rather unusual during the early sitting of the House
—he wished to put a question to the Hon. Gentleman
the Member for Kendal (Mr. Glyn), the chairman of
the North Western Railway Company, on a matter of
the utmost public importance, as it had reference to the
working of that line—he alluded to the dispute between
the engine-drivers and the directors. As the Hon. Gen-
tleman was not in his place on Friday when the question
was put to the President of the Board of Trade, he
wished to ask him whether such arrangements had been
made by the company as would secure the proper work-
ing of the line and the safety of the public?
Mr. GLYN said, I am extremely obliged to my Hon.
Friend that he has given me an opportunity of
answering the questior. I regret I was absent on
Friday, when the question was put to the President of
the Board of Trade. I have much satisfaction in being
enabled to inform my Hon. Friend and tfohretHhoonesffieetiheatt

be anxious to know that no surrender was intended
to the men who have taken this rash step.—(Hear,
to take place on the part of the Company
hear.) I ought to mention perhaps that the whole of
swtwith
the proceedings that have taken place have been dictated
by a club, which, yesterday morning, transmitted orders
to the other lines in the north for all the engineers em-
ployed by the North Western, who subscribed to the
club, to leave the service. This morning, lam happy to
say, that, through the measures taken by the Superin-
tendent, this attempt has been frustrated, and all the
men in the north remain in their employment. If I did
not wish to trespass further upon the time of the House,
I might tell the House of tricks played by the men who
have left the service, but having got rid of them I have
no doubt the public service will be conducted with the
usual regularity and punctuality.
The matter then dropped.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

He who would attempt once more to criticise La
Fiylia del Reggimento, performed on Saturday, would
most probably but reiterate what he said before. Mdile.
Lind, however, does not '• repeat herself ;" transient as
the changes are with which she varies the music, the
dramatic interpretation, and the fioriluie, they are con-
stant and palpable to every constant observer, and the
impression they produce on the audience most striking.
Hence does it arise that an hour before the theatre
opens, at this advanced ,season of the year, we behold
a crowd of expectant auditors stretching across the
street. On Saturday particularly the concourse wa-
immense. Such a state of things, on the 12th of
August, is unprecedented in the annals of the opera,
the scene of excitement being a curiosity in itself
most interesting to witness. The smallest and best
portion of Outline, with the Pas de ranbre, was re-
vived for the triumph of Cerito ; whilst, for that of
Rosati, the I'as de Thea was given between the acts 01
the opera. Thus was the quintessence of amusement
offered to the audience, and all was over at half-past 11 ;
whilst formerly to "fill the House, in the best of times, it
was necessary to superadd opera to opera, divertissement
to ballet, forming an endless and heavy bill of fare,
which surfeited and tired out all persons of taste. The
troupe of her Majesty's Theatre will be dispersed in a
few days. Lablache goes to the Festivals, Gardoni and
Coletti to St. Petersburgh, where they are engaged for
the Imperial Theatre. Jenny Lind will cross over to
Dublin, with the strongest ompany that ever went on a
tournee. She will be accompanied by. Belletti, Heger,
F. Lablache ; by Balfe, Piaui, Lavigne, Zeis, Remusat,
Langlois, Nadaud. with a chosen chorus, &c. His Royal
Highness Prince Leopold of Naples honoured the per-
formances with his. presence. The Queen's box was
occupied by Miss Lascclles, Miss Henrietta Lascelles,
and the Hon. Miss Ellis, Mr. Lascelles, Mr. Claude Las-
celles, and the Hon. Mr. Ellis. The Duke of Welling-
ton, the Marchioness of Douro, Lord and Lady Charles
Wellesley, and Lord Burghersh, were also present.
Among the audience we observed his Excellency the
Russian Minister, the Baroness de Brunnow, and Mdlle.
Olga de Lochner ; his Excellency the Hanoverian
Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, the Duke
of Newcastle and party, the Marquis of Done;;a11, the
Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementiutt Vil-
