SHAICSPE itEAN ChLEBRATION.— The annual Shak-
sperea.o celebration tout( place in the Corn Exchange
on Wednesday evening last and considering the
crowded state of the rat on Monday night, the
audience was very gotta. The entertainment com-
menced with a pianoforte aluet by Mr. G. Bat' a and
Mr. J. Bete which was executed with *great taste
an i finish The glee, recitative, air, and chortle.
were remarkably well rendered The rendings by
Rev. L. B. Penley and Mr. A. Freer were very
appropriate and interesting and were well received.
Miss Maud Pearce poaesses a. wonderfully clear
soprano voice and her songs were given in a charm-
ing manner both being lendl/ encorea and re;ponded
to. This young lady also gave the arali..nce a great
treat wini a vie in solo which was brilean-ly
execw, .1. Mr. Pars Las a good voice of ;.;leat

as lie was evidently suffedng from a bad cold. Tl.e
proseramme concluded with th.: trial scene from the
2.leichant of Venice by members of the Church oi
Englend 'Association. It was very well performed,

was evin..ee by the loud apptatese they received.
NEW ALHAMIIRA HEITRE. This week good
ouses h.,ve assembled here to witness the perform.
;teed ot Mr Eielsten's company. "Recommended
to Mercy," wiopted from Miss Braddon's eovel
'4o-hue haggard" was the drama selected and the
manner in which it was received fully justifies us
m saying that it is one of the best dramas ever
placed afore an audience. The scenery is good,
the mechanical effects excellent, and toe company
one of the most carefully chosen that h-is appeared
here. Mr. Edelsten plays the part of Joshua Hag-
gard to perfection, and he is a thoroughly futi.,hed
artiste, his grand Rail*. especialiy in the third and
fourth acts, &ding the audience spellbound. Mr.
Frank Hibbert has two nice parts to perform. as
Oswald and Arnuld Pentreath, and he does so in a
hi, lily satisfactory ma. ner. The Ju 11th Hagg ird
of Mr,. Eiltesren was exceptionally good 88 was
also the Cynthia of Miss Clare Caveudish. Miss
4d'-le Liddell and Miss Anna Beaumont are bth
ch,,rming actresses, and the latter lady creates rears
of lau6hter in her representztioo of the servant kir!
SAly. To-night (Saturday) thera will be an entire
el,ange.of programme and we trust thakthe lovers
of geuu tee acting wiil not lose the opportunity of
witnessing the last performance of this capital com-
pany. _

A recent writer in ow- local papers las wistly
observed that "one of the fcelies of the age is to buy
dear Wines and •Spirits." Another folly is to
suppose that buying from those who make the
argeat retuan of duty is buying them in the
cheapest market. The Merchant who pays duty
upon thousands of gallons pays in exact proportion
to the retailer clearing a siugie cask. A great profit
must be gained to cover enormous expenses of large
business premises, cost of advertising, and an
allowance of profit to the Agent, greater in
many instances than taken by them in the respect-
ab e Merchant. To buy cheap is to buy where but
one profit is made, and we cannot better illustrate
our argument than by pointing out the way in
%Lich our townsmen, Messrs J. it utland and Son, of
63, High-st, have opened up the trade. We have
no hesitation in saying that 25 per cent, is now
'need by their bringing the producer and the con-
sumer together, over the prices paid a few years
ago, and a, trial will fully bear out our, assertions
