ADELPHI THEATRE.

An important addition has been made to the
Adelphi company by the engagement of Miss Marie
Wilton, who last night made her appearance in the
part of G.,rtrude in the admirable petite drama
entitled "The Little Treasure," which has not been
performed since its production some years ago at
the Haymarket, and in which the late Miss Blanche
Fane sustained the character. Miss W ilton's em-
bodiment of the young and loving girl just merging
into womanhood was nature itself. There was a
grave and exqu'site feeling throughout the whole
perform..nL, , which fairly enchanted the auaieuce,
and none could witness the efforts of the affectionate
danohter to bring about a reconciliation between

TEE SCOTCH HERRING TRADE.

The trade has during the past year been marked by
greater fluctuation in price than in the previous dozen years.
At one time a perfect panio prevailed, and prices drooped
excessively. They again advanced on the restoration of con-
fidence, and buyers are now offering 24 s.for full crown brands.
The stock of herrings in the North of Scotland at the Ist Jan.
is considerable. There are in Peterhead about 1,000 bar-
rels ; Fraserburgh, 3,00 C barrels ; in Gardenstown, about
1,000 barrels; in Buckie, Portessie, and Findochty, about
1,500 barrels; on the Morayshire coast, 2,200 barrels; on
the Caithness doast, 9,368 barrels—in all, about 18,063 W-
I els. These are mostly C.B.F. It is estimated that there are
in Stettin about 17,000 Scotch barrels herring's. Thus there
are of catch 1862 not less than 35,000 barrels yet to enter
into consumption, and of which there are likely to be a
considerable portion remaining by the time the fishing of
circumstance begins. This eireustanee will of course affect
prices. The value of last year's Scotch fishing will also
be affected by the produce of the Norwegian winter
fishing new proceeding, and of which already a catch of
24,000 barrels is reported. The Dutch herring fishing is
reported as being 15,000 barrels in excess of average years.
Advices from Stettin of the 27th ult., say :—" One of our
commisssion houses has had orders to sell out a parcel of
few crown brands lying here before the end of the year,
which was done at one-fourth dollar under last quotations.
Four cargoes of Scotch herrings, and five cargoes of Nor-
wegian fat herrings, quality as good as finest Scotch, are
lying at Swinemunde, being prevented by the ice from get-
ting up. There is little doubt that prices will recede on the
reopening of the navigation, when supplied again com-
mence to drop in."—Banffshire Journal.

DRUNKEN RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—WiIIiam Richards
and Sarah King, two middle-aged persons, were charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vic-
toria Railway Statior, Pimlico.
James Parish, a police-constable, employed at the station,
said that defendants were there on Saturday evening; one
intending to go by the Crystal Palace line to Balham, and
the other to Streatham. As they were so drunk as to be
unfit to go with safety, they were requested to leave the
station, where they were creating some confusion, and as
they refused witness was compelled to remove them. When
opposite the hotel they created a great disturbance, and a
number of persons assembled. As it was found impossible
to get them away, they were taken to the station and locked
up.
Female defendant—The only disturbance I made was I
screamed when the policeman laid hold of me and hurt me.
Mr. Selfe—You were drunk, ma'am, they say.
Female defendant—l was not drunk. I had only taken
two or three glasses of rum and water, and I am sure that
that could not hurt me.
Mr. Selfe—l cannot estimate the quality of rum and
water you may take without getcing drunk, but I should
think that under ordinary circumstances two or three glasses
of rum and water would go well towards it.
Female defendant—This man told me that I had better
go by the 9.10 train, and I certainly told him it was like his
impudence, and I should go when I liked. I met the man,
and he carried my parcel as he was going to Balhatn, and
I was going to Streatham.
Male defendant—l am under a physician, and a very
little liquor takes effect on me.
Female defendant—l am very much bruised and marked
by the way he used me. Shall I show your worship my
arms and
Mr. Selfe—O dear me—no, I thank yon. Have they
been locked up since then?
Police-constable—The male defendant the whole time,
the female till mid•day yesterday.
Mr. Selfe discharged them:

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Owing to the recent gales there was a falling off in the
supply ot foreign stock exhibited for sale hero to. day, and
the trade ruled firm, at, in most instances, full quotations.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts,
fresh up, were moderate as to numbers, and there was a
decided improvement in the general quality of the stock.
Compared with Monday last, there was rather less activity
in the demand for most breeds. and that day's quotations
were not, in all instances, supported. The top figure for
beef was 5s 2d ; but several very prime Scots and crosses
changed hands at 5e per Sibs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 shorthorns, &c.—from
Norfolk, 100 Scots and crosses—from Scotland, 220 Scots
—from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers—and from other parts
of the kingdom, 700 of various breeds.
The supply of sheep on sale was small, but the general
quality ot the stock was tolerably prime. For all breeds
the trade was very firm, and a clearance was readily
effected. The prices realised were 2d per slbs. in advance
of Monday last. Prime heavy Downs sold at 5s 10lb—
prime small do 6s—and, in some instances, at 6s 21b
per 81bs.
The supply of calves on sale was small, and the trade
ruled firm at Thursday's advance in the quotations, the top
quotation being 5s per 81bs.
Pigs were iu moderate supply, and steady request, at full
currencies.

THE BOMBAY MAIL•

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files of papers from Bombay to Nov. 14.
We take the following summary of news from the
fowl bay Gazette of Nov. 14 :
‘` His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-
Gen eral Lord Elgin, has had a dangerous attack of
Mill ass, caused it is said by the fatiguing character
of the route he has taken in his journey towards the
Nor th-West Frontier. A telegram from Lahore,
dated the 10th inst., reports the state of his lord-
ship's health to be alarming, and holds out but
slight hope of his recovery.
,‘ His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
Hugh Rose, was at Hotta on the 26th, when he
visited the tea plantations there, en route for Lan.
gra, and was expected to reach Lahore a few days
ago.

" His Excellency Sir Bartle Frere, Governor of
Bombay, is at present staying at Matheran.
" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
W. Mansfifild is at Poorundhnr.
" Mr• David Sassoon, the well-known Jew mer-
chant in Bombay, has offered to Government the
sum of 60,0Q0r. (X 6,000), on condition of Govern-
ment giving an equal sum and a site on the Espla-
nade for the erection of a suitable building for the
MerAianics' Institution and for public meetings.

'" The Bishop of Calcutta, as Metropolitan in
in India, will hold his primary visitation in the
Ciithedral Church at Bombay on Tuesday, the Bth
of December next.

" The Chief Commissioner of Oudh, accompanied
by his secretary, has left for Roy Bareilly,
for the purpose of holding a conference with
the principal settlement officers of the Oudh
Commission. Thence, we believe it is the intention
of the Chief Commissioner to make a tour through
the northern division of the province.
" Sir Robert Montgomery, Lieutenant-Governor
of the Punjab, returned to the capital of the pro-
vince on the VA ult. _ _

" A commiF,sion for the investigation cf• claims
preferred against the late Government of Oudh will
sit in Calcutta as soon as possible after Dec. 1.
"It is reported that Oticlh will be annexed to the
North-Weatern Provinces, in place of Bangor Ter-
ritories separated last year.

The expedition against the Sittanee fanatics,
under General Chamberlain, forced the pass; and
on the 27th ult, the picket commanded by Colonel
Vaughan was attacked by the Benair people ; in the
action the hill men suffered eery severely, their
killed being estimated at 170 and many wounded.
Our loss was 22 killed and 56 wounded ; two officers,
lieutenants Richmond and Clifford, were killed,
and two others Wounded. Ma subsequent encoun-
ter Colonel Harding and two officers were killed.
The health of thetown o f Bombay has shown a
decided improvement during the fortnight.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

A fair inquiry at Saturday's rates. Sales, pro-
bably 4,000 bales.

COTTON IN THE RIVER PLATE.

Cotton•growing is occupying attention nearly
everywhere on the River Plate, and we are pro-
mised great things in the course of a few years.
The Cotton Supply Association of Manchester had
sent out 20 bags of cotton seed for distribution, and
several cotton-growing companies had been esta-
blished in Corrientes, under the auspices of the
governor of that province. The Estancieros iu
other parts of the Argentine Republic have also
sown cotton seed with the most hopeful prospects,
and in Paraguay the same spirit is beginning to
animate the native population. The Buenos Ayres
Standard, which may justly claim great credit for
the energy with which it has promoted the cultiva-
tion of cotton in the River Plate, in its European
summery refers to the subject as follows ;—" Our
foreign readers who take an interest in Argentine
prosperity will be pleased to know that over three
tons of the very best cotton seed of all descriptions
have been distributed, and are already planted in
the parts of this nation most adapted to the growth
of cotton. Our philanthropic and sterling friends
in Manchester wi►l bear with delight that millions
and millions of cotton plants are at present' over-
ground. We promise the English manufacturers
5,000 bales of cotton from the River Plate this sea-
son, and 100,000 the next. In payment for our
cotton bales we ask neither gold sovereigns nor
ounces, but railway iron, cotton goods, coal, &c.
There are some who laugh at our predictions, but
we will ' not bate one jot.' In a year or two, if we
have peace, the River Pats will be to England
what the once prosrerous United States of North
America were—the supplier of staples, the con-
sumers of manufactures. We are all here as yet
in our infancy—our future is great, and England is
regarded as the best friend of the Argentine na-
tion."—Brazil and Ricer Plate Mail.

FURLEY V. DATES.

Baron Chlnnen gave judgment in this case. The action
tried was, whether defendant had entered into an agreement
to purchase the whole, or part, of a heap of fife clay which
the plaintiff had raised to the surface from one of his mines
in Staffordshire. The plaintiff contended the whole had been
sold the defendantbeing of opinion thathe wasonly compelled
to take as much as he required at 2s. per ton. The jury
returned, by consent, for the plaintiff, with £ll2 damages,
the value of the fire-clay the defendant refused to clear
away, at the same time giving the defendant leave to move
the court to enter the verdict, to plaintiff to move. This
course was adopted, and the arrangements having been
heard, their lordships took time to consider their decision.
Their judgment was now that the verdict of the jury ought
to stand, and the rule obtained by the defendant for the re-
duction of the damages discharged.

some way or other with the fastenings the flap would
never have fallen. Their lordships were of opinion that
the judgment of Mr. James in the first case was correct,
and therefore the non-suit ought to stand. With respect to
the second case, the Court thought there ought to be a

A COURAGEOUS CLERGYMAN.

The Rev. Mr. Hughes, C.C., of Dundalk, was
aroused from his meditations by his fireside a few
evenings since by cries of " Murder," which brought
him rapidly, and, as it happened, seasonably, to the
scene of a most brutal outrage close to his dwelling.
Two ruffians, named Shevlin and Keenan, had
beaten a young man named Cunningham most
mercilessly. They had him by the legs and shoul-
ders, battering him against a stone wall, over which
they flung him, with the evident intention of fol-
lowing him, perhaps to complete their work by de-
priving him of life, when the approach of the priest
induced them to abandon their intention, and take
to their heels ; but the courageous curate was not
to be baffled by the flight of the culprits. He
gave chase, and, being an active, powerful man,
began to gain upon the flying miscreants, which, on
perceiving, brought them to a halt, resolved, irre-
spective of the good man's cloth and character, to
preserve the liberty which they knew he designed
to imperil and to evade justice ; but Father Hughes
held his own against the odds opposed to him till
the arrival of aid, when he succeeded in securing
the criminals, who are, thanks to his intrepidity, in
the hands of justice, the full benefits of which they
are sure to experience. "We hope," says the
Dundalk correspondent of the Irish Times, " Mr.
Hughes will receive the just reward of his gallant
and philanthropic capture, and from his diocesan a
rich parish, where no doubt his talent, piety, and
gentlemanlike demeanour would make him a general
favourite. Few readers of Mr. Hughes's gallant
achievement will take exception to this generous
hope.

nearly
per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Owing to the recent gales there was a falling off in the
supply of foreign stock exhibited for sale here to-day, and
the trade ruled firm, at, in most instances, full quotations.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts,
fresh up, were moderate as to numbers, and there was a
decided improvement in the general quality of the stock.
Compared with Monday last, there was rather less activity
in the demand for most breeds. and that day's quotations
were not, in all instances, supported. The top figure for
beef was 5s 2d ; but several very prime Scots and crosses
changed hands at 5o per B.bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 shorthorns, &c.—from
Norfolk, 100 Scots and crosses—from Scotland, 220 Scots
—from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers—and from other parts
of the kingdom, 700 of various breeds.
The supply of sheep en sale was small, but the general
quality of the stock was tolerably prime. For all breeds
the trade was very firm, and a clearance was readily
effected. The prices realised were 2d per Miss. in advance
of Monday last. Prime heavy Downs sold at 5s 101b—
prime small do 68—and, in some instances, at 6s 21b
per 81bs.
The supply of calves on sale was small; and the trade
ruled firm at Thursday's advance in the quotations, the top
quotation being 53 per 81bs.
Pigs were in moderate supp
currencies.

LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 7, 1863.

we may rest certain of th:B—that Lord Rus-
SELL fias rot cleared away
any of the difficulties
before him, but has rather at once multiplied and
complicated them by his recent proceedings in con-
nection with the Emperor NAPOLEON'S proposition
of u Congress. Difficulties we mean in the way of
explanation--by his own reply in the House of Lords,
London, England, 1863-12-07

the usual extent of land, and that next
years' crop will be a short one. Egypt cer-
tainly will not hold her accustomed place as an ex-
porting country, next session, neither for cotton or
grain. It is said that not only the oxen and buf-
faloes are dying, but also the camels and donkeys.
This report I cannot vouch for ; if it is true, the
loss to the unfortunate Fellahs will be incalculable.
The Bedouins say, too, that they find troops of
dead gazelles in the desert.

Et is rumoured that the Bedouins in the neigh-
bourhood of Mecca are giving trouble. It is a pity
the Porte does not give up all its territory on either
side of the Red Sea to the Egyptian Government,
who would keep the peace at very slight additional
expense to itself, while Turkey spends large sums
and cannot maintain order,

A groat number of travellers have arrived here
lately on their way up the Nile; among others, the
Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Scarborough, Lady
Herbert of Lea, and Eqrl Spencer.

M, JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.

The past week was characterised by a perform.,
ance, or more properly half performance, devoted
to the works of Mendelssohn ; M. Jullien thus fol-
lowing closely in the footsteps of his father, who
invariably in his "Classical Nights" showed his
predilection for Mendelssohn; preferring him at
the outset to Mozart, Haydn, or Beethoven. The
Mendelssohn selection which was given on Friday
comprised the overture to "Ray Blas," the Italian
symphony, the violin concerto, the music to " A
Midsummer Night's Dream," the song of " The first
violet," and two part-songs, " 0 hills, 0 vales," and
"The nightingale." The symphony was the great
trial for the conductor and his band, who, never-
theless, came out of the ordeal triumphantly, the
execution being, indeed, first•rate and beyond re-
proach, unless we were inclined to be hypercritical
and take exception to the accelerated tempo of the
minuetto and trio. The performance of the over-
ture was unexceptionable. Signor Sivori played
the concerto magnificently, and was recalled with
enthusiastic applause. The whole of the
music to " A Midsummer Night's Dream" was ad-
mirably performed, the glorious scherzo creating a
profound sensation.
Mdlle. Volpini, who seems to please in all sorts of
styles—the bravura, the classical, and the simple
ballad—gave " The first violet" with so much
natural sentiment and perfect grace of manner as to
charm the audience infinitely, and to compel them
to call for a repetition of the song. The two part-
songs were well given by the London Choral Union,
more particularly the melodious and inexpressibly
beautiful " 0 hills, 0 vales." On the whole the
selection was incomparable, and the performance
almost all that might have been desired. Indeed,
it seemed like a waste of music to have anything to
follow ; but no doubt many of the frequenters were
on the look out for their quadrille, their waltz, their
" Arditti," and, above all, their " Faust" selection.

Of the second part we need only say the selectio❑
from " Faust" and the bolero " Leggero invisibile,"
sung by Mdlle. Volpini, created the usual sensation.
The theatre was very full, the private boxes and
dress circle being more than usually crowded.

TINE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files a papers from Bombay to Nov. 14.
We take the following summary of news hum the
Bombay G •azette of Nov. 14 :
" His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-
General Lord Elgin, has had a dangerous attack of
illness, caused it is said by the fatiguing character
of the route he has taken in his journey towards the
North-West Frontier. A telegram from Lahore,
dated the 10th inst., reports the state of his lord-
ship's health to be alarming, and holds out but
slight hope of his recovery.
" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
Hugh Rose, Wes at Holta on the 26th, when he
visited the tea plantations there, en route for Kan-
gra, and was expected to reach Lahore a few days
ago.

" His Excellency Sir Bartle Frere, Governor of
Bombay, is at present staying at Matheran.
" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
W. Mansfield is at Poorundhur.
" Mr. David Sa.ssoon, the well-known Jew mer-
chant in Bombay, has offered to Government the
sum of 60,000 r. (.£6,000), on condition of Govern-
ment giving an equal sum and a site on the Espla-
nade for the erection of a suitable building for the
3fechani cs,' Institution and for public meetings.
"Th e Bishop of Calcutta, as Metropolitan in
in Italia, will hold his primary visitation in the
Cathedral Church at Bombay on Tuesday, the Bth
of T )ecember next. _ -

" The Chief Commissioner of Oudh, accompanied
by his secretary, has left for Roy Bareilly,
far the purpose of holding a conference with
th.e principal settlement officers of the Oudh
G3mmision. Thence, we believe it is the intention
of the Chief Commissioner to make a tour through
the northern division of the province.
" Sir Robert Montgomery, Lieutenant-Governor
of the Punjab, returned to the capital of the pro-
vince lin the 23d ult.
" A. commission for the investigation of claims
preferred against the late Government of Oudh will
sit. in Calcutta as soon as possible after Dec. 1.
" It is reported that Oudh will be annexed to the
North-Western Provinces, in place of Saugor Ter-
ritories separated last year.

.. The expedition against the Sittanee fanatics,
under General Chamberlain, forced the pass ; and
on the 27th ult. the picket commanded by Colonel
Vaughan was attacked by the Benair people ; in the
action the hill men suffered Sery severely, their
killed being estimated at 170 and many wounded.
Our loss was 22 killed and 56 wounded ; two officers,
Lieutenants Richmond and Clifford, were killed,
and two others wounded. At a subsequent encoun-
ter Colonel Harding and two officers were killed.
" The health of the town of Bombay has shown a
decided improvement during the fortnight.
