the badges of knighthood, and other costly baubles of
nobility, lie in unaccustomed profusion at the com-
mand of the Earl of DERBY in his capnity as the
First Minister of the Crown—insomuch, indeed, that
st the present moment there are no less than two
Garters at the disposal of the PREMIER. Everything
considered, the responsibilities devolving upon the
Noble Earl in this remarkable emergency must be
viewed as immeasurably more than counterbalanced
by the opportunities which those very responsibilities
in reference to the distribution of honours, dignities,
emoluments, and prerogatives necessitate of extending
the influence of his Cabinet and of consolidating the
energies of his Administration.

THEATRE ROYAL, PLYMOUTH.
Mr. T. C. King has been performing at Plymouth
with great success. Last week he appeared in the
principal roles in Richard the Third and Virginius.
The other characters were very well supported. In
a melodramatic spectacle, Wallace the Hero of Scot
land, and in Katherine and Petruchio, Mr. King,
Miss Page, and Mit., Fanny Huddart sustained the
chief parts. Prenez Garde, a ballet pantomime by
Mr. Le Clercq, was very prettily got up, and afforded
an opportunity for the talented Le Clercq family to
exhibit some of their best dancing. The exceeding
brilliancy and finish of Miss Louise Le Clercq's per-
formance excited great admiration. If this accom-
plished young lady were to appear at one of the prin-
cipal metropolitan theatres she would at once assume
a first-rate position in Collet, and become one of the
most popular danseuses on the English stage.

MRS. PARKE' S CABINETS AND
PAINTINGS.
We were favoured, on Saturday, with a private
view of this tasteful and valuable collection, which
Mrs. Parkes announces for distribution among her
subscribers on the 18th of November next. Some of
the allotments (to one of which each guinea subscriber
is entitled) are very valuable, among which the first
rank is to be given to Johnston's noble painting of
" The Introduction of Flora Macdonald to Prince
Charles Edward, after the Battle of Culloden." The
value of this much-admired picture is five hundred
guineas, and several beautiful engravings of it are
among the allotments. There are also M'lnnes's
" Visiting the Bothie," furnishing excellent portraits
of the Royal Family; and "Highland Courtship," by
the first-named artist. Among the many engravings,
the most exquisite is, in our opinion, that of "Jesse
Bourn and Colin Grey," the subject taken from
Crabbe's thirteenth tale, by Mrs. Southgate, of which
one thousand impressions will be placed in the scheme
of 7,000 allotments. There are also cabinets richly
carved and decorated, and furnished with a hand-
somely-bound collection of volumes ; and engravings and
prints without end. The scheme well deserves pa-
tronage, and we feel confident that Mrs. Parkes will
not fail to obtain it. 'We recommend our readers to
judge for themselves by a visit to her establishment
in Golden-square.
