PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of (Ammons.

Last night the performances at this elegant little
theatre were "by special desire." It was expected that
the Queen would have honoured the house with her
presence on the occasion. Her Majesty, however, did
not fulfil that general expectation. Prince Albert and
suite, nevertheless, attended, arriving shortly before the
conclusion of the excellent new farce Poor Pitiienddy,
which commenced the performances of the evening.
The Beggar's Opera (L'Opera du Gueux, as it wit,
styled in the French version, produced successfully in
Paris) followed, and was, in all respects, admirably
represented. Miss Kathleen Fitzvvilliam won repeated
and hearty applause in the character of Polls
Peachum, and Madame Vestris was likewise
very effective as Lucy Lockit. Mr. Harrison
wits again an able Captain Macheath. The Prin. e
was evidently much interested and amused by this
popular and clever play, which passed off with great
Mai. Its points and designs continue to tell with the
multitude. It is still readily recognised as a laughatd-
-ridicule of the musical Italian drama, and as what Swift
well described as a " Nowgate Pastoral." Congreve
gave the opinion; before its production, that it would
" either take greatly or be damned confoundedly." It
is needless to indicate which of the two fates it incurred.
Certainly, last night, it " took greatly," and delighted
the audience from 'first to last. The entertainments
closed with a repetition of. the laughable extravaganz
of Blue Beard—very efficiently " re-wived" at this
theatre. The Prince Consort quitted at the termination
of the opera. It should be mentioned, too, that Mr.
Harrison had to lead Madame Vestris and Miss Fitz
william .before the curtain at the end of the performance,
in obedience to the. earnest demands of the company.
The theatre was crowded.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 19.
ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.

Order for Committee read ; Motion made, and Question
proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word "That"
to the end of the Question, in order to add the words " this
-House will, upon this day six months, resolve" itself into the
said Committee," instead thereof :—Question put, " That the
word+ proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."
The House divided :

INTEI4LIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Dragon steam-
frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, is ordered to be expedited
in her re-equipment as much as possible.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. W.
Beauclerk, is ordered to make good her defects as soon
as possible, and when ready for sea to proceed succes-
sively to Torbay. Plymouth, and Cork, in search of Rear-
Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., and join his squadron.
As she has little or no defects she will only have to
complete fuel, and will, most probably, sail to-morrow
morning.
The Kingfisher, 12, Commander F. W. Horton, was
paid (If to-day, and the Collingwood. SO, Captain R.
Smart, K.H., will:be paid off to morrow.
The:Sharpshooter replaced the Rifleman in dock yes-
terday afternoon, the knee of the Sharpshooter's head
having been knocked on one side by her collision with
the Pilot brig on Saturday. The Sharpshooter refused
to answer her helm, which caused the collision.
THE SQUADRON OF EXERCISE.—TORBAI, JULY 18.—
Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120 guns, Captain S.
C. Dacres, bearing the fig of Rear-Admiral of the
White, Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., with the following
squadron, in three divisions, under his command, en-
tered this bay last evening at sunset. The Prince
Regent, 90 guns. Captain W. F. Martin, C. 8.; the Bel-
lerophon, 80, Captain IL L. Baynes, C.B. ; the Blen-
heim, steam line-of-battle-ship, of 55 guns on two decks,
Captain Chad, C.B. (of the Excellent) ; the Amphion
screw steam-ship, of 36 guns, Captain W. J. Williams;
the Tweed, 16 guns, Cammander Lord Francis Russell;
the Helena, 16 guns, Commander G. W. Smith ; the
Frolic, 16 guns, Commander N. Vansittart ; the Pilot,
16 guns, Commander E. M. Lyons ; and the Racer,
16 gnns, Commander (acting) Bacon. All anchored, and
Sir Charles Napier entertained the respective captains
on board his flagship. To-day the whole will sail for
Plymouth.
No important evolutions have taken place since the
squadron sailed from Portsmouth. The four sloops,
Helena, Frolic, Tweed, and Pilot, have had trials in
sailing, in which the latter outstripped her compeers
very considerably. The old seventy-four Blenheim, in
her new character of a double-banked frigate, with a
funnel and other appurtenances of a steamer, " asto-
nished the natives" of this place ; she is well spoken of
on board, and keeps up well with the others.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Stromboli, Commander
Lord Amelius W. Beauclerk, arrived at Portsmouth on
Tuesday night, from the Tagus, whence she sailed on
the 13th inst., leaving in those waters the French gun-
nery frigate Iphigene. A Spanish corvette, which took
the regiment that had revolted at Saxille to Cadiz from
Lisbon, and sought refuge in thg,Putuguese territory,
sailed three days before the SiOrnElioli, as ditra Russian
war-steamer. The steam-packet Merlin, Lieutenvnt
Turner commanding, had arrived in the Tagus frinn
England before the Stromboli-Alled. The Stromboli is
re-fitting with all dispatch at Portsmouth, to follow the
squadron of exercise.

Victory, named John Woodford, whilst practising his
duties, fell from aloft into the see, and was killed, having

one, the band of the ship playing the dead march. and
all the apprentices of the navy at the port (200) follux-
ing the remains of their unfortunate shipmate.

bii Mr. Samuel Bendry Brooke; and, in proposing
Prosperity to the institution," that gentleman stated

ells ,se for which the institution had been e4iecially es-
Oibliz,to.d. In the course of the evening warty esedlent
aid interesting speeches were delivered, particularly
tn.,se by the grateful recipients of the benefits of the in.
firmary, which is really so great a boon to the
working classes that it is astonishing that it does
not rice ire a grea!sr share of the patronage of this be-
lieved nt.

Six LIVES LOST.—A party of nine individuals had
been drinking during Saturday night and Sunday morn-
ing in the Cealbill, Leith, and had resolved to eiljoy a
sail in the Frith. Accordingly. about five o'clock on
Sunday mornieg, the whole party embarked in a boat
belonging to the sloop Lark, and set off for the roads.
When the boat was a little to the east of the Martell°
Tower, two of the party quarrelled, which resulted in a
scuffle, when the others interfered to restore harmony.
The violent conduct of the combatants, however, and _ thee
imprudent exertions of the intoxicated party, caused the
boat to upset, when the whole of them were
and
0,0
into the sea. One of the men swam ashore,
accident othvrs were picked up. The remainder were drowned.n
