MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, during the past week, such ama-
teurs of well-represented dramatic pieces of mere amusement
as chose to attend, had ample opportunity of gratification in
the performances of M. Levassor and his able assistants, who
represented a series of comic dramas, and cleverly enacted
parodies on pieces of established reputation. M. Levassor
is an actor of great and versatile talent, which has been culti-
vated with praiseworthy and successful assiduity. In several
of the pieces he sustained more characters than one, and de-
lighted his audience with the rapidity of his changes, and the
entire vraisemblance of his impersonations. His style is
polished, graceful, and easy, and the quiet simplicity of his
really earnest deportment takes his representations almost out
of the range of histrionic effort, and places his appearance more
on a par with the refined suavity of elevated socsociallife. In dis-
playing the characteristics of a man of breeding and refine;
ment, he exhibits the steady equipoise of manner observable in
the educated gentleman—he is at once firm and unobtrusive—
easy, without being familiar—dignified without hauteur. As
a comic actor, he was scarcely, if at all, less successful: now
displaying bursts of fun, and anon giving effect to a stream of
quiet, gentle, and refined humour of the most fascinating order.
In Mad'lle. Zupire, he had an able and judicious aide. This
lady is an admirable specimen of the accomplished French
comedienne. Always self-possessed and graceful, she treads
the stage as she would the floor of a drawing-room, and while
never losing sight of the actress, she, in every phase of her
performance, keeps the lady present to the eye of the specta-
tor. She sings, too, with much taste and expression, and adds
the charm of a refined ease of deportment to a handsome figure,
and a countenance full of characteristic emotion. Md'lle.
Pascal and Mons. Vezian further contributed by their talents
and the quiet exercise of their varied skill to enhance the
value of these beautiful performances.—At this theatre it will
be perceived Mr. Charles Matthews commences an engage-
ment for six nights on Monday next.
AT THE ROYAL AIarEXTREITIZE the performances
have been graced by the appearance of a debutante, in the
person of Miss Blanche Fane, who, along with the accom-
plished comedian, Mr. Ranger, has been playing in a round of
favourite English comedies. This young lady is about to
make her curtsey on the boards of the Haymarket, prepara-
tory to which she has taken a brief engagement here. In
person she is rather petite, although well formed and of an
easy carriage; her countenance is pleasing, and finely suscep-
tible of varied expression. In stage deportment she is natural
and easy, and is possessed of a lively play of features. In
several of the characters which she has enacted, she has dis-
played a good—indeed an excellent appreciation of the part
alloted to her, and has been gay and sportive without an
effort—sedate and thoughtful without being heavily didactic.
As Lady Teazle, in the "School for Scandal," which she
played on Wednesday, and repeated on Friday, she exhibited
a great deal of right feeling, and gave an excellent repre-
sentation of the giddy thoughtlessness and inconsiderate
vivacity of impulsive emotion. The 'Arta Sir Peter was ad-
mirably sustained by Mr. Ranger, and most of the other •cha-
racters were respectably filled up. The Lady Sneertnell of
Mrs. J. Walton would have lost nothing of its interest or effi-
ciency if she had had time to render herself moderately
familiar With the dialogue. As 'Charles Suefil4e,
Loraine appeared to rather more advantage than usual.
ITALIAN OPERAS IN LIVERPOOL..--It is rumoured that
arrangements have been made fora series of Italian operatic
performances in this town, to take place in the course of the
ensuing autumn, which, for completeness and efficiency, will
surpass any previously witnessed in Liverpool, .and be little
inferior to those given in the metropolis. The 'principal ar-
tistes of the Royal Italian Opera are it is-said engaged, includ-
ing -Gardini and Tamberlik as tenor, Taglialco, &c., bassi,
Boil°, Garcia, Rudersdorf, Itidibe, &c., an prime donne. The
chorus and band will also be complete, and the properties and
dresses the same as at Covent-garden. 'The operas to be given
will, we believe, consist of several new to the Liverpool public,
ircluding Verdi's chef d'teuvre " Il Trovatore," which has
been so successful in London this season.

NEXT session of Parliament, it is said, a bill will be intro-
duced making Liverpool and Birkenhead one municipality.
THE CIVIL SERVICE IN LIVERPOOL: APPOINTMENM—
Mr. Hugh Campbell has been appointed an extra weighar in
the Customs department of this port. In the Inland Revenue
department, Mr. John',Dodd, Excise-officer, has been appointed
to Holywell Third Ride, North Wales Collection.
AnoUT three months ago a gentleman sent a diamond breast-
pin to Mr. Charles Wells, jeweller, Bold-street, to be repaired,
and on being returned it was found that paste had been sub-
stituted for the diamond. The man who had repaired the pin
absconded, and no trace'of the missing diamond was discovered
until last week, when it was- taken to Mr. Wells' shop by a
young woman, Who offered it for sale. She was given into
custody, and has been remanded until the police can make in-
quiries.
SHORT TIMR TN MlLLs.—The meetings convened in Pres-
ton last week and the preceding week, to consider the pro-
priety of working short time' in cotton factories, were not
attended by many millowners, -there being a general feeling
that in such a ,question each manufacturer should be left to
act as his inclination or interest led him, rather than, join in
any combination. We' learn,' however, 'that the state of the
trade is such that it is not improbable that several mills will
soon run four days a week, there being a general impresiion
that such a -course can alone effect any beneficial change
either in the 'Liverpool or Manchester markets.—Preston
Chronicle.
DEPARTURE OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.—To-morrow •the
Royal Mail padket clipper ship Shalimar, belonging to Messrs.
Pilkington and Wilson's-celebrated " White' Star" Line, Will
go into the river, and she li-111, without fail, sail on Friday
next, the 20th inst. She has already on board nearly all her
cargo, and she will carry • out about 320 passengers. Her
mails will close in London on ' Thursday evening ; but in
Liverpool letters will be reeeived,•with late fees, to within an
hour or two of the vessel's -sailing. The Conway, belonging
to the " Black Ball" Line; sailed on Thursday last, for Hobart
Town, with a full-cargo•and a large compliment of passengers.
The Biobio, belonging to ,the same company, will probably
sail this week for Sydney. The James Baines is the next mail-
packet after the Shalimar,,for Melbourne, on the sth August.
The Bomeram, with the Australian mails, is expected in about
a week from Melbourne. Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and ,Co.,
have their clipper ship --Albatross on the berth for Melbourne.
Messrs. Pilkington and ,Wilson are in hourly expectation of
the arrival of the Red !Jacket.
WAR MOVEMENTS A.T 'anis PORT.—The South American
and General Steam Navigation Company's screw-steamer
Imperatriz, 1,800 tons, Captain Cox, arrived in the Mersey
on Wednesday night, from 'Portsmouth, at which port -ale
landed invalids from the seat of war. She is in the Sandou
Graving Dock, getting a thorough overhaul. Her horse
fittings have been taken down, and she is being prepared to
receive infantry. 2She will be ready in about a week, when
she will embark the ,66th Foot, consisting of 33 officers and
869 rank and file. The Admiralty troop-steamer Resolute,
Transport No. 214, arrived here on Saturday, to remedy
some slight defects in her new machinery. The Cunard
screw-steamer Emu, Transport No. 74, arrived here -on
Sunday morning, bringing ;Capt. Wickham, 33rd Regiment,
wounded in the Crimea,-the Syrian Archbishop of India, and
a number of dock-yard artificers from the Black Sea. The
steamer City of Aberdeen is hourly expected here from
Portsmouth, to embark detachments of the 2nd Dragoon
Guards and the 11'-th Lancers for the Crimea. Three large
batches of naval volunteers, were sent up to London last week,
and another will be despatched to-night. It is believed that
a trial of Naysmith's large wrought-iron gun will take place
on the North Shore in: a few days.
ONE OF THE GREATESTPLAWIES OF LlFE.—Mary Trainer,
a rather good-looking servant girl, was charged at the Police-
court, yesterday, with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Keegan, of
Upper Canning-street, with whom she had lived about five
weeks. A gentleman who -lodges at the houses said :—That
about half-past five o'clock -a few mornings ago, he heard a
loud ring at the door, but paid •no attention to it. Shortly
after he heard another ding, and in going down stairs he saw
a policeman at the door, -who said that he had noticed the girl
sitting up during the night, and finding the door open he sus-
,pected she had run away, and so he rang the bell. This was
-found to be true, her bed in •the kitchen had not been laid
-upon, and several little things were missing. Inspector Horne
said that he was informed of the robbery, and traced the girl
to:a house in Gascoigne-street, where he found a large box.
She then took him to a shop in Waterloo-road, where he found
a band-box, and at her mother's, in Crosshall-street, he found
another box belonging to her. All these eontained property
stolen from Mrs. Keegan, consisting of a dress, pockethand-
kerchiefs, shoes, boots, gloves, arc. A person from the shop in
Waterloo-road said that the prisoner asked her misses to have
her box there, as she was going to sail for America in a day or
two. The plaintiff did not press the charge, .as the girl had
previously borne a good character, and the latter got off
with two months' imprisonment.
CLEVEIOCAPTURE OF DARING THIEVES.—James Mitchell
and Owen ,Hall, two unmistakeable rogues in appearance, and
Thomas Fow/er, a better-looking man, rather respectably
dressed, were brought up at the Police-court, yesterday.
Detective-officer Povey stated that, in consequence of the
numerous robberies from houses whose occupants are " gone
to market" or out for the summer," he and M'Culloch were
sent out on particular duty on Saturday morning. About
half-past ten o'clock they saw Mitchell and Hall "-dodging"
about a house in Egerton-street, which was robbed that
morning. They were well disguised, and Mitchell was carry-
ing a black stuff bag. After trying both the front and back
doors of that house, they (the officers) saw them go to the
house of the schoolmaster of St. James' Schools, near Parlia-
ment-street, and try that. The officers then posted them-
selves amongst the shrubs of St. James's Mount, whore
they had a distinct view .of the rogues' manceurres. After
seeing enough to satisfy them that there was " something in
the wind," the detectives made a " descent." Povey suc-
ceeded in pouncing upon Hall, but McCulloch had a •chase
after Mitchell through several streets, and the latter was
captured in St. George's-square, by Inspector Murphy, who
happened to be there, as he said "quite promiscuous,"
on other business. Povey took Hall into a publie-house
in Tithebarn-street, and searched him. He found an enor-
mous bunch of skeleton keys, a screw driver, and other
housebreaking implements. One of the keys fits the door of
a house in Windsor-street, robbed last week of about £lOO
worth of property, and the chisel fitted the marks in both the
drawers and wardrobes that had been opened in it. Another
key fitted a house where £4O worth of property was taken
a few days ago ; another the front door of the house of the
schoolmaster already referred to ; and another key fitted the
back door of the house of Captain J. N. Forbes (so well-known
for his Australian voyages), at No. 98, Windsor-street, which
was " marked" to be robbed that night. Detective Carlisle
searched Hall's lodgings, at 14, Lawrence-street, where he
found two more skeleton keys, concealed in a piece of paper, at
the top of a cupboard. At Mitchell's lodgings in Gerard-
street, a gold stud was found, similar to a set stolen from the
house in Egerton-street on Saturday morning. The black
bag which he was carrying, contained a shawl as " a blind,"
in case of an awkward inquiry, One or two female witnesses
were called, who identified both prisoners as persons whom
they had seen lurking about the houses robbed on the day of
the occurrences. Inspector Murphy said that after he had
consigned Mitchell to the Police-office, in Dale-street,
he came out and saw Fowler standing near the door, as
if interested in the fate of the prisoners. He seized
him suddenly, and found in his pockets a gold watch-
case and pawn tickets for two gold watches, probably stolen at
the races, and of which he could give no satisfactory account.
Mr. Bluck, attorney, who appeared for the prisoners, asked
Murphy if he did not know that Fowler was a watchmaker ?
Murphy : Aye, and something more. (Laughter.) He has
stolen watches. Povey produced the " implements" found
upon the pris o ilers. Mr. Bluck : Do you call those skeleton
keys ? Pove : Yes, and very good ones, too. Mr. Bluck :
They are very rusty. Povey : Perhaps, they haven't been
much in practice lately. (Laughter.) Mr. Bluck : And are
they not used by other persons besides the prisoners ? Povey :
No. Whitesmiths use them for a particular purpose some-
times. The prisoners were all remanded, as Inspector Murphy
said he had no doubt he could obtain further evidence.

COMMITTEE ON ADULTERATION OF FOOD.

THE committee appointed by the House of Commons to in-
quire into the subjects of adulterations of food assembled at
one o'clock on Friday, Mr. Scholefield iu the chair.
Dr. Hassell was the first witness called, and he stated the
results of his investigation into almost every article of food,
not one of which escaped adulteration. The substances em-
ployed in the process of adulteration were sawdust, red ferru-
ginous earth, Venetian red, vermillion, Prussian blue, turmeric,
and things of the most filthy and poisonous character. In such
articles as arrowroot, mustard, &c., there was scarcely a particle
of the genuine substance which they pretended to be. The
witness stated that tea-leaves were dried up, coloured with
offensive matter, and resold as genuine tea. In the manufac-
ture of pickles copper was very extensively used. Red lead
was often found in Cayenne pepper, and was apt tq be very in-
jurious to the system if taken two or three times a week.
Chromate of lead was used so extensively in snuff as frequently
to produce paralysis. No leads escaped freely out of the system,
but were cumulative, and consequently dangerous. It might
be mentioned that a strong redness in Cayenne peper was a
,suspicious circumstance, though not conclusive, as the addition
of salt to pure Cayenne would render it more vividly red than
even red lead itself. _

Lord Claude Hamilton—With regard to other articles, are
they adulterated chiefly by the wholesale dealers, or by retail
dealers, to whom they are supplied ? Witness—No doubt by
the wholesale dealers.

On referring to the adulterations of marmalade, the Chair-
man inquired whether it was always made of oranges. Wit-
ness—Oh no; generally of turnips. (Laughter.)
In answer to questions in reference to coloured con-
fectionery, the witness stated that scarcely a year passed
without deaths arising from the consumption of these
adulterated articles. The largest consumption was amongst
children, who were consequently the principal victims. He
had purchased such confectionery at large and small shops,
and he found very little difference between them. There was
an enormous consumption of this coloured confectionery, and
there had been a great increase since the diminution in the
price of sugar.
After some evidence on the adulteration of gin, the com-
mittee adjourned till Wednesday next (to-morrow).

THE MoDELs OF PARIS AND PERE LA CHAISE, it will be
seen, are still on view in Old Postoffice-place. At the present
time, when so many are availing themselves of the facilities
aird other inducements held out to visit the French capital,
an attentive study of these models must be generally useful.
To those going to Paris it will greatly abridge their labour
and increase their comfort by enabling them to understand
the different localities which they will require to visit. To
those who remain at home, it will increase the means of un-
derstanding what is said to them of it by their more fortunate
friends who have made the visit.
STEALING FROM THE ADELPHI HOTEL.—On Saturday,
Margaret Lewis, a middle-aged woman, was charged before
the Police-court with stealing a large number of knives, forks,
glasses, towels, and other articles, from the Adelphi Hotel.
The officer stated that information had been given by Mr.
Radley, of a number '4l articles having been stolen. The
officer suspected the prisoner, who had been employed by Mr.
Radley as a charwoman. He went to a house of bad character,
in Dance-street, which was kept by the prisoner, and he there
found a great number of articles, bearing the mark of the
hotel. The prisoner did not deny the charge. She was sent
to gaol for a month. It appeared that the woman had got
into Mr. Radley's employ on the faith of a false character,
she having passed herself off as a poor widow, anxious to
work hard fora iving. She has a small annuity, derived
from some property in Carnarvonshire.
A MA.uret STORE DEALER IN TRODBLE.—On Saturday,
Samuel Winter, a middle-aged man, who keeps a marine store
in Sumner-street, was brought before the
.Pdlice-court, for
having about 701bs of metal beats, and a large quantity of
composition (nails, for which he could not satisfactorily ac-
ocount. The officer who had charge of the case stated that a
boy, named] Johnson, who was an apprentice with Messrs.
Humble and Grayson, of Neptune-street, had gone at various
times to Mr. Marsden's in Argyle-staeet, with forged orders
for nails and bolts, which were supposed to be for'his employers.
It turned out, however, that the boy had sold about 31- cwt.
of nails to marine store dealers. The boy's -employers did not
wish to prosecute him, as he was a poor orphan, and had pro-
missed to go to sea. But, as the boy had told-to whom he had
sold some .of the nails, the officer went and searched the
prisoner's premises. A•large quantity of nails and bolts were
-found, of which no entries were made in his books ; and some
of the property was found at the prisoner's private dwelling,
in Gildart's Gardens.—After some comments by the magis-
trate, a fine of 20s. and costs was inflicted; and his license
*was ordered to be revoked.
THE CHANGINGSOINES OF A POL/CE.,OFFICE.—A young
-woman, raving mad, as conveyed'to the Salford Police-office,
on Thursday, for safelteeping. She was a mother, and had an
infant six weeks old. The cause of her derangement was the
-enlistment intothe militia of the young man who was the
father of the child. She was a Roman Catholic, and she called
loudly and repeatedly for a -confessor. A priest was sent far,
and, though it had previously required two men to hold her,
whenieft alone'with him she was as quiet as possible. He
remained with her a few minutes, and when he left the room
she broke out again, and was as violent as ever. The child is
.six weeks old, and as it 'had not been baptized, and is not
likely to live, the priest proposed to baptize it. Water was
accordingly sent for, and the ceremony was performed in the
superintendent's office, in .the presence of the woman who
cleans the police,office, and one or two women who had accom-
panied the-lunatic to the station. In the course of the day
the unfortunate creature and-her child were removed to 'the
workhouse. Previous to this, however, an elderly man, who
had for many years been a public servant, was conveyed to
the police-station, prior to his removal, under the usual,certi-
ficates, to the county - asylum at Prestwich. He was a reli-
gious monomaniac. Later in the day some boys took to the
office the body of a prematurely stillborn child, which they
had found in the river; and the police would have to see to
its interment, which would, probably, be effected with all the
expedition consistent with .common decency.—Manchester
Guardian.

HEALTir COMMITTEE.—At the usual meeting, on Thurs-
day, Mr. Dover presiding, the Medical Officer represented that
the mortality of the borough was lower in the week ending
on Saturday than in any week of the preceding twenty
months. The total deaths were 170, the average of the
same week of the preceding seven years 228.—A tender
from George Ravenscroft for sewering Harrington-streei,
Bell-street, Fisher-street, •&c., at a cost of £1039, was re-
ferred ; a tender of Jame Jones for sewering Water-street
and King-street-lane. West Derby, was accepted ; also a
tender from John Hankin, for similar work in Fairdlough-
lane.—ln accordance with ,a notice of motion previously
given, Mr. Dover proposed an increase in the salary of Mr.
Davies, the duty 'borough engineer. Mr. Beckwith saw
no grounds for the proposed advance, and stated that in
1846 Mr. Davies had an advance to £2OO, in 1860 he was
advanced to £3OO, and in 1853 to £350 per annum. Mr.
Johnson moved that the salary of Mr. Davies be advanced to
£4OO per annum. Mr. Beckwith would oppose it not only
there but in the council. Same conversation took place, and
after a suggestion that the subject be referred, the committee,
without coming to a division, allowed the matter to drop.—
The Law-clerk informed the committee that Sir Benjamin
Hall had declined to proceed further with his Public Health
Bill. With regard to the alleged encroachments by the Dock
Committee at Wapping, he had forwarded to their secretary
.a copy of the resolution passed •by the Health Committee, but
had not received any official answer. Some desultory con-
versation took place upon the subject. Mr. Halhead sug-
gested a resolution referring•certain understood arrangements
as to the land, &c., to the surveyor of the two trusts, but no
decision was come to upon it.—This being the whole of the
business, the Board adjourned.
TEE DUKE of CAMBRIDGE is to be immediately appointed
Generalissimo of the Foreign Legion.
-Suictnn.—On Thursday afternoon, a gentleman named
Thomas Wilson committed suicide, at Eastley's Hotel, South-
ampton-street, Strand, London, by shooting himself with a
pistol. A letter was found in the room, directed to Mr.
David Wilson, Belfast ; which contained, also, a request that
his portmanteau should be sent to Miss Wilson,Victoria-street,
Belfast.

INFRINGING THE LIBERTY OP THE SUBJECT.—A rag-
gatherer,.about fifty-five years of age, on Friday threw himself
into the Seine from the Pont d'Austerlitz. An octroi man,
who happened to be on the towing-path, immediately plunged
in and rescued him. The rag-gatherer, instead of thanking
the man, was no sooner brought safe to land than he flew into
a violent passion, and abused him grossly. " A pretty thing,
indeed !" cried he, " not to allow a man to leave the world
when and how he pleases ! And," he added, "I ought to be
allowed to drown myself, for I have three times merited the
guillotine !"
CRUISING IN THE NEW ROYAL YACHT.—The Queen and
Prince, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Count
of Flanders, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the Princess Royal,
and the Princesses Alice and Helena, embarked at Osborne-
pier on Thursday afternoon, for a cruise in the new Royal
yacht Victoria and Albert. The course was round the Isle
of Wight, which was accomplished in three hours and twenty
minutes. The distance is about 62 nautical miles; the Royal
yacht, for her tonnage, may therefore be considered the fastest
vessel in England. The same evening, Her Majesty took a
second cruise from Osborne round the Nab light-vessel, and
back again.
Mi7RDER AND MUTILATION OP A CHlLD.—Elizabeth
Perkins, aged 28, has been committed for trial on the warrant
of the coroner of Shrewsbury, charged with the wilful murder
of her female infant. The evidence at the inquest was to the
effect that the prisoner had lived as cook with Mr. Harding,
manager of the business of Messrs. Redmaine and Co., mercers,
Shrewsbury. The prisoner's sister was the chief witness; and
from other evidence it was proved that the child had been cut
into small pieces, and the remains had been found in the water-
,closet. The witness stated that she had not been aware of the
condition of the prisoner, and that she attributed her appear-
ance to dropsy. The surgeon stated that the prisoner had
admitted the birth of the child, but said it had been born
dead. In his opinion, however, this was not the ease.
SALAD! VlNEGAR.—Eschalots, sweet savoury, chives, and
tarragon, of each three ounces ; two tablespoonfuls of dried
mint-leaves, and the same quantity of balm ; pound all these in
a mortar, and put them into a stone jar holding a gallon of
strong white wine vinegar, cork it down securely; let it stand
for a couple of weeks exposed to the sun, strain it ofF, press as
much as possible from the herbs, &c., and filter it through a
flannel bag.
