HENRY RUSSELL AT THE LYCEUM..

Mr. Russell has been giving a farewell series of bi!
American entertainment at the Lyceum Theatre wit°
the most extraordinary success. The house has been
crowded to overflowing night after night,
thusiastic and delighted audiences. We are pleased ,t 4.
see that notwithstanding the multiplicity of the nanu!.
dates for public favour with which this vast metropolis
abounds, Mr. Russell retains his well-earned and justly'
deserved popularity unimpaired. And this no one can
ents,
begrudge him, for the tendency of all his entertainra
since the period when he first Lunched his bark on the
tide of public opinion, has been not only unexception•
by most e
able but most laudable. The remark has been often
made, that no one can hear Mr. Russell without being
made a better man—without having the more gfnlalt
s aim
ympathies of his nature amused—the remark 1.9 4.
true one, for while Russell sto delight and instruer4.
he also aims to excite a sympathy for human nu be
ing and an admiration of the noble and in
good. Mr. Russell's entertainment is one „pss
every respect worthy of the decided nue—he
which he has met. The views are well painted, t'
g
description is given in Russell's own pleasin
style, the anecdotes are related as Russell only ca
ern
relate them, the songs are sung with the utmost pow,
and pathos—for Russell is in excellent voice, and
fails
piano "speaks" the language of melody, as it never fa
to do when guided by Russell's genius. We are glad
to observe that Kirkman's piano used at the entertain'ment is a splendid instrument, and when at intervals
it was combined with the pianoire, the effect of its
ing notes on the vast audience was most surprising.
We can safely say that we have never seen any large
,185 r;
semblages of people more enraptured. To all our resole
and'to the public generally we say, " pay a visit to to
Lyceum before Mr. Russell's series is concluded."
London, England, 1853-09-06

The whole Turkish question has been managed in a
secret Divan. The opinion of the British Parliament has
not influenced a single protocol or been thought of in a
negotiation. The people of England know nothing of
the steps that have been adopted by any party except
what they hear from the communications from the Go-
vernment of France. The proceedings of Saturday are
(
an attempt to cashier cabinets as well as parliament, and
to establish the demesne of foreign politics as the exclu-
sive possession of the "mayors of the palace."
Dead as they imagine the spirit of England to be, we
warn Lord Aberdeen and his accomplices that this will
not be tolerated. Upon all that concerns the foreign as ►ell
as the domestic politics of England, the advisers of our
Sovereign must be those whom the constitution points
out. The noble earl has very frequently thought proper
to assume an insolence of demeanour which perhaps
most emphatically denotes the servility of the tenure by
which he holds his place. Even that insolence, perhaps,
will not make him insensible to the warning which tells
him that the people of England will have constitu-
tional and responsible government at any price—and,
perhaps, he may deign to listen to the counsel which
hints to him, that when he next wishes to convey to her
Majesty the advice of her Ministers common prudence
may suggest that the advice should be the result of the
deliberations of the whole Cabinet regularly convened.
Meantime let Englishmen ponder upon this. A deci-
sion has been come to upon a question that vitally affects
us and our children. We boast of living under consti-
tutional and responsible government—but no one can
tell us either what is that decision, nor yet by whom it
has been made.

The increasing popularity of the National Spectacle of the Battle of

ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the public taste, has increased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle of a Splendid Military Brass Band. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for Five Nights more (when it
must be withdrawn to make room for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Drama of Life on the Turf, which has
arrived at its 101st night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he is only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
flock to this popular Establishasent to witness their representa-
tion. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each week. The return of Miss
EMILY COOKE from her Continental Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-
ance every evening. N.ll.—Due Notice will be given of the

BRIGHTON.

Lord Alfred Hervey was re-elected yesterday without
opposition for the borough of Brighton. His lordship
arrived on the hustings outside the Town-hall before 12
o'clock, and was accompanied by a body of gentlemen
wearing green and crimson rosettes, A band of music
preceded them, and preparations had evidently been
made to give éclat to the business of the day, but they
were rendered almost utterly ineffectual by the heavy
rain which came drizzling down, to the great discomfort
of all those who were necessarily obliged to take part in
the proceedings.

LAWRANCE PEEL proposed, and Mr. E. BARN se-
conded, the nomination of the noble lord, and there
being no other candidate, Lord Alfred Hervey was then
declared by the 'returning officer to be duly elected td
serve in Parliament for the borough of Brighton. ,
The noble lord briefly addressed the electors, and the
proceedings ended with the customary vote of thanks to
the returning officer.

MARLBOROUGH.
The appointment of Lord Ernest Bruce to the Vice-
Chankberlainship of her Majesty's Household rendered it
necessary that his lordship should appear before his con-
stituents for re-election or rejection. The election was
accordingly held yesterday, upon hustings erected at the
town-hall. There was no opposition, and Lord Ernest
Bruce was again for the seventh time returned as the
representative of this b•rough. The proceedings ap-
peared to excite but little interest in this exceedingly
quiet little place ; there was an entire absence of the
usual electioneering paraphernalia; and, in consequence
to some extent no doubt of the extremely inclement
weather, there was but a small attendance of electors.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1853.

Hitherto the Elections have in every instance
turned out favourably for the new Administra-
tion. On Saturday Sir JAMES GRAHAM was re-
turned, without a contest, for the ancient city of
Carlisle. The electors of Southwark, at the same
time, bestowed a similar mark of their approval
on Sir WILLIAM MOLSWORTH, the First Commis-
sioner of Woods and Forests. Sir GEORGE GREY
was also elected as Representative for Morpeth;
Mrs STRUTT, the new Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, for Nottingham ; Lord MULGRAVE for
Scarborough ; and the Hon. 'WM. COWPER for
Hertford—no opposition being in any instance
offered to the above-named Members of the
ABERDEEN Government. On Monday its success
was no less striking. The citizens of London
unanimously re-elected the Leader of the house
of Commons, Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The burgesses
of Tiverton expressed their cordial and unchang-
ing regard for Viscount PALMERSTON ; while to
the Right Hon. MATTHEW TALBOT BALNES, his
fellow-townsmen at Leeds proved that his high
quanfic,ations and genuine kindliness of disposition
were thoroughly appreciated, and that gentlemen,
although politically opposed, hailed with satisfac-
tion°PP

Poor-Law Board, the

had previously discharged with so much zeal and

CHARGE OF SHEEP STEALING.

Isaac Tulett, 40, and James Vaughan, 28, farm
labourers, were indicted for stealing, at Capel, in this
county, a sheep, the property of James King, a farmer.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and the prisoners were un-

Stephen Worsfold, shepherd, in prosecutor's employ,
said, on Sunday morning, the 19th of December, he saw
safe in his master's fold 56 sheep, and on Tuesday morn-

he saw the entrails of a sheep near the fold, and foot-
marks leading to the wood. Those footmarks of two
persons were traced across another field to theiprisoners'
houses, and in searching Tuletb's house a pair of shoes
were found concealed in a hole, which corresponded with
the marks of one of the parties. The liver, head, and

IPS'ffICH-JAIT. 4.

The supply of wheat was by no means large, and in con-
sequence of the condition, which is still very bad, it met
with reluctant buyers ; prices were rather in favour of
purchasers. The sale of barley was very animated, and an
advance of is to 2s per qr. readily paid, the whole of the
supply being quickly cleared off. Beans and peas sold at
rather more money.

The trade has been very quiet, all parties- seeming
desirous to narrow their transactions, as is not unusual at
this period of the year. We bad a good supply of wheat
from the farmers to-day, the condition of which was
tolerable, and met a fair sale at is below the rates of last
week. A little more inquiry for foreign, without much
business resulting. Only a consumptive business passing
in spring corn, but prices are full and firm. Linseed very
firm, if not dearer, but the mild weather operates against
cakes, which may be bought the turn easier. No rapeseed

HALIFAX.

The polling took place yesterday. At the election in
July last Sir Charles Wood took the lead and kept it to
the close, when the numbers were—for Sir Charles Wood,
596 ; for Mr. Edwards, 521 ; majority for the former,
75. At this election the Tories began the fight in despe-
rate earnestness, and by way of securing their voters
they assembled them to breakfast early in the morning,
and then conveyed them off to the polling booths in cabs

and gigs as soon as the doors were opened. The effect
of this was to give Mr. Edwards a large majority in the
early part of the day ; but as the effort exhausted the
strength of his party, he soon after began to lose ground,
and by twelve o'clock he was in a minority. At half-
past nine o'clock he was in a majority of 150 ; but by
twelve o'clock Sir Charles headed the poll by 12 votes.
There are exactly 1,200 voters on the register, and it was
not expected that many more than 1,050 would poll,
The poll closed at four o'clock, when the following Were

LIVERPOOL-JAN. 4.

At this day's market, there was only a limited attend-
ance of town and country millers and dealers, with few
buyers from a distance, and the business done in wheat
and flour was altogether of a retail character, at a decline
of id to 2d per 701 b. on the former, and 6d per barrel and
is per sack on the latter article. Oats were in very
limited request, at late rates ; and oatmeal was 3d to 6d
per load cheaper. Barley, beans, and peas were held for
extreme rates, which interfered with sales. Indian corn,
afloat, and on the spot, met with a moderate inquiry, on
rather easier terms.

GLOUCESTER.

The nomination took place yesterday, and presented
a striking contrast to that of last July, when the candi-
dates mutually agreed to eschew bell-ringing, flags,
music, and colours. The streets of the city were early
astir with bands of music parading, colours flying, and
all the "pomp and circumstance" of an election accord-
ing to the " old style" of things,
The business of nomination commenced at ten o'clock,
at the Shire-hall, which was crowded to excess. On the
whole the proceedigs were carried on with good nature,
but there were two or three fights during the delivery of
Admiral Berkeley's speech. The Sheriff (Mr. Carter)
having gone through the necessary formalities,
Mr. W. WASHBOURNE, Mayor of Gloucester, nomi-
nated Admiral Berkeley for re-election.
Mr. S. KENDALL seconded the nomination.
