cions means of securing holiday enjoyment for
the multitude. Various methods are sug-
gested, but as a matter of course none
is definitely fixed upon, and the scene ulti-
mately changes to the " Deep, deep sea," in which
are introduced processions of fishes, and certain
grotesque effects from the popular Parisian drama
"La Biche aux Bois." Next is seen " Queen Corala's
Cryptogamic Home," in which a dance, arranged by
the veteran Oscar Byrne, is executed by a troop of
submarine bipeds, clad in a species of scale armour,
and exhibiting abundant proofi that they have often
displayed their terpsichorean abilities on terra firma
in a costume more immediately belonging to the
female portion of the human kind. This is one of
the most effective scenes in the entertainment, and
is not the less so by reason of the fact that it some-
what resembles a representation of the Kingdom of
Fishes in the new pantomime at Astley's. After
this comes a succession of tableaux representing
Simple Simon's cottage (in which begins the real
story of the pantomime) and Dame Day's home-
stead (in which many characters are introduced in
the genuine spirit of pantomimical incongruity, but
always with a due regard to the mirthful require-
ments of the moment. In one of these scenes Tom
the Piper's son (Miss Esther Jacobs) makes his ap-
pearance, and commits the felonious act of stealing
a pig, for which nursery rhymes have long rendered
his name celebrated ; and although it is not very
distinctly shown what connexion is supposed to
exist between King Chess and Dame Daw and
Simple Simon, that magnanimous monarch makes
his appearance at this momentous juncture, the
scene being changed to his palace in the Kingdom
of Games. Next we have the " Pool of Libellula,
the Haunt of the Dragon Fly," which is a magnifi-
cent scenic display by Mr. Gates, and which forms
the grand "transformation." Notwithstanding some
few imperfections inseparable from the circum-
stances under which the piece was produced, the
whole of the brilliant effect was admirably managed,
and Mr. Shepherd may be congratulated upon hav-
ing succeeded in blending together the arts of the
scene-painter and the decorator in the most
harmonious concord. The loudest applause at-
tended the gradual development of this
really dazzling picture, and at its completion
Mr. Gates was called forward to receive the re-
ward due to him. The whole performance appeared
to augur well for the future management and
prospects of this friendly inaugurated undertaking.

COVENT GARDEN.

Although English opera, we regret to learn, can-
not always fill Covent Garden, English pantomime
never fails to do so. Indeed, as applied to the audi-
ence last night, " fill" is not exactly the word to de-
scribe the operation—" cram" would be better suited,
if so very humble a word may be allowed to apply
to so refined a place as the home of English opera.
Crammed the house was ; and we have less hesita-
tion in using the colloquialism, because,on and after
Boxing night the stalls--the usual ruling powers—
are dethroned by the pit and gallery. The regular
habitues surrender their exclusive sway, and a bois-
terous, but by no means revolutionary mob reigns,
the result being not quite so much classical music
perhaps, but a good deal more genuine enjoyment.
We are bound to admit, by the way, that although
Meyerbeer is supposed to be the only style of music
familiar to the stalls, a great many airs occurring in
the overture to the pantomime, while rapturously
hailed by the gods, did not appear to pass altogether
unrecognised by tha fashionable part of the audience
—in fact, " Wasn't that a pull back ?" seems to
have made its way to the drawing-room.
The performances commenced with the new one
act opera, " Christmas Eve," the music of which
was not rendered more than usually intelligible by
the noises and commentaries of a Boxing-night
audience. For the pantomime opening Mr. E. L.
Blanchard has selected the story of Aladdin—a story
so popular that we need not repeat it, the more
specially asMr. Blanchard has adhered pretty closely
to the old legend. The principal character, Aladdin,
is sustained with great vivacity byMiss Rachel Sanger.
A more charming young rake than she makes it
would not be easy to imagine, and the affection of
the widow for the scapegrace is quite intelligible.
The part of that worthy woman, relict of the de-
ceased Mustapha, is most admirably acted by Mr.
Charles Steyne, whose grotesque embodiment of the

STRAND.

We have recently admired, in common with the
judicious portion of the public, the rebuilt interior
of this pleasant little theatre. The performances,
too. have received our attention. They have not
called for change ; so that " Nothing 'Venture
Nothing Win," the burlesque " L'Africaine," and
" Mrs. Green's Snug Business" are business enough
for this delightful little resort, which does not at-
tempt the stupendous, the gorgeous, or the over-
whelming.

The English sovereign is current in India under

its own name, owing to the strange coincidence that 800-
baran, the original meaning of which is "fine colour," also
signifies gold ; and as the conversion of a b into a vis very
frequent the Indian has adopted the English word with
the greatest ease.
THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON THE ORGANIC
WORLD.—We find in " L'Espace Celeste et la
Nature Tropicale," by M. Emmanuel Liais, well known as
one of the most distinguished travellers and astronomers of
the present day, a highly interesting disquisition on the
effects of climate on the organic world. The authors
opinion, founded as it is on his own personal observation
during a long stay under the tropics exclusively devoted to
scientific pursuits, appears worthy of peculiar considera-
tions. The great diversity of vegetable and animal produc-
tions on our globe according to climate undoubtedly shows
that the latter element exercises some influence on them,
but this influence, according to M. Liais, is only indirect.
Certain beings, it is true, can only live in certain climates,
and if transported to another will die ; but, on the other
hand, those that caa bear emigration constantly retain
their generic and specific characteristics, whseuneeptitditsbtaot
be inferred that even before moving naturetheirbuptiuse
is
nowwas
difference such as to permit of their being acclimatised else-
where. In
of Inthooelocausr peorfoooomadne,
ditfrwoasm foolimrmeaterl,y
proved that under the equator the European still preserves
the characteristics of his race ; while the black, whether
transported to America or Europe, still remains as black as
before. M. Liais denies that domestic animals ever re-
turned to a supposed primitive wild type, for he has seen
in the campos of Brazil oxen and horses as diversified as
our domesticated breeds, and which, nevertheless, can
only be caught by the lasso. Animals of different colours
hail different degrees of strength. Tho parasites that de-
str4 so many horses and oxen lo America do not attack
all 'colonies and all varieties with equal violence. Anti
yet no variety or lireed seems to have for all that pre-
dominated over the other, and therefore, led to an unifor-
mity. Aior dO epidemics attack all races alike. In 1850, at
Rio de Janeiro,yellow fever raged simultaneously with cho
lets, but the former only attacked the whites, while the
latter almost exclusively fastened upon the blacks. It ha
often been said that in tropical regions sheep lost thei
fleece, which was replaced by hair. M. Liais denies this
stating that it is their wool which prevents their spread
ing all over the country, because certain troublesome para
sites abound, for instance in the Brazilian campos. Thee
parasites get into the thick wool of the poor creatures, an
torture thew so that they at last decline in laealth.—

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 27, 1865.

-+-

Christmas-day in the workhouses is a very sug-
gestive theme, and one that may appropriately
engage attention at this juncture, more especially
as considerable changes have taken place in those
institutions ; and it is desirable to see how they
have worked, and how far they have conduced to
the benefit of those for whom they were designed.
No really important alteration can be made, unless
we carefully examine the course of events, and
watch the effects produced by this or that innova-
tion. At any rate, it is satisfactory to find that
Christmas was made the season of some change
for the better, in the daily lives of monotony
and the wearying exposition of thrift which
characterises the management of unions. Ample
provision of a suitable kind appears to have been
made in all the workhouses, so that the inmates for
once enjoyed themselves the same as their happier
brethren who were able to live outside the dreary
walls. One day in the year, however, is not to be
regarded otherwise than in an exceptional light, and
when we have duly dwelt on thevarious details which
tell of the festivities, we pass on naturally to more
serious subjects. In the first place, it must strike
the uninitiated with sorrowful surprise to notice the
immense number of those who find a shelter within
the Unions about the metropolis. It is a wretched
reflection to make that hundreds around us, now in
prime of life, and filling situations of respectability,
when they discharge their duties with zeal and ability,
will have no resource but the workhouse when
premature old age creeps upon them, or when sick-
ness disables them from further exertion. Doubtless,
in many cases, such a catastrophe cannot be avoided,
but too often the hard measure dealt out by their
employers may be considered the cause of their
breaking down before they had laid by sufficient
provision to protect them from the tender mercies
of the Union. Be the cause what it may, ratepayers
have no right to interfere against the inmates of
-workhouses as they do, when they would now find
out if they took the trouble co inquire that the great
bulk of them are incapacitated from further exertion,
and will know no ether home than the Union
until they are called upon to enter the common
home of our race.
Surely, then, it becomes a matter of moment as
to whether they receive the care and attention
which they ought ; and while criminals are treated
with every possible care, and which lately were
made the objects of absurd regard, it is indeed in-
consistent that those whose only fault is poverty,
and whose cause of idleness real helplessness, should
be denied everything that has smoothed their rugged
road, and even when threatened by sickness
should be compelled to go without requisite
care and cleanliness. It is said by some
that no one objects to the really neces-
bitousreceiTing proper appliances, but that incligna-

BOXING-DAY.—The streets of London presented
a more remarkable appearance yesterday than has perhaps
been known on any similar occasion, the day having been
almost universally kept as a holiday, especially in houses
engaged in the various branches of the drapery, millinery,
hosiery, &c., trades ; but seven or eight of the largest and
wealthiest west-end houses declined to grant this boon of
a day's holiday to their numerous assistants. In the
neighbourhoods of Knightsbridge, Notting-hill, Bays-
water, Whitechapel, Commercial-road, Shoreditch, New-
ington, and in all the densely populated districts, not a
shop was to be seen open.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.14 per sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-lOths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4} per ..C1 stcrlin
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, there:ore, at
about the same price in London and Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 119 per cent. At these rates there
is no profit on the importation of go d from the United

LYCEUM.

The performances here consisted of the grrnd
Spectacular drama " The Master of Ravenswood,"
founded on Sir Walter Scott's thrilling story of
" The Bride of Lammermoor." We noticed the
production of this drama at considerable length in
yesterday's impression, which precludes the neces-
sity for saying more than that Mr. Fechter was
most effective in The Master, and was well sup-
ported by Messrs. Herman Vezin, Emery, Jordan,
Miss Elsworthy, and Mrs. Ternan. " Tho Illus-
trious Stranger," with H. Widdicomb as the hero,
preceded the drama.

rism conveyed in its title in more senses than one.

LYCEUM.

The performances here consisted of the grrud
spectacular drama " The Master of Ravenswood,"
founded on Sir Walter Scott's thrilling story of
" The Bride of Lammermoor." We noticed the
production of this drama at considerable length in
yesterday's impression, which precludes the neces-
sity for saying more than that Mr. Fechter was
most effective in The Master, and was well sup-
ported by Messrs. Herman Vezin, Emery, Jordan,
Miss Elsworthy, and Mrs. Ternan. " The Illus-
trious Stranger," with IL Widdicomb as the hero,
preceded the drama.

ous means of securing holiday enjoyment for
the multitude. Various methods are sug-
gested, but as a matter of course none
la definitely fixed upon, and the scene ulti-
mately changes to the " Deep, deep sea," in which
are introduced processions of fishes, and certain
grotesque effects from the popular Parisian drama
"La Biche aux Bois." Next is seen " Queen Corala's
Cryptogamic Home," in which a dance, arranged by
the veteran Oscar Byrne, is executed by a troop of
submarine bipeds, clad in a species of scale armour,
and exhibiting abundant proofs that they have often
displayed their terpsichorean abilities on terra firma
in a costume more immediately belonging to the
female portion of the human kind. This is one of
the most effective scenes in the entertainment, and
is not the less so by reason of the fact that it some-
what resembles a representation of the Kingdom of
Fishes in the new pantomime at Astley's. After
this comes a succession of tableaux representing
Simple Simon's cottage (in which begins the real
story of the pantomime) and Dame Day's home-
stead (in which many characters are introduced in
the genuine spirit of pantomimical incongruity, but
always with a due regard to the mirthful require-
ments of the moment. In one of these scenes Tom
the Piper's son (Miss Esther Jacobs) makes his ap-
pearance, and commits the felonious act of stealing
a pig, for which nursery rhymes have long rendered
his name celebrated ; and although it is not very
distinctly shown what connexion is supposed to
exist between King Chess and Dame Daw and
Simple Simon, that magnanimous monarch makes
his appearance at this momentous juncture, the
scene being changed to his palace in the Kingdom
of Games. Next we have the " Pool of Libellula,
the Haunt of the Dragon Fly," which is a magnifi-
cent scenic display by Mr. Gates, and which forms
the grand " transformation." Notwithstanding some
few imperfections inseparable from the circum-
stances under which the piece was produced, the
whole of the brilliant effect was admirably managed,
and Mr. Shepherd may be congratulated upon hav-
ing succeeded in blending together the arts of the
scene-painter and the decorator in the most
harmonious concord. The loudest applause at-
tended the gradual development of this
really dazzling picture, and at its completion
Mr. Gates was called forward to receive the re-
ward due to him. The whole performance appeared
to augur well for the future management and
prospects of this friendly inaugurated undertaking.

THAMES.

OUTRAGE ON A WOMAN BY A SOLDIER AND HIS COM-
PANIONS.—Thomas Foster, aged 26, a private in the Grena-
dier Guards, stationed in the Wellington Barracks, Edwin
Chrisp, 23, and Jesse Klinch, 28, of 8, Lucas-street, St.
George-in-the-East, labourers, were brought before Mr.
Partridge, charged with assaulting Margaret Wood, a
young woman, of No. 38, Pekin-street, Poplar.

The complainant, her husband, and another couple, all
persons of respectability, and quiet demeanour, were just
coming out of Pekin-street into the East India Dock-road,
when the threo prisoners, who were very drunk and up-
roarious, and driving against everybody they met, came in
contact with the complainant and her party, and ran
against them violently. Mrs. Wood and her husband
said to them, " Mind where you are going."
They were assaulted with foul abuse, and
threats by the prisoners, and Foster struck Mrs. Wood a
cowardly blow with his fist on the mouth which caused
her to bleed profusely. The woman's husband attempted
to secure the soldier, and was prevented doing so by Chrisp
and Klinch, who pulled him away and challenged Mr.
Wood to light them. He declined doing so, the police
were called, a row and fight ensued, and Chrisp and Klinch
made an attempt to rescue Foster from the custody of the
police. They were defeated and lodged in the station
house.

A sergeant of the Grenadier Guards said that Foster was
a man of good character in the regiment to which ho be-
longed, and not a drunkard ; but he had been imprisoned
for one month for assaulting a military officer.
Mr. Partridge said he would not admit drunkenness as
any palliation for crime. The prisoners were all drunk,
and making themselves offensive to every one. Foster was
a cowardly fellow to strike a woman, and then to run after
her and attempt to hit her again. He was sure all the pri-
soner's comrades in the Grenadier Guards would look with
scorn and contempt on a man who struck a woman. He
sentenced Foster to be imprisoned for two months, and
kept to hard labour; and Chrisp and Klinch, to be fined
40s. each, ox be imprisoned for one month.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in

rent would, in alu lost all instances, fully repay them
while it would in the aggregate amount to no very
great sum. Su( h a course would at once approve
itself to the pea pie, who would recognise the justice
of the measure., while they would not be disposed to
favour an artisltra,ry removal to some place fixed on
by Governm .ent. To leave them free to suit them-
selves in the matter of dwelling place, while
compensating them for the trouble and loss
occa,sione d by moving, is so small and simple
a remedy that it is singular none of the members
who took part in the motions and counter-motions
of last evening suggested it. As it happened, after
the laughable incident of the division, there was not
a House sitting, and consequently no result was
arrived at, but there is no doubt that the full
assembly would have confirmed the virtual decision
of the twenty-eight members. We hope that the
practical solution of the difficulty which we have
referred to will be taken into consideration, as it is
undoubtedly the simplest and surest method of
avoiding injustice and extravagance.

THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA.
FLORENCE, Feb. 25.

The Nazione publishes the following letter from
Acireale dated, 18th inst. :—Those who perchance
may have- seen an eruption of Mount Etna can
form an adequate idea of the present from the few
words I have to add to my letter of the first inst.,
now that I have witnessed this tremendous
specsacle.

The crater is six kilometres in circumference,
with four horrible principal mouths, which eject
enormous stones to a height not less than one
kilomatre. The lava is rather frajile compared
with previous eruptions, bnt has a certain smell of
sulphur, and preserves an intense heat.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 'l.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Delhi, with the heavy portion of the above
mails, arrived here this morning with 69 passengers,
£1,639 in specie, and 1,230 packages of cargo, of
which 640 bales are cotton.

200 workmen employed on the railway at Reinosa,
in ;Santander, had mutinied, breaking their tools
and abandoning the works. Tho contractors were
officially required to pay the men their wages, the
withholding of which was the cause of the disturb-
ance. This official notice to the contractors restored
order.

The Delhi spoke the steamer Ellora on the 20th,
on the 22d H.M.S. Enchantress, and on the 28th
the steamer Nyanza.

preparation of dishes from animal food. This work is devoted
entirely to the proper cooking of vegetables, to preserving,
T ickling, the preparation of sauces, soups, beverages, &c., &c.,

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. The condition of the produce was very
middling, and the trade for good and fine produce ruled
firm at full currencies. Damp qualities met a dull inquiry
on former terms.
About an average supply of foreign wheat was on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was_small, yet
prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
With barley the market was moderately supplied. For
all descriptions the trade was dull, at about previous
quotations.
Malt sold slowly, at late prices.
Although the supply of oats on sale was very moderate,
the trade was quiet, and late rates wore barely maintained.
Beaus met a slow sale, at late prizes. For peas the trade
was firm.
Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at full prices.

BOROUGH HOP.
Generally speaking, the market is quiet. Good and fine
hops, however, are firm in price.

WHITECHAPEL.

The supply of meat on sale is but moderate, yet the
trade is slow, as follows:

Beef, from 35 Od to 4s 8d ; mutton, 38 8d to 4s 10d ; veal,
4s Od to 5s Od ; and pork, 3s 6d to 4s 8d per 81b by the
carcase.

The Price of Gold.

the quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £1
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-IGths per cent. dearer in Parts than in London.
By advic:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 stcrliu .
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
5-10 tbs per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.

On Sunday last her Majesty had a most mira-
culous escape from being crushed to death by the
falling of a huge elm tree in the Home Park. Her Majesty
was taking an airing on her favourite little Scotch pony,
and proceeding through the tall elms at Windsor known
as Queen Elizabeth's ride, the pony being led by a 011ie,
and a groom following at a short distance, when, fortu-
nately and providentially, the servant observed one of the
large trees falling immediately over her Majesty. The
groom called out loudly, and her Majesty, mado aware of
danger by this timely alarm, escaped being crushed beneath
the tree by a few yards only.—Court ,Tournal.
