The characters more or lees employed in the action are a
blunt, good-humoured, naval captain, played by Mr. Howe;
an impulsive, jealous lady, the wife et Baron Freitenhareen
—a somewhat tiresome caricature, which was entreated
to Mn. Wilkins ; the two slightly coloured villains, before
mentioned, played by Mr. Braid and Mr. Walter Gordon ;
the son of the old refugee, performed by Mr. W. Fenno ;
a young lady, described in the bills as Lanni Brandon,
who was pleasingly represented by Mks Louisa Angel ; a
talkative waiting woman called Bobbin, who was earefellY
sad amusingly played by Mrs. Wipe ; the two old ant
before described, who were played by Mr. Chippendale and
Mr. Wigan ; and • cockney amateur mule', with a pigtail
and a hornpipe, represented by Mr. 13acketone. Coo.
&linable humour has been shown by the author in filling up
the latter sketch, and much hen doubtless been ►ddd by the
rare talent of the actor. Mr. Buckstone seemed to revel in
the part, end his rich natural fun in some of the &nations
did much to secure the success of the piece. The moat life.
like sketches of character are the young lady and the
waiting-woman ; the least life-like are the heroines and
the villains. Mr. Chippendale's acting as the dreamy baron
we have before spoken of ; it wee far too good for the
part ; and Mr. Wigan, as Dr. Bsetesed, showed all that nice
discrimination, power, and feeling, which have always dig-
tisiguished him as an Woe. He has played many old
I/machetes before this--ens particularly in the Lucky
friday, which will not be essay forgotten, bet an this
eetesica he has surnamed all hie fanner efforts. The oontraet
between the selfish old diplomatic soinener—the man
governed entirely by his head—end the father thinking of
his lest son—ens conveyed with the mated delicacy and
force, and the wil-actientuation of the dialogue was given
with the most perfect truthful/ em
The piece will probably be much oondeesed before its
wood representation. If it bad ion hurriedly write= by
a Ism &diminished writer ; bed been benteDy prodwied ;
and bad been accepted by managers diem teet and apertestoe
then Mr. Buckatone and Mr. Wipe, there would have been
more excuse for its faults. It shows many indkrtkas el a
dramatic talent which may yet be made manful for the siege,
' but only after that severe drilling which even successful
playwrights like Sir Solver Lytton have had to submit to.

THE POLICE COURTS.

90IITHWARK.
Henry Barrett, police sergeant, Was. Jona and Henry
Young, well-known detective officers of many yeas' stand-
ing, were charged with extorting 94 from John Murray, •
licensed victualler, formerly keeping themictoria Tavern,
Waterloo-road, under plea of getting his transferred,
and also with attempting to obtain • further sum of 51.
from him by threats.
The prosecutor said he had kept the Victoria Tavent, end
on "lard December last he was fined 51. for harbouring thieves
in that house. About • week after that conviction the three
prisoners came to his house and gave him to understand
that they knew he wanted to leave his home, and that if he
would pa them money they would mike it all right so that
his license would not be taken away. They came to him
several times, and hinted that noleas the money were paid
they would not stand by him, and that, in fact, it .was •
question whether the lianas would be withdrawn or trans-
ferred. He gave them money on various occasions, and at
last be promised them 51. more when the bosun was
actually transferred. Witness had let the house, and had
aid the lait 51.
Mr. Goldby, his tenant, confirmed this part of the
statement.
The prisoners denied the charge.
Mr. Burnham raid that such a cane must be made an
example of. to protect the public from extortions. He
therefore sentenoed all three to imprisonment and hard
labour for one month.
An spoliation was made that the prisoners might be
fined instead, as they all had families to support.
Mr. Burnham said he should not alter his decision.

THAMES.
Jobe Moss, a constable of the I{ division, was charged
with stealing twenty pawnbroker's duplicates relating to
property valued at W., and 3s. 6d. in money. The charge
originated in a woman named Ellis. residing in Perseverance•
street, being accused of robbing a seaman. Defendant
searched her place, and she mimed the twenty tickets and
the money. The former were traced to Moss's lodging and
to a pawnbroker's, where Moms's wife had redeemed some
of them. Prisoner and his wife were committed.

ROME

RECONCILIATION BETWEEN CARDINAL
ANTONELLI AND MGR. DE MERODE.
" A strange piece of news," says the Paris Prase
of to-day, " has reached us from Rome. M. de
Merode and Cardinal Antonelli have been publicly
reconciled in the presence of the Pope ! On the
eve of his departure from Ceprano, Pius IX., while
lying on his bed, made an appeal to the two minis-
ters, and expressed to them in the midst of sobs'
all the grief which their divisions had caused him,
and all the scandal which must result if these divi-
sions were made notorious by the retirement of one
of them. The next day the two ministers dined We-
a-Mte with the Pope. Our correspondent from
Rome, after having mentioned the emotion and
surprise produced by this intelligence, asks himself
whether this reconciliation is sincere, and, above
all, whether it will be lasting. The friends of M.
de Merode say confidently that the proofs of the
culpability of M. de Fausti having convinced Car-
-1 dinal Antonelli, his eminence has no longer any
I reason for persisting in his resignation."

which the Federals have always been deprived by I
circumstances. They have in almost every ease
been the assailing party. The next morning, Sun-
day, at daybreak, the Confederates renewed the
attack. Again General Lac appears to have had
a partial success, but again the Federals stood
their ground, and maintained themselves on the
south side of the Rapidan river. But they did
Imore. For on that same day a body of Federals,
estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000 men,
crossed about three miles below Fredericksburg,
and assailed the heights above that city, where
LEE had been entrenched. These entrenchments
were carried, and the troops which had occupied
them retired to join LEE at Chancelloraville. Ac-
cording to one account, the right wing, under
HOOKER himself, was separated from these 20,000
men by some five miles.
LEE thus standing between these two armies,
the attack was renewed on Monday afternoon, but
without important results. General Senoswicies
division, however, was defeated on the same day,
and driven across the river. Neither Hooray nor
Lae can suffer a real defeat in the position in
which they stood on Monday morning, the
4th of May, without serious consequences. flooxma's
retreat lies across two rivers. On the other hand,
Lex, if he fails to hold the railway between Frede-
ricksburg and Richmond, must retreat by cross-
roads upon that capital. Whoever may be victo-
' rims, it is clear that both armies must have suf-
fered very severely. It is impoaaible.to fight during
three successive days in the open field without
serious loss. In the meantime it must be ad-

punishing his wife and family. He should not order the

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

MUSIC.

Flotow's Martha was performed on Saturday
night for the first time this season. Elvira Demi
made her abut before the English public, in the character
of Earichetts. Her appearance was prepossessing, and sbe
showed pleasing qualities as an serer and ringer ; but,
whether from an excess of nervous agitation which she was
usable to shake a, or from a positive deficiency of vocal
attainment, her performance war found to be so weak and
unfinished that she war very coldly received. It
may be hoped that she will be more suc-
cessful in another away. In other respects
this pretty opera was performed in the man.

TEE LATE MR. WESTERN WOOD, M.P.

THE regret with which we record the death
of Mr. WESTERN WOOD, M.P., will be shared,
without exception, by that very large portion of
the public with whom his various mercantile
and political duties brought him into connexion.
Mr. WOOD belonged to a family which has enjoyed
a large measure of public esteem ; but he owed his
election for the City of London, two years ago,
when a seat became vacant by the retirement of
Lord Joni! Ruessix, to his own character. The
constituency, unable to replace its late Member
by another of equal political celebrity, resolved to
return to the ancient practice of sending to Par-
liament one of its own citizens of tried ability and
zeal. Mr. Wool) did not disappoint the expecta-
tions formed of him, and had he lived he would
probably have represented the City for many years
to come. It will be well if the citizens should
secure a successor equally worthy of their con-
fidence.

BELGIUM.

The conference by which the question -.I the
tollsof the Scheldt is to be arranged will hold its
first meeting to-morrow (16th) at the Belgian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A letter from Brussels
states that, a singular difficulty has been raised by
the government of Rome. The minister of the
Pope insists absolutely on paying a larger indem
nity than the sum demanded, on the ground that
Rome must pay on account of the seaports once
belonging to the Papal territory, but now annexed
to the kingdom of Italy. But Belgium, having
recognised the new kingdom, cannot assent to the
curiously generous offer of the Roman government,
and it is reported that the Papal Nuncio has re-
ceived instructions to take no part in the conference
1 if that offer is not accepted.

LONDON AND (3 REENWICH ALWAY. —The half-
yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held
yesterday, at the offices, Gresham-house. Alr. Pitcher
presided, and moved the adoption of the report, which re-
commended the payment of a dividend of Is. 5,1. per sham,
or at the ride of 11. Ts. Id. per cent. for the Milt-year. The
motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Maclaurin said he
tw that 3821. 64. 2d. was paid in the form of salaries to
the directors and secretary. He wished to know who paid
the income tax on that amount° Mr. Adroo, the secretary,
said it was paid by the directors and himself. The income
tax was deducted from the mot paid by the South Eastern,
so that it was really paid twice on the sum allowed for
salaries. The government had stated that the tax would
not be taken oo the salaries in future; and if it was right
that that enures should be followed in future, it ought also ,
to have been adhered to in the mist.
Whilst the salvage men were removing the
smouldering cotton and debris of the recent fire in Water-
street, Liverpool, they discovered that vegetation was active
and luxuriant in one of the bales. Several plants were taken
from the bale and submitted to competent judges, who
decided that they were cotton plants. The heat and mois-
ture which penetrated every portion of the warehouse must
hove caused the seed in the bale to germinate, and after this
the growth seems to have been very active' and vigorous.

GREECE.

The Nord, in reference to the recent disturbance
in Athens, states that some discussion has arisen on
the question whether it would not be expedient on
the part of the European Powers to send a pleni-
potentiary to Greece charged with the task of
repressing severely all the germs of rebellion in that
country, consequent on the crisis through which it
is passing. This envoy would clear away many
elements of disorder, and leave to the young King
only the initiative of liberal measures, of which he
would have the credit without incurring the danger.

SUICIDE AT WINDSOR CASTLE.

Yesterday afternoon the Crown Coroner, W. T.
Manning, Faq., held an inquest in Windsor Castle, touching
the death of Martha Billings, nee of her Majesty's house-
maids employed at the Castle. The jury was composed of
the servants of the royal household, with Mr. Seabrook.
keeper of the stores, as foreman. It appeared from the
evidence of Corporal Isaac Crease, of the 2nd battalion of
the Coldstream Guards who was on duty at the Castle, that
as he entered the North Terrace in charge of the relief
guard at six o'clock on Monday evening he saw
the body of the deceased lying on the pound beneath
that part of the Castle known as Queen Elizabeth's Tower.
He halted the guard, and found that deceased had re-
ceived& severe injury in the head, and was lying in • pool of
blood. Gave notice to the police at the Castle entrance,
and afterwards assisted in carrying deceased into the Castle.
Notioed that deceased breathed a few saccade, but she was
dead on reaching the Castle, Mr. Hooey Brown, surgeon
and apothecary to the royal household, said deceased called
on him on Friday last and complained of being low-spirited,
but he could get but few answers to his questions put to
her. Attributed her state to a bilious attack. Saw
her on the following day, when she said she wished
to die. Saw her spin on Sunday, and then ascer-
tained that there bad been insanity in her family, and
consequently gave directions that she should be watched.
Saw her dead on Manley evening, and examined the body
externally, and discovered • fracture on the base of the
skull and other injuries sufficient to cause death. Charles
Kilmenster, the porter, spoke as to the finding of the body,
and the attendatee of the crimson in a few minutes after-
ward.. Mary Ann Ledger and Jane Faaer, housemaids,
and Elizai eth Pearce (charwoman attending on the deed),
who were all with her in the same department, were seve-
rally examined, and their testimony went to show that de-
ceased had been ill since Friday last and very desponding.
Said she would like to die, and asked Jane Fraser to cut
her throat. At 4 o'clock on Monday deceased took tea
with them, and appeared calm, which took them off their
guard. At 5 o'clock she walked on the roof of the tower with
Jane Fraser, aid made a rational remark on • lady's drew
below ; thee returned to their room, when deceased, about
six o'clock, said she would have a stroll in the pomp
which leads to the roof ; and shortly afterwards they dis-
covered that deceased bad returned to the roof, hoeing
unbolted the door, and thrown herself off on to the terrace
from • height of between 40 and 50 feet. Mr. Hart. of
Windsor, a cousin of deceased, said there bed been insanity
in her family, that her mother died insane, and that her
only sister, •ho formerly lived at Buckingham Palace, died
in a lunatic asylum. Verdict—" That the deceased threw
herself from the top of the tower on to the North Terrace
whilst in a stets of temporary iessuity.” Deceased had
been • well-conducted servant in the Castle, always on good
terms with the other sevaata, and was about 30 years
of age.

MUSIC.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The aeries of " cheap nights" at the end of the
season was "inaugurated" last evening by a revival of
Oberon, similar to that which was got up at this theatre
at the same period of the season three years ago. The
same Italian version of the music was used, and the
same changes were made in the music ; the original
spoken dialogue being turned into recitative by Mr. Benedict,
and several pieces being introduced taken from Bananas and
other works of Weber. The opera was more strongly east
than formerly—more strongly, probably, than it ever has
been at any other time or place whatever. Thiene wee
Sims Reeves Sir Mom, Alboni Fatima, Bentley
Scberartnin, Bettini Oberon. and Trobelli Puck. The per-
formance, as usual on first nights (which this mast be coast-
dared as having been), was protracted to an inordinately late
hour ; and we must therefore content ourselves, for the pre-
sent, with saying that the house was crowded, that the per-
formance wan excellent, and that the principal singers were
warmly applauded, and honoured with repeated calls before
the curtain.

HARYLEBONE SCHOOL OF ART.

The first public meeting for the distribution of
prizes in connexion with this school was held at the Maryle.
bone Courthouse last evening. Mr. A. J. B. BERRI:WORD
Horn, the president of the institution, occupied the chair,
and there were also present the Bishop of Chichester, Mr.
Harvey Lewis, Mr. Hepworth Dixon, the Rev. C. J. P.
Eyre, icc. There was a good attendance of students and
their friends.
The CHAIRMAN in opening the erocerdinp expressed the
peculiar gratification he telt is being present, not only from
the intemet he telt in the progress of art, but from his long
personal connexion with Maryleivone. From a paper
which had been horded to him it appeared that
in May, 1862, when they were babes, hut a few weeks
old, the students numbered 59. This number had
fluctuated according to the season of the year, but in
May last there were 140 attending. showing a
general average throughout the peer of about 100.
Independently of their own loud competition for
prizes and medals, some of their students had been examined
at South Kensington, for what were called the "National
Nledallioes." These medallions bad been awarded to the
number of about SO among the 90 schools of art in England,
shoving a proportion of something less than one to each;
but he was proud to say that their school had gained not
one ouly, but two of the medallions. He thought that
this result, for a young institution, was most eocouraging.
(Hear, hear.) After some other obuervatious
the chairman distributed the prizes, &c., 'as follows:
Mies Mead, W. Aumouier, F. Braun, M. AL Clover, C.
Hanbury, G. E. Higginson, 11. Montford, B. Page, T.
Pearce, T. Spooner, J. Stower, F. Tebay, J. Weir, W.
Gummi, It J. Bliakley, T. E. Hall. Medals for works
done in the ordinary course of study :—Miss Clapham, F.
Braun, 1). J. Blaikley, T. E. Hall, G. H. Ives, H. Mont-
ford, A. Perry, W. Cousens. The national medallions were
awarded to F. Braun for specimens of marqueterie, and H.
Montford for modelling the figure from the cast.
A very pleasing ceremony followed in the presentation by
Mr. Sparrow, a student, of a handsome timepiece to Mr.
Clarke, the toaster, for his kindness and attention since the
opening of the institution,
The Bishop of Chichester, Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., and
other gentlemen afterwards delivered appropriate addresses,
and the proceedings then terminated.

HEALTH or LONDON. It appears from the
weakly return of the Registrar-General that the deaths in
London in the week that ended on Saturdty were 1,287.
This return exhibita an increase of 100 deaths on that of
the previous week ; and it is also higher than any weekly
number returned since the end of May. The avenge num-
ber derived from corresponding weeks (in 1853-62), anti cor-
rected for lacrosse of population, is 1,170 ; and the deaths
in last week are therefore more by 117 than they would
have been if the average rate of mortality had prevailed.
At the present time scarlatina is the most fatal of all the
epidemic disarm., and the deaths from it in the week rose to
113, while those from diphtheria declined to 7. Five deaths
from scarlatina occurred in the Kensington town sub-district,
6in the rectory sub-district of Maryiebotie, 5 in laliogton

55 deaths are stated to leave occurred to persons who bad
been vaccinated, but it frequently happens in such cues
that the evidence of successful performance of the operation
is not much to be depended on. Diarrhoea has been W-
elcoming lately, as is usual in the summer months ; and last
week tb• deaths from it rose to 91. There were also 10
from &okra. chiefly " cholera iolsotora." A widow died
at the rote of 99 years. Let weak the births of 989 boya
and 994 girls, in all 1,983 children, were registered in
London. lo the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853-

SOUTHWARK.

Jam Bedrock, a etaartrai iniliteMploy of Mr. George
Waymark, hone-dealer, and proprietor- of the Honeehoe
Hotel, Stooe'rend, Borough, was placed at the barter final
examinatioc, charged with wilfully and maliciously and
with fabulous intent pulling out a large quantity of hair
from the tails of two valuable home, the property of his
master, rasing damage to the extent of near 304
Mr. emir appeared for the pronention.
William Gurney, in the employ of the prosecutor, said
that the prisoner entered his service as aedetant in the
stable on the 16th ult., on which day a valuable grey and a
bay bone came into Mr. Waymsrk's personae from the
country. They had both beautiful long tails, reaching
Dearly to the hocks. The prisoner was directed to tend
them, and it was expected thst he did his work honestly.
On Wednesday morning, the Ist instant, witness saw the
horses, and was struck with the scantiness of their tails.
They were not so bushy and long as he had previously sees
them, Wirer questioned the primmer es to the as
of it, and asked bun who had been pulling the hair off the
toile. He replied that he knew nothing about it. A little
while after that witness reported the circumstance to
Mr. Waymark in the prisoner's presser, when the prisoner
acknowledged that he had pulled the hair oat of the horses
tails, and a large bundle of horsehair was found bid be-
hied the stable door. He was then given into custody.
Mr. Waymark said that prior to the tails being pulled
out the horses were worth nearly 1501., and he considered
that it had deteriorated their value by 301. The hair had
not been cut, but palled out from the tails by handsful. It
would grow again in those places. He had no doubt
that the prisoner's intention was to sell it to some fishing
tackle maker, as it might be worth 1/. to him.
The prisoner admitted pulling the hair, but said his in-
tention was only to have given it to a friend.
Mr. Barn= told him it was a serious charge, and be felt
bound to commit him foe trial.
