HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

A short series of performances commenced on
Saturday evening with the brilliantly successful
opera of " Faust." The house was crowded from
the parterre to the uppermost passage in the rear of
the loftiest seat in the amphitheatre, and numbers
were solt sway from sheer incapacity of the vast
space of Her Majesty's Theatre to contain the
visitors. This is a very gratifying fact, as it shows
most unmistakeably that, notwithstanding the dull
period of the year, good music and good singing,
although in a foreign language, will invariably
attract " the million." The cast of the opera in-
cluded, as before, Mdlle, Titiens and Trebelli as
Margarita and Siebel, Mdme. Taccani as Martha,
Santley as Valentine, Signor Bassi (in place of Gas.
sier) as Mephistopheles, and, to the regret of the
immense audience, Signor Volpini as Faust, in place
of Sims Reeves, whose non-appearance was occa-
sioned by his not having recovered from the hoarse-
ness under which he has been labouring for some
time. The opera was given in splendid style by
the above artistes—Volpini receiving tbe most en-
thusiastic applause for the manner in which he
sung the music of Faust, receiving it as he did with
only a couple of hours' notice. The grand march
and chorus of victory, " Gloria immortate," was
splendidly performed under the direction of Signor
Arditi. To-night " Faust" is to be repeated.

SURREY THEATRE,

On Saturday Shamspear's play, " The Winter's
Tale," was produced here in a manner deserving the
highest approbaticn, and at the same time reflect-
ing the greatest credit upon the joint lessees,
Messrs. Shepherd and James Anderson. It has
been said that the taste of the play-goers on the
other side of the water has been vitiated, and that.
Shakspear has been voted a bore ; but could he who
holds this opinion but have seen the tremendous gal-
lery of the Surrey, the spacious pit and boxes, filled
as they were with compact masses, and upon the
countenance of each attention plainly visible,
he would at once admit that he laboured
under a mistake. The acting of Mr. Anderson
as Leontas was of more than ordinary excellence,
and Miss Pauncefort's Hernaiene will add greatly
to her reputation. Mrs. Gordon, from America,
and Mr. Russell both made their first appearance
in the play, and from the opportuipliatnyy.weAhliasds osf

At the conclusion of the play the last new nautical
drama, "Poor Tom: or, Farewell my trim-built
Wherry," was performed, in which Mr. Shepherd
capitally sustained the brave and jolly Jack tar to
the life ; the part of his sweetheart WUS also prettily
sang and acted by Miss Jacobs.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average time of year supply of foreign
beasts on offer in our market to-day. The show of foreign
sheep was good, both as to number and quality. The
number of calves was by no means extensive.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
Wets were seasonably extensive, but their general quality
was very middling. Prime breeds commanded a steady
sale, at fully last Monday's currencies, the top figures
being 58. per 81b. Second qualities of beef were steady,
and quite as dear as last week; but inferior kinds were
much neglected. In prices, however, no quotable change
took place.

From Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shit e, we received 2,260 short horns, &c., from other parts
of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 25 Scots;
and from Ireland, 670 oxen and heifers.

We were again fairly supplied with sheep, the general
quality of which was good. The beat Downs and half
breeds moved off slowly, and, in some few instances, prices
advanced 2d. per 81b., otherwise the mutton trade was firm,
at full currencies. A few superior Downs realised 58. 8d
per 8:b.

Calves moved off slowly, and Thursday's advance in
prices was not supported. The highest quotation was 4s.
6d. per 81b.
The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at about last
week's prices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

0- -

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A RIOT IN SILVER-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE.—AT-
TACK ON THE POLlCE.—Shortly after Mr. Knox took his
seat on the bench this morning, the following charges,
arising out of a riot which took place in Silver-street, Gol-
den-square, on Saturday night, and again yesterday after-
noon, between a number of Scotch bakers and Irish tailors
were brought on :
Daniel M'Carthagan, Irish tailor, was charged with
assaulting Thomas Cole, 220 C, and John Staines, 123 C.
Cole said—l was on duty on Saturday night in Silver-
street, when I saw a crowd of between 500 and 600 persons
behaving in a very disorderly manner. I went to take a
person into custoly, when the prisoner struck me a violent
blow on the cheek, knocking me down. I was thus pre-
vented from taking the person into custody.
Staines—l saw the prisoner strike Cole, and on assisting
Cole in taking the prisoner into custody, the prisoner struck
me. He was very violent all the way to the station, and
bad been drinking,
Prisoner—l am very sorry. I was only in the affair five
minutes.

Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for one month's hard
labour.

Christopher llennessy, tailor, was next charged with
riotous conduct and assaulting police-constable John West,
210 C.

West—l was in Silver-street on Saturday night with
Sergeant Smith, 1 C, when the prisoner without my inter-
fering with him struck me and violently kicked me on the
ankle, and knocked my hat off. The prisoner was drunk.
Wm. Barker, 77 C—l saw the prisoner strike the lase
witness, who had not touched him.
The prisoner said he had a wife and family to support.
Mr. Knox—l am very sorry for your wife and family,
but these disturbances have been going on for the past two
or three weeks.

Prisoner said there had been a row going on between the
tailors and bakers.
Committed for a month.

TIDMAN'S SEA SALT has been analysed by

elevate and adorn humanity. Great credit is due to
those who have hitherto so strenuously laboured to
better their lives, and to soothe their weary passage
to the grave. We know of such that their praise is
not of men, but the society whose humble members
they struggle to benefit, should not be unmindful of
their efforts, and above all should endeavour to fol-
low their good example. There may have been
some partial excuse for the neglect that has hitherto
prevailed from the ignorance that has existed in
regard to the unhappy position of these "incur-
ables," but that reason will not now be valid when
the subject has been brought so prominently for-
ward, and it is earnestly to be trusted that on moral
and social grounds the claim now put forward may
be acknowledged and recognised. It is truly stated
in this paper that in our own ranks of life such suf-
ferers aro deserving of every care and thought, and
their position in a humble sphere serves but to in-
crease their misery and misfortune. The charity of
the benevolent and the attention of the authorities
ought to be put in requisition at once to forward the
interests of a large and needy portion of the inhabi-
tants of this wealthy and populous country.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

A short series of performances commenced on
Saturday evening with the brilliantly successful
opera of " Faust." The house was crowded from
the parterre to the uppermost passage in the rear of
the loftiest seat in the amphitheatre, and numbers
were sent sway from sheer incapacity of the vast
space of Her Majesty's Theatre to contain the
visitors. This is a very gratifying fact, as it shows
most unmistakeably that, notwithstanding the bill
period of the year. good music and good singing,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

A short series of performances commenced on
Saturday evening with the brilliantly successful
opera of " Faust." The house was crowded from
the parterre to the uppermost passage in the rear of
the loftiest seat in the amphitheatre, and numbers
were sent away from sheer incapacity of the vast
space of Her Majesty's Theatre to contain the
visitors. This is a very gratifying fact, as it shows
most unmistakeably that, notwithstanding the dull
period of the year, good music and good singing,
although in a foreign language, will invariably
attract " the million." The cast of the opera
in-
eluded, as before, Mdlle, Titiens and Trebelli as
Margarita and Siebel, Mdmo. Taccani as Martha,
Santley as Valentine, Signor Bossi (in place of Gas-
sier) as Mephistopheles, and, to the regret of the
immense audience, Signor Volpini as Faust, in plane
of Sims Reeves, whose nun-appearance was occa-
sioned by his not having recovered from the hoarse-
ness under which he has been labouring for some
time. The opera was given in splendid style by
the above artistes—Volpini receiving the most en-
thusiastic applause for the manner in which ho
sung the music of Faust, receiving it as he did with
only a couple of hours' notice. The grand march
and chorus of victory, " Gloria immurtaie,". was
splendidly performed under the direction of Signor
Arditi. To-night " Faust" is to be repeated.

PEDIGREE OP HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

The Princess of Wales.

For the following wonderfully ingenious and beau-
tiful sketch of the pedigree of her Royal Highness
the Princess of Wales we are indebted to our
fashionable contemporary the Morning Post. At
any period the outline given below would have been
deeply interesting to the loyal subjects of the
Crown. But it is especially of interest at the pre-
sent moment, when there is every prospect of the
early continuance of this august lineage from the
Emperors Basil and Constantine, through another
generation, according to the welcome announce-
ment given elsewhere from the columns of the
Observer. The pedigree, for which we are indebted
to the Morning Post, a pedigree -indicating the
descent of her Royal Highness from the old Em-
perors of the East, has been traced by Thomas de
Meschin, LLD., of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-
Law:—

SURREY THEATRE,

On Saturday Shakspear's play, " The Winter's
Tale," was produced here in a manner deserving the
highest approbation,and at the same time reflect-
ing the greatest credit upon the joint lessees,
Messrs. Shepherd and James Anderson. It has
been said that the taste of the play-goers on the
other side of the water has been vitiated, and that
Shakspear has been voted a bore; but could he who
holds this opinion but have seen the tremendous gal-
lery of the Surrey, the spacious pit and boxes, filled
as they were with compact masses, and upon the
countenance of each attention plainly visible,
he would at once admit that he laboured
under a mistake. The acting of Mr. Anderson
as Leontas was of more than ordinary excellence,
and Miss Pauncefort's liermione will add greatly
to her reputation. Mrs. Gordon, from America,
and Mr. Russell boat made their first appearance
in the play, and from the opportunity we had of
judging of their abilities, they bid fair to become
highly useful members of the company. Miss S.
Webster made a most interesting Perdita, and
Florizel was well represented by M. Fernandez.
At the conclusion of the play the last new nautical
drama, "Poor Tom: or, Farewell my trim-built
Wherry," was performed, in which Mr. Shepherd
capitally sustained the bravo and jolly Jack tar to
the life; the part of his sweetheart was also prettily
sang and acted by Miss Jacobs.

THAMES.

STRANGE HALLUCINATION BY A Sharp,
a servant girl, aged 16 years, was brought befere Mr. Part-
ridge, charged with stealing Bs. 4d. in silver and copper,
moneys belonging to Mrs. Dixon How.
The prisoner had been in the service of Mt s. Clara How,
a lady residing in Stainsby-road. A few days since the girl
was entrusted by her mistress with a halt-sovereign to pay
a butcher's bill. She returned to her mistress after a few
minutes' absence, and said she had lost the money, Her
story was doubted at the time, but Mrs. How, who is a
kind-hearted lady, overlooked the affair. While Mrs.
Dixon was at tea on Thursday last the girl absconded.
Soon afterwards Mrs. How's children discovered that a box
in the parlour had been forced open, and called their mother's
attention to it. Mrs. How then missed Bs. 4d. from the
box, which contained a much larger sum. She also
missed a black leather bag from a cupboard in her bedroom.
Mrs. How went in search of her servant, and the mother of
the girl assisted her in doing so. The girl was found in the
house of a friend, and upon seeing her mistress she opened
a window, jumped into the street, and made her escape.
She was afterwards captured by a police-constable as she
was making preparations to go to Liverpool with the black
leather bag she had stolen in her possession. It contained
three cotton dresses and several other things belonging to
the prisoner and articles of trifling value the property of
Mrs. How.

The mother of the girl said her husband was a cooper.
The prisoner was the eldest of eight children. The girl had
been in five situations, kept each of them five months only,
and left for the purpose of proceeding to Liverpool.
Mr. Partridge—Liverpool. What does she want there ?
The Mother—l don't know, sir, indeed. She has a
strange fancy to go to Liverpool, although she has no rela-
tives or connections there. When she has been in a situa-
tion five months she becomes low spirited and desponding,
and wishes to go to Liverpool.

Mr. Partridge—These fits come over her periodically.
The Mother—Yes, air, she is thinking of Liverpool
morning, noon, and night. She only took sufficient money
from Mrs. How to enable her to proceed to Liverpool, She
might have taken more.

Mrs. How said that was really the case. She had no
wish the poor girl should be sent to prison.
Mr. Partridge—I think I must do so for a short time.
The Mother—l have to implore you not to send my
child to a prison. Her father and myself will do all we
can to keep her out of harm's way in future. She is not
16 until next April. She would not think of robbing any
one if she had not fancied going to Liverpool. She started
one morning for Liverpool with Prayer-book and Bible in
her hands, and we brought her back.
Mr. Partridge said he would remand the girl at present
for one week, and he would decide what was to be done
with her when she was brought up again.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

A short series of performances commenced on
Saturday evening with the brilliantly successful
opera ot " Faust." The house was crowded from
the parterre to the uppermost passage in the rear of
the loftiest seat in the amphitheatre, and numbers
were sent away from sheer incapacity of the vast
space of Her Majesty's Theatre to contain the
visitors. This is a very gratifying fact, as it shows
most unmistakeably that, notwithstanding the dull
period of the year, good music and good singing,
although in a foreign language, will invariably
attract " the million." The cast of the opera in-
cluded, as before, Mdlle. Titiens and Trebelli as
Margarita and Siebel, Mdmo. Taccani as Martha,
Santley as Valentine, Signor Bossi (in place of Gas'
Bier) as Mephistopheles, and, to the regret of the
immense audience, Signor Volpini as Faust, in plane
of Sims Reeves, whose non-appearance was occa-
sioned by his not having recovered from the hoarse-
ness under which he has been labouring for some
time. The opera was given in splendid style by
the above artistes—Volpini receiving the most en-
thusiastic applause for the manner in which he
sung the music of Faust, receiving it as he did with
only a couple of hours' notice. The grand march
and chorus of victory, " Gloria immQrtaie," was
splendidly performed under the direction of Signor
Arditi. To-night " Faust" is to be repeated.

of contiguous columns. Immediately after the arrival of the
Lieut.-Gen. Commanding, the troops were put in motion,
the infantry changing position to the left on. the first bri-
gade. The cavalry followed in the same direction, formed
line of contiguous columns in rear of the infantry, again
changed position to the right and repeated the movements
several times. The division then advanced to Eelmoor and
marched past, the artillery and cavalry in open column of
batteries and squadrons, and the infantry in open column
of grand divisions in quick time. The movements and the
marching past were admirably performed, and the troops re-
turned to quarters shortly after 12 o'clock. The weather
was most unfavourable during the great part of the ma-
noeuvres.
