Sadler's Well's Theatre.

A new sensational drama, entitled " Baccarat ;
or, the Knave of Hearts," adapted by Mr. Suter
from a Parisian piece, was produced here on Satur-
day. . _

The heroine of the piece, Baccarat, is a female
adventuress and gambler, who being violently in
love with a young artist, over whose birth there is
a mystery, hovers around him, and though she is
employed to ruin him, preserves him, and finally
gives him up to a rival whom he loves.
The female gambler, Baccarat, is played with
great point and spirit by Miss Marriott ; and Mr.
Melville and Mr. Mead play the young artist and
his enemy, the villain, with much effect ; and Mr.
Ellerton, the low comedian, and Miss Lizzie Will-
more and Miss Ellen Beaufort contribute to the
success. The scenery and getting up are very good,
as well as the acting, and the piece seems likely to
have a long and successful run.

ADELPHI THEATEE.—Miss Bateman, having re-
covered from her severe indisposition, will appear to-
morrow evening at the above theatre, for the second time

LYCEUM THEATRE. —The successful career of
" The Roadside Inn," in which Mr. Fechter has
been gaining fresh laurels by his impersonation of Robert
Macaire, was temporarily checked on Saturday evening by
the performance of " Ruy Blas," in obedience to the special
desire of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales. Two boxes were converted into one for the
accommodation of the royal party, and the effect was such
as to render them so conspicuous that the Prince and
Princess were greeted by the audience in a manner which
compelled them to bow their acknowledgments. Their
royal highnesses were accompanied by the Duke of Suther-
land, the Duke of Argyll, Earl Granville, Lord Torring-
ton, and the Hon. Mrs. Bruce.
ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The present
entertainment will be given for the last time on the 11th

entitled " Israel's Return from Babylon," which is to be
produced the first Sunday after Easter in Vienna, for the
benefit of the Destitute Female Saint Anna Ayslum. The
celebrated master and composer, Herr Schachner, is to
direct in person the performance, which, as wo hear, is to
be executed on a scale of magnitude unprecedented in the
case of a performance got up by a private individual.
Herr Schachner has arrived in London from Vienna, and
will return thither early in April, in time to make the
definite arrangementawith the respective vocal artists and
instrumentalists.

DAGENHAM THAMES DOCK.

It appears that arrangements have been made by
the directors of this company whereby, within six
months from the commencement of the works, ves-
sels will be enabled to unload on the quay of the
docks, in connection with the London and Tilbury
Railway, from which goods, coal, guano, &c., can
be conveyed to any part of the kingdom. Shipbuild-
ing yards and engineering establishments are in-
tended to be commenced on the company's land by
an independent company.

Mysterious Case of Poisoning.

The little village of Emborough, which lies between Bath
and Wells, has been the scene of an inquiry of a very re-
markable nature.

It appeared from the evidence at the inquiry before Dr.
Wybrant, coroner for East Somerset, and which was seve-
ral times adjourned, that the deceased was Wm. Coles, the
son of Charles Cole; respectable farmer at Emborough,
aged seven months. The first witness called was Hannah
Gulleford Coles, the mother, who said that about a month
previous to the Bth ult, he bought a packet of soothing
powders, one of which she gave to the deceased, and it
seemed to do him good. On the evening of Fob. 8, between
9 and 10 o'clock, she gave the child another of the powders
from the same packet. Before the spoon from which he
took it was taken from his mouth, he coughed, and made
a noise in his throat ; his tongue began to swell and get
white, and ho died in ten minutes.

The father, Mr. Charles Cole, was also examined, and
stated that he kept poisons, including mercury, for farm-
ing purposes, but they were always securely locked up.
The medical evidence showed that death had resulted from
the administration of some corrosive mineral poison, and
that on testing one of the remaining powders a small portion
of bichloride of mercury was found in it, but not in the
others. Another witness proved fetching the powder given
to the child from a cupboard, but which was not locked, and
anybody could have access to it. Other evidence was given
as to the mode of the preparation of the powders, which
were a patent medicine, which showed that they were
quite innocuous in their composition, and that mercury
could not have been introduced in the process of com-
pounding. Ultimately the jury returned a verdict that
deceased had died from the effect of poison substituted for
the powder by some person or persons unknown.

THE CONSTABLESIIIP OF TIIE TOWER.—The
Constableship of the Tower, vacant by the death of
Lord Conabermere, will either not be filled, or will be con-
stituted an honorary office. The salary, £947 a year, will
resolve itself into nine good service pensions of £lOO a year
each, which will be shortly distributed among the senior
officers of the army as rewards for distinguished or meri-
torious services. The post of deputy lieutenant, held by
Lord De Roe, falls within the same category of sinecure
offices, to be abolished as vacancies occur ; and had the
authorities made his resignation of it a condition precedent
to his appointment as colonel of the 4th Hussars, seven
more of these rewards would have become available for
the old and distinguished officers who are not yet in the
way of obtaining regiments.--47n and Arm Gazette.

WOOL.

The first series of public sales of colonial wool for the
current year were commenced on Thursday last. The
arrivals are large, and greatly in excess of last year, viz.,

74,100 bales, against 50,000 bales in 1863-4. The receipts
from Port Philip are very large, viz., 32,058 bales, against
10,780 in 1863-4. From Sydney and Queensland the im-
port is 10,963; Adelaide, 10,041; Swan River, 53; Van
Diemen's Land, 531; New Zealand, 371 ; and the Cape,
19,320. Up to the present time the attendance of home and
foreign buyers has been good; nevertheless, there has been
a want of activity in the biddings, but the leading change
in prices, as compared with the close.of last series, is con-
fined to Port Philip produce, which—owing to the large
quantity to be brought forward—changed hands at a decline
in value of id to ld per lb. In other descriptions of wool
no quotable change took place. Privately, the English
wool trade is still devoid of activity, and the small amount
of business doing is at fully the late decline in prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts on offer here
to-day. A portion of it was derived from Belgium, Hun-
gary, Switzerland, Holstein, and Normandy. Some of the
French beasts wore in prime condition, and disposed of at
high rates. The show of foreign sheep and calves was
only moderate.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were by no means extensive, and the quality of
most breeds was only middling. From Scotland the re-
ceipts were remarkably good. The show from Ireland was
inferior. The beef trade was somewhat heavy, at a decline
in the quotations, compared with Monday last of 2d per
81bs. A few very inferior Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d ;
but the general top figure did not exceed 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,900 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland 260 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland 110 oxen and heifers.
The supply of English sheep was on the increase. About
a moiety of it was out of the wool. Good and prime
Downs and half breds moved off freely, at very full prices
—the top quotations being 6s 4d to 6s 6d per 81b. Other-
wise the mutton trade was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less
money. Clipped Downs realised 5s 2d to 5s 4d, and
clipped Lincolns, 4s 8d to 5s per 81bs.

Lambs were in fair average supply, and sluggish request,
at from 6s to 6s 8d per 81bs.
Calves moved off slowly, at late rates, viz., from 4s 6d to
5s 8d per Blbs.
The demand for pigs was steady, at full currencies.

Senor Hidalgo, the Mexican Ambassador, has
conferred upon the Emperor and Prince Imperial
the collar of the new Order of the Mexican Eagle.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes a long
report from M. Duruy, Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, recommending gratuitous and obligatory pri-
mary instruction. M. Duruy adds, however, "As
his Majesty wishes to leave the education of the
country to popular initiation the right of voting,
the execution of the law might be left to the Muni-
cipal Councils, promising, however, the assistance
of the State to those communes accepting the reform,
but whose resources might be insufficient to carry
it out."

PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD.

Mr. RAIIID asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he
had any objection to lay upon the table copies of the plans
finally approved by the admiralty for the extension of
Portsmouth Dockyard ?

Lord C. PAGE said it was his intention to lay on the
table the copies alluded to, and place the same in the
library of the house for the inspection of hon. members.
CATTLE DISEASE PREVENTION.

Mr. LESLIE asked whether or not Government intended
to reintroduce the Cattle Diseases Prevention and Cattle,
&c., Importation Bill as amended by a select committee of
the house last session ?

Mr. BARING said it was not intended by Governmen
o introduce any such bill during the present session.

NATIVE ARTILLERY IN INDIA.
In answer to Mr. VANSITTART,
Sir C. WOOD said that considerable misapprehension
prevailed on this subject. It had been considered advis-
able to retain a large number of the natives in India
in the artillery, and that no danger was to be
apprehended from the disproportion between the native
and European troops. The right hon. baronet then quoted
some statistics to show that it was necessary to increase,
not to reduce the number of natives employed in India,
whether in regard to the military or police force.
ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS.

On the motion for going into supply,
Mr. BENTINCK proposed his motion on this subject
Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion.

Mr. GIBSON stated that he did not think it would be
advisable for Government to take the entire management
of railway affairs.
After some further discussion the motion was with-
drawn.

►SINGULAit CHARGE OF ROBBING AGAINST A RESPECTABLE
MARRIED WOMAN.—Elizabeth Beach, a middle-aged wo-
man of very respectable appearance, was placed at the bar
charged with stealing a table-cover.
William Chase, shop-boy to Mr. Miles, pawnbroker, said
that between nine and ten on Saturday evening he saw
the prisoner take the table-cover from their door and walk
away with it. He followed and tapped her on the shoulder,
when she gave him up the table-cover, which was worth
9s. She immediately said she picked it up.
Prisoner—l declare I did so. I was passing a shoe-
maker's next door to this pawnbroker's when I saw this
table-cover rolled up as it is now on the ground. I took it
up and placed it under my arm, great part of it being then
exposed, so that anybody it belonged to might own it.
This man tapped me on the shoulder, and on his saying
the table-cover was his, I gave it to him.
Mr. Selfe—Was the table-cover hanging up ?
Witness—No, it was hung on a board at our door.
Mr. Selfe—Was it fastened in any way ?
Witness—No, it was not ; it was lying with other goods
of a miscellaneous description.
Mr. Selfe--,ls there anything known of the prisoner ?
The Police—She is a very respectable married woman.

Mr. W. Boltori, from 2, Wallow-street, Brompton, stepped
forward and said, "She is a very honest, upright woman,
incapable of committing a felony. I have known her a
length of time. She is a married woman, with three young
children."

The report of the directors states that the total
expenditure on the line between Plymouth and
Truro during the half-year had been £3,357, and
between Truro and Falmouth £11,704, which in-
cluded the final settlement with the contractors,
Messrs. R. Sharpe and Sons and Messrs. Oliver and
Sons. The total amount received on revenue ac-
count during the past half-year was £47,072, as
compared with £40,716 in the corresponding half of
1863, but the line was open from Truro to Falmouth
during a portion only of the latter period. The
charge for interest was £7,876 more than for the cor-
responding half of 1863, being the interest on the
capital expended on the line from Truro to Falmouth.
The Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway was far ad-
vanced towards completion, and the Burngullow and
Newquay Railway was being proceeded with. The
capital account to 31st of December last showed that
£1,813,361 had been expended. The revenue ac-
count for the half-year showed that £47,072 had
been received, and £26,387 expended, leaving a
balance of £20,684 to meet the interest account of
129,113, showing a deficiency of £8,429, which,
account to £45,268, the former deficiencies, made a
total of £53,697 paid by the associated companies
to the 31st of December last.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.--Alfred Hatton,
of the Old King's Head, Bear-street, Leicester-square, was
called upon to answer the complaint of the police for per-
mitting drunk and disorderly conduct in. his house. The
defendant did not appear, and the case was heard ex parte.

Godwin, 206 0, proved that on the 18th ult. he went to
the defendant's house at a quarter to four o'clock, and
saw 12 men in front of the bar, most of them drunk and
fighting with their fists and sticks, and a person drunk
behind the bar and acting as landlord. Two men wore
stripped to their shirts to fight, and their shirts wero
nearly torn off.

Sergeant Bason, 12 C, said that on being spoken to by
the last witness he went into the parlour. and saw several
men drunk. He visited the house at a later hour and then
saw several men there drunk, and making a great noise,
singing; shouting, and stamping.
The defendant was fined £5 and costs.

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention
had been called to a provisional order of the Enclosure
Commissioners for the apportionment of Fulmer-common,
within twenty miles of London and four miles of the
towns of Slough and Uxbridge, and whether he would
undertake that all further action should be stayed in the
matter until the report of the Committee on Common
Spaces had been presented to the house ?
Mr. F. PEEL said that the matter had not yet been
decided on.
London, England, 1865-03-06

Board if he intended to bring in a bill this session to carry
out the recommendations of the Poor Laws Committee

of the necessity that existed for the introduction of a bill
on this subject, and were prepared to bring it before Par-
liament this session.
THE LIC ENS ING LAWS.
Mr. LAWSON asked the Home Secretary whether, the

any private bill, he now intended to introduce any public
or general measure for remedying the evils inflicted on

Sir G. G. GREY said that after the discussion whfch
had taken place on this subject, the Governmenf did not

PARIS, MARCH 6.

The Chevalier di Nigra has delivered to the
Emperor a diploma of membership of the Academy
of Political Economy at Milan.
Senor Hidalgo, the Mexican Ambassador, has
conferred upon the Emperor and Prince Imperial
the collar of the new Order of the Mexican Eagle.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes a long
report from M. Duruy, Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, recommending gratuitous and obligatory pri-
mary instruction. M. Duruy adds, however, "As
his Majesty wishes to leave the education of the
country to popular initiation the right of voting,

the execution of the law might be left to the Muni-
cipal Councils, promising, however, the assistance
of the State to those communes accepting the reform,
but whose resources might be insufficient to carry
it out."

Adeiphi Theatre•

The Love Chase," by Sheridan Knowles, was
revived at this theatre on Saturday night, with a
cast that is likely to make it highly attractive.
First and foremost Mr. Webster resumed his
original character of Wildrake, a part he performed
some 25 years since, when he first produced the
play at the Haymarket. Of the original performers
of the principal parts, it is sad to say he is the only
survivor. The " Widow Green" was for the first
time enacted by Mrs. Stirling, and notwithstanding
the lively recollection of Mrs. Glover, who created
the part, it was universally pronounced to be a
most capital personation. The self-delusion, the
feminine clinging to the idea of still being fascinat-
ing, the inordinate love of admiration, and all the
vain tricasseries exercised by the passé widow to
ensnare the young man, were admirably displayed,
to the exceeding enjoyment of the audience.

Miss Henrietta Simms played the inimitable
Constance, and in a manner that would have taken
the audience by surprise had they not already been
prepared for her vivacity and charming spirits by
her peformance of Helen. This young lady has
broken ground in a new line of character so success-
fully that we trust she may continue to pursue it, to
her own and the public advantage. Mr. Stephenson
played Sir William, the vivacious old lover, with
much humour ; and Mr. Billington and Mr. Ashley
thoroughly filled the parts of Waller and True-
worth. A Miss Young made her first appearance
as Lydia, and was deservedly welcomed and ap-
proved. Altogether the cast was excellent, and a
crowded house were enthusiastic in their admira-

ion. The " Love Chase" is to be repeated three
Ames a-week, alternating with the "Hunchback,"
n which Miss Bateman plays Julia.

ASILEY'S THEATRE.

Considerable excitement was visible at Astley's
Theatre on Saturday night, caused by the produc-
tion of a new and original drama in three acts, en-
titled " The Mariner's Compass." The house was
crowded from floor to ceiling, and many failed to
gain admittance. It will be recollected that when
the Surrey Theatre was destroyed by fire all
the properties and scenery belonging to the new
drama about to be produced were lost. The
plot of the " Mariner's Compass" is highly dra-
matic. We have a lass beloved by a couple of sea-
men, a storm at sea, the rescue of the drowning
crew, and various other incidents, all of which are
very vividly portrayed. The drama has been placed
on the stage with the greatest liberality and com-
pleteness ; the scenery is charming throughout, and
the .clever management of the rocket apparatus in
the prologue was highly appreciated. On Mr. Basil
Potter, Mr. Fernandez, and Miss Josephine Fiddes,
the weight of the drama depended, and they sus-
tained it well from beginning to end. The drama
contains some very talented dialogue, and is well
written. A long and successful run may be
prognosticated.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about I per millepm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling• On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-16ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.7 a per £1 stcrlin.9.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, nearly
2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The oouree of exchange at New York on London for bills st
80 days' sight is 109$ per cent. At these rates there is no
profit on the importailon of go'd from the United States.

have been suffering severely from sickness, and in
one district three-fourths are said to be in hospital.
Mean While the Bhooteans profess their willingness
to treat, and seek to beguile the British authorities

is now at hand. Let our Government then bring
the matter to a crisis without delay ; insisting on
immediate submission, or extorting it, without
prolonging a useless and costly system of sur-

ABERDEENSHIRE.

A central committee meets weekly in Aberdeen,
when reports by skilled inspectors and veterinary
surgeons are presented and discussed. The dairies
and killing shops about town are regularly visited,
and whenever intimation is given that anything like
the rinderpest has made its appearance, steps are at
once taken to destroy the animals affected, or to keep
them from coming into contact with others. Nearly
100 animals have died in Aberdeenshire within the
past six weeks. The district country cattle-markets
have dwindled down to almost nothing, the breeders
and farmers being fearful of approaching them with
beasts, in case of infection. In fairs and stances,
where usually 300 to 400 head of stock are shown
and sold weekly, not a couple of dozen are at pre-
sent to be found. The consequence is that butchers
have to procure supplies by private bargains from
persons known to possess sound beasts ; but as these
persons for the most part demand long prices, busi-
ness is very difficult and stiff. Naturally, therefore,
the retail price of all kinds of butcher's meat is rising
