AS TLEY'S.

Last evening one of the best spectacular dramas
that has been represented here for a considerable
length of time, was produced, and met with the
most triumphant, success. It is entitled "Alice
Wingold, the Pearl of London City." The scene
is laid in London during the year 1665, that ter-
rible period of plague and pestilence, and the
principal incidents arise out of the coerced marriage
of the Sheriff of London's daughter, the ever charm-
ing Alice Wingold, to Sir Philip Rashley, a
libertine, despite her affectionate attachment for
Walter Markham. Love, jealousy, murder, rapine,
elry, nd plunder permeate almost every phase of
the spectacle ; but they are worked up with won-
derful dramatic effect. Some of the scenery and
tableaux deserve special mention. " The Water
Pageant," with the sheriffs' State barge and the
scene at the Chequers, " The Tomb of Alice Win-
gold," and " The City in Flames," were remark-
ably well arranged. With the accessories of splen-
did costumes, appropriate dresses, and equestrian
evolutions, the last-named tableau received quite an
ovation in the way of applause. There is also some
charming ballet-dancing introduced, and those clever
little artistes, the Misses Helen and Emma Gunnis,
performed their pas to perfection. The character
of Alice Wingold was cleverly sustained by Miss
Julia Seaman, who made her first appearance.
Mr. Frank Huntly, who also appeared for the
first time, played the part of Walter Markham.
with genuine feeling and good taste. Mr. Searle,
as Gabriel the Gipsey, was exceedingly effective.
We have to congratulate Mr.
_Batty upon the
success of this his latest and best production.
He has produced a " sensation " scene of a per-
fectly novel description, and one that must at-
tract the whole of the play-going public to the
Royal Amphitheatre, for certainly nothing has
yet been produced to equal, in reality, his repre-
sentation of " The Fire of London."
The spectacle is to be represented every even-
ing until further notice.

STRAND.

A new farce, entitled "Keep your Temper," was
produced at this house last night, and was received
with favour. The idea on which this piece, which
is from the pen of Mr. J. P. Wooler, is founded is
sufficiently extravagant for the most uproarious
farce. A certain Mr. Archer, a wild, eccentric law-
student, makes a morning call upon his friends the
Browns, and finds that a furious quarrel all about
nothing has sprung up between a man and his
wife. He remonstrates with them upon the un-
reasonableness of losing their temper without
adequate cause, and, finding that they pay but
little attention to his philosophic precepts, he
determines to surround them with actual
troubles, in the hope that, when they feel the
sting of real sorrow, they may perceive the folly of
sacrificing their happiness to imaginary grievances.
His scandalous reports have the effect of destroying
the peace of the household. Every one feels
wretched, and in the extremity of his misery is
ready to fly at the throat of everybody else. When
the confusion is at its worst, the author of the mis-
chief coolly steps in, explains the cause of the tur-
moil, admits that he is himself at the bottom of all
the disturbance, and, after lecturing the Browns
upon the absurdity of losing their temper on tri-
vial occasions, concludes by soliciting the hand of
the lady who was to have run off with an imaginary
letter-carrier, a boon which is of course conceded
without a moment's hesitation. Mr, W. H. S Aran-
borough plays the part of the Mischief-maker with
great spirit, and Mr. J. W. Rae, as a credulous old
countryman, who swallows the most indigestible
stories, acts with that quiet humour which so
much distinguishes his performances. The house
was well attended.

ROME.

A letter from Rome of the 30th ult., in the
Gazette du Midi, says :
"Accounts received yesterday evening bring
excellent news on the health of the Sovereign
Pontiff. His Holiness has derived much benefit
from his retirement at Porto d'Anzio. It appears
that the difficulties which had arisen on the occasion
of the re-establishment of the apostolic nunciature
at St. Petersburg have been removed, as Mgr.
Berardi, the new Nuncio, is to leave Rome for his
post during the first fortnight of May. His Excel.
leney will pass through Prance on his way. It is
thought that the bishops who will be present at the
canonisation on the Bth June, will be upwards of
500 in number. France will be represented, it is
said, by at least 60 members of her episcopacy.
The prelate, in whose diocese St. Petersburg is
situated, is, it is said, already on his way to Rome

with three of the principal dignitaries of his clergy.
The trial of the capitular vicar of Bologna will
shortly come before the assizes of that town ; the
list of the jury called to decide on the guilt of that
prelate has been published ; it is composed princi-
pally of workmen of the town, and among them a
shoemaker and a mason, the only person of a liberal
profession who figures in it being an advocate—a
very fit jury truly to judge if a Latin ordonnance
of ecclesiastical discipline is conformable or contrary
to the new laws of the country 1"

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.

After a tour in the provinces, which report speaks
of as eminently successful, Mr. Mark Lemon has
resumed his clever and interesting lectures on
London, at this Gallery, in the day time. He has
made some additions and alterations which
certainly aid the general effect, and brought the
whole into so condensed a space that the readings
occupy less time. The pictorialportion now works
admirably; and altogether this entertainment will
take a prominent place amongst the exhibitions
offered to our foreign and provincial visitors.
Many would doubtless be attracted by the mere
opportunity of seeing and hearing the editor of the
world-renowned comic publication ; but quite
independent of this gratification of their curiosity,
they will find the lectures extremely interesting
and worth aettnding.

A farmer in the neighbourhood of Douai (Nord)
possesses an extraordinary phenomenon in natural history,
namely, a fowl which has four legs, placed like those of a
quadruped. It walks with difficulty, and other fowls drive
it away, and refuse to associate with it.

MID SUSSEX AN D MIDIIURST JUN CTION RAILWAY.

way, to sell or lease their undertaking to the London,
Brighton, and South London Railway Company—Mr. J.
Cary in the chair. A resolution in accordance with the
terms of the advertisement was proposed and agreed to, the
chairman stating that all the earthworks on the line (which
was within seven miles in length) were completed, and the I
only thing that remained to be done was the making of the
tunnel near Midhurst. The contractors, however, would
take advantage of the present fine weather, in order that
the directors might be enabled to hand the line over to the
management of the London and Brighton Company with all
fossiblo despatch.

GROSS CRUELTY TO A CHILD.

On Friday evening an inquest was held at the
Commercial Inn, Barnsley, on the body of a boy,
named John Wm. Lincoln, aged four years. In con-
sequence of• its having been stated that the child
had been inhumanly treated by its stepmother, great
excitement prevailed in the locality. It appeared
the father of the boy had been married twice, his
first wife having died rather less than four months
ago, and six weeks after ho married his present wife.
Mr. Blackburn, surgeon, said on Wednesday
morning last he was called in to see deceased, who
was then in a comatose state. He found his skull
was fractured, both thighs were broken, the left
having evidently been done some time; there were
also bruises on the forehead, arms, back, and one
ear. Death had arisen from the fracture of the skull
and the effusion of blood on the brain.

Several neighbours said the child and two others
were badly treated, and that on Wednesday morn-
ing the stepmother ran out of the house, and took
the child in her arms, crying out that its elder
brother had let it fall down stairs. It died a few
hours after.
Ann Matthewman, who resided next door to the
Lincolns, said that on Saturday last she was at Mrs.
Lincoln's, who complained of the dirty habits of the
child. She laid it across her knee and gave it a
violent stroke on the small of the back, and then
threw it on the stone floor, the back part of the head
going down with groat force. The child never
screamed, hut lay with its eyes open where it fell.
Mr. Blackburn said that it frequently happened
that after the fracture of the skull the person so in-
jured lived for days and even weeks.
The jury, after half an hour's consultation, unani-
mously agreed to a verdict of manslaughter against
Mary Anne Linzoln ; and the coroner made out a
warrant for her committal to York, to take her
trial at the next assizes. The accused is about 22
years of age.--Manchester Evoniner.

P RIS, MAY 6.

The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article signed
by M. de Limayrac, says :
" We do not know whether M. de Mercier has
been charged with a mission to Richmond, but we
hope that he will give utterance, both at Washing-
ton and Richmond, to words of conciliation and
and peace."

BRUSSELS, MAY 6,
The Moniteur Beige of to-day contains the fol-
lowing :

" The King underwent a fresh operation on Sun-
day last, which afforded him some relief.
" Yesterday evening the state of his Majesty's
health was less satisfactory."
In addition to the above official statement, it is
known that the King has been suffering so severely
since the end of last week that his son, the Count
of Flanders, has not been allowed to see him.

On Friday and Saturday last the sufferings of
the august patient were somewhat alleviated.

His Majesty is not aware of the gravity of his
state, precautionary measures having been taken to
conceal it from him in order to avoid exciting his

apprehension.

GROSS CRUELTY TO A CHILD.

On Friday evening an inquest was held at the
Commercial Inn, Barnsley, on the body of a boy,
named John Wm. Lincoln, aged four years. In con-
sequence of its having been stated that the child
had been inhumanly treated by its stepmother, great
excitement prevailed in the locality. It appeared
the father of the boy had been married twice, his
first wife having died rather less than four m3nths
ago, and six weeks after he married his present wife.
Mr. Blackburn, surgeon, said on Wednesday
morning last he was called in to see deceased, who
was then in a comatose state. He found his skull
was fractured, both thighs were broken, the left
having evidently been done some time; there were
also bruises on the forehead, arms, back, and one
ear. Death had arisen from the fracture of the skull
and the effusion of blood on the brain.

Several neighbours said the child and two others
were badly treated, and that on Wednesday morn-
ing the stepmother ran out of the house, and took
the child in her arms, crying out that its elder
brother had let it fall down stairs. It died a few
hours after. _ _

Ann Mattliewman, who resided next door to the
Lincolns, said that on Saturday last she was at Mrs.
Lincoln's, who complained of the dirty habits of the
child. She laid it across her knee and gave it a
violent stroke on the small of the back, and then
threw it on the stone floor, the back part of the head
going down with great force. The child never
screamed, but lay with its eyes open where it fell.
Mr. Blackburn said that it frequently happened
that after the fracture of the skull the person so in-
jured lived for days and even weeks.
The jury, after half an hour's consultation, unani-
mously agreed to a verdict of manslaughter against
Mary Anne Lincoln; and the coroner made out a
warrant for her committal to York, to take her
trial at the next assizes. The accused is about 22
years of age.—Manchester Examiner.

The whole of her copper and a great deal of her
planking have been stripped off, in order that her
defective and decayed timbers may be removed.
With the view of strengthening her new keys have
been placed beneath each of her beams, and new

arrangements she will be masted and rigged in the
dock in which she at present lies, a pair of
shears being erected by the side of the dock
to enable the operation of masting to be performed.
The repairs to be effected will occupy three months,
but every exertion is to be used to have the Racoon
ready for sea by the end of July, when she will be
commissioned by Capt. his Serene Highness the
Prince of Leiningen for a short cruise to the Medi-

PHILHARMONIC SOCIE2 V.

The fourth concert of the season took place last
evening at the Hanover-touare Rooms. Madlle.
Titiens Sang Meyerker's aria, " Vanne, vanne,"
magnificently, and, at its termination the great com-
poser, who ,lade one of the audience, was unani-
mously called for, and enthusiastically cheered on
rising to respond to the complement. The grand
adagia and fugue in I) of Mozart, finely performed,
was duly appreciated, as was likewise the admi-
rable execution of Hummeli's concerto in B minor
by Herr Pauer. Mr. H. C. Cooper, in Mendelssohn's
concerto, proved that his genuine talent, which
many years ago created for him a reputation such as
few English violinists have achieved, has suffered no
deterioration during his long sojourn in the United
States, whence he has just returned. Beethoven's
symphony in C, No. 1, like all the other great or-
chestral works, was done ample justice to under the
masterly direction of Professor Bennett, who, owing
to causes too well known to need explanation here,
received a perfectly overwhelming ovation on enter-
ing the orchestra.

THE PROPOSED NEW STREET TO THE MANSION HOUSE

A conversation arose, on a report of the improve-
ment committee relative to a correspondence be-
tween Mr. Cowper, the Chief Commissioner of
Works, and Mr.. Thwaites, the chairman of the
Metropolitan Board, on the subject of the proposed
Thames embankment and new street to the Man-
sion-house.

Mr. DEPUTY FRY, the chairman of the commit-
tee, explained that Mr. Cowper, at an interview,
had stated that the new street in question, which,
by the way, is estimated to cost some £600,000, was
a component part of the embankment project, and
would, like the embankment, be constructed under
the supervision of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
unless indeed the eorporaticn of London undertook

to bear the Cost of the new street, in which case the
corporation might themselves construct it without
the intervention of the Metropolitan Board. Mr.
Fry said it was matter for regret that the corpora-
tion for the first time were to be precluded from
making a great public improvement witnia their
own jurisdiction, but as they were not prepared to
accept the alternative of paying the cost of it out of
their own funds, they would be obliged to submit
to the proposed arrangement.
Mr. DE JERSEY recalled the time when the-Com-
mon Council were entrusted with tho expenditure
of about 1,000,000 in the erection of Loudon-bridge,
and in the making of King William and Princes
streets, and he thought they might well have been
' charged with the construction at the public cost of
the proposed new thoroughfare to the Mansion-
, house.

Alderman BESLEY deprecated the interference of
the Metropolitan Board in works of public im-
provement in the City, and condemned the proposed
arrangement as the introduction by them of the thin
end of the wedge.
The further consideration of the subject was at
length adjourned, and the court rose.

THAMES, THIS DAY.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Edward J. Richetts,
a well-dressed man, described as a tailor, and 20 years of
age, of No. 1, St. Andrew's-terrace, Limehouse, was
brought up on zemand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with
committing a very daring highway robbery.
The prisoner is a determined-looking man, and looks
three or four years older than what he represented himself
to be, and, from his appearance, is strongly suspected to have
recently been a convict. An attempt was made to show

that he was labouring under insanity, at which the pri-
soner himself expressed some surprise, but the "friend"
who set up this plea took nothing by his motion, for he was
informed that a jury, acting on the advice and direction of
a learned judge must decide the question of whether he was
sane or not, and that if he had committed a highway
robbery in a state of insanity, and it was so proved by the
jury, he would be detained in a lunatic asylum for the res
of kis life.

Mr. Edward Humphreys, a book-keeper, of No. 2 Fair-
field-place, Stepney, stated that in the morning of the 22d
of April, about half-post one o'clock, he was passing along
the Whitechap 1-road, when the prisoner started out of a
narrow court, near the Earl of Effingham Theatre, and
without saying a word struck him a violent blow on the
-month with his fist, and took his pin out of his scarf. At
the time he received the blow his cigar-holder fell from his
mouth. He followed the prisoner, who struck him again
and knocked him down. He called for the police, and the
prisoner was given into custody.

Mr. Albert James, a photographic artist, of No. 33,
Dempsey-street, Stepney, stated that he was with the last
witness when the prisoner came out of the court and struck
him and then ran into the court again.
Police-constable Lawrence J. Mandus stated that the
prisoner was given into his custody, and he found the pro-
secutor's scarf pin upon him. The prisoner had previously
denied having possession of the pin, and when arrested,
threw himself on the ground, kicked at every one within his
reach, and resisted with great violence. After the prisoner
was secured, he offered witness ss. as a bribe to release
him, and said, " Take the money and let me run away."
When this offer was made he held him very tightly indeed.
The prisoner said he would reserve his defence, and Mr
Woolrych committed him to Newgate for trial.
