ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.— The
Liverpool Albion of yesterday lays:—" An address to the
Queen, praying for tke remission of the capital sentence
recently pared in this town on two individuals loft for
execution, is now in course of signature. In the case of
I Speed, the memorialists point to the absence of malice, and
to the fact of his being • sober and industrious man, who
was impelled to the act by the desire to save his children
from misery. The case of the other culprit, for the murder
of his wife, is not al4pded to. The memorialists say, ' That
to the deprased pof of the witnesses of the execution
(and it is to be feared that this class is particularly attracted
to such scenes) your petitioners feel that the sacredness of
human life is rather denied than affirmed by its deliberate
public extinction, and that familiarity with the spectacle of
violent death feeds the brutality which would lead to the
commission of murder.'"

THE RECTOR OF BOTHAL AND ate CLEIK.—A
ease came on for trial at the County Court at Morpeth last
week, which excited considerable interest. It was an action
brought by Henry James, clerk and sexton of the chapelry
of Behrens, against the rector of Bothal, for nne and a half
year's payment due to him for him services, from May, 1846,
to Nov., 1847. The family of James have held the situation
.for 165 years. The plaintiff in this action succeeded his
father in the office, and has performed its duties for a num-
ber of years, receieieg annually for such dutiee, from the
rector for the time being, the sum of 31. in money ; three
loads of coals, valued at 12a. ; and the grass of the
churchyard, valued at 21. Ba. , making altogether the
sum of 61. These were immemorial payments, and
the plaintiff received them regularly from the late
rector, Mr. Parry, and from his predecessors Ike
late Mr. Otter, and who also made the plaintiff a present
of some small dues or customary payments which he had
the trouble of collecting annually. Mr. Hopwood, the de-
fendant, succeeded to the living about the close of the year
1845 ; and shortly after his arrival, Mr. James, " being in
want of money," waited upon him for a little money, in an.
ticipation of his salary due at the ensuing May. He then
received 31., being in full up to May. The money payments
61100 become due the defendant bad refused to pay—with-
held the usual supply of coals—and made a present of the
grass crop to his curate ; and he was consequently sum-
moned to show cause why the labourer was not to have hie
hire.—Mr Charlton appesred for the plaintiff, and the rector
conducted his own defence,—The defendant denied the exiet-
ence of the debt. He proceeded to argue that the plaintiff
could claim only en the ground of a contract, expressed or
implied, or on the ground of prescription. That lie bad
never engaged the services of the plaintiff, nor kad he made
him any payment on account of such services. That it was
true, as stated by the plaintiff, that he had given him money
at the does of the year 1845, and that he subsequently
handed to his curate, the Rev. Mr. Maughan, 11. (the
amount of the small dues before mentioned) to give to the
plaintiff ; but these were mere " gratuities," Ind not in pay-
ment of any services. That the plaintifre conduct had not
been such as to meet kis approbation, and he bad disco.-
tinned them " gratuities." The reverend defendant here
Galled Mr. Meaghan, to prove the gift of the 11. (a fact not
denied) and the witness stated, that by direction of Mr.
Harmed, he had paid 19e. tq the master of the rector's

school, for the schooling of plaintiff's children, and the
other le. to the plaintiff.—Mr. Charlton erces-examined Mr•
Maughao, who admitted that the plaintiff had regularly
performed the duties of clerk and sexton during the time
Mr. Hopwood had been rector of Bothal, and that the pay
' was too mall for the duties of the office. That he always
understood that the plaintiff had about 201. a year, and even
that sum be considered small enough for the services he had
to perform—The judge remarked that he considered the
plaintiffs claim a good one. These payments had been im-
memorially made to the clerk ; and the fact of the defendant
having made the plaintiff one payment, and not having
served any legal notice upon him to quit the office, fur-
nished sufficient evidence of an implied contract. He should
therefore make an order for the year's payment dae at May
last. The half year he could not include in the order, as
the plaintiff was paid annually, at May, and his right of
action for the current year would not accrue till then. The
Newcastle Guardian adds to its report of this case that the
rector hail James, the clerk, forcibly ejected from the cottage
which his family bad occupied from time immemorial. The
rector of Botbaf receives annually for his services 1,8001.;
James, his clerk, claims the sum of 61. for • year's serviee,
and is met with a plea of " not indebted."

SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION OF A BUILDING SO-
ciwnr.-So many thousand persons, in various parts of the
country, are now interested in building societies, that the
following report of the satisfactory termination of one of these
speculations deserves attention The Carlisle Borough
Building Society " (aye the local paper), " established on
the 27th of March, 1837, has just closed its opetations-the
laws which constituted it having been fully complied with.
On Monday evening last the members dined together, to
celebrate in termination. The chair was ably filled by Mr.
W. Farrar, the president of the society ; and Mr. P. Gard-
ner, the secretary, was appointed vice. It appeared, from
statements made at the meeting, that the society was esta-
blished for the purpose of mutually assisting its member' to
obtain for each other small freehold properties. To carry out
this intention the shares were apportioned at 1201. each,
members not being allowed to take more than three shares,
upon each of which the sum of 2s. 6d. per week, or 105.
every four weeks, was required to be paid. In the first
year the shares amounted to 120; but at the close, on Mon-
day last, this number had dwindled down to 651-the re-
mainder having been either withdrawn, or, having built,
found it convenient to repay the society its advances.
The greater number appeared to have been withdrawn,
the society in its fifth year tidying passed a rule allow-
ing members, on withdrawal, to receive one-third of
the declared profits. By this deviation from the original
rides, not only were several of the members benefited, but
1 the society received in profit thereby the sum of 29 ff. 10s
being the two-thirds left by those members who withdrew
, their shares. The society continued in operation from
' March, 1837, when the first payment was made, to Dec.
20, 1847, being a period of ten years and eleven months ;
but in March, 1845, it was agreed to double the amount of
the subscriptions, and pay 11. on each share every four
weeks in place of the original sum of 10s., consequently
shortening the existence of the society, which otherwise,
with single payments, would have run about thirteen years.
The total receipt.' have been 11,0711.85., accumulated in the
following manner :
Subscripticas, toe per month, 7,2601. Its. 7d.; Interest paid by
members, 2,5944. Ba.
Os. 7d. lOd.; Interest from bank, 831. Bd. ; flnea
from members, Int. ; premiums on 51 shores, 215/. 15s. lid.;
members paying off society, 9271. 6s. 41d. ; deposits on 120 shares, Is.
each, M. ; plus cosh, 11. ; total, 11,0711. Sa.
The uninitiated may perhaps be, glad to know how the
"interest " and " premiums" are raised. When Csufficient
sum of money is accumulated to enable a share (1201.) to be
offered for salia, it is put up for competition amongst the
members, and the highest offer obtain" preference of the
. .
"vance ; 51 shares were disposed of to the manner, it pre-
minim varying fr.:, 1;;;Aos. to twopence-21.: 14.,;!..e.Vt Sums
being always obtained in the first and second years. In
several societies the premiums are fixed at a certain ratio, be.
aides being put up for competition ; but in the society just
concluded this was not the case. After 1841 the premiums
become nominal, and in 1844 the " ballot " compelling
members to take up their shares was resorted to. The profit
derived from premiums, as above stated, was 2151. 15s. lid.
The interest" is the principal item of profit, and is
thus obtained:-On members taking up their shares,
by building or purchasing property, the property is
under the member's own control, he building where
end in what manner he pleases-the same liberty is
granted to property purchased. The rents derivable from
such property is under the member's own control, be having
full and free enjoyment of the same. For these advantages
the society appoint certain members inspectors, having a
knowledge of the %eine of property, who must certify that
there is sufficient security in every building erected or pur-
chased for the amount of the advance made by the society.
Three months from the date of a member " taking up his
shares " he commences paying " interest " on the advance
obtained, which is at the rate of about 51 per cent., viz.:-
10s. on each share every four weeks-or his former payment
just doubled. The fines are accumulated in consequence of
members not complying with the rules. The 11. " plus-
cash" was received in May, 1842, and, in consequence of
inability to discover who had made the over-payment, it
was carried to the general fund. The disbursements, the
principal part in payment to builders, have been LI

The sum of 1,7851. was paid to members who had not par
chased sr built property, and whe bad allowed their cash to-
remain in the hands of the society till its close, they receiving
24 per cent. for the money thus left, which is described
under the head "returned interest." The 371. 10s. set
down to Gate's assignees was a loss sustained by the so-
ciety through one of its members, and the only loss
which took place ; and a knowledge of the manner in.
which it occurred may not only be useful but interesting to
similar societies. A member, havingliurehased his shares,
offered in security for the advance certain property, which
was approved of by the inspectors; a cheque for the amount
was placed in the hands of two of the committee appointed to
pay the cash and to obtain possession of the deeds securing
the property upon trust to the society, in accordance with
the rules. The purchase money being 751. store than the
advance from the society, the select committee, along with
the purchaser, met Mr. W. N. Hodgson, then practising
as an attorney, who was seat for Mr. Gate's assignees.
and tendered him the society's cheque; the purchaser
giving a cheque for the additional money, which was
accepted, and the deeds deposited for the society in
the office of the solicitor to the dean and chapter to
be "surrendered " in their court. On the cheques being
presented at the bank, the member's (751.) was dishonoured,
on which Mr. Hodgson hastened to the office where the
deeds had been left, and obtained them without any intima-
tion thereof having been given to the society, for whom they
were lodged ; and who, on its coming to their knowledge,
applied to have them returned ; but Mr. Hodgson refused
to give them up, declaring that he had a " lien " on the
property, notwithstanding his having accepted the cheque,
and parted with the deeds. After much delay and incon-
venience to the society, Mr. Hodgson prepared a "case" for
the opinion of counsel, which he said was in his favour.
The officers of the society, after frequent interviews and con-
sultation with legal advisers although convinced of the jus-
tice and legality of their claim, considered it safest for them
not to enter into a protracted and expensive lawsuit,
and on offering to divide the low with Mr. Hodgson,
their offer was at once accepted, the society being left minus
the deeds and 371. 105., with the exception of a trifling inte-
rest in the shares which the member held in the society. The
amount paid by each member in monthly subscriptions has
been 831.55. 6d. ; and the profits upon the same have been
361.145. 6d. which makes up each share to the sum of 1201.
After several toasts had been proposed, and songs sung, the
party separated, apparently highly delighted with the even-
ing's proceedings and proud of having pawned= of the
" parchments" which secured to each the enjoyment of the
property they. had been enabled to acquire by industry and
frugality during a period of eleven years.
SU4SEX.
RYE ELEcrios--On Thursday Mr. H. M. Curteia
was returned without opposition as the parliamentary repre-
sentative of Rye, in place of his father, H. B. Cartels, Esq.
deceased. The Brighton Herald says :-" A hand-bill has
since been published, signed Thomas Jenner,' stating that
he has been called upon testate why a Mr. Vance bad neither
made his appearance nor been nominated. The reason as-
signed by Mr. Jenner is, that Mr. Vanes was deeply engaged
in business in Dublin, and the shortness of the time affinded
to elect a representative precluded the possibility of that gen-
tleman reaching Rye in time to wait upon the electors, or to
contest the borough. Mr. Jenner adds, however, that he
had been fully authorised by Mr. Vance to put him in nomi-
nation; but that he (Mr. Jenner) had since ascertained
from ' eminent counsel' that the notice of the election was
too short, and, therefore defective and void. It is said,
also, that a petition has been got up, signed, and will be
presented against the return as soon as parliament re-
asaembles.',

WILTSHIRE.
CALNE ELECTlON.—Yesterday the election of a
member for this borough took place, the Earl of Shel-
burne, the fernier representative, having recently been ap-
pointed one of the fords of the treasury, and thus vacated
his seat. The usual forms having been gone through, Dr.
°MIME Forma the Bad of tileelberse se a fit and proper

MF...‘

person to fill the office of representative of the' borough.
Be bad been preperly declared by the constitution of the
country as ineligihle la retain his Nat in parliament, Once
his appointment so an officer of the crown, unless re-elected
by the suffrages of the constituency. It believed them to
. consider, therefore, whether, since his appointment, he was
More or lees likely to perform the duties of their repre-
'mutative than before his connection with the government.
"It was his opinion that Lord Shelburne was fully as capable
as before, and that he would now give is unbiassed a vote
nson any questioa as previous to his appointment to office
lordship His had, by his past conduct, given them reason to
believe that kis future actions would be in accordance with
the line of conduct pursued by the present ministry. On
the question of education the government had given the
country cause for the greatest satisfaction; in the edam-
Ronal measure his lordship had entirely concurred. There
was another question, that of the sanitary condition of the
country, which was now coming forward for consideration.
This was a matter which affected them all, and be hoped
that social reforms would be carried out to prevent the
progress of fever and disease, end that the pre-
sent ministry would be assisted in their endeavours
to promote the health and comfort of the community. The
speaker concluded by proposing the noble lord so the mem-
ber for the borough.—Mr. 1. N. Ladd seconded the nomina-
tion in is brief speech, in whick he referred to the many
eminent men who had represented Caine in past years, and
spoke of the high claims which a scion of the house of
Lansdowne had upon their suffrages. No other member being
the mayor at once declared the Earl of Shelburne to
purposed
elected.—The Earl of Shelburne then came forward
and addressed the assemblage. When be last appeared
before them he could not have supposed that he should
again have to stand there in his present agreeable posi-
tion—agreeable because he was both a successful and
Unopposed candidate. Oa that occasion he represented
himself "'hat he then and still felt himself to be—a
supporter of her Majesty'. government. Having been ap-
pointed a member of that government himself, he felt it his
duty more strongly than ever to support them. Had he not
had the greatest confidence in that government he should
not bare considered himself at liberty to accept office in con-
nexion with them. So, he said, in speaking of the future,
that no love of place should induce him to continue in office,
unless he could conscientiously act in conjunction with them.
It would be impossible that any government should not dif-
fer upon some minor detail., but if they agreed upon general
principles that. was sufficient. As to making slight sacrifices,
dist must be done with all beetles of men who act together.
There would, however, be no difficulty for an honourable
man to say when such a sacrifice should cease to be made.
He hoped and believed that they would not consider him the
lees fit to represent them in consequence of his holding a situ-
ation under the crown. The noble earl then referred to the
late session of parliament. Those topics had received atten-
tion which they Sall knew would come before the new
parliament. There had been only one subject which had
been followed by any immediate result—the bill introduced
for the protection of life and property in Ireland. Oa that
bill parliament had came to an almost unanimous conclusion,
and had shown, that while on one hand they could untie
their purse-strings for the relief of the sufferers, they could
on the other devise plane to suppress those outrages which
disgraced the slittr kingdom. Throe outrages had been
accompanied by. circumstances of a peculiar nature. Who
were the amasunators ? In many cases the most atrocious
ofmen—those who for mere love of filthy lucre destroyed
the !lees their fellow-beings. The parties usassinated, too,
were often the kindest landlords in the country ; and, worst
of all, even the altars had been desecrated by such denuncia-
tions as had, he feared, led to murder. These circumstances
made it impossible for them to paw a measure toe readily.
Many supposed that remises not to be sufficiently stringent ;
but had a more sweeping one been introduced they would not
have been able to carry it through the various stages with-
out great opposition and much delay. Referring to the
question of free trade, he expressed himself willing to sup-
port any measure in that direction not affecting the public
revenue in too great a degree. The late measures carried
into effect had not been sufficiently tried to test their value,
but be believed they would be productive of all the benefits
which had been ascribed to them. The noble lord then
made a short reference to the subjects of education and sani-
tary reform, in which he felt deeply interested; and express-
tug himself ready to do all in his power for the local as well
as general interest. of his constituents, he concluded amidst
loud cheering.—A vote of thanks was then passed to the
Mayor, and after cheers had been given for the Queen and
the ladies (many of whom, including Ladies Shelburne and
Merry, were present), the assemblage separated.

THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES.
DECRY-LANE.—The Christmas entertains

this theatre last evening consisted of the third representa-
tion of Belie'. opera, " 1 he Maid of Honour," and of • new
pantomime, called "Friar Rush, or Harlequin and King
Gold." The house was quite full from the beginning of
the Corning; and, there being no half-price. there was
none of the uproariousness which generally attends the
entertainments of " boxing night." The opera was excel-
lently performed and well received. Mies Birch, Misshfiran,
and Mr. Reeves, were warmly applauded, and, as well as Mr.
Belie, were celled for at the conclusion of the pie's. The
pantomime was by ea means so successful. It was finer-
newly long, and before the close the audience exhibited
signs of something more than weariness. Of the introduc-
tory part, from which the piece derives its tide, we confess
ouirlres unable to give any socc-aot, for though we studied
• .. . ...... neinfully.and laboriously. we could

we read ; indeed we found OS in the " Critic ") that" toe
interpreter was the harder of the two to understand." All
we can say is, that the rise of the curtain diesloeed a very
beautiful scene of a moonlit sea-beach; stars descended
from the sky, in the shape of opera girls, who formed pretty
deuces; • little child declaimed certain rhymes; and a
gorgeous figure, yellow from top to toe, made his appear-
ance, riding on a deagon in the shape of a locomotive engine.
This was King Gold,who talked satirically of kis all pervading
power, and offered his assistance to a certain baron in his love
affair with a damsel who ps °tarred another swain. The lovers
had eloped; and, in the weal manner of pantomimes, they
were converted into Harlequin and Columbine, while their
pursuers became the Clown and Pantaloon. A series of
scenes, tricks, and transformations followed, containing many
allusions to the gossip of the day; but neither the tricks nor
the allusions, generally speaking, told upon the audience.
Most of the tricko were weeded jokes, or • threadbare kind
—cuffs, kicks, and other manual witticisms, leaps through
windows, dc. Many of the transformations failed, owing to
the &receive workiog of the machinery ; and scenes, evidently
meant to be funny, were suddenly brought to a lame and
impotent conclusion. The most successful trick was one in
which the ClOlOll and Pantaloon, catching Harlequin in a
house, throw him into • well ; they afterwards pump water
from hint° • tub ; the water burns their fingers, and, setting
down the tub, Harlequin springs out of it. The most lively
scene was the port of Boulogne, with travellers landing from
packets, " touters" plying for customers to the hotels, and
custom-house oflioers searching for contraband good, ,the whole
ending with a French ieseuie in the most approved style.
In this there was much gaiety and animation. The purchase
of Shakspeare's house was an obvious and lair enough sub-
ject for joke in a piece of this kind ; but nothing could be
flatter than this attempt at satire. Another (evious subject,
the Lind mania, was also handled. People were paraded
carrying flags with " Lind boots," and " Lind butter;" a
great cage was brought in containing "the Swedish
nightingale," a little girl dressed like Jenny Lind in the
" Figlia del Reggimento," come. out of the cage and
mimics the Ringing of the famous air, " V;vn is
patria." The poor child did her best, and it was impossible
to bestow any disapprobation on her. Mr. Harvey was light
and active as Harlequin, and Miss Waite, as Columbine,
looked pretty and deuced gracefully. The Clown and Pan.
taloon were so-so. Some of the scenery was magnificent,
and the piece must evidently have been got up at a great
expense. It went off with extreme coldness ; the audience
for the'enost part preserved a profound silence till the fall of
the curtain, when expressions of disapprobation had a de.
ceded preponderance.
HATuAnarr.—The Christman piece here, entitled,
" The World Underground ; or, the 'Golden Flute and the
Brisson Waters," is a burlesquespectacle d la Planate, but it
went off, to our notion, very flatly, although aided most
materially by the performers. Perhaps, as a fair specimen
of the jocosity, and, at the same time, es an introduction to
the plot, we cannot do better than transfer the author's versi-

grand Christmas pantomime, entitled " Old Father Time,

by Mr. Rodwell, is well written and eflhciive. The story
runs thus:—The curtain on its rise discovers Old Father
Time, surrounded by his work-girls and slaves, the twelve
hours. By the aid of a gigantic telescope he takes a peep
into futurity, and prognosticates some eepecia I wonden which
time will bring forth. The not lewt astounding of these is—
The time will coma when wives shall new to scold,
And nenneyinnian bonds he paid In gold.

quarters, assigning one to each of his offspring. Sp-ing
takes precedence, and introduces the audience to the " Banks
of the Blue Moselle," where the Baron Von Maidenkeller
(Mr. Paulo) arrives, with his suite, to demand the hand of
the fair Jeannette. His suit is favoured by the Jolly Miller
(Mr. Dormers); is, of course, resisted by Philip the Fal-
coner, and eventually, after a bustling scene, her abduction
by the Baron is effected. Spring invites the youth to follow
in pursuit. They trace the fugitives to the Bower of
Love, where they are received by Summer, whim aids in their
escape. Autumn follows in the train, and presides
at a festive gala et a viaeyard on the Rhine.
The fifth scene brings us to the abode of IVinter, I
and here the pantomimic changes take place. Philip be-
comes Harlequin; the Baron, Pantaloon; the Jolly Miller,
Clown ; and Jeannette, Columbine, Here the extravaganza,
arranged bbri Mr.
oek Emden, begins, and with it all the buffet-
tram , and contortions incidental to pantomime.
There was a of novelty in the tricks, and many of the
best-intended hung fire. it is but just to my that the
scenery, by Mr. Brunning, is really beautiful ; the overture
and music, selected and arranged by-Mr. Loder, were admi-
rable; and the pantomimists, sided by M. Silrani, as a
sprite, exerted themselves to the utmost. The success of the
piece was equivocal, but, with some judicious pruning, it
may serve its turn. The dull, heavy tragedy of "The
Gamester " preceded the pantomime. The house was well
attended in the pit and galleries, but the dress circle was
scantily supplied with holiday seekers.
LYCEEM.—This theatre offered last night to
its patrons au entertainment, written by Mr. Planate, and
put into scenic action by Madame Vestris. It presented nearly
every attraction which so effective a combination of talent
promised. The basis of the piece was, as usual, one of those
light though pleasing pictures of fairy life which were
imagined and realised (on paper) by Madame d'Anois. The
subject chosen was "Le Rameau d'Or "—not the most
dramatic of them, but, probably, the best of those which
have been left for the touch of a dramatic author, after the
repeated drafts upon the same treasury have been duly
honoured. The story, which has been slightly altered to
suit dramatic conventionalities, turns upon the machinations
of a wizard and his sister, Ifuniguffin, (F. Matthews), and
Mandradoro, (Mrs. *ennapiara), aided by Bliseruino (Mr.
Marsh ), and opposed by a benevolent fairy, Pastorella (Miss
Marshall) to throw into confusion and dismay certain royal
personages, who have opposed their unhallowed designs. The
first scene of" The Golden Branch," for that is the title of the
piece, is in the Wizard's laboratory, where, with an eye to
the " spirit of the age," the author introduces a distillery
of all kinds of ardent spirits—" blue, white, and gray," upon
the abuse of which the scene is a sort of tacit censure. After
some very clever diabolical dancing, by Mr. Marshall (who
bids fair to replace Wieland), the Wizard divulges the fact
that he has cut into a slumber, which is to last 200 years,
Queen Benignanea (Miss Gougenheim), whilst his agreeable
sister the Witch has transformed into an eagle, for a like
period, the Queen's lover, Tranaimenus (Miss Fair-
brother). The second scene opens at the conclusion
of the two centuries of quasi existence to which
the two lovers have been doomed. King Brown
is discovered seated in what, as well from his position as the
colour of the room might be called a " brown study." He
is roused from his reverie by the entrance of sundry cour-
tiers, amongst whom Quiver (Harley), the captain of the
guard, is alone destined to cut a figure. Sundry jokes are
made, which serve as well to carry on the action of the drama
as to afford Mr. Hall an opportunity for introducing
his imitations of an "eminent tragedian," and which
were tolerably well received by the audience. King Brown
announces to Quiver his intention forthwith to secure the
perpetuation of his royal line by the marriage of his
son and heir, Prince Humpy (Miss K. Fitzwillism) to
the Princess Dumpy (Miss Howard), whose portrait having
been lubmitted to the prince is by him utterly disapproved
of, inasmuch as the young lady is of a form similar to that of
the once eelehrsted Miss Biffen. The disobedience of the
Prince enrages King Brown, and he causes the.youth to be
shut up in a tower, where the Fairy Paetortlla now com-
mences her operations for the relief of the sleeping and trans-
formed lovers, and for restoring them to each other, which
she effects by means of a golden branch from her fairy tree,
and as a reward to Prince Humpy for his agency, Pastorelles
converts both him and his rejected mistress into a shapely and
lovely couple. 'h" •9(1111 four by a timely marriage

of meat. Of the manner t
in which Mr. Planchi has worked up his materials it is
hardly necessary to say more than that he has availed himself
of all the current topics of the day to launch a 4oke, or to point
an allusion. A vast number of snatches of are, more or less
known, are introduced in the form of the French vaude-
villes. Some of them proved so attractive u to demand an
encore, particularly one respecting " Poor old Joe Miller,"
which was cleverly and humorously sung by MadameVestris.
The mice en scene, dresses, dances, and even the " properties,"
were, as usual, unexceptionable some of the scenes being
really charming. A long and productive run may be fairly
anticipated for " The Golden Branch," which, without giving
it undue praise, merits the approbation and applause of a
critic, not only on account of its pleasantness, but also be-
cause there is a certain vein of didactic morality running
through it which well befits the present time.
ADELPIIL—The holiday entertainments of the
Adelphi commenced yesterday evening with the recently
introduced spectacle of the "Pearl of the Ocean," and
finished, according to custom, with a pantomime, not, how-
ever, the time-honcured absurdity to which we have been
accustomed from our boyhood, but its Italian original,
" Pierrot, the Married Man," now for the first time intro-
duced into this country. The pieta was far from successful,
although the excellent pantomime of M. Paul Legend
was generally appreciated. In fact, the greater portion ap-
peared not to be understood by the audience, and what was un-
derstood was not approved of. The first act was witnessed with
much patience and frequent marks of approval; but when the
juveniles found it was not merely an introduction leading to
the usual hulequinade they exhibited their disappointment
in the most unequivocal manner. The second act, containing
scenes of a description rather new to the English stage, and
not very straight-laced in their morality, called down the
wrath of the elders, so that at the conclusion of the piece a
climax of disapprobation had been reached quite sufficient to
satisfy any manager u to the opinion of his public. As there
are probably many of our rea,:en who have not " swam in
• gondola,' or wintered at Naples for the purpose of seeing
Polichinello at home, we will give an outline of the enter-
tainment of last evening. The piece opens in the court-yard
of an Italian farm, quite sunny and southern, grapes cluster-
ing over trellis work in every direction. The farmer sets his
daughter, Pierrette, to work at her wheel, and the moment
he retires Pierrot himself. makes his appearance. His
spectral figure, white ell over, sadly puzzled the audience,
who at first took him for a ghat, but the excellent panto-
mime of M. Legrand, soon
.made his face beth familiar
and popultur. He marries Pierrette, and then in
comes Polieltinello to persecute him and supplant
hint in the affections of his wife. The scenes that
followed, being more in keeping with continental tastes than
our notions of propriety,:were loudly hissed, the actors lost
courage, and their pantomime became unintelligible. The
piece concludes with the discomfiture of Polichinello, the re-
conciliation of Pierre[ and Pierrette, and a grand tableau,
representing them sad a numerous progeny as a happy and
united family. Madame Celeste announced it for repetition
every evening until' further notice amidst loud and general
signs of disapprobation. The piece ia, however, a decided
novelty, and, pruned of its pruriencies, it may still find
the favour so lavishly bestowed on this successful theatre.
OLYMPIC.—Since this theatre was last opened, it
has been considerably and decided] y improved. The interior
has been entirely re-decorated: handsome tutees, which
diffuse a brilliant light throughout, have been added, and an
equable temperature adds considerably to the comfort of the
theatre, while a rich green velvet curtain adds to its beauty.
" The Rivals " was the first entertainment, and was on the
whole creditably performed. Mr. Davidge, who is described as
making his first appearance in London last night, rendered the
part of Sir Anthony Absolute with energy and discrimination.
The piece for the occasion, however, waa " The Plum Pudding
Pantomime • or, Harlequin and the British Lion." It.
staple was is;adeup of the late money panic—the British Lion
and Britannia being represented as put to right by the
Demon Panic and shipwrecked, but driven at last on the
friendly and hospitable coast of "Plum Pudding Island,"
where they meet as fellow guests those well known characters
Mr. Punch, Mrs. Camp and Mrs. Barrie, the two latter of
whom are sorely belaboured by the tall of the British
Lion. The overthrow of Panic and the glorious triumph of
the British Lion occur at the Palace of Twelfth Cake, imme-
diately after which a transformation of characters takes
place Mr. Jefferini being Clown, Mr. Charles Pantaloon,
Mr.C. Montgomery Harlequin, and Miss Laidlaw Columbine.
In the last scene, "The Hall of Empire." harmony is re-
, stored, and a heavy shower of silver and gold takes place.
The idea on which this:piece was founded is a good one, but
did not seem to be very successfully carried out. It was su-
premely grotesque, without much humour, and languished
to its finale without either disapprobation or applause. Those
. portions of the piece which depended for their manuss on me-
, chanieal arrangements were frequently ineffective, from went
of due preparation. The audience, however, were
to laugh ; and as the clever introduction to the printed
pro-
s
gramme stated that " the mailer laugh would be thank-
, fully received, " we hope there was sufficient reason given to
r be grateful. The theatre was pretty well attended, but not
so full as is usual on boxinginight.
SADLER'S WELLS.—The rush to this little theatre
yesterday evening was so great that many persona went
r away disappointed, not daring to endure the requisite degree ,
of pressure. From the moment when the currAin rose, it
, was evident that the pantomime, and nothing but the -
tornime, was what the audience expected or at all and for.
' The performance opened with Southern's tragedy of
" Isabella ; or, the Fatal Marriage," nearly the whole of

which was dumb show to the spectator. When, in a
momentary Interval of partial silence, a pathetic tragic
wail reached the gallery, it well responded to from
that impatient locality by a species of mew or cat.
call, which speedily dissipated the rising sentiment of
the audience. At the conclusion of this introductory
and not very appropriate piece, nearly as hour was occupied
by the caterers for the periodical treat of the ironing ht the
seceesary:preparatinns for its proper exhibition. Thee ow

grows visibly before the spectator. The incidents connected
with Jock's expedition to the clouds are not very remark-
able. The ogre himself is rather too diminutive, by no
means coming up to the juvenile conception of him, and his
voice is withal rather of "forcible feeble " order. Jack duly
makes off with the golden goose and an egg of the same al-
ready laid. He is pursued by the giant, who would no doubt
have trapped the flying robber, as he was mounted on
special engine kept for his own private use, but that, the
' coals failing, it was necessary to wait until the ogress could
bring a fresh supply. After the ogre's catastrophe Harlequin
an dbis confederates commence their whimsicalities. Mr. J ohn-
son being Pantaloon, and Mr. C. Fenton Harlequin, the fol-
lowing were their principal pantomimic associates: Colum-
bine, Miss Clara Hercourt ; Sprite, Mr. R. Stilt; Clown,
Mr. C. Stilt. The tricks now commenced in earnest. The
Whittington Club came in for • share of notice, but nothing
good, bad, or indifferent was pcurtrayed resoecting it. The
Ethiopian Serenaders presented themselves on • wall in vast
numbers and in opposition parties, but they were totally
eclipsed by the "original Ethiopian Serenaders" it, the
kem of a number of catterwauling cat, assembled on the roar
tithe same building. Under the name of " The Happy
Family," the Jenners issued forth in ecclesiastical gear,
to the number of half a dozen, ticketed with large salaries.
Berkeley Castle and its lord were not forgotten. The " dark
earl," as the " big brother," fought two or three rounds with
the injured captain, as " the little one,'.' and the alleged
treating propensities of the earl, In connexion with the elec-
tion, were epitomised in a gigantic porter pot, which the
clown drank out of while suspended with his head down-
wards. Almost everything, in fact, obtained a plaoe. The
veritable bottle of Cruikshank stood forth in proper magni-
tude, and Conciliation-hall, in a dreary state of desertion,
advertising, however, for a few members, and promising
to " go the whole hog, no turn, and 1,0001. a year to
everybody." A box marked " arms for the Irish " opened
and sent forth a number of peasants si ging, with rakes and
other agricultural implements in their hands, emblematic of
a happy state of things supposed to be in store for the sister
country. The hits, if not all happy in conception, were well
executed, with one or two exceptions, for which the sudience
made good-humoured allowance. The tumbling was, as
usual, the great feature, and was the very best of its kind, and
every one seemed pleased, except • few of the cods, who
loudly demanded the song of " Hot Codlings," and were not
lucky enough to obtain their wish.
MARYLEBONE.—The old custom of performing one
of the standard tragedies of the romantic school on
boxing-night was revived at this theatre, and " Jane
Shore ' was acted with the full strength of the company,
including in the cast, Mrs. Warner in the part of Alicia,
and Miss Angel in that of Jane Shore. To this MO-
eseded • pantomime, entitled " Eyes, Nose, and Mouth ; or
Harlequin Prince Perfect, and the Birth of Beauty." The
opening scene pmeented the Region of Ugliness, whose quiet
is threatened by an inroad and invasion of the powers off
Beauty, and war, a outrance, is declared. The cause o
the direful warfare is a contention between the
Queen of Beauty and the Prince of Ugliness on
the subject of the marriage of • certain Prince Perfect with
a Princess Paragon, each of them being desirous to unite
hies with subjects of their own. By direction of Ugliness
a sprite, denominated Fright, insinuates himself into the
confidence of the prince, with the view of frustrating the
pleas of the Queen of Beauty; but the prince beholding in
a vision the lovely Princess Paragon, determines to set
out in quest of the Island of Beauty. Attended by his
valet Scrinibk-.Scramble (T. Matthews), he journeys through
the different kingdoms of the " Eyes, the Nowa, and the
Mouths," and in each of those dominions encounters
every species of temptation and many trials to detach
him from his faith to the princes., but in vain,
and finally in the capital, so to speak of the kingdom,
of the Mouths, an encounter takes place between Ugliness
and Beauty, in which the latter is of course triumphant,
and the usual transformations weir, T. Matthews being

Mr. Monis Pantaloon. Then follow a succession of quirks
and hits at the leading events of the day :—Shakspcare's
House, Egyptian Hall, Madame Tissaud, Jenny Lind,
Ethiopian Serenaders, Railways, &c. dc., and the whole
concludes with a superb tableau in the Fairy Court in the
Realms of Beauty.
SURRET.—The old stock tragedy of " The Earl of
Warwick" formed the first portion of the entertainment pre-
pared
last evening for the holiday makers, who, however,
were a most orthodox boning-night audience, and evinced
the fact by scarcely listening to two consecutive lines of the
play. The pantomime which followed is entitled " Battle-
dore and Shuttlecock ; or, Harlequin Trap, Bat, and Ball."
It is a medium of conveying the usual allegorical moralities
which are inseparable from entertainments of the kind. The
Demon of Extravagance is the presiding genius and
prime mover of the pivot, end he is aided by his
:rusty eats, Messrs. Fraud, Avarice, Dissipation, sod
SiOgS. The first demon is applied to by Yining Racket, a
gentleman of the " fast" species, who has escaped from the
Queen's Bench, and be "does him a bill" accordingly.
Thus aided, the fast man is unremitting in his endeavours
to gain the hand of the Princess Shuttlecock, and procures
the assistance of the diminutive inhabitants of the land of
toys and their excellently-drilled little army, with which he
attacks Prince Shuttlecock, the favoured suitor. In the
engagement which follows Young Racket comes off
the conqueror, and to prevent the establishment of his
right to the princess the transformation, through the
agency of the Fairy Goldfinch, takes place. The prince
and princess take the forms of Harlequin and Columbiye,
the old Baron Battledore that of Pantaloon, and You.tg
Racket is transformed into the Clown. The usual diver-
sions then follow : respectable passengers in the street are
knocked down, shops broken into, and glass doon irrevocably
smashed, according to pantomimic custom. The prominent
topics of the day are touched upon with more or less effect.
Miss Annie Payne appeared for the first time as Coltariiine.
She has both elegance and vigour in her movements, and ac-
quitted herself extremely well. Mr. W. H. Payne was the
Young Racket in the first part of the piece, and. Mr. Joseph
Southby supported the part in its transformed state. Mr.
Soathby attained a considerable reputation as Clown many
years ago, and shows himself not to have retrograded in
more advanced age. Mr. Prior:on was the Pantaloon and
Mr. Eller the Harlequin, to both of which personation* the
average amount of credit is due. A hallucination appeared
to be prevalent among " the gods" that it was Mr.
Southby's duty to exhibit his talents in the vocal depart-
ment. A vigorous and continuous appeal was made to that
effect, which was continued during the evening, and not
even the avowal from Mr. Southby that he " (mold not sing,
and had never gang in his life," could silence them. The
house was crowded to overflowing.
VICTORIA.—The pantomime, under the name of
"The World of Wonders; or Harlequin Caxton, and the
Origin of Printing," had but little connexion with its name.
The little thins is consists of two scenes—one a representa-
tion of all the daily and weekly newspapers, and the other
the printing-office of Master William Caxton, who uses his
press to hold in durance vile a couple of hie enemies, whose
hands he contrives to make fast. There were no changes de.
eerviag mention ; but the dancing, together with the prac-
tical jokes, seemed amply to compensate for scenic transfer.
mations. Perhaps at no theatre was the " pelting scene "
—usually got up without rehearsal before the curtain on
boxing-night—eo thoroughly performed as it was last night.
Previous to the pantomime a vigorous fire of apple., orange-
peel, and other playful missives, was kept up from the gal-
lery, and did not subside till the comic scenes of the panto-
Mime had commenced, when the fun on the stage was allowed
to proceed, which it did with complete success.
ASTLEY'S.—This theatre keeps up its well-merited
character as a place of populn entertainment and a favourite
resort of the play-going public at this " merrie Christmas
time." After the performance last night (for the forty.tint
time) of a grand military spectacle called The Camp of
Silesia," a ' grand equestrian pantomime" was presented to
the eager and joyous spectators who were elbowing each
other for standing room in all puts et the building. The
pantomime, written by Mr. Nelson Lee, and entitled "Dr,
Syntax and his Dapple Gray Mare," was produced with the
mast lavish provision for its success ; no effort or exposit
being spared to render it attractive in costume,
and scenic effect. The eminently ludicrous cunt alma
positions which the well-known tale of Dr. Syntax's tear to
the lakes on his favourite Grizzle presents, were made the
most of, and seemed to be highly relished by the audience.
The enchanted hall of horseehoss, subsequently transformed
into a magic tunnel, was the first scene, in which certain
sprites dubbed Bridlebil, Snalle, Blinker, Curbrein, cum
multi+ *lin, were employed in making horse shoes, when
the demon Steekap suddenly appears, and laying informed
the workers of mischief that Dr. Syntax's mare had lost a
shoe, proposes that it should be replaced by a magic one.
The wish having been complied with, Firefly and Sting are
sent to tease the unhappy Grizzle and unfit her for her journey
to the north, The scene changes, and we are presented with
the land of industry where the presiding genius and her
happy attendants are busily at work. Their queen relates
the treachery of Steelcap, and claim' their assistance in frus-
trating the mischievous design on the doctor's mate j they
readily agree to the proposal, and vanish on their kindly
mission. Scene the third discovers the hall in the wonky
doctor's home with Tommy, the industrious boy, in love
.with his books; Harry, the idle boy, In love with nothidt
but play ; and Danes Syntax basting the dinner acid the
boys alternately. A row follows, in which the housewife
belabours her spouse by mistake. In the next scene the
Doctor fairly starts on his journey, and meets with the va-
rious misfortunes which attended him on the way, end which
are too well known to need description here. Suffice it to
say, that he finally returns to the happy home he had left,
and Grizzle to her clover. The harlequinade now commen-
ces, and the various trensformations Cleverly exhibit, in
burlesque, some of the most popular topics of the pert year.
An admireble representation of the LAM of Comberhusd
concludes the pantomime, and it ts necessary to *ea
that the fell amidst the shentimrsVmerry lavender,

MANSION-HOllBll.—Sistioatimo.—F. Meyer, a Ger-
man, was charged with having been unlawfully concerned
in uasbipping 54 lbs. of cigars, liable to duty.—Mr. J. Mul-
lins, an officer of the customs, was on duty on Brown's Quay
on Friday afternoon, when the prisoner uked him to ex-
amine a cue of pigeons, which lad arrived by the City of
Rotterdam steamer. Witness told him the case might be
landed, and he would examine it. The case was afterwards
landed without witness's knowledge, and conveyed to the
warehouse, where witness was requested to go to examine it.
He found it stowed away in a dark corner, and his suspicions
beisg excited, he ordered it to be brought out. At this de-
fendant and a friend who accompanied him, walked away,
hut were brought back by a constable.—The defendant pro-
duced a letter written in the Dutch language, to, it ii be-
lieved, an imaginary person residing at the vague address of
No. 96, Pimlico, statics that the pigeons were consigned to
the defendant. In the interstices of the back and sides of
the case, witness found 64 lbs. of agar.—The defendant,
who said he had no idea the case contained scything but
pigeons, was fined 1001.
GUILDIIALL.—CHAIKIS or DRUNKINNZSB AOAINST

stated that about tyre o'clock on Sunday morning he found'
the prisoner drunk on his beat in Alderagate-street He
reported him to the inspector, who ordered the prisoner to
be brought to the station. He returned, but the prisoner
refused to accompany him. Witness said he must resort to
farce, when the prisoner drew his truncheon and threatened
to split hie skull if he touched him. With assistance l e
was conveyed to the station.—lnspector Howard said tb
prisoner was locked up in a cell, when he kicked at the door
and made a violent noise all night—The prisoner admitted
be wudrunk. He only made a noise to obtain some water,
being very thirsty, and because he kicked three or four
times they came into the cell and took his boots away.
He had been imprisoned many hours. He should
lose his situation, and be hoped the alderman would take
that into consideration.—Mr. Alderman Wilson said that

as he would punish a person who assaulted a policeman with
greater severity than for assaulting any other person, so
should the behaviour of the police be upon all occasions most
exemplary, and their faults be punished with greater severity
than the like faults of other persons. He adjudged the pri-
soner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 14 days.
—J. Meager, another policeman, woe charged with a like
offence.—Sergeant Eno stated that he found the prisoner
drunk on his beat on Sunday night, after being missing from
his duty for half- an.hour ; he ordered him to the station.
He refused to give up his lanthorn and truncheon, and the
officers were obliged to throw him on his back to get them
away from him. lie afterwards struck the sergeant in the
face. He had been io the force above a year and a half. The
prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done. The
commissioner had dismissed him from the force.—Mr. Alder-
man Wilson oommitted him to hard labour for seven dais
only,—lt was stated that the police-commissioner had dis-
missed from the force four other constables who had been
found drunk on their beats.

A NOVEL WAY OF OBTAINING CIIBIATMAR-BONEB.—F.
Waddelove, the conductor of as omnibus, running from
Hackney to the west end of the town, was charged with mis-
behaviour to Mary Ann Asbplent—The complainant, on
leaving the omnibus, gave him (the defendant) a shilling,
for which he refused to give her any change, on account of
its being boxing night, having previously served other pas-
sengers the same trick. He pushed her off the step, and
told the driver to go on. Complainant got upon the step
again, and began to scream. The omnibus was stopped by
the police, and the conductor, who was so drunk that he
could scarcely stand, was locked up for the night.—The pri-
soner's defence was, that though it was Christmas he had re-
frained from taking a drop too much till the very last jour-
ney at night, and then he accepted a friendly offer of a
draught of ale.--He was committed to Bridewell for seven
days, and to have the conviction recorded on his license.
H. B. contributed a donation of 11. ls. to the poor-box,
and the Grocers' Company 101.
CLERKENWELL.—SUDDEN DEATH.—lnformation was
received on Saturday night that a mast was in a state of in-
sensibility in Kieg-street, Somers-town, when some officers
were sent with a stretcher to convey him to the
station-hones. On their arrival there, the police-sur-
geon was sent for, and he applied remedies which
caused the prisoner (who had evidently been drink-
ing deeply) to rally a little, but he was in so weak a
state that the surgeon, who identified him as a Mr. Elliston,
with whom he was acquainted, advised his removal to his
own house. On the charge beino inserted in tke police-abut
the surgeon became responsible for his appearance at the
court yesterday morning, and he was conveyed to his resi-
dence in Dean-street, Somers-town. Yesterday morning,
however, on inquiries being made at his residence, it was dis-
covered that he was dead.

and on the 24th possession was sought to be obtained ; but
Mr. Airey resisted, and the door was broken ern, when the
defendant was taken int.) custody.—Mr Clarkson, for the
defendant, argued that he wasjustiried, under all the cireum•
suintee, in acting on orders he bad received to regain posses-
sion of the premises.—Mr. Bingham was inclined to think
that the possession on the 21st was complete ; and if so the
turning of the men ant would constitute a trespass. How-
ever, as this was not the court to try a question of disputed
title he should 'end the case to the sessions, if the parties
chow to proceed further.

Busks was charged with creating a disturbance in Ber-
mondsey workhouse, and aseatiltiog the porter.—Mr. Has-
kins, the master of the workhouse, stated that the prisoner
was an inmate, and that between nine and ten o'clock on
Christmas night, owing to a great noise in the ward, he
went there, and saw the prisoner, who was making a dis-
turbance, and had broken • pane of glees in one of the
windows. He called the schoolmaster and the porter to
misriat in quelling the disturbance, and as they were attempt-
hag to take the prisoner out of the ward he threw a piece of
erockeryware with great force at the porter's head—it struck
him on the side of the face, aed glinting off bit witness on
the shoulder.—The porter, who had a black eye from the
blow, confirmed the master's statement —The evidence of '
two policemen, who had bees called in, differed materially
fro that given by the preceding witnesses, both of them
allegiog that the porter was drunk at the time. They, how-
ever, agreed that the prisoner was very violent, and that
they beard the porter exclaim that he bad been injured by
him and that he should have his revenge, and then some
personal viol, nee was committed b 7 the porter on the pri-
soner, the latter at the time being in custody.—The porter
denied the charge of Intoxication, and said that insensibility
was produced by the blow he received.—The prisoner said
that he was struck by the porter several times before he de-
fendcd himself, and that having lost one arm he threw the
first thing he came at, at him. He declared the porter was
drunk.—Mr. Seeker sentenced the prisoner to teenty-one

it was for causing a disturbance in the workhouse.

The following statement, prepared and condensed
from various official returns, will be found to present
an intelligible view of the note circulation of the
United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by
the banks indicated, both positively at the date of the
accounts last made up, and comparatively with returns
for corresponding periods.
The aggregate average note circulation of the
United Kingdom, according to the returns last collec-
tively completed for all the banks of issue, stood for
the four weeks ending the 4th Mat., as follows :
Bank of Itnaland 119,173,169
Private Banks
Joint Stock
Irish Banks 3,322,741
• Scotch Banks 3,74463

Total circulation on weekly average /34,113,314
Returns for the four weeks eliding Nov. O. 34756,4511

Decrease Dec. 4
The decrease was thus composed on balance :
Bank of England, lees by 951,4441. ; private banks,
less 601,2971.; joint stock banks, less 507,5901. ; Irish
banks, less 196,5731.; Scotch banks, more by 125,7671.
The fixed issues of the private banks being
4,880,3891., including the St. Alban's Bank, which
suspended in the last week of the returns, and taking
the total as otherwise given in the Banker's Magazine,
where the requisite deductions on account of the other
suspended banks are made, it follows they were below
the amount 1,180,006!.
The fixed issues of the joint stock banks, subject to
the same deductions on the same authority, being
3,261,9061., it follows they were below the amount,
685,1351.
The fixed issues of the Irish banks being 6,354,4941.,
it follows they were below the amount 1,031,7531,
with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,590,7701.
more. _ _ _

The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,087,209 i., it follows they were above the amount
645,2761., but with specie to cover the excess, and
488,1551. besides.
The average of coin and bullion held by the Bank
of England during the four weeks ending the 4th in-
stant was £10,210,255; increase on the November
return £1,732,426.
The average of specie held by the Irish banks
daring the same term was £1,590,770; increase on
the November return £54,244.
The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the same term was £1,133,431 ; increase on
the November return £17,371.
