DRURY LANE THEATRE.

No sooner does this theatre lose one attraction than
the lessee gives it another, and as it is generally of a
very opposite nature, he`manages in this way not only
to avoid monotony in the entertainments, but satisfies
all kinds of tastes. The 'engagement of Mr. Brooke,
the tragedian, terminated on Saturday ; and on Monday
Mr. Smith presents to the public a troupe of very
extraordinary jugglers who have lately arrived from the
United States, and whose performances exceeded any-
thing that has been seen in this country for years.
They consist of eight individuals and an interpreter,
whose names on paper look like a series of insults
to the British language. They are introduced in a
sort of entertainment entitled the Feast of the Dragon,
and are supposed to exhibit in presence of the
Emperor and mandarins at Pekin. Their performances
consist of tumblings, tossing of balls and knives, sleight-
of-hand tricks, &c.—and a very dexterous exhibition of
knife-throwing against a board, with a person standing
before it. This last, perhaps the most adroit and mar-
vellous performance of the troupe, is the least interest-
ing, as the danger looks imminent, and, indeed, the
projectiles are flung with such force, and go so little
beyond the mark, that every throw suggests an
escape from death. The female part of the audience
were evidently terrified. The most finished and
perfect feat of the evening was the tossing of three
knives, and the waving of a large fan between
them as they revolved in the air, which, to the
uninitiated, was quite inconceivable. Two tricks also
are entitled to notice as being unusually clever—that
where a basin filled to the brim with water was pro-
duced from beneath a tablecloth, there being to all ap-
pearance no possible means of conveyance from any
source ; and the swinging of a tea-cup, also filled with
water, in a variety of revolutions, without spilling a
drop. A specimen of a Chinese concert, in the shape
of a quartet for a gong, cymbals, and two indescribable
stringed instruments, was snore novel than agreeable.
The house was full, and the audience appeared much
gratified with the exhibition, Some of the Chinese
artistes were honoured with a recall, which they obeyed
and acknowledged with real grace. The performance
of the troupe was preceded by the new opera, Leonie,
and followed by The Star of the Rhine, a ballet in two
tableaux.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

------ -
A letter of the 22d inst. from Copenhagen states
thtt on the 20th Sir Charles Napier arrived there
in the Valorous steamer, Captain Buckle. The
Danes were excessively pleased with him for taking
off his hat on landing at the Custom-house stairs.
Sir Charles then paid a visit to Mr. Buchanan, our
Minister, and with him proceeded to pay his re-
spects to the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs.
II is said that the King of Denmark refused to
see the gallant admiral, on a plea of ill-health, but,
in reality, from an indisposition to offend the Rus-
sian party, which is rather strong there. On the
morning following Sir Charles Napier returned in
the Valorous to Mingo Sound, and it was expected
that the fleet would enter the Baltic on the 23d,
and pass the Great Belt in a day or two.
Tlo Ministry is in a wretched state, but still
they day in in spite of their unpopularity, which
has iicreased tenfold since they refused to leave
office,

Th► Diet has voted a sum of 400,000 rixdollars
as anadditional war credit, and this money is to
be sVnt by a Ministry in which the Chambers
have manimously declared that they have no con-
fidence• Verily there is " something rotten in the
Stateof Denmark."

A elegraphic7despatch, dated Nyborg, March
27, sop The fleet under Admiral Napier, 23

vessels in all, anchored here yesterday, and has just
sailed for Kiel. The weather is fine."

PASSAGE OF THE GREAT BELT.

By telegraph we learn from Kiel, also under date
of yesterday, that yesterday morning the fleet, 23
strong, had all passed the Great Belt, steering for
that port.

Tile Miranda was still taking soundings in the
Baltic.

A letter from Stockholm, 17th, says :—" Coun-
cillor of State Wollenherz yesterday announced to
the Diet that 21 European and two American go-
vernments have replied to the notification of the
neutrality of Sweden. The Brazilian government
is the only one that has not sent an answer.
Greece and Tuscany have confined themselves to
acknowledging the notification of the declaration.
The other governments have approved of it. The
recognition of Russia is dated the 7th, two days
after the audience given by the Emperor to Gene-
ral Nording, the Swedish ambassador."

PRESTON, March 27.—The income of the Weavers'
Committee yesterday was larger than on any former

ing to about 2,400/. This was exclusively for the relief
of the unemployed, the subscriptions to the " Delegates'

tributions were the following : Blackburn, 7051.;
Stockport, 300/. ; Over Darwen, 151/. ; Ashton-under

this effect, that as the Masters' Association had adjourn-
ed for three months, the delegates pledged themselves, on
behalf of their constituents, to continue their subscrip-
tions to the Preston operatives for four months.
Open-air meetings were held outside the town yester-
day afternoon and to-day. It was announced that the
committee delegates had gone to Liverpool to answer the
charge preferred against them, if the trial should be pro-
ceeded with at the present assizes.

SOUTHAMPTON AND BIRMINGHAM.

- -
Arrangements are being made for completing a line of rail-
way communication between Southampton, Birmingham,
and the north. The engineer of the Great Western Com-
pany has been instructed to lay down a third rail on each
line of broad gauge between Oxford and Basingstoke, and
is also proceeding with the construction of a junction line
at Didcot on the mixed gauge. Thus, a double line of
railway on the narrow gauge will be completed between
Southampton and Birmingham. The trains will run over
the South-Western Railway from Southampton to Basing-
stoke, they will then pass over the Basingstoke branch of
the Great Western to Reading, and thence over a portion
of the main line of the Great Western on the mixed gauge
to the Oxford and Birmingham Railway, also on the mixed
gauge.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
ALLOWANCE TO BANKRUPTS-IN RE WHEELER7-7-PRO.

. _
MISSORY NOTE-IMPORTANT QUESTION.
This bankrupt was described as of Richmond, baker,
and to-day was appointed for his last examination. An
application was made for an allowance to the bankrupt
to defray the charges of Mr., Watson, (Basinghall-street,)
the accountant to the estate.
The solicitor to the assignees objected, on the ground
that the bankrupt who had been employed by the
assignees to keep open the business had deducted 151.
for his maintenance, which they deemed sufficient.
Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, said that the as-
signees must have employed some one, and it would be
hard to deprive the bankrupt of the fruits of his labour,
which had been by no means light.
His Honour said that the allowance was only intended
for the bankrupt's support during the time he was pre-
paring his accounts and assisted his creditors. No fur-
ther allowance could be made.
Mr. Linklater—Then we shall have to bring an action
against the assignees.
A CURIOUS POINT ON A PROMISSORY NOTE.

A proof was tendered on a promissory note, date so
far back as 1842, and the question was, whether, as it
was payable on demand, it was taken out of the Statute
of Limitation, by Lord Tenterden's Act, by the payment
of interest within six years.
His Honour, after referring to cases, held that the
proof could be admitted.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF

PORTLAND.

A telegraphic despatch, received from Doncaster to-
day, states that the Duke of Portland died on Monday,
at Welbeck, near Worksop, at 4.50 P.M.
For some time the health of the Duke had been seri-
ously declining, and great anxiety had been felt by his
family, his many friends, and the numerous tenantry to
whom he had always been a moat generous and liberal
landlord. Within the last few days his Grace became
much worse, and a disposition to fits of fainting gave
great alarm to his medical attendants. His daughters,
Lady Harriet, and Lady Mary Bentinck, and Lady
Howard de Walden, and Lady Charlotte Denison,
were at Welbeck Abbey. The Marquis of Titchfield,
who is himself very much indisposed, had been sent for
from London, and his remaining son, Lord Henry Ben-
tinck, had also been informed of his illness. His Grace
was in his 86th year, and was one of the few remain-
ing political characters contemporary with Burke,
Wyndham, Fox, and the great men of that day.

THE BLACK SEA.

A despatch from Odessa of the sth states that a
division of the Russian fleet had just left Sebastopol
with the object of provisioning and reinforcing the
Russian forts on the Circassian coast. Letters from
Constantinople also state that, on the 13th, two
steamers of the allied fleets had come in with in-
formation that the Russians were in the act of
conveying 12,000 men to Redout Kale.

SHREWS3URY AND CHESTER.

The capital account of this company ending the 31st of
December last shows that 1,474,1371. had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of 62,624/. The
revenue account for the half-year shows that 52,156/. had
been received, and 28,5331. expended, leaving a balance of
23,6221., which, added to 2071. from the last account, makes
23,8291. to the credit of revenue. From this sum is de-
ducted. 12,1281. for interest on loans and contract debts,
leaving 11,7011. applicable to dividend.

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.
The report of the directors recommends a dividend at
the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending
the 31st of December last, payable on the 19th of April
next. The increase of the revenue in 1853 over that of
1852 amounted to 15,578/. There is also a gradual im-
provement in the receipts from the Alston branch. The
cost of two new engines of the largest class, and the ex-
penses attending the restoration of. three bridges, which
sustained extensive injury by the heavy floods in 1852,
have been defrayed out of revenue. The revenue account
for the half-year ending the 31st of December last showed
that 141,0831. had been received, and 63,0401. expended,
leaving 26,4941. for interest on loans, 5,6801. for dividend
on preference shares, and 45,8671. for the ordinary divi-
dend. The expenditure on capital account amounted to
1,885,1951.

MARLBOROITGIL-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

AREFORMED CHARACTER.—CharIes Henwood, Patrick
Ryan, and Charles Bush, three notorious thieves were
broughtl before Mr. Hardwick, charged with attempting
to pick the pockets of several ladies in Oxford-street.
Sergeant Smith, F division, stated that yesterday
afternoon he was in Oxford-street, when he observed the
prisoner Bush attempt a lady's pocket, while the other
two prisoners were covering him ; Bush not succeeding
• in his attempt, left that lady, and went to two others,
followed by Henwood and Ryan. The latter prisoners
looked round and caught sight of witness, when they
separated, and, Henwood and Bush went towards the
circus. Witness went after them, and having procured
the assistance of Coffee and 75 F, they were taken into
custody. Witness followed Bush and arrested him.
Ryan was a convicted thief, and Henwood was a well-
known companion of thieves, as was also Bush.
Coffee, F division, said he was present at the sessions
about 6 months ago, when the prisoner Ryan was sen-
tenced to 6 months' imprisonment.
Bowling, 75 T, recognised Henwood as having been
charged with highway robbery, but in consequence of
the insufficiency of the evidence, he was discharged.
Ryan admitted having been sentenced for 6 months,
and had only just come out. He could assure his wor-
ship that he was a reformed character, and had given
up his evil ways.
The other two denied attempting to pick pockets.
Mr. Hardwick, however, was of a different opinion,
and committed Henwood and Ryan for 3 months, and
Bush for 2 months, to the House of Correction.

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.

The report of the directors recommends a dividend at
the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending
the 31st of December last, payable on the 19th of April
next. The increase of the revenue in 1853 over that of
1852 amounted to 15,5781. There is also a gradual im-
provement in the receipts from the Alston branch. The
cost of two new engines of the largest class, and the ex-
penses attending the restoration of. three bridges, which
sustained extensive injury by the neavy floods in 1852,
have been defrayed out of revenue. Tho revenue account
for the half-year ending the 31st of December last showed
that 141,0831. had been received, and 63,040!. expended,
leaving 26,4941. for interest on loans, 5,6801. for dividend
on preference shares, and 45,8671. for the ordinary. divi-
dend. The expenditure on capital account amounted to
1,885,1951.

TURKEY.

CON STANTINOPLE, Sept. 21.—This afternoon that
noble ship the Himalaya left the Bosphorus
for Kalamita Bay, in the Crimea, after having
embarked the Scots Greys at Kuteli, in the
Bosphorus—as fine a regiment as was ever
mounted. Both horses and men are in excellent
condition, and eager to reach the scene of action.
They will be at the Crimea by Saturday morning,
and probably may be engaged the day following, as
events are coming to a crisis. Both men and officers
are enthusiastic, and any person who saw those
splendid troopers and their chargers as I did to-day
may well augur favourably of their exploits ; it
will certainly try Russian mettle to stand against
them.
All the accounts from the Crimea are most fa-
vourable—provisions in abundance, and the people
of the country willing and eager to supply the
troops. Horses and water, however, are scarce.
The former are being sent, and the latter will soon
be found in abundance, as about 10 miles on the
way to Sebastopol the country is intersected by a
stream which, it is said, the Russians purpose de-
fending.
There is little of interest to report to-day from
Constantinople.
London, England, 1854-10-04

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. 30.
The Cologne Gazette has the following, under
date of Vienna, 29th ult. :—" It is now posi-
tively stated on good authority that the ne-
gotiations which have taken place between the
Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, on the subject of
the propositions to be made to the Diet on the
Eastern question, have arrived at a satisfactory
result, the Austrian Cabinet being definitively
satisfied with the declarations made by Prussia.
It is said that the note which signifies the as-
sent of Austria was sent yesterday to Berlin.
The Prussian views and princip'es, which have
consequently now acquired preponderance, are, it
is said, summed up in the following points :
Prussia engages to admit as the bases of eventual
negotiations For peace the four demands of guarantee
of the Western Powers, and to maintain and sup-
port them morally with Russia. Prussia will also
employ all her military force to prevent Russia
from making any new hostile invasion of the prin-
cipalities, and to defend, conformably to the treaty
of April, and in concert with the whole of Ger-
many, the Austrian territory against any attack
from Russia.

Yesterday (28th) afternoon it was whispered
that two forts had been taken by the Allies, and in
the evening several Greek firms, which are noto-
rious for their caution, bought up all kinds of
stock at an advance of and 1 per cent. At ten
o'clock this morning neither Count Buol, Lord
Westmoreland, nor M. de Bourqueney had re-
ceived any direct intelligence confirming the re-
port; but nevertheless a telegraphic despatch has
reached this city, in which mention is made not
only of the fall of Fort Constantine, but of a pitched
battle, and the subsequent surrender of Sebastopol.
HALF-PAST 1 O'CLOCK.—The following has just
been received as official :
" On the 22d Prince Menscbikoff was attacked on the
plain of Kalantai by the allies, and totally beaten, after
a sanguinary battle, which lasted some hours. The
fugitive Russians were pursued to the intrenchments
before Sebastopol. On the 23d Sebastopol fell into the
hands of the allied forces."

OXFORD.

Although it was understood in this city on Saturday
night that a glorious victory had'been achieved by the
allied Powers in the East, it was not generally known until
Monday morning. As soon as the pleasing intelligence
was spread, the greatest excitement and joy pervaded the
whole city. Large flags waved from the tower of the city
church, as well as from the tower of St. Thomas's Church,
and the union jack was hoisted on the top of the county
gaol, whilst the bells of St. Thomas and other churches
rang merry peals. The announcement on Tuesday of the
brilliant and important capture of Sebastopol through the
same channel, caused additional joy and delight to be ma•
uifested by all classes of her Msjesty's subjects in Oxford.
An illumination, as soon as the official news is known, is
talked of.
