PUBLICATIONS,

reducing our doses of soldiers by a process of tri-
turation until they become impalpable. We are
not animated by any spirit of national vanity or
jealousy. We fully appreciate the importance
of an undivided command in military operations,
and would offer no objection to the recognition
of - a French Generalissimo, or Commander-in-
Chief of the Allied forces in the East. There
would be no more shame in an English army stand-
ing in this relation to a French chief, than there
was in a Dutch army being placed under Marl
borough, or a Spanish army under Wellington. All
ether qualifications among the competitors for the
chief command being equal, there appears to be a
natural propriety in selecting, the generalissimo
from that nation which has most -men in the field.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS
EVENING, and every evening during the
week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC
•and ,MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great
Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety
of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary
effects.
Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos-
sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of
amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them-
selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of
them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition,
for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the
eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any
one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com-

But, if the combined armies of England, France,
Sardinia, and Turkey are to be placed under one
supreme chief, let this be done openly and avow-
edly, not by distributing and frittering away our
regiments until they run a risk of disappearing en-
tirely. England. has,, or will soon have, in the
field a numerous corps d'crmee, raised and main-
tained at no trifling cost. In addition to our Eng-
lish regiments we have a Foreign' Legion and a
Turkish Contingent, receiving English pay, march-
ing under the English banner, commainded in a
great measure by English officers, subjected to
.English discipline and English laws of war. This
force, which from these circumstances derives a
certain unity of character, will be much more avail-
able if kept together en masse, than if mixed up in
driblets with an army of a widely different organi-
sation. Though our English army, with its multi-
farious ingredients, may be destined to be placed
under the supreme eommand of a French general,
be will derive ,more effective service from it by
allowing it to act en masse. If such an arrange-
ment is in contemplation let it be avowed, and let
Ministers appeal to the common sense of the Eng-
lish people for their approbation, instead of seeking
to effect their purposes by indirect means, which
may impair the spirit and diminish the utility of
our army. But there is reason to fear that the
hesitation and delay in nominating a successor to
General Simpson has its origin from a less respect-
able cause. When that officer was appointed to
succeed Lord Raglan, it was currently reported
that protestions of a determination not to serve
under him had been heard from various quarters ;
and the return of at least one general officer to this
country is still attributed by many to soreness on
account of his having been passed over. The
reluctance of Ministers to declare upon whom they
intend to confer the supreme command of our army
in the East appears to have its source in a weak and
unworthy reluctance to run the risk of giving simi-
lar umbrage in any quarter on the present occasion.
The army appears to be in imminent danger of
being frittered away because Ministers haye not the
moral courage to place the right man at its head,
regardless of what exasperation and murmurs may
be provoked among those who think mere seniority
a title before which all others must give way ; or
because they have not the discrimination to choose
among the various candidates. To allow such con-
siderations to hamper them or give them pause,
betrays, on the part of our rulers, a lukewarmness
as to the issue of the great struggle in which we are
engaged. Promptitude and energy are required at
their hands in a crisis like the present ; and to
leavy our army for one moment without a recog-
nised head—to allow it to be broken up into a
number of independent corps, and scattered over
the face of the earth—is totally irreconcilable with
the possession of such. qualities. IA is to incur the
risk of allowing the war to die out, instead of urging
it on until some definite and tangible good has been
attained.

pally ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex-
pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of
. the public every night to appear as auxiliaries 7 and an ex-
travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond

the bounds of probability. -
Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and
fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum
eatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he
has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con-
tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art,
has at any tints or in any place been honoured with an
amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual.
Ho would attribute that success to three causes; first, that
n his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors
he results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of
perfected in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he
has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has
spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on
the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment
of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly,
that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those
who hallow him with their presence, he has not forgotten that
it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor-
tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where-
ever A has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by
resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner,
the .designing have succeeded in making dupes of the
credulous. _ _

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday morning, at L•alf-past 1i o'clock, Sir C.-
Wood, Sir Baldwin Walker, and Rear-Admiral Eden ar-
rived at the dockyard, Woolwich, and were officially re-
ceived there by Commodore-Superintendena. Shepherd,
Colonel Ashmore, Commandant of Royal Marines,
and his Adjutant. They went through a general inspeo-
tion of the various departments, commencing with& visit
to the storehouses, the smithies, and sawmills ; thence
to the Commodore's mansion, in front of which the
whole body of men and boys employed there passed
through the entrance gate for dinner, and were minutely
examined. Thence their lordships proceeded to the
guard-room, where they were received by Mr. Superin-
tendent Mallalieu and the corps of the police force off
duty, under arms. No. 4 building slip was then visited,
and in succession the engine and rigging-houses. Their
lordships were afterwards conducted on board the three
gun-boats, Seagull, Sandfiy, and Plover. Thence they
directed their course towards the west-end coal stores,
and the old smithies ; then on board the Princess Aliso,
lying in the dry dock for repairs, on the spare engine
gear-house, on board the Pearl, then through the facto-
ries and. boiler shops, where they remained some time
inspecting the riveting machinery, and afterwards through
the erecting shop-, and examined the brass foundries.
From the dockyard they repaired to the Marine Bar-
racks, and inspected the Woolwich division of Light
Infantry stationed there, commanded by Col. Ashmore.
The battalion, consisting of about 200 rank and file,
were formed into four companies, and were paraded in
review order, under the command of Col. Second-Com-
mandant Brown. The recruits, consisting of about 300
fine young men, assembled under their drill inspectors,
and among them were a number of volunteers from mi-
litia regiments. Their lordships were received at the
barracks with the usual honours. After minutely in-
specting the battalions and the recruits in line the batta-

lion was formed into companies, and marched past in
slow and quick time. The Admiralty Lords then pro-
ceeded to the men's barrack-rooms, with the cleanliness
and good order of which they expressed themselves
highly pleased. They also visited the gnn-drill battery,
the libraries, and the hospital offices, &c.
The Alban, 4, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant-
Commander W. E. Fisher, has again left Sheerness for
the rivers Elbe and IVeser and Heligoland, on particu-
lar service.

ashamed of you._ _ ig to a strange house in
this condition." Elizabeth Jroyce replied, "Take 11
me out, then." The defendant answered, " But
are you fit to go ?" The objoct, of course, was to
make it appear that the departure of the girl from
the lodginghouse was voluntary. Isabella Ward
told the magistrate that she then procured a quaff-
tern of gin from the landlady, whereupon the
young woman who had just been confined dressed
herself, and followed her downstairs into the street
The story she concocted for the benefit of the po-
liceman was, as she contended, entirely in the in-
terest of the plaintiff. That she did not mean to
act with inhumanity, she said, appeared from the
facts of the case. She ound the policeman, assisted
the plaintiff into the cab, accompanied her to the
hospital, and called there twice afterwards to hear
how she was getting on.
Strong as these arguments may be, we confess
that we can scarcely see whythis wretched girl,
considering the awful condition in which she was
might not have been permitted to rest undisturbed
until the morning came in the bed for which her
companion had paid. It would have been surely
time enough to take her to the hospital with ne-
turning light. Thus far, however, the question is
only one which affects the humanity of Individuals;
but what are we to think of the public regulations,
when such a tragedy can occur in the streets of
London? This was not the case of a person who
dies in a brickfield, or under a dry arch, where no
human eye 'may discern her agony. Her body
was distinctly produced at the parish workhouse
and at the police-station of the district. In one
place they would not, in the other they could not,
afford her assistance, although we think in such a
case the police inspector might well have stretched
a point, and either forwarded her to the hospital,
or given her such shelter as the station-house might
afford. No doubt, the persons officially obnoxious
to blame are the porters and midwife of St. Giles's
Workhouse, and we trust they may be made to
smart for their brutality. Nor can we agree with
Mr. Jardine's remark, that "if her own account
of the affair be true, Isabella Ward's conduct ap-
pears to have been reasonab,y humane and proper."
We are dull enough not to perceive the humanity
and propriety of turning a young woman In such a
condition out of doors at midnight.
