THE ROYAL PROGRESS TO SCOTLAND.

The Irish visit completed, her Majesty, the Prince
Consort, and the members of the Royal family who ac-
companied them to Dublin are seeking with all c‘anre-
nient speed the seclusion and the mountain air and ex-
ercise of Balmoral. From an affair of State connected
with the vital interest of the sister kingdom the Queen's
progress henceforth becomes the simple journey of the
first lady in the land to her home in the north. Beyond,
therefore, the brief assurance of the safety with which
that journey is performed the public have little further
to learn with regard to it.
The Royal party witnessed on Monday morning, at a
quarter to 7 o'clock, in Holyhead harbour, the explosion
of a great mine containing 4,0001 b. or 5,0001 b. of gun-
powder at the Quarries. By this gigantic operation
about 20,000 tons of material available for the break-
waters were at once detached from the cliff; and the
sublimity of the spectacle may therefore readily be con-
ceived.

At half-past 8 o'clock, the Victoria and Albert having
previously steamed round to the landing-place of the old
harbour, the illustrious party disembarked, and enter-
ing the Royal train were drawn by horses to a point
on the rails nearly opposite Hibbert's Royal Hotel.
Here the engine was attached, and the journey north-
wards at once commenced. Captain Simmons, R.E.,
again took charge of the train ; and this new arrange-
ment is likely to prove much more agreeable to the
railway authorities than the old, as it effectually re-
lieves them from the interference of members of the
Household, not in every instance pleasantly con-
ducted. The Royal party reached Chester at a quarter
to 11 o'clock, where Mr. Binger, the manager, and the
other officers of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, took
their leave. Proceeding thence at a rapid pace by Park-
side, Lancaster was gained at 1, and Carlisle at a quarter
past 3. After a stay of an hour there for luncheon,
the journey was resumed, and her Majesty is expected
to reach Edinburgh at a quarter to 7 o'clock. She has
been received thus far with the warmest demonstrations
of loyalty by crowds of her subjects collected at all the
stations on the route. At Chester a guard of honour
lined the platform and saluted, the band playing the
National Anthem. Further on, at Warrington, a salute
was fired from a fine new ship on the stocks, and the
factory operatives turned out in large numbers to give
their Queen a hearty cheer. It was much the same
along the entire line, and nothing more bespeaks the
interest with which her Majesty is regarded by even the
humblest of her people than to observe that at the lone-
liest wayside cottages the inmates expect on these occa-
sions her approach, and shout and wave their hats and
hankerchiefs as the train whirls past.

The Royal train arrived at Edinburgh punctually at a
quarter before 7 o'clock, and the illustrious travellers,
escorted by cavalry, proceeded at once in carriages to
Holyrood Palace.

Princes-street was crowded from end to end with
spectators, who gave her Majesty an unpremeditated,
but very enthusiastic, reception.

Mr, Oliveira; M.P., has left for Dieppe and Paris.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.-It seems that
her Majesty, just as she had reached the precincts of the
city on Saturday evening, expressed to the Lord Mayor
" her regret " that her visit had not been of "longer
duration." The Freeman's Journal, moralizing upon
the effect of the Royal visit, advises the people to re-
turn from holiday-making, and to work out the problem
of self-reliant industry. "Talk" will no longer do.
They must ascertain what the impediments are to in-
dustrial progress, and to remove them with all conve-
nient despatch, "in order that industry may flourish,
and bring happiness and comfort to the poor's home,
while giving wealth and fame to the nation." In the
views thus expressed who could recognise the old tone
of the old organ of Irish agitation ? Surely, after this,
it cannot be said that the past week has been barren of
good fruit.—Times.

- MARRIAGE OF GRISI.—It is said that Grisi and Mario
were privately married a few days ago at St. John's
Wood. The recent death of M. de Melcy (Mule. Grisi's
late husband) had, on dit, hastened the union of the two

THE WELLINGTON MEMORIAL AT GUILDHALL.—Yes-

Guildhall in constructing a substantial hoarding inside
that building, for the purpose of receiving the different
models in commemoration of the late Duke of Welling-
ton. Out of these one will be selected by the commit-
tee to be fixed, after the marble is chiselled, in the niche
now filled by the Beckford statute. The committee meet
to-day to view the specimens.
MILITARY PATRONAGE.—Since Lord Hardinge's ac-
cession to office there have been no less than eleven co-
lonelcies fallen vacant, not certainly bad for the first
year of a Commander-in-Chief. There will shortly be
vacant several fine commands in the colonies. There
are now two colonelcies at the Commander's disposal,
viz. :—the 22d, vacant by the death of Sir Charles
Napier; and the 78th Highlanders, by the death of Sir
Neil Douglas--strange to add, the 'last four vacant regi-
ments were held by either natives of Scotland or men
of Caledonian origin.

FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW TO LORD PAL-
MERSTON.—At the meeting of the Town Council of Glas-
gow on Thursday, the Lord Provost gave notice that
he would move at next meeting that the Council agree
to present Lord Palmerston with the freedom of the
city. At a special meeting of the Town Council of In-
verness, held on Saturday last, a similar resolution was
come to with respect to Mr. Gladstone.
GREAT RISE IN CORN.—Stamford market, on Friday,
was in a most excited state, and the price of wheat rose
in some instances as much as 9s. per quarter. This un-
expected and almost unparalleled advance, which was
attributable to the presence of several French merchants,
who became extensive purchasers, was not confined to
Stamford. At Spalding wheat sold for Bs. to 10s. more
money than it fetched on the previous market day, and
similar advances have taken place in other markets in
this neighbourhood.

DRUB Y--LANE THEATRE.

MR. G. V. BROOKE,

Last night Drury-lane Theatre was opened by the
lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, for a short dramatic season of
25 nights, the great attraction being the engagement
for a period of Mr. G. V. Brooke, the tragedian, who
the public is informed is shortly about to emigrate to
the El Dorado of the Western Hemisphere. This gen-
tleman, who for a considerable time past has been an
" immense" favourite in the provinces, made his first
appearance in London, at the Olympic Theatre, two or
three years ago, in the character of Othello, the part
selected last night for his debut before an " Old Drury"
audience, and on that occasion created quite a sensa-
tion by the originality and undoubted superiority of his
acting. He subsequently went through the list of the
principal Shaksperian characters, and in each sus-
tained much of the reputation he had acquired by
his delineation of the jealous Moor ; but on the whole
his metropolitan career was not brilliant, chiefly owing
to an awkward misunderstanding with the manager of
the Haymarket, which had the effect of preventing the
display of his abilities in a wider and more favourable
region. Last night the house was crowded to excess,
and, not only was Mr. Brooke well received, but his
performance throughout created the greatest enthusiasm
among the audience.. But if his Othello was not a perfect
rendering of the Moor, it was at least as good as any we
can boast of by other actors now on the stage, and in many
respects he is infinitely superior to any of his contempo-
raries. In point of figure and stature, there is nothing to
be desired ; his action is easy and graceful, while his voice
is of large compass, and capable of giving full expres-
sion to the different emotions which animate the human
breast. The principle fault we find with him is, that
he occasionally degenerates into bombast, and alternates
too rapidly between sepulchre, the fierce, and the fami-
liar inflexions of his voice—a trick, seemingly, with the
view of drawing down the applause of the gallery.
Mr. Davenport was the lago, and a very picturesque-
looking, intelligent, and effective lago he made, taking
care to steer judiciously clear of the usual mistake of let-
ting the " villany" be transparent even to his dupes. Des-
demona was played by Miss Anderton, who was feminine,
interesting, and expressive, and very neat besides, while
at the proper occasions she was quite as powerful as so
" gentle" a lady ought to be. Of the rest of the charac-
ters, .with the exception of the very effective rendering
of the little part of Brabantio by Mr. George Bennett,
there is nothing to be said. A. burlesque called the
Fountain of Beauty followed the tragedy. The doggrel
dialogue—which has been written in demonstration of
the loves of King Pretty for the Princess Emerald, his
trials to remove a hump from his back, and the adverse
views of the evil one, Knotagooddun—has been illus-
trated by a variety of gay dresses and tinselled scenes,
nd the extravaganza (rather, by the way, more political
than usual in its allusions) does not sink below the or-
dinary level of such things. The vocal parodies which
are sprinkled over the piece are sung by Miss Feather-
stone and her coadjutors with spirit. The burlesque is
written by a Mr. Kingdom, who, with the usual liber-
ality of the burlesque writers, has confined some of his
best jests to the bill. The piece, however, is far too
long. The first act, last night, did not terminate till
after midnight.
We subjoin the opinion of some of the morning papers
upon Mr. Brooke's performance :

(Prom the Times.)

Any person, on seeing the crowd assembled at the
doors of Drury-lane Theatre yesterday evening, and the
word " Othello" in the play bills, might have fancied
that the old days of " Old Drury" had returned, and
that the legitimate drama was once more seated in its
large ancient domicile. The aspect of the interior of
the house was enough to confirm the opinion. There
was the dense pit and the galleries crowded with count-
less expectants, as in former times ; there was a goodly
assemblage in the boxes ; and lastly, every seat of that
modern row of innovations, the " stalls," was occupied.
Let us add that this huge audience was most atten-
tive, and even reverential. A refined soliloquy by
Mademoiselle Rachel could not have been listened to
with more watchful interest at the St. James's Theatre
than was every line of Othello by the Drury-lane public
last night. The spectators seemed really absorbed in
the progress of the piece, and indignantly hushed down
a cough or a whisper, as if it were an intrusion on au
awful solemnity.
If such an audience dad also been a critical audience,
the restoration of the legitimate drama to all its pristine
dignities might have ben ptedicted without the fear
of error. But with all its attention—with all its rever-
ence—with all its interest, a very little observation
was required to show that this was a public in which the
critical faculty did not exist. When they rose into
applause (and it was applause !) at a speech of Mr.
Brooke's it was generally because he spoke louder than
ordinary ; nor, indeed, could we see a single instance in
which any talent but that of loud speaking elicited
audible approbation from the audience. In fact, Drury-
lane was still a huge minor theatre, with that believing,
uninquiring, hearty audience which we generally find in
more southern regions, and which can equally appreciate
the tragedies of Shakespere and the strong nautical
drama. Such an audience may well be the delight of
managers, but it is no good training school for actors.
Mr. G. V. Brooke, the " star" of the occasion, has
come back, after a long absence, blessed with the re-
covery of those physical advantages which had failed him
when he was last in London. He has certainly a splen-
did voice, deep and sonorous at will, and capable of ex-
pressing manly pathos to a degree which, if the organ
were well managed, might be affecting in the extreme.
But as an artiste he has not made any advance. A slow
chanting method of representing grief—a disposition to
rant whenever an opportunity offers—a habit of slow
preparation which destroys all appearance of spon-
taneity, and is followed by no important result—these
are the chief characteristics of his Othello through-
out. Nor are we enabled to discover on what prin •
ciple he regulates his distribution of expression. Lines
which we should have looked upon as merely de-
clamatory, or perhaps pathetic, he sometimes gave in a
storm of fury, while fierce invectives were occasionally
delivered in the tone of sorrow. Now and then, indeed,
he gave indication of better things. Part of the con-
chiding speech of the whole, for instance, was delivered
with a deep-toned unexaggerated sorrow, which made
us regret that such good natural qualities bad not re-
ceived better training.
These objections, however, merely apply to the claims
of Mr. G. V. Brooke as a high tragic artiste. For such
an audience as we had last night at Drury-lane his per-
formance was the very thing. If he stormed, he stormed
in good earnest ; if he sorrowed, he marked out his sor-
rows right mournfully. It was strong black and-white
acting. To deny that he was successful would not only
be unjust—it would be absurd. Probably a more tre-
mendous success was never witnessed. Mr. G. V.
Brooke was called at the end of the third act ; and at the
end of the piece hats were waved as to the candidate at
a successful election. The feeling too was no doubt
genuine ; and Mr. Brooke, likely enough, will draw full
houses during the whole course of his engagement. If
we do not admire ourselves, we would at any rate faith-
fully record the admiration of others.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)

Last night Mr. Brooke again appeared in London as
Othello. We have no word to retract from the expres-
sion of our original opinion, and scarcely one to add.
Mr. Brooke's magnificent voice—perhaps the finest
which is heard on the English stage—retains all its
power, resonance, and impressiveness. He evinces all
his old stage knowledge, and his occasional picturesque-
ness still gratifies the eye, while the judgment remains
unsatisfied. He appears to be still what he was when
he left us—a most effective and even brilliant melo-
dramatic actor, who might, if he chose, be invaluable,
and even great, in the romantic drama, but who cannot
breathe " the difficult air of the iced mountain top."
Last night, as when he originally came out, the spirit
and meaning of the Shaksperian line were not infre-
quently sacrificed for the sake of a vocal " point "—in-
tensity was purchased at the price of appropriateness--
and the general effect was fragmentary and discordant.
But Mr. Brooke trod the stage finely—the area of
Drury-lane gave him scope for the tragic stride and
sweep ; and he worked up each scene with a zeal and a
conscientiousness which forbad the least satisfied of his
spectators to treat the performance disrespectfully.
COuld we as conscientiously state that our opinion of
his powers had been modified by what we saw last night,
we should gladly make that statement, but we cannot
see that the Mr. Brooke of Drury-lane is other than the
Mr. Brooke of the Olympic.

(From the Morning Post.)
The above theatre was re-opened last night for a short
dramatic season, of which Mr. Gustavus Brooke, who
appeared on the occasion as Othello, is, we presume, to
be
the
hero. We had never before seen him in that very
arduous character, and his delineation of it certainly,
struck us very much. It was powerful, dignified, in-
tense, throughout. The alternate bursts of grief and
fury in the great scenes with lago were given with
overwhelming energy ; the rough manly demeanour of
him to whom custom "hath made the flinty and steel
couch of war his thrice-driven bed of down," never for
an instant forgotten ; and the actor's conceptions every-
where received the most complete expression from a
strongly marked, intelligent physiognomy, eloquent ges-
tures, and a voice of extraordinary depth and sonority.
With a little more animation in the delivery of declama-
tory passages, and pathos in the touching speeches, "0,
now, farewell for ever the tranquil mind !" and "Had
it pleased Heaven,"&c., where the mental anguish might
well wring tears even from a stern warrior, Mr. Brooke's
performance would have been almost irreproachable.
In that portion of the play where Othello first listens
to the horrible insinuations of lago, who gradually
poisons the source of all his joys, the artist pleased us
most. Here he was really at times sublime. Distract-
ing doubt—amazement—frantic rage, and blank deso-
lation, were by turns depicted with perfectly illusive
faithfulness, while the wailing tones of his ponderous
voice, which ever and anon came forth as from the ruins
of a heart, sounded like the dreary song of the night
wind careering through a churchyard. They were long
and terrible sighs, such as Beethoven makes us hear in
his wonderful pianoforte "sonota quasi fantasia" in C
sharp minor. We have now stated generally what we

admired, and what we think eusoitible of improve-

.................r....y1 .......---
ment, in this great actor's impersonation, and see"
only add a caution to him not to abuse his extraor;
dinary vocal powers by making abrupt transition
from high to low, such as we remarked more tban
once on this occasion. So admirable a perfornier
should despise mere clap-trap effects.

(From the Morning Herald.)
- M. Gustavus Bke blongs rather to a 03'501
than an intellectualroo school of artistes—a characteristic
that was fully established on a former occa,,iou.
declamation was always of the loudest ; and the rueotir,
that he bad lost his voice (nOw unquestioniibly returned
to him) could scarcely surprise those who witnessed hie
early displays. Drury-lane Theatre is more favourable
than the Olympic for actors of this class. The larger
space ameliorates the quality of the voice, and coarse-
ness of style is less palpate. The house last night was
the
well filled. Mr. Brooke reigns supreme among
unsophisticated ; and his friends of the upper re'
gions assembled handsomely to welcome his It
turn to the metropolis. He played the part of the
jealous Moor in no different vein to that of for
merly. The sepulchral inflexions of voice, 100 l
pauses, transitions from the fierce to the familiar, en
those explosive bursts which the gods admire and IP-
plaud to the echo, were there as of old, and the POI
verdict, as before, was indicative both of success aein,
triumph. The gallery portion of the audience was .0
ecstacies with Mr. Brooke, and the shirt•sleeved criti
were most tempestuous in their expressions of delight
Their exuberance of deportment was unbounded, and
their approbation took shape in whistlings, shrieks, eel.
loquies across the house, and other genial tokens that2:l:
li
look for only at the festive season of Christmas. the
calls for the hero of the evening, at the close of °
d
third and fifth acts, amounted to a perfect tornado ; 04
if merit could be measured by noise, his success
vast indeed.
