DRURY LANE.

The second part of Henry the Fourth, one of the
richest in character and poetical writingolSliskespeareschro-
nicle plays, was produced at this home on Saturday night,
according so promise. Though it contains no 'pentacle—no
incident capable of profuse stage Must:lotion, like the
battle of Shrewsbury, and vary little connected story, it
appeared to give unlimited mtisfaction to a most crowded
audience. The applause was nearly always given in the
right plane, and was bestowed upon others besides the prin-
cipal characters.
The acting on Saturday left little to be desired. Mr.
Phelps is always strikingly artistic when he has to deal with
strongly marked chazacur, and his assumption of Justice
Shallow -the old, garrulous, weak-minded, quick, nervous,
county justice, was elaborate and perfect. The sentiment
of the part wa■ most delicately brought out, the reflections
upon old bauble's death, and the recollections of youthful
frolics being particularly effective. The fine merges put
into the month of the Sing were also carefully and feelingly
declaimed. and the opening soliloquy, beginning

fairly brought down the home.

Tie interview with Prince Henry was impressively sated,
and Mr. Edmund Phelps made a very excellent Prince of
Wales. Falstaff, as ►t Sadler's Wells, was given to Mr. Bar-
rett, a sterling actor, whose reading of the part was sound,
solid, and unctuous. Mr. Rozby was very spirited and emus.
tug as the stage-struck Fidel, and Mr. G. F. Neville was
chivalrous as Prince John. Silence and Dame Quickly bad
good representatives in Mr. Fits-Jamas and Mrs. H. Van.
denhoff, and many of the minor parts were well, though a
little too quaintly performed. The people of Shakespeare's
time are nearly ►lways represented with a certain childish
simpbcity. which is only a mistaken modern impression of
the past.

A young mile applied to the magistrate for a summons,
in consequence of having bees bitten by a dog. He went
into a shop where he had before purchased things to ask the
price of a particular article, and as be was leaving the shop
• dog rushed out from the rear of the premeds, bit him vary
severely on the leg, end tore his trowels'.
Mr. Belle asked if the dog was in the habit of biting
people?
The applicant said he could not prove that such was the
case, though the doctor who dressed the wound, made by
the dog, said he had no doubt it was the same dog that had
bitten other people.
Mr. Self said, unless he could prove that the dog was in
the habit of biting people, and wee going about in • dan-
gerous state, be could not have • summons under the Police
Act. The dog might have shown special animosity to the
applicant, but that would not entitle him to redress. For

made would be in the county court.

The Orcrland China Mail of Feb. 15 contains the
following :

The put fortnight has been marked by no prominent
incidents, but the slow current of events is not without
significance. The portion of the provisos of Kiangsu
which is south of the Yang-teze, and which includes Nan-
king in the east and Shanghai in the west, is, over half of its
extent, win wader the sway of the imperialists The forces
under Gordon's command remain inactive, pending
advice from Pekin. It is almost time—though not
quite—that these advioes should have been received ; sod
there =clot be any doubt but that upon the nature of the
imperial cabinet's reply will depend all further active mast-
once to the imperialiete oe the pert of the British govern-
ment. The English authorities are not likely to submit to
any loss of treaty advantages which may be threatened by
the proximity to the ports of a Tiepin( garrison. In this
respect they will no doubt allow themselves to be guided
by the merchants resident at the different treaty porta.
The French authorities bare made out an independent
cause of quarrel with the mandarins at Kanding. A French
missionary was about to purchase land there, when the
Fite° prohibited the treader. "The Zephyrs" have been
ordered up to settle the matter.
JAPAN.

From Japan the news wears a decidedly pacific
aspect. Ambassadors are again on the point of
setting ont for Europe—a fact which may of itself
be accepted as • guarantee against hostilities for
some time to come. The Prussian treaty has at
length been ratified, and the Swiss are said to have
obtained a treaty. The American minister has pro-
cured several important tariff reductions, and the
French minister has availed himself of the same
privilege.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.

SCARBOROUGH, SCNIDAT Nrcrrr.
The lifeboat of the National institution stationed
at this port was the means, this morning, of rescuing one
man from the stranded smack Howard, of Grimsby, J.
Cooper, muter, fitted for the Iceland fishery. The smack
wu at anchor just outside the outer buoy, when
about 11.45 a.m. she began to drag her anchor, owing
to the surf that wu breaking round her. A few minutes
afterwards she struck, and knocked her rudder off. It
seems that the muter and all the erew, with the ezmMon
of one man, were on shore. The lifeboat was punned and
launched, and took off the man. The smack is now covered
with water, and will probably become a complete wreck.
The out of this lifeboat was the gift to the National lull-
tattoo of Mm. C....1in-At. of Serrberoneh.
. .. .

The last rumbaing of the Coentiggiwreek Association;
viz., that in Loi-olosiure, has resolved oo tinkling itself to
the Natioaal Lifeboat Institutioa. Alexander Bay, Eng.,
of Mayo.. has decided on presenting to the National lasti-
totios 44304, to pay the cost of a lifeboat and transporting
carriage, to bs stationed at Oirran, os the Ayrishire rout.

GREECE.

A communication from Athena in the Moniteur
says :

The most important news of the day (already announced
to you by telegram) is the vote of the Assembly by
which the Senate is suppressed. All parties approve
of that resolution. The journals of all shades, from
the ministerial Grece to the di* (Aurora), the opposi-
tion organ, declare in favour of • tingle chamber.
The Anti, more particularly, after hating for several
days placed at the head of all its articles the motto,
" The Senate is useless Down with the Senate !" has jest
celebrated its suppression by a leading article ornamented
with a wreath of laurels and roses, in the middle of which is
placed the figures "221," the number of deputies who
voted for the mildew*. The article, in which emphasis and
hyperbole prevail, says :—" After forty years' experience
the Hakim have perceived that the emoting of the edifice
cannot be effected except by simplification. The 10th Septem-
ber must be considered as • date of emancipation, for that
day has seen Greece delivered from the scourge of Pharaoh ;
that is to say, from the Senate, an institution foreign to
the country and to the habits of its inhabitants."

brilliant feat of arms determined the Mexicans to
abandon the formidable defences of Huejuitla.
The Constitutionnel of this morning, replying to

DRAMA.

RAYNABXET.

The Italian actress with a French training—
lildlle. Beatrice di Lumbeidni—who has hese so long an.
nonacid at this theatre, ►ppeared last night in an English
version of Alexander Dumas's Mademoiselle De Belle lee,
the adapter of which u Mrs. Frances Acne Bauble. The
versise put ups. the stage by Mr. Bucketone hes ham re.
easily pabliehei by the latter lady in a volume of Mead
sad translated plays, sad like the yanks mad** Mr.
Selma, which woe produced by Mr. Charles Kea at the
Prieowe's Theatre, about twelve years ego, under the title
of the Duke'. Wager, it has had its morality tinkered a
little to nit English testes.

Mrs. Limble'e version of this play, though i► drops oces-
eionally into very familiar prose, is on the whole, carefully
aid tastefully written. The passion of the chief soma ■
conveyed in refined and unstilted language, but there is •
little too much simplicity shown at the tad when Gabriella
tells the riotous Duke that he hu • " noble heart."
Halle. Beatrice, who has appeared at the Odion and the
Vaudeville Theatres, and who has played the character, we
believe. in French in Paris, made a very favourable impres-
aim in the part of Gabriella De Belle Isle. Her figure is
elope, aad outman/ling, her fan, especially in profile, is
very handsome, her eyes end hair are dark, and her pronun-
ciation of English—a few blemishes excepted—is very good.
She has the French style of intonation—the French tremu-
lous motion of the hands—but her voice is pleasing sad
sympathetic. Her chief fault is a certain genteel coldness
of manner which is snare reflood than effective.

Bbe was very well received and ki•dly encouraged at va.
riutts pap* and succeeded in giving an amiable repreeenta-
Lion of the character. The Chevalier D'Aubigny—her
lover—was played by Mr. W. Farms, who was gentle-
manly and dignified, but deficient in real passion. Ms.
Howe was • hearty representative of the gay Duke do
Richelieu—with no more old French style about him than
• stets-coachman might have bad. Wes Angel wee somewhat
overvreighted as the Marchionees de Valoonr—the clever
wife of the Duke, and the vast of the characters wee.
judiciously acted. The pie, wee well put upon the stage,
and ►he home war crowded. Wile. Beatrice was called on
after the third act, and also at the end of the piece, and
Mr. Howe, Mr. Farm, and Miss Angel were honoured
with • call before the curtain.
