PRINCE OF WALES'S THEATRE.

A new and original drama in three acts entitled One
Hundred Thoueand Pounds, written by Mr. Henry J.
Byron, was produced at this house on Saturday night with
perfect and well-deserved success. It has more claim to
be called a comedy than a drama, and exhibits a marked
advance upon Woe t the Knife—a drama by the same
author, produced last June at the same theatre. The
story is less overloaded with somewhat obscure details, is
more natural and English, and is placed more clearly before
the audience.

SUNDA': AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yer,terday
a meeting of the shareholders, convened by the National
Sunday League, was held at the Crystal Palace. Th,r meet-
ing was confined to the shareholders, the greater part of
whom had become so by the agency of the Crystal Palace
Share Clubs, which have been supported by artizans and
others seeking :ohnission for themselves and their families
on Sunday r.fternoona The numbers, of course, were
limited, but nevertheless about six hundred p aeons
were present, with a considerable number of children.
The utmost decorum prevailed. At 3 o'clock an :ul-
dress was delive7ed in the Egyptian Court on the
antiquities of Egypt. and at 4 o'clock in the Pompeian
Court on the " Social Life in Pompeii." At 5 o'clock the
company, to the number of about 300, eat down to tea,
after which adlres..es were delivered, pointing out the
moral advantages of spending the Sunday afternoon under
the influence of Cie beautiful objects contained in the
palace and gardens. The greatest enjoyment was 11171111-
tested, and not till quite dusk did the company make their
way to the return platform, while a proposal for similar
'reunions at intervalsreceived unanimous approval.

Sr:rinz BY A DOG. —A day or two since a fine
dog, which was known by the name of " Brace," and
belonged to Mr. Oecrge Hone, of Frindsbury, near Roches-
ter, committed a deliberate act of suicide by drowning, in
the Medway, at l:pnor, Chatham. The dog, a fine animal,
bad from some cause been suspected of having given indi-
cations of appioacalug hydrophobia, and was accordingly
shunned ami kapt as much as possible from the house.
This treatment appeared to cause him much annoyance,
and for some days he was observed to be moody and morose,
but still without any appearance of becoming rabid. On
Thur.lay morning he was seen to leave his house and pro-
ceed to an intimate acquaintance of his master's at Upnor,
on reaching the residence of whom he set up a piteous cry
on finding that he could not obtain admittance. After
waiting at the house some little time he was seen to go to-
wards the river close by, when he deliberately walked down
the bank, and after turning round and giving a kind of fare-
well howl, he walked into the stream, where he kept his
head under water, and in a minute or two rolled over dead.
This extraordinary act of suicide was witnessed by several
persons. The manner of the death proved prett7 clearly
that the animal was not suffering from hydrophobia.
