STANDARD THEAIRE.

The late Mr. Sheridan Knowles's chef d'oeuvre, the clas-
sical play of " Virginius," was produced at this theatre last
evening, for the purpose of introducing to the metropolitan
public Mr. Henry Vandenhoff (son of the late eminent
tragedian, Mr. John Vandenhoff), in the character of the
noble Roman father. Mr. H. Vandenhoff's conception and
impersonation of this difficult part was characterised
throughout by that well-studied and delicately-classic style
which so pre-eminently distinguished his lamented pro-
genitor. Totally avoiding "clap-trap" and servile unite-
gave, in a scholarly, artistic, and elocu-
tion, for which a part like Virginius affords ample scope,

ought to elevate him to a high position on the London stage.

MARKETS---TIIIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.
The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was
small, and the condition of most samples was by no means
satisfactory. Dry qualities changed hands slowly, at late
rates ; but damp parcels were very dull, and almost nominal
in value.

The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In
nearly all descriptions, a moderate retail business was trans-
acted, on former terms.

----
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous
quotations.

Good and fine malting barley was firm in price ; other-
wise, the barley trade ruled inactive, at late rates.
The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely
late rates.

There was a moderate supply of oats on the stands, and
the trade ruled inactive for all descriptions, at fully the late
decline in prices.

Beans were in far from active request, yet their value
was supported.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—There has been a very limited amount of business
transacted, and prices have remained without any material
variation.
SUGAR.--The market has been more active, and good
and fine descriptions have in some instances slightly ad-
vanced. In the refined market late quotations are well
supported.
COFFEE.—A fair amount of business has been negotiated
in colonial descriptions, at slightly enhanced prices.
Ricc.—There has been an average demand for East
India, but without any material change to record in prices.
SALTPETRE.--Business has been more animated, and
prices generally have shown an upward tendency.
TALLow.—The market has continued dull, but without
any change of importance in values, P.Y.C., on the spot,
being quoted 45s 6d, and spring delivery 45s 6d to 46s per
cwt.

nubia was overhauled by the Federal steamer Tuscarora.
A boat's crew was sent on board, her hatches opened, the
cargo (coals) put on one side, and the vessel searnhed
throughout. The crew of the Tuscarora stated that they
were in search of the steamer Pearl,

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.—
Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the
Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded
resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey.
The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth,
laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial
cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from
the consciousness of humiliating infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri-
monial discords and scandals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form su h a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised

Dr. L &WERT, M.D., has been engaged for 20 years in the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on " Self-Pre-
servation " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main-
tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life.

distressed workmen in Lancashire. A collection has been
made by Mr. Mark, the Consul ; and the Rev. M. J

in that City will contribute at least £5O.

LA W---THIS DAY;

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
FOSTER V. FOSTER AND BERRIDGE.

This was a petition presented by the husband, a Major
n the Indian Army, for dissolution of his marriage on the
ground of adultery committed by the respondent with the
co-respondent Berridge, who was manager of Meux's
brewery, at the corner of Tottenham-court-road. Damages
were laid at £lO,OOO. _ _ _

The respondent denied the adultery, and pleaded cruelty,
wilful desertion, and general conduct conducing to the com-
mittal of adultery. The co-respondent also denied the alle-
gations to the petition.

The respondent, according to the opening statement of
counsel, in the year 1856 arrived in this country from India
for the benefit of her health, and also for the education of
three of her children, and took apartments in Bloomsbury-
square. Some time after it was alleged she became ac-
quainted with the co-respondent, and an adulterous inter-
course took place, the result f which was the birth of a
child.

A number of witnesses were examined, but their evidence
merely proved the marriage, and the terms upon which
Major Foster and his wife lived while in India. One
of whom, however, a nurse, sa'd she had very
frequently seen Mr. Berridge at Mrs. Foster's
lodgings. She knew it was that gentleman, because
she had before been engaged at a house in Russell-
street, Bloomsbury, the back windows of which looked
into the brewery, and she had frequently seen him going in.
The case will last at least two or three days.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN RE LUMLEY.-HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

This day was. appointed for last examination and dis-
charge, but the assignees (represented by Messrs. Link-
later), required further accounts, and an adjournment took
place till the 21st January, at three.
The cases during the morning were unimportant,

POLAND.

The following is the address of the Polish Central
National Committee to the Jews in Poland, and their
reply :
To our Brethren of the Old Covenant,—Several centu-
ries ago, when fanaticism was raging over all Europe, when
the institutions of the middle ages had scornfully thrust
you out of the pale of society, and every country was rear
ing funeral piles for you, hospitable and humane Poland
was the only nation who spread over you her sheltering
wings and hugged you to a mother's bosom.
And mutual relations were formed amongst us, and you
occupied a standing in the Polish community, and there
was no example in Poland of any persecution, not only of
your faith, but of your habits and customs.
And the moment came at last when you recognised
Poland to be your country, and we acknowledged you vo-
luntarily and from heartfelt conviction as our fellow-
brothers, which no nation in the world has had the heart
to do as yet.

And, henceforth, no one can ever deny your being to-
gether with us the children of one mother—the children of
our country Poland.

Only the foe laying in wait for the perdition of Poland,
the foe only, who rests his rule in our country upon dupli-
city and falsehood, and by causing division and setting us
at variance, this foe only makes yet distinctions with regard
to you.

This foe deliberates upon you in his committees at St.
Petersburg like upon Indian pariahs; forbids you, like in-
fected beings, from settling in muscovite provinces and in
Lithanie, and Russia thrusts you out of human society by
legal restrictions.

Here in this by the Congress of Vienna established
kingdom of Poland, being unable to contradict the dis-
tinctly expressed national will, the foe nevertheless renders
this will unavailing by enacting for you distinct laws full of
restrictions and exceptions, whilst we have out of our own
free will and most sincerely settled long since the so called
" Jewish Question," by a brotherly embrace.
By these deceits the foe imposes upon some of the more
credulous amongst you—he fancies to be able to form
amongst you a party for himself, and falsely maintains that
the immunities granted to you proceed from him

Brethren of the Old Covenant, we have faith in your
being Poles; judge therefore with Polish mind and heart
these proceedings of the invader bearing heavily upon Po-
land. Like Poles, unite with us in a common family, use
your greatest exertions for the emancipation of your com-
mon country, and never forget, that the necessity of enact-
ing for you distinct exceptional laws can only cease in an
entire, free, and independent Poland.

THE _IONIAN ISLANDS.

Of these islands, the volume of colonial statistics recently
issued by the Board of Trade reports the population, in
1860, to be 232,426, and the area 1,041 square miles ; in
round number the six-hundredth part of our possessions, in
point of population, and tha three-thousandth part in area.
The productions of the islands in 1860 comprised 69,253
barrels of olive oil, worth from 50s. to bss. a barrel;
30,250,89711 m. of currants, worth from five guineas upwards
per I,ooolbs. ; and 148,539 barrels of wine, ranging from
Hs. to 2 Is. per barrel. Only 67,580 bushels of wheat were
grown in the year ; the soil is more favourable to grape cul-
tivation than to the raising of corn, and indeed corn is the
chief import taken. The live stock consisted of 13,171
horses, 10,374 horned cattle, 131,684 sheep, and 111,907
goats, a considerable increase within these few years. The
revenue of 1860 was £140,855, the expenditure, £151,187;
in the last 12 years the lonian revenue has only on two oc •
casions provided the Exchequer with a surplus. The ex-
port duty on the olive crop forms the standard and maim
spring of lonian finance, and the trade being as speculative
as the hop trade in England, the revenue is liable to violent
fluctuations ; the export duty on oil produced above £BO,OOO
in 1858, only £19,000 in 1859, and £27,000 in 1860. More
than a third of the revenue of the year was raised from the
export duties of 191 per cent. on olive oil and currants, and
a still larger proportion from import duties ; only £24,090
by stamp duties and other inland taxation of a trifling cha-
racter, no article of consumption (save salt and gunpowder)
being taxed except on exportation or importation. The re-
turn of imports and exports is for 1859, a year of bad har-
vest. The imports amounted to £1,306,303, the exports to
only £649,047. The imports from Turkey amounted to
£432,980 ; from Greece, £106,311; from Austria, £152,360;
from the United Kingdom, £355,050, cotton being the chief
item in the export from this country. The entrances and
clearances of shipping in 1860 were 5:7,320 tons inwards
525,802 tons outwards. They have shown a large increase
within the last two or three years. Wages in 1860 averaged
355. a month for domestic labour, Is. 6d. a day for predial,
and 2s. 6d. a day in trade. The lonian peasant is said to
be not very provident. There was an abundant harvest in
1858, and the marriages next year were 4,002 ; the harvest
in 1859 was defective, and the marriages of 1860 fell to
1,358. The population contains no less than 116 men to
every 100 women; and it is singular that for several years
the births, marriages, and deaths in Corfu have all been
more than in Cephalonia, where the population is greater.
