DRAMA.

ST. JAILS:IIk

The performances at this theatre were strength-
ened on Saturday night by the production of a drama in
two en* called The Dark Cloaut—the maiden work of
Mr. Rose—a gentleman already favourably known to the
public as an entertainer under the name of " Arthur
Sketehley." It gives us no new portrait. of character—no
new combinations of incident, no dialogue which is particu-
larly pointed, natural, or humorous; but it coutainea story
which, if somewhat involved, is sufficiently interesting in
its main features to bold the attention of as audience for a
couple of bourn. The author may claim a little indulgence
on the score of his inexperience as a dramatic writer, and
for not having started as a mechanical adapt from the
French. The management may also elaim some praise for
departing from the beaten track• in boldly producing a piece
which wee barked by no Parisian oertifiaate of success.
The acting throughout was in good tarts, sod 14 oop, or
two instances was very effective. Mime Herbert, as Caroline
Granville, threw all her cold grace into the part ; !dm.
Frank Matthews was broad, genial, and spirited as
M•lhb ; and Mine Cottrell, as Lady Granville, ;bowed
that her pretty doll•like face is not incapable of express-
ing varied feelings. Mr. • Arthur Stirling, as the coarse
ladventurer, Philip Anglia, deserves credit for a rough,
vigorous, but not too obtrusive personation of a thorough
scoundrel, and Mr. Frank Matthews, as l). Mlab, did
what little he had to do with glowing enjoyment. The
other leading characters were (Ned by Mr. Western and

Mr. Josephs.
The piece was very favourably received throughout by •
good audience, and the author, being loudly called for,
was led on by Mr. Frank Matthews, and bowed his scknow-
lodgments.

EITZAWOIII ESSCAPADI O A 01111grIL —A FRAI7D
SISOOLAALT PIREVINTISD.--0.9 day In the earlier part of
hat month. Mr Ballard, wine arid spirit merchant, of
Abingdon, bad cousion to seed by poet to London a cheque
for Iff odd, which retched its destination. It Amman
that last Saturday evening the " boots " at the Crowe and
Thistle Hotel was coming from the down express train, when
a respectablydremed person accosted bim, and asked him in
a commercially familiar manner if he was not the "boots."
The answer informed him be was, whet the stranger gave
him a cheque, and eked him to go to some shop and get
' it cubed, sod meet him with the money at the quarter to
eight o'clock train from the Abingdon terminus. " Boots "
being often sent on such errands, his suspicions were
not amused, and having something to convey down the
Oelnetreet, he did the cheque business on his way back,
calling first at the shop of Mr. Coxeter, and then at Mr.
0. Gas's, at neither of which he got the change, simply
because they bad not the amount of cash by them, or else
it was Inconvenient, and not from any suspicion about cash.
iag snob a respectably signed cheque. The next place, how.
Wes. was Mr. Ballard's, into whine hands "hoots" placed
the identical missing cheque above referred to ! Unluckily
the right move was not taken to get at the denouement of
this strange affair, and an opportunity of playing Mr. Com-
manila men an excellent checkmate game was lost. Mr.
Ballard unfortunately let the boy go, telling him he would
himself take the motley to the " gentleman," and for that
purpose be Immediately afterwards started. But in going
up the High-street, it seems " boots" was met by the
party, and asked whether he had got the money, and upon
being told that Mr. Ballard would himself meet him at the
'tattoo. and accommodate him with the amount, hur-
ried/7 thanked him, gave btu a shilling, and sloped.

ST. PAUL'S SPECIAL SERVICES.

I The special services at the cathedral were re-
snmed last evening, after rather more than the usual inter-1
val. There was a very considerable attendance, amongst
whom, however, bat few of the lower or lowest order of
society for whose benefit these services were originally de.
signed were observable ; but in their stead a congregation of
ladies and gentlemen whom the superior attraction, of St.
Paul's had probably drawn from the churches which they
usually attend. The service was choral, and in order to add
I to its effect the choir was strengthened by some hundreds of
volunteer voices. The responses were sung to Tallies music,
and the peel= in double chants. Canon Povah chanted
the prayers, and the Dean of St. Paul's read the lemons.
The sermon was preached by the Bishop of London, who
I took for his test the let Cor., c. 2, v. 13, " Which things
wespeak,not in the words which man's wisdom Macbeth,
bat which the Holy Ghost teacheth." Upon this and the
sth, 7th, 9th and 12th verses of the mine chapter, he
showed that the question of the divine inspiration of the
! writings of St. Paul was proved beyond doubt, and proceed-
ing from that foundation he logically and learnedly
showed that all the other books of the New Testament were
I. equally inspired, and if of the New, equally so of the Old,
which were received as inspired by the Jews, and by
. those Jews especially who were the first converts to
Christianity, and the truth of which was in fact set at
rest by the coming of Christ and the fulfilment of
prophecy. He did not deny the right of learned men, who,.
! User in or out of the church, to criticise chronological, ge-
t ; nealogicsJ, astronomical, geological, or other minor points
which might arise in the Scriptures, and upon which differ-
ence of opinion might be entertained ; these, however, were
• bat the mere casing, not the substance ; but he claimed that
all such criticisms should be entered into with that feeling
of pious awe which must arise from the settled conviction
that every page was inspired, and that the presence of God
was in the book.

The last vestige of the Mogul sovereignty in India has
jut passed away. The last King of Delhi has expired in
miserable exile, far away from the lard where his ancestors
ruled as Emperon ; and yet few, we believe, will give a tear
of pity to the end of that dynaity winch could bout of the
great MIDIS of Aurungzebe and Akbar, and fewer still will
waste their regrets upon the wretched imbecile who proved
• traitor to hie benefactors, and met with the just reward of
his follies and his crisis.

The appointment of Sir Charles Trevelyan as

AUSTRIA AND DENMARK.

The Pease of Vienna says that both the Austrian
and Prussian cabinets have sent a despatch to the
courts of London, Paris, and St. Petersburg ex-
pressing their joint determination to withhold from
King Christian IX. the entire benefit of the pro-
toool of London, save on condition that he fulfils
the engagements entered into in 1851 and 1852 by
the government of Copenhagen in favour of the
duchies.

The Paris Prase remarks ..—" The two great
German powers persist in putting forward the con-
stitutional question exclusively ; but Germany
pushes them on. The people and the deliberative
bodies proclaim the rights of the Duke of Augus-
tenburg. The Chamber of Deputies itself enters
into this movement. On Sunday next an immense
demonstration will take place at Frankfort, on the
part of delegates from the German parliaments,
who will proclaim the Pretender. Up to what
point will Prussia and Austria be able to resist this
current of public opinion 1"

larity. The trial of this case will be truly curious.
I should have thought that the Poet-of co was too
thick skinned to be sensitive on such a snore. K
Juke Ferry, of the Paris bar, is retained for the
defence.

There has been a serious fall at the Bourse,
owing, I presume, to the news from Denmark.

GREECE AND THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

From a review of the various public documents
relating to the cession of the lonian Islands it
appears that, prior to the conclusion of the
Treaty of the 14th November, no single stipulation
had been made indicating any reservation of the
complete and unlimited trsuefer of the lonian
Mande, with their fortifications, and their own
sovereignty and independence of action, to the new
kingdom of Greece.
It is a matter of some curiosity and importance
to consider what may be the effect of the provisions
of the protocol of the sth of June upon this state
of the question. In this protocol, the Danish
Court accepted the throne of Greece for Prince
William, on the distinct condition that "the
lonian Islands should be effectively united to
Greece." If the islands are " neutralized," and so i
deprived of the ordinarily effective condition of
independent states, it can hardly be said that the
conditions of the protocol are fulfilled.

FRANCE.
PARIS. Dec. 17, Evnueo.
In the Senate to-day the debate upon the ad-
dress was continued.

Upon the discussion of paragraph 6, referring to
the finances, and paragraph 7, respecting Mexico,
some observations were addressed to the house by
the Marquis de Boisay and the Marquis dais. Roche-
jaquelein.
M. Chaix d'Est Ange, the Procureur-Impirial,
in reply, stated that the government hoped soon to
see the establishment of a regular administration
in Mexico, and approached that object at a firm,
resolute, and rapid pate. (Great applause.)
Paragraphs 6 and 7 were then adopted.
Paragraph 8, treating of Poland and the Euro-
pean Congress, was next discussed.
M. 84gur d'Aguesseau expressed the profound
sympathy entertained by France for Poland—the
rampart of Europe against barbarian invasion. He
spoke of the cruelties of the Russians, and thought
that, in the event of Russia refusing to come to the
Congress, it was the duty of France to act, even if
alone. The speaker would have desired the para-
graph more strongly marked, and, in conclusion,
expressed entire confidence in the Emperor.
Marquis de la Rocbe.jaquelein protested against
the principle that it was the duty of France to go to
war for the Poles. France had embarked upon
sufficient adventures, and wished to engage in no
more. The part played by England in the negotia-
tions respecting Poland was to break off our
alliance with Russia. The Catholics who preached
war for Poland would be contented if the entry of
Victor Emmanuel into Rome were the prelude of
the campaign. The speaker contested the commis-
sion of cruelties upon the part of the Russians, and
condemned the secret government at Warsaw.
The debate will be continued to-morrow.

TO THZ HONOR OT TH2 ZIPBCBB.

Sirs,—We have the honour to inform yon that
the Light of the Age (passenger ship belonging to Mews.
Mackay and Co.) sailed the day before yesterday from the
East India Docks, carrying with it a consignment of five
variegated phesieu3te from this society to the Acclimatisa-
tion Society of Queensland.
The birds are caged in the manner which we think most
likely to engine their oafs delivery, an ample supply of food
and gravel has beers provided, and Captain Porter, who
commands the ship, and who has kindly interested himself
in the matter, helm very confident of beiag able to deliver
a fair proportion of them at Brisbane. The birds were pre-
'toted for the purpose by Higford Barr, Esq., of Aldermas-
ton-court, near Reading.
. . . .

By the 'Arisdne (ale; belonging to Messrs. Mackay, and
which sails within a month) a larger coesimireeet of pen
birds will be mot by the society to Quesesland, to which
his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. Lord Hill, C. Hombre,
Req., of Melton Abbey and odor members of the society,
have promised to onetribute.
The oraers have kindly premixed the use of a sable to
ascommodate these birds, mad there own be no doubt that
this will materially increase the chances of the safe arrival
of the birds, whose most fatal dangers arise from exposure
to the weather and the salt water. All who wish well to
oar Australian calcines will, we are sure, be glad to hear of
the safe arrival of these renigrauts, who will no doubt be
relearned on their !arrival far more cordially than the gaolbirds whom oar government has recently been sending to
Western Australia—We are, &c.„

ROUGH WEATHER IN THE NORTH SEA.

LOSS OF A BRIG AND ALL BANDS.
SHIELDS, TURRDAT.
The vessels recently arrived in our port from the
B,.ltic report that they have eocountered fmrfully ranch
weather in the North Sea. Not only gales of wind, but
storms of thunder and lightning ; and fears are enter* hied
for the safety of laden collier vemels which were out in
the storms. Som. pat ticulare have reached this pot t to-day
of the total lose of the collier brig Captain Dock of
North Shields, with all hands. This vessel left the Tyne
in the early port of the month for Hamburg. and she has
foundered in one of the gales off the comet of North Europe
The body other muster. Mr. Fisher, sod the bodies of some
of the crew have wished up on the Danish omit. The
master had his eldest moo on board the vessel with him,
and he is lost of course. His widow and another son are
lying dangerously ill at home, and the widow is not ex-
pected to recover. While the weather has been so rough
and stormy out at sea it has been tolerably tranquil upon
our coast, Torrents of rain must have fallen in the west of
Northumberland on Suodav, a. the Tyne is very much
Bolded, and some damage bee been done by the river rising
so rapidly, and by the strain ebb tides.

SCARBOROUGH, TUESDAY.
At an early bone yesterday morning, daring a heavy pl.
Irons the S.S.W., the schooner Maria, of Yarmouth, was
driven ashore oa the south point of Clougbtos Wyke, •
few mike north of Scarborough. The vessel was bound
from Newasatle to Cam. in France, with a cargo of cement
end erebrick• and while working up the coast, almost
against the vied, the master (Henry Sewell) unfortunately
kept too near the lead. said the schooner, wields( stays,
was driven upon the rocky beach. The master and crew,
considering themselves in imminent danger, availed them-
selves of a lull, during which they gained the share is their
small boat. They were speedily obliged to betake
themselves for shelter to the cliff above them, against
which the sea beats up at high water. Here they re-
mained from a little after midnight until about 8 o'clock in
the moot deplorable condition. The situatias of the miner
was even still worse. After reaching the cliff, he sodas.
vowed to return to the vessel. His crew positively refused
to accompaey him, and while proceeding alone in his
foolish attempt, he was carried in his boat by the wind and
surf to a reef of rocks, where he was obliged to remain for
several hours, exposed to aU the severity of the /tam.
Their positions were descried by a pining fishing 'Biecks
the crew of which, with much difficulty, rescued tee sof.
fours, who were is • benumbed sad exhausted condition.
The schooner has bees got off the rocks, but she is
greatly in jived.

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSH P.ST EET.

Joseph Wood.ll, about thirty-nvo years, a man who bad
apparently seen better days, was charged before Mr. Leigh
with defacing a wall under these circumstances.
. .

-
George Little, servant to a gentleman resident at Clanton,
hut whose same did not transpire, said—About hall-past
ten o'clock on Monday night my attention wau called to a
wall enclosing a geld belonging to my master. The words
"Try Wheeler's Rebus" were painted upon it in large
letters. On the previous day the wall was not defaced.
Mr. Safford, clack—Perhaps you:master gave perruimioa
do you know otherwise
Witness—l am quite certain that be would not allow say
" relish " on big walla.

Aspell, 76 /s —Shortly before the time spoken to by
last witness, I saw the defendant with a paint pot and
brush doing the work. le said that ho was not aware that
it was wrong.
Defendant—Nor did I. A short time since I met • man
in the London-fields, an entire stranger to me, and on telling
him that I was out of work, he promised to give me a job at
painting, if I would meet him by appointment. I did ea,
and he then gave me and others la. each for writing," Try
Wheeler's Relish" on three walls. I was glad of the trifle,
for I have a wife and family, but certainly would not have
done anything of the kind had I known it was likely to
bring me to grief. I now see the trick that has base
played me.
Defendant's statement, it is presumed, was not quite
satisfactory, for he was tined under the powers of the Po-
lice Act 20a, as caution to othen similari7 offending.
Not being able to pay, he was sent for 14 days in the House
of Correction.

JAPAN.

From Japan, the latest news is to the effect that
half of the British fleet had sailed for Kagosima,
which is in Kinsiu, the most southern of the four
islands which constitute the Japanese empire. It
is at Kagosima, near Cape Chikakoff, that
Prince Satsuma has a castle, and this it
is proposed to attack. The expedition sent
against it consists of seven vessels, while other
wren remain in harbour at Yokohama. The
rumours as to peremptory orders being issued from
Miako to exclude foreigners from the country still
continue, and changes have been made in the
government at Yedo, by which the party least
hostile to foreigners retires from office. The
Tycoon has returned to Ysdo by sea, and the
changes referred to have been made in accordance
with instructions he brought with him from Miako.
Another difficulty has arisen of a similar nature
to the " Mose" Que. A pianis party had gone to
the Kanasawa, and while these a Japanese moldier,
evidently disapproving of them, drew his sword,
upon which one of the party drew a revolver, and
shot him through the arm. The native authorities

may prevent the assemblage of this formidable
body of men ; but there are also events in proba-
