward and stated that the persons who most thoroughly disapproved of Mr. Roebuck's conduct were those who were the • most silent. The real fact of the matter was that the hall was so crowded that everybody was un comrortable. The people outside were making a most awful row, and he apprehended that that was the real reason the meeting would be broken up. Mr. HADFIELD—I really cannot allow the re marks of my rev. friend to pass without notice. He says that my hon. colleague has occasioned certain opinions being formed of his conduct, and that those who have formed them still entertain them. The rev. gentleman must excuse me if I say that his remark is ungenerous. Ido not deny that my hon. colleague and myself have frequently been found in different lobbies ; but he is a man who can defend himself if you will give him an opportu nity. What has he come here for ? Simply for I the purpose of defending himself, and I think if he had an opportunity afforded him of doing so my rev. friend would entertain a very different opinion to that which he appears to entertain. Mr Roebuck has appeared here in his place before his constituents, and it is because he has laboured to procure a hearing and has been unable to obtain one, that I would ask all here to suspend any judgment they may have formed until he has an opportunity of being fairly heard. (Cheers and uproar.) The Rev. P. HOPPS said Mr. Hadfield had en tirely misunderstood him. He had not said he was an opponent to Mr. Roebuck; but what he did say was, the noise was occasioned by discomfort and not by antagonism. . Mr. W. SHARMAN, secretary of the SheNeld Garibaldi Fund, here attempted to address the meeting, but was received with such a perfect storm of groans and yells that he made a very precipitate retreat. Mr. HOOLE called for a show of hands as to whe ther the meeting would adjourn or consent to hear Mr. Roebuck. A large majority were in favour of continuing the proceedings, very few hands being held up for an adjournment. The uproar, nevertheless, con tinued without intermission, and finally, The MAYOR said that he was desired by Mr. Ro ebuck to state that he declined to address the meet ing any further that day, but he would attend again in the same place on Thursday. The meeting, therefore, stood adjourned until Thursday. Mr. Roebuck then left the hall, and was escorted to his hotel by most of his orderly constituents. The majority of the meeting did not, however, appear to comprehend the nature of the proceed ings, and remained in the hall, crowded almost to suffocation, long after Mr. Roebuck quitted it. ore interesting e ra licious revalenta : o o rs r de tham Ling, near cur[A es n w v i n th ß o z u rs t n m m e n d N ic T i l— b W y e n r 3 it_ arr e y , arabica food.
