THE VAUDEVILLE THEATRE

Neatness, elegant and comprehensiveness of pro-
gramme being the characteristics of this acceptable'
addition to the list of London theatres, it is not mat-
ter of surprise that during the short period of its
existence it has managed to push_ itself into the fore
most rank of metropolitan houses, as the nightly
appreciation of the publ.c shows it to have
done. The only alteration which has been- made in
the programme since the opening night is the with-
drawal of the farce. The bill of fare consequently
now consists of Mr. Andrew Halliday's comedy, " For
Love or Money," and Mr. Conway Edwards's bur-
lesque, "Don Carlos." Much care has been bestowed
upon both these pieces, the former of which, ably
supported as it is by Messrs. H. J. Montague, Geo.
Honey, and Henry Irving, together with Mesdames
Fawsitt, Lairs, Claire, and Cavendish, never fails to
divert the house by the strong current of humour
which runs through it. It would be difficult for the
burlesque to do anything but please, the jokes
being of a very fair order and the music well selected
If right men were wanting to contribute to the suc-
cess it always meets with, it would be found in the
acting of Messrs. Thomas and George Honey and
Miss Nelly Power, at all times hosts in themselves.
The performances are brought to a conclusion at the
convenient hour of eleven.

The exceptionally great interest felt in the Long-
ford election is testified to by the large number of votes
polled. The total given to both candidates was 2,136. At
no former contest have votes reached 2,000.

THE FRACAS IN A NIGHT HOUSE.—The sum-
monses against Asher and Charles Wertheimer for an
assault on Major Hope-Johnstone were appointed for hearing
yesterday at Marlborough-street Police Court, but none of
the parties were in attendance at the time appointed. Sub-
sequently Mr. Tyrwhitt was informed that they were pre-
sent, and some arrangements having been made between
them, the magistrate was requested to allow the hearing to
stand over for a week. As it transpired later that tho cross-
summons on Major Johnstone had not been served through
his having given an incorrect address, the magistrate ulti-
mately consented to this course being adopted.

MRS. LLOYD AND THE GREEK COURT.—Before
her departure from Athens, Mrs Lloyd having requested
the honour of expressing her gratitude to the Queen for the
sympathy she wn to her on the loss of her husband, the
King wrote that she would be received by the Queen with
pleasure. Her Majesty requested Mrs. Lloyd to bring
her daughter with her, and informed her that a Royal
carriage wc,uld be sent to the hotel to conduct her to the
palace. The Queen, dressed in mourning, received Mrs. Lloyd
with great cordiality, embraced her, kissed her, and, crying,
spoke to her words of consolation and sympathy. The King
requested the widow to inform him of anything that she
might be in want of, being willing to assist her in every
way, adding that his Government would bring in a bill
for a pension out of the public treasury. On taking her
leave from the King and Queen, Mrs. Lloyd received letters
for the Prince and Princess of Wales, and one from the
King to Queen Victoria. It is stated that Mr. Erskine has
been commanded by the Queen of England to express to
King George her gratitude for the sympathy which the
Greek nation and himself have expressed at the fate of her
subjects. Aion (Athens), April 30.
