THE CREW OF THE ALABAMA AT WESTON'S
MUSIC HALL—, On Monday 11 of toe remaining:
crew of the gallant but ill-fated Confederate cruiser'
Alabama, visited this popular place of amusement, and Wen)
introduced to a crowded audience by Mr. Weston, amidst
repeated and most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Bernard, c
behalf of the gallant and weather-beaten defenders of Ilea
unfortunate vessel, said they formed part of the survivoi'd
of that ship sunk by the Federal war sloop, the Kearsag a.
They only longed and hoped for an opportunity to meet
latter vessel, to wipe away the stain of defeat from their
character, not from their bravery—as the late contest be-
tween the two vessels was admitted to have been ono of
the most gallant in the records of naval warfare. It Was
Mr. Wenton's intention to give these brave sailers a bench t
at the hall shortly. The sailors left the stage in the midst
of hearty English cheers, and were twice called on h. 13
stage. One of their number briefly thanked the Engliith
public for the kind sympathy and support which had Leo n.
shown them since they were saved from a watery grave hy
the Deerhound.
FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE CRUISEES.—TI le
Precurseur of Antwerp of Saturday last says :
"Yesterday afternoon a telegraphic despatch via IFrar,ce
was received hero by Captain Craven, commanding the Fe-
deral frigate Niagara. The Niagara was engaged in coal-
ing, but that operation was suspended, and it was resolved
that the frigate should leave the port to-day. From an
early hour great activity prevailed on board, and at ono
o'clock the Niagara got up steam and left. If our infornia-
tion be correct she is bound for Cherbourg, in the neigh-
bourhood of which port the Confederate cruiser Florida s .nd
another Southern vessel have been observed waiting the
coming out of the Kearsage. Captain Craven expects to
return to this port in about ten days."

pile for the concentration of the courts of justice and law
offices specially excepts Temple bar. It is not to be taken
or used with the consent of the Common Council of the

Lord TENTEEDEN had an inveterate habit of
snubbing witnesses : One day he was presiding at a
circuit dinner, and asked a country rapgistrate if he would
take venison. " Thank you,
say Lord ; I am going to take
boiled chicken.' That, Sir, is no answer to my question.
I ask you again if you will take venison, and I will trouble
you to say Yes or No without further prevarication."
