leaving a bare remunerative profit.

THE ROYAL PARK THEATRE

opened With a pantomime, based on the popular tale of
" Whittington and his Cat," the parentage and residence of
the hero being transferred, in defiance of tradition, from the
neighbourhood of Bow Bells to " ye antiente ports of
Liverpool." The adaptation was highly successful, and
promises to ensure the pantomime a good run.
THE QUEEN'S HALL.
Having recently noticed this house, we have not much to
add, except that Mr. Hoffman is unceasing in his exertions
in catering for the public appetite, which seems fit to
devour all the nice things which he has prepared for their
instruction and amusement. The house last night presented
a brilliant spectacle, being quite full ; and as for applause
bestowed on the entertainment, it was unbounded. There
are two classes of society for which this house and the
performance are peculiarly adapted—one is those who, from
conscientious or other scruples, refrain from visiting
theatrical representations, the other, the juvenile portion of
society, who are prevented (except at holiday times) from
enjoying themselves at exhibitions suited to their age, and
this because such so seldom (gars. For both these classes
Mr. Hoffman has amply provided, as well as for the general
public, and we understand that he has in preparation other
entertainments equally agreeable, and probably (if possible)
more attractive.

ile-ePes to which the telegra.phic. news from

the 't'angement between the King of Prussia and

ed thus :—All diplomatic relations having been
att bn off between them, no direct communication

I,*". ,ti::"°Y intention on either side of making any.
,ever-sia is ready to admit the mediation of any
who may undertake the office, either at
Ad l, land's request or otherwise, but the indis-
`l•v,,,.le conition of all negociations with that
`'nrctent d
remains still—the liberation of the

prisoners previous to trial. As this is made the
indispensable preliminary to negociation, it follows
that the liberation must also be unconditional; so
that, in the absence of any particular concessional
feeling on the part of Switzerland, we are in a fair
way of seeing warlike operations commenced
against the latter immediately after the turn of the
year.
For some days past it has been whispered about
in diplomatic circles here, that our Government
has lately appointed the Hon. Henry Howard, our
Minister at Lisbon, to be our representative at
Frankfort. We do not, however, hear anywhere of
our present representative, Sir Alexander Mallet,
having retired from the service, or received any
other appointment, so that for the moment it must
be presumed that there is a hitch in the arrange'

otherwise, as well as provisions for general con-

for the year 1857, and further articles added tO
those already well known, on payment of very
moderate duties.

The King has. named Mr. Hildebrandt, Court
painter at Berlin, a Knight of the Vasa Ordor of
Sweden. .

The committee appointed some time ago in the
affair of the fortifications of Stockholm, have, it is
said, sent in their estimate of cost of the plan,
which if carried out will amount to between
3,000,000 and 4,000,000 ; besides this, the arming
of the works of defence will require a further sum
of between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 more.

St. Petersburg accounts to the latest date state
that the mild temperature of 1 to 3 degrees, which
had prevailed for some days past, was by no means
welcome to people in business.
The thaw had caused the transport of goods over
the ice to become very difficult and dangerous; 31
ships had been enabled to return into the harbours
from various parts of the Neva, in consequence of
the channel cut through the ice for their passage.
The ice had commenced breaking up and float-
ing down the river Duna at Rig I, and the
communications for carriages and foot passengers
had consequently been interrupted across the
water.
I have to notice from this city that the Hamburg
Brazilian Steam Navigation Company, recently
set afloat, have, like the Hamburg New York
Company. decided upon ordering two additional
new steamers to be built for their line in Glasgow,
and to be ready early in the ensuing year.

MURDB RO US ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY

ROBBERY.

One of the most ruffianly attacks upon a pedestrian that has
taken place in the city of Manchester for some time past,
occurred last Sunday night, about half-past eleven o'clock. As
Air. Wm. Robinson, plumber, of Great Mount street, was
going home, and, when within fifteen yards of his own door,
two ruffians set upon him and, without saying a word, one of
them, Michael M'Namara, knocked him against some iron
railings, and then caught him by the neck, and he was pulled
down upon the ground. He got up, and then two more men
came up, and he was knocked down again by one of them.
He got up the third time and tried to make his escape into
a doorway, but the door was shut in his face, and he was
knocked down a fourth time. When then down, he was
kicked so that the blood flowed copiotpdy from his nose and,
mouth

One of the men, he belie-ved Michael M'tjamaral
snatched his watch just after be )t,,1 r:ceived the first blow"
The guard which was round his t) wis broken, When he
was on the ground he called out "'.klutder" and " Police." A
young man came up to his assi,t:mre, Mr. Robinson said to
him, " Are you for me ?" lie replied, " Oh, yes. They
are kicking the man to death." Mr. Robinson was thee
enabled to get up, as all the men ran away. He found his
watch upon the ground, and picked it up. He and the young
man then followed after the men, shouting " Stop thief."
William Tarbuck, the constable, was on duty in another street,
and while standing with his lamp darkened, ho saw two men
running up the'atreet• Thinking something was wrong, he fol.
lowed, and caught M'Narnara i❑ Booth alley, Deanegate. He
asked him what he was running for, upon which the man re-
plied there had been a row at a beorhouse in Gregson street.
The constable said he must go with him into Gregson street,
that he might see what it was. They went, and the constable
found his statement false. Just then Mr. Robinson came up
bleeding at the nose and mouth, :tad said he had been beaten
The constable then had M'Namara by the collar,
and on taking him to the light, Mr. Robinson at once identi-
fied him as the man who had first attacked him, and he was
taken into custody. On Wednesday, M'Namara, Martin
Foley, and John M'All, were severally charged at the City
Court, Manchester, with the offence in question, but there not
being sufficient evidence of the identity of Foley and M'All,
they were discharged. The remaining prisoner, M'Namara,
was committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes.
