STRAND THEATRE.

The success of the "Duke's Motto" at the
Lyceum has induced Mr. Byron to try his hand at
a burlesque, and last evening it was produced at this
favourite little theatre under the title of " The
Motto; I'm all there." Although the French
drama does not present great opportunities for such
a conversion, yer, it must be confessed, the witty
author has made the most of his materials, and his
lust burlesque is i❑ no way inferior to his forme'
productions. The principal points in the Lyceum
drama are all parodied in the most whimsical man
ner. Albeit, the "baby" was somewhat unruly, as
instead of going quietly up in a clothes-basket at
the termination of the first act, " missie" refused
the aerial trip and pitched herself hec.dfortmool
out of the wickerwork amidst the hearty laughter
of the audience. Capt. Lsgardere, in the present
instance, was sustained by Mr. George Honey, and
although a very good performance, it would have
been greatly improved had he thrown a little more
mellowness into it. Miss Ada Swanborough's
Blanche d'Nevers was a perfect success, her bur-
lesque of the mesmeric situation is the last scene
was capital, and elicited the loudest applause. Miss
M. Simpson played the Duke Goozagues with great
spirit and effect, whilst Miss Josephs made a most
bewitching Zillah. The scenery is really beautiful—
a better specimen of painting than the last scene
has rarely been witnessed. In it distance is so ar-
tistically managed that the little stage of the Strand
appears twice its actual size. The dresses, as is
usual, are splendid, and in the best taste; and, taken
as a whole, " The Motto" is perhaps one of the best
bnrlesques that has yet been done at the Strand.
At the fall of the curtain the applause was unani-
mous. All the leading performers were called for,
and the piece was announced for repetition every
evening by Mr. Swanborough, amidst the loudest
expressions of delight.

DEATH OF MR. CALCUTT, M.P. FOR CLARE.—We
have to announce the death of Mr. Calcutt, which
took place yesterday morning, at his residence, Upper Sey-
mour-street West, after a painful and protracted illness of
more than a year's duratiun. He represented his native
county of Clare in Parliament, with only an interval of a
few months, since 1857. In 189, Colonel White, M.P.
for Kidderminster, was elected in opposition to Mr. Calcutt,
but soon after unseated on the ground of bribery. Mr.
Calcutt was a consistent Liberal, and never missed an op-
portunity of giving support to all measures calculated to
advance the Liberal interest. He was a favourite in the
house, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was
in the 4lth year of his age, and only a few months ago was
received into the Catholic church by the Bishop of South-
wark.

THE FRENCH FIASCO AT MADAGASCAR-

summarised by the Saturday Review —M. Lac:•
bert, an enterprising Frenchman, had undertaken to do for
Madagascar s,chat M, Leskeps had nearly done for Egypt
Re had obtained conces6ions which would have enablea
aim, under pretence ele4tablishit.g various beneficial public
works, to gain a foothold for French influence. This of
ir,elt was di-gosling enough to the councillirs of ola
Queen Ranavarole, who had wag-d uncompromising war
with foreign ideas. But, to wake the insult as galling es pos-
sible, this adventurous Frenchman was decorated with the
title of Duke of Emerina. The feelings of that outraged
province may be conceived by imagining the condition of
mind into which the metropolitan boroughs would have
been thrown if Mr. Train had been taken into the spe-
cial favour of the Queen, and had been created Duke of
Lambeth !
