A LARGE -SECOND-HAND STOOK TO BE SOLD AT A GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICE

MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY AND
ARTISTIC GOSSIP.

The many 'friends of one of the -greatest and most
wmiabl e of modern musicians, Herr Ernst, will hear with
ipleasu re that his health has improTed by his residence at
Nice, and that he has, been turning retirement to account
by co mpositien.
At -the St. Jameszs Theatre -a new comedietta, called
" Th e Chattcrbox," -wes produced on Saturday evening.

Tlte Lyceum opens -to-day under the management of
Mmes. Celeste, with a drone fafitastique, called Pain
and Pleasure; or, Home and Happiness."
It is rumoured that her Majesty's Theatre is about to
be opened-for dramatic performances, the prices of ad-
mission to that once aristocratic hOuse to be so low as to
admit of a sixpenny;gallery. We (Literary Gazette)
hear that the idea of this speculation has arisen from
professional rivalry.
The :Revu des nultres, in an Article on dramatic
piracy, makes the following observations upon the
conduct ef liritish "adapters fraud is carried
on in England upon a: rand scale. :It is shameless, but
its effrontery is unditvuised. It- shelters itself behind
subtleties and chicanery. In the present state of things
it is impossible to grapple with , it. It takes advantage
of the vagueness of the treaty, and au action is im-
possible, for. a London you must be rich if you would

litigate:—you must sow rounds to reap farthings. Public
attention, however, is awakened. This unexampled
system of theft has aroused the attention of honest men,
and the English press itself proclaims-the abuse. It is
to be hoped that the Gcvernment in the presence of
these facts will interpose its authority, and call for a
revision of the treaties, the execution a which is im-
possible, or at mast not guaranteed." What will Mr.
`!Tom Taylor_ say to this ?

The Rev. Mr. Pycroft is writing a,sequel to his work
'I" Twenty Years in the Chnrch." .It is. to be entitled
"Elberton Rectory."
Mr. W. M. Thackeray will deliver a •lecture to the
members of the. Bury.Athenxum, Suffolk, an "Humour

The whole,ef the first edition has been sold within itkree I

for a work published at so high a price—i 2 10s. 'The

Mr. Murray's trade sale came off on TuesAity, with a
success 'which speaks well for the prosperity of the new
literary season. Captain lliTlintock was the hero of
the day. Of his "Narrative of the Voyage of the Fox
in the Arctic Seas, and of the Discovery of the Fate of
Sir John Franklin and his Companions," thei.e were
sold 7,600 copies. Of this number Mr. liudie alone
took 3,000 copies.
Prince Lucien Bonaparte, our expert philologist, has
printed, for private circulation, two more specimens of
English dialects as spoken in the present year. One
specimen is in the Cornish dialect, the other is in that
of Dorset. The latter is the more droll and curious.
For each specimen the Song of Solomon has been
chosen; so that comparisons between the two arc as
easy as they are " odious."
The Royal Academicians are called together on the
6th of December to consider the first of those measures
of organic reform which the public have begun to
demand at their hands—an increase in the number of
Associates. The discussion will come on at the instance
of Mr. Cope. A good feeling is said to prevail in the
Academy towards this opening; and the adoption of
Mr. Cope's reform would go far to replace the Academy
in- public and parliamentary confidence.

Exvitaoatirsanv AND USEFUL Isrvzsmon.—There is nothing
that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such thing ,s cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want
has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect- manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these; but in
marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our
neighbour's' and the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the
agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
themselves by looking in at; his establishment. Agent for

Thames Tunnel, and to authorise the Brighton, South
liastern, London and North-Western, Eastern Counties,
and North London Railway Companies to subscribe to
the undeetaking, and to make traffic arrangements.
The ...eilmantodit de Gotha for 1860, which has just
npeaxed, does,not take any notice of the changes made
inltaly ,by the lest war, with the exception of Lom-
bardy. l'he reason apparently is, 'nothing is yet
officially decided on. Lombardy no longer stands under
the head of Austria, neither does it find a place in the
article relative to Piedmont. Nothing is changed in the
Almenack in the Boman States, nor in the Duchies of
Tuscany, Parma, and Modena; the Marquis Taney de
Nerli remains designated as the representative of the
Grand Duke Ferdinand IV. The Almanach is evidently
waiting until the Congress shall have definitively de-
cided,on the re-organisation of Central Italy.

NARROW ESCAPE or MR. Bass, XP:—On Tuesday
evening last a singular accident, which might have been
attended. ith fatal consequences, happened Mr. Bass,
the eminent brewer, M.P. for Derby. It appears that
the honourable member, who had been. attending the
banquet given to the ex-Mayor of Derby, left Derby by
the 10.14 p.m. Birmingham train. On his arrival at Bar-
ton-upon-Trent he was met by his brougham, the coach-
man and a valet sitting on the box. Byrkley-lodge;
Mr. Bass's residence, is about four miles from
Burton-upon-Trent. The night was very foggy, and
although the carriage lamps were
.lightedr it-was with
difficulty the coachman could find his way. On ar-
riving at the turn of the road leading to the forest,
the coachman
.unfortunately, through the dense fog-
that prevailed, made a wrong turn, and drove the car-
riage into the middle of the canal. Mr. Bass tried to
open the door, but could not for some time, but, as the'
vehicle gradually filled with water, he was enabled, to
do so, and then swam to the bank on the other side.,
where his valet had arrived before him. The coach-
man remained on the box, managing to keep the4iorsesr
heads above, water until an alarm was raised, and:
several cottagers residing, close by came to their assist-
ance. 'ln about an hour the horses were safely landed,
not having received much injury, and the carriage was
left in the water all night. Had the carriage turned
over on entering the water, Mr. Bass must have lost
his life; but, as it was he escaped with a slight cold.
