HAYMARKET THEATRE.--A more than ordinary de-
gree of excitement was created on Saturday night by an
unexpected incident which occurred during the per-
formance of M. Planche's popular extravaganza' en-
titled Mr. Buckstone's Ascent of Mount Parnassus. In
the scene where Mr. Caulfield personates the Spirit
of Mont Blanc, and usually adds te the amusement
of the audience by an attempt to mimic the voice
and manner of Mr. Albert Smith, the extraordinary
resemblance, after the delivery of a very few words,
produced a sensation which animated the audience to
uproarious laughter and applause. The gratification
of the public, however, was only surpassed by the as-
tonishment of Mr. Buckstone, on the stage, when, al-
most immediately after, it became evident that it was
Mr. Albert Smith himself, who, having supplanted Mr.
Caulfield as the Spirit of Mont Blanc, was making fun
of his own entertainment with singular bonhomie and
good humour. What led to this very curious improvi-
sation was not made public. It is enough to add that
every word uttered by Mr. Smith increased the hilarity
of the audience, and that, being unanimously called for
at the end of the scene, he asked pardon of the house
for the joke he had committed, and retired amid the
loudest applause.
THE DOCKYARD APPOINTMENT SCANDAL.—The Report
on Dockyard Appointments is valuable rather for the
facts of which it will form the official record than for the
opinion it expresses on those facts. We cannot help
considering that an exposure so scandalous would have
fully justified the committee in chronicling their de-
cision in stronger terms than they have employed. It
may be, however, that the subdued and entirely un-
impassioned tone adopted in the Report will have
more weight with candid men than a style of com-
position more proportioned, in popular estimation,
to the flagrancy of the offence and the iniquity of
the system. It may, also, very probably have been
present to the minds of the Commissioners that the
extra-judicial opinion of the public had, during the
whole progress of the inquiry, been so ably and
eloquently conveyed through the press, that they
were themselves additionally bound to preserve a sort
of judicial calmness and dignity in commenting on facts
and conduct the mero statement of which is their suffi-
cient condemnation.— Weekly News and Chronicle.

is said that the plan for a new
street, commencing from a point in the Strand, nearly
opposite to Essex-street, availing itself of the east side
of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and opening into Holborn, nearly
opposite to Red Lion-street, was prepared upwards of
two years since, and that a company is uow forming to
carry the plan into execution,—wilder.
