THE PROCESSION ON THE THAMES.
TWENTY TiIOUSAND SAILORS ! 1!
0 ! never did Thames on his waters unfold
A sight so imposing—a movement so boil.
Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems—
Assembled en masse on the breast of the Thames.
'Twas astounding to witness the boats and the steamers,
The " bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers.
This aquatic procession would cast in the shade
The sights of Queen Bess with her best cavalcade.
The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim
A thrill from the heart, be it ever so tame.
And hundreds of thousands of different ranks,
Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks.
The spectacle seen was essentially one
To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON,
As the newly-clal seamen appeared fore and aft,
A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft.
The smiling spectator must surely have thought,
Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought.
Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view,
The sons of the ocean in " jackets of blue,"
Arid finding how MOSES and SON can equip,
They never feel inclined to " foresake the old ship."
The scene on the shore was essentially one
To remind the esserver of MOSE and SON",
Botk ladies and gentlemen show'd in their dress,
A beauty to rival the days of Queen Bess;
And never did Thames on his waters unfold
A sight So imposing—a movement so bold.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
It is a long time since the walls of thi4 theatre
were crowded as they were last night to witne,s the
performance of Mr. G. Brooke, as Richard In,
The crowd, in fact, was such as never should have
been admitted.

It is really refreshing to see some excitement in
the theatrical world in favour of a high performer of
our old school of tragedy. Mr. Brooke has now
fixed his position as an actor ; and it only remains
for him to do his part in keeping up the interest
which he has begot. Not that his perfJrmance last
night was by any means faultless. In the first place,
in the hypocritical passages be wore the mask so
that none could have mistak,-i it for anything- but a
mask. None could hive been deceived by so pal •
pale a villain in disguise, and the prob:Jiility of
the story is irni aired, besides the truthfulness of
the acting. Then again diehard in his first scenes
—a villain simply frum profound discontent with
the world and with himself, coupled with ambitious
promptings arising mainly out of such discontent—
should have been somewhat different from Richard
in his last scenes—thwarted in his purp..ses, excited
by individual hatred, and by all the madness of re-
venge. To give the first villanies all the intensity of
the last, is to diminish the effect of the force of cir-
cumstances, as they deepen the shadows of the cha-
racter. In the first part more peevishness and less
intensity should be given to Richard's hatred of the
world, to give full effect to that hatred at the close.
When, however, the circumstances of the plot de-
manded the exhibition of the hatred in all its fierce-
ness,
Mr. Brooke was truly magnificent, especially inhis under-tones, which gave all the concentration of
which ferocity is capable. It was impossible that
some remembrance of former actors should not be
awakened—it would even have been reprehensible
hp.d it been otherwise—but there was much which
Mr. Brooke made altogether his own, without vio-
lating truth. Where all was so excellent, we will
not particularise passages, but content ourselves with
congratulating the public on the acquisition of a per-
former in a line where such a performer was so much
wanted. Miss May made a good Lady Anne, and
the other parts were well supported.

A very important Scotch case was yesterday dis-
posed of in the House of Lords. All unpaid or dis-
honoured bills in Scotland are, upon being protested,
registered in a public record, and immediate
,execution
at once issues against the property *IA persons of the
several parties to the hill, precisely as it the holder had
obtained a verdict against them. Several persons who
started a mercantile newspaper, inserted as intelligence,
a statement of these protested bills, which they (b.
was granted by the Scotch Court, the
tamed from the public register. But an injunction
against them
twelve Judges dividing as eight to four upon the
question. The newspaper publisher appealed. and Lord
Cottenbam yesterday reversed the judgment of the
eight Judges, and concurred in opinion with the four,
,„„king at the same time several valuable remarks on the
rights of the press. It is, however, much to be re-
gretted,
that his Lordship was unaided by any other
Peer, for in the Parliament House of Edinburgh, it will
be regarded merely as the ( pirion of one English
Judge, upsetting the opm, • , ona .oi eight eminent Scotch
Judges. •
