FIRE AT DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24, 12 r.m.

A ire took place to-night in' Devonpo' rt dock-
psi It broke out at a quarter to 11 o'clock in a /ergs
storeroom immediately over the steam aw•mUle. The don
is used for storing osbin furniture and bulkheads returned
from ships on their being put out of commission. It is also
employed as a dining-room for the animas of the yard>
and as a drill-room of the Volunteer Artillery. The fire
broke out in the south-west end of the room where the fur.
niture wee stored.

It was early diacoyerecl by the policeman out duty, and the
dockyard engines, police force, and subsequently the prin-
cipal officers and Warne of the yard, were promptly on the
spot. The ships in oommission, the troops in garrison, and
several authorities of the town also rendered assistance.
The ire was got under shortly after midnight. Nearly all
the furniture and the whole of the west root of the store are
destroyed. A portion of the flooring is also burnt, and
same slight damage date to the sew-milk.

DRAJLI.

DRURY-LANE.

A new farce, called a Young Lad from (hr
Country, by Mr. John Oxenford, was produced at this
bmue last night to fill up the time between a quarter to
seven, when the performances commence, and a quarter to
eight—the modern tragedy hour. .1 farce with precisely
the sane title was produced at the Olympic in June, 1.,36.t,
the adapter being Mr. Maildison Morton, but Mr. Oxen-
ford's little piece is not taken from the French,
and it is thoroughly English, riotous, and old
fashioned. The success of the Struts of Lyndon
seems to have encouraged the author to give as many
street WOOLY as partible, with omnibuses, lamp-posts,
Policemen, shoebLicks, and other interesting realities of
London life. The farce is evidently a sly hit at the pano-
ramic drama. aid " young man from the country" (Mr.
Holmore) is, therefore, an Impossible character thrown into
a variety of impossible situations. Ho is allowed to wear
several very eccentric bate, to climb up a ladder into a
drawing-room, to slide down the ladder again, to tumble
overchain sod tables in the dark, to make love to a young
lady in the true sewney fashion. and to do almost everything
e.,eept st...uth crockery and tear his breeches. 111. Eelmore
made the most of all this wild fun, and he was well supported
by Mr. Fit7junes, Mr. G. F. Neville. Mr. Spencer, Mims
Rose Leclerc q, and Miss Helen Howard. The pit and gal-
lery visitors were amused while the stalls and box visitor■
were taking their seats, and the piece wallow:as:46ln'.

A letter front Rotlle of the 15th, iu the Salut

The old King Louis of Bavaria arrived here three nights
ago. His Majesty was fissi days performing 'the journey
from Sienna ; torrents of rain and heavy falls of snow
having intelinpted the communications 'both on the
railways and on the high roads. The mail, in
returniug from C.vita.Castellana, was stopped by
a hand of brigands who robbed it of 1,600
crowns in Roman bask notes. An Irish abW
who had arrived here by railway the evening before last,
went into a caft.: at the station to get sonic refreshment.
Wishing afterwards to proosed to the college he applied for
► guide. A man presented himself who spoke a few words
in English, and they started together. Instead, however,
of taking the abLZ to the college the fellow led him into
the Strada Macao, where two other men joined them. The
abbe was immediately attacked by the three, robbed of all
be possessed, and also received two violent blows in the
face which knocked out two of his teeth.

,said—lnvt eight, • quarter
before 8 o'clock, I was an duty at Tooting-common with
Sergeant Fullbrook watching for the prisoner to come to Mr.
Thompeoo's, as we had remind some information. I heard
the fence crack, and on looking I perceived the poisoner con-
cealed inside Mr. Thompeou's garden. He was in • stoop-
-36g position with his bat off. I got over the fence and took
UN prisoner into custody. He wee wearing a false beard
and moustache. On searching him I found three imp
skews, • pistol and powder flask.
Mr. Ingham—ls the pistol loaded ?

Mr. Ingham—Was there any cap on the pistol'
Witnees—No, sir ; I found nociain upon him.
Mr. Ingham—Then aepesently he Lad no means of firing
off the pistol. Did he give any amount of himself'
Witems—He would not give any account of himself. I
asked him what business he bad there, and he would
not may.
Other evidence was adduced to show that the prisoner
was (remedy an apprentice to Mr. Hunt, a draper, at Lower
Tooting, and left 12 months ago to eater a warehouse in
the City, at his master's recoonnsodatice. Latterly, Mr.
Hunt had received letters with refineries to a young
lay, and stating that the prisoner was not what he
had recommeoded him to be. Mr. Hurt saw the pri-
soner, who denied the accusations, and on making
Inquiries he found them correct and afterwards found that
he bad left his situation. It also appeared that about 6
o'clock last night the prisoner sent a female named Cart-
wright to Mr. Hunt's with a message that he (Mr. Haut),
was to go to Mr. Thompson's immediately with change for a
201. cheque. Suspicions were aroused and Information was
given to the police.
The prisoner made no remark and Mr. Ingham remanded

UNITY BANK.-(TDIS DAY.)

This day an extraordinary meeting of the share-
holders of this bank was held at the London Tavern ; Alder.
man Kuria in the chair.
The following report and belenee-shest were read :
" The directors now submit to the shareholders • statement
showing the position of the beak ma the 31st of December
last. It is with much regret they lad the malt fall so far
short of the expectations they were led to entertain.
Many lo have occurred in the realisation of the assets
of the beak. The capital account has been charged with
the preliminary expenses, the loss by investments in bank
premises, and credit hes been taken for capital returned to
the shareholders. With respect to the bank premises the
directors have been much disappointed, receiving only
1,5001. for the fittings at 10, Cannon street, in return for
an outlay of 10,0001. The sue of the Brighton freehold
has likewise resulted in • lase of nearly 4,0001.
These losses, coupled with the failure of many customers
whose estates have produced most unsatisfactory results,
have contributed materially to the absorption of the remain-
ing capital of the beak. It must also be borne in mind
that the premium of 10.0001. which was to have been paid
by the Loudon and Middlesex Bank for the goodwill of the
business of the Unity Bank cannot now, accordiog to
counsel's opinion, be recovered. The directors, wanted by
pest experience, have been most cautions in their estimate
of future realisation, but they think a further sum of from
21. to 31. pee sham will be ultimately returned. rbe direc-
tors, in mamma with the general body of shareholders, are
themselves great sufferers, being very large arid original
holders of the shares of the bank. Some additional share
were also purchased by them upon the estimate made and
given to the ehsreholders at the last meeting."

CHRISTY S MINSTRELS.

This party of vocalists have begun their series of
performances for this memo at St. James's-hall, where they
are singing every evening, sod drawing large audiences. it
would now be superfluous to deem ibe the Christy's Min.
stria. They have been for many years well known, not only
in London, but in all parts of the country, and have pre-
nerved their popularity long after the troops of " Ethiopians"
who ones overflowed the land like an inundation have passed
away. Mabee arisen from their great and evident superiority,
which drew attention from the first, and does so still. We
speak of them as a body which has all along been one and
the same, though the individuals composing it have been in a
state of change, in the same manner as a man preserves his
identity though the particles of his body may have been
renewed again and again in the course of his life. The pre-
sent individuals, we understand, Sr. almost entirely new ;
but, in the aggregate, they form the identical Christy's
Stirrer so long and so familiarly known. When enter-
tainments are made up of the same or similar materials, their
01.11.135 t of performance is the some, and they show the
same degree of talent (most remarkable in its kind)
for which the Christy's Minstrels have always been distin-
guished. Their singing (as it always has been) is of two
kinds, serious sad comic. Their sentimantel songs are
generally sung by a reale voice (and there are admirable
voices among them) with a refrain or chorus, sad accom-
panied by two violins, i violoncello, and a harp. The airs
are smooth, melodious, and expressive ; they are sang with
delicacy and feeling ; and the instrumental accompaniments
are masterly. Many of these songs have been published
by the most eminent houses, and are to be found in the
most elegant drawing-rooms. These are intermixed with
nigger ditties of the most grotesque description, which
never fail to set the audience in a roar. Itogether the
entertainments of the Christy's Minstrels are amusing to
everybody, and at the same tame capable of gratifying the
taste of the moat relined lover of music.

facturing jeweller, of Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, charged
with stealing about 2004 worth of jeweller►, the property

and identified by Mr. Darling as his property.
Chappell naked for another remand that the other pawn-
brokers might attend.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not think there was any news-
sity fora further remand, and should therefore commit the

tendance to give up the property, and if the other pawn-
brokers did not attend at the trial and give up the property

terer's while on her foraging expedition—tightly about her
person.
