third act as represented here) the agitation Rini emotion
of Violetta's struggle to resign her lover were expressed

sane, coutaiaing some highly dramatic concerted music,
produced a strong climax ; and such was the effect made
au the audience by the powerful performance of Millie.

a mingled languor and passion that evidenced high his-

Drama.

NEW qUEEN'S.

Amongst those finished sketches of character
which It,. Alfred Wigan found time to present wi with
alluring his management of the Olympic no one probably
lives more vividly in the memory of the playgoer than
the old Frenchman in The First Niyiat, who has a daughter
to push on in the theatrical pmfesslou, and who pushes
her on by every means in his power. No !nom amusing
and truthful glimpse "behind the scenes" was ever given
to the public. The mingled pathos, humour, artfulness,
temper, fatherly and artistic pride, physical weakness,
mental strength, flattery of superiors, and contempt for
inferiors anti rivals. were all brought out with rare artistic
skill by the :actor, whose command of " broken English"
is unequalled on the English stage. This admirable little
comedy w.'s revived at the Queen's Theatre last night,
with Mr. Wigan in his original character, and Miss P.
Markham in the part of the daughter. Mr. Alfred
Wigan never acted with more finish—more command
of every little effective and natural detail, and the
piece was received by a large autlience with genuine
laughter andapplause. The Lathe scene at the rehearsal
in which Mr. Wigan plays the drums in the orchestra—the
burlesque deo from Les Huguenots, and other well-known
points in the little comedy, were as fresh and enjoyable as
they were twelve or fourteen years ago; and we
have ouly -tie fault to find with Mr. Wigan.
When he slags the duo with his daughter in the
author's oho ather he should not take liberties with
an orchestra that is not supposed to be before him.
All the characters were fairly repreienkil. Miss Mark-
ham, who made her first appearance in London, has a
pleasing vatic and manner ; Mr. John Clayton is an excel-
lent ".well ;" Miss H. Hodson is /efficiently imperious as
the pron, fins tut ; Mr. W. H. Stephens makes an amusing
manager, and Mr. L. Brough is a fussy, funny, and sensi-
tive author. The warm rtceptiou given to this little re-
vival seems to Le a proof that comedy it likely to be very
acceptable at this theatre. The drama of The Doable
arraiyc nowplayed first, and F, rat Right concludes
the performances.

SU/PIICAL AID SOCIIITIr. —The annual general
meeting of the subscribers and friends of this society was
held at the London Timm, yesterday: Mr. Charles Reed,
P.S.A., in the choir. The society was established five
years since with the object of rendering awistance to poor
persons in all parte of the United Kingdom, who, by reason
of smut deformitiea, varicose veins, the loss of limbs, or
other infiravities arising from accident or local weakness,
are endurin; great pain, and through the want of some
raeolianic..l support are partially or entirely prevented
from pruridit • for themselves and their families. The
annual report stated that during the year the society bad
relieved men, 247 women, 63 boys, and 26 girls, suffer.
ing from various ailments, and 592 instruments and appli-
ances had been given, and that during the five years of the
society's existence it had relieved I ,ffl'si of the afflicted poor
with 1.725 surgical and mechanical appliances. The trea-
mer's report showed that the receipts for the year were
772 f. lfh. af., and that there was but a very
mall balance in band. The chairman said of
all the charitable institutions that existed in Lon-
don it str.o.': hm that a charity which like this
Dad fur its object to relieve the self-reliant was one of
theinest deserving. There were many poor persons living
in London who only wsnted mechanical appliances
to enable them to labour for their own support.
Yr. W. H. Wilson moved the adoption of - the
import. He knew of no charity which was more
deserving of support, because its object was to enable
the poor to earn their curb living, and many cases
had come under his own notice in which that object had
been attained. The Rev. N. Whittington, rector of St.
Peter's, Cantu% seconded, and pointed out that the
charity had been especially beneficial to poor women.
Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and Mr.
Grey, the secretary, made a strong apeal for additional
enbecriptions. A vote of titanic/ to the chairman OW
eluded the proceedings.
ST. PANCRAS 1% oassorNs.—Yeaterday, at the
weekly meeting of the board of guardians of St. Paneras,
NT. W. IL Wyatt,J.P., chairman of tl e hoard, presiding,
Mr. Make, the master of the workbonse, made a report no
to the case of Martha Brown, on whose body an inquest
was hell nu Monday. It was resolved Via! brandy and
other stimulants be placed iticharge of the matron and bead
Dune of the ifilirrniuy, and that they be hula responsible
tar its immediate administration on t':e or der of the medical
diver. A communication was received from the Poor-law
Board in the shape of en order sanctioning the para.:vie of
a site near Highgate, at a cost of 4,:k0f., for the erection
at a saw imaginary apart from the workhouse.

THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 7.
The trial of the third batch of Fenian prisoners
was intended to be resumed this (Thursday) morning, and
they were brought up at the usual time, but were not
placed in front of the dock. Mr. Justice Blackburn took
his seat at two minutes before nine o'clock. The names
of the pry
are Thomas Stalky, Michael Joseph Buy-
land, -Henry Wilson, Michael Maguire, sod
Murphy. lu the absence of the Attorney-General, who
has returned to London, Mr. Pickering, Q.C., said that
since last evening his friend the Attorney-General
and all who were associated in the prosecution,
had very carefully looked through the evidence with
reference to the present charge against the prisoner Wilson,
and they thought that as the witnesses who were going to
speak to some of the particular acts of violence in reference
to hint in substantiation and confirmation of this charge,
were considered, in consequence of what had already
passed, as not quite such as they would like to rely upon
for the support of such a serious charge as that of murder,
therefore, in the exercise of their discretion that par-
ticular charge would be withdrawn.
A verdict of not guilty was therefore recorded. In the
ease of four others—Chambers, Johnston, John Martin,
and Ryan—a noile prosevei was entered, and the prisoners
were set at liberty. John Carroll, Charles Moorhouse,
and Daniel Reddin were then put upon their trial for
tumult and riot, end the case was proceeding when the
court rase.

SIR S. NOIMICOTE AT THE CITY OF LONDON

COLLEGE.

Tho Right lion. Sir Stafford Northcoto, Bart.,
Secretary of State for India, last evening distributed the
prizes at the City of LondoS,College, Leadenhall-street.
Alderman Ft %Nis presided. Letters of apology for ina-
bility to attend, .uid sympathy with the objects of the in-
stitution, were read from the Bishops of London, Lincoln,
Illinois, Tennessee, and Indiana; Colonel Sykes, M.P.,
Mr. Goechen, ALP., Mr. Cowper, M.P., Vice-Chancellor
Wood, Sir John Lubbock, and several others.
From the report which the secretary read it appeared
that the average number of students during the past year
exceeded 840; and Vie avenge number of vouchers issued,
to enable many stud •nts to join several classes, amounted
to 1,050. Of the ze,.l and industry of the members ample
proof was furnished Ly the results of the various exrunina-
tions. Although a sma!lernumberof cazulidatesoffered them-
selves for examination, both at the Society of Arts and at the
College, yet the proportion of prizes and first-class certifi-
cates was equal to that of any previous year. Out of the
61 prizes aw.irded by the Society of Arts, 11 were won by
this institution. The'e results would be better appre-
ciated when it was understood that 1,439 candidates from
all parts of the kingdom, of whom 57 were students from
this college, competed for the prizes ; also, that out of the
339 first-class certificates awarded, the college obtained 33.
The college had acquired additional lustre by obtaining,
for the third time, the Prince Consort's Prize of 2.5
guineas. This, which might justly be regarded as the
Blue Riband of the Society of Arts, was awarded this year
to Mr. W. Meadows.

THE LATE MINS GLOVER.—This lady, who died
at Great Malvern on the 20th ult., was the eldest daughter
of the Rev. Edward Glover, rector for many years of St.
Lawrence, Norwich. On her foundations the Tonic Sol-fa
method, which has been so largely adopted throughout the
country, was built. It was natural that she should never
allow the modifications which Mr. Curwen found it neces-
sary to make in her system were improvements, but she
watched the rapid spread of the modified system with an
active interest, and without • touch of jealous feeling.
She once wrote to Mr. Curwen, " I mourned over the de-
clining state, as I feared, of a favourite scheme, which I
loved as a child, and now I find that you have been in
the meantime nurturing it with so much care and skill
that if you have somewhat shorn its locks I may well for-
give you, in consideration of the flourishing aspect cf the
creature altogether." This happy spirit animated her to
the close of her life. Only two months before her death
she said, in conversation with Mr. Curwen, referring to •
charge of plagiarism which had been brought against her
by • French musical periodical, " Do not concern yourself
to vindicate my originality. Let the question be, not who
was the first to invent it, but is the thing itself good and
true and useful to the world. She was seised with
while in the act of rising from her knees after
r rmirib y
prayers and after lingering for some days died
peacefully at the advanced age of 02.
DEATH OF A Yor No GIRL THROUGH FRIGHT.—
An inquiry was held on Wednesday, by Mr. Richards, the

MARRIED QUARTERS AT THE CURRAGH.—There
are no quarters for married soldiers, beyond a few for the
non-commissioned officers • and the following plan is
adopted:—Soldier, married leave, with their wives and
children, are placed four families in • oominon barrack hut,
in which there is no attempt at separation but such as the
families can accomplish by means of clothes lines, blankets,
and rugs. With these they petition off the forircornen making
a small square, in which they place their beds ; and this forma
the only privacy possible to each fancily. There is a door
at each end of the but ; and, on entering, a passage is ob-
served between a wall of blankets, leading to a space in
the centre of the hut, where the one stove is placed,
which has to act for all purposes of cooking, se well as
of warmth, to the four families. Some of these consist
of from four to six beside the parents ; and thus a
pretty accurate idea can be formed of the amount of
comfort and delicacy which prevails in spite of these ex-
temporised' attempts at separation and privacy.—British
Medical Journal.

THE TRAVELLERS' PARADIEII.—The train from
lloseow to St. Petersburg, which runs on the first line
ever laid down in Russia., usually consists of half • dozen
cars of immense length. Entering. by a broad easy stair-
case and convenient platform, the estonisbed and delighted
Briton finds himself in a saloon, with • table in the
centre, surrounded by sofas and divans. Opening from
one side of this saloon is a passage leading to the
further end of the carriage, and passing on to an iron
platform outside. Neither height, stoutness, crinoline,
nor other moderate majesty of human proportions or orna-
ment, creates any obstacle to the free movemeuta of the
passenger. Heavy curtains, when pushed aside, however,
reveal three pleasant private apartments, if he desires
repose. Each is furnished with six cos.), easy chairs.
Another passage leads to similar apartments re-
served for ladies. A pretty winding staircase
shows the way to a sleeping saloon above. The view from
this upper Boor is quite charade* in fine weather, and
enables the traveller to observe the general aspect of the
country for miles around in every direction. Everything is
admirably arranged. The doors fit closely, yet open
easily ; and as on entering the carriage it is necessary to
pass several, of which one shuts as the other opens,
there are no draughts from the wintry air outside.
Over the passage is • loft, in which may be stowed
away, within arm's reach, whatever a reasonable person
can expect or desire to have with him. Doulde windows
exclude the bleak air of the steppe from rushing directly
in upon weak lungs ; but there is so good • system of
ventilation through the roof that the cars are never
unpleasantly close. Lastly, there are washing-places,
dressing-rooms, and other conveniences., handsomely fitted,
scrupulously clean. The amusements in this travellers'
Paradise are numerous and varied. Portable card tables,
wax candles, obese, draughts, cards, and books are to be
had for the asking. Cheerful games and good reading
are agreeably varied by festive stoppages ; the speed
being about twenty miles an hour, and a first class
station every fifty miles. Here is to be found,
at a rational price, tea such as scholars love.
true nectar for philosophers ; while the ruder sons of
Adam may choose other drinks from divers rows of
curiously-shaped bottles of wonderful wines and rich-
coloured liqueurs. There are bon tons and beef, ducks and
geese, partridges and venison, the mighty sturgeon, and
the doubtful Russian delicacies of ea riare and getimiottes.
There are even clean waiters, white linen, flower's, and
bright lights. The cheer is so good that parties of fine
ladies and smart officers travel from St. Petersburg and
Moscow expressly to dine at these refreshment stations.—
