TESTIMONIAL TO MISS HELEN FAUCIT.—Most of
our readers will remember that, upon the revival of the
Greek drama in Dublin some two years ago, a number
of gentlemen, distinguished in literature and art, and
admirers of Miss Helen Faucit 's noble impersonation of
Antigone, presented her with an address expressive of
their high estimation of her talents. With this address
was intended to have been presented an ornament, a de-
scription of which, from the design of Mr. Burton, we
gave on a former occasion. This ornament, which is in
the form of an antique brooch, has, owing to the costly
and elaborate nature of the workmanship upon it, been
necessarily a long time in the artist's bands. It has,
however, been completed for some months, and the delay
which has since occurred arose from the desire of the
committee to present it to Miss Faucit in person, on the
occasion of her next visit to Ireland. On Friday, there-
fore, it wag presented by a deputation from the sub-
scribers, when Miss Faucit expressed her extreme gra-
tification at the beauty of the ornament, and returned
thanks for what she considered the proudest memorial
of her professional career. The brooch is entirely of
native gold, and measures about three inches in dia-
meter. In the centre is an exquisitely formed figure
in high relief of Antigone bending over the urn of
Polynyces, set in a concave disc of white enamel, bearing
the word " Antigone" around it in ancient Greek charac-
ters. On either side of this medallion are tragic masks
of Antigone and Creon, entwined within the coils of
the Cadmian serpent, surrounded by a concave fillet, in
which are set three large emeralds of the finest water ;
the whole enclosed in a wreath of the sacred olive. In-
dependent of the classic elegance of the design, it is a
specimen of workman :hip, and that too of the highest
order, of which any country may be proud, and speaks
well for the present rising condition of the arts amongst
us. It reflects great credit on the house of Mr. West,
and particularly on Mr. Teare, who, we understand, is
the workman who has thus so successfully carried out
the original design. A suitable inscription, expressive
of the admiration which the lovers of the drama enter-
tain of Miss Helen Fancies embodiment of the highest
and noblest conceptions, both of our own and ancient
times, will, we hear, be engraved on the reverse of the
ornament. We recognised the brooch as clasping the
folds of Antigone's drapery on Saturday night last.—

SHOOTER'S -HILL POLICE.--The Commissioners of
the Metropolitan Police have determined to make this a
separate sub-division, and have therefore appointed Mr.
Derrig as Inspector at , the police-station at Shooter's-
hill, which division will comprise Eltham, Lee, Welling,
Woolwich-coma-on, and Shooter's-hill, fur which purpose
more constables have been appointed, the present number
beinc, insufficient to do the duty r- iired.
Mr. Charles J. Stuart had an interview with Earl
Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-eface.
