THEA TRICALS, 4.c.

MR. HENRY LESLIE'S CHOIR.—A" private performance"
was given by this choir, at the Hanover square Room!, on
Tuesday evening, under the direction of their able conductor.
It was called private because it was given by invitation;
but the great room was full, and the audience as fashionable
and briliant as at one of the public concerts of the Amateur
Musical Society, of which this choir is an offshoot.

Tom TurstE's CARRlAGE.—Yesterlay, at the Mansion
House, "the Lord Mayor said that Tom Thumb's" carriage
had become a very dangerous nuisance, as accidents had
happened, as well as robbezies been committed, in conea.
quence of the practice of pickpockets in the crowds which
followed the toy. As there was so much offence in it,
directions should be given to. the police to prevent the
carriage from entering at Temple bar.
NEw YORK, Jtin. 3.—Broacheay Theatre : Since our
last report Mr. H. Lorraine•has appeared as Don Cagar de
Baran, Hamlet, and Viryinius. The audience most took 3
faccy to his pourtrayal of the Spanish Don. He will play
" Hamlet" for his benefit next week.

SPAIN.—The Madrid journals state that a company of the
best Spanish dancers, male and female, is lacing formed is
that city torso to St. R t,Tsburg.
BAVARIA.—The perform loco of Schiller's drama of
" Tell" has been prohibited, for the present, at the
Theatre R)yal at Munich.

PARIS.—The literary debut of Mlle. Augustine Brohan
he Accomolished actress and conversationalist, in the
columns of Figaro, has taken place, thoi!gh scarcely to the
universal satisfaction of the readers of that satirical journal.
Mlle. Brohan will probably not be called upon to support
tier criticisms in the field, as often has been the case with
her predecessors, for she cannot be expected to receive a
ball in her crinoline, or to expose her valencienne't to the
chances of the small sword. It may therefore be supposed
that her appreciations of persons will be distinguished for
their remarkable candour. Already, in her first Parii
review, Mlle. Brohan attacks Dr. Veron and M. Ponsard
with pleasing severity, and we can sympathise with neither
of her victims. Dr. Veron, a species of French
Johnson—thatDr-
is, he possesses the paunch and pomposity
of the great moralist, without his wit or grammar--i 5
reduoed to his proper level, whilst Ponsard, ,t Divine
Williams," Ponsard, is introduced to prove the very sligl?
moral influence exercised by dramatic, writings on‘the pall°
or on their authors. The Empress Eugenie and the Priacog
Mathildc were present on Sunday at the second concert
given by the pupils of the " Conservatoire."

ACCIDENTAL DEATH,—Yesterday, a man named Joseph
Alcock, who lived at Wigan, died in the Northern Hospital,
in consequence of injuries received on Saturday last at the
North Dock Station. 'lt appeared that deceased fell off
ladder, but the details will be elicited this day at an inquest
which will be held on the body.
THE WEATHER.—Since Tuesday night has been severe
and ch:mgeable. Frost set in on Tuesday with an urinal;
ally cold atmosphere, yesterday forenoon:Was very c01d.,. and
about two o'clock, a heavy fall of snow came down, but
was of a soft description, and melted qu'ckly. It continued
for some hours, and there is every indication of Well
weather.

THE CHAIRMANSHIP OP THE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE,
AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANT.—We have
heard that another change has taken place in the chair
manship of this company. It is stated that Mr. Atkinson,
who has filled the chair but a short time, and who succeeded
Mr. Bancroft, has resigned his office, and is succeeded b 1
Mr. Titherington.

THE LATE MR. G. HOLDEN.--By advertisement
another 'column, it will be seen that the oratorio of the'
" Mesaiah," will be performed in St. George's Hall., °Ti
Friday, the 6th of February, for the benefit of the vedo°l
and children of the late Mr. G. Holden. A grand corabili3.
tion of local talent are advertised for the occasion ; wheor
we doubt not, the proceeds will prove a handsome addition
o the funds already subscribed.

LIVERPOOL STEAM TUG COMPANY..—AR eXtTaoraitial
general meeting of the proprietors of this company was bell
vestcrday at the Clarendon rooms, South John street;
to
There was a large attendance. After several attempts t
get a chairman to preside, Mr. Titherington was elected `

carried, the business was proceeded with, the nature
which, however, did not transpire.

Oust readers will perceive by an advertisement in GI
columns, that we are to have a regular steam comtnur.icati°a
between this port, and the iron and coal ports of Cardiff
Newport, in South Wales. The line is to be opened wi'h
a powerful steamer on the 12th February, to run from eile
port weekly, and we understand the company will shoeli,lo
put on two or three more of their boats to facilitate the
transit of iron, coals, &c. This has been a desiderata;,
long felt, and we are glad to see that one of our respeut°ll,
firms have exhibited such an enterprising spirit; which wl, .
we have no doubt, be appreciated by the mercantile
munity of this and the Welsh ports.

ALL IN THE Faarn.r—.-- Ytsterclay, officer Carlyle, of the
,:
detective police, arrested a person named Charles Mentlool
a native of London, on the following charge. It appetite:,
that a telegraphic message had been received in tont
describing the prisoner, and stating that he had abseoneZ,
from London, taking three rings, (tivo diamond and oat
diamond and emerald) value £7O, and a gold watch 0"x
chain, value £5O, the property of his sister. The aietig
kept a look out for the prisoner, and arrested him ill
Waterloo road, and found the articles above stated in possession. He then found that he had paid his pass.iir-.t4
the ship Albert Gallatin, for New York. He brought bier
to the central office, when a message was received
telegraph to send up the prisoner" to London at once, $l/
this was done by the next train that went up.

On Wednesday evening, soon after the Egremont
se
Wallasey left the Landing-stage, she, from some cause he
yet unexplained, sprang a leak. The result was that sja
soon after filled with water. and the lives of the passengei,
were in the most imminent danger. _ -Tne leak was, It'll
ever, almost immediately discovered, and the CaPreg
directed the boat to be steered into the Prince's u"
„d
basin, at the mouth of which she soon after arrived 3-all
immediately sank. The passengers on board were At
saved by being taken on board the Seacombe boat.
present there are various rumours as to the cause of !110'
accident, but that which is most believed is, that on 1:0),
Wallasey leaving the landing stage, she came in contact v. 304
the anchor of one of the boats lying at the ferry preview,
to starting. During the night a number of men tv!„,,e
employed in pumping the vessel, and at an early c-1414
this morning she was hauled into the basin, where l',er
will remain until silo can be removed to undergo Otoo
repairs. Fortunately, no loss of life or casualty Oot
