That the reasons assigned by Mr. Barnett for the with-
drawal of Mr. Fecbter from the part of " Hamlet," are
wholly unintelligible to this Committee, who have hitherto
worked with cordiality and in harmony with him. The
Committee, who cannot be parties to any breach of faith
with the public, are still prepared to co-operate with Mr.
Fechter in the same spirit, and under these circumstances
they trust that Mr. Barnett 's letter may be withdrawn, and
Mr. Fechter's engagement for the performance of Hamlet
fulfilled.

tion for Coventry.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
North Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and West
Yorkshire Railway Companies—South Yorkshire Railway
—and West Norfolk Junction Railway,

The order for the second reading of the Walthamstow,
Clapton, and City Railway Bill was discharged, and the
bill was withdrawn.

THE LISBURN ELECTION COMMITTEE.
Mr. ADAIR brought up the report cf the committee,
which was to the effect that Mr. Stirling was unable from
indisposition to attend the committee on the 22d ult., and
the sitting was adjourned until to-morrow at 11 o'clock.

Dr. HARRIS was examined at the bar of the house, and
said that he attended Mr. Stirling, who was physically un-
able to leave his residence.
Mr. ADA IR then moved that Mr. Stirling should be
exempted from further attendance,

➢ir, HUNT contended that the motion was irregular, as
the committee, by the rules of the house, could not be
adjourned during the recess beyond the first day of the
reassembly. The hen. member cited the authority of Mr.
Clerk, the barrister,who had written a work on the proceed-
ings in Parliament, in support of the argument. He con-
sidered the subject should be referred to a select coot.
mittee.

Mr. ADAIR said that if the committee adjourned until
to-day they could not, according to the 75th section and
proviso of the act relating to committees, transact any busi-
ness, or even adjourn to another day.

Sir G. GREY admitted that tha matter was very im-
portant, and he submitted that the proper course would be
to have the report printed, and :brought up for
consideration to-morrow, when hon. members would under-
stand the nature of the subject they would have to decide.
This suggestion was adopted, the original motion having
been withdrawn after a few words from Mr. WALPOLE.

Miss Bateman as Leah,

Painted by J. Edge!! Collins : Engraved by George
H. Every : Published by Henry Graves and
Company.

Any one whose glance may chance to fall upon
this beautiful engraving, as it row hangs displayed,
to view, far and wide, in the shop windows of our
London printsellers—it is quite certain must reeds
halt upon the instant, no matter what his preoccupa-
tion of mind or his hurry in regard to time, even sup-
posing this casual passer-by to be hastening at the
moment, hot-foot, to some over-due appointment.
Beautiful though the picture is as an engraving,
it is still more beautiful, it is still more
entitled to admiration, as an all but living, breath-
ing, speaking likeness. The original—who does
not know her, by this time, among London play-
goers ? Miss Bateman, the American actress of
consummate genius, the Leah of the Adelphi ! She
who has won the admiration of so many thousands,
besides the enthusiastic pamphleteer, who eagerly
pressed forward from among the crowd to become her
panegyrist in print, and to tell the world that in One
of the " Little Batemana" of years gone by, there
had appeared at last a worthy successor to Miss
O'Neil and Helen Faucit. And here, in Mr. Edgell
Collins's admirable portraiture of Miss Bateman as
" Leab,"—a portraiture exquisitely transferred to
metal by the graver of Mr. George Every—the
admirers of the gifted young American, of
the tearful, half distracted Jewess (one
hardly knows which of the two she is
the more really and the more intensely) have
at length placed within their reach a memorial
of her, beautiful to look upon, and one hardly
to be surpassed in its way as a memorial. The
tearful glitter of her eyes, the choking sob of her
voice, are here in a marvellous manner, as it were,
perpetuated. We almost seem to hear her gasping
again with anguish, as we gaze upon the pic-
ture. It is a double triumph of art—first of
the painter's, afterwards of the engraver's. It is
certain of winning for itself a widely-extended
popularity—a popularity almost as widely extended
as the charming original's. For the picture, in truth,
is alike admirable as a work of art and as a like-
ness.
London, England, 1864-06-30

CASE.

A society was established in the year 1830, under the
Friendly Societies Acts, for the purpose of insuring to each
member, paying a certain monthly contribution, a fixed
weekly sum in sickness, a fixed weekly allowance after 60,
mid a certain sum at death,

By the acts in force at the time of the establishment of
the society alterations in the rules might be made, and when
certified were to be binding on the several members and
officers of the society. See 10th Geo. IV., c. 56, sec. 9.
By the present Friendly Society Act, 18th and 19th Vic.,
c. 63, sec. 27, the rules may be altered by a resolution of a
meeting specially called for that purpose.
Under the 10th eo. IV„ c. 36, sec. 9, the votes of three-
fourths of the members present at a general meeting were
required to carry any alteration ; but under the 18th and
19th Vic., c. 63, sec. 27, a simple majority of the votes ol
the members present is sufficient.

In consequence of the funds of the society being much
reduced, it is intended to frame new rules, which it is pro-
posed to have certified, either increasing the contributions
payable by the members, or reducing the benefits in sick-
ness, old age, and at death ; and these new rules are to
apply to all the present as well as the future members.
It is contended on the one hand, that as the present
members joined with a knowledge that the rules might be
altered, they have no reason to complain of the new rules ;
whilst, on the other hand, it is contended that these new
rules cannot affect the present members, as that would to
a breach of the contract made with the members when
they entered the society ; and that although the rules
may be altered, there is no provision in the act as to alter-
ing the tables ; but on this point it is presumed that as the
tables are referred to in the rules, they are incorporated
with them, and might be repealed.
The Attorney General is requested to advise whether the
altered rules will be binding upon the members admitted
into the society before such rules were certified.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

A Lilliputian Ocean Vessel.

The .New York World, of June 15, says:—
" Within a few days a craft will take its departure
from this port for a voyage across the Atlantic,
smaller than any which has ever before been deli-
berately navigated for so large a distance. It will
contain two men aad a dog and the provisions for
a voyage of about six weeks, during which time
the men will subsist upon half-a-pound of meat,
which will be preserved in cans, three-quarters of a
pound of bread, and three pints of water each
day. The object of this enterprise is more one of
novelty than otherwise. Mr. John C. Donovan,
the principal owner, is now fifty-four years of age,
and has been at sea since he was fifteen ; while his
companion, Mr William Spencer, has had large ex-
perience as a seaman. Mr Donovan conceived the
idea of building the boat according to his own
plans, and attempting to navigate her across
the ocean to astonish the Johnny Bulls, and, in the
height of the excitement attending such a singular
adventure, to sell his vessel, probably to a good
advantage. The little craft is fifteen feet four
inches in length, four feet ten inches in breadth,
and two feet nine inches in depth, Custontshouse
measurement. She is very strongly and carefully
constructed with iron rivet fastenings, and covered
over two thirds of her length. She is rigged after
the manner of an hermaphrodite brig ; her main-
mast is 19 feet long from the step to the truck, and
her foreyard about four feet six inches from the
deck. She is not too lightly sparred, and will
carry about 50 yards of canvas. By the applica-
tion of an invention of Mr. Donovan's, the sails
will all be managed—raised and lowered from the
cock-pit—by means of lines and leaders. She will
be launched with everything standing, and with the
topgallant sail permanently set. Such is the sim-
plicity of the rigging that there will be no occasion
to go forward for eny purpose connected with the
management of the vessel. The craft will draw
about two feet of water when loaded, and will
rely upon her peculiar construction for buoyancy.
The space devoted as a sleeping apartment
is about two feet wide, six feet long, and sixteen
inches in depth. She will leave this port about
Thursday of this week, previous to which Mr.
Donovan will make a trial trip around the harbour.

SOCTF,TY OF ARTS.—The annual meeting of tiaf-
metnbsrs of the Society of Arts was held yesterday after.
noon at John• street, Adelphi, fur the reception of the report
and the election of officers for the ensuing year. After some

CASE.

A society was established in the year 1830, under the
Friendly Societies Acts, for the purpose of insuring to each
member, paying a certain monthly contribution, a fixed
weekly sum in sickness, a fixed weekly allowance after 60,
aad a certain sum at death,
By the acts in force at the time of the establishment of
the society alterations in the rules might be made, and when
certified were to be binding on the several members and
officers of the society. See 10th Geo. IV., c. 56, sec. 9.
By the present Friendly Society Act, 18th and 19th Vic.,
c, 63, sec. 27, the rules may be altered by a resolution of a
meeting specially called for that purpose.
Under the 10th eo, IV„ c. 36, sec. 9, the votes of three-
fourths of the members present at a general meeting were
required to carry any alteration ; but under the 18th and
19th Vic., c. 63, sec. 27, a simple majority of the votes of
the members present is sufficient.

In consequence of the funds of the society being much
reduced, it is intended to frame new rules, which it is pro-
posed to have certified, either increasing the contributions
payable by the members, or reducing the benefits in sick-
ness, old age, and at death; and these new rules are to
apply to all the present as well as the future members.

It is contended on the one hand, that as the present
members joined with a knowledge that the rules might be
altered, they have no reason to complain of the new rules ;
whilst, on the other hand, it is contended that these new
rules cannot affect the present members, as that would be
a breach of the contract made with the members when
they entered the society ; and that although the rules
may be altered, there is no provision in the act as to alter-
ing the tables ; but on this point it is presumed that as the
tables are referred to in the rules, they are incorporated
with them, and might be repealed.
The Attorney General is requested to advise whether the
altered rules will be binding upon the members admitted
into the society before such rules were certified.

THE SOMERSET TESTIMONIAL TO CAPT. &PEKE:*
At the termination of the business at the Somerset
quarter sessions on Tuesday, the testimonial to Captain
Speke, the hero of the Nile, was presented at the Shire
Hall, Taunton, in the presence of a large number of ladies
and gentlemen. The testimonial, which cost upwards of 1,000
guineas, consists of a pair of very finely chased Egyptian
vases, in silver gilt, the form being taken from the Egyp-
tian barlak, or filter vase. The presentation was made by
Lord Cork, the newly-appointed lord lieutenant of the
county, who expressed a hope that he should worthily bear
the commission which her Majesty had graciously conferred
upon him. Capt. Speke feelingly thanked the county of

It would hardly have been possible for any friend

of the Government to have hit upon a more admir-
Ent than Mr. KINGLAKE.S. It

it is--it deserves to succeed. It is far better than

whit is vulgarly called trailing the herring, it is

at once a moat subtle, and yet, at the saaemollent,
a rest fligrant evaaion of the difficulty. Sir litcri

CAIRNS might be tempted to speak of it, as five years
ego he spoke (very memorably) of Lord RUSSELL'S
Resolutions, namely, as a dodge. But Mr. RING-

LAKE'S amendment is too clever to admit of its
being adequately defined by the application to it of
so ignoble an epithet. It is far removed above the

dead level of a dodge. It is in its way a work of
high art. It is worthy of remembrance henceforth
as a sort of model for what an amendment

RONCOM'S roLD —jaw, 88es, be it unuerstood,
were not confined to the vielle garde. Roneoni was
continually afEcted with an abassamento di voce by supe-
rior command, when his female counsellar fretted under
the mortification of not being allowed to sing. One after-
noon, not long beforo the performance, when Ronconi had
written to say that one of these abassainenti prevented his
singing, I visited him with the physician. The singer ex-
pressed his regre's in a hollow whisper. But Ronconi's
oonsummate powers as an actor were not unknown to me,
and I naturally doubted the rea;ity et this whispering per-
formance. Affecting to be its dupe, however, I proceeded
to talk upon a topic which I know would greatly interest
the supposed invalid, In a moment Ronccni warmed up,
the feigned voice was forgotten, and the wonted tones burst
forth in the animation of the discourse, Caught in the fact,
the singer aser4bed his marvellous recovery to the mere
presence of the doctor. He sang that night, and with more
than usual vigour. The abassamenti, it was found, gene-
rally occurred when Ronconi was cast to singwithFrezzolini,

Royal Gallery of Illustration.

The visit of Mrs. Roseleaf and her family to the
seaside to recruit, alter the fatigu 3 of their " Even-
ing Party," has furnished Mr John Parry with
materials for the construction of a new descriptive
story, in which bi 3 great skill, both as a musician
and a mimic, is displayed with the best effect. The
novelty is introduced by a "saline symphony," and
this enables Mr Parry to show the great command
he possesses over the pianoforte, and at the same
time allows him to introouce a variety of marine
melodies, such as " What are the wild waves
saying," " Over the sea," " 0 'tis pleasant to float,"
and the " Bay of Biscay," all of which were sung
in the most irresistibly comic manner. The humour
of the musical narrative is oivided into parts, viz ,
sea-bathing, promenading on the ciff., boatieg
and yachting on " the expansive ocean," strol-
ling on the sands, &a., &c., and thus Mr. Parry
introduces all those "characters" peculiar to
the sea-side during the height of the summer
season. For example, we have Mrs. Ducker,
the old bathing-gnitle, the terror of the juveniles ;
then the organ-grinders; next the Italian with his
"playful" monkey; then, again, Niles Gush-
ington, the sentimental spinster, given to moon,
light rambles, in the vain hope of securing
" one fond heart ;" and a variety of others, the
peculiarities cf which are tit off by Mr. Parry
with the utmost fun and drollery. Tee narrative
is a very acceptable addition to the " Pyramid' and
ihe"l3ard and his Birthday," and oae which we
can safely commend to the attention of the pleasure-
seekers of the metropolis.

A REWARD FROM THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT
TO A LIFEBOAT CREW.—The Swedish and Nor-
wegian Government has just forwarded £24 for distribution
amongst the crew of the Southport lifeboat, belonging to
the National Lifeboat Institution, for their gallant services
in rescuing, during a gale of wind, seventeen persons from
the barque, Tamworth, of Skein, Norway, which was
wrecked on the Trunk-hill Sandbank, about five miles from
Southport, on the 31st October last. The Swedish Govern-
ment has also sent a silver medal to William Rockliff, the
coat wain of the lifeboat, in acknowledgment of his brave
tnd skilful conduct on the occasion. The Lifeboat Inalitu •
tion had previously rewaried the men for their laudable
services on the occasion in question, and Rockliff is also in
possession of the silver medal of the instutition.
