LITERATURE.

To-day. By JOHN HOLLINOSEELD. 2 volumes.
Groombridge and Sons.

Mr. Hollinphead has in these volumes collected
from magazines and journals to which he is a con-
tributor about eighty essays on the social pheno-
mena of the day. Those who are acquainted with
Mr. HoUingshead'e earlier published writings
know what they have to expect when he takes pen
in hand—great knowledge of the world, vigorous
thought, and a hatred of all false pretence. There
are some hard hits at popular weaknesses in these
volumes, and some amusing exposures of the
classes who live by pandering to them. There are
very few readers whom these volumes would not
instruct, and none whom they would not amuse.
In our judgment, " To-day" is the best of Mr.
Hollingshead's published works.

DRAMA.

ADELPIIL

A slight piece of absurdity, intended to ridicule
the spiritual pretensions of the Davenport Brothers, was
produced at this house last night, some time between eleven
o'clock and midnight. The author is Mr. Stirling Coyne ;
the farce is called Dark Doings in the ettphoard by Me
Knotting 'em Brother,. The humour is nearly all of a prat.
tical order, and Mr. Toole plays the chief character. alias
Woolgar helps to give value to the trifle by appearing as a
servant-girl, and both these excellent scion, as usual,
worked very hard for their author. Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr.
Billington, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Stephenson, and Mies Seeman
are thrown into the cast, but they have little to do that
might not have been done by supernumeraries. The piece
nomea a little late is the day, whoa the juggle it is intended
to ridicule has lost its novelty.

Applicant—l have no proof of that, but I should state
that it was removed from my house some time before my

it bad been sent to the maker to repair, but that was not
true, for the maker is here to contradict IL
Mr. Norton—Well, if the instrument had been pledged
by direction of yoorwife you cannot punish her or compel
the pawnbroker to give it up. Your wife acted as your
agent in the matter, and the only thing I can advise you to
dos to go to the pawnbroker and make terms with him.
He may, perhaps, give it up to you oa the payment of the
matey he advanced on it, with the interest. The pawn-
broker, I find, lives in Fleet-street, and out of my juridic-

THE SLESWIG INVASION.

It is stated that a council of war, at which
Marshal Wrangel, General Baron de Gablenz, and
five princes of the Prussian royal family were pre-
*out, it was admitted that the fortresses of Dappel
and Fredericia could not be taken by assault. A
decision was consequently come to that those two
places must be regularly besieged. The siege
artillery has arrived before Duppel. The Prussians
have had much difficulty in bringing it to the
spot, and all the draught horses which could be
found in the country were put into requisition, the
roads being in the moat dreadful condition.
The most arbitrary proceedings on the part of
the Prussians towards the inhabitants of the
Duchies are constantly mentioned in letters from
Denmark. Several have been shot on the pretext
of their being spies ; peasants are seized on and
compelled to serve is the ranks of the enemy's army,
and both the civil and military authories transform
the Duchies into a conquered country. To the
measures previously adopted relative to the use of
the Danish language, the suppression of Danish
flags, and the removal of the royal escutcheons, is
now added the interdiction of prayers for the King
in all the churches of Sleswig.

DENMARK AND GERMANY.

The End of ELLENBOBOUCH—I wish to give notice
that on the motion for the adjournment of the house ou
Friday next I shall cat! the attention of your lordships to
the actual state of affairs between Germany and Denmark.
As the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs is not
present, I beg to ask the noble duke opposite whether the
identical note which appears in the newspapers to-day from
Austria and Prussia, mating au amended proposition rela-
tive to an armistice and a confwenos, is authentic. The
difference between what is now understood and the proposi-
tion which was formerly made is, that whilst the latter was
a separate proposition on the part of Prussia on the one
hand and of Austria co the other, the note now published
is an identical proposition on the part of both—that Des-
mar's may elect either to have an armistice, provided there
is a mutual evacuation of Alien on her part and of Jutland
on the part of the allies, or an armistice upon the basis
of the uti possiditia—that is, to the effect that hostilities
cease, that the prizes taken on both &ides be restored,
and that the embargo on chips be altogether removed.
Now, supposing this to be authentic. I must express my
Gannet hope that t►e Danish government will accept the
proposition of the armistice on the buffs of the eta possi.
date. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the operations at
sea, I think it very probable that at the present moment the
Danes have • temporary advantage, bat great questions
must be decided upon great and riot upon little views. It
is not probable that any advantages which Denmark may
gain at sea can have any effect on the ultimate result of the
war, and therefore I trust she will agree to that condition
also, and that we shall have the happiness to see the great
powers of Europe assembled in conference with an armistice
established, for without the establishment of an armistice
there can be no hope of any successful result from the
conference. (Hear, hear.) I do hope, at the same time,
that when Austria and Prussia conceded that identical note
they at the e.me time forwarded • telegraphic despatch to
Marshal Wrangel, directing him not to commit the army to
any further military operations, for it would be a most
criminal act if, while they held out the hope of a settle-
ment, they were to endanger the lives of more men than
have unhappily already fallen in this most unrighteous war.
(Hear, hear.)
The Duke of SOMERSET—In the atones of my noble
friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs I may state, with-
out vouching for the exact words of the note published to.
day in the Morning Poet, that the statement made is sub-
stantially correct. It might be inconvenient for me to give
any further answer to the question.
On the motion of the Loan CHANCELLOR the Insane

would be wading the time of the house if he sated it to
&arum the question again until the government had had
an opportunity of giving effect to last year's resolution.
Under titers circumstances he should ask leave to postpone
his motion until after the financial statement of the Chin.

BRADFORD RESERVOIR,

---
Mr. FEItRAND asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Departroeut if be would direct the
engieeer appointed to examine the Bradfield reser-
voir to visit and report upon the Doepark re-
servoir, belonging to the corporation of Bradford,
which was in leaky sod dangerous state. The hoe.
member said that be had last year called the attention of
the tight boo. gentleruau to the dangerous state of this
reservoir, when the right boo. gentleman communicated
with the Mayor of Bradford, the reservoir being the property
of the corporatioo. The answer of the latter was that
care should he taken to preclude the possibility
of accident, but since then the reservoir had bee.
repeatedly filled, and the lives of the iehabitaate was in
consequeuce in imminent peril. He (Mr. Fermat) saw the
reservoir about a month since, when it was leaking in three
places. (Interruption, sod cries of "Order.") He thought
that after what lied happened at Sheffield—Near, bowl—
he might be permitted to add a few words is sepia:tetras of
his question. A month sines he saw this reservoir when it
was quite full and leaking in three places, sae einem being
sufficient to work a large mall. He now asked whether the
right bon. gentleman would be se goad as to send the en-
gineer who bad been despatched to Sheffield oo to Bradford, ,1
which wee oely a few miles distant, with orders to report on
the date of the reservoir at that place.

The two great symphonies of Nowt and Beethoven,
each of them a chef d'auvre of in author, are well known
to the habitats of the Philharmonic Concern, but they—
the latter eepecially—are works which no amount of rep•
tition can ever render trite or [anther, for at each noose-
dye hearing fresh beauties dieclose themselves. if. Vieux-
temps' performance of De [tenet's coneerto wee
the most brilliant appearance made by this peat
violinist during his present visit to Loads., which, we
regret to say, has now oome to an 'ed.
The vocal mink, consisting wholly of part any without
instrumental accompaniment, was a departure from the
established usage of the Philharmonic Concerts. It wee
an experiment, and so successful a one that, we tract, it
will soon be repeated. The Orpheus Glee U.S. is a body
of most accomplished performers. They sing with a purity
of tone, truth of intonation, ninon of effect, delneey and
expression not excelled by any German Bingen that we have
ever hard. Their part-songs were charming specimens of
vocal harmony, and the andiron, by the warmth of their
applause, showed that they were delighted with a kind et
entertainment new at the Philliarminic Cowierta.

ITALY.

A Turin letter, in the Solid Public of Lyons,
says:—"l have just seen two autograph letters
from his Majesty the Emperor of the French ; one
of them addressed to Count Alfieri, President of
the Italian National Association, and the other to
M. Buscaglioni, secretary of the same association.
Both those letters breathe nearly the same spirit
as that recently published by the Discustione.
But, if the spirit is the same, the form of the two
to which I allude is far more expressive of sym-
pathy for the cause of Italy. The vei f few persons
favoured with a perusal of those letters have been
the more impressed by them that doubts are at
times entertained here as to whether France would
be with us in certain eventualities. The opinion of
these persons is now unanimous that the work of
completing Italian unity is one of the things which
the Emperor of the French has most at heart."

NEW ROYALTY.

tent with following the usual routine of producing • single
novelty for the arousenteot of the holiday-makers, has
made the hold experiment of presenang • trilogy

is not in the three novelties produced last night
at the New Royalty that unity of idea which
pervaded the trilogies."' the ancient* bat it is by no means
estiaan that Mrs. Selby has not done much better by vary-

DILITRY-LitNE-

The production of the First Part of ll'ary
Astra at this theatre, with Mr. Phelps in the character at
Falstaff, with • 'metal east of characters in some respects
above tie arsine, and with all those acetic accessorise
which have distinguished the Shakesperian revivals at
Seder's Wells and the Princess's during the last tee or
fifteen years, is • somewhat unusual dramatic event to
chronicle on an Easter Monday.
The coat of the characters at Drary.lane, excepting Mr.
Phelps and Mr. Walter Lacy, is what may be called • fair
marketable met. There is nothing great in it, and there is
such that is faulty is it ; but the faults are less faults of
individuals than fauna of abed dramatic school.

Knowing how much the stage is in want of "new
blood," we have every disposition to welcome an actor
with the greet personal gift, and evident intelligence and
gentlemanly bearing of Mr Montgomery, but we cannot
conscientiously do so while he adopts all these vices of a
style which not even the Kembles could make endurable.
The merits of Mr. Phelps's Falstaff are too well known to
need any detailed criticism. It is not a broad, juicy render-
ing of the character—it is somewhat thin, except in padding,
bet no point in the character is deadened for want of elabo-
ration. It has this virtue—it is Falstaff, and not a talking
machine. The cowardice is well brought out ;so are the
rascality, meanness, selftshnesa, and love of bragging.
The scenery by Mr. Beverley is a great assistance to the
drama. The Gadahill landscape, lighted by the moon, wan
meet effective, and the rme may be said of the
Rochester Inn, and the interior of the Boar's Head Tavern,
in Fastcheap. The home was densely crowded, sad the
audience appeared to be delighted with everything sad
everybody.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

Despite the threatening aspect of the weather
yesterday morning, the numerous attractions offered at this
place of ever-varying entertainment drew together many
thousands of holiday-makers, though the number was said
to be considerably lam than on Good Friday. The announce-
ment that Wombwell's Royal Menagerie would be exhibited
in the grounds was of itself entficieet to lead to profitable
results; but this never-ending attraction was strengthened
by such a variety of miscellaneous entertainments as the
most exacting of sightseers could not fail to be pleased
with. Amongst the leading features in the programme
may be mentioned the " Whimsical Eccentricities of Orville
Parker, Negro Instrumentalist, Vocalist, and Dancer ;"
the " Magnet of Attraction, Les Quatres Pierrots, whose
performances with violins, side-drums, he., have
been the theme of admiration throughout the continenti
the terpsichorean achievements of "The D'Aubans," the
feats of " Ben Achmet, the Arabian Juggler," the pasture-
making evolutions of the " latent Polanders," and the
"Athletic exercises of the renowned Brothers Nelson."
The great source of attraction, however, was evidently the
exhibition of the renowned stow of wild animals, many of
which are so far tame, that they went through a series of
performances in the gentlest possible manner.
