TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. INDIA. The following telegraphic despatch, dated Dec. 27, has been received at the Foreign Office, from Lord Lyons at Malta : The Vectis has brought the Calcutta mail, of the 24th of November, fatly confirming the relief of Lucknow, but nothing more. AUSTRALIA. The Great Britain has arrived from New South Wales with 1,427 ounces of gold, valued at 5,708. HAMBURGH. Affairs begin to brighten, confidence is gradually being restored, and business is taking a more favourable turn. The amount of specie in the bank is greater than it ever has been during the last two years it is nearly 80,060,000 of marks bane°. The gradual fall in the rate of discount is a proof of returning prosperity. The Jerrold "In Memoriam" is sufficient to secure an annuity, we (Illustrated London News) are told, of £l2O a year for Mrs. Jerrold and her unmarried daughter, and the survivor of the two. A letter from Rome, of the 19th, states that the Princess Helena of Russia had an audience of the Pope on the previous day. She went to the Vatican with her suite in the state carriage of the Russian ambassador. The Empress of the French is said to have determined on celebrating, by a magnificent fete, the marriage of the Princess Royal of England ; and the rumour runs at Court that this entertainment will be entirely offered to the English residents in Paris. Nothing can be more graceful that this idea, and we have no doubt that it will not fail to give great satisfaction to our countrywomen.— Court Journal. The Council of the Society of Arts have assented to the proposal made by the Institutional Association of Lan cashire and Cheshire, that they may be allowed to hold the preliminary examination for 1858 in Lancashire and Cheshire in Easter week, six weeks before Whitsuntide, instead of twelve weeks before, as laid down in the pro gramme ; the report to be furnished to the council not lees than five weeks before Whitsuntide. The Council of the Scciety of Arts have fixed to hold a conference of representatives from institutions in London aid the neighbourhood, with a view to the organisation of local boards in connection with the examinations. The confe:ence will take place on Monday evening, the 11th of January, when the attendance of two or three representatives faom each institution is invited. Representatives from institutions not in union with the society are also invited to be present. PATIENCE.-1 fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, on the eve of his departure from the university, preached at St. Mary's upon these words, "Have patience with me. and I wilt pay you all." And, owing a great suns of money in the town, enlarged mightily on th e first part of the text, Ic Have patience," &c. Now," says he " I should come to the second part, and I will pay you all ;' but having pressed too long on your patience, I must leave that till the next opportunity; so pray have patience with me." THE CONDEMNED Ct NVICT BEALE.—The execution of John William Beale, for the murder of Charlotte Pu,tesley, in Leigh Woods, has been fixed for Tuesday, the 12th of January. On the prisoner's return to Wilton gaol after the trial, the clothes winch he had worn during the day were taken off, and he was attired in the prison garb. It is reported on good authority that before the trial Beale made a statement to his professional adviser admitting his guilt, but affirming that the two witnesses, Hancock and Jackson, who were called to depose to having seen him in company with a woman in the vicinity of Nightingale-valley between five and s - x o'clock on the n'ght of the murder, were mistaken ; that the tragedy was not perpetrated for several hours afterwards, and that Mr. Rudd Lucas, the surgeon, was nearly correct when he stated his opinion that the b tdy had not been dead much more than 24 hours when he sew it on Saturday morning, the 12th cf Sep tember. Beale has also negatived the seggestion made on -the part of the prosecution, that the knife found in his butler's pantry at Dcventry was the instrument with which the unfortunate girl's throat was cut. He says that the murder was committed with a razor, which he afterwards threw away, end which must have escaped the search which was made in Leigh Woods for any articles calculated to throw light upon the mystery with which the case was so long surrounded. A BANTER COWHIDE]) BY A LADY IN WISCONSIN,—A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, writirg from Sant s ville December 5, says:—" On last Tuesday the good people of Janesville were furnished with a hit of excite ment, growing out of the cowhiaing of Mr. John P. Hoyt, a well-known hanker of this city, by Mrs. Clarinda A. Andrews, the proprietoress of a millinery store. In the morning. as Hoyt vets passi ng up West Milwaukie.street to his cffiee, Mrs. Andrews saw him from her store on the opposite side of the street, and seizing a stout cowhide which she had provided for the purpose, crossed the street, and the following conversation en sued A. : 'ls your name Hoyt ?' H. (bowing politely) : 'lt is, madam.' Mrs- A. : Yen have aced the traitor is me and my husband.' And without further ado the lady proceeded to administer a severe flagellation, laying her whip over Hoyt's face and shoulders with an emphasis which was feelingly appreciated by the recipient. The proceeding of course collected quite a crowd, and the byestanders interfering, Hoyt escaped from the clutches of Madame A. A warrant was procured from the police-court, and the lady brought before that tribunal to answer a charge of as ault and battery. The sapient dispenser of law in that court fined her 50 dollars and costs, which sum was promply paid by the citizens. The cause of the difficulty was alleged sharp practice with a mortgage and bad faith on the part of Hoyt." Tun COLLISION ON TUE O.IPORD, WORCESTEx, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY.---In investigation into the circumstances of the c Alision between the two trains near Charlbnry on the previous Friday took place before the manager, secretary, and engineer of the company, at War -colter, on 'Thursday. The drivers and stokers of both trains were examined, and all agreed that when the train which rues from Oxford arrived at the junction at Hand borough with the Bletchley line the express from Euston square to meet it was behind time, so that the express did net leave Handhorough until about twenty minutes after its proper time. 'The ordinary stopping train followed in 6Ve minutes after. The driver of the caress train stated that all was right till he arrived within a couple of miles or so of Charibury, when he heard a bumping, and consequently stopped the train. On examining the engine he found that the "cotter" had given way. The guard ran back along the line with his lamp, and laid down a fog signal, but notwithstanding this, while he (the driver) was examining his engine, the ordinary train c .me up and the collision took place. He and the stoker said they had stopped about two minutes when this happened, and that there was no time to get the passengers out. The driver, stoker, and guard of the express considered that the ordinary train must have been going faster than usual. The driver and stoker of the latter said they were travelling at about thirty miles an hour, which they had not time to reduce to less than fourteen when they ran into the other train. All the drivers and stokers are suspended till after the investigation by the Government inspector, which will soon take place. Jimmie EMANCIPATION.—At the annual dinner of the Hebrew Benevolent Institution, Portsmouth, held in that town on Wednesday last, speeches were delivered by the two members for the county, and one for the borough, viz., the Hen. R. Dutton, Sir Jervoise C. Jorvoise, and Sir Jas. Elphinstone, Bart. The Hon. Ralph Dutton said : es With reference to the emancipation of the Hebrews, they well knew that his vote was an adverse Otte, and therefore it was no merit for him to tell them his opinion. H e would never conceal his opinions, and he would tell them that he opposed it simply from a conscientious feeling. lie might answer every argots:lent his friend had brought forward, with another, if he cared to take up their time and attention by doing so, but he would simply ask them, would they have, a representative to represent their interests, who gave any vote, or who acted in any other manner than from conscientious motives ? He would, however, add, that he thought it was now a feregono conclusion ; he considered the House of Commons hal done with it. It had been decided by a great majo,ity— wisely, perhaps—that the admission of Hebrews into Par liament should be established. He believed the matter now rested with the House of Lords, but be would say that he voted against the bill at every stage, and not from any jealousy to the Hebrews, but browse it was brought before the house in au unconstitutional form. He had heard sentiments expressed in the House of Commons, with reference to the House of Lords, which he hardly dared to repeat—sentiments which he considered to be dangerous to the constitution, and he was determined, whatever might be the result, to vote against that uncon stitutional bill."

OLD CHRISTMAS. If the day of Christmas has passel, the holidays and festive season have only been ushered in. And such fine weather, perhaps, the myth—the " oldest inhabitant " never beheld about this period of the year as we are favoured with just now. Saturday was literally the Christmas market day ; for all the markets were quite as full of people—sight-seers and purchasers—as on Thurs day. There were additional dccoratioas and illuminations also, and business seemed very brisk. In our last notice we omitted to mention the shop of Mr. Joseph Tomlinson, wholesale shipping butcher, 89, Park-lane, who showed eight prime oxen, bred and fed by Thos. Hopkins, Esq., Dangertown, near Navin, Cannty Meath, Ireland ; four prime oxen bred and fed by William Tomlinson, Esq., Barrack-Side, near Carlisle, Camberl and ; twelve splendi sheep (wethers, four years old) bred and fed by Jas, Healey, Esq., Farganston Hall, near Navin, County Meath, Ireland ; some of the sheep weighed over 140 lbs. ; also a thorough bred Chinese pig, a very fine animal, fed by Joseph Tomlinson, 89, Park-lane. The town seemed more plethoric with people on Saturday than on Thursday, and the shops wore a gayer and more animated aspect than on any day in the week. The weather, too, was very fine. The same remark applies to yesterday, when the atmosphere was downright warm. Amongst the many festivities, may be mentioned that of Messrs. Frisby, Dyke, and Co., of Lord-street. The annual dinner was presided over by Mr. E. Thomas, and Mr. Duckett filled the vice-chair. The arrangements were complete. the viands excellent, and the decoration of the dining :hall (thanks to Mr. Middlefell) perfect. The embellishments: comprised the: happy swords " Welcome, and Merry Christmas," and were formed i❑ laurel and roses. Dancing commenced at half-past eight, Mr. Frei. Frisby leading off. We cannot forbear to notice the admirable management of the worthy hostess, and the exertions (to make all present happy) of Messrs. D• Ritchie, E.l homes, Duckett, G. Flemming, Simons, Evans, &c. The galaxy of female beauty was perfect, and all went "merry as a marriage bell." aselves with saying that Mr. Cook's company is in no way inferior to either of the very excellent equestrian troupe: which:have visited Liverpool during the past year, PARK THEATRE. "On Saturday night, the new Pantomine, entitled " Little Red Riding Hood, or Harlequin Dicky Sara and the Wolf of Toxteth," by Charles ,Millward, Esq., was given at this theatre. The house was crowded to excess. We gave in this paper, a few days ago, the plot of this piece, and referred to some of the local matters upon which it touched, and we have now only to add that the produc tion of it on the stage of the Park Theatre is highly cre ditable to the naanager. No expense has been spared to produce the proper effect. The scenery is rich and highly effective, and the performers were all in good character, and well sustained. Tho fifth scene might be especially alluded to as exceedingly beautiful. It is entitled the " Dingle Mount, and Floral Home of the Fairies." Twelve ladies appear in this scene in light and tinselled costume, each bearing a garland of flowers and: go through with easy elegance various fantastic attitudes, deserving the warmest approbation. The, juvenile troupe took their part well. The transformations were faultless. 'We wil 1 conclude this notice by recommending all, and especially those who feel interested in the traditions of the " good old town," to go and see this legend as produced in this theatre. him, and whose gentlemanly . conduct has rendered him such an esteemed favourite, has recovered from his illness, and is at his post as astral. Everything went elf with eclat, and, as already observed, the treat in store for this week, with the grand equestrian spectacle called the " Italian Brigands," which will be produced at the mid-day performances of Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday; as well as every evening, no doubt the public patronage will be increased towards this rare estab lishment. THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES. NAMES, Dec. 19.—1 must for the present leave all other subjects and apply myself in the first place to a descrip tion of the earthquake which occurred in this kingdom on the night of Wednesday, the 16th, and which threatened the:destruction of Naples.Zl think I mentioned in a formir letter:that the cone ofiVesuvius had been destroyed by the shock:of an earthquake felt:slightly here on the night of the :7th:inst. Well, nothing more had occurred in tl e interval, the old mountain smoked:his pipe as usual, and people went out to see the fiire up which he made.;` On Wednesday:nightilast, however, I was writing when the table:began'to shake h iviolently, the lamp to rock, and the bells of tke house to ring as if they had been pulled by a strong hand. The walls of my room, too, visibly waved baekwards and forwards, and creaked as might a boat straining heavily at sea. There could be no doubt as to the cause of these awful phenomenon, and I rushed out of my house. There had already been two shocks trp to this time, then came a third so strong that I thought that the house would have fallen and buried me in its ruins. Some women were seated on the ground, and in nearly a faint ing state leaning against the wall, to whose movement s they yielded, rocked backwards and forwards as in a cradle. By this time people were escaping rapidly into the streets, and making inquiries as to each ott er'S experience. Every one came to look at Vesuvius, but the mountain gave little comfort; it threw out but little fire, and seemed sulky and gloomy. It was not an agree able prospect in view in returning to one's own house, so that I resolved to walk the streets, and the scene which presented itself will never be effaced from my memory. They were full of anxious trembling persons, some half. dressed, some in their shirts, some wrapped up in sheets or blankets, and some in the- gay dresses in which they had escaped from the drawing-room or the theatre. All the piazzas were full of carriages, which were occupied by families who had abandoned their houses. At every hundred steps fires were lighted, round which were bivaucked from fifty to one hundred persons of all ranks. A painter might have found wonderful studies if he had been so inclined, but, alas, other thoughts were uppermost. Leaving the Riviera di Chiaja, I went into the city, and found there the same state of excitement to exist• The Palace yard, the Largo Castello, and other open places were full of carriages, in which•their inmates were reposing for the night. Hundreds of persons were couched on the steps of the churches, awl later in the light the images of the Saints were carried in procession, whilst the people sang Litanies. As the houses were in many instances left ♦acant, the refuse of the population, who are always ready in times of anxiety to profit by the fears of the more timid, began to create confusion in order to rob. Republican cries were raised of " Viva i Tornesi,". and many houses were entered. Strong patrols, itherefore, of the police, gendarmerie, and military paraded the streets, and much praise is due to the authorities for maintaining order. Most of the population passed the night in the streets and the next day brought with it the same wonderful summer-like weather that we have had for the last two 'sr three months. During the day great anxiety prevailed amongst the provincials to know to what extent their families might have suffered, and the telegraph office was so besieged, that a sentinel was placed before it to prohibit all persons from entering. Oa walking through the Toledo, crowds were assembled looking at the fissures that had been made in some of the lofty houses. The monastery of the Jesuits gave similar indications of the terrors of the preceding night, and I was told that the great bell had been rung by the shock. According to an opinion entitled to some respect, the electric current had travelled from south to north, Naples having been at the extremity of it, so that batelligeace from the Calabrias was anxiously expected. The Official fount of the night of the 17th, says that no news had been received at Salerno from Sala, Lagoeegro. or the Calabrias, notwithstanding ,repeated enquiries by the electric telegraph. Oa the same evening the following letter to the directors of the Oficial Journal, from the directors of the Royal Astronomical Observatory at Capo di Monte was published::—" I hasten to apprise you that last night, at 10.10 p.m., the shock of an eathquake was felt, which lasted from four to five seconds. This was followed by another of much greater intensity, after an interval of two minutes, lasting about twenty seconds. Both shocks were undulatory, and in the direction of from south to north. The destructive :character of this shock, is shown by the fact of two pendulum clocks of the Observatory having been stopped, whilst three others continued in;:movemeat, as:alse by the fissures at the ba.e of the tower on which the equatorial machinery is placed. Two other light shocks were felt at three and five on the following morning." On the night of the 17th, as there was a common expectation that the shocks would be repeated, great numbers of people passed the night in the streets. On the morning of the 18th mere details woreibroug,ht into the city, which I condense. The electric telegraph had been interrupted between Eboli and Sala, from which latter place very efilieting intelligence had been received. Three lives had been lost, and the prison and the barracks had been opened from top to bottom. In Atena half the houses had fallen ; in Padula ,snore than 100 houses had given way, and it is not knewn how many persons had perished. In Pella the disasters were immense and the victims numerous, amongst whom was the brigade of gendarmes ; in Auletta, Petrosa, and Caggiano the deaths and ruin of houses were very many ; in Salerno, too, numerous houses had fissures opened, among which were two churches, the Palace of the Intendenza, and the barracks of the gendarmes ; the belfry and the church of Said ana also gave way, and two women in a neighbouring house were killed ; in Campagna many houses were injured. Towards the evoning of Friday (last night) news arrived from Basilicata that in Potecza great destruction had been occasioned, many houses had been thrown down, and a large number of persons, how many is not known, had perished. The telegraphic despatch from Bari is imperfect; it runs thus :—" The greater part of the inhabitants are . . ." This intelligence is official, bat from other and very reliable sources I hear that the disasters have been greater than are given out. Every moment brings notice of somo fresh misfortune, but I :must reserve farther details for my next letter. In this capital most of the houses have suffercd more or less, and every place in the immediate neighbourhood 11.5 s cr to recount. A CALIFORNIAN CONFFSSOR —A certain llPrr C—, for instance, whom we met in Nicaragua returning from Sao Francisco, was a good specimen of a smart man. lie was by birth a German, but had been many gears in Cali fornia, where he had carried on the various professions of gold digger, innkeepfr, apothecary, physician, night watch man, aura horse dealer ; but as all these spccelations had, sooner or later, tiarnei out untortunatelv, and the dollars ware becoming extremely scarce, he bethought himself to shave his head, lira on the cowl and habit of a Capuchin monk, and set up as itinerant confessor among the gold diggers of Spanish origin in the aide valleys of the Rio Sacramento, la's bl-,ck beard, and his familiarity with the Spanish language, beieg excellent qualifications far the office. There was plenty of work for a confessor amorg the gold diggers, so that he had vite a rush among the class of penitents, and he was liberal of absolution, though rather strict about the fees of his holy office, and would only receive them in gold. Ti.i3 doOge was at the time new, and therefure extremely profitable; but it was afterwards spoilt by competition.—Sherzer's Trace 7 s in Central America. OPERATION ON AN ELErtrANT.—DJring the late visit to Hull of Wombwell':, menagerie, the elephant " Chubby" underwent an op4ration which deserves a place amongst surgical records. For twelve or fifteen months previously, a tumour had been gathering on Chubby's off-side thigh. Chubby sickened, lost bis appetite, and pined away. Many ways were tried in vain to remove the tumour, until, as, a last resource, application was made to a Liull veterinary surgeon, Mr. Tom B. Hyde, jun. Mr. Hyde resolved to use the lancet. The operation lasted two hours, Chubby undergoing it with fortitude. The tumour, when removed, weighed five pounds, and one of the fangs had to b e se arched out with the knife, for a foot down the thigh. The operation proved eminently enecessful. Every fresh bulletin annourced his improving, health, till the later end of November, when Mr. Hyde pronounced his patient thoroughly restored, and capable of returning to business. Chubby at once took the train to join his friends, Messrs. Wombwell and Co., and when we last heard of him, Vs lappetite and good looks were the theme of gqueral iidr,.tra tion,—Eastern Cot(nties Herald. THEATRE ROYAL-THE NEW PANTOMIME. On Saturday night the reign of the new Pantomime began in the;Theatre Royal, Considering the unusually large number of rival attractions displaying themselves in all the public halls of amusement throughout the town, the attendance was probably greater than might have been expected. The performances of the night opened with the comedy of " Delicate Ground," in which Mr. Villiers sustained, with appropriate ease and nonchalance, the part of Citizen Sangfroid, a character which Charles Mathews hss made remarkable, and which, in this instance, lost but little of its effect in the hands of Mr. Villiers. The pantomime commenced about eight o'clock, when the expectation and anxiety of the younger specta tors, who crowded the front of the boxes and pit, were reaching their climax. We have already briefly described in outline the plot of the pantomime; and we hope few of our readers have so completely forgotten the legend of " Puss i❑ Boots " as to render any revival of it needful, although we perceive that Otto Spekter's pictorial version of it forms one of our new Christmas books. The scene upon which the curtain rises, the Den of Discontent, where Geumbitina (Mrs. Walton), with her ill-humoured con clave, isencountered by the Fairy Thankful (Miss Oliver), is well got up,, with appropriate gloom and horrifying grimness. A pretty landscape of the mill and distant country follows, in which we ara introduced to Ralph, the miller's son (admirably performed by Mrs. Power), ffho receives, with the contentment of true filial piety, the Bole legacy his father has left him—his Cat. Of the Cat, the famous Puss in Boots, performed by Master S. Lauri, we must say some few words, at least, of the commendation which the realisation of so highly-import ant a personage in the drama deserves. The young artist entered, vs it were, into the very dep'hs of the feline nature, created for himself the abstract idea of the animal Cat, and then constructed its outward presentation with a ♦ery pre-Raphaelite exactness. It very well brought out the scene which followed in the palace of the King (Mr. Appleby), where the miller's son, now arrayed as the Marquis of Carabas, is presented to his majesty, and falls at the first glance in love with the Princess (Miss Edwards), who, it need not be added, returns his ardour with a passion equally sudden. One of the prettiest and most graceful incidents in the pantomime is the Dance of Reapers, which shortly after succeeds, and which, for its scenic background, as well as the performances of the dancers, presents an object of attraction such as no piece we have ever seen excels. Passing over the scene in the Ogre's Castle, where the Ogre (Mr. Rignold) is duped and devoured in the shape of a mouse by the ever wide-awake Cat, the transformation scene, where the Fairy Thankful comes in to cut the entangled knot of embarassments, is as gorgeous a display of lights and colours as ever drew an involuntary burst of app!ause from a Christmas assemblage. Then, the climax is, as it were, inverted, and becomes a new starting point. Instead of Ralph and the Princess Grumbleina, and the King, we have Ilarle (Signor J. Lauri) ; Ce!umbine, (Miss . Lauri) ; Mien, (Signor C. Lauri), and Pantaloon, (Mr. Power.) We have never seen the fun of the pantomime kept up in more lively and incessant fashion than in the mad succession of humours which follows. Perhaps a greater number of scenes and hits of a peculiarly local character would have rendered this portion of the piece more effective, but there was nothing slow, heavy, or dragging. One or two local scenes, such as that spot very familiar to all frequenters of the Theatr e Royal, in which one entrance of St. George's Hall, the back of St. John's market, and portion of Q teen's-square, are principal objects, were recognised with much amuse ment and applause. The most effective, however, of the local passages was the Rivington water scene, in which the Clown subjects that questionable liquid to a series of chemical tests, the result of which, after all man ner of tadpoles, frogs, and other reptiles of an amazing size have emerged from the dark depths of the field, is a sentence of public condemnation, which we are bound to say, the universal acclamation of the house seemed emphatically to ratify. The pantomimic closed with a splendid tableau, representing the Lotus Lake of the fairies, and an allegorical group, typifying the 'pro tection of England to the oppressed and helpless, and her vengeance upon Indian ferocity and cruelty. Many of the allusions and hits in this latter part of the pantomime are not remarkable for freshness or novelty, and perhaps the libretto, generally, has less force and point than that of several of its predecessorA. But, so far as the resources of the Theatre Royal were concerned, we have never seen a more effective pantomime. The performers wore excellent, and, making allowance for some of the inevitable obstructions and imperfections of a first night, the mechanical opera tions were ;rapid and successful. The scenery designed _ _ and painted by Mr. R. Dearloye, jun., and Mr. G. Dawson, was as splendid as any theatre could exhibit. The masks and other properties got up by Mr. Bromley, were peculiarly effective. The machinery was managed by Mr. Cawdrey. On the whole we feel bound to pro. rrounce the pantomime a successful one, and especially successful in those characteristics of scenery and effect which are the points most likely to be criticised, and most needful to secure the approbation of the spectators. THE AMPHITHEATRE, The excellence of the Equestrian Company now per forming in this popular place of amusement, drew a crowded house on Saturday night, and indeed, it would be strange if, on " boxing night," and with such a coo. pany, the Amphitheatre presented an array of empty benches. The reputation of Mr. Cook's troupe is more than European, and their present performances are in no degree inferior to the performances at Astley s, which are unrivalled in their character. We have never witnessed more daring and graceful horsemanship than that dis. played by the several performers, male and female, on Saturday night, while the " globe exercises " of the Brothers Hutchinson were almost marvellous in the facility with which they executed their feats. The " Grand Entree," by eight ladies and gentlemen of the company, displayed, in an eminent degree, the graceful horsemanship of the riders, and the .perfect training of the stud. The appointments were faultless, and the com binations pleasing and attractive. It is almost impossible now a.days to say anything new of equestrian re:3rform ancefs, audiNith that difficulty befine us, we shalt coateht ROYAL COLOSSEUM, PARADISE-STREET. This "National Palace of cheap and goon amusement," as Mr. Heath, not inaptly terms it, was filled to ever towing ;on " boxing night," but there was no boxing although so full—everything was orderly and respectable. The proprietor has made extensive arrangements for the production of new matters for the holidays, for he announces the " Tittlebat Family," (eight in ;umber), who:abound in wit, humour, eccentricity, elasticity, and electricity. Spanish ministrels, and other celebrities. The performance of the fine trained troupe of dogs, monkeys, &c. in that line, cannot be surpassed. There is a first-rate class of vocalists attached to this house, and as the present week is the last of Mr. Wood and his son, those who miss seeing them lose a great treat. LONDON KNOWLEDGE OF LIVERPOOL FINE ARTS. We last week gave a n extract from the London Atheneum, manifesting an extraprdinary amount of ignorance on the part of the conductors of that journal of tke Fine Arts, upon the essential matters with which it professes a connection. It hes returned to the charge, and committed itself still farther with respect to the Fin e Arts in Liverpool. Having received letters from Mr. Herdsnan and Mr. Pelham, among others, it says : Before giv:ng these letters to the reader, wa may very usefully c/11 attention to the circumstance, that the dissatisfaction has p.ssed beyond the newspaper and the club into regions rarely trtNb!ed by discords of foreign growth. The several Learned Soc;eties of which Liverpool is the active centre, has! tai - en the very usual step of discussing and condemning t management of the Academy. The Arclueolog.cal Society led the way with a vote of cen The Literary and Philosop ical Society have busied themselves with tie question, at the instance of Dr. Thomson and Prof. Archer. Mr Boult has brought the suhjec: before the Liverpool Architectural Society. Such facts weigh heavily agatnst the Academy. The blunders and mis—statements comprised in the passage we have put into italics are ludicrous in the extreme. " The several learned Sacieties of which Liverpool is the active centre " (whatever th it may mean), have not " taken the very usual (query gen isual) step of discussing and condemning the management of the Academy." "Tne Archm )logical Society" did not lead "the way wi h a vote of censure." The Literary and Philoso phical did not " busy themselves with the discussion," but powponed it upon the polite pretext that they had not - - time. Dr. Thomson and Mr. Archer alone stirred in that society ; and Mr. Boult brought his resolution before the Liverpool Architectural Society, which is identical with the Arcbiu'logical above named, an] which not only did not vote a " censure," but refused to entertain Mr. Boult's resolution by a majority of 18 votes to 6, " Such facts do not " weigh heavily against the Academy, but such mia-statements and blunders do weigh heavily against the Atheneum," and fully justify Mr. Frank Howard's chsrge against the Athencruhb of writing " nonsence" en the subject, in spite of Mr. Boult's comment in a local cotem porkry, under the head of " Odd Though's on Sayings and Doings of the Liverpool Architectural Society," which, in stead of being signed " Eye aid Ear," should have b-en signed "I. Molt." It may help the public to a better appreciation of this discussion, if we say that the writer against the Academy, under the name of " Fides," is Mr. Samuel Huggins, who presided at the Architectural Society when Mr. Boult brought forward his dog-in-the-manger resolutions to deprive the Academy of the use of the rooms in which the exhibition is given. The self-satisfied conclusion of the •article in the Athenceum mi;ht have been written by Mr. Boult himself, so indifferent is it to having its statements contradictel— Mr. Pelham, as will have been seen, corrects one unimportant (!) error in our statement, namely, that the Liverpool Academy has acquired for the town—as well us owned fo: the town—certain pic tures, an error which Mr. Millais also empowers us to correct so far as he is cincern , ll. But all the essential facts of oar statement st , ind as het rtocontradicted. These facts remain, or appear to remat, after this explanation : —l. That the conductors of the Liverpool Academy have gone over to the Pre-Raphaelite heresy. 2. That by doing so they have dissatisfied the artists and the pnblie. 3. ''hat, neverthe less, they have continued to expend public money in fosterin , - a sec tarian heresy condemned by all true judges. 4. That the Annual Exhibition has fallen off in interest and attraction. 5. That di.tensian exists within the Academy, which has led to public protcst and repu diation. 6. That the viieral feeling in the town has been RO far offended as to provoke and justify rebuke from the Learned Societies. The last statement, as has been shown, is utterly untrue against the first. The conductors of the Liverpool Academy might plead, in justification, Mr. Ruskin's authority, lauded by all the London press, and the ex ample of the London Royal Academy, in giving pre- Raphaelite pictures prominent situations. They might also plead the praise of these pictures bestowed by Lon don papers, and the high prices paid for them by certain collectors. They might aiso demur to the judgment of the press, or the public, or the learned societies, on pic tures, being considered better than that of the m iority of a body of painters who at one moment are charged with judging by conventional rules, and in the next, as ire the present instancs, are attacked for violating cmoventional roles in their recent judgments. They may also fairly deny expending public money, or having anything to do with it. They have the use of certain rooms, rent free, to provide an exhibition La. the Liverp iol pubic, which they do, and in aid of that osoject give a prize of £5O of their own money to attract competitors. Whether they give the prizes to the best or the worst pictures, iv, of course, open to criticism ; but neither Architectural, nor Archaeological. nor Literary, nor Philosophical Societies are qualified to lay down a law thereon, nor would they be justified in interfering, eve❑ if they coul I prove their qualifioation. The Illustrafed London News states that the diaries o the late Mr. Croker ere vary nuinerour, " full of mysteries of state, and matters of moment in politics and literature." When the public is likely to see any pertion of these memoirs left in MS., Mr. Crokei's executors have not yet decided. The Zeit of Berlin haspublished the arrangements decided on relative to the journey home of Prince Frederick William of Prussia and the Princess Royal of England after their marriage.

They will sleep on the 4th at Cologne, on the sth at Magdeburg, and will reach Potsdam on the 6th. Taey will stay at Hano►er a few hours.

The points of resemblance between Yoang hod Loyola, as developed in their respective systems, are acre shown. Each adopted a secret form for the guidance and control of his followers, as has been adopted by diffe rent political and religious holies, bat never has this form been so prostituted as with the Jesait and the Mormon. The " mysteries of Mormonism," through which the novice was conducted, were then revealed. l'hoy consist of ceremonies at once awful and absurd. The neophyte is conducted into a room, and stripped naked, and a name is whispered in his ear, which he is to remember at the peril of his salvation. In another room he is clothed with a robe which makes him look half like a Beahm'n, and half like a Jewish priest. In an adjoining room a dramatic blasphemy goes on. G 'el is personated. The incidents of Genesis—the creation, the garden of Eden, the appearance of Satan, Sec., are represented. The initiated then per forms the circuit of four other rooms, covenantng and vowing as he goes. In one he swears to chastity, in another polygamy is accorded with the sanclon of Brigham Young, in the third a t rrible adjuration to secrecy is administered, the awful preparation for the fourth, where, amidst horrible surroundings, the initiate is sworn to eternal enmity to the United States of North America ! This is the •' Mormon endowment," through which 50,000 of our fellow•croatures have passed. All that I hold most dear o❑ earth still cling to this rar a: horrible system. My wife and child remain at salt Lake, My wire has been forced, by her devotion, to them things—to forego even her heart's own yearnings, aid utter prayers which shape them , selves into curses. Some of you (continued the speaker) may have come here to gratify nn idle curiosity. Ido not ' come here to pander to a prurient taste, but to teach you what Mormonism is.—Ztettre by 4 Conterted Mormon l Elder ADELPHI THEATRE. The pantomime here was produced on Saturday even ing, and is founded on the old German legend " Undine," the Spirit of the Waters, or Harlequin and Albert the Reckless. The local scenery is good and faithful ; the tricks and transformations were ably managed, and although it was the first night, the machinery worked very well and smooth. The dialogue is smart, and we are glad to add, devoid of vulgarity. There is an amount of good fun in the whole, and the dancing of Miss L. Sennett, as columbine, and Mr. J. Campbell, as harleqain, together with the other members of the house, was remarkably good. Altogether the piece will most likely have a run and we promise the public a hearty laugh. The scenery: by Mr. Bickerstaff, is of a superior description, and the paintings, by Mr. Matthews, are ably executed, and recognizable at once. PEOPLE'S SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS. ST. GEORGE'S HALL. Ever great supporters and admirers of all amusements tending to refine and enlighten fellow man, we have always been strong upholders of the Saturday Evening Concerts at St. George's Hall. Not that other places are less de• serving of public support, but simply because it is incom parably the finest hall of which England can boast, and, therefore, most properly adapted to the uses and require_ eaents of all classes. Whether it was the effect of the holiday time. or whether the amusements provided for the evening were of a " more taking '' description, we know not, but on Saturday evening last one of the most numer ous audiences we have ever seen, gathered within the walls, the attractions being the Brou-dl Family, viz., Md'lle Ante_ nia, piano -forte ; Md'lle Bertha, solo violin; Md'lle Cecilie, second violin; HerrAlbin, violoncello ; Herr Adolphe, vio lagatuba ; and Herr Aloys, first violin. IQ addition to this talented family there was Miss H. Bensal, and a new tenor, Mr. A. Mann, a young gentleman who made his first appearance in Liverpool a short time since, and by I a whoin most pleasing effect was created. On a night when, perhaps, the audience were more enthusiastic than critical, it is needless togive a resume of the performances, and we shall, therefore, refer only to one or two pieces, at the same time observing that all and every one gave the highest satisfaction, if we may judge from the amount of applause bestowed. A Fantasia, by Huser—" The Bird on the Tree "—was the most beautiful piece of instrumen tation possible to conceive, and the imitations of the various birds, supposed to be chirping and hopping about on the green boughs, was admirably executed by Miss Bertha ; indeed, the entire piece was most enthusiastically received, and vigorously encored. The " Reggimento " Fantasia, " Carnival deVenise," and a " Scotch Quartett,'' were all performed in first rate style. But, perhaps, the grandest performance of the evening was the selection— "ln Native Worth"—from Haydn's Oratorio of the " Creation." In choosing this piece for a debut in St. George's Hall, Mr. Mann evidently knew the many admirers he would be sure to have in a Liverpool audience, more particularly as he would be assisted by the taste and skill of Mr. W. T. Best on the grand organ. Mr. Mann's rendering of "In Native Worth," was a complete triumph, to one who has but jest come among us. The beautiful gradations of light and shade, With beauty, courage, strength adorn'', ' was all that the most critical, could l :deslrei and in the latter portion— • With fondness leans upon his breast, The partner foe him fam'd, A woman, fair and graceful spouse— The 'excellence of ennanciation, deep pathos, and fine musical taste, proved to a demonstration that long study had been productive of almost perfect excellence- At the same time we may observe, that there was evidently great exertion put forth by this gentleman, which we fear may early have an injurious effect:upon his voice. A universal encore was only what was richly deserved for so able a performance. Mr. W. T. Best's new " Christmas Piece" of Popular English Airs, was a fitting tribate to the season, and performed with all the excellencies for which that gentleman is so well known. Miss H. Beusal is a pretty singer, and upon the whole acquitted herself to the full satisfaction of tho audience ; at the same time we cannot help remarking the studious avoidance of the present management to the " bringing out " of our local female artistes, many of whom, we doubt not, would be warmly welcomed at these " People's Concerts." In conclusion, we would commend these entertainments to the support of the public generally, not only as a rational evening's amusement, but for the credit of the " good old own." BOSCO.-QUEEN'S H&LL, BOLD-STREET. On Saturday evening this house was very fashionably filled, for, although it was "boxing night," and so many attractions through town, yet the Signor's magnetism prevailed, and quite a grand audience (as well as full) attended. We have spoken already in detail as to the wonderful abilities of Signor Bose., but on Saturday evening he produced some new fetes of a character so astounding, that it may be truly said that the very " old gentleman in black" could hardly de more I We have read in one of the London papers a great fete performed by a Garman, who extracts a quantity of tin goblets from a hat, taken from some person in the room —why Bosco, on Saturday night, not only took some hun dreds out of a 'hat, but he also extracted plumb pudding, oranges,'. watches, live birds, and other things, and wound up by drawing out a fine fat goose Under ordinary circumstances, 20 hats would not contain what he took out of ono before his audience. The most wonderful thing we ever saw was done with a gentleman's watch. The gentleman is very well known, so that he was no confederate. He asked him on to the stage, gave him a large gun, into which the watch was put, and the gentleman discharge' it. There was a policeman on duty at the door, and the Signor told him he had got the gen tleman's watch in hii pocket. The officer declared he had not, but oh, horrible—he had it, and handed it up to the gentleman amid a tempest of applause. We asked the policeman if he were connected with this extraordinary operation, and he declared he knew not, nor dare he be connected with it. The stage of this castle of enchant ment is the handsomest thing of the kind in England. HEMMER'S CIRCUS. The past week has been one of much success at the Cirque, and, from the amount of the novelties prepared for the holidays, and the splendour with which the per formance is represented, it is not unreasonable to expect that the public will enjoy the greatest treat in its peculiar line ever offered in Liverpool. The rendering of the favourite nursery tale of " Jack the Giant Killer is excellent, and affords pleasure and amusement to old and young. And as this is the season when boys and girls are emancipated from school, and enjoy all 'good things, we can promise them a treat richer than plum pudding at the circus. On Saturday evening the house was crowded, indeed this is the rule, and the audience gave expression to their delight in loud plaudits. Wallett, as is his wont, was unrivalled, and although he kept the house in a roar, it was by the genuine excellence of his wit, devoid of the vulgar ero,-t .so frequently resorted to. We were glad to find that Mr. Francis, who fills his department with such .singular satisfaction to;.all.who _haul business to transact ;with THE MUTINY IN THE RIVER. Oa Saturday, at two o'clock, the crew of the American passenger ship J. J. Boyd, then lying in the river, and who were arrested on a charge of mutiny. were brought up before Messrs. William Rathbone and William Eat-le, in the County Magistrates' Court. The eeemen arrested were twenty-seven in number. Mr. Goodere appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Cobb defended several of the prisoners. The American Conseil was in attendance Although the seamen were arrested on a charge of mutiny, yet, as the vessel had to sail that day, it was thought necessary ouly to proceed with a charge of assault, which could be summarily dealt with. It was proved by the evidence of the first end second mate, the boatswain, and one of the passengers, that the men had all mustered on the quarter deck armed with knives. handspikes, belaying pins and other weapons, and that on being remonstrated with, John Chapman, one of the prisoners, struck the mate a , blow with a belaying pin on the bead. A seaman, named Joseph S Bence, threatened the second mate with £' knife. A passenger deposed that he heard a seaman named Neel M‘Pherson tell the other men not to strike the second mate, or boeteerain, bute at the same time, told them that if there was to be fighring he would take his share. The witnets stated that he also heard this man say, that on a previous day that the meat they got was horse, and that when they got to sea they would have things their own way. Evidence was also offered against a seaman named David Carr, but it did not appear to the magistrates sufficient to include him in he assault. It was stated that six of the passengers had to form a guard round the second mate's cabin for his protection, The alleged causes of the disturbance were the quality of the food, and the fact of a man having been put in irons, whom the mate refused to release while the captain was on shore. No evidence was given to inclu to any of the other men in the actual assault, although they were stated to have come on the quarter-deck in a body. armed as we have mentioned. When the evidence had concluded, Mr. Rathbone said the court were of opinion that the charge of assault had been proved against two men, Tohn , Chapman and Joseph Bence, en whom a flue weal :I be inflicted of £5 each, or two months' imprisonment It was evident to the court that the rest of the men had behaved exceedingly ill, and, very probably, if the case had gone before another court, the whole of the twenty-seven would have been confined for three or four months, There evidently had been the beginning of a mutny, which was in sailors a very grievous offence, such as the English law, and he hoped the American law too, would visit with condign punishment. The other men, except the two he had mentions,', Must be discharged. They would all go with a very bad character from that port, and he hoped if they out another ship they would take care to avoid such conduct for the future. The twenty.five seamen not convicted of the assault were then discharged. The men for whom Mr. Cobb appeared were among the number. MUTINY ON BOARD A. BELFAST VESSEL. On Wednesday the ship Allen Kerr, of Belfast, Captain Winter bound from Ardross in to Norfolk, Virginia, United states, pat into this port, the crew t eing in a state of mutiny. Tao ship left Ardros san on the 27th ult., and had proceeded to sea a considerable distance, when the crew refused to pr reed f urther on the voyage. We hare learned from her owner, Mr. James Barnett, that the se tmen had been paid as usual, in monthly advance notes, and that the vessel had not proceeded far to sea when signs of mutiay were evideue -d among the crew—indeed, some of them, it appears, entered her with the detirminat' on of not proceeding on the voyage. We conye:sed with some of the seamen last night in the police-office, and the most intelligent among them stated that the Allan Kerr is lOoiat 23 }ea's' old. All the man oa board bel:eved her hull to be sound but when she was nine days at sea they found her rigging and pumps got into su..-11 a state as rendered her completely unseaworthy. Al the " fore.:astle hands," in this state of thiuga, passed aft, and told Captain winter that th y would not proceed on the voyage, but that they would " work" the ship int ) the ne crest British port Captain Winter asked them if they were mad ? to whleh they replied that they would not proceed further :on the voyage. The 'course of the vessel was immeli -itely altered, and on arriving in Belrast. yesterday the seamen were given into custody. The case w ill be investigated at the police court to-day.—Narthern Whig. APPREHENSION OF MR. E. A. GLOVER, LATE M.P. FOR BEVERLEY. Mr. Lewis, jun., of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, attended before Mr. Henry, at the Bow-st eat police-court, on Satnriay, to tender ball on b,half of Mr. Edward Anchmuty Glover, late !number for Beverley, a prisoner in Newga' e. It will b 3 rem,mbered that during last session of par lament Mr. Glover was nose Lied by the decision of a committee of the House of Commons on the ground that he had not the legal qualification, an I the committee then rec mmended that proceedings should be taken agai ,st him for having made a false declaration touching his qualiticatlon, an offence watch the law visits with the pains and penalties of perjury. An indict cent arms accord ingly prepared at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and a warrant was Issued under the hand and seal of Mr. Justice Cole edge, on the 17th instant. On that warrmt Mr. Glover • WAS appre hended, on the 73rd, by inspector Bray, of the A division, who found him at 30. Coleshill-street, Pimlico, and was committed to Nowgate by Mr. Jnstize Wightman, who fixed the amount of bail, ordering fifty-eight hturs' notice. It was thus impossible for Mr. Glover to be liberated till th s day ,Sattsr lay), as the stipulated tells of notice, if given immediately, would have expired on Christmas Day. Accordingly Mr. Glover was compelled to spend that day in prison. The bail tendered were Mr. Charles Harcourt, of Great George street. Westminster, solicitor ; and Miss Margaret Grace Toker, of "The Oaks," Ospringe, Faversham. Kent, and 39, Wilton crescent, Ftelgrave-square, described as asp nster. The bail having been approved, Mr, Giover was sent -or to Newgate and in a very short time arrived and was brought into court. He was then bound over in hie own recognizences for £5OO and his two sureties in ad'2so for his appearance at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. With the exception of stating his a ;dress t be " 39, Wilton crescent," Mr. Glover d'd not utter a word while in court. To the question if he w s ' cont-nt to be so bound" ha replie 1 by a slight inclination of the head. The recognixances 'haring been mtcle oat, Mr. Glover was sat at liberty, and left tke court with his friends. THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION. The contest in Backinghameii:e was brought to an end on Satur day, by the return of the Hon. W. Cavendish, wince majority over Mr. Charles Hamilton was decisive, when we consider that tae two ot , ,er seats for the county are occupied by Tory me abet's, Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Dupre. The fashion has been t, allow the Tories two seats at a general e'ection, and the Liberals ono seat. This rule was observed at the last general election. At that tma the Liberals thought of bringing out a second c nndidato in the person of Mr. Wentworth, a genthrnan of large fortune an l good connections in the county. It was understoo I, howes,e-, that Lord Carrington, one of the largest liberal vroprietors, and Baron Roth,ch'ld, veers opposed to toe movement—theiorm,, it was al!eared with a view to bring forward his son at a future time, and the Banal being disin c!ined to subject Mr. Disraeli to th cost and l'ate ible of a contest. The Tories, however, were not content with things as they were, lint thought they would steal a march at a single election. They haves trial their strength, a id they are beaten—not in t to district of the " Upper Thames," rs Mr. Disra li wi 1 call it, but in the real old county of Buck.. We are very much miotsken if this is not a "notice to quit" to Mr. Dupre. The " Con , e.rvatives" have brought it all upon themselves, and for the future they must be content with one !-eat—out of the titres—and that only becau%e it is filled by their most distinguished man. We confess we are amongst those who look upon Mr. Disraeli as one of the notabilities of England, and in the eminent position which he has reached by his own genius he has always acted as a gentleman and a scholar. The numbers, as made op on Saturday night were:—Cavendish, 1,617 ; Hamilton, 1,456 ; majority, 161. _ _ TRIAL FOR POISONING AT GLASGOW. At the Glasgow winter circuit, on Taos 1-iy, Wednesday, and Ti.ursday, the court was occupied with the trial of John Thomson, alias Peter Walker. wile was charged with the murder, by poisonin 2," with prassic acid, of a woman named Agues Montgomery, residing at Eglesh am, and with attempts to polson„hy prussic acid, Arch. Mason and his wife Agnes Mason. The case for the cro en occupied more than two days. the witneneebeing very numerous ; btr. no evidence was called for the defence. After a quarter of nu Lcur's consideration, the jury returned a verdict finding the prisoner guilly of the first charge in the i,dictment, the murder of Agnes Montgomery. The Lord Chief Justice Clerk then sentenced tho prisoner is death, directing him to re ezecutei at Paisley on the iStirof January n , •xt, and warning him to expect no commutation of the sentence. The prisoner was on Intimate terms with the murdered woman ; and the cause which induced him to commit the crime, seems somewhat obscure. The Masons, whom he was alleged to have attempt° Ito poison, were the occupiers of the house in which he lodged.
