The Emperor and Empress received on Sunday,
at a private audience, Baron de Fagel, Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
King of Holland, and Charge d'Affaires of the
Duke of Nassau, who handed to the Emperor a
letter announcing the marriage of the Princess
Helen of Nassau, sister of the reigning duke, with
the reigning Prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont. The
Marquis de Viluma, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Queen of Spain,
afterwards took leave of their Majesties, on his
return to Madrid. Gen. de Kallergi had the
honour of being presented to their Majesties by
M. Mavrocordato, Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary to the King of Greece.
The inauguration of the bust of the Emperor,
and the ceremony of administering the oath to the
employes and agents of the administration took
place on Sunday at the Prefecture of Police. M.

mented tent, surmounted by an eagle, was erected
opposite the entrance gate of the court, which
was filled with the high functionaries of the depart-
ment, the commissaries of police, officers-de-
paix, Ssc., and on the platform, round the
fauteuil occupied by M. Pietri, were the secretary
general, the chefs-de-division, the chef-du-cabinet,
and the heads of the different departments of the
establishment. The bands of the municipal guards
were present, and enlivened the scene by playing
a variety of airs. The Prefect of Police read a,
very impressive and appropriate speech, which was
replied to by loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur
4‘ Vive I'lmperatrice !"

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

A new one-act piece, under the title of Pierre, "a
lyric sketch," was produced here on Saturday evening.
It is the joint production of Mr. Henri Drayton and
Mr. J. E. Duggan. Nothing can be more simple than
Mr. Drayton's story. Pierre is a poor lunatic, who has
lost his senses through the practical jest of his rustic
comrades, who have placed a skull under a veil, and set
it before him as the head of his betrothed. He wanders
about moodily and vacantly ; but a good old doctor con-
ceives the notable plan of bringing him back to his
native village, and by inviting the maiden herself, who
was the innocent cause of his calamity, to sing a ditty
with which he was familiar in saner days, a cure is
effected. The object of the author has been to make
Pierre the central figure, and to paint the changes of
temper and eccentricity which a maniac may be supposed
to experience ; and hence the music belonging to him,
particularly his opening scena, is as disjointed and
various as the celebrated "Mad Tom" of Purcell.
There is a rich dramatic vein in all Mr. Duggan writes,
especially in his recitatives, which are full of truth and
meaning. One of the most taking morceaux is a pretty
song sung by the heroine, which is recognisable by its
piquant French tournure. Altogether there is much
that deserves commendation in the music. It is manly
and solid, and wholly free from tameness and insipidity.
Mr. Duggan writes with confidence and fervour. His
knowledge of instrumentation is good, and his power of
employing it worthy of remark. Many of the orchestral
passages in Pierre are eminently picturesque, and as
descriptive as could be wished. A libretto of a better
and more attractive character would have placed Mr.
Duggan in a superior light, but there is abundance to
show that he has both ambition and ability, and that he
is likely to win fame in the portrayal of the melodra-
matic and the romantic—to which we fancy we perceive
his yearnings chiefly tend.
The " Sketch" was sustained by Miss Lowe and Mr.
Henri Drayton, who exerted themselves with undeniable
energy, and they obtained unbounded applause. The
favourable verdict of the audience was loudly expressed
at the fall of the curtain, a call being raised for Miss
Lowe and Mr. Drayton, and then another for Mr.
Duggan, the composer, who presided in the orchestra.

the small fleet, which has been sent there, is to

responding month of the preceding year.

THE ARMY.

The following depots (each four companies) of the 16th
Foot, 36th and 72d Highlanders, are to proceed to
Chatham, where they will remain until the arrival of
the service companies of their several corps in England.
The 16th depot comes from Castlebar, Ireland ; the 36th
from Chester, and the 72d from Clare Castle.
The commander-in-chief has granted leave of absence
to the following. officers at Chatham garrison :—Assist-
ant-Surgeon W. L. Reid, to the 6th January, 1854 ;
Ensign Hassell, 84th Foot, to the 30th inst. ; and Capt.
C. F. J. Daniell, of the 38th, to Jan. 30, 1854.
A large number of recruits for the different corps
comprising the provisional battalion at Chatham arrive
daily from the north and west of England ; about 100
entered Chatham barracks on Saturday last.
The following four regiments have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to move from their present
quarters to Ireland, viz :—The 28th, from Leeds to
Dublin ; the 50th, from Plymouth to Cork ; the 77th,
from Glasgow to Belfast ; and the 82d, from Stirling
Castle, via Glasgow, to Dublin. These regiments are to
replace the service companies of the 9th, 14th, 17th,
39th, 62d, and 89th Regiments, which are under orders
to embark for Gibraltar and Malta, with a view to the
arrangements for the relief ,of certain regiments serving
abroad being carried out.
RELIEFS OF REGIMENTS IN INDIA.—The Queen's regi-
ments aboutto be relieved in the East Indies :—The 15th
Hussars, after 14 years ; 51st (King's Own) Light In-
fantry after 15 years ' • and 94th Regiment, after 15 years'
service on the East Indies station—cannot be expected
home before the middle of next year, as the vessels in
which they are to return to this country only left Eng-
land for the Cape of Good Hope and India in the month
of September last.

WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—The com-
mittee of this Society have just issued their fourth annual
report. They inform the public that they were the first
freehold
land society formed in London, and that they
have steadily adhered to the original principle of rotation,
dividing the estates, as they purchase them, equally be-
tween the paid-up and the subscribing members. From
the debtor and creditor account of the estate last
allotted, it appears that the members had obtained their
plots, at the actual- cost of the purchase, with the addi-
tion of 14 per cent. for conveyance, malting roads, and
all other expenses. They state that their present num-
ber of shares are 1,575, and making, with those taken up
on the distributed estates, 1,774. The entire subscrip-
tions have reached the sum of 22,1871. 125., of which
6,7771. 7s. 4d. has been received during the present year.
The number of votes obtained by the members previous
to the last registration were for East Surrey 35, andl
West Surrey 77. The recent revision has, however,
added considerably to the number in both divisions of
the county.

editor for libel.

MR. ROEBUCK ON EDUCATION.

An interesting letter from Mr. Roebuck has been
sent to the Mayor of Sheffield, in reply to an invitation
to attend a soiree of the Mechanics' Library :
" Milton, Oct. 31, 1853.

some minds ignorance of everything appears better
a creed diff • ern-Igfrom their own. Those people seem to
forget that morality among the various sects of England
is the same, and that a man may be honest and a good
citizen, no matter to what sect he belongs. But the fact
is, that it is not religious belief that stands in our way so
much as human pride. What is feared is the top of power,
not error in belief. But, whatever may be the cause of
I opposition, the opposition itself to all attempts at legisla-
tive aid in support of education is at the present time so
formidable as really to be a complete obstruction. In this
state of things I look upon mechanics' institutions as
neutral ground, and one of our chief means of educating
the people. By this means the people will, I hope, be
able to do for themselves what the State ought to do for
them, and they, therefore, have my wannest support.
Again I say, would that could be with you ; but my
I first duty is to be again, if possible, in Parliament—to
1 that I make everything yield ; and I therefore most re-
luctantly deny myself the pleasure of being at your

and that you will not think me lukewarm in the good
cause.—Believe me very truly y"ours,

LIVERPOOL.

From information received from the medical depart-
ment of the Government Emigration-office, it appears
that during the month of October 36 ships have been
cleared, with 16,932 passengers, equal to 14,4524 statute
adults ; and during the same period had been detained
10 cases of fever, 10 of dysentery, 1 of measles, 3 of
cholera, and 1 of cutaneous. The greatest number of
the persons detained have been Germans. The general
health .of the town is represented as continuing to be
good, the cases of malignant cholera being few, and
principally confined to the German emigrants : and they
who have lately arrived in Liverpool appear to be in a
healthier condition than those who left Germany during
the month of September and beginning of October.
There have also passed through the German. Emigrants

good, the cases of malignant cholera being few, and
principally confined to the German emigrants : and they
who have lately arrived in Liverpool appear to be in a
healthier condition than those who left Germany during
the month of September and beginning of October.
There have also passed through the German Emigrants
Home at Bootle 214 male adults, 113 female adults, 53'
male children,
.34 female children, and 11 infants. The
establishment is stated to be in a healthy situation, and
kept in good order.

IN EE THOMAS.

This was the last examination meeting in the case of
Edward Thomas, builder of Ebury-street, Pimlico.
He owed to unsecured creditors, 3,015/. ; to those hold-
ing security, 2,9231. ; liabilities, 1,4851. Assets in good
debts and property, 172/. ; property held as security,
3,1271. There were no profits ; the lesses were put
down at 986/. ; trade expenses, 7761. ; domestic ditto,
3021. ; law charges, 4911. ; interest, 1331.
Mr. Lawson asked that the bankrupt should pass,
subject to an inquiry into the security under which his
property was held.

_
His Honour said the account was a very unsatisfac-
tory one. • The bankrupt owed 3,000 g., and had nothing
to give those creditors. He owed Mr. Silk 2,9001.,
and he had got the whole of the property ; at least, it
ought to be stated when this transfer took place.
Mr. A. Jones said the assignees had great hope of
setting :aside the security. The last deposit was made
only a fortnight before the bankruptcy.
The case was adjourned for six weeks.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE F. E. H. FOWLER. •
This was the certificate meeting. The bankrupt was
an architect and builder of Saville-row and Dalston.
The accounts extend from December, 1850, to August,
1853, and show the debts to be 9,3491., assets returned
at about 1,0001.
Mr. Murrough appeared for the assignees ; Mr, Law-
rence for a creditor, Mr. Linklater for the bankrupt.
Mr. Lawrance, in applying for an adjournment, said
that to meet 9,0001. of debt, there was in fact only 401.
of asset, all the property being held by, Sir Matthew
Wyatt, who had rendered the nkrupt assistance in his
building speculations. The creditors felt grieved at this
state of affairs, and the matter was brought before the
Court of Chancery.
Mr.- Murrough said the bankruptcy had occurred so
far back as 1850, and lie doubted whether any benefit
would arise to the estate by an adjournment.
His Honour directed an adjournment for -three
months.

ment, the commissaries of police, officers-de-
paix, &c., and on the platform, round the
fauteuil occupied by M. Pietri, were the secretary-
general, the chefs-de-division, the chef-du-cabinet,
and the heads of the different departments of the
establishment. The bands of the municipal guards
were present, and enlivened the scene by playing
a variety of airs. The Prefect of Police read a
very impressive and appropriate speech, which was
replied to by loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur
" Vive l'lmperatrice !"
An Imperial decree convokes for the 15th of

The second resolution was then put and agreed to.

Mr. Alderman WIRE moved the third resolution.
The long list of subscriptions which had been read made
it unnecessary for him to say anything beyond moving
the resolution, which was—

"3. That the following noblemen and gentlemen be
requested to act as a central committee to carry out the
objects in view, with power to add to their number."
[Here follows a long list of names of noblemen and
gentlemen.]
The resolution having been seconded by Mr. Tite was

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Wright at Last, the sequel to the Commencement of a
Bad Farce, is now superseded by another bagatelle en-
titled low to make Home .Happy.
It is Mr. Dabchick's misfortune to be united to a
jealous wife. Let him say what he may, or do what he
will, Mrs. Dabchick sees ground for suspicion. She is
especially on the qui vine when her bosom friend, Miss
Emily Snowden, pays her a visit ; for, although Emily
confides in her the secret of her attachment fur Frederick
Eldon, a clerk of Mr. Dabchick, she only recognises it
as the cover for a clandestine correspondence with his
employer. The good woman worries her husband well
nigh to death with her groundless imputations. He
can, at last, stand it no longer, and he kicks fiercely ;
whereat the lady is alarmed, and she resorts to the
soothing system to appease him. But the same kind
of suspicion which haunted her now haunts him ;
and as she read submission to be a proof of guilt,
he becomes liable to a similar impression. This con-
stitutes the substance of the farce.

Mr. Wright has certainly found in this little piece a
better vehicle than that of last week. His acting as the
unfortunate Dabchick, nervously afraid of his wife, and
resorting to all sorts of fidgetty contrivances to avert the
jealousy which, although she may caress him, he but too
well knows is as inflammable as a lucifer at the smallest
provocation, is very comic, and agreeably devoid of
exaggeration, notwithstanding the facilities the part af-
fords for broad and popular extravagance. Mrs. Frank
Matthews, as Mrs. Dabchick, perpetually vibrating be-
tween love and doubt, is never out of her element in
such personations ; and she bears the burden of the
farce very equally with Mr. Wright.
There was considerable applause last night when the
curtain fell ; and the piece will probably occupy a place
for some time to come in the bills of the house.
