LYCEUM THEATRE.—The enterprising Mr. Allcroft
has engaged Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves for three
" fareweil" performances prior to "their departure
from London for the present season," and the first of
them took place last night. The Lyceum Theatre was
filled to the ceiling to witness the Bateman, Girl--an
opera that has taken a peculiar hold of the unsophisti-
cated public, and which is seldom revived without meet-
ing with considerable patronage. The audience last night
was of the old sort. Enthusiasm of the warmest kind pre-
vailed, and Mr. Sims Reeves and his better half received
with a cordiality which betokened the strength and con-
tinuance of the popular interest. Mr. Sims Reeves was
in excellent voice, and the pretty music of this operatic
perennial fell from his lips as gracefully and pleasantly
as ever it did. In the once-famous song, "I dreamt
that I dwelt in marble halls," Mrs. Sims Reeves was
encored with extraordinary vehemence. She, in fact,
seemed to be in as much vogue as her husband—if we
may judge by the usual tests. Mr. Weiss was the Count
Arnheim, and Mr. Farquharson Smith the Devilshoof,
the comicalities of the latter being, we need hardly ob-
serve, relished in proportion to its extravagance. The
chorus was tolerable, and the orehestra was conducted
by. Mr. J. 11. Tully. The Sonnambula and the Lucia
di Lammermoor are announced.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE MAYOR OF GLOCESTER.—The
city of Glocester was thrown into some excitemant on
Tuesday morning by the announcement that Mr. W.
Washbourne, the respected mayor of the city, had died
suddenly on the previous night, on his return from
London. It appears that Mr. Washhourne formed
one of a party of excursionists who left Glocester
for London on Saturday by the • Great Western
Railway. The train returned from London on
Monday evening, leaving Paddington at half-past 6
o'clock. Mr. Washbourne appeared to be in excellent
health until the train arrived within a few miles of
Glocester. As it was running down the long incline
near Stroud, Mr. Washbourne made the remark that the
trai❑ was running at an unusually rapid rate, and he
appeared somewhat alarmed. Almost immediately
afterwards he fell back in a fit of apoplexy. Dr. Cook,
of Cheltenham, who was in the train, was called in and
attended to hire, and on the train arriving at Glocester
he was immediately conveyed to his residence, where he
expired almost immediately. Mr. Washbourne was
much respecttd in Glocester for the manner in which he
had conducted the duties of his mayoralty for the last
two years, and especially during the visit of the Royal
Agricultural Society to Glocester last year. At the in-
quest held on Tuesday the jury decided that death WAS
caused by apoplcxp.
