COILONEFL'i; Cioifwf, gAItILDAY. THE ALLEGED
CASE or STARVATION.—The acijonrned inquest on the
body of Mary Anne Walker, who died in the workhouse,
was resumed on Saturday. The details of the case were
fully reported in our paper of Saturday. In addition
to the evidence already given, Dr. Nevins stated that be
made a post inortein examination of the body, and found
death to be the result of softening of the brain towards
the fortnation of an abscess, the result of purely natural
causes. The jury foffnd a verdict accordingly.
ROYAL PARIi TnEktur.--We referred last week to
the great and pleasing change which has been brought
about at this theatre by the new management. The
experience of another week enables us for eolith'!" the
opinion we then expressed, both as to the company, and
the order and decorum observed by the audience. Mr.
Herbert, the leading man, is already an established
favourite, as are also Messrs. Imhert and Wright. New
scenery_ and a good corps (le ballet tend to increase the
attractions, and enhance the value of the evening's
entertainment.

Mr. Grossmith, of Loudon, pays a first visit to Liver-
pool this week. A contemporary says, of one of his
recent lectures :—" Mr. Grosentith delighted a large
midi:epee in the Town Hall, on Monday, by a humorous
and graphio sketch of 'Lecturers and Lecturing.' His
dry humour--sly hits at follies and foibles—his clever
mimicry and his versatility of character kept the house
in an uncontrollable and evessive roar throughout.
But it is not alone in wit and fatty or delineation of
character that
,Mr. Grossmith's talents appear in high
perfection. He is an admirable lecturer and an accom-
plished orator, exhibiting a flow of language in the best
style of oratory, which many of his hearers might pro •
ably study to acquire, and which some of them could
not but have envied."

TUE LATE ELOPEHENT CASE.—At the Thames Police-
court, on Saturday, this case, the particulars of which
we published a few days since, was brought before the
magistrates by detective officer Scott, of the Liverpool

landlord and landlady of the Bricklayers' Arms public-
house, Gloucester-street, Commercial- road East ; James
