PRINCE OF WALES'S.

This deservedly popular and exceptionally well-
managed little theatre was re-opened for the winter sea-
son on Saturday night with Mr. T. W. Robertson's sue.
cesdul oomedy of Caste. The company have been playing
it with honour end profit at Liverpool, and many other
large northern towns, and they have done wisely to give
it another trial in London. Its power of attraction is not
yet half-exhausted, and it may probably be long before the
metropolitan playgoers will see a piece better written and
better acted. The only change made in the cast since its
first production is the substitution of Mrs. Leigh Murray
for Miss Larkin in the part of the Marquise.

The Victoria wee re-opened on Saturday night, under
the management of Mr. J. A. Cave, No long connected
with the Marylebone Theatre.
The Strand Theatre will open to-night (Monday) ; the
Holborn will re-open next Saturday with a new drama
of Mr. T. W. Robertson, called For Lore, or the Tro
Heroes ; the Adelphi, re-decorated, will re-open next
Saturday with Mrs. Alfred Mellon as managing directress ;
the Olympia will re-open on Monday, Oct. 7, with Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Mathews ; the Queen's (late St. Mar-
ten's Hall) is announced to open on Thursday, Oct. 17, with
• new play by Mr. Cherie' Heade, and Mr. and Mrs.
Boneiesnit will make their re-appearance to-night at the
Princess's in Arrah-as-pogue.

THE QCEEN or HOLLAND AT KNowszary.—On
Saturday morning her Majesty the Queen of Holland left
the seat of the Earl and Compton eadon, the Grove,
Watford, to pay a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby,
at their family seat, Knowsley, Lancashire. Her Majesty
was accompanied by the Baroness Dedaro, Baroness Pabst,
and Count Bylandt. Her Majesty and suite arrived at
Huyton station shortly after three o'clock, and were
received by the Right Hon. Lord Stanley P., and the
Hon. Frederick Stanley. As the royal 'visit is strictly
private no special preparations were made in the district ;
but on alighting her Majesty received a respectful welcome
from a crowd of the residents, and on passing through
the village of Hnyton, the bells of the fine old church sling
out peals. Her Majesty rode to Knowsley in •
han closed carriage, drawn by four dark bays, and
drives by postilliona an the state livery of the Derby
family. On arriving at Knoweleyhall, her Majesty was
received at the principal entrance by the Earl and Coun-
tess of Derby, and at once conducted to her apartments—
the same occupied by the Prince and Princess of Wales on
the occasion of their visit to Lancashire. Her Majesty is
expected to remain at Knowsley until tomorrow. 'Yester-
day she was expected to joiu the residents and guests at the
ball in the service at Knowsley Church—and to-day—
if the weather is propitious—a visit will be
paid to the Ravenhead Gla.taworks, St. Helens,
an which the Princess of Wales was so interested.
Amongst the guests invited to meet her Majesty are the
Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M.P., the Hon. Frederick and
Lady Constance Stanley, the Hon. W. P. Talbot and Lady
Emma Talbot, and Admiral Hornhy. The visitors expected
to visit Knowsley during the week are the Earl and Coos-
tees of Sefton, the Hon. George Villiers, Lord and Lady
Tankerville, Lord Lyons, Lard Henry Lennox, Lord and
Lady Skelmersdale, Miss Wilbraham' Lord and Lady
Colville, and Colonel the Hon. Edward Wilbraham. His
Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of
Cambridge, is expected at Knowsley from Preston on
Wednesday, and ho will, in all probability, be accompanied
to the review an Sefton-nark on Saturday by the majority
of the Earl of Derby's dieguisbd guests. Mr. Disraeli
does not visit the Premier, as announced, this week ; his
visit being deferred until • future time when his noble
chief will not be so much occupied with social duties as he
is at present.
GREAT CATCH OF BEHAN IN THE WHY.—On
Tuesday, Sergeants Carruthers and Chilean attached to
the permanent staff of the lad Royal Surrey: Militia, had
some splendid sport in the Wey. Having permission from
Captain Salvin, the owner of Sutton-park, they proceeded
to the water near Oak-bridge, about four miles from Guild-
ford, at half-put sin the morning. The morning was
cold, and the wind was from the north-west. Lob worms
were the only bait used, and the water had not been
ground-baited. Directly they put in, the bream began to
bite voraciously, and so great and continuous was the
sport, that on counting the take at half-past 5 in the even-
ing, when they left off, they found that they bad secured
98 fish. On being brought to scale the total weight proved
to be 1811 b., one or two of the fish turning 4ilb. Such •
stook of bream as has been recently taken out of the Wey
in this neighbourhood surpasses anything that has occurred
within the recollection of the oldest anglers.—West Surrey
