THEATRE DES VARIETES, LINWOOD GALLERY.—
A new style of entertainment took place here on Monday
night, and met with the most complete success. The pro-
gramme consisted of a concert, a duologue supported by Mr.
Lea and .Miss Mathews, The New Feature, and concluded
with .a laughable entertainment, in which Mr. Lee repre-
sents seven different characters, called Miss Slammee r t

with, as the bill informed us, " entirely new scenery, ritish
cos-
tumes, and appointments, and 'supported by sixteen British
subjects." Prior to the commencement of the

APPEALS TO THE II OUSE OF LORDS.—The Lord
Chancellor was unable, from indisposition, to preside in the
House of Lords yesterday, but, in justice to his Lordship, it
should be stated that it was with the greatest reluctance he
relinquished his intention of sitting, and that, by his express
direction, every precaution was taken to prevent any incon-
venience to the various individuals concerned in the hearing
of the causes appointed for that day, and due information
