BRUSSELS, DEC. 7.—The Observateur having said
that there was a report of a disunion in the Cabinet
on the project of law respecting the reorganisation of
the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and three
of the Ministers would retire, the Moniteur of this
day says—
These reports are entirely without foundation; no
difference whatever exists in the Cabinet on the subject
of the questions now before it, or those which are an-
nounced to be brought forward."
The central section and two others have decided
upon a great reduction in the budget of war, but that
this reduction is impossible as the law of organisa-
tion now stands, and that that law must be revised.
None of the sections will adopt the budget of war as
proposed by Government. The sections are to be oc-
cupied this day in examining the projects of law rela-
tive to the treaty of commerce and navigation con-
cluded between France and Belgium.—Brussels Pa-
pers, Dec. 7.

BOW-STREE7.

A SPECIMEN OF A POST OFFICE SABBITARIAN.—
William Baugh, a letter•carrier in the Post-office,
was brought up on suspicion of stealing a letter, con-
taining half-a-crown and four postage stamps.
The prisoner, having been suspected of other rob-
beries, was under the observation of Peake, the
constable attachel to the General Post-office, who,
on going to his lodgings to investigate another
matter, discovered the fragments of the letter in
question scattered in a corner of the room. He col•
lected and examined them, and found that the letter
and enclosures had bedn sent by a lady at Chelsea to
a friend in the country.
The prisoner, who was known among his fellow-
servants as apparently a very religious man, Irving
family prayers daily, was remanded for further proof
of the non•delivery of the letter, upon which he will
be committed for trial.

Thoms Hickey was again examined, on suspicion
of stabbing William M'Carthy, an Irish recruit, in
June last.

The particulars have appeared in our columns. The
prisoner and deceased had a street quarrel and fight
on the 6th of June last, during which the latter
received a stab in his side, from the effect of which he
died. The prisoner escaped detection by changing
clothes with a man named Healy, who was given into
custody at the time, but discharged.
Constable 126 E now proved that the prisoner, on
being lately apprehended upon the charge, admitted
that hp inflicted the wound, expressed his deep con-
cern at the death of M'Carthy, and his regret that he
did not give himself up at the time.
He was Temanded for still further examination.

FRANCE.

M. de Falloux has received at Nice ;the reward
which he has so justly merited for his endeavours to
deliver over Italy and France to the tender mercies
of the parti-pretre. No sconor was it known that
the dcstroyer of liberty in Rome, the apologist of the
massacre of St. Bartholomew's, the patron of the
Inquisition, the wily Jesuit M. Alfred de Faßoux had
arrived in Nice, than the inhabitants assembled under
the windows of his hotel and greeted him with a
charivari if so energetic a character that he was
forced to give way before this unmistakeable, but
pacific, expression of popular indignation, and to quit
the city. From this it would appear that the Italians
are not so priest ridden as the French.

FA T HER WINTER
In Imitation of "Father William."
You an cold, Father Winter, a young man cried,
The sparrows sit mute on the spray ;
You are dull. Father Winter, and hazy, and damp,
What is good for your season, I pray
Near Aldgate's tall church, Father Winter replied,
Is a Mart which was never surpassed ;
And there you may purchase of Moses and Son
Warn clothes that will wear to the last.

-You are cold, Father Winter, the young man cried,
And the gardens no longer look gay ;
Now tell me what Overcoats Moses have got—
Are tey fit for your season, I pray ?
These coats, in their style, Father Winter replied,
Ar indee I of a very rare cast ;
An in cloth and in make you will find them tko beet,
No wonder they're selling so fast.
You are cold, Father Winter, the young man cried,
My wife was complaining to-day ;
And she asked me •o buy her a Caps and a Muff;
Of whom shall I buy them, I pray ?
Of Moses and Son, Father Winter replied,
The tradesmen whom all sh•uld engage;
Whose good and cheap Furs, like the Coats, will protect,
When the turbulent elements rage.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

It has been the custom for some time past, at this
theatre, to give as the last piece a revival of one of
our good old legitimate farces, and for this purpose
Mr. Webster has collected together one of the most
efficient little farce companies in the metropol.s.
This is a most laudable custom, and one in which we
trust Mr. Webster will persevere; for after witnessing
the broad comicalities of that prince of humourists
Wright, and the glorious unctious fun of Paul,
Bedford, it is positively " refreshing," in every sense of
the word to fall back upon a legitimate farce of the
olden time, performed in a manner which is not
discreditable to the proverbial neatness and ensemble
of French comedians. Last night the farce of
Animal Magnetism was revived, and never have we
seen this admirable little production of the genius of
Mrs. Inchbald more smoothly, or more efficiently,
rendered. Mr. Lambert, as the Magnetic ,Doctor,
was excellent ; Mr. Boyce acted the roving noble, not
Almaviva, but one of the same school, with spirit, and
Mr. Munyard was, if not the Barber, at least the
Figaro of the farce, and acted the part with true
comic gusto. The ladies were Miss Emma Harding
and Miss Ellen Chaplin. The former, who always does
full justice to any part, be it good or bad, entered
heartily into the fun and frolic of the farce. Miss
Chaplin acted the part of the waiting-maid most
efficiently. The farce was exceedingly well received,
and deservedly so, and we would recommend all
lovers of a good sterling old English farce to see
Animal Magnetism at the Adelphi.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
At this house, which opened for the season last
night, were revived Mr. Morton's vaudeville of the
Sentinel, and Mr. Planche's farce of the Garrick
Fever, both Olympic pieces, neither of which, we
believe, has been performed since the retirement of
Madame Vestris from the Wych-street management.
The former, which, it will be remembered, is a
dra-
matic anecdote touching the youth of Frederick the
Great, contains an effective part for Mr. C. Mathews,

HAY MARKET THEA TILE.

The Haymarket opened last evening for the season,
a season which, if success attends as it ever should
do, desert will be one of the most prosperous recorded
in the annals of even the successful management of Mr.
Webster at that most favourite of theatres, " the little
Theatre in the Haymarket." Tragedy will be the
great feature of the ensuing season ; Macready is
engaged to give two series of farewell performances,
and Mrs. Warner is engaged to perform with him.
At the conclusion of his first series, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kean w ill appear, and when their engagement
expires Mr. Macready will give his last series of
farewell performances previous to bidding a final
adieu to the stage. The company is very strong, and
including as it does Webster, James Wallack, Stuart,
Rogers, Miss P. Horton, the Keeleys, and a host of
other "legitimate" and excellent actors, there cannot
be a doubt but that Shakspere w ill be as
efficiently represented as we know he is
devoutly worshipped in this his favourite temple. But
although Melpomene will be worshipped here it will
not be to the exclusion of the gay Thalia, at whose
shrine Mrs. Nesbitt, the most fascinating of her pries-
tesses, will minister. We fully concur in the opinion
expreFsed by a contemporary, that " since the days of
Mrs. Jordan there has never been an actress display-
ing so much of the pure spirit and tone of comedy as
Mrs. Nesbitt ; there is a native truth in her sprightli-
ness, and hilarity in her generous, unsophisticated
animation, which individualizes everything she under-
takes; and there is also the right touch of feeling when
the passion or emotion of domestic portraiture calls for
its manifestation." She appeared last night in the
character of Constance in the Love Chow. Her ringing
laugh was as joyous and silvery as ever, her acting
as full of spirit, and she looked admirably.
her reception was most cordial, as was that of Webster,
who resumed his old character of Master Wildrake.
Miss Jane Mordaunt, who appeared at this theatre for '
the first time, made a most interesting Lydia, and
Mrs. W. Clifford gave a very good version of the
character of the Widow Green. The comedy was
followed by the National Anthem, in which Miss P.
Horton sung one of the solos most deliciously. The
farce of The Alarming Sacrce, in which Buckstone
and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appeared, followed ; then came
Twice Killed, with the Keeleys, who kept the house
in a roar ; and the performances concluded with A
Kiss in the Dark. The house was crowded to excess,
and the audience were enthusiastic. A more brilliant
opening Mr. Webster himself' could not have desired.
During the recess the theatre has been thoroughly
cleansed and rc-decorated, and: its interior now pre-
sents a very brilliant appearance. The arrangements
fur the accommodation of the visitors to the boxes are
most comfortable.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Geneva states that a duel has taken
place near Lausanne, between Sergeant Boichot, the
Socialist representative for Paris, and a Spanish
officer of the Regiment of Isabella Segunda. It ap
pears, that whilst on board a steamboat between
Nyon and Lausanne, Sergeant Boichot spoke in dis-
respectful terms of the young Queen of Spain
and Donna Maria of Portugal. Count Moreno, of
the above•mentioael regiment, contradicted in strong
terms what was stated by Boichot. The latter
repeated what he had said, and added, " I hope
that the Spaniards will some day prostrate them-
selves before Lola Montes and choose her for
Queen." The Count instantly demanded satis-
faction for this language. A meeting was arranged
for the same evening in the wood of Greni, on the 1
brink of the lake. Tha Count was attended by an i
ollict-r of Dragoons, and a colonel in the service of I
the King of Wurtemberg. Sergeant Boichot had as
seconds N. Felix Pyat and Dr. Perrin, of Mont-
toui. They fought with pistols at a distance of
twenty pacts. No injury was done at the first shots.
On tlle second fire the Count was severely wounded
in the shoulder and neck, and at the same moment
Sergeant Boichot received a ball between the ribs of
the left side. He was so severely wounded that it
became necessary to carry hiaa from the ground on a
mattress.
