DRU.RY-LANE THEATRE.

Mr. Gustavus Brooke had another ovation last night
in the character of Richard the Third. His delineation
of the humphbacked, cruel, and ambitious monarch was a
masterpiece of acting, and elicited the most rapturous
applause. Those who have had an opportunity of wit-
nessing Mr. Brooke in other pieces, can easily imagine
how many opportunities there are in this character for
the display of those peculiar, and, we may add, un-
surpassed dramatic powers which ho is generally
admitted to possess. Great physical powers are neces-
sary to a perfect Richard 111., but so is also a voice not
only of large capacity, but capable of the most perfect
modulation, and both these qualities Mr. Brooke in-
herits, and he employed them last night with splendid
effect. It is so long since a tragedian attracted larger
crowds to Drury-lane than could be admitted, that we
almost forgot such an event ; but yesterday evening a
bill, in bold letters, was posted up at the different en-
trances of the theatre, at a very early hour, an-
nouncing that no more money would be taken at the
doors. We understand that more than 700 persons
were refused admittance.

expensive as well as the most costly articles are to be found at his
Repository of Utilities and Elegances,

THE LATE COLONEL MACKESON.

The following General Order was published in
the Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary of Tuesday,
October 4th, 1853 :

" The Most Noble the Governor-General in Council,
having discharged the painful duty of *announcing the
death of his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the
North-Western Provinces, is impelled by a sense of the
double loss which the State has at this time sustained to
depart from ordinary course, in order that he may further
bear a public testimony to the merits and character of the
gallant soldier who has, lately fallen by an assassin's
hand.

"The reputation of Lieutenant-Colonel Mackeson, as
a soldier, is known to and honoured by all. His value
as a political servant of the State is known to none better
than the Governor-General himself, who, in a difficult
and eventful time, had cause to mark his great ability,
and the admirable prudence, discretion, and temper,
which added tenfold value to the high soldierly qualities
of his public character.
"The loss of Colonel Mackeson's life would have
dimmed a victory. To lose him thus, by the hand of a
foul assassship is a misfortune of the heaviest gloom for
the Government which counted him amongst its bravest
and best.

"By order of the Goiernor-General Of India in
Council.

" J. P. GRANT,
"Officiating Secretary to the Government of India.'.

PANORAMA OF C ONSTANTINOPLE.

Mr. Burford has brought out a very pretty and
aerially •painted picture of Constantinople. The view is
taken from the top of the Seraskier minaret, and em-
braces a very wide range of country, not delineating
merely the city, but the city set in the surrounding
landscape, and showing in the clearest manner the
geography of the peninsula on which Constantinople is
built, from the Sea of Marmora on one hand to the
Bosphorus on the other, the Asian hills bounding the
prospect. The picture is executed in Mr. Burford's
happiest style.

SPAIN.

The 31hdrid. journals of the 17th are, like those
of preceding days, destitute of news of interest.
The Gazette contains a notification that persons
who are to attend the Queen's accouchement are
not to appear in black, and that the Court mourn-
ing is to be suspended.
The Herald° says that there is not the least
foundation for the statement that a treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, has been entered
into between England, France, Piedmont, and
Spain. The same journal says that the Balearic
Islands are to be put into a state of defence. and that
troops have been sent to increase the garrison.
The Three per Cents. were done at 43a ; the New

various railway termini, particularly the South-Eastern,
Great Northern, Eastern Counties, and North-Western,
in consequence of the innnense number of packages and
parcels of game and poultry that were constantly arriv-
ing by the passenger and other trains. A. consignment
of 800 Turkeys, 1,600 geese, besides several hampers and
crates of other descriptions of poultry, was received at
the Eastern Counties terminus for a salesman in Leaden-
hall-market, and the quantity of game that arrives from
the North of England and Scotland is scarcely credible.
The contractors for the delivery of railway parcels being
unable to comply with the provisions of the act of Par-
liament for the delivery within a specified time after
their arrival in the metropolis, have been compelled to
hire extra porters, vans, cabs, and other vehicles to ac-
celerate the work.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.

This favorite place of amusement and instruction was
re-opened last night for the Christmas holidays, with a
novelty -in the shape of a series of very effective views,
illustrating life in the Polar regions, the chief portion of
them being taken from sketches made by Captain Ingle-
field, of her Majesty's ship Phoenix. No attempt is
made to set forth a complete route, but characteristic
points are taken, such as will afford a tolerably accurate
notion of life in the northern regions. The death of
a-bear, for instance, is a good standing Arctic episode,
which is here reproduced with great effect. Then we are
shown how a ship may run the risk of being crushed by
closing blocks of ice ; and the use of blue lights" is ren-
dered evident to ocular inspection. Icebergs, fields of
ice, encampments on the ice, are all effectively repre-
sented, and a mock aurora borealis flashes its dioramic
lustre over the cold sublimities. Care is also taken that
the spectators do not quit the Arctic regions with hearts
too chilly. The prefatory lecture terminates with a sec•
tion of the Investigator in winter quarters, showing how,
under the kind auspices of Captain M'Clure, the Arctic
travellers keep a " merry Christmas."
Nor is Mr. Stocqueler's lecture less agreeable than the
picture it explains. Easy in manner, natural in expres-
sion, concise in description, and copious in facts, this
most unpretending of lecturers has cultivated the art of
conveying the greatest possible information in the fewest
possible words, till it has attained a perfection which few
others can rival.
The "Ocean Mail" is repeated every evening after the
Polar sketches.

The Madrid journals of the 17th are, like those
of preceding days, destitute of news of interest.
The Gazette contains a notification that persons
who are to attend the Queen's accouchement are
not to appoar in black, and that the Court mourn-
ing is to be suspended.
The Heraldo says that there is not the least
foundation for the statement that a, treaty. of
alliance, offensive and defensive, has been entered
into between England, France, Piedmont, and
Spain. The same journal says that the Balearic
Islands are to be put into a state of defence, and that
troops have been sent to increase the garrison.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market
was very moderate. For all kinds we had a steady, though
not to say brisk, demand, at fully. Monday's prices.
From abroad the imports of wheat have been large--
viz., rather over 29,000 quarters.A full average business
watransacted in most descriptions on former terms.
Floating cargoes were in request, on 'continental Re-
count. _

The shew of barley was rather limited, and a good
clearance was effected, at the late advance in prices.
There was a fair inquiry for malt, on former terms.
The arrivals of oats from Ireland having been large, tiro
demand for that grain was less active; yet, in some in-
stances, rather more money was paid for old corn.
Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday. • 1

SMITHFIELD.

A very limited supply of beasts was on sale in to-day's
market ; yet the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at
barely Monday's prices. The numbers of sheep were trifling,
but quite equal to the wants of the buyers. In the quo-
tations no change took place. Prime small calves were
scarce, and held at full currencies. Other kinds of veal
moved off heavily, at a decline of 4d to Gd per Sibs. In
pigs next to nothing was doing, on former terms.
Mulch cows were dull, at from 141. to 19/, each, including
their small calf.

ITALY.

Accounts from Rome, of December 14, state
that the Pope has sanctioned the understanding to
which his Government has come with the Govern-
ment of Great Britain with respect to certain reci-
procal advantages to fe conceded to vessels in the
ports of either state.

At Turin, on December 19th, the Parliament was
opened by the King in person. The solemnity
took place in the hall of the Senate. The ceremony
commenced by the new senators and deputies
taking the oath of fidelity to the King and the
Constitution. Curiously enough, the first name
called was that of Count Vitaliano Borromeo, one
of the principal sufferers by the recent Austrian
act of sequestration. The second was that of the
late Premier, Massimo d'Azeglio. The following
is the royal speech :—'
"Senators and Deputies—ln opening a new legisla-
ture, I record with just pride that the sixth year is about
at an end since my august father inaugurated constitu-
tional liberty in this ancient monarchy.
"The nation hailed that liberty with joy—used it
with wisdom ; and, advancing in the closest and most
trustful union with its King, it showed itself conscious
of its true interests, and worthy of its destinies.
"To this indissoluble union, rendered yet more
splendid by the noble attitude of the country, we are in-
debted for the growing sympathy of the most civilised
nations, and the constantly more intimate friendship of
the most enlightened Governments of Europe.
" From this union my Government has gathered suf-
ficient strength to preserve intact the national dignity,
under painful and difficult circumstances ; and to up-
hold against every attack the noble principle of indepen-
dence, which is uppermost in my own and in your
affections. (His Majesty pronounced these words with
unusual emphasis and feeling, and was warmly cheered.) ,
