AIRS. SIDDONS AS LADY MACBETIL—In the sleep-
walking scene, Mrs. Siddons won especial admira-
tion. Her appearance with the lighted taper, her majestic
figure clothed in shroud-like draperies, her strangely fixed
gaze, her somnambulistic movements, her solemn voice
sunk to a whisper, yet still articulate, powerfully impressed
the audience. It was that the artistic arrangement of her
dress was possibly due to the friendly aid of Sir Joshua
Reynolds. Mr. Boaden chronicles having seen the great
painter on the occasion of the first performance sitting in
the orchestra—" all gaze—all wonder." After this, the
part of Lady Macbeth seems to have been regarded as the
exclusive possession of Mrs. Siddons during the remainder
of her brilliant career.— Once a Week.
APPREHENSION OF A GLASGOW MEDICAL MAN.
—We understand that a medical gentleman of this
city was apprehended on Monday night by the police on
suspicion of being connected with a case of the most serious
character. All that we are enabled to state at present is
that his mother-in-law died some three weeks ago, and
that his wife died on Saturday last. A post-mortem exa-
mination of the body of the latter, which was conveyed to
Edinburgh for interment, will, we believe, take place. It
may be that the deaths of the ladies can be accounted for
by purely innocent and natural causes ; but that something
has occurred to excite very uneasy feelings in the minds of
the authorities is made plain by the fact that a medical
gentleman, who has been several years in practice here,
and who occupies a good position, has been taken into cus
tedy.—Glasgow Rera4l.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

ARRAH-NA-POGUE ; on, THE WICKLOW
WEDDING.

Last evening Mr. Dion Boucicault's new drama,

" Arrah-na-Pogue," which has for sometime figured
conspicuously in the bills of the play of this house,
was produced, andreceived with a success as genuine
and spontaneous as it was deserved. The drama
has been placed upon the stage with all that minute
attention to detail which marked the production of
" The Colleen Bawn" and " The Streets of London;"
but for intense interest and scenic illusion it far sur-
passes either of them. The success that attended
the representation of this drama was more than as-
sured from the fact that " Arrah-na-Pogue," in
November last, was first played at the Theatre
Royal, Dublin, where it created the greatest delight
and wonder, and that, too, amongst those

tc
And to the manner born."

The plot is remarkably close and compact, yet
clear, simple, and intelligible, merits that of late
years have been the exception and not the rule in
dramas of the sensational school. Briefly, it is as
follows:—A young Irish gentleman, Beamish
M'Coul, for his participation in the rebellion of
'9B has been proscribed, and a reward of £5OO
offered for his apprehension. Beamish, however,
has escaped to France, yet, notwithstanding the
extreme danger of such a step, he returns to his
native land, for the purpose of marrying his lady
love, Fanny Power, and carrying her back to France.
The young M'Coul is received with the wildest joy
by his former friends and tenants, who one and
all, rich and poor, spurn the offered reward for his
capture ; and during his stay in Wicklow, M'Coul
accepts the shelter Arrah Meelish, his foster sister,
offers him, despite the severe proclamation against
those harbouring rebels. Desirous of rewarding
Arrah's Jove and fidelity and the devotion
of his peasant followers who surround and
protect him, he waylays Michael Feeny, the
Government collector of his own confiscated estates,
robs him of the money, and divides the plunder
between his people and Arrah, who is ignorant of
the source from which her dowry has come, for on
that day she is to be married to Shaun-na-Post, a
carman of the neighbourhood. The money is traced
to her possession, and on her wedding-day, amidst
the merrymaking around the cabin fire of her new
husband, she is arrested for complicity in robbery
and rebellion. She is unable to account for the
possession of the money without betraying Beamish
M'Coul; and she has withheld all knowledge of her
foster brother's presence in Ireland from Shaun,
that he may not be equally involved in the capital
offence she has committed, by harbouring a rebel.
At this moment Shaun, perceiving that some secret
withholds her, but not suspecting what it may be,
and seeing her overwhelmed with the contempt and
disgrace of her position, interposes, and acknowledges
that he robbed Feeny and gave the notes to Arrah.
Shaun claims the coat Beamish has left behind
him as his own, and the pass of Feeny being found
in his pocket appears so conclusive against him that
on his wedding eve he is marched to prison as a
robber and a rebel. In the second act we find Shaun
in prison, awaiting his trial by court-martial. Arrah
visits him, and having confessed all to her husband,
he only takes her all the more closer to his heart for
having sheltered and protected the M'Coul. The
court-martial is held, and, notwithstanding the
exertions of the good-humoured and generous
Colonel O'Grady, he is found guilty and condemned
to be hanged. Michael Feeny visits Shaun in
prison, to taunt him with his joyful wedding, and
narrowly escapes with his life from the hands of the
loving yet desperate husband. Beamish M'Coul,
finding that his thoughtless conduct has involved
Arrah and Shaun in such grief, resolves to deliver
himself up to Government as the ringleader of a
proposed revolt, and having, as he imagines, lost
the love of Fanny Power, he carries out his inten-
tion, at the same time confessing that it was he who
stopped Michael Feeny ; also that he gave the notes
taken from him to Arrah as her wedding portion,
and thus he acquits Shaun from the charges laid
against him. Colonel O'Grady, however, during
the earlier portions of the drama, has been engaged

in the endeavour to procure Beamish's pardon, and

just at this particular moment it is achieved. This
makes Beamish and Mary Power happy, and in
their mutual congratulations poor Shaun for the
moment is forgotten. O'Grady, however, recollects
the poor fellow, and having procured an order for
his release, he puts spurs to his horse to reach
the jail before the execution takes place. Whilst all
this is going on far from Wicklow, Shaun is in
confinement there, but thinking of nothing but his
darling Arrah. He receives intelligence that she is
sitting on the cliff abutting on the watch tower of
Ballybedagh Castle, whom he in his desperation de-
termines to see once again. He forces the bars from
his prison window, and by the aid of the ivy grow-
ing to the walls he attempts an ascent, although he
has a clear fall of 100 feet into the sea if the fragile
plant should fail him. Here we have the
sensation scene of the drama, which we pur-
posely abstain from describing, because it
would rob the visitor of half his pleasure if he
knew before hand exactly the effect produced.
We may, however, say it is highly effective and
worked out in the most artistic manner. The last
scene represents the summit of the Watch Tower
and the cliffs adjoining. Here Arrah is lamenting
the loss of her husband, when Feeny enters and
urges his suit, as she will soon be a widow. At this
moment he sees Shaun struggling up the ivy, and
Arrah indignantly spurning his protestations of
love, he seizes a stone to cast on Shaun, when for-
tunately the husband reaches the summit just time
enough to seize Feeny by the leg, and both
disappear down the awful chasm. Fortune favours
Shaun, for in his descent he again seizes the ivy,
and by that means he is enabled to re-ascend to the
point from which hehad but a moment before fallen.
The joy of Arrah is intense, and universal hap-
piness is produced by the O'Grady arriving with
Shaun's pardon. We have nothing but commendation
for the actors and actresses engaged in the perform-
ance. Mrs. Dion Boucicault's Arrah-na-Pogue is ano-
ther of those charming impersonations for which she
is unrivalled,and Mr.Boucicault's Shaun-na-Post is a
perfect admixture of impulsive feeling, blundering
wit, and good humour. Mr. John Brougham, as
the O'Grady, gave a genial representation of the
true Irish gentleman, and Mr. Dominick Murray, as
Michael Feeny, a low, sneaking process server, gave
another proof of his being an admirable and perfect
actor. Mr. Seyton had a small part to sustain, viz.,
the Sergeant, but trifling as it was he made it stand
out very prominently by the extreme ability with
which he acted it. Mr. Vandenhoff as the
M'Coul was highly effective, and Mr. D.
Fisher gave sufficient importance to the red-tape
official, who seemed to hold the power of life and
death quite at his command. The " general uti-
lity" parts were all admirably sustained, so admir-
ably indeed that we should imagine they had been
" imported direct" for the occasion.
The scenery, in a word, is magnificent. The in-
terior of Arrah's cottage, with its merrymakers, was
reality itself. Then again the court-martial was a very
effective scene, but the last, or rather we should say, to
be guilty of a bull—the three last were perfect won-
ders in senic painting. First we have the stone wall
'of the castle, with the ivy clinging to it ; then the
sunset ; and finally the lovely view of the ocean, by
moonlight, from the watch tower. The audience
were in extacies, and before the action of the drama
was allowed to proceed Mr. Lloyd had to acknow-
ledge the applause his talent, as an artist, had
elicited.
The principal actors were all called before the
curtain, and amidst the enthusiastic applause of a
house crowded from floor to ceiling, Mr. G. Vining
gave out the piece for repetition every evening until
further notice.

THE EXTENSIVE JEWELLERY ROBBERY AT LIVER-
POOL.--The man James, who has been known as
Selby and by other aliases, was ag%in brought before Mr.
Raffles at Liverpool yesterday, and committed for trial at
the assizes, as one of the persons engaged in the robbery.
of £l,OOO worth of jewellery from the shop of Mr. Critch-
ley, London-road, Liverpool. It was proved that ho had
lodged with Grey (another of the men charged), in Chapel-
street, Tottenham-court-road, last year ; and that since the
robbery he had disposed of a large amount of the missing
property. The total value which has been recovered is
about £BOO.

The Bank Failure in Birmingham.

BIRMINGHA3I, Wednesday.

It is probable that no business of importance will
be transacted at the adjourned meeting of the cre-
ditors of Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and Marshall,
to-morrow, as the committee appointed a week ago
intend to propose a further adjournment to the 30th
inst., " in order to give ample opportunity for offers
for the purchase of the bank property." Tenders
may be sent in up to the 29th inst., according to
the decision which the committee have now made
public.

It may be expected that there will be a very sharp
competition for the " assets and property" of the
defunct bank, as there is a very large profit to be
made out of the transaction. It has been known
from the beginning that one of the Birmingham
banks contemplated making the purchase from
the creditors—but other banks including a
London bank—are understood to be in the field. It
is not at all certain, however, that the creditors will
dispose of their interest in the concern to any buyer.
One disadvantage of such a course, and one which,
in the opinion of many of them must outweigh the
advantage of being relieved from further care with
respect to the assets, is, that they would get nothing
for the goodwill of Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and
Marshall's large business connection. This is a
matter of great concern ; and consequently the pro-
ject of starting a joint-stock company to carry on
the business of the bank which has just failed is
taking firm hold of the minds of many of the credi-
tors, and of a large section of the public. The
columns of the Birmingham Daily Gazette—being
the local journal which is understood to be favour-
able to the scheme—have been filled with letters on
the subject every day this week. " A Merchant" is
willing to invest £lO,OOO, another promises £5,000,
and a great number of offers of smaller sums have
been made. Ido not know what the creditors may
say of the project if it be brought under their notice;
but it is not unlikely that they may be very favour-
ably disposed towards it, seeing that the object is to
secure for them ultimately a dividend of 20s. in the
pound. The proposal is that " the creditors should
be first considered in the allotment of shares," and
that when capital is called for, the creditors, instead
of being required to pay up, shall have credit for
the amount of the present value of their interest,
that is to say, for 10s. or 12s. in the pound on their
present claims against the late bank. It is very
clearly shown by the writer in the Gazette that if
this new Joint-stock Bank should have anything
like the success which has attended the operations of
the other leading banks in the town the present de-
ficiency of £400,000 would soon be cleared off. Of
course the project will encounter, as the mere sug-
gestion of it has already encountered, a great deal
of opposition. Established interests do not care to
see a rival spring up amongst them ; but the
disinterested portion of the public seem to look
with favour on the new scheme, as it promises
to redeem the heavy losses of the farmers and tra-
ders, and especially of the friendly societies, con-
cerned in the failure of the late bank. There is cer-
tainly an opening for the proposed bank—the open-
ing left by the failure of Attwoods, Spooner, and
Marshall's bank itself. The decision of the matter
is in the hands of the creditors, and dispassionate
outsiders only hope they may see the direct road to
their own interests. There is little doubt that the
estate will be kept out of bankruptcy.
Offices have been opened in the town and district
where the creditors have been proving their debts
free of charge, and conferring the necessary powers
on their legal representatives to vote for having the
affairs of the late bank wound up privately. You
are aware that up to the evening on which Attwoods,
Spooner, and Marshall stopped payment, and filed
a petition in bankruptcy, such assistance was ex-
pected from a member of the Attwood family as
might save the bank from ruin. That expectation
was disappointed. Some members of the commit-
tee appointed by the creditors have been up to Lon-
don this week to confer with, it is understood, the
same member of the Attwood family from whom
the assistance was expected ; but what has been the
result of their deliberations is not for the present
allowed to transpire. •
Just as I had finished the last sentence, and was
about to refer to a rumour which has obtained cur-
rency for some days, to the effect that one of the
private banks in the town was about to be converted
into a joint-stock concern, trustworthy intelligence
has reached me that the bank in question is Messrs.
Lloyd's, and that the rumour is indeed true. Messrs.
Lloyd's is the oldest private bank in the town, and
the publication of its balance-sheet on the same
morning on which Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and
Marshall's failure was announced, did more than
anything else to prevent the panic that might have
ensued. It is understood that Messrs. Lloyd them-
selves intend to take an active part in the manage-
ment of the joint-stock bank which they intend
starting. For the present there is no further know-
ledge than this abroad as to their intentions, but
the public will doubtless be told in a few days of all
that is to be done.

A few words maybe said with respect to the failure
of the Penny Bank; although it has not much con-
nection with the subject placed at the head of this
letter. The stoppage of this bank has been a heavy
blow to the saving habits which have been fostered
with so much care amongst the poor of this town,
and which parents have been inculcating on their
children for many years. As A never sees B in
distress without wishing that C would relieve him,
so somebody has suggested in the correspondence
columns of the local newspapers that somebody else
should come forward to make up the deficiency of
the Penny Bank. What that deficiency is nobody
knows at present ; but, whatever it may turn out to
be, it is not at all improbable that it may be made
up to the poor depositors, for we have some generous
men and women in Birmingham. The greatest
secrecy is maintained—for the benefit of the
depositors, it is said—with respect to the state of
the affairs of the bank, and the only facts of impor-
tance that have been allowed to transpire are, that
the total liabilities amount to £5,000 or £6,000, and
that the number of depositors is 15,000 or 16,000.
A vast number of small sums, from a penny to a
crown, and perhaps upwards, will never be claimed,
and hence there will be the larger dividend for the
poorer depositors.

The Post-office London Suburban Directory.

The Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just issued this
supplement to the " London Post-office Directory,"
which will be found of the greatest utility to every
one either in trade or out of it. The present work
is an endeavour, and a very successful one, to ex-
tend to the districts immediately surrounding Lon-
don the advantages of a directory arranged on
precisely the same plan 'as the " London Post-
office Directory," and containing divisions corre-
sponding to the street, commercial, court,
and trade directory of the London work. The
names are taken from the line where the London
Directory ceases up to the extreme boundary of the
Metropolitan Postal District, so that the two works
form a complete guide to the whole area of the
Metropolis and a surrounding circle of 12 miles
radius. For the convenience of persons who do not
require the whole work, it has been divided into
two portions, the northern and the southern suburbs,
according as they lie north and south of the
Thames. A very complete conveyance directory is
added, and a map of the districts is prefixed, of the
same size as that which accompanies the London
Directory, and executed by the same artist, Mr. B.
R. Davies. The work is got up in that style
which so distinguishes all the productions of the
Messrs. Kelly.

That portion of the Channel fleet which has been
lately lying at Spithead, consisting of the Achilles,
20, screw iron frigate, 6,121 -tons, 1,250-horse power,
Capt. E. W. Vansittart; Black Prince, 41, screw
iron frigate, 6,109 tons, 1,250 horse-power, Capt.

3,720 tons, 600-horse power, Capt. A. Phillimore ;
and Liverpool, 39, screw wooden frigate, 2,656 tons,
600-horse power, Capt. Rowley Lambert, left that
anchorage yesterday morning under steam for the
Channel and Portland roadstead. The wind was
fresh from the northward, and the ships might,
therefore, have left Spithead under canvas in lieu of
steam, while at the same time a large saving would
have been effected in the expenditure of fuel, and
also in the wear and tear of machinery.
Her Majesty's ship Pallas, in basin at Woolwich,
has commenced receiving her boilers (four in num-
ber) and machinery, supplied by Messrs. HumphrP
and Tennant. The engines are constructed on the
double cylinder system, and are of the nominal power
of 600 horses, intended to indicate 3,600 horses. Tile
small cylinders are 51in., and the large cylinders
102 in., stroke 3ft. Sin. There are four boilers, each
18ft. long, by 12ft. wide, containing collective)
11,400 ft. of heating surface, and 420 ft. of fire bar.
The propeller is 18ft. diameter, 20ift. pitch, and is
intended to make 75 revolutions per minute, at which
speed the vessel is expected to go 14 knots per hour.
The whole of the shot, shell, guns, and other
War Department stores belonging to her Majesty%
screw frigate Phaeton, 39 guns, 2,396 tons, 400-
horse power, Captain G. Le G. Bowyear, ha
been landed at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, 0•1!ci'
the frigate dismantled, preparatory to being Pad
off into the Steam Reserve.
The enormous sheer legs, made of plates of wrought
iron, which were erected at the head of the fittl
basin a few days ago in Woolwich Dockyard, were.
yesterday tested under steam and bore a strain °I
90 tons. They were made in the dockyard WWl'
under the superintendence of Mr. Trickett, and are
considered fully capably of hoisting double that
weight. .
