VICTORIA.

Another novelty, entitled Barnard, the Victim Pa-
triot; or, the Double Fratricide, was produced at this
theatre on Monday. The author has founded his drama
on the " Glorious Revolution of July," at that period
when the self-willed Charles the Tenth endeavoured to
bring back the monarchie of seventeen hundred, which
had become obnoxious to the people. The hero of the
present drama is one Barnard Donay (Mr. E. F. Saville)
who is induced to join the insurgents. This he does, and
in the melee which ensues he kills his brother; he is
by this means unnerved, and in the course of the action
is wounded. He appeals to the Chamber of Deputies for
his boni; seated in the chair, and presiding over the
Chamber, he finds Francois Bardin (Mr. W. Searle) a
duelist and a coward, who insults the wounded patriot,
and they are about to fight, when the cowardice of Bar
din induces him to apologise ; this he does, but is obliged
to leave the Chamber. Alter a variety of vicissitudes,
hunger and the pain of his wound accelerates his death,
and he expires in the arms of his wife, within an hour of
the year, by which means she is entitled to the pension,
as ordained by the Chamber of Deputies. Mr.
Saville, as the enthusiastic patriot, acquitted him-
self in his usual style, and apparently much to the
gratification of the company present. Mr. Searle, it
is needless to say, was perfect in the delineation of the
ferocious revolutionist, who is at heart a coward and a
braggart. We have before spoke in terms of praise of
this gentleman's acting, which is, if possible, becoming
more successful every evening. The other principal
characters were sustained by Mr. T. Fredericks (Pierre
Donay), Mr. Ranoe (Valton), Mr. E. G. Burton (Theo-
dosius John Butler), Mrs. G. Lee (Madame Donay),
Miss Treble (Mariette), &c., in a very creditable man-
ner. Some excellent scenery was also introduced,
among the chief of which were " Suburbs of Paris,
and Road to La Vendee, the Barrier, and distant coun-
try," " Hall of Deputies," &c. The house was well
attended.

FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S THEA TRE.

Frequently as we have seen Dejazet in the character
of the young Duke, in Les Premieres armes de Richelieu,
never did we see her act the part with more spirit
than she did last evening. Every point told,
and her manner of giving the couplets was pefectly
epigrammatic. She was most efficiently supported by
Mademoiselle St. Marc, as the Duchess, who looked and
acted the part a merveille. Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince George,
and attended by the Baroness Ahlefeldt and Mr. Edmund
St. John Mildmay, honoured the performances with
their presence.

NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO
MR. COBDEN.
The Times of Saturday contains a statement that a meet-
ing has been held in this town, for the purpose of setting
on foot a testimonial to Mr. Cobden. This meeting was
strictly r►este and it was wished that what passed should
not at present transpire through the press. But as the state-
ment alluded to is in some material points incorrect, we
have been supplied with the following particulars, which may
be relied upon. The following is the statement of the Times:
" Letters from Manchester state that the principal mem-
bers of the Anti-Corn-law League held a meeting on the
3d, and decided that in the event of the Bill for the importa-
tion of corn being passed by the Legislature, their staff
should be abandoned, a statement of their funds should be
rendered, the League paper should be disbanded, their
number should be reduced to six, and a subscription by the
general public should be set on foot, to raise 100,0004 for Mr.
Cobden." - -

The meeting in question had no connexion whatevter with.
the League, and consequently could not decide a
all
re-
specting the proceedings of that association. Indeedthere
is at present no committee or council competent to determine
on the course marked out by the Times, though it may
pro-
bably be recommended for adoption. The object of the
meeting was simply to decide on the preliminary steps for a
national tribute to lir. Cobden. There was a small number
of gentlemen of this town present, who were met by a depu-
tation from Liverpool. An interchange of opinions took
place upon the subject. A committee was named, consisting
of gentlemen of all shades of political opinion, including
some of the leading Conservatives of the town, who had ex-
pressed themselves favourable to the object. No ultimate
amount was named as a sum to be raised, but an opinion was
expressed that 150,0001. or 200,000/. might be obtained for
this object, if it met generally with the hearty support of the
Conservative as well as the Liberal party. Promises of con-
tributions, it was announced, bad been received from some of
the most distinguished members of the Legislature.-111un-
