BR James's Theatre. His new venture is called La Vivo*.
4aire ; or, Tree to the Corps, and those who are curious in
the records of the stage may be glad to know that it was
tried on a Liverpool audience easeful months ago, and re-
craved with sufficient favour to induce the author to repro-
duce it in London. In selecting the New Queen's as the
place for its reproduction, Mr. Gilbert has certainly been
fortunate. The drama of Dearer than Life is sufficiently
sambre in its interest to require a relief in the shape
of a bright and sparkling extravaganza—one-third
farce, one-third ballet, and the other third opera—
and the drama concludes at a period of the evening at
which the most bed-loving members of the audience
seldom evince a wish to retire. Those who know the
admirable burlesque sketchesof living dramas which Mr.
Gilbert contributes to the pages of a weekly comic con-
temporary, sketches which often give the concentrated
easence of a fire-act play in less than as many lines, will
scarcely need to be told that La Vivasidierc is full of
liqbriarltling writing, and that the liberties taken with the
libretto of the opera only add to the amusement of the
audience without destroying the coherence of the story.
Three out of four of all the summate burlesques that
have been produced in London during the last ten years—
the period that marks the Byron as distinguished from
the Platichi era—have all been written upon
operatic subjects. The Queen's Theatre is well able to
do justice to extravaganzas of this clams, as its company
is large and pliable, and its musical conductor, Mr. Wal-
lerstein, has the art of selecting music that is agreeable
and popular without taking the rinsings and " heel-taps"
of the lowest music-halls. The management have evi-
dently spared no expense in placing this extravaganza on
the stage—the Swiss scenery by Messrs. Grieve and Bone
is really beautiful—and the judgment shown in the selec-
tion of the ladies' dreams is a proof that some lady of
taste has been wisely consulted. Mr. J. L. Tools repro-
sosto the part of Sergeant Sulpizio with characteristic fun ;
Ness H. Hodson is a handsome and sprightly " daughter
d the regiment ;" Mr. L lirough a introduced as a
mysterious Count Roberto, who burlesques Manfred,
and turns out to be a husband in one caw and a father in
another ; while Miss P. Markham, Miss F. Addison' and
Miss Everard very effectively complete the cast of charac-
ters—original and imported. The piece has net one line
ass scene in it that is tedious, and its reception by a
crowaed house • as most enthusiastic.

THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The directors of the Caledonian Railway Coro
pauy have issued some "Observations on the
Report of the Committee of Inquiry," which are
apparently to be regarded as the report of the
board to the extraordinary meeting which has
been convened for the 29th inst. at Glasgow, to
consider the report of that committee. The reply
of the dircaors is brief. They request the atten-
tion of the shareholders to some appended " Obser-
vations" made by the company's auditors upon the
report of the committee's accountants. The direc-
tors say that they " are nut prepared to concur
with the committee in many of their views as to
the mode of stating the accounts," and they "ask
the shareholders to weigh well the statement by
the auditors before committing the company to tho
principles of accounting recommended by the com-
mittee, which are contrary, particularly on the
vital question of allocation of certain charges to
capital or revenue, not only to the recognised prac-
tice of most of the leading railway companies in
this country, but to the principles adopted by
government, and applied by them to the expendi-
ture of the railways in India guaranteed by them."
In confirmation of this latter allegation, the direc-
tors fall back upon a despatch from Sir Charles
Wood, then Secretary of State for India, to the
Governor-General, dated as far back as the 9th of
March, 1864, but, as Sir Charles Wood rightly de-
clared that the cost of maintaining in a proper con-
dition the works when completed must be charged
to the revenue account, as well as all repairs of the
existing rolling stock and plant, and as the report
of the committee of inquiry has expressly charged
themanagcnient with having, in dealing with these
very matters, unduly strained the dividends, it is
difficult to see how the board can exonerate them-
selves ny referring to the dicta of Sir Charles
Wood. The directors then allude generally to
the obligation imposed upon them in the past of
protecting the company's principal sources of traffic
from invasion. The only practical recommenda-
tion upon which they venture is that the share-
holdenishouldapplytocertainchargesss,794/. out of
the balance of premium account, by which plan
38,3471. out of that fund " would be left toward
dividend for the current and the following half-
year, by which period it is expected the Cleland
and Mid-Calder Railway will be opened for traffic,
and be a revenue-producing line.' The directors
state, in conclusion, that " they are prepared to
plea!, their seats at the disposal of the shareholders,
either by a partial or total retirement, should the
shareholders consider it for the interest of the
company that they should do so."
The " Observations" of the company's auditors,
Messrs. John Young and John Graham, referred to
in the foregoing, extend to greater length. The
auditors, referring to the allegation of the com-
mittee's accountants that " the net revenue of the
two years referred to has been over-stated in the
published accounts of the company by the sum of
219,114/. the 7d." declare that to the extent of
179,1611., they differ entirely from the views of the
accountants. while to the extent of a further sum
of 18,321/. they also differ, though to a less degree.
The auditors' reasons for arriving at these conclu-
sions are set forth in detailed statements. Wben the
auditors state, as they do, that the accounts, as
officially rendered, have contained all such details
as were really requisite for the information of the
shareholders, it strikes us that they are literally
justified in their assertion ; but this merely goes to
show that the forum in which railway companies
systematically render their accounts is not a
form sufficiently intelligible to the ordinary reader.
But when the auditors further affirm that " their
audit, notwithstanding the objections raised, has
been carried out strictly in accordance with the
existing principle* applicable to railway accounts;
we cannot help thinking that they are practically
begging the question, and that, if anything, they
merely prove what every one really acquainted
with railway accounts is perfectly aware of, that
no sound principle of railway " accounting" has
ever been established with a view to being acted
upon. In another column we reproduce in full
the " Observations" both of the directors and of
the auditors.
Accompanying these documents comes news from
Glasgow contirnung yesterday's rumour that Colonel
Salkeld, the chairman, has actually resigned. It
is to be hoped that at the meeting on the 29th the
shareholders will be prepared with a definite plan
of action.

Mu. F. S. CORR/NCR, M.P., ow LABOUR AND
CAPITAL-Mr. F. S. Corranoe, 11.1'. for East Suffolk,
lectured before the Ipswich Mechanics' Institution on
Tuesday evening on the relations of labour and capital.
He advocated a full, fair. anti calm discussion of the sub-
ject. Trades 11111001 appeared to rest upon a twofold
basis. In the first place, they were friendly societies;
and secondly, they sought to impose trade laws, He
was afraid they would hardly stand examination as
friendly societies, and if they were not certified by the
registrar they were evidently unsound. Further, there
were no calculations upon which they could be based as
friendly su,deties. In the second place, he feared trades
unions promised more than they could perform. They
said that they would secure a more constant level
work at a constant level price. But could they do this?
He was afraid they could not, for to do it an absolute
knowledge was required upon certain points. Thus, if we
were to settle wages as they related to any particular
trade, we must know all the conditions of that
trade ; we must know its foreign relations, and we must
know exactly how far demand and supply would keep
pace. He doubted whether strikes achieved the good
which they were intended to effect, and whether long ones
did not really lessen the competition for labour, by clear-
ing out of the labour market small capitalists, and so in-
creasing the monopoly of the few. He did not think the
trade outrages of which we had heard so mean ought to
be regarded as part of the question ; they were evidence.
of weakness and of mime, but they bad nothing to do
with the intrinsic merits of the ease on either rids.

any indications of the prevalen;
ton, for instance, the streets were crowded as
usual; the shop. windrows filled with tempting
wares ; gay equipages, loaded vans, and trades-
men's carts perpetually rolled to and fro ; throngs
of purchasers filled the market avenues ; popular
concert rooms found every seat fully occupied ;
professional mendicants seemed as rare as the
Dodo ; while, as for tattered coata and ragged
shawls, more of these might be witnessed on a
single Saturday night in Whitechapel, than could
be found by standing for a month in Fishergate,
or any other of the leading Preston thorough-
fares. Yet the distress bad unmistakably taken pos-
seasion of the greater part of the once prosperous
town. There were few working-class homes in
which the bread winner of the family did not find
himself compulsorily standing idle, and compelled
to part reluctantly, bit by bit, with each article of
furniture or clothing on which could be raised a
few pence for the purpose of buying a little food
with which to satisfy the cravings of hunger, or
replenishing the fireless grate. The true story of
Lancashire s woe and suffering has yet to be
related. Day after day we beheld scenes which
would have melted the stoutest heart, and the
remembrance of which caused us many a sleepless
night. And as it was in the cotton manufacturing
districts then, so ia it in East London now. One
may pass through Poplar High-street, and noting
only the well-to-do appearance of the va-
rious shops—the profuse liberality with which
the butchers, bakers, grocers, and other tradesmen
have garnished their respective establishments—
arrive at the sage conclusion that he is in any-
thing but a distressed neighbourhood ; and yet
within the very shadow of the houses in the High-
street are to be witnessed scenes fully as terrible,
as heart-rending, as any that ever moved the
sympathetic heart of the nation during the gloomy
hour of Lancashire's bitter need and trial. So is
it also in Bethnal-green, in Shored-itch, in Stepney,
Limehouse Shadwell, Whitechapel, and other
parts of East London where the want-demon
claims his thousands of shrinking and unwilling
victims. Here hundreds of homes have gradually
been despoiled of their furniture, of the family
Sunday clothing, of all the little cherished trea-
sures of such trifling intrinsic value, but so dear
to their once possessors—that the children and
the aged ones might not perish of starvation—
that the wolf might be kept from the door, and the
family spared the detested stigma of pauperism.
It is difficult for the industrious artisan to bring
himself to accept of parochial relief. You may
sedulously explain to him that he has a right to
such relief, that its acceptance is not necessarily an
act of degradation. In vain, He knows that the
brand will always remain attached to him, that in
workshop and factory he will ever be taunted by
his fellow-workmen with having accepted the
pauper's dole. Moreover, it is a terrible ordeal for
him to pass through, to find himself—a man whose
pride and boast it ever was that he had scorned to
beg a penny in his life—huddled up with the lazy,
the vicious, the criminal, and the habitual poor, in
the hot and reeking waiting-room of the parish
workhouse moodily biding his turn to be examined
before the guardians. It is a fearful—too oft a
fatal—blow to his feelings of self-respect. We
have witnessed, over and over again, during the
present winter, the hesitating step and crimsoned
cheeks with which such people have entered, for
the first time in their lives, the union portals ;
marked the feelings of mingled shame and awe
with which they have spoken to the pauper servitors
in attendance ; and noted the extreme diffidence
with which they silently took their places among
the noisy, gossiping, bold-faced crowd which tilled
the waiting-room. More than this, we have ob-
served with pain the gradual development of the
pauper spirit in these unfortunate victims of
dearth of work ; how the hesitating step and
faltering tone became less and less marked each
successive time that they came to receive their
allotted doles, until at last all trace of shame had
utterly disappeared from their features, and they
could boldly face it out with the most obdurate
pauper present. And it is this circumstance which
has made the strongest impression on, our minds.
It marks, we fear, the social and moral decadence
of a large proportion of our industrial population.
The present distress will, as in previous instances,
pass away in due time, but the pauper element will
have become largely increased. Among working
men it is a common saying that " once a pauper
always a pauper," and the experience of most
pariah officials tends to show that when once a man
has accepted pariah relief he seldom hesitates, on
the least emergency, to seek it a second time. This
renders it the more to be deplored that the mag-
nificent sums contributed by the public for the
relief of East-end distress should not have been
better managed, or utilised, as in Bethnal-green,
where the local employment and relief committee
have contrived to furnish an example which might
advantageously be imitated in the other parishes.
The Bethnal-green system confessedly possesses one
excellence, of which few or none of the other modes
of independent relief in East London can boast ;
it tends to prevent the working man from
becoming irretrievably mixed up with the vast army'
of cadgers, loafers, and idlers which has invaded
the eastern parishes, bringing with it the over
active and pernicious elements of discontent. de- I
moralisation, and social ruin. The establishment
of a few schools for adults, attendance at which
formed an essential condition of relief, as at Black-
burn, during the Lancashire distress, would have
proved an appreciable boon to many of the unem-
ployed, hundreds of whom can neither read nor
write. It would have afforded a powerful stimulus
towards correcting an educational deficiency which
no legislative measure cau remedy, and the good
effects of which would have been incalculable. Not
a few of our workmen's daughters, too, might be
trained in the art of cooking plain dinners, a
branch of knowledge in which many of our
female operatives have yet much to learn.
Such establishments as the public kitchen
recently opened in Miss Burdett Coutts's
model buildings, in Bethnal-green, afford
an admirable opportunity for something of this
kind, as do the various soup-kitchens in Shadwell
and elsewhere. There are hundreds of working
men's wives whose only notion of preparing a
dinner is to pare a few potatoes, place them in a
tin dish, put a pound or two of meat at the
top, and send the whole to the baker's oven to be
balled. Puddings and pies are beyond their reach.
Too frequently this ignorance is the result of
poverty. They often cannot afford the fuel requi-
site for preparing the simplest meal. Hence they
generally have to put up with comparatively dear
and unwholesome food, which, combined with 1131-
pure sir and severe privation, tends to produce the
large amount of ophthalmia now prevalent in the
distressed parishes. Sewing classes have been
established in connection with some of the relief
committees, and in a few instances they appear to
work very well, but from want of proper organisa-
tion and 00-operation their results are lees per-
ceptible than would otherwise have been the case.
As regards the alleged trades unionist proclivities of
the Poplar artisans, it is unquestionably true that, as
a class, they would, in ordinary times, act pretty
much as other workmen generally do • that is,
strike, whenever the opportunity occurred, for
higher wages ; but they certainly would not at pre-
sent refuse work offered them at less than the usual
rate, unless, indeed, they were asked to supply the
places of men out on strike, in which case it would
be extremely difficult to induce them to t
accep
work on any terms. Not a few have expressed a
desire to emigrate to Australia or America, but
they do not possess the requisite means; besides,
it is doubtful whether it would be sound policy on
our part to allow the country to lose the services
of so many skilled and experienced mechanics. It
would be far better, certainly more economical in
the long run, to endeavour to supply them with

two loaves per day. The parish has been divided
into two districts, and a relief committee
appointed to each. Two additional relieving
officers have also been appointed temporarily.
These and other changes show that the East-end
guardians are animated by a more liberal spirit
than formerly, their chief difficulty being the
limited resources at their command. It has been
proposed that the various boards of works should
find employment on the roads for the destitute ;
but this, save in one or two exceptional cases, is
manifestly impossible, although were it not for the
numerous legal and other impediments which ob-
struct the realisation of the desires of those who
would fain behold our large waste spaces, such as
London-fields, converted into popular recreation
grounds, as was the case with Kennington-common,
hundreds of able-bodied labourers would speedily
be provided with employment in transforming the
score or so acres of muddy waste land which now
disfigure East London into pretty lawns and gar-
dens, to the immense gain, both moral and social,
of the labouring poor—the great mass of whom
find Victoria-park almost the only place of out-
door recreation accessible to them. The East-end
would certainly not be any the worse for a little
Haussmannising. But then London is not Paris—
nor do we wish it to be so.

the first man should go out and procure the remainder ;
and, following the example of the prisoner, as a mark of
confidence and to ensure their return, they left their
pocket-books also, the prosecutors' containing 841. The

THAMES.
Yesterday a deputation from the hamlet of Mile-end
Old Town Relief Association, consisting of Mr. Spencer
Charrington, chairman ; Mr. H. A. Flowers, of the Mis-
sion-house, in Silver-street, Stepney ; Mr. Southwell,
vestry clerk, and clerk to the guardians of Mile-end ; Mr.
William Newton, the representative of the hamlet at the
Metropolitan Board of Works ; and the Rev. John Ken-
nedy, • dissenting minister, sought for and obtained an
interview with Sir. Hermon on the subject of the appalling
distress prevailing in the hamlet.
Mr. Southwell said the association was established in
consequence of appeals having been made for small dis-
tricts in the hamlet of Mile-end Old Town, containing
84,000 inhabitants; and Mr. Heed, the partner of Mr.
Spencer Charrington, was risked to be treasurer of one of
them, to which he objected. An association was then
formed at the suggestion of Messrs. Cbarrington and Head,
embracing the whole of Stile-end Old Town, and a com-
mittee consisting of clergymen of the established church,
dissenting ministers, Roman catholic priests, and gen-
tlemen of every creed and every shade of pe.itice, was
formed, the hamlet divided into districts and
sub-districts, visitors appointed who, before relieving,
visited every case. The subscriptions received, however,
were small in amount owing to the large amount of
sympathy being manifested in favour of the large west-
end association. from which only one grant of 1001. had
been made and more could not be expected. The Mile-
end Association had for the week ending January 18
distributed 679 loaves of 41bs. each, 249 cwt.. of coals,
558 tickets of Is. each for neat, 572 shilling tickets for
grocery, and 7!. 16s. in cash from ls. to Is. each, in addition
to a larger amount of relief in the previous weeks of the
winter. The object of the deputation was to ask the
magistrate to assist the association with a donation from
the poor-box fund. The deputation urged strongly that
there ought to be one central association independent of
the Poor-law Board and its officials, like the Lord
Mayor's Committee of last year, who should receive
all funds and make grants in aid of the various
local committees who proved themselves worthy of con-
fidence.
Mr. Newton said the amount in the hands of the asso-
ciation would soon be exhausted, and he hoped that the
magistrate would not send the deputation away without
funds.
Mr. Southwell said the number of out-door poor relieved
in the week ending Saturday last by the guardians was
3,orm, and in the corresponding week of the preceding
year the number was 1,264 only.
11r. Cherrington, Mr. Flowers, and the Rev. John Ken-
nedy said the Mile-end Relief Association met with myriads
of eases which the poor-law could not reach.
Mr. Benson said he had not met withth an association of
which he more warmly approved a e one represented
be the respectable deputation before him. He was satisfied
that the Mile-end Old-town, Stepner),etßelief Association
could deal with the existing distress ter than any other
society which existed. What struck him as being very
satisfactory was that on the committee there were persons
et all religious denominations. That was just as it should
be. All sects should work harmoniously together for the
relief of distress. The poor-box was not very rich, but he
would most cheerfully present to the committee a gift of
30/. He was very sorry be could not give more.
The deputation thanked the magistrate and withdraw.

DEATH OP A FENIAN IN MILLBANIC PRISON.-
On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Charles St. Clair Bedford,
the coroner for Westminster, held an inquiry respecting
the death of as Irish Fenian, named Edward Duffy, aged
28 (formerly. a draper in Dublin), in the Penitentiary, Mil-
bank. The jury were *wpm:elted in an arched vault next
to where the body lay. The outride of the prison was
guarded by police in twos, with Guthman and revolvers,
and the interior by the Grenadier Guards. The deceased
appeared to have been a man about Mt, Tin. in height, with
dark moustache and beard. His body prenatal an
I emaciated appearance. On tbe jury proceeding to
the inquest-room, Mr. H. Wallach, the deputy-
r, said he received the deceased on the
Lnof October, 1887, from PentonvWe Prison.
Joeso Randall, ilrmary warder, said he had charge of
the dsoeamd from his admiseion till the time of his death,
which occurred on the 17th of January. The deoeseed
expressed his surprise at the very kind treatment he ex-
perienced, having heard that the Penitentiary was the
worst prison in England. Vincent ?Anon", visiting
priest, said he saw the deceased every day, and the
latter expressed his gratitude for the kind treatment he
received. Shortly before his death dammed dictated a
letter to his surer in America. Attar this he began
gradually to sink, and had the Increment administered
to hiss. He died at halt-past eleven o'clock on the 17th
January. Edward Pooklington, essistanbourgeon, saw the
doeseeed on his admission on the 4th of October. He
wee put to bed, and some wine was given to him.
The surgeon found him suffering from in&mmation of
