HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The revival of Mr. BuCkstone's comedy, " Married Life,"
has proved a great success ; and, although the cast is
nearly a new one, the broad fun of the piece is brought
out in the most remarkable manner. When the piece was
first produced the principal parts were supported by Mrs.
Glover, Mrs. Humby, Messrs. Farren, Strickland, O. Smith,
and Mr. Buckstone, /all [of whom, with the exception of
the talented author, have passed from the mimic stage;
but, aided by the services of Mr. and Mrs. Chippendale,
Mr. Howe, and Mrs. Frank Matthews, the piece now
~
goes," as it is termed, with rail its original effect. On
the first night of its representation, Mr. Buckstone appeared
as Mr. Henry Dove, and a more artistic representation
of true comedy, we well recollect could not have been
witnessed on the metropolitan stage. It is now embodied
with all that rich, racy humour, which has made Mr.
Buckstone one of the most popular favourites on the
English stage, and we sincerely hope he may be long
spared to pursue his professional career, a wish that will
find a warm response in the breast of every, admirer of
legitimate acting. The applause at the fall of the curtain
was enthusiastic, and, had it been the first night of the
representation of the piece, it could not have met with a
warmer welcome. " Home " has also been revived, with
Mr. Sothern and Mis Ada Cavendish, and, altogether,
the entertainment at the Haymarket is now one of the
most pleasurable description. The house was most bril-
liantly attended.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A MEDICAL
MAN.

At an adjourned inquest held to-day by Mr. Humphreys
on the body of Isabella Huson, aged 25 years, a married
woman, who was an actress in the Alhambra Theatre, in
Shoreditch, and who died recently after havingprematurely
given birth to a child, the jury returned a verdict of wilful
murder against some person unknown. It was thought
that her death had been caused by an attempt to
procure abortion. Inspector Brady informed the Court
that Mr. William Harding, a retired medical practioner,
has been arrested by the police, and remanded on the
charge of having caused the death of the deceased.

Her Majesty, with their Royal Highnesses Prin-
cesses Louise and Beatrice, attended by the ladies and
gentlemen of the Court, will, according to the most recent
arrangements, leave Balmoral on Friday, and return to
Windsor Castle, where they will arrive at nine o'clock on
Saturday morning.

"ALL THE YEAR norND."—The following fly-leaf
accompanies the current number published on Tuesday of
Charles Dicken's Alt the Year Round :—Personal—lt was
my father's wish, expressed in writing' only a week before
his death, that 1, his eldest son, and latterly his assistant
editor, should succeed him in the management of the
journal so long associated with his name. In accordance
with this clearly-expressed desire, and strong in the
hope inspired by so encouraging a mark of
his confidence, I addressed myself to the fulfil-
ment of the task which he appointed me to discharge.
It is intended that the management of All the Year Round
in the future, shall be based on precisely the same prin-
ciples as those on which it has, up to this time, been con-
ducted. The same authors who have contributed to its
columns in time past, will contribute to t hem still.
The same spirit which has in the past pervaded
its pages will, so far as conscientious endeavour may
render it possible, pervade them still. The same earnest
desire to advocate what is right and true, and to7oppose
what is false and unworthy, which was the guiding prin-
ciple of my father's career, and wbich has always charac-
terised his management of AU the Year Round will, I
most earnestly hope, continue to be apparent in
its every word. So much, then, being the
same, it may not be presumptuous in me to hope
that the same readers with whom this journal, and that
which preceded it, found favour for so many years, may
still care to see the familiar title page on their tables as
of old. With this brief explanation of the course I pro-
pose to adopt, and omitting all reference what-
ever to my own personal feelings in connec-
tion with the great sorrow which has rendered
this statement necessary, I leave the future journal
to speak for itself. "It is better that every kind of work,
honestly undertaken and discharged, should speak for
itself than be spoken for." These are the words with
which my father inaugurated the new series of AU the
Year Round. I cannot surely do better than repeat them
in this pIace.—CHARLES DICKENS, Jul.
