THE POLICE COURTS

KLIPSON-110IIIM

Robert Smith Y dimitibed as a clerk, and Joeeph
Dufton, described se • -bowie keeper, surrendered
to answer a charge of having wilfully destroyed a numberof dolls, value 2.55. • and they were also charged with
assaulting two condi:Mee at the time of their apprehension.
The complainant was a man named George Grant, and it
appeared from his evidence that on Monday evening he was
walking over London-bridge, with a basket full of dola on
his head, when one of the defendants (Malkin) tipped the
basket off his head and ran off. lie followed him and
gave him in charge to the polioe, but he was very violent
end assaulted the constable, and Dufton (the other defen-
dant) interfered and endeavoured to rescue his companion,
and he also made use of a good deal of violence before he
could be secured.

The defence set up was that the defendants were on
their return from the Crystal Palace, and that in conse-
quence of the slippery state of the street' Malkin had
accidentally fallen against the complainant and upset his
basket of dolls. The samillt upon the police was denied.
The Lord Mayor ordered the defendants to pay a lias of
40s. each for the assault epee the policeman, and Malkin
was also adjudged to pay the value of the dolls, the remains
of which had, it appeared, been cleared away during the
" skrimmage " by some entire conveyancer.

the festive spirit of the season. The doors opened at 9, and

RUSSIA.

General Hasford, commander of the corps
in Siberia, has addressed a report to the
government, giving an account of an irruption into
the Rus,dau territory by the Kokans. Taking
advantage of the excitement which prevails among
the Mnesulmane, the Hokans collected numemus
bands among the nomade Kirghis tribes of the
valley of Tchow, and to the number of 20,000
crossed the frontier with the intention of possessing
themselves of the fortaves of Kaslek. The enter-
prise was, however, baffled by Colonel Klopakoweki,
who forced the enemy to retire. The Russians are
stated to have sustained only insignificant loss, but
the Kokans left on the ground about 1,500 killed,
and among them most of their chiefs.

LYCEUM.

Chrystabelle ; or, the Rose without a Thorn, is the
name of the fairy extravaganza here ; as the author, Mr.
Edmund Paloo•er, calls it, • fairy legend. It is certainly
of very light material, although we wish as much could be
said of the jokes ; they unfortunately were rather of the
heavy order, and scarcely produced • laugh, even when
toothed with all the practised stage cte►eenem of
Mime Lydia Thompson and Miss Turner, who filled
the parte of Mephisto and &spin, the vakis of
the two unsuccessful suitors. Mr. Rouse did all that

was possible with the part of Rauthemantanhat,
and sang most perseveringly through the medley
I music allotted to him. The succesdul performer, however,
was the little girl, Miss Dosed, who not only shows un-
mistakeable sign' of a genius for acting, but possesses a
voice of surprising power, and sings with remarkable taste.
Cltrystabelle could not have found a more graceful imper•
monster th.ui Miss Maria Teruo, and the three Princes
with their serviog men were all exquisitely got up
in all the unlimited foppery of fairy coetwne.
The grand final scene it is inipossible fairly
to describe, so full is it of the most feabstle
beauties of an artist's dream. The whole stage is
one magic bower of branches and foliage, sparkling in sun-
light, and eaclosing a crystal pool, where waterlilise
and out of which grow wild flowers, concealing those lovely
creatures that they say love to lurk in lily.heila This
"Vision of the Rose," as it is tamed, is a most original and
gorgeous display of scenic effects, and altogether we may
say that Claryeabelle fully sustains the traditions of the
Lyceum as the fairy home of extrammansa

SURREY.

As usual with Surrey audiences on boxing-uight
the impatience of the " gods " reduced to dumb-show the
first two pieces represented Lod evening, but the grand panto-
mime, written by Mr. John Courtenay, and entitled
Harlequin Cinelvella ; or, the Fairy of the Little Clam
Slipper, put all to rights again. Mr. Shepherd, who has
the entire superintendence of the pautoniime, deserves
high praise for the care and attention he has bestowed on
getting it up, and it is one of the most successful pan •
tomimes ever produced at the Surrey—a theatre long cele-
brated for this class of entertainment. The house was

crowded in every part.

ASTLEY'S.

The appropriate title of the pantomime at this
equine establishment is Harlequin and the Wonderful
Hors; or, the U 9( y DoteAtas and the Urredy Xing.

Thetricks which followed—albeit some of them were old
—were all amusing. The scenery throughout was good, and
the transformation scene was beautiful Mr. James Cooke
mule on excellent clown ; Miss LaMar • good columbine ;
and the other characters were creditably sustained.
We should not omit to mention that the pantomime was
preceded by • spectacle entitled The Lion Conqueror, to
which • living lion wu introduced on the stage, be how-
ever being perfectly under the control of the Lion Con-
queror, Mr. J. Crochett, who afterwards entered • cage
coutaining four lions and Lonesem, and placed his neck in
the mouth of one of them,

WOOLWICH THEATRE.—A crowded audience at-
tended last night to witness the pantomime, entitled Lady
Bird's Bower, written by Mr. C. A. Somerset. The enter-
tainment comprised fifteen mesas, and the performances of

Wm year presented a series of entertainments which would
not disgrace any minor theatre iu the metropolis, and the
company includes several well-known professionals.

THE ARREST OF COUNT TELEKI.

A letter of the 22nd from Dresden says :
You have learnt by the telegraph that Count Ladislaus
Teleki has been arrested here and given up by the police to
Austria. The Count had been staying here a few days on
family business, and the police had given him the usual
permission to reside here for a limited time. On the 17th
he was going to return to Geneva, from which place he had
come, but on the morning of that day some police.abeuta
entered his room and searched it. They even took from
him his clothes, which they ripped up in the hope of find-
ing some important papers between the cloth and hning.
But they found nothing. The police took Count Takla
away with them and did not release him again. They se
telegram to the Austrian Cabinet to know what they were
to do, and on the 19th the answer came that they were to
wad Count Teleki to Vienna. The Saxon govern-
ment, conscious of its odious conduct, did not comply
at once with Austria's demand, and desired them to send
from Vienna the heads of Teleki's trial. The reply came
that this formality wee useless. Yesterday Count Teleki
was sent to Vienna. The director of the police appears to
be ashamed of his seal, at least he says he is to the aurae.
roar members of the aristocracy who come to load him
with reproaches. This surrender has produced a very
peat emestion ; it has painfully surprised the city. Count
Traleki has many relations in our upper circles, and is gene-
rally esteemed on scoount of his high character." Neither is
he merely an Austrian count, but a count of the empire as
well, and the Saxon government bad no right to give him
up, even if Saxony is bound by a treaty of extradition.

OLYMPIC.

--Chilikeindlinn advanced age may remember the
fine old dramatic spectacle of ri7/iollr the rtertiir, with Si
alternations of love, revenge, hope, despair, red•fire, terrific
combats, processions, banners, music, and horses. Mr.
John Oxenford and Mr. Shirley Brooks have moralised
this spectacle into a thousand puns and a prodigious part
for Mr. Robson. The peculiar powers of that burlesque
tragedian were never evoked in a more decided manner than
by the new Christmas piece at the Olympic Theatre. it
has long since been discovered that the poartrayal of jealousy
is Mr. Robson's chief forte, and a new part written for him
without an opportunity for display of green-eyed monstro-
sities of drollery, would be, to coin an Irishisan, the play of
Hamlet with the character of Othello left out. Accordingly,
Timour is not oely a tyrant but an exceedingly jealous one.
How jealous, how tyrannical, how funny, how earnest, and
how agile, our readers must find for themselves, description
being simply inspomible. Zorilda is played with delightful
archness and spirit by Miss Louise Keeley ; the
intimating boy ado, by lam Hughes; sod the
theatrically honest Old Ogles, by Mr. G. Cooke. Plenty
has been done to call forth the musical abilities of Miss
Keeley and Miss Hughes, while Mr. Robson's vocal efforts,
though eclipsed by the fen of his singing and acting, show
that he knows well how to use a voice of singular flexibility.
The dawn incidental to the piece were beyond the pretty
bees of the ordinary ballet. One of them, a sort of Pyrrhic
war•dance, was very effective. Mr. Telbin's scenery is a
handsome setting to the brilliancy of this new Olympic
gnu.

The mappearance of Mr. Shirley Brooks', name in dra-
matic literature is quite an event, and will be deemed a
happy one by those who go to see Timm). the Tatter, as
well as by those who went, long ago, to see many a spark-
ling vises et pleasantry at the Lyceum, under the memo.
sable nianagemest of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley.

STRAND.

Cinderella : or, The Lover, the Lackey and
Link Gtsu Slipper, which is the Christmas novelty at
this house, is s burlesque of the broadest character, in
which all the incidents of the time.hotroured (Mu tale,

according to its operatic version, are parodied with a degree
of humour and point which keeps the audience in a roar from
the rise to the fall of the curtain. Mies M. Oliver, who
takes the part of the Prince—in this case of Salerno— is •
Prince Imperial of burlesque; and Miss Charlotte Saunders,
for whom the part of the lackey, Dandini, is raised to
more than its ordinary share of important*, gives the imi-
tation of the primo tenors and leading tragedians which the
author ham introduced into her rele with a zest which, were
the piece leas meritorious than it is, would go far to ensue
its success. But the great "get up" is Mr. James Roger es
Clorinda, an impersonation of the feminine grotesque
which, except by Paul Bedford's Norma, or
Wright's Adelgisa -- which those who saw them
will never forget—probably stands unequalled on the
burlesque stage.

SECURITY FOR RAILWAY TRAVRLLERS.

The French Minister of Public Works has just
addressed the following circular to the engineers in chief
charged with the control of the railways, calling their atten-
tion to different measures calculated to swum psaseurrs
against such dangers as that of which M. Poinsot was hit, ly
the victim. The hon. minister says :
"Sir,—The set committed on the 6th inst. on the Eastern
Railway has caused the most painful and the must legite

Mr. T. Beard, solicitor, who appeared for the defendant,

if there was any person tO 'Line it was the market sutios-

which toll was paid. In comie•juence of such large numbers

France by the next courier, rid Marseilles. The
cardinal., convoked by his Holiness to a special

the church to be treated simply as a political question.

PIEDMONT.
(TROY • COMMIDENTa

GENOA, Fits. 28.

Everything looks very warlike here. The four
classes of oontingents have been called out, just as
they wave at this time lest year. I yesterday saw
a Piedmont's° general come from the environs of
Brescia. He says it is certain that the Austrians
are collecting near the Po, and that rumours are rife
all over the country of rapidly approaching hostili-
ties. A significant fact is that the same Austrian
military inspector (I don't know his exact title),
who last spring superintended the transport of
troops and material by the railroads, has been sent
down from Vienna to concert similar measures in
Venetia.

The Marquis Provane, a captain in the Sardinian
navy, who commands the flotilla on the Lago di
Garda, has arrived here to-day to take up more
gunboats. The fleet, too, is to be fitted out for
active service; the report now prevailing is that, as
soon as the annexation has been pronounced,
Austria, the Pope, and Naples will invade Central
Italy, that Sardinia is to bear the brunt of this
attack, whilst France will content herself with pro-
tecting Lombardy. Our army here stretched to the
uttermost will not exceed 120,000 men ; Central
Italy has about 40,000, but of course these are
mostly raw recruits.
I only arrived here the day before yesterday.
We came from Nice by land; the road even in its
winter dress looked surpassingly beautiful. I should
be very sorry indeed for any of it to become French.
I was assured by every one at Nice that it is only
the ehopkeeping interest that is desirous of the
annexation.

her usual complement of pawengera for Cork, and on reaching
the entrance of St. George's Charm 1, she encountered the
tremendous north-westerly gale, which drove her upon the

" Gentlemen, —Since I wrote yesterday there have beau
several articles of the cargo of the unfortunate vessel saved.
The medicine chest bears the name on the cover of " Nim-
rod," a portion of the stern of a boat hes also been stranded with
the same name upon it, besides a life buoy, which are sufficient
to prove her came. Several oars have come ashore branded
with " Sabrina," probably belonging to the Cork Com-
pany, and likely to have been on board the Nimrod. The
articles saved are-1 bale of black cloth, containing 7 pisses ;
also another onntaining 2 plea* ; 2 barrels of bottled
beer, " Bortorpon-Trent" marked on the casks.
besides one more damaged ; about 40 boles of
soap, 2 hogsheads of ship goods, 1 bag of
walnuts, with termed pieces belonging to the cabin sadly
bruised. The vessel went down In deep water. The goods
that have been mud came up with the tide about two miles
from whore she was lost. lam sorry to be obliged to con-
firm my statement of yesterday, that all bands perished.—

Yesterday the following letter was forwarded to
Lloyd's, reporting she shipwreck of a steamer off St. atria's
Read, and toss loss of all on board, in the gals on Tuesday
morning .
"St. David's Read, Feb. 28.

Gentlemen,—l have the *old news to inform you of
the loss of • large steamer this morning, about nine o'clock,
off this Head, WI a mile to the northward. The unfor-
tunate vessel was seen about 8 o'clock between the South
Bishop and Ramsay Island, driven before the gale, and to all
appearance under no command. She struck on the rocks,
and parted in three compartments. About thirty persons
were seen on beard, inoludbag some six soldiers, one female,
with four little children, which were seen clinging to her
when lest observed. Three of the unfortunate meatuses on
board each took to • lifebuoy, and jumped into the sea. Two
of them were seen to sink vary soon, the other man was
assisted by some spars, and kept on the water for about an
hour, but ultimately perished. An attempt was mode to
throw • rope on shore, but to no purpose, as the era was run-
ning high. With the exception of the three guffaws
before mentioned, all on board disappeared with the vessel.
Their cries were boutrending. As yet not • single
particle of the wreck nes come whore. Expect to save some
things on the ebb. Description of the vessel:—Three
masts, two whitewashed tunnels, top black; yellow peddle-
boxes ; figure-head with • red jacket ; port anchor down ; •
railway track on board. Her name, is white, could not be
made out. Further news next post ; writs this to save poet.
—I remain, "J. Wixttaus.
" To Meters. It. G. Jones, Price, and Co."
On the receipt of this intelligence a telegraphic message
was immediately forwarded to St. David's Head, in order to
obtain the name and further particulars of the ill-fated ship,
but owing to there being • break in the telegraphic commu-
nication of some 40 miles on this section of the South Wales
coast, no reply bad been received up to late last evening.
It is generally believed that the unfortunate vessel wee
from some port an Ireland, bet whether bound to Liverpool
or London is yet to he esowtsiewl.

above-amatiased company', vamped of 366 shame goading

Lased was formerly the wits of Charles John Biggs, and, at

806 shares in the above company, of which be we. tat roes-
tared shareholder. Mrs. Hisao then registered herself as
shareholder in respect of them shares, and was Monied as
inch to the Siamp-uffloe. She then sold 440 of these shares
(400 to one transferee end 40 to mother), the
rune form being observed as to each transfer, viz., a notice
to the bank that she had contracted to sell, *a, to to., end-
ing with the words, " held by me, Lewis Marianne
Biggs." fibs remained sell possessed of the remaining 366,
and received the dividends thereon. On the 17th Oct., 1880,
Mrs. Biggs married Major (than Captain) Luard, and by •

Marianne Biggs up to the time of its failure and winding-up.
No formal notice was ever given to the beak of Mrs. Sigges

the appeal was heard in January last, when Sir H. Cairns,

that Major Lnard'a name ought to have been placed on the

Mr. 8011,711, Q.C., Mr. Frovling, and Mr. Roxburgh,
appeared In support of the Vioe-Chanuellor'sorder.
Their Lordships were of opinion that, under the circum-
stances, the liability of the wife under the winding-up order
was one to which the husband upon the marriage became
subject under the general law during the ("overture, and that
the husband's name should therefore be put upon the list of
contributories,

lieved, from the interest the 'tie hes occasioned among all

The preparations are rapidly approaching completion, and
the hall has already assumed the appearance of a very
charmingly arranged ball-room. The gas illumination was
tested last evening, and the light was everywhere most
brilliant. The floral decoration is nearly Mashed, and when
complete is expected to prove one of tho most perfect artistic
displays ever attempted in this country.

TEE MATT OP OMVIMMF,ADDRAW TO

TEI CROWN.

The following are the terms of the motion to be
proposed in the House of Commove on Thursday evening,
by Mr. Byng :
" That as humble address be presented to her Majesty, to
amen her Majesty that, heiriag considered the treaty of
commerce ooecluded bairns her Majesty sad the Emperor
of the French, this home begs lOW to approach her
Majesty with their sinews end gratafel eeknowledgments
for this new proof of her Majesty's desire to promote the
welfare and happiness of her ittbjecte : To assure her
Majesty that we shall proceed to take each steps as may be
necessary for glviog effect to a system which we treat will
promote a beneficial intercourse between Great Britain and
Prance, tend to the extension of trade and manufacture,
and give additional security for the continuance of the
bliseingps of pesos."

Mr. Lindsey will move the addition of the following
words :—" While, however, we highly appreciate the efforts
made by the Emperor of the French in the adoption of the
bonnets' principles of trade which this treaty establishes,
we would njoiee to as those principles extended by a treaty
of navigation which should enable as to any out more
edeolvaally the interomuse between the two nations. We
therefore humbly pray that her Majesty will adopt such
measures as may appear best calculated, by means of a sup-
plementary treaty or otherwise, to carry into effect the
abolition of all differentia dales ea the trade carried on
in British and French vestals between the ports of England
and Frame, and their respective colonise and dependencies,
and from port to port within those limits."

INVi3TNYNTB BILL.

On the order for the sestet reading of the above bill, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained its gene-
ral nature. The government and management of
savings bank., and the security which depositors
ought to enjoy or do enjoy as respected the lia-
bilities to them, this bill, be said, had nothing to do
with. Its main object was to provide for • real and honk
fide statement of this portion of the national debt; it like-
wise imposed certain limitations upon the powers of the exe-
cutive government over the monies of savings banks and
friendly societies, and It provided • larger liberty of invest-
ment for those funds than heretofore, under certain restric-
tions, and • power of varying securities. The effect of the
proposed arraogements would be a permanent saving to the
country in two or three years of not less than 40,0001. or
60.0001. a year.
Mr. HENLEY observed that some of the provisions of
the bill required great consideration.
Mr. AYRTON, after pointing out the causes of the
heavy lose sustained upon the investments of the tondo of
savings banks, objected that the bill provided a very cir-
cuitous and complex mode of dialing with • very simple
matter.

Mr. RANK EY complained that the bill continued to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer the power of dealing with the
public funds at hie pleasure.
Toe bill was reed a aerind time.
The Packet Bayles (Transfer of Contracts) Bill and the
Medical Acts Amendment Bill passed through committee.
On the order for the second reeding of the Settled Estates
Act (1856) Amendment Bin,
Mr. BYNG moved to defer the amend reading for alx
months. reminding the hones of the repeated attempts which
had been made to effect the object of this bill, which had
felled.

Mr. WHITESIDE stated that this bill contained a clause
providing against the enclosing or building upon Hamp-
stead-heath by Sir T. Wilson.
The bill was opposed by Mr. James, Mr. Mooch, Lord
Fermoy, and Mr. Banbury, and supported by Mr. Bonverie
and Mr. George.
Upon a division, the amendment was carried by 86 to 43 ;
so the bill is lost.
