HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Some few weeks ago London was delighted with the
first appearance of a lady named Miss Blanche Fane at
this theatre, and we predicted that in the course of a few
evenings she would become one of the most attractive
actresses that has appeared on the London stage for
years. We rejoice to say that prediction has been veri-
fied to the letter, and Miss Blanche Fane is now an
acknowledged favourite. We advise all true lovers of
genuine acting to visit the Haymarket, and witness this
young lady's embodiment of the character of Gertrude,
in Mr. Harris's excellent coniedietta The Little Trea-
sure, and having done so, we have not the slightest
doubt but that each and all will agree with us in the
opinion we have formed of Miss Fane's abilities. The
public are greatly indebted to Mr. Buckstone for " the
importation," as Brother Jonathan would term it, and
we are gla•l to see they are not unmin•lful of the fact, as
the theatre is nightly crowded by a fashionable and de-
lighted audience.

PRINCE CORTSCIIAKOFFS ORDER

0111 THE DAY.

We have already stated in our Telegraphic In-
telligence that Prince Gertschakoff had announced
to his troops by an Order of the Day, that he
would never voluntarily abandon the Crimea. The
following is the order in full :

" His Tmperial Majesty, our master, having charged
me to thank, in his name and that of Russia, the valiant
soldiers who defended the south side of Sebastopol with
so much self-denial, courage, and perseverance, is per-
suaded that the army, after having won the freedom of
field operations, will continue to defend the soil of holy
Russia against invasion by the enemy with every effort
possible. But just as it gratified the solicitude of the
father of this great family (the army) from his great fore-
sight, to order the construction of a bridge so as to spare
Russian blood as much as possible at the last moment,
so the Emperor has invested me with full powers to
continue or cease the defence of our positions in the
Crimea, according to circumstances.
" Valiant Warriors l You know your duty. We
will not willingly abandon this country, where St. Wia-
dimir received the Water of Grace, after being converted
to that Christianity which we are defending. But there
are situations sometimes that render the firmest resolves
impracticable, and the greatest sacrifices useless. The
Emperor has deigned to leave me the solo judge of the
moment when we ought to change our line of defence, if
such is the will of Gal. It is for us to prove that we
know how to justify the unlimited confidence of the
Czar, how arrived in our vicinity and the wants of the
army. Have confidence in me, as you have hitherto
had in all the hours of trial sent us by the decrees of
Providence.

"Adjutant-General Prince GORTSCHAKOFF,
Commander of the Army of the South and
the Troops in the Crimea.
"Mackenz!e Heights, October 13."

[Before the fall of Sebastopol the Prince signed
himself—Commander of the Land and Soa Forces
in tbo'Crimea.]
