miles from Oxford, enters the London and Birmingham Railway at
Tring, in Hertfordshire.

The promoters of the present undertaking would not have brought
it before the public, had they not been fully convinced of its great
superiority over the two other projected lines. They have caused a
careful investigation to be made of the several proposed lines, and
the result of that investigation shows that the
" Ireland, South Wales, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and London
Junction Railway," is the shortest and most direct line between
Gloucester, Cheltenham, and London;
It interferes with less private property ;
It requires only half the amount of capital necessary for the comple-
tion of the " Tring" line •
It joins the line which has been projected between Cheltenham and
Gloucester, thereby connecting itself with the " England and
Ireland Union Railway ;"
It affords direct access to the centre of " the High-street" of Chel-
tenham, without impairing the beauty, or affecting the value, of
any part of the town ;
It has fewer curves, and those of larger radii ;
It has better gradients, and can be worked with less power ;
The journey can be performed in less time, and with less expense
to the public ;
It will require less annual expense for maintaining and working it.

The following Tables exhibit some of the advantages which the
present undertaking (commonly known as the Steventon Line)
possesses over its competitors :

time to effect any change in the Church; but if the

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the paper
furnished by the Board of Education in Ireland be referrer
to the Select Committee.—Ordered.

The Earl of WICKLOW said that he begged to correct 01
error, which appeared in the report of his speech of Wednes
day night. He was stated in the report to have accused tir
Commissioners of Education of having filled their report witl
falsehoods. Now, there was nothing farther from his inten
tion than to have used any such observations. The expres
sions he had used were, that the report of the Commissioner
was filled with vituperative attacks on a Right Rev. Prelate
and with accusations of falsehood against him. This, it woul'
be seen, was widely different from a statement that the Repor
of the Commissioners was filled with falsehoods.—( Hear, hear.
Nothing could be further from his intention than to insult
body of gentlemen for whom he entertained an unfeigne
respect, and who were associated for the purpose of performing
a troublesome duty which they endeavoured to discharge t
the utmost of their ability, and with the best intentions i;
respect to the object for which they were appointed. As t
this one paragraph, therefore, it must at once appear unfounded
as from the reasons he expressed at the time, it must be eviden
that he never intended to accuse the Commissioners of false
hood.—( Hear. )

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Henry Johnson, a fine intelligent boy, thirteen
years of age, apparently in great distress, being without
hat, shoes or stockings, and nearly in a state of nudity,
James Brant, and William Jones, were brought before Mr.
LAING by police constable 105 G, charged with sleeping in
the open air.
The constable at three o'clock yesterday morning found
the prisoners and several other boys sleeping in some ruins
adjacent to the House of Correction. They said they
were in great distress and had no place of residence and no
friends, and they were obliged to sleep in the open air.
Brant and Jones were discharged, and on questioning
Johnson he said that his father and mother were dead and
he was destitute of friends or relations, and had no means
of procuring his living except by picking up bones in the
street.

Mr. LAING—What was your father ? Johnson—He
was the owner of a van and wild beasts, which he used to
exhibit at fairs.

Mr. LAING—How long has he been dead ? Johnson
—Nine months.
Mr. LAING—How long has your mother been dead?
Johnson—She died when I was two years of age.
Mr. LAlNG—Where were you born? Johnson—ln
the van with the beasts while travelling at Stroud.
Mr. LAlNG—Where did your father die ? Johnson—
At Wolverhampton.
Mr. LAING—What brought you to London ? Johnson

—I was brought by a waggoner who promised to employ
me, but he told me to look for a place and left me, and I
was obliged to pick up bones in the street.
The artless and intelligent manner in which he answered
the questions put to him excited much attention and sym-
pathy, and Mr. Laing ordered that Mr. West, the master
of Clerkenwell workhouse, should be sent for, and he shortly
afterwards arrived.

Mr. LAING informed him that the prisoner gave a satis-
factory account of himself. He appeared to be a friend-
less orphan, but an intelligent boy ; and conceiving it to be
a case of emergency, he suggested that be should be taken
into the workhouse.

The master agreed to take him.
Mr. LAING, addressing the prisoner, said that he now
had an asylum, where he would be protected, and his future
welfare would depend upon his own conduct.
The poor little fellow shed tears, and seemed to be grate-
ful for the notice taken of him.

ADELPHI.

A farce in one act was produced at this theatre last
night, under the savoury title of The Man with the Nose.
The whole humour of the piece turns on the awful dimen-
sions of the nasal organ of a Flemish artist, and the con-
stant allusions made to his deformity by all with whom he
comes in contact. A great part of the audience left the
theatre before the piece was over. As the curtain fell
there was some faint applause mingled with hisses, but it
was difficult so say whether the ayes or the noes bad it. It
is but fair to add that the actors had not committed the
author's words to memory ; the prompter was once or twice
obliged to speak for Mr. 0. Smith, and, under these cir-
cumstances, it is possible that the unfortunate playwright
may be very innocent of much of the nonsense spoken on
the stage.

ST. JAMES'S.

The first appearance this season of Mr. Braham, and the
revival of Dr. Arne's Artaxerxes, one of the best operas
which the English stage ever produced, attracted a fashion-
able audience to this theatre last night. Mr. Braham, as
Arbaces, was, as he always has been, perfect. The spirit
which he infused into the famous scena, " His father he
lost when he murder'd his King," was worthy of his best
days. Miss Rainforth was Mandane. She made her
debut in that character at the commencement of last season,
and was then eminently successful. Since that period she
has been constantly improving, and her performance of last
night showed the good effect of twelve months' industry
and perseverance. The Artaxerxes of Miss Julia Smith,
and the Artabanes of her sister, were highly creditable. A
new piece was also produced, under the title of King John
(with the benefit of the Act). It is, as the name implies, a
burlesque on Shakespeare's tragedy, and is, like most of its
brethren of the same school, a sorry affair. Mr. H. Hall,
who made his first appearance, was the King, and imitated
the rather peculiar faults of Macready with great accuracy.
He was much applauded. Several parodies of favourite
songs were introduced, which tended partially to enliven
the piece.

ROYAL SURREY.

The pantomimic novelty at this house is entitled Old Dame Prot, or
the Fairy and the Comical Cat. It commences in the Cavern of
Gloom. Atropos calls up Delarosa (Miss Sharpe); she is given a potion
which is to make her melancholy—the charm can be broken alone by a
smile; Mischief attends her, and is warned to avoid Goodwill (a fairy) ;
he, however (from his Paul Pry propensities), falls into her hands; she
is anxious to dissolve the charm that enthralls Delarosa, and sends for
Dame Trot (Mr. Goldsmith), and her Cat (Master Young). The ancient
lady is then seen receiving homage from Harry-Parry (Mr. Ellar). Sir
Griffith Hoppergollop (Mr. Morrelli) arrives, who accuses the old Dame
of" witchery ;" Harry-Parry protects her from the Knight; she bids
him take her cat to the castle, by whose antics he is to make the lady
smile, and having dissolved the charts, claim her as his reward.
Muddle Cuddle (Mr. Southby) admits the cat to the presence of the
tranced beauty ; Grimalkin treats her to a solo on the double bass ; she
laughs, and the charm is at an end : the frustrated Atropos appear., so
does Goodwill ; the latter change Harry-Parry and Delarosa to Harle-
quin and Columbine. Atropos transforms Muddle Cuddle and Sir Grit.
Pith into Clown and Pantaloon, and the fun begins. The best points in
the comic business arc " the Royal Stud" changing into " John Bull in
the Gazette; stud sold"—Exhibition of the Sheriff's liveries—Select
Committee to receive the Queen—" Spanish Fruit" changing into an
amputated penniless soldier," Fruits of Spain ;" a cut at Lord de Roos
and Southwark revenue cutter changing to an emblem of D. W.-Har
vey. There is a Diorama by Toinkins. The pantomime is by Mr. T.
Greenwood.

VICTORIA.

A pantomime, entitled Harlequin Bukhara, or the Veiled Prophet of
Khorassan. The story is, of course, from " Lalla Rookli." Azim (Mr.
H. Lewis) loves Zelica (Miss Lee) ; they suffer from the machinations of
Mokanna, the Veiled Prophet, and of Zambec (Mr. W. Davidge). The
pantomimic characters are Harlequin, Mr. H. Lewis; Clown, Mr. W.
Taylor; Pantaloon, Mr. Fillingham and Columbine, Mdlle. Leoni.
There is a panorama by Mr. C. James, and Sylvester, the " Air Diver,"
gives his gymnastic exercises.

O'CONNELL AND THE RADICALS

There is one passage in Mr. O'Connell's letter, a portion
of which appears in our paper this week, against which we feel
bound to enter a most decided protest. The Member for
Dublin uses these words, " the neglect and contemptuous dis-
regard of Ireland by the leading English Radicals," and on
that implied assertion forms one of his arguments for a repeal
of the Union. Now, Mr. O'Connell's assumption is utterly
untrue. The English Radicals are universally desirous of
placing Ireland upon perfect equality with the rest of the em-
pire. They would, were it possible, do more than justice ;
they would ,give measures, having especial reference to Ire-
land, a preference even to their own claims, until the Irish
had obtained securities for good government equal to their
own. But what have the present Ministers done towards
securing to the Irish permanent good government ? We may
safely say nothing. They have appointed Lord Mulgrave, who
has administered the functions of the Executive with equity
and justice. But that is all.
If a Tory Lord- Lieutenant of twenty years since were to
return to the ♦ice-regal chair, he would find his power to do
evil in no respect impeded by legislative enactments. And
this it is of which the English Radicals so justly complain :
they say, Ministers, who declare they will not concede secu-
rities for public liberty to the people of Great Britain, who
have made no pretence of doing so in favour of the people of
Ireland, are yet to be supported in office, because they simply
administer impartially the powers of government.
How low must the public morality of the Irish people have
been reduced, if they can long submit to such degrading im-
putations 2—Weekly True Sun.

THE CHRISTMAS PA:k;TOMIMES

COVENT. GARDEN.
An attempt is making to revive the glories of Grimaldi's day at this
house, and what is technically termed " the comic business" is a more
prominent featur e than it has been made since the era alluded to.
Stanfield lends his aid with a diorama, and the general scenery is good.
The title of the pantomime is Harlequin and Peeping Torn of Coventry.
The story is as old as the chronicles of Coventry :—Count Mercia levies
a severe fine on the citizens ; his Lady (Godiva) intercedes for them : he
tauntingly offers to forgive them if she will ride through the city at
noonday in a state of nudity : she consents; the people close their por-
tals, and declare death to any one who dares to appear or look forth ;
Peeping Tom disobeys the latter injunction, and is stricken blind. The
pantomime follows the story in all but the last particular, for Peeping
Tom is converted by Mother Holly, the Witch of Warwick, into Harle-
quin (Mr. C. J. Smith), Edith, daughter of Earl Mercia, becomes Co-
lumbine (Miss Fairbrother), the Earl turns into Clown (Signor Jeffe-
rini), and the. Mayor of Coventry into Pantaloon (Mr. Clark). The
opening of this pantomime burlesques the story; Lady Godiva is gro-
tesqued by Mr. Fenton, and the riding across, if persisted in, will be a
hazardous attempt. Paul Bedford plays and sings a beadle in a style
perfectly unique. There are two or three good things in the comic
scenes, especially a very complicated thrice-changing inn (The Wonder),
Quiet Lodgings, a certain Marquis, and " The Morning Star," and the
Death's-he:A Candles ; Stanflen's Diorama, abounding in views such as
he and he alone can paint, will alone prove a source of great attraction.
The pantomime is by Mr. H. Younge.
London, England, 1837-12-25

CITY OF LONDON.

Harlequin Will o' the Wisp is the novelty here. The plot somewhat
resembles that of the Drury-lane pantomime. Miss Pincott plays Will
o' the Wisp, and the lover, Lovell (subsequently Harlequin) is person-
ated by Mr. Duellin. Sir Barnaby becomes Pantaloon (Mr. Duellin,
jun.), and Lanky Looby, Clown (Mr. Bolino), Margaretta, afterwards
Columbine (Miss Gilbert). Ihe scenery is most magnificent. The pan-
tomime is under the direction of Mr. Sterling.
