The Paris recaps of yesterday gives the following
detailed amount of the dudurbenee at the Porte
St. Martin Theatre, alluded to by err Paris Corre-
spondent in his letter published yesterday :
Yesterday evening, at the Asst performance at the
Pens St. Martin's ems, Mille. Silly was upon the sten%
and had just parodied, in an ri,prope song, the tones and
gestures of Mlle. fichnsidor, of the Varlet& It should
be known that parodies of this kind are customary in cures.,
that they ahsort always amuse the Parisians, who vehe-
mently applaud them when they are well does. This on

tainly would have soon made him hold his tongue. For I

any very well-defined object in abetting. ,The police

restored, when in phis of the spat • cooked het bp

darmes advanced to the recalcitrant Mew, and pot their
hands upon his shoulder. The publics down below, which
attentively watched the seen, at fine let things take

merely obeys ordees. These carry off oar friend bodily,
and we see his legs kinking by way of • find and mule
protest. Immediately there arose • forlorn uproar, the
like of which I sever heard, not even at Gaetano. Shouts
of " Bring him beck !" " Let him return:" are heard amid
a frightful uproar. The curtain falls, end the manager
arrives. He is not even allowed to make his
three customary bows. "No!" " No explanations !"
" Let him return." "Hs has a right to do so." The un-
happy men walks from one side of the stage to the other,

quy, of which we do not hoar • word, he goes oat back-
wards, end returns a few moments afterwards,,leading by
ths hand Laurent, the actor. The management no doubt,
hoped that the sight of such • favourite actor would calm
the storm. But the pleasant, simple, and wan fan of
Laurent avails nothing against this outburst. The tem-
pest recommences with more fury than ever. They are
no longer shouts-they are roars of anger ; every arm is
outstretched mow:dopy towards the two men who seem
in consultetioo, and who work their hands, in deepen,
like the sails of a windmill. Another five minutes pass
What was being done meanwhile behind? A dollen,
roe, Ito doubt, was held: perhaps some one was aunt
to consult DI. Pistri-to know if the law was to
prevail. Anyhow the scene lasted twelve or fourteen
minutes, and if it had been prolonged the public would
have played havoc, so great was its exasperation. At last
we hoar shouts of " There he is !" " There he is!" and
my gentleman reappears, in fest very pale, but with a
composed and modest countenance. On every aide there
then arose tremendous shouts; in the dress circle the ladies
waved their handkerchiefs ; in the stalls his entrance
was hailed with three times three. The incident
was over. The public had prevailed. We may
derive some useful lessons from this singular
story. The first is that crowds have lately become singu-
larly susceptible. Three or four years ago things would
not have passed in this way. The public would not have
shown its teeth so easily, and would not have enforced
its will with so much energy. This little circumstance is
• serious symptom. I see in the second place that though
it may be dangerous to resist the agents of authority in
the cemeteries, we must defend ourselves in the
theatres. Had this gentleman allowed himself to be gently
carried off by the gendarmes, he would have pused
, the night in the look-up. It was his energetic and des-
perate rains/toe which so thoroughly aroused the sym-
pathy of the public that the police ended by surrendering
their prey. Finally, the prefect of police will no doubt
remark that it was his agents who caused all the trouble.
When be gives to subaltern servants the authority he
attributes to himself, he ought only to have in his service
people of intelligence. It is not an easy thing ta manage
a crowd; it requires much tact and dexterity. These gen-
tlemen displayed on this occasion much clumsiness. As
soon as they saw the disposition of the public
they ought to have yielded with a good grass and with-
drawn discreetly. When the all-powerful and irrespon-
sible agents display in the exercise of their functions a
certain rough violenee, they draw upon themselves the
rap on the knuckles they have just received. Have only
Taller ands he pain agents, or yea informally expose
yourselves to affronts such as those you were victims to
yesterday.

ST. JAL 'S.
Mr. Craven, a clever actor whose style is mainly
founded on some of the mannerisms of the late Mr.
Robson, and a very successful writer of little domestic
drums that being to the same clam es the Porter's Knot,
made his fiat appearance for eight yens at this theatre
last night in the double capacity of somedian and dramatic
author. The piece he has given to a St. James's audience
is a five-act comedy, called The Ifeeettel, which, as its
title implies, is based upon the important and much-used
subject of money. During the last three or four weeks we
I have had to notice the production of several pieces that
were more complicated than interesting, and Mr. Craven's
sew comedy is even more complicated in construction
than these pieces. How She Loves Hiss has two stories
that run on parallel lines, and consequently never meet ;
No Thoroughfare has a big story and • little
story, and the big one has to carry the little one on its
bath ; Humbug has intricacies of plot which no one has
had the courage to grapple with ; and now The Needful
seises before as with twelve or fourteen characters, who
meaty hunt in couples, end present as with six or seven
ellerect "juries that are dovetailed with the most mit-
pissed ingenuity. As soon as we begin to take • slight
interest in one couple, the/ disappear from the stage. and
their place is occupied by another couple, who talk for
about an equal time and then resign in favour of another
comae, who go through a similar performance. There are
• Mr. and Mrs. Meek—obviously copied from the pair of
the same •••,••ho figured • little time ago in'Penck—who
remand the " henpecked " husband and domineering
wife through four acts, and the roused husband and bum-
bled wife in the fifth sot. The author has given a
little variety to this well-known theatrical pair of
puppets by making the wife an amateur doctor, and
the husband • patient, physioked into bile and submis-
sion. These are two servants, who have • little love
story of their own ; there are two rescals—a " honey"
schemer and his mere clever servant, who have • little
plot of their own; there is a young lady who is proposed
to by mistake in nearly every act, and her brother, who is
equally unfortunate in his matrimonial designs; there are
two pairs of lovers who are constantly playing at cross-
palpates, and are furnished by the author with two of
those carious wills of deceased relatives, whith are almost
peculiar to the stage, and justify the most eccentric con-
dom* ; these an a homely couple who may be Quakers or
primitive methodists, if we judge by their dress, whose
object appears to be to supply " the needful" is large

the meek step-daughter, the vacillating lover, the tamed
husband, the swindling !octane hunter, the heiress courted
for her money, the young lady who wants to get married
and fails, In., he., &c. In casting the characters the
author has not been very fortunate. lie has given the
disagreeable and unsuccessful husband-hunter to Miss
Balton, who is far too pretty and agreeable to represent
such • part with anything like probability ; be has kept
Mir Herbert nay snuck in the took-groued as the heiress,
though he has given her one effective scene in which she
unmasks and derides a mercenary lover ; he has called Mr.
Belford from the Strand, • very amusing comedian, to play
ea Waimea. which Mr. Belford does with a brogue that
only makes the dialogue very misty. In other characters
Mr. Ceara% rotes sad treatment of the actors have been
more happy. His Mr. and Km Meek were well played by
Mr. D. Evans and Mies Laricin—the gentleman looking like
a most hopeless victim of indigestion. His tampering
selfish " swell " was very well represented and toned down
by • Mr. Holman, who made his first appearance at this

in EMS dialogue. Tbs comedy of lad night, which
