ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—On Saturday night the per-
formances of the German company at St. James's
Theatre closed with the representation .(for the third
time) of William Tell. The London public is much ins
debted to Mr. Mitchell for the enterprise and spirit he'.
has displayed on this occasion. If we cast a retrospec-
tive glance at the short and successful series of perform-
ances, we find that no less than six of the masterpieces
of the German drama have been given, namely :
William Tell, Faust, Egmont, _Mese°, Don Carlos, and
the Bride of Messina; two entirely new pieces to Eng-
land—Preciosa and Donna Diana ; and a German ver-
sion of Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, and Othello.
SOHO THEATRE. —An amateur performance took
place at this theatre on Saturday last, the entertain-
ments commencing with Shakspeare's Merchant of
Venice. Mr. Craven's personation of Shylock was a
fine piece of acting, reminding one more of the finished
actor than the untutored amateur. All the other cha-
racters were very evenly played, with the exception of
Lorenzo, which was "done in a most extraordinary
manner by a Mr. Vivian, whose strange style of singing
the part was anything but attractive. A melodrama
terminated the entertainment.

DEATH OF A LADY AT THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
—On Saturday afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, an
elderly lady named Sadler, residing in Ebury-street,
Pimlico, having gone with her daughter and another
young lady to see the Houses of Parliament, was pro-
ceeding up the steps leading into St. Stephen's-hall,
when another party of visitors, who had passed on
before, incautiously allowed the heavy doors to swing
back, and Mrs. Sadler being in advance of her party,
was thrown down the steps with great violence, the pos-
terior part of the skull striking the marble pavement.
The police in attendance picked her up, and some ladies
who witnessed the accident applied such means as were
at hand, but without effect. She was immediately re-
moved in a cab to the Westminster Hospital, where she
wa3 promp',ly attended by the house surgeon, but the
unfortunate lady bad ceased to exist. The body re-
maim M the hoppital for the.coroner's inquest._su
