THE EXHIBITION.

PUBLIC AMUsENIEN'YS.—NEW lIIVPODROME
AT KENSINGTON.

The Royal Commiz wooers have received innumerable
applications from theatrical and equestrian 'managers,
snow-folks, &c., for permission to erect in Hyde-park,
during the " World's Fair," temporary theatres,
circuses, shows, and booths, but the Executive Corn-
tnittee have positively refused all such requests
Among other managers who petitioned the Board
was Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astley's, for a site in
the park for the erection of a hippodrome, after the
style of the celebrated one in the Champs Elysees at
Paris, but on a more extended scale, and for which pri-
vilege he would contribute to the funds of the Com-
missioners five hundred guineas, but the offer was
declined. . Mr. Batty has since become lessee of an ex-
tensive plot of ground admirably adapted for the purpose
at Kensington, near to the turnpike, and within a
few minutes' walk of the Crystal Palace, where a large
number of workmen are now actively employed on the
works, and from the estimates, models, and plans fur-
nished by the architects, surveyors, builders, artists, and
machinists, it would appear that the Hippodrome will
cost little less than 6,0001. Mr. Batty had previously
made several extensive purchase of tborough-bred
horses, as at least eighty will be required for this new
curriculum, the ordinary trained hordes for the circle not
being adapted for this peculiar description en enteil-
tairiment, so popular on the continent, but so little
known in this country, and he is now eneging a corps
of dashing ecuyeres from Paris and the other prin-
cipal continental cities, as female equestrians take
the most prominent parts in the bold and daring
sports of the Hippodrome, and likewise a troupe of
fearless riders, native and foreign, for the Roman
chariot races, Olympian Games, &c. Mr. Batty, how-
ever, will not be without rivals, as several well-known
equestrian managers are also in search of sites for
Hippodromes. Offers have been made to Mr. Wardell,
the director of Vauxhall Gardens by a French
troupe of riders, for the use of the Waterloo ground
for a day entertainment, similar to the one produced
some years since by the late Mr. Ducrow, but which
Mr. Wardell declined. The vacant plot of ground
in the York-road, Waterloo-road, with the railway
in the rear, has also been eagerly, sought after, but i. is
understood that the South- Western Oornpany, whose
property it is, have declined to negotiate for an such
purpose; in fact, the greatest possible difficulty has been
experienced by speculators in obtaining ground in any
desirable locality.
The tlippudrome at Kensington will, it is understood,
be opened by Mr. Batty, on the Ist of May, the day ap-
pointed for the opening of the Exhibition.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
The majority has obtained a victory over the Mi-
nistry. The election for officers of the National Guard
ought to take place on the 25th inst., and the Ministry
were exceedingly desirous that they should take pace
on that day, and that the officers should be elected by
universal suffrage, inasmuch as such an occurrence
would give weight to the argument that the electoral
law of the 31st May was intended to apply to elections
to the Assembly only, and that the PRESIDENT was to
be elected by universal suffrage. The majority of the
Assembly desire either that the elections shall be post-
poned until the enactment of the organic law on the
National Guard, or that they shall take place accord-
ing to the provisions of the law of the 31st May.
The Minister of the Interior appeared before the
Committee on the organic law for the National
Guard on Friday, and was interrogated as to
the elections, when he stated that he could
give no answer without having first consulted
his colleagues' and immediately withdrew. " When
the Minister had withdrawn," says the Journal des
Dibats, " the Committee, in order to be prepared for
all eventualities, decided that it would prepare a pro-
position demanding the postponement of the elections.
It is affirmed that this proposition was drawn up on
the instant by M. Baze, and that it is composed of
the two following articles Art. 1. The elections of
the National Guard are suspended until after the
promulgation of the definitive law on the organization
of the public force. Art. 2. All the officers and sub-
officers of the National Guard are maintained in their
functions.' " The Government did not wait for the pro.
position to be laid before the Assembly, but at once
gave in ; and the Government journals of yesterday
announce that a Bill will be presented on Monday to
postpone the elections until after the promulgation of
the organic law.
The Moniteur publishes a decree superseding
twenty-one prefects of departments, and appointing
Bonapartists in their room.

The squadron at Brest is preparing for sea.

KNIGHT'S SERIAL PUBLICATIONS.

'I 'he monthly issues of the various serial publica-
tions of the indefatigable and enterprising Charles
Knight continue to deserve those commendations
which we have from time to time bestowed upon

them. litre, for the moderate sum of one shilling,
we have a beautifully printed and illustrated edition
of the Merchant of Venice, forming Part X. of
Knight's Pictorial Shakspere, and the conclusion of
the first volume of t hat valuable work. This first
volume, which contains the comedies of the im-
mortal dramatist, being thus brought to a conclusion,
at the very moment of Mr. Macready's retirement
from the stage, is very appropriately dedicated by Mr.
Knight to his fellow• la bourer " in the honest endeavour
to diffuse more widely a more intimate knowledge,
and with that a deeper love of our great poet's works."

—Half-Hours with the Best Authors presents us this
month with Crahhe's beautiful poem " Ycs, there are
real mourners"—with a glimpse of " Sancho
P.inza"—with some artistic observations by Sir
Joshua Reynolds—with Sir Philip Sydney's
defence of poesy—with extracts from Bulwer,
and Boccaccio, and Humboldt, and Ben Jonson
and many, and equally various, others ; nor must we
omit to particularize " The Duel," that most beau-
tiful and truly pathetic account of the death of poor
Lord Frederick Verisopht, so familiar to all the
readers of " Nicholas Nickleby." Full of cordial
and delightful eulogium are the introductory remarks
to this extract—to leave out the name of Charles
Dickens in a collection from the works of the beat
authors, says Mr. Knight, " would be skin to the
famous omission in the Roman procession."—The
Pictorial Half-Hours, the Cyclopedia of Industry,
the Cyclopedia of London, and Knight's Excursion
Companion, are all in their several ways excellent,
and admirably well adapted to supply fitting infor-
mation to the stranger in London or the excursionist
in the country.

JAMAICA-

Our correspondence from this i3land extends to the
sth November.

There has been a severe gale, •vihieh did injury to
the shipping in different parts of the country.
" CHOLBRA.—There have occ tarred two cases in
the parish of Trelawny this week,. one at Westonfabel
estate, when the head man, named. Fowler, died ; and
the other on York estate, also fat al. The disease has
broken out with great violence in the Maroon Town
district, in the parish of St. James.. A person of the
name of Waite returned to his Lame within a mile
and a half of Maroon Town, from. Montego Bay, on
Friday ; he was attacked, and dits d with the disease
the same night. The next mornin, g, Saturday, his
wife, son, and daughter were all # ound dead in the
house. Thus, in the short space )f a few hours, a
whole family was swept off by this insidious disease.
" SMALL-pos.—This disease :has now become
epidemic. It is extending itself tl aroughout the pa-
rish, and the poor people are dy it ig daily from the
want of proper attendance. You to .y better judge my
surprise than it is possible for me t o depict it, when
I tell you that those persons who are afflicted with 11
this loathsome disease have been s yen walking about
the highway adjacent to their resit lences. This fact
itself is sufficient to render the d'is ease fatal. It is
serious matter for consideration, the present state ofa
this and our sister parishes, St. J -nines and Hanover.
Unless the Legislature enacts a s' ;tingent law, during
their present sitting, for sanitary purposes, including:
the punishment of those persons who
shall neglect to
provide medical and other neces nary attendance for
the sick, we are likely to beco. ate depopulated in a
few years."

STRAND THEATRE.

Indefatigable is the activity of Mr. Copeland, the
clever manager of this delightful little temple of the
drama. Inexhustible is his repertoire of farces—
" Another and another still succeeds." Last night
another novelty was produced—a farce entitled
Breakfusik for Tw•o, the comicality of which depends
upon Mr. 13elton, who, perishing with hunger, finds
himself repeatedly within sight of a breakfast, but
only to experience interruption. An amusing em.
broglio is created by the equivoque arising from the
amorous propensities of the young gentleman ; the
lady of the house, the housemaid, and a milliner being
simultaneously the objects of his passion, and brought,
as .a matter of course, -into collision. The bagatelle,
which was played with liveliness by Mr. Belton and
his coadjutors, was rewarded with considerable ap-
plause at the termination.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Last evening the Merchant of Venice was played
for the first time this season, the part of Portia
being sustained by Miss Frankland. Graceful and
gentle in her performance, Miss Feankland exhibited,
moreover, considerable intelligence, propriety of elo-
cution, and a nice discrimination in the phases of
refined comedy, which stamp her as an actress of no
ordinary merit, and a very valuable acquisition to
the resources of this theatre. Mr. Kean, who was
called at the end, and who had well merited the honour
by the force and discrimination with which he had
brought out the leading points of Shylock'a charac-
ter, led forward the young actress. Shylock has
always been a favourite part in his repertoire, end it
has now gained greatly by the pains he has evidently
bestowed on it. He has accurately conceived the
pathetic as well as the vindictive side of the Jew's
nature, and while he deals out a full measure
of ferocity, he never allows his audience to
forget that he is, to a great extent, a
wronged man. The use he makes of his eyes,
which are naturally of a piercing quality, adds much
to the pictorial effect of the principal scenes, and
the manner in which he follows his intended victim
with a glance during the course of the trial is
terribly foreboding. Mr. Wigan's Bdssanio is meri-
torious for the perspicuity with which he brings
out the friendship for Antonio. The broken voice
with which he reads the intelligence of the merchant's
calamity, and his sedulous attention to him when
the fatal crisis approaches, are marked by that real
feeling which can scarcely fail to awaken sympathy.
Mr. Harley, quaint and thoroughly at home as Laun-
celot Gobbo, so delighted his beholders that they raised
a call for him long after ho had changed his stage
attire, and he made his bow as Mr. llarley in proprid
persona. Mr. Ryder, with his excellent elocution,
made a good Antonio.

The Kreuss Zeitung of Berlin has the following on
Ffersch affairs :
" When the common soldier exposes himself daily to
the risk of being shot for his King and country for 3d. a
day, he does no more than his sworn duty; and if, as it
seems, the Count de Chambord has not the courage to
venture his Me for a Crown, he may sink into the Hotel
invalides. Till then we must leave him out of political
Consideration, and reckon only with Louis Napoleon and
the French army. The President of the French Re-
public has succeeded in doing whet legitimate kings have
ee'e..empted in vain, in anaihileting parliamentary gevern-
eaolat in France for ever. Ile has succeeded without
any special trouble in throwing the old grayheaded in-
teiguants and revolution-makers out of the window, or
in transferring them to his own old quarters in Ham;
he has succeeded in compelling the French army,
through such a War Minister as St. Arnaud, to arrest
its valued and renowned leaders; he has succeeded
in drawing the army with him into a flagrant breach of
the Coustitutione he has succeeded in suppressing the
heel; resistance of the Reds. To-day in all this, and per-
le Joe more, he is succes,ful; but will he coatinne to be
so to-morrow? Will the mist in which he in his procla-
mations shroud.; the words people' and ' sovereignty of
the people,' as well as his own name, be thick enough to
blind the eyes of the officers and soldiers for a few weeks,
eepecially if the highest legal tribunal persists in its
censtitutionel resistance? And where will the President

day afternoon, which there is every remon to believe
is not unfounded, that the Prince de Joinville and the
Duc d'Autnale had left Claremont '24 hours before,
for the purpose of trying their fortune in an expedi-
tion to France, with the intention of proceeding, if
possible, to Lisle.

GERMANY.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA IS, it appears, determined
to force his subjects to pay as little regard to the
sanctity of an oath as he does himself; we have had
organizers of " order" ad nauseam, but in Vienna we
find perjury organized by the Government into an
institution of the empire, and the organization carried
out under the superintendence of the police. The
brokers on the Stock Exchange of Vienna are sworn
to observe secrecy as regards their customers, yet the
Emperor of AusTaiA, in pursuance of his mad pro-
jects for keeping up the price of his worthless
assignats, has actually compelled the brokers to violate
that oath. The correspondent of the Times, who cannot
be suspected of anything like an unfriendly feeling to-
wards the Austrian Government, and who would on
the contrary tone down as much as possible any of its
crimes or its mistakes, gives the following account of its
proceedings and of their consequences :
" If I am not misinformed, the Governmentis at length
beginning to see that the new measures against tho
moneyed world are not exactly calculated to raise the
sunken credit of Austria. The friendly remonstrances
of disinterested observers, and the damnatory opinions
of the whole of the independent foreign press, were of no
avail, but the rise of the exchange on London to 1211.
48k., in spite of the persecution of the police, is a
sympton which startles even the most violent defenders
of violent proceedings. A singular scene took place
on 'Change a day or two since. The Exchange Com-
missary insisted on inspecting the books of the
sworn brokers. Notwithstanding their oath to
observe secrecy, they all yielded to the demand
except ono individual, who, after protesting that ha
would not break his oath, even if he should be punished
for his resistance with ton years' imprisonment, ex-
claimed, If you choose to bleak open my desk I can-
not help it, but open it myself I will not.' The lock
was not forced. The Oest. Correspondenz of yester-
day evening speaks of the unwearied energy of the
authorities ;in suppressing the agitation on 'Change,'
and the inexhaustible vital power of the State ;'
but the public has lost all confidence in a Govern-
ment which introduces measures without duly con-
sidering their probable consequences, and is, be-
sides, well aware that unceasing mismanage-
ment will prove too much even for Austrian resources.
The worst of the matter is, that it is generally asserted
in public that the present intolerance of the police pro-
ceeds directly from the highest source, as it is notorious
that the City CaptsinJaily sisits Count Grunee, the
Emperor's Adjutont•General. If the youthful Sovereign
had an opportunity of hearing the plain, unvarnished
truth, he would learn that those around him are daily
and hourly estranging him from the affections of even
his most loyal subjects. There is already a vast differ-
ence between then and now l When Francis Joseph
ascended the throne he was extremely popular, whereas
now --."

JAMAICA.

Our correspondence from this island extends to the
15 h November.

There has been a severe gale, which did injury to
the shipping iu different parts of the country.
" CuonErta.—There have occurred two cases in
the parish of Trelawny this week, one at Westonfabel
estate, when the head man, named Fowler, died; and
the other on York estate, also fatal. The disease has
broken out with great violence in the Maroon Town
district, in the parish of St. James. A person of the
name of Waite returned to his home within a mile
and a half of Maroon Town, from Montego Bay, on
Friday ; he was attacked, and died with the disease
the same night. The next morning, Saturday, his i
wife, son, and daughter were all found dead in the
house. Thus, in the short space of a few hours, a
whole family was swept off by this insidious disease.
" SMALL-Pox.—This disease has now become
epidemic. It is extending itself throughout the pa-
rish, and the poor people are dying daily from the
want of proper attendance. You may better judge my
surprise than it is possible for me to depict it, when
I tell you that those persons who are afflicted 'with
this loathsome disease have been seen walking about
the highway adjacent to their residences. This fact
itself is sufficient to render the disease fatal. It is a
serious matter for consideration, the !)

Unless the Legislature enacts a stringent law,
their present sitting, for sanitary purposes, including
the punishment of those persons who shall neglect to
provide medical and other necessary attendance for
the sick, we are likely to become depopulated in a
few years."
The Legislature of the eountry assembled on the
28th of October, when his Excellency addressed them
in an unusually short speechltwas considered by
the Governor and the Council as dictatorial, and they
answered the Governor accordingly. No interruption
to public business ensued.

LONDON THURSDAY CONCERTS.

We are delighted to learn that although the London
Wednesday Concerts have ceased yet we aro still to have
a series of concerts given on the same plan, at the same
prices, in the same place, and with the same interval of
time between each. Tho series of London Thursday
concerts is advertised to commence on Thursday next at
Exeter Hall. Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Dolby, and Miss
Binkes are engaged. Mr. Swift, a now tenor will make
his first appearance, and a grand choir of madrigal
singers will sing some of the choicest compositions of
Wiibye, Gironimo, Converse, and Festa. The cele-
brated Hungarian pianist Ernerick Szekoley will
preside at the piano forte, and Herr En-
gelke will perform a fantasia on the
The directors, iu their programme, announce that the
principal feature of the concerts will be the production
(by a complete and eminent choir) of those rare and
beautiful old English glees and madrigals which have
for centuries lain unpractised and ote.cure. They told,
if the aFprobation of the public calls for the continuation
of the series, it is intended to produce at least eight
glees and madrigals at each concert; and, in a short
time, to illustrate the characteristic music of Germany
by a complete additional German choir for the perform-
ance of the choruses and Linder Tafel, or Table Songs,
so popular in that country. They have, however, they
state, thought it wise to add other vocal and instrumental
performances, so as to render the concerts popular with
every one. We heartily wish them success in this their
most praiseworthy undertaking.

MENTAL DIETETICS.

Habitual tippling, or a systematic recourse to in-
toxicating liquids, gives rise to a chronic form of
mental disease, which is characterised by a marked
perversion of all the moral feelings. Such per-
sons, without betraying any positive symptoms of
drunkenness, are nevertheless under the influence
of an excitement which produces in them an irri-
tability of temper and a waywardness of dispo-
sition, which prompts them to commit acts of
indiscreqon which frequently become matters of ju-
dicial investigation. Was he drunk, or was he sober ?
He was apparently perfectly collected, and rational ;
but notwithstanding this, he may have been under
the influence of alcoholic excitement, albeit the facul-
ties of the understanding may not manifestly have
been deranged. This form of insidious excitement
—this state, which is an intermediate condition
between sobriety and insobriety—should be carefully
watched and guarded against in persons holding
responsible situations and positions of trust and
danger on board steam-vessels, and having the ma-
nagement of railway engines, &c. In the recent re-
port of the Committee of the House of Commons on
the supply and use of spirits in the navy, Captain
Drew cites the case of a man who, in a state of ex-
citement, without drunkenness, was continually com-
mitting acts of insubordination, for which he was so
frequently flogged, that despairing of his reformation
the captain determined on invaliding him ; but being
advised by the surgeon that he was a fine healthy
young man, and not a fit subject to be invalided, his
allowance of grog was altogether stopped, and the
result was, that he became completely an altered man,
and not a complaint was made against him while he
remained in the ship. Upon cross-examination the
captain stated that " he never had had any suspicion
of his Ming drunk ; he never showed any indications
of being in liquor," nevertheless he was "in a state of
constant excitement from his allowance, which induced
him to do nothing, and constantly commit acts of dis-
obedience." Captain Hamilton, in the same report,
says, "that drunkenness is the cause of nearly all the
punishments on board a ship is so well known that I
need not repeat what has so often been said ; but I
would go further, and add, that where people do not
even get drunk, habitual spirit-drinking produces an
irritability of temper in the seamen and the officers
that is the cause of much evil in the daily
routine of duty." This form of mental disease fre-
quently terminates in homicidal insanity, unless
apoplexy, paralyis, or delirium tremens, supervene,
and lead to a fatal result. The case is still fresh in
the recollection of the public of a captain of a mer-
chant vessel, who, suffering under this form of
disease, wounded and cruelly maimed many of his
crew, and who is now an inmate of Bethlehem Hos-
pital.—Dr. Forbes Winslow's Journalof Psychological
Medicine for January.
