DRURY LANE.

DRAMA.

Mr. Dion Boucicault is not disposal to let Lis
patrons fall off for want of novelty in his programmes.
The pieces in his well-filled portfolio are not bet half ex"
haunted, and long before the Colleen Barn bas ceased to
be attractive, a new military spectacle is produced to intro-
duce Mrs. Boucicault after her long absence.
Jessie Brown, or The Belief of Lueknow, as it is now
called, like Mr. Boucicault's previous dramas, has not been
now produced for the first time. It had a lengthened run
at Mr. Walleck's theatre in New York, where the author
and his wife performed the same characters as they do bare.
No expense memo to have been spared on its. reproduction
in this country. Mr. Beverley has painted some
striking and effective scenery ; Mr. Oscar Byrne,
our oldest and best ballet master, has sr.
ranged all the " movements" and dances; while
the troop of vaulting Arabs now at Entry-Line give a local
colouring to the Indian portion of the drama which could
never have been got even from the beat trained English
supernumeraries.

To give force to several parts, Mr. Sivinbunies an actor
new to Loudon, Mr, Edwin, Mr. Chas. Vandenhoff (a
young member of the celebrated family), and those old
favourites Mr. Ryder and Mr. Mellon, have been engaged,
while Madame Celesta is suited with a part that gives
considerable scope for her energetic style of acting.
The house was crowded in every part, and the applause
at intervals was loud and genuine. Mr. and Mrs. Bouci-
cault were honoured with several calla before the curtain,
and there is every prospect of the piece having a run.

WEWMINSTER.

Thomas Horrry, • determined looking sailor, 18 years of
age, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and
threatening to stab a police-constable.
Belies Hawe, 397 B, said that at ten o'clock on Sunday
morning be was on duty in Lower North-street, Chelsea,
and saw the defendant in company with two other men
and some prostitutes, all more or less disorderly and intoxi-
cated. He told them such a noise could not be permitted
on a Sunday morning, and requested them to disperse and
go away. The others moved off, but the accused refused
to go, saying be did not care for any policeman, and
should stop there as long as he liked. Witness told him
if he did not go he should have to remove him, upon
which he became still more noisy, and, pulling out
the large knife usually carried by sailors, said
" Now, you —, you may perform as soon as you like.
If you lay a hand upon me I'll let your guts out."
Upon this he opened his knife, and witness fearing he would
carry out his threat, waited till another constable came up,
and they then took the knife from him and took him into
custod
Defendant,
on being asked what defence he had to make
to the charge, said he was drunk and did not remember
anything of the occurrence.
Mr. I)ayman lined him 405., or, in default, 14 days im-
prisonment.
A friend of the prisoner here called out from the auditory
that he had something to say.
Mr. Dayman mid he might speak if he liked, but he would
not alter his decision, as threatening to stab a man was an
offence not to be passed lightly over.
Prisoner was locked up.

Thomas Cole, badge 1,348, was summoned for abusive
language and insulting words to a fare.
Mr. Charles Albert Jeeka, inspector of hackney carriages,
swore that he hired defendant on the 2nd instant at the
Haymarket to drive him to the City-road ; when asked for
his ticket defendant replied, " Here, you had better take
two," and gave them. On being tendered his lawful fare
(and more) be looked contemptuously at complainant and
the money, at the Name time observing, " What, three miles
of ground for two shillings ! Wby you ought to be ashamed
of yourself. What d'ye mean by it?' Defendant was
threatened with • summons, and that threat was kept.
Mr. Juke added that this was the first time he had pro-
ceeded against a cabman for a like offence, and that he felt
it a double duty in his position to do so now, as the com-
plaints against cab-drivers for using taunting and abusive
language were frequent. Timid persons, and particularly
lubea,were really fearful of hiring unleasprevionsly prepared
to pay the full demand made upon them.
Defendant, who was manifestly disappointed at having
to deal with the inspector, was fined 20s. and costs, or 14
days' imprisonment in default.

FRENCH MAYORS AND THEIR MERITS.

The Moniteur of Saturday publishes a list of not
lees than sixty-four mayors who have been decorated with
the Cross of the Legion of Honour. The list is preceded
by a report from the Minister of the Interior to the Em-
peror. The minister declares that he has not confined him-
self to selecting mayors " in the more important centres of
population. Among those whom he proposes is a certain
number who adminster rural communes, and among them
are simple cultivators." The greater number of those
proposed by X Persigny are persons who in
the course of nature cannot long enjoy the distinction
conferred on them. In most cases the ages of the
recipients are specified ; the youngest is 68 years
old. There are some from 70 to 79, several over 80, and
one 94. Some have been over forty years in the exercise
of the functions of village mayor, and many have the addi-
tional recommendation of having served in the army under
the first empire.

The reasons alleged by the minister for the bestowal of
these rather tardy honours are sometimes curious and
touching. One, the first on the list, is 74 years old, has been
44 years in the exercise of municipal functions, " has run.
dered numerous services to his commune, has made the
mast honourable use of a considerable fortune, and has led
a patriarchal life."
Another, 77 years' old, and of 48 years' service, is " the
senior of the mayors of the department, and one of the best
of them."

besides him 37 years' service, has "shown the
intelligent devotedness of a virtuous man," &c.
Another, a cultivator, "enjoys much consideration."
Another 82 years old, is ' the vigilant guardian of the
interests of his commune."

Anotbeq " ai;ordsOrdier, wounded in 1814, near Paris ;
attached to his duties; active, intelligent ; of great consi-
deration."

Another, 94 years old, is repotted as "an intelligent
and conscientious administrator," ' the model of country

mayors."
Another is " a rich cultivator making a noble use of his
fortune."

Another is "much respected by those whom he adminis-
ters—the type of honesty and uprightness."
Another, with 52 years' service, is " venerated for his
spirit of charity, modesty, and devotedness."
Another, besides 49 years' service, and being senior in his
department, is " • man of duty and disinterestedness."
Another, an old soldier of the first republic and the
empire, is " • useful mayor, esteemed and devoted."
Another, "firm and energetic in difficult times."
Another, "a soldier of the empire, wounded and made
prisoner at the defence of the bridge of Charenton in 1814,
a cultivator generally esteemed."
Another, "• cultivator of patriarchal morals, administers
with intelligence ; repaired a se.hoollouse at his own
expense ; loved and esteemed."
Another, devoted to his duties, males a noble use of
his fortune ; one of the most honoured men of the country."
Indeed, there is hardly one of the 64 veterans who is
not described as the model of every virtue personal Auld

on the bad, leaving him for dead. Returning to the roorr. of
M. Asses, they broke open the cupboard where the motry

it was found that his wounds were of a most dangemui
rider. He had been horribly ill•treated, and could sql,,t,
little. The body of M. Ames wee found near the door
of his room. The head was so mutilated that :le
features could not be recogniesd. The walls were sprinidal
with blood and braille. On Sunday morning a boy's erg,

' Pierre de Sodt, a former ner, who lived in the boiaeof
Van Der Zypsa. Severalgarmente of De Sodt were covered
with blood, ea ware also the trousers and the blouse of the
little Van Der Zypen, from which it is evident that this
child was present at the murder. It appeared from the
inquiry that Alois Van Der Zypen, 11 years of se,
penetrated by the roof into the house of R. Auer,
and opened the back door to the murderers. on
being interrogated with regard to the stains of blow
which were oheerved on his trousers, De Sodt replied that he
received the trousers from a man who sold red earth,
and that the stains came from that. But the little Vs.
Der Zypen dated that De Sodt was wrong, that he had ob.
Lined the trousers from 000 of his acquaintances at Stake.
Seeing that he bad twice committed himself in speeds;,
the boy would not answer any more questions. The police
are on the track of others."

them that it was an old English tune. After playing anal
tuna they were dismissed with great praise for their per-
formance, and a few days afterwards a beautiful bale
was presented to the lada of the bead by the orienel,
at the request of President Lincoln and at hie expellee.

DUMOLL4RD'3 LAM' BANQUET.

A French journal says :—" Dumollard and his
wife haying agreed to see each other, she was introduced
into his cell. He received her with icy coldness, but pre.
meetly they kissed each other. The chaplain treated them
to a supper consisting of bacon and sausage', black pud-
dings—which Dumollard had a great fancy for—mutton
chops, and roast meat. ' This is a fast day,' said the
priest, when the repast was put on the labia, ' but in this
conjuncture I will allow you to at whst is before you.'
Dumollard ate of every dish with that voracity which wee
habitual to him. His wife cried a good deal, and he fro•
qttently attempted to console her, saying, You
are wrong to take on so ; I don't care a bit.'
The priest carved for this extraordinary couple thus
feasting under such terrible circumstances, and when he
poured wine into their glares they clinked them
together, as the French custom is, instead of ' taking wine'
as people do, or at least used to do, in England. He gave
his wife a great deal of business.like advice. ' While you
are in tpriaon,' he said, the little money I leave will be
useful to you; get a little wine now and then from the can-
teen. When you come out do not go home ; your family and
the neighbours would receive you badly. I should recom•
mend you either to stop where you are or to go to Dijon..
He particularly enjoined her to look up a sum of 27 francs
which was due to him for cutting some grape vines. On
taking final leave of each other he kissed her and said good
bye quite in a matter of course way."

stranded on the rocks about a mile from Harrington. How
she came there must for ever be a matter of speculation,
as them were none of the crew left to tell the tale. his

DISSOLUTION OF THE PRUSSIAN
CHAMBERS.

BERLIN, XAscs 11.
The Chamber of Deputies was dissolved to-day
by s royal decree, countersigned by all the ministers
except H. Bethmaun Hollweg.
The Assembly separated with three cheers for the
King.

The Upper House immediately afterwards ad-
journed.

A Frankfort letter says :—" Some unesainess is
felt here at the present state of things at Berlin ;
it seems certain that, to prevent any surprise
from a popular movement, the government has
thought proper to take military measures of pre-
caution, by selecting certain points of the capital as
strategical positions, which the garrison will imme-
diately occupy on the first symptoms of any revolu-
tionary movement"
A letter from Berlin has the following :

A council of ministate wax held at the pnlaceoe the 4th,at
which his Majesty, the Crown Prince, and all the miaisters
. . .

were present. The question of dissolving the Chamber
was dimmed. It is positively known that all the minis-
ters have offered their resignations, but that the King has
not accepted them. The King insisted on the dissolution
of the Chamber, but the ministry again refused, declaring
that in the present state of public opinion a sew Chamber
would contain more liberal elements than themeless*. It was
at Let decided, on the proposition of the Crown Prince,
that the Chamber should be adjourned for six weeks. The
necessity for modifying timbal on the Budget will be the
pretext alleged for this measure, and it is hoped that in the
interval passions may be calmed down, and that the clues-
, lions of Electoral Timm and Denmark may take a favour-
, able turn so as to give the government a better standing
which may enable it to pass the military bills.
The Prussian Gazette, the official ministerial
journal, bee an article upon the present crisis, in
which it represents the immediate cause of the
resignation of the ministers as of minor import-
ance ; but the feeling of the chamber was such,
that resignation was only a question of time, and
the ministers preferred to withdraw upon a question
of form rather than after a serious conflict. The
King, however, refused to accept their resignation.

A letter in the Degas obser►es that the King is
in a singular state of mind. Having received a
purely military education, and having been habitu-
ated from infancy to exacting and minute obedience,
resistance of any kind which he experiences as a
constitutional King, either on the part of the
administration or on the part of the Chambers,
annoys him. Accordingly, he prefers to surround
himself with officers, and discusses the most im-
I portent political questions with members of his
I military cabinet. These tendencies give many
chances to the cause of reaction, which, moreover,
has the princes of the royal family in ,its favour.
" The hereditary prince alone appears to have
liberal tendencies."
