DRAMA.

PRINCESS'S.

Aftar a laps, of fourteen years, Mr. Albert
dalta's dream* version of Mr. Diakates Oricket on
the Hearth, originally produced with mach MClss at
the Lynsus, was revived last night at the Prin-
cess's, and promises to prove attractive. It would
be too much to expect that the original cut could be
equalled, remembering es we do the delightful acting of Mrs.
Keeley am Dot, that incarnation of all that is loveable is
am English matroo, sad the admirable garb-coma remderieg
el Caleb Plummer by Mr. Keeley. Bet still the piece is
very well meted la its revived state. Mr. Ryder is forcible,
earneet, sad mealy all John Pearybingla the carrier ; Mr.
Frank Matthews infuses the peeper matarat ef matimest into
the natural vacuity of Caleb Plummet; sad Mr. Meadows Is
es had d unpleasant am possible as Tackleton, the toy-
merebeat. Miss C. Leclercq looks very charming as Dot,
sad plays with spirit and piquancy ; her dress, the usual
shat-pettiooated attire of the stage rustic, is out of character
and conventional. A young lady, Miss Clifford, who has
hitherto not been entrusted, we believe, with speaking
parts, played Bertha, the blind girl, with much womanly
sweetness, and in a manner that promises well for her future.
The piece was wall put upon the stage and the holm well
attended.

ME. WALLIS'S ZENTIRTIOIL—Mr. Wallis, en-
couraged by the essemest ids West-end Exhibition of Pic-
tures by Modern Astir" las meneved from the gallery of the
Old Water Colour Society I* Pall-mall, to the Isrpr
rooms of the Society of British Artie., in Briffork-streek
Slue our recent notice of the collection it has been
alerted and enriched, and the vacancies aimed by purchases
filled up with noteworthy works by several of oar most emi-
nent English artiste, tame of the pictures being fresh hem the
painters' well. We need not repeat our former cemmenda-
don of t♦e liberal manner in which this exhibition is con-
cluded both with respect to artists and the public.
piss aipietors•dealing here adopted, and which Mr. Wall
wen the Brit to inaugurals, has, we led eseared, greatly in-
tweased the demand for art by the annuity guarsateed by
each open exhibitions, and it has greatly benefited artiste by
rendering them independent of individual whims and
caprices of patrons. We have only to add that in the pre-
sent exhibition a room contenting a good collection of water-
colour drawings has born added, and the large gallery con-
tains a much finer gathering of oil paintings than the former
exhibition.

ZOOLOGICAL BOCTETY or LOffrtON.—At the
monthly general meeting, held yesterday at the society'.
home to Harasser-gears, Dr. Gray, Fioe-Prendent, in die
chair, Major Edward Fellows. the Rev. William H,

Weer F. B. Baird, Dr. Peters, and Dr. Twitch& as foreige
members_ , sad Mr. T. J. Moore, of the Derby Museum,
Liverpool, as a corresponding member of the society. The
report from the council stated that the tots] number of visitors
to the gardens during the year 1859 had amounted to
348,406, showing an increase over the previous year of
14,426 ; that the number of members elected in 1859 was 33,
being an increees 0f,24 over the previous year.
ENFRANCHISEMENT OF GRAVESEND. PUBLIC
ISIZTINO.—Last night an influential and crowded wain
of the Inhabitants of Gravesend (convened by the mayor) we
held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of adopting measures
to induce the present government to confer parliamentary re-
mmentation upon the dispirit:thy the terms of the new Reform
.11, such privilege* for the borough of Gravesend having
been proposed in the Reform Bill introduced by the late con-
servative ministry. The chair wee occupied by the mayor,
who briefly explained the objects of the meeting. Mr. B.
Oakes, one of the borough magistrates, moved the drat raw.
lotion, to the effect "that a memorial, in acconlance with
the objects of the meeting, be adopted, and signed be the
mayor for pressetation to the Secretary of State for the Home
Department" After addnciag arguments in favour of the
representation of Gravesend, the speaker observed he was
aware that Gravesend did not In the general opinion of the
country stead very high in the social *cal% and he had teen
Informed that when the late Chanoelbr of the Exchequer read
his reform bill in the House of Commons, there was a geme-
ntl laugh when it was proposed to give one member to
Graveeend. He thought, -however, that Gravesend wee at
limo as pure as many boroughs in the country. (Cries of
" Wakefield.") The Rev. E. Pryce (Baptist) .seeded the
motion, which was adopted. Mr. Hatme then moved that a
deputation, consisting of the Mayor, Mr. Oaks.. Mr. G.
Taylor, and the Rev. E. Pryos, be appointed to welt upon
the Home Secretary and present the memorial. The motion
wee seconded and adopted ; and, after • vote of thanks to
the mayor, the meeting separated.
The LONDON COME AND EATING-ROXXX
REAPERS' BXNEvuLENT ASSOCTATtON.—The annual bell
is aid of the funds of this institution was held In the large
hall of the Freemasons' Tavern, on Tuesday evening last,
when • very numerous company assembled, and the dancing
was kept up with great spirit until • late hour, under the
management of Mr. Frampton. The managing committee
left nothing undone that could add to the comfort of the
visitors. During the evening au excellent middens, written
for the occasion by M. Carpenter, Ent., was well delivered by
Mr. Joseph Eldred, Jun. Many leading members of the
trade were preset, including the president. vice-president,
T. ficeewnod, Esq. (treasurer), and Mr. J. Rogers (secre-
tary ) ; also Messrs. Wisdell, Athils, Hay, Groombridge, and
Harding.
Rnsßox OrriAol correspondent
of Barbdere Nem Letter, writing hoer Athlone, county of
Ronommon, on Wednesday, says Intelligence of an
outrage committed on the property of the Rev. Frederick
Trench, in title county, has just reacted ben, of which I
give you the particulars. Some weeks since Mr. Trench em-
ployed a man named Griffin, a native of the county Galway,
to reside on his property at Lysterdeld, in the capacity of
steward or herd. Griffin /mint() the confidence of Ma em-
ployer, but, probably by his Integrity, became Aconites to
some of his neighbours ; he conequently became subject lo
the service of threatening notice., and last night, between
eight and nine o'clock, an armed party of ten or twelve per
with guns and swords, entered his dwelling, attacking
him in • meet brutal manner, inflicting some &rigorous
wounds on the unfortunate man, whose head and face are
fearfully cat and disfigured. The party then decamped,
leaving • notion that such would be the fate of all inter-
meddlers. There are hopes of Griffin's recovery. but some
Internal injuries may have been inflicted that will end
fatally. Jame Roes, Esq., resident martinets for the dis-
trict, took informations this morning, and Sub-Inspector
Harvey and the constabulary have been actively
during the day In searching after the perietratoral'Z
mingle. Griffin says he would be able to identify one of
the party, whose face he is acquainted with, but the dims
were all strangers."

THE DUKE OP NEWCASTLE ON THE
OBOANISATION OF MILE CORPS.

On Wednesday a most influential meeting was
held is the Cora Exchange, at Worksop, to promote the
establishment et • rills company for the district. Lord
ROBS= CLENTOW, M.P., occupied the chair; and he was
supported by his Once the Duke of Newcastle, Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Nottinghamshire; Lord Albert Pelham Clinton,
, Viscount Galway, M.P., Sir Thomas W. White, the Right
Hon. the Speaker of the Home of Commons, and the lead-
ing gentry of North Notts.
The Doke Of NIWCAIII.I, In proposing the first resolu-
tios—" That, with • view to aid the general movement for
providing efficient means fur the national defence, this meet-
ing approves of the formation of a corps to be sallied the
' Worksop Rifles,' the members constituting the mate to be
resident, of Worksop and its vicinity "—obaerved that
although there was no reason to apprehend an invasion of
oar shores, yet, at the same time, we felt that on the part of
• neighbouring power, if there was not the disomition to
attack, there was the sommulation of strength to strike •
blow, which made It extremely unadesable longer to daisy
the means of defence (Hear.) When ha saw the immense
standing armies which every government in Europe main-
tained—when he saw the power that was being accumulated
for aggressive war—he could sot bat regard it es en sat of duty
as well as an set 01 neosasity to take some mammas which
were odeniabid to preserve this kingdom from invasion.
(Chum) It had been occasiouielly seed that there was •
strew **Noe to the formation of rids corps, as the move-
ment, as it had now tome to be termed, was calculated to
muse neighbouring powers to look upon it as an act of hoe-
tility, and as evincing distrust. Well, it might be showing
distrust, but not hostility. If the ministers of ohs crown
were to ask parliament to double the present standing army,
it might be tempted by some power as an act of hostility
bat It was impossible that • purely voluntary force could
be looked upou as being established for any aggressive
purpose. (Cheers.) It was clear that this was en, and for
this reason—that no n.isistry could compel any man who
entered the force to do duty except in case of invasion.
(Hear, hear.) It was therefore • purely defensive mom-
mat; and, while this was its =in elesest, it had
also other sdrantaget—not the least of which was that in
dispensed with the necemity of increasing the standing
army. The increased expense which any extension of the
army would entail was an Important consideration, bat anti
not the greatest, became any increase of the army would
involve the drawing off from the industry of this country
three very Ras who contributed to the accumulation of its
wealth, and who would nor, if In the army, assist in than
pursuits and occupations which formed the main elements
of the moors and position of this country. (Cheers.) With
regard to their orgsnisettion, he would, in the first place, re-
mark that it was most desirable as far as predicate to form
companies 0100034 battalion, rather than to hare subadivisioas
of one company, one part of a company residing in one
neighbourhood and another at another place, became he taw
that at some future day this would give rise to much diffi-
culty. Each district should form • company in Itself, elides- I
your to concentrate its members within a limited die- i
tenor, and as often as possible meet for battalion
drill. If formed into a benefice:, they would here
the advantage of having • lieutenant-colosel and • 1
major who could give them instruction and, In fact, bring
them up to a state of the highest efficiency ; bat abase two
officers, it must be borne in mind, would not bays any com-
mand
over theta when they west not met for battalion drill,
though their assistance sad advise se practical men would be
most advantageous. If formed into • battalion it would be
neasseary that they should ham the same uniform. This he
was moat anxious should he borne In mind; and, without
attempting to dictate to them as M what uniform they
should adopt, he would say—do not be it be • mere piece of
dandyism; let it be useful, and not adorned with too much
anew lace and entities of that description. (Cheers.) To
colour he did not attach much importance. His own opinion
was that • grey•brown was the best (Hear.) He left corn-
puke to choose their own uniform, but at the tome time he
did not wish it to mated • cost of 11. per man. Sir Thomas
White had moat properly observed that it would be •
matter of deep regret to him if anything were done to e-
dam any of the yeomanry or militia to leave either of
those forced and 'oin the rifle movement. With Sir
Thomas he it would be most undesirable that
anything should be done to prevail on any officer to Imre
either the yeomanry ob the militia to serve in this new
volunteer faros-- (cheers)—for If this were done they (the
ofiloore) might leave the "new love" without returnee to
the old. With respect to the Aims he would jest make •
remark. He bad Dever recommended any officer for
appointment to her Majesty without consulting the wishes
of the company as to whom they desired to command.
He had merely risen to make • suggestive speech, and
in concluding his somewhat lengthy remarks., he would
say that the number of volunteers was daily lemming
throughout the country, and he was fully persuaded that
before next rummer was over there would be such • volun-
teer force throughout the length and breadth of this kingdom
as would strike terror into the minds of those who might still
have • disposition to attempt an einem of our shoves.
(Loud cheers.) He was not one of those who thought that
the intelligent and the educated of Englishmen would not'.:
be found a valuable adjunct to the standing army. (Lend
cheers.) There was ono point to which he bed not called
their attention, and to which It wee rweessarry he should
refer. It was ;hat, at the present moment, It was inad-
visable to enrol men who were not prepared to pay, at any
rate, for • considerable portion of their outfit. (Cheers.)
He would observe, "Do not make your company exclu-
sive ; and by all means have the representatives of all
dames; but, at the same time, do not involve yourselves is
any great enemies at first in this respect. By ell meank
have all classes in your corps, but do not at first attempt too'
much." If they only got a company of 100 to start with,
they wed be the nucleus of • greater number, who, ha
sass they went regeired—which God forbid—might render
good make They must not endeavour to effect too much
—if they tUd, fasteed of anoceeding in the object they had in
I view, It might only endin discredit to themselves sad
failure, so for as they were concerned, to the cause which
they desired to serve. (Cheers.) That they would have to
sestet the sea= who joined the corps was evident, because
it could not be expected that be would give his time, ind
then, out of his hard earnings, purchase his uniform ; bat
his advice to them was, set to attempt too much at first.
