THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND

AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
The following telegram has been received at Mr.
Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company :
MARSEILLES, June 10th.
The Valetta, with the above mails, arrived here
at 4 a.m. this day.
The mails leave for London at 11 a.m.

THE WEST AFRICAN MAIL.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 9.

The steamer Armenian arrived here this even-
ing with the above mail, one box of diamonds, 307
ounces of golddust, 800 sovereigns, and 2,500 dole.
in specie, and 29 passengers.
Her dates are—Benin, April 23 ; Fernando Po,
28th; Cameroons, 30th; Old Calabar, May 2; Brass
River, 4th ; New Calabar, 7th ; Bonny, 7th ; Lagos,
11th ; Accra, 12th ; Cape Coast Castle, 14th ; Sierra
Leone, 21st ; Bathurst, 25th; ieneriffe, June 1 ;
Madeira, 2d.
Fernando Po was healthy, and trade had much
improved. No reduction had taken place in the
prices c f oil. Trade was stopped at Accra owing to
the expected attack upo❑ Cape Coast Castle by the
Ashantees. Five soldiers from her Mjesty's ships
Dart and Dove were drowned at Accra on May 13
while attempting to land in canoes.
Private despatches state that the coast generally
was fearfully unhealthy, but this is not confirmed
by the Armenian's despatch.

A SPECIMEN OF MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY.—
A Protestant clergyman, one Rev. William
Dampier is thus described by Miss Thackoray in her " Story
of Elizabeth :''—" He was a big, commonplace young man,
straight-minded and ter der-hearted. with immense energy
and great go ,d spirits. He believed in himself; indeed, he
tried so heartily and conscientiously to do what was right,
that he could not help knowing, more or less, that he was a
good fellow. And then he had a happy knack of seeing
one side of a question, and having once determined that so
and so was the thing to be done, he could do so and so
without one doubt or compunction. He belonged to the
school of athletic Christianity. I heard some one once say
that there are some of that sort who would almost
make out cockfighting to be a religious ceremony. William
Dampier did not go so far as this, but he heartily believed
that nothing was wrong which was done with a Christian
and manly spirit. He rode across country, he smoked
pipes, he went out shooting, he played billiards and cricket,
he rowed up and down the river in his boat, and he was
charming with all the grumbling old men and women in
his parish ; he preached capital sermons, short, brisk, well-
considered. He enjoyed life and all its good things with a
grateful temper, and made most people happy about him."
A MARK FOR GENERAL CONTEMPT.—Bismark !

A VERITABLE JIM CROW!—" Oh, my dear
E---! I have seen Jim Crow—the veritable James;
all the contortions, and springs, and flings, and kicks, and
capers you have been beguiled into accepting as indicative
of him are spurious, faint, feeble, impotent—in a word, pale
northern productions of that ineffable black conception. It
is impossible for words to describe the things these people
did with their bodies, and, above all, with their faces, the
whites of their eyes, and the whites of their teeth, and cer-
tain outlines which either naturally and by the grace of
heaven, or by the practice of some peculiar artistic dex-
terity, they bring into prominent and most ludicrous dis-
play. The languishing elegance of some, the painstaking
laboriousness of others; above all, the feats of a certain
enthusiastic banjo-player, who seemed to me to thump his
instrument with every part of his body at once, at last so
utterly overcame any attempt at decorous gravity on my
part that I was obliged to secede; and, considering what
the atmosphere was that wo inhaled during the exhibition,
it is only wonderful to me that we were not made ill by the
double effort not to laugh, and, if possible, not to breathe."
Fanny Kenzble's Journal.
QUEEN'S THEATRE, EDINBURGIL—Mr. Hermann
VtZiD, late of the Princess's and Lyceum Theatres,
and Mrs, Charles Young (now Mrs. Vezin), late of the
Hayrnarhet and Sadler's Wells Theatres, after having ful-
filled a successful engagement in Glasgow, perforreed before
a crowded and fashionable audience in Edinburgh
on Monday night. The Scotsman of yesterday says :
—The dramatic version of Miss Braddon's novel,

" Lady Audley's Secret," which hos been so popular
in London, was produced at the Queen's Theatre. It was
preceded by the well-worn farce of "Box and Cox," in which
Mr. Andrews (whose abilities as a burlesque actor were well
tested during a lengthened engagement at the Operetta-
House last season, and gained for him a large measure of
popularity) amused the audience, and worked them up into
good humour, by his clever by-play in the part of Uox, the
hatter. " Lady Audley's Secret" introduced two actors of
considerable merit to the Edinburgh public in Mr. Hermann
Vezin and Mrs. Charles Young. The story has been some-

grouped together in the play. In the first act, we have
George Talboys (Mr. E. D. Lyons) landing in England
after his toilsome career of three years at the Australian
diggings, on his way to share his wealth with the wife
whom he deserted in anger, He is suddenly plunged into
despair by reading, in the chambers of his friend Robert
Audley, the announcement of his wife's death—she having
in the interval married Robert's uncle, and sent the an-
nouncement to the papers to prevent his searching for her.
Thin comes the visit of the two friends to Audley
Court, the recognition of Lady Audley (Mrs, Young) by
Talboys, and their interview, in which she upbraids him
with his desertion of her, and angrily repudiates his charge
of unfaithfulness. Mrs. Young's acting in this scene was
full of womanly pathos, so much so as to exclude for the
time being the idea of Lady Audley's own error, and to
kindle a thorough sympathy for her, and implicit belief in

figure and expressive countenance, admirably suited to such
a part, and its pathos and its passion were alike represeuted
with remarkable skill ani fidelity. Mr. Vezin personated
the cool and unswerving Robert dudley in a careful and
jud cious manner, with atmost none of that stage mannerism
by which, in the closing scenes especially, such a charac-
ter might have been derrived of its identity in less able
hands.
