LYCEUM THEATRE.

A new farce, entitled "The Colleen Bawn. Settled at
Last," was produced at this theatre on Saturday, and met
with a reception usually accorded to trifles arranged for
the purpose of affording a hearty laugh. The fun consists
in tho discovery that the beautiful Eily O'Conner, whose
fame has become so universal in London, is no other than
the daughter of Lord Dundreary. Miss Lydia Thompson,
as Eily, acted with her usual sprightliness, and executed
an Irish jig in capital style. Mr. Selby made up well for
Lord Dundreary ; and altogether the farce fully answered
the purpose for which it was produced.
The extraordinarily successful drama of " Peep O'Day "
continues to attract large and delighted audiences, and it is
pleasant to find that Mr. Falconer is still successfully reap •
ing the fruits of his own talent and industry.

THE TRoors IN CANADA.—The Canadian Staff
will soon have dwindled to proportions like those which it
possessed before the Trent affair caused such a large acces-
sion to its strength. Major-General Russell will shortly
take the command of the brigade at Aldershott which Col.
Haines held from the period of his departure up to a few
weeks since. Major-General Rumley also returns, taking
over the office of Inspector-General of Infantry from his
locum tenons, Major-General Lawrence. Colonel Lysons'
return we have already announced, and Colonel Mackenzie,
the Deputy- Quartermaster -General, has also come back.
Of the officers employed on particular service nearly all are
in England. Major Pearson has resumed his post as De-
puty-assistant Adjutant. General at headquarters, which,
however, he may be expected to vacate in a few weeks,
regular five years of Staff service having nearly expired
when he went to Canada. 'Major-General Napier remains
in Canada, and as long as the two battalions of guards are
in the colony we may presume that Lord Frederick Paulet
will continue on the Staff. At present we hear nothing in-
dicating a probability of their return before next year, and
several of the officers not relishing colonial service have
sent, or are about sending, in their papers. The Ist bat-
talion of the Military Train is to be brought home ; and,
bearing in mind that the train is now much required in cur
large camps, and is scarcely needed in Canadian garrisons,
there seems but little reason for keeping the remaining bat-
talion in the colony. These homeward movements indicate
either a desire to leave the Canadians more to their own
devices in the event of attack, or a disbelief in those aggres-
sive movements of the Federals, when their hands are clear
of the South, which appear to be apprehended in some
quartera,-4rmy stied Navy Ocizette.
