Business continues to be interrupted by the holidays, which terminate with to-day. Thn public sales for to morrow, and the two following market days are not numerous, and will offer moderate supplies. During the last few days, however, large arrivals of cllonial and fo reign produce have taken place, which will more amply furnish the markets shortly. There is still an inquiry for both landed and floating parcels of sugar, but without so much actual businesq. Rates fully maintained. Coffee and tea also firm. In other produce nothing of moment passing. TALLOW. The market is firm, at 45s to 45s 3,1 spot ; 45s 3d to 45s 6d June; 45s Gd to 45s 9d last three months. HAY AND STRAW. I' hero was only a light supply of haystuffs at Whiteehapel and Smithfield markets this morning, but it was quito ade quate to tho demand which ruled : Meadow hay, Gus to 81s ; clove, 50s to 100 s ; straw, 28s to 31s per load. POTATOES. The trade is quiet with ample supplies, and prices are unchanged. COTTON. LIYERroor., April 14.—Market held firmly unchanged. Sales probably 12,000 bales. MANCHESTER, April 13.—Prices have been very steady here to-day, and although only a small business has been done, Saturday's full rates have been paid on whatever transactions have occurred. There have been very few in quiries for either yarn or cloth for India, but sellers are firm. A few purchases have been made in low and medium yarns for Germany and Italy. Home-trade yarns have been in limited request, and many manufacturers will not have their looms working above three days this week. RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. CALEDONIAN.. Yesterday Lord Ormidale issued the following interlocutor in the case of " Glen v. Caledonian Railway :"—" The Lord Ordinary having heard counsel for the parties, and considered the argu ments and proceedings, passes the note and recalls, lwc slatu, the interdict formerly granted." In the note appended to •the interlocutor the Lord Ordi nary says he has come to the conclusion that, while it is proper that the note of suspension and interdict should be passed in order to the trial and determi nation of the questions in dispute, there are no suf ficient grounds for an immediate interdict, the more especially be thinks he would not be warranted in now granting the interdict, seeing there is no ad mission, but, on the contrary, a distinct denial by the respondents of complainers' allegations of by gone misappropriations. He also thinks the grant ing of an immediate interdict might, and probably would, give rise to great inconvenience, if not seri ous and irreparable injury to the respondents, and to the parties and interests represented by them ; while, on the other hand, the non-granting of the interdict at present cannot possibly inconvenience the complainer or occasion him any loss. Mr. Glen is to reclaim to the Inner House, and to ap ply to the Lord Ordinary to prohibit the issue of the certificate for the recalling of the interdict until the question of interdict shall be disposed of in the Inner House. DEATH OF A POLISH PATRIOT.--The death is announced of Colonel R. H. Bertold Wiercinski. De ceased was born of a noble and ancient family in the pro vince of Volhynia. He served with distinction in the revolution of 1830 and 1831. On the retreat of the Polish army into Galicia he was taken prisoner by the Austrian; and confined 18 months in the dungeon of Spilberg. After that period he passed his life in exile. His father banished to Siberia, died there ; and of two brothers, one was killed in battle against Russia, the other died in exile. Col.Wiercinski was born on the 29th March, 1812, and ex pired at Boulogne, after a severe illness, on the 22d March last. His remains were followed to the grave by the French officers and officials of the town. AN His Tonic PERSONAGE.— The death is an nounced of Mrs. Maria HardinE,, of Labor, Non Jera,,y. This lady was one of the eye-witnesses of the execution of Major Andre. It was she who gave to Major Andre on the morning of the execution a handful of peaches. The Major carried the fruit some distance, and then gave it to a little girl. Mrs. Harding was accustomed to speak of this event, and to describe in enthusiastic terms the gal lant bearing of the ill-fated officer, always concluding her description with the nail comment, "Somehow, he did not seem to have any appetite." SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—The Warrington Guar dian reports a fatal accident on Saturday morning last, at Lymm. About nine o'clock Mrs. Brigham, the widow of the late Dr. Brigham, who resided at Rush-green, was in the breakfast room, in company with her son-in-law, M. Henri Perreon, a French Consul. M. Perreon was clean ing a revolver, and, Mrs. Brigham expressing a desire to see haw it was loaded, he handed the revolver to her, at the same lime describing the way of loading the weapon. Mrs. Brigham then returned it to M. Perreon, but she had no sooner .done so than the weapon went off, and the ball entered her left temple and killed her instantly. The unfortunate lady was about to start for London, in com pany with her son-in-law and daughter, who had just re turned from their marriage tour. gymnast and equestrian, well known in Cafo wa s s , lately marriod in N ew Z e al a nd to a daGuligehortrnieegr3Of Ros Major-General Kirby, of Nottingham, Eng land.

WIFE MURDER AT DONCASTER. —Yesteray after noon, a bricklayer's labourer, named James Burke, iis wife.ll,re siil ing in S e p u lchre-gate, Doncaster, umr- They h a d b een out with an Easter abed 2 r re t; l. and both were the worse for drink. After they returned house a quarrel took place, and the wretched man beat and kicked his wife until she fell dead. On b e i ng a pprehended he said, "She is dead ; but I haven't done it, although I know I shall swing for it." He w ill b e brought before the magistrates to-day. SINGULAR ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM PR iSON.— An extraordinary case was tried yesterday at the quarter sessions for the borough of Birmingham. Two young men named George Syron and Henry Stone were charged with conspiring to assist Stone in escaping from prison under the following remarkable circumstances :—lt seems that, on the 23rd of De cember last, the two prisoners had been con victed of some petty offence, for which they were sentenced —Syron to seven days and Stone to three imprisonment respe c ti ve l y. S tone was par ticularlyanxious to evade th e f u l l period of incarcera tion mouths' that had been assigned to him, and with this view, by the promise of a sum of £2O, he succeeded in inducing Syron to agree to a plan by which each should personate the other, and thus exchange sentences—a plan which seemed capable of being carried out, as they were both about the same age, and not unlike each other in personal appear ance. In accordance with this plan, while the two prisoners were being conveyed from the police -court to the borough gaol in the prison van, they managed to dress themselves in each other's clothes without the change being noticed by the officials in charge of the van. On being handed over to the prison authorities each answered to the other's name, and the deception was not discovered till afterwards. Both prisoners pleaded guilty, and were sentenced—Stone to six mouths' and Syron to two mouths' imprisonment. DESPERATE STABBING CASE AT PRESTON.--At the Preston Borough Police-court yesterday,a respectable looking young man, named Williatn Stephen Scott, was charged with stabbing a man named Alexander Ferguson and his wife, Charlotte Ferguson. The wife appeared in court, hut the man was so seriously in jured that he was not able to attend, lying at present in a very dangerous state. Mrs. Fe- 4 uson stated that on Saturday evening the prisoner and her husband came to their house at about half-past eleven o'clock. They were both in liquor. She accused the pri soner of taking her husband out to drink:, contrary to her wishes. He became enraged, and told her, iu the face of her husband, that she had been guilty of some immoral practices. She then asked her hus band if he would "stand that," whereupon lie and the prisoner commenced to fight. They struggled desperately for some time, and ultimately the pri soner succeeded in getting a knife from his pocket, with which ha inftcted a severe won't . ' 00 Mrs. Ferguion's head. She commenced to scream, and afterwards saw her biLihand covered with blood and fall on the ground in a fainting condi tion. Inspector Hornby, of the po:ien force, ap prehended the prisoner, and on Searching him 11l found three knives in his possession. D r . Smith, of Preston, was called in to attend the suff erers , w h en h e found that the prisoner had stabbed Mrs. Ferguson in the head, but did not think it would prove fatal. Alexander Ferguson had received a gash under tht right eye, nearly an inch in length, from which blood flowed copiously, and at present it cannot be ascer tained whether the eyesight will be lost or not Prisoner also stabbed him in the loins, blood flowinh from tlke wounds iu large quautities. A remaud w aft Est. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 186 S. EAST ER AITTLISEAIIENTS. HAYMARKET THEATRE. No change has taken place in the Haymarket in view of the season. " A Hero of Romance' still pursues the even tenour of its way, and gives Messrs. Sothern and Buckstone opportunities for showing forth their undoubted talents. The former, so entirely quaint and laughter moving, as Lord Dundreary, almost astonishes one by the skill and pathos which he displays in the character of Victor de Tourville. " The Co-operative Movement" is a " drawing" title for the farce, but somewhat inapt, for though " co-operation" is introduced into the play, it might almost as well, as regards the plot, have been emitted. Still there are some brilliant conversation and smart situations, and undoubtedly the large audience was thoroughly pleased. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT—FIVE CHARGES AGAINST A MAN.—George Bence, described as a porter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £2, the property of Mr. Tweedy, of the Unicorn Tavern, Germyn-street, assaulting Mr. Tweedy and Police-constables Isaac Jacob, 201 C, and Robert French, 123 A R. Mr. Tweedy said that the prisoner came into his house the previous night in a state of intoxica tion, and because he was refused to be served he made use of very bad language and slammed one of the doors with such force that it broke the glass and did damage to the amount of £2. As the prisoner was about walking away he got over the bar to stop him, when the prisoner set to kicking and fighting like a madman, and kicked him in the mouth and loosened some of his teeth. Ile then gave the prisoner, who was the most violent character he had ever seen iu his life, into custody, and it re quired four constables to take him to the station. On the way there he kicked one of them severely. The prisoner here fell down in the ,dock fainting, and was removed from the court. On the case being resumed, Police-constable Isaac Jacob, 201 C, proved being kicked on the legs and arms by the prisoner, and Police-constable Robert French, 123 A, said that on going to Jermyn-street to assist in taking the prisoner into custody the prisoner gave him a severe kick on the head, and in Piccadilly the pri soner threw himself down and behaved with great violence, and again kicked him on the head, and they, with the assistance of the constables, had to carry the prisoner to the station. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had occurred. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had been,guilty of a succession of violent assaults, and like all bad men when they were drunk, he had shown the viciousness of his disposition. He would have to pay 40s. or a month for the assault on the landlord; be committed for a week for each of the assaults on the constables, and have to pay the amount of the damage of £2, and a fine of 55., or another month. WESTMINS rE R. A WOMAN CHARGED WITH ATTACKING THE MILI TARY.—Susau Walsh, a smart, dapper-looking dimi nutive girl, was brought before the magistrate charged with assaulting the military at Chelsea barracks. Sergeant Bramwell, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, said that last night on his return to Chelsea bar racks, after an absence with a comrade on leave, he was accosted at the gate by the defendant, who used very indecent and unbecoming language, which she followed up by throwing a handful of gravel at him, as well as at the sentry on duty. She had before been insulting the sentry. John Evans, private soldier on sentry at the gate, said defendant used bad language, and threw a handful of gravel at him. Mr. Arnold—Did you know her ? Sentry—No, she was a stranger to me. I did not give her any offence in any way. Defendant said that as she was passing the gate the sentry said something very offensive to her, and as she was not going to be insulted with impunity she threw a handful of gravel at him. Some of it struck the Sergeant, but she had not intended it for The sentry was re-called, and positively denied this. He said it was not likely he should speak to a girl while on sentry. Mr. Arnold—This amounts to a serious annoy ance. The defendant is committed for seven days. The Sergeant—The men on sentry are very much annoyed by women, and can't get at them. Mr. Arnold—You should speak to the police. Inspector Rolls, B division—lt is the soldiers' own fault ; they encourage women there. THAMES. BREAKING A WOMAN'S LEG IN TIGER BAY. Mary Gillett, a stout, dissipated-looking woman, about 50 years of age, was brought before Mr. Ben son, charged with violently assaulting Alice Curtis, and breaking her leg, in Brunswick-street, better know as Tiger Bay, St. George-in-the-East. Salina Moody, a girl about 14 years of. age, said that she lived in Tiger Bay. Last night her mother, whose name was Alice Curtis, and the prisoner were quarrelling in a beer shop about a coat. Her mother had borrowed a coat of the prisoner to put away (pawn), and the " prisoner asked h er mot h er f or it. H er mo th er sa id, " Come and h ave some a l e. " M rs . Gilb er t sa id, I don't wa n t your ale ; I want my husband's coat," and struck her m o th er, w h o re t urn ed th e bl ow . A little fight took place, and the prisoner threw her mother down on the floor of the beer shop. Her leg was broken, and she was raised from the floor and conveyed to the London Hospital. Mr. Jeremiah M'Carthy, house surgeon to the London Hospit a l, state d t h a t the woman whose leg was broken c ou ld not be removed, and she would have to remain qu i et f or s i x wee k s a t l ea st. There was a slight bruise under her eyes, and the leg was broken in two places. Mr. Benson —A compound fracture? Witness—No, sir, a simple fracture. Caroline Speckman, landlady of the Royal Oak beer-house in Tiger -bay, said that Mrs. Curtis was tipsy, and struck the first blow. There was a row about a coat, and Mrs. Curtis threw a glass of ale in the prisoner's f ace. B o th had a fight. Mr. Benson— One could not fight with herself. Mrs. Speckman, who said her husband was a German sugar baker, declared that Mrs. Curtis fell down, and was not knocked down. The girl had sworn falsely. Mr. Benson wou ld b e li eve the girl in preference to the beershop keeper. The girl could not be ex pected to be sayi ng any thi n g against her mother, and she had given her evidence very clearly. The prisoner said that Mrs. Curtis called her very -- bad names, and gave a spec imen. Mr. Benson you are the landlady of one of those infamous de ns i n Ti g er Bay. The scenes there are dreadful. Tire Prisoner—l have been a good friend to Mrs. Curtis, and lent her my husband's things to pawn. - Mr. Benson—• And when you fall out with her break her leg. You must enter into your own re cognisances in the sum of £lO to appear here in a month's time, on Monday, May 11. 211 E SUSPECTED MURDER' AT HACKNEY.

He had no doubt about the mattbr at all. His widow would have an annuity of £lOO a year by his death. Dr. Ellis, th e me di ca l o ffi cer of St. Luke's Asylum, also felt positive that the body was that of a patient named Heaseman, who escaped from the asylum some months ago. His evidence was corroborated by the warders who had him in charge. Dr. Gant said the result of a post mortem went to prove that there was no fracture of the skull, but he had not yet had time to examine the contents of the stomach. The jury were of opinion that the deceased was Mr. lleaseman, but the inquiry was adjourned. SERIOUS Loss OF e East Indian journals state that a boat, containing 200 passengers, has been upset in tho river Bias below Chumba, near Jwalla mookhee, in the Kangra district. All attempts to save the men from drowning proved unsuccessful. Not a single passenger was saved, and of the seven boatmen who struggled against the wave* of the swollen stream only tYf9 ITROMCUtct • ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. After a long absence from London, principally occupied with a highly successful engagement in Australia, Madame Celeste has returned to take her farewell of the stage with which she has been long and honourably associated. Accordingly last night she made her appearance at the St. James's Theatre, assuming the part of Rudiga in the drama of the' Woman in Red." A full audience assembled to witness the performance, which was announced as under the patronage of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. Madame Celeste received an enthusiastic welcome. For 12 nights only will these farewell performances be re peated. 0 LYAIPIC. The holiday performance at this theatre was Mr. Stirling Coyne's comedy, " The Woman of the World," and an entirely new work in the shape of a burlesque, entitled " Hit and -Miss, or, All My Eye and Betty Martyn," from the pen of Mr. F. C. Burnand. The extravaganza is a sort of opera tic parody, and affords a tolerable opportunity for the.display of the diverting powers of Mr. J. Clarke, Miss Furtado, Miss Louisa Moore, Miss A. Bar nette, and MilS Lennox Grey. The house was crowded, and the audience seemed highly pleased with the amusement provided for them. HOLBORN. The new lessee, Miss Fanny Josephs, has called to her aid the talented decorator, Mr. Hurwitz, of Southampton-street, and a more marvellous change than that which the interior of the house presents can not well be imagined. The 'prevailing style of the new embellishment is white, pale blue, and gold, while the hangings and draperies are magenta re lieved with gold bell fringe to harrnonise, the fur niturebeing gold and white with magenta coverings. Mr. Hurwitz has long been celebrated as a deco rator. Witness his charming embellishments at the Agricultural Hall on the occasion of the late Belgian ball ; but this, his latest undertaking, for light, style, brilliancy of tone, richness of colour, &c., surpasses anything hitherto accomplished. Messrs. Verity have had the control of the lighting of the house, and the new sun burner, encircled in glass drapery made on an entirely new method, produces a superb effect. The first piece last evening was the " Post Boy," which was admirably performed by all concerned, and then came the great piece of the evening, a new burlesque from the pen of Mr. Burnand, called " The White Fawn." It opens with a prologue, which discloses the motive for the spite of the neglected and cruel fairy, Furibonda, which is her non-invitation to the christening feast. The mutual loves of Princess Daisy and the Prince Buttercup are the basis of the plot, and its complications arise from the jealousy of Prin cess Nigressa, to whom the Prince has been promised in marriage by his parents. The Princess Daisy is changed into a fawn, and afterwards imprisoned in the earth, but she is saved from destruction by the intervention of the good fairy Diamond. The King and Queen of Dingdong (Mr. Moreland and Miss Larkins), Baron Tinkle (Mr. J. Irving), Mesrour, the attendant on Nigressa (Mr. Wallace), and the Marquis Dandelion, the envoy from Prince Buttercup (Mr. Harry Cox), all well keep up the fun. Miss Fanny Josephs, as Prince Buttercup, was received with a long continued burst of applause, and she proved a - most graceful hero of burlesque. Miss Emma pitta, the representative of the Princess Daisy, made her first appearance in London last night and was favourably received. Although the new burlesque was seen to disadvantage last night, there is so much in it that is brilliant., so much that is grotesque and amusing, that its sucuss is a thing assured. The house was crowded in every part. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge who were accompanied by the Marquis of Worcester, Major Grey, Colonel Clifton, the Hon. 0. Montagu, honoured the opening night with their presence. THE STANDARD THEATRE. At this theatre one of the best of the Elizabethan dramas was presented. The piece was Webster's " Duchess of Malfi ;" and if its author, the old pa rish clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn, could have seen his drama as it was put on the stage last night, he certainly would have been pleased with the scenic effects. Several of these—especially a moon light scene, and the Grand Hall, were extremely well painted by Mr. Richard Douglass ; and no doubt when the , piece has run several nights there will be greater promptitude ou the part of the scene shifters. We cannot sty as much for the acting as for the scenery. Of the two principal parts, the one of the Duchess was taken by Miss Glyn, and that of the Duchess's brother, Duke Ferdinand, by Mr. H. Marston. Perhaps it was because we were used to the more subdued and refined acting of theatres not quite so far to the east that the per formance of this actor and actress seemed to us con siderably overdone. Mr. Marston would have to restrain himself very considerably should he ever tread the boards of the Lyceum or Old Drury. There were, however, occasional scenes which showed considerable power, especially the murder of the Duchess, though we confess to some bewil derment at seeing her reappear after she had been strangled. Of the other actors by far the best was Mr. Alfred Rayner in " Bossola." In fact, we are disposed to consider his acting the best of the com pany. It was natural without being tame, like Mr. Charles Verner's Antonio, and vigorous without ranting as Mr. Marston's Ferdinand frequently was. The attendance was very large, and the " gods," as usual, vehemently applauded all the virtuous sentiments. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. Professor Anderson, the veteran conjuror, com menced a short season at this theatre last night. The little theatre, which is none of the handsomest, by the aid of Japanese scenery and lanterns really looked brilliant, and a large audience testified their appreciation of the wonderful skill of the professor and his talented daughters. It would occupy too much space to describe the various tricks by which two live rabbits were rolled into one, pockethand kerchiefs and bonnets were burnt and soon after wards returned to their owners in perfect condition, bottles of water made to supply port, sherry, and other liquors at will ; the magic portfolio of about six inches in thickness, from which was drawn out a live girl, a pair of rabbits, a goose, a cage of canaries, a dressing case, and a large trunk, and all the other wonders which Professor Anderson per formed without the slightest hitch. It will suffice to say that he fully maintained his reputation as the prince of conjurors. LYCEUM. The troupe of Japanese jugglers, the same which performed in Paris during the whole of the past summer, and which bad previously obtained consi derable repute in America, gave their first public performance last night. No previous performance of the same class yet witnessed in England is so remarkable as this, or so well calculated to display to advantage the remarkable union of litheness and strength which is the secret of all Oriental tours de force. The programme opened with a series of contortions and somersaults by the younger mem bers of the company. Very clever were the whole of these circular somersaults, in which Oriental nations, particularly the Arabs, excel, and they were fitrikingly estcutO, gticiA wish* TfiVi cawed by the manner in which the young Japanese, with a complete defiance of all commonly received physio logical laws, bent themselves back into the shape of frogs, or hopped about mere animated knots of limbs. Then came a clever feat of balancing. A tub was first balanced upon the feet. Several smaller tubs were then handed to the performer, who, piling one on the top of another until they formed a pyramid, , and placing the largest on the top, balanced the whole:; then kicking them suddenly away, received the topmost one once more upon his feet. Clever as seemed this exhibition, its effect was much enhanced when for the topmost tub was substituted a Japanese mite, popularly known in France and America as Little Allright. The contortions and gestures of pretended fright of this youngster were very comic, and his fall from an ab solutely perilous elevation on to the feet of the man beneath him was very clever and loudly applauded. Many other feats were exhibited, the most rernaik able being the high slack rope-walking. With an umbrella in cne hand and a fau in the other, the funambulist glided with easy motion backwards and forwards, often only on one foot, along a rope which oscillated violently. Ihe power-to accom plish this feat is largely due to the prehensile nature of the feet above referred to. As a whole, the exhi bition is original and startling, quite distancing all Oriental entertainments by which it has been preceded. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Another female acrobat, Madlle. Pereira, ap peared last night, whose performances upon the apparatus known as the " lofty trapeze" are not to be surpassed for elegance and agility. In figure Madlle. Pereira is below the average height, very graceful and symmetrical. She is remarkably pretty, and, masculine as are her achievements, her manner and expression are thoroughly feminine. Besides executing upon the trapeze almost every daring and difficult evolution ever attempted by her rivals of the other sex, she performs a feat of her own as sensational as any other that has ever been essayed for the excitement of a wonder-loving public. Nothing more daring, or more easy and elegant in the style of performance has ever been witnessed in London., There was a large attendance of holiday folks at the Amphitheatre, and the various feats of horse manship and athletism were cleverly performed amidst great applause. STRAND THEATRE. Mrs. Swanborough has produced an Easter piece described as an original grand historical burlesque extravaganza, entitled " The Field of the Cloth of Gold"—a subject which is at once suggestive of gorgeous accoutrements and such renderings of historical events as might well be supposed to be productive of abundant merriment. The time chosen for Mr. Brough's mode of illustrating Eng lish history is the period when Henry VIII. visited Francis 1. at Calais—Bluff King Hal being per sonated by Mr. Charles Fenton, Francis I. by Mr. David James, and Queen Katherine by Mr. J. H. Turner, Anne Boleyn (Miss H. .Hughes), Sir Guy, the cripple (Mr. T. Thorne), the Duke of Suffolk, master of ceremonies to the English Court (Miss Amy Sheridan), Lady Constance de Grey, an English heiress (Miss Ada Swanborough); Earl Darnley, a banished English peer (Miss Lydia Thompson) ; Tete du Veau, high constable of Calais (Mr. F. Robson) ; Le Sieur de Boissy, master of ceremonies to the French Court (Miss Louise Holt); and Rose de la Foix, maid of honour to the French Court (Miss Walters). English and French are of course brought together in all sorts of impossible combinations, and love, jealousy, and intrigue reign paramount amongst them during two hours of uninterrupted mirth. The meeting of the mo narchs on the Field of the Cloth of Gold affords, as a matter of course, a grand opportunity for spec tacular display, and another prominent scene is that in which Francis pays a visit to King Hal's cham ber. Mr.. Brough has produced a succession of parodies, which are as remarkable for appropriate humour as for skill in the art of versification. The admirable manner in which all the performers ex erted themselves produced a satisfactory result, and secured the complete success of an entertainment which cannot fail to maintain the unvarying for tunes of the Strand Theatre. CANTERBURY lIALL. The attractive Easter performances we have pre viously had to announce were last night more than ordinary successful. The result was richly deserved, for Mr. Holland has worked hard to produce some thing that should surpass everything that has pre viously been performed at this attractive place of public entertainment. "The Frolics of the Fiend " were quite successful. They are forty gymnasts, including the Brothers Gerrard, the Zamezou Family, Signor Banvard, Lemon Brothers, Leoni Brothers, llemsley Brothers, with Messrs. Ran weig, Wallenstein, Arlotti, Bartraud, and other celebrated artists, who created quite a sensation ; and we have Ethardo, the renowned spiral ascen sionist, of the Crystal Palace. The Canterbury is one of the sights of London for astounding per formances. WESTON'S MUSIC HALL. The attraction at this favourite place of amuse ment prove more than sufficient to fill the hall to overflowing. The performances of Le Petit Blon din, the Oliver Minstrels, the " Great" Vance, Jolly" Nash, Harry and Kattie King, with Miss Tremaine? Miss Brougham, Mr. R. Lascelles, Mr. Sidney Barnes, and Mr. Corri were all thoroughly appreciated ; and a more joyous holiday audience certainly could not be found than that assembled at " Weston's." MADAME TUSSAUD'S. The truly magnificent and popular wax-work exhibition in Baker-street received its full share of Patronage yesterday. The various rooms were densely crowded by the holiday folk, who appeared, one and all, to feel greatly interested in every ob ject they beheld. Easter Monday usually brings vast numbers of country people to London, and on the present occasion Madame Tussaud had every reason to be fully satisfied with their attendance. Among the portrait models which have just been added are those of the Earl of Shaftesbury, in the gorgeous robes of the Order of the Garter, and the celebrated African explorer, Dr. Livingstone; both are unquestionably most excellent likenesses. The Napoleon relics created great attraction, and the Chamber of Horrors was literally crowded. Among the latest additions are models of the notorious Alton murderer and Miles Weatherill. Madame Tussaud's exhibition has no equal of its kind in the known world. THE ROSICRUCIANS.—AH authentic history of these extraordinary men and distinguished philoso phers has never been written. Their secrets and the romance of their lives, though the fame of both has tra velled the world through, remain as greatly the enigma as over. The reason is that all original accounts of the " Rosicrucians" are not only presented in Latin, but in old Latin—as difficult almost to interpret, even by practised scholars, on account of remote and disused words and archaisms, as Hebrew without the "vowel points." A book, entitled the "Rosicrucians," in two volumes, num bering no less than seven hundred pages, by Mr. Har grave Jennings, the author of the "Indian Religions ; or, Results of the Mysterious Bhuddism," will be published shortly. Paracolsus, Michael Mayor, the celebrated Rosi crucian, Raimondus Lulling, Artephius, Thomas Vaughan, and perhaps the greatest of all, the English Rosicrucian, Robert Hood, Rebertus de Fluetibus, are great names; and these mighty thinkers will be worthily commemorated in the pages of this deeply interesting book. THE TRIAL OF THE COUNTESS EBERGENYL—TIIO Press of Vienna states that the final examination of the Countess Julie Ebergenyi, accused of poisoning the wife of her lover, has been closed. She persists in her system of absolute denial. The documents have been sent to the president of the court which is to try her. A NOBLE WOMAN. By J. C. Jeaffreson. 3 vole.—" Mr. Jeaffreson's present work is a very pleas int book to read. It has the air of being a real narrative rather than a novel. There is excellent portraiture of life in an English county town. The careers of the two men who are the chief personages in the book are worked out to their natural end and admirably devised. enforced The m oral pointed by the tale is one much n eeded to be N t V h i e t hO p ur s e a n u t y day—thatsatis satisfaction nwo unlessrld worldl y fil success ied a u i and a animated me re s Th byeh men ri ch. l e l Prosperity of soul, which a lone mak e s h story has a healthy, genuine reality whichmakes it arm ing."—Mvimurn.
