ous attack. A change of tactics on the part of the
supposed defending force made several changes of
front necessary to the attackers, and the last move-
ment was a grand bayonet charge, which, given
with the loud shout and cheers for which the English
soldiery are famous when handling the national
weapon, made the large mass of people, who had
stolidly watched the muzzles of the rifles deliver
their fire, take to their heels and run. The troops
were then marched in a column to a large railed off
space for the review. To this place the people from
all parts of the country round seemed to think they
had special right, for they came in every sort of
vehicle it is possible to imagine, save and except
barrows, and apace was found for all, the only
place reserved being a small spot for the
family of Earl Cowper. The ground was
admirably kept by the local police under Colonel
Robinson, the chief constable, and at the
flagstaff were the Hon. F. Cowper, First Com-
missioner of her Majesty's Office of Works ; Lady
Dowager Cowper, and many of the nobility and
gentry. The troops passed before Col. Erskine, the
Inspector- General, and Col. Ibbotsox, the Assistant-
Inspector, the artillery leading, the rear being
brought up by the local corps. The proceedings
were highly satisfactory, and those who had taken
part in them had several hours' enjoyment in the
extensive and beautiful park before returning to
town, an enjoyment which was greatly enhanced
by some home-brewed ale.

ferent play ; and we hear that " No. 66" by the
cachinnatory Offenbach is speedily to form the
groundwork of another selection which will quite
disprove the proverb about " too many cooks," At
the Oxford the infant pianist " Miriam" (eight
years of age) continues to display wonderful pre-
cocity on the instrument, and it is a mystery how
her tiny fingers can accomplish the mechanical diffi-
culties that seem to be overcome with case by her.
Mr. George Hodson, in his multifarious exhibitions
of Irish fun, still finds pretty and intelligent aid in
Miss Kate Balfe. The skipping-rope dancing of
Madame Ramsden is quite a novelty in the Terpsi-
chorean art. Les Freres Talliott work up the au-
dience to a pitch of wonder and excitement by their
thrilling evolutions on the still trapeze, and the
D'Aubans (brother and sister--not of Sir Henry
Bishop) are the cleverest and most fantastic pair of
dancers we nave seen anywhere. The eye flags in
following the gyrations of the brother, who executes
a sort of dumb Carneval de Venise with his legs.
We wish he would dance the " Sailor's Hornpipe"
oftener, with, if possible, the old tune. Mr. Jongh-
mans is still indefatigable in his attempts to rouse
his musical forces to the necessary point of enthu-
siasm for their art ; young Mr. Melling presides
ably at the pianoforte ; Mr. Plumpton (his wife
being an admirable solo player on the pianoforte)
does like office at the harmonium ; and Mr. Husk
looks beamingly from the " chair" vacated by the

On Saturday three of the North London corps—.
namely, the 20th, 37th (Bloomsbury), and 39th
Middlesex (Finsbury), were officially inspected by
Colonel Erskine in Regent's-park. The muster of
each of the corps was not so strong as it ought to
have been ; but those present underwent a very
.aatiafactory inspection. At the conclusion of the
"t frill the inspecting officer made a short speech, in
which he expressed his pleasure at viewing the good
feeling shown by corps representing districts meet-
ing together. There should be no local jealousy
among Volunteers, he said, for they were all banded
together for one honourable purpose, and they
should only strive to excel in military efficiency.
The 3d Essex Artillery, representing Stratford,
West Ham, and other outlying districts, have
erected a very commodious drill shed, which was
opened a short time since by Lord Ranelagh, in the
presence of Colonel M'Murdo and many officers and
private gentlemen interested in the Volunteer force.
The statements made on the occasion show that the
Volunteer spirit in this district is gaining ground.
The Surrey Rifle Association lately held the
annual rifle meeting at the butts of the London
Scottish and Civil Service, on Wimbledon-common,
when prizes to a great value were competed for by
members of Volunteer regiments in the county of
Surrey.


CANTERBURY HALL.

As an ordinary rule, the announcement by a
" Ghost" that it was " the last few nights of his
appearance," would be hailed as a welcome piece of
news by those who do not take kindly to the
supernatural. Last night's audience at, the Can-
terbury Hall did not share in such grati-
fication, but their applause at " Hodge
Podge (notified as soon about to retire into pri-
vate life), showed that they were sorry to lose
his society. The Mephistopheles of the " Hodge
Podge," and other creations of the kind, Mr. Van-
dervell, looked very well, we thought, prepared, no
doubt, at any moment, to go off in a body of smoke
should the Lord Chamberlain be moved to his cap-
ture. We confess we shared in the regret of the
audience at the news that " Hodge Podge" is to be
withdrawn, because it is very properly said that,
apart from the contemplation of the beautiful
tableaux presented, the invention, perfected as it is
here, is, in the language of the Hon: Mr. Norton,
susceptible of almost inexhaustible application, and
is likely to suggest and elucidate many points in the
science of optics. The optical effects were splendidly
produced last night ; the substitution of the mast
for the boat on the rolling billows on which the fic-
titious prince is tossed, being a great improvement ;
the combat with the hydra-headed monster a won-
der of broadsword skill and optical arrangement,
the groupings admirably devised ; the illuminated
waterfall pretty in the extreme, and the final exhi-
bition of fireworks, culminating in what is now
famous as the " Curtain on Fire," being refulgent
to a degree. What with these scenic representa-
tions in this part of the hall, and the attractions of
the picture gallery in the other, there is certainly no
lack of the spectacular at the Canterbury Hall.
Here, as at the Oxford, are selections from " Orphee
aux Enfers," " Martha" (Miss Russell's singing in
which is perfection), and " The Brother and Sister,"
supported by Miss Barrie and digs Hayes, Messrs.
St. Albyn, Green, Elton, Williams, Stuart, Kim-
berly, &c., with a full band and chorus of 40, un-
der the direction of Mr. Jonghmans. Mr. Arthur
Lloyd is a host in himself. His supremacy over the
sympathies and risible muscles was asserted the
other day, when an audience at a concert given for
the Paddington Hospital cut a speech of thanks for
their benevolent assistance short by loud calls for
" Arthur Lloyd." He has an inexhaustible budget
of songs, all humorously written, and delivered
with peculiar quaintness and with a total absence
of effort.

Treaty of Commerce between the Zollverein
and England,

BERLIN, June 3.

'The following is the text of the commercial treaty
just signed in this capital between the representa-
tives of Great Britain and the Zollverein :

" Majesty the King of Prussia, acting for
himself and on behalf of the sovereign countries and
parts of countries, &c., which have joined his tax
and duty system, and in the name of the other
members of the German duty and commercialunion,
&c., on the one part, and her Majesty the Queen of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
upon the other part, both actuated by the wish to
regulate and extend the commercial relations be-
tween the Zollverein and the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland and territories thereto
appertaining, have determined to conclude a treaty
with that object, and have nominated as their
plenipotentiaries the following (names given), who,
after mutual exchange of their powers (which have
been found proper and sufficient), have agreed upon
and concluded the following articles :
" Art. 1. The subjects of the States of the Zoll-
verein who reside temporarily or permanently in the
territories or possessions of her Britannic Majesty,
and the subjects of her Britannic Majesty who
reside temporarily or permanently in the States of
the Zollverein, shall there enjoy, with regard
to pursuance of trade and commerce, the same
rights, and be subjected to no higher or other taxes
than the subjects of any third country the most
favoured in these respects.
" Art. 2. The products of the soil and trade in
the territories and possessions of her Britannic Ma-
jesty imported into the Zollverein, and those of the
Zollverein imported into the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, whether intended for
consumption, warehousing, re-exportation, or tran-
sit, shall be subjected in those places t 3 the same
treatment, and shall in especial pay no higher or
other dues than the products of any other country
the more favoured in these respects.
" Art. 3. Export duties shall be paid upon no
other goods and at no higher or other rates than in
cases of export to the most favoured country, either
in the Zollverein when goods are exported to the
territories and possessions of her Britannic Majesty,
or in her Britannic Majesty's territories and posses-
sions when they are exported to the Zollverein.
"Art. 4. Transit of goods to and from the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shall be free
from all transit duty in the Zollverein, and transit
of goods to and from the Zollverein shall enjoy the
same advantage in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland.

" Art. 5. Every advantage, privilege, or reduc-
tion in the tariff of import or export duties which
one of the contracting parties should concede to
a third Power shall be simultaneously and uncon-
ditionally conceded to the other. It is further
stipulated that neither of the contracting par-
ties shall enforce an import or export prohibition
against the other which is not simultaneously ap-
plied to all other nations. The contracting parties
engage not to prohibit the export of coals, nor to
burden it with duty. The "preceding stipulations
relating to export prohibitions shall not prejudice
the obligations of the German Federal States
belonging to the Zollverein, arising out of their
regulations.

" Art. 6. With respect to making or ticketing
goods or other packages to patterns and manufac-
turers or trade marks, the subjects of the states of
the Zollverein shall enjoy the same protection as
the natives of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and the same privilege shall be ex-
tended to her Britannic Majesty's subjects in. the
State of the Zollverein.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or
of any othey country, and exports from these colonies
or possessions to the Zollverein shall not be ex-
posed to any higher or other duties than those levied
upon exports to the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland.
" Art. 8. The present treaty shall come into
operation on July 1, 1865, and shall remain in force
until June 30, 1877. In case neither of the con-
tracting parties shall have given notice to the other,
twelve months previous to that date, of an intention
to terminate the treaty, the same shall continue in
force until the expiration of a year from the day
upon which one or other of the contracting parties
has given notice of its cessation.
" Art. 9. The present treaty shall be ratified, and
