Thralare ROYAL.—On Monday evening last our
worthy manager threw open his portals, upon CI! oc-
casion of the re-opening of our national theatre ; and
judging from the overflowing
attendaace which haws,
pit, and galleries presented, we may not be deemed
false prophets when we predict a season of unprece-
dented success, as the reward of his enterprise
and ability. The performances selected being
and tastefully arranged,
pbroothvedj judiciously variedysl
the loud and
reiterated rounds of applause sufficiently testified that
energy, zeal, and ability are not thrown away upon
attractive, and
an Irish audience. The entertainments of the evening
opened with a play which has never yet been pro-
duced intour theatre, called The Corsican Brothers,
very fairly dramatised from a translation of ore of
Alexander Dumas' novels, bearing the same name ;
and the popularity pit has already attained in the
London theatres has caused it to have had a run, not
only of unusual duration, but to be again selected by
the very first actor of the P'resint day, Mr. Charles
Keay:- upon the re-opeilieg of the Princess's Theatre.
Mr. king personated the characters of the twits in
their different phases with both point-and correctness ;
Mr. Webster playing the part of Renaud, the
unscrupulous roue, with exactness and pro-
priety ; and the scenery, which was designed
and pointed by that eminent artist, Mr. Charles
Parker, most splendidly contributed to the I tage
effect. In fine, all the accessories could not
be exceeded for artistic gorgeousness ; and, therefore,
although its first production, it achieved a complete
triumph. An extraveganza, styled, The Pri-nce of
Happy Linfl, from the clever pen of Plaetebe,
was then produced, and, from the many hurno, ems
travesties of well-known airs, proved highly atteael-
tive. The scenery, decorations, and dresses are en-e
tirely new, and tend in no small degree to render the
piece effective. The entertainments concluded with
the old farce Kill or Cure, in which the performers
acquitted themselves most creditably.
QUEEN'S ROYAL THEATRE.—This handsome and
oasrtseircatl Brothers,onday, w with the well-regulated place of amusement was re-opened on
uponnew t drama,h e
sameevening
entitled Theicas
Easter
produced at our national theatre, Hawkins-street.
From the crowded appearance the house preseneed,
we feel great pleasure in being able to state that our
favourable predictions with regard to its success
oein in a lair way to be. verified, and that Mr.
Josephs will have no reason to repent the vary
large expenditure, both of time and money,
which he has gone to in securing :he
services of so efficient a corps dranzaticue, under
the management of Mr. Barrett, a gentleman for
many years an old favourite with the Dublin audi-
ence—the scenery, &e., which has been depicted by
the master-hand of the celebrated painter, Mr. Yates,
tending in no small degree to render the toute ensemble
both brilliant and effective. Throughout the entire
piece the respective parts were most ably sustained, and
at its termination Mr. Sydney Davis and Mr. Vanden-
hoff were loudly called for, and greeted with loud ap-
plause. In the farce of Family Jars which followed, Mrs.
Vandenhoff was heartily welcomed, and the talent and
correctness of her acting have in nowise diminished
since we recollect her on the boards at llawkias-
the name of Mr. Taylor, whose singing in an aria from
street, some six years hence. We must also mention
Balfe's Sicilian Bride was so much admired as to
cause him to be loudly encored. The enter-
tainments concluded with an extravaganza, called
The Alhambra ; or the Three Beautiful Prin-
cesses, in which a brilliant display of r:ew
scenery, dresses, and decorations was brought
into requisition. Several of the new company are
giving every promise of becoming favourites, amor get
whom we cannot refrain from mentioning with credit
the name of Miss 11. Gordon, an actress possessing
great talent and first-rate stage ability, combined with
a voice of sweetness and considerable power ; and
there is but little doubt that the efforts of the enter-
prising lessee, in thus catering for public amusement
will meet that remuneration which they so justly merit.

THE VALUE or ENERGY.—He who, by a❑ intel-
lectual and moral energy awakens kindred energy in others,
touches springs of infinite power, gives impulse to faculties
to which no bound can be prescribed, begins an action
which will never end. One great and kindling thought
from a retired and obscure person may live when thrones
are fallen, and the memory of those who filled them obli-
terated ; and, like an undying fire, may illuminate and quicken
all future generaticns.

CENSUS OF IRELAND.—The first part of the report
of the Commissioners for taking the census in Ireland has
been printed by order of the House of Commons. It contains
returns of the area, population,_and number of houses, by
town-lands and electoral divisions, in the county of Carlow.
Similar tables for each county in Ireland will be from time to
time published. The Commissioners state that the anxiety
of the public for detailed statistical information respecting
the late census, and the wishes of Parliament upon the sub-
ject, have determined them to prepare this section of the
work, in preference to more minute and digested tables, re-
lating to education, occupations, deaths, &c., which will ac-
company the general report, in forms similar to those pub-
lished after the census of 1841. The area of the county of
Carlow, taken by electoral divisions and poor-law unions, is
shown to amount to 147,842 acres. In IS4I the population
was 60,553; in 1851 it was 50,121, namely-24,160 males
and 26,024 females. The total number of houses in the
same year was 8,621, of which 513 were uninhabited and 13
building. The poor-law valuation in Ixsl was 125,721/.
The returns consequently show a decrease of population in
the county of Carlow of 10.434 persons as compared with the
census of 1841, or one-sixth of the entire population. 'rho
decrease in the number of houses is 1,714.

THE CONVICTED POISONERS, HOLLINSON AND
harmer.—The reprieve of the aged poisoner William Rol-
linson, who was condemned to death at the lets assizes at
Bury St. Edmunds, for administering arsenic in food intended
for his daughter, and which resulted in the death of a woman
named Cowell, was mainly attributable to the representation
of the gaol surgeon, as to the extreme age, bodily infirmity,
and declining health of the prisoner, coupled doubtless with a
desire on the part of the authorities to avoid the sad spectacle
of the hanging of a men upwards of eighty years old. It has
been observed, however, that while his age increases, the
infirmities of ItoHinson have wonderfully diminished since
his respite was communicated to him, and that he is in
fact in as good health as a man of his great age almost pos-
sibly can be. From the facts which have come to light since
his imprisonment, and the strong belief entertained that he
has committed other crimes of the same hideous pasdescrition
as that for which he was found guilty,
monster of iniquity who richly merited the halter w ,
reference to Baldr3. the

deceased had occupied apartments at No. 25, Dempsey-street,
near the Thames Police-court, and on Monday afternoon last,
when he returned home, he found a female sitting at tea with
his landlady. Deceased left the house shortly afterwards,
was quickly followed by the visitor, who must have subse-
quently joined the deceased's company, as they both pro-
ceeded to a brothel kept by a woman named Parkes, at No.
10, Oxford-street, Stepney, but had scarcely been shown into
a room more than three minutes when the servant heard a
heavy fall. On hastening to the apartment the servant found
the door open, and the deceased lying on the floor face down-
wards ; the female was leaning over him, and said she
thought the gentleman had feinted. The deceased was
turned over, and various means used to restore him, but ha
remained in a state of unconsciousness and apparently dead.
A cab was shortly afterwards procured, in which too de.
ceased was placed and conveyed home, but must have bees
dead before he was put into the vehicle. The deceased was
quite sober, and when he paid the shilling to the keeper of
the brothel was cheerful, and exclaimed, " Here you aro, all
serene." There was no quarrelling nor scuffle after they en-
tered. The deceased was a widower, and very respectably
connected. Mr. S. G. Hayes, surgeon, of Jubilee-place
Stepney, said he had made a post mortent examination of the
body, and found that about a pound and a half of blood had
escaped into the pericardium, caused by the rupture shots
aneurism of the heart of long standing. Any bodily %%et.. .
or sudden excitement would cause death. He must ha -a died:
instantaneously. The death was certainly from _

causes. The jury returned a unanimous verdict f 3
