The curtain then roue on Oxenford's serio-coraic
drama in two acts "The Porter's Knot," of which the
following was tho cast :—Samson Burr Mr. H. S.
Yroet; Augustus Burr, Mr. W. J. Duvien ; Stephen
Scatter, Mr. J. E. Braithwaite 'Captain thakum,
Mr. S. Cox; Mr. Saloothey Smirk, Mr. T. Pounce..
Pilot (with song), Mr. L. Robinson ; Bob, Mr. EL:
Robinson; Mrs. Barr, Mrs. Mathias ; Alice, Mrs.
Legg. The incidents of this touching little drama
were followed with the keeneet interest by the
audience. Scene I. displays a neat little cottage
occupied by the erhilont porter, Samson Burr, who
has made his f Kane by hard toil and re head into
comfortable (Meow, with his partner dilly. The
worthy c .nole are bleessi with • scapegrace of • eon,
whom they have sent to London to learn
medicine, but who during hls sojourn in
the m.tdriwn Babylon become* indebted to •
Mr. Smoothest Smirk (a bit ad • Jew) to the tune of
£2,000. lie ham been dragged or ensnared into this
plight by the example of • boon compani on, Stephen
Scatter. Haviug gained his diploma, Anodes Burr
returns to hie home with the miserable weight on his
mind, whiz a he trios by feigned oheerf aloes. to conceal
from his pareata and his COUlin Alice, to whom he is
betrothed. The secret, however, in discovered in •
manner little expected hy the young debtor. Smoothey
Smirk vi.ite the ol I man, and horrifies him with the
announcement that he hal his son's acceptances for
the amout.t. T., save his son from arrest, he promises
to pay t e money, even though refunding vvlch • ram
meant ruin. Crashed with t weight .of his misery,
he c one ii. the wr..ng fr..,g2 the fowl mother. and by •
subtaf oge ship* his precious linn off to Au.tralla on a
VOS•lIl captained by an old friend. A touching incident
is discloesi whe Some-in acquaints his wife of the
fain that he is penniless not owing to his son's
reekleseriesa, hut to hie own I as, through specula
dons. The second scene I. the outside .4 an hotel.
where "iamsen is seen once more plying his old
calling of the porter, and this scene also witness**
the fall ..f the . 1.. g ant Scltter, who lias played
an inatoort ant tont t th r. uugh .ut, t the position
of a railway offi +al. Th., play is full of merest,

when h' is honoured by the ship awn re for his
gallantry dairat a Meister at sea, by being made •
partner. The piece ends pleasantly, with happiness
for the old people as well as the young. Of the
characters, we may briefly say, Mr. IL Frost, as the
port,* „zee° an admirable impersonation of this
difficult part. and he was frequently applauded. Mr.
T. Poudcy's makaup en the wily Smirk was
exoellent, cud he appeared t' have • thorough
appreciation 4 the era .oth-tongued money-lender's
character. Mr. J. E. Braithwaite gave • manly
repreaentation of the gay Scatter, w`.o turns out not •
bad fellow at heart after all. Mr. W. J. Darden played
the part if the son with his tumid ability, and Mr. S.
