passenger into a sort of fool's paradise, omnibus
accommodation is pretty much as it was. The
too credulous public, instead of having the pro-
mised advantages of an amalgamation of proprie-
tary interests, have still to expiate their sins on
that ingenious instrument of torture, a " knife
board," or in threading the obstructions of a
hazardous middle passage. Their necks and limbs
are still endangered by a perilous ascent, and their
shins and toes still incur the perpetual risk of
being scarified or bruised. Fat, middle-aged
gentlemen and ladies still threaten bilious subjects
with suffocation, or run the risk themselves of
permanent indentation. Ventilation is as bad as
ever—a straw carpet still carries us back to a
period anterior to the Reformation. The con-
ductors and drivers are not a whit more civil or
patient than ttey were before. Mrs. WiLsox's
management of her line of Favourites has not yet
been surpassed. The lady shot ahead of her com-
petitors, and there are reo signs of her example
being imitated and the Company shooting ahead
of her. The system of correspondence is, to be
sure, in operation, but to such a limited extent
as to be a snare rather than a benefit. The worst
faults of the old management have been continued ;
the Company have been fined for running a dis-
abled omnibus, and severely reprimanded by the
Lord Mayor for perpetuating a scurvy Sunday
evening impost peculiar to "the Lower Road."
The lamps are as ill placed, and give as little light
and as much annoyance as of old. Some two or
three additions, to be sure, have been made to
the old stock, but the prospect of a general im-
provement seems as remote as ever. Are the
public the victims of a money-getting hoax ? Is
there any intention to fulfil the promises which
induced them to acquiesce in the establishment of
a gigantic monopoly ? These are questions to
which the Company must fattish satisfactory
answers, or else look out for competition. Share-
holders may count it " a good thing" to get
usurious dividends, but the interests of the pub-
lic are paramount with the public ; and if these
are not duly considered by one Company, they
will be by another, and then the short-sightedness
of the present policy will be abundantly apparent.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee deserve great credit
for their exertion in obtaining the services of Hr. and
Miss Vandenhoff, whose talent is so well known that we
need only give the name to convince all play-goers, far
and near, to pay a visit to the City Theatre, indepen-
dently of those superior artistes. The working com-
pany is one of the best in London. A recent engage-
ment, made with Mr. J; 11. Rickards, has been attended
with great success. Mr. Beaumont Hughes, also a new
importation, is a pains-taking and highly talented actor.
The new comedian, Mr. G. W. Simms, is a gem ; he
may fairly be termed second to little Robson. Mr.
William Searle is great as usual ; and the new leading
lady, Miss Augusta Clifton, has made a most favourable
impression. We advise all lovers of the drama to drop
in and witness the pieces produced at this establiehment,
feeling satisfied the manner in which the theatre is con-
ducted will amply repay a visit.

ready. We know what the freedom of the press
costs us—we know what it is worth to us. It costs
us some abatement of sympathy and cordiality
from absolute and repressive Governments. It is
worth to us all that we are, all that we have been,
all that we shall be. Nor do we lack warnings on
the other side. We see that the moment a Go-
vernment interferes with the liberty of the press it
not merely deprives itself of the best guide to the
feelings of its people, but also fixes itself with a
new and dangerous responsibility for everything it
permits to appear. From these dangers the British
Government is at least exempt, and we shall re-
quire better proofs than we as yet possess of the
benefits of repression before we consent to try the
experiment."

ROYAL STANDARD THEATRE.

Mr. James Anderson's new and original play, in blank
verse, entitled "Cloud and Sunshine, or Love's Revenge,"
has proved a great success at this establishment—one of
the last strongholds of the legitimate drama and school
of acting. Mr. James Anderson was the first Thespian
constellation to appear in the East, and successfully led
the van of theatrical civilisation, which is as prosperous
there now as at Covent-garden and Drury-lane in the
palmy days of the Kembles and Kean. Mr. Anderson
had before been known as a writer through
versions of Schiller's " Robbers," " Schamyl," &0.,
&c. ; and his consummate knowledge of his
profession, and cultivated mind, has produced an elegant
play, likely to rival " The Lady of Lyons" and " Ingo-
mar" in popularity. Not alone to Mr. Anderson (who
played the hero) is the success of " Cloud and Sun-
shine" to be attributed ; but also to Miss Agnes
Elsworthy, our young, graceful, and accomplished tra-
gedienne, who enacted the heroine with the dignity and
high breeding so necessary in the part of the Duchess-of
Nairne. Miss Elsworthy, at the termination of her
present performances at the Standard, leaves England
to fulfil a series of engagements in America, where
her services have secured golden advances, in the
anticipation of "golden opinions from all sorts of
people." The young lady is a native of South
Coast, Devonshire, and a direct descendant of old
Jackey Pym, her name being "Agnes Elsworthy Pym !"
the Puritan, a name popular and often met with in the
United States since the days of the early settlers.
However, she scarcely needs the association of family in
America, where the aristocracy of talent is ever in the
ascendant, and where actors and actresses find the El
Dorado of their profession. To Mr. John Douglas, the
indefatigable lessee of the Royal Standard, great praise
is due for the correctness grid elegance of a "mise•en•
scene worthy of the Princess's Theatre.

THE BATH JUDGMENT.-PROTEST.

The following declaration has been circulated amongst
the clergy :
We, the undersigned, priests of the one Catholic and
Apostolic Church, called by God's providence to minister
in the province of Canterbury according to the Common
Prayer, do hereby, in the presence of Almighty God,
and in humble conformity with the tenor of our ordination
vow, ai we understand them, make known and declare
as follows :

1. We believe (in the words used in the Book of Ho-
milies) that we " receive the body and blood of our
Lord Jesus Christ under the form of bread and wine ;"
and with Bishop Cosin, " that upon the words of conse-
cration the body and blood of Christ is really and sub-
stantially present, and so exhibited and given to all that
receive it ; and all this, no: after a physical and sensual,
but after an heavenly and incomprehensible manner ;"
of which statement, Bishop Cosin says, " it is confessed
by all divines."

2. We believe in the words of Bishop Ridley, " that
the partaking; of Christ's bodie and of His blonde ur.te
the faathfull and godlier, is the partakingo and fellowship
of life and of immortalitie. A.kld, again, of the bad and
ungodlia receivers, St. Paul plainlie saleth thus : He
that eateth of this breade and drinketh of this cupne
unworthilie, he is guilty of the bodie and blonde of the
Lord.' He that eateth and drinketh unworthilie, eateth
and driuketh his own damnation, because he eateerneth
not the Lord's bodie ; that is, he receiveth not the
Lord's bodie with the honoure which is due unto Hyin."
Or with Bishop Po3inet, " that the Euchatiet, so tar as
appertains to the nature of the Sacrament. is truly the
body !and blood of Christ, is a truly divine and holy
thing, even when it is taken by the unworthy ; while,
however, they are not partakers of its grace and holi-
ness, but eat and drink their own death and condemna-
tion."

3. We hold with Bishop Andrewes, that " Christ
Himself, the inward part of the Sacrament, iu and with
the Sacrament, apart from and without the Sacrament,
,wheresoever He is, is to be worshipped." With whom
agrees Archbishop Bramball :—" The Sacrament is to
be adored, says the Council of Trent, that is (formally)
the body and blood of Christ,' say some of your
authors ; we say the same ; the Sacrament,' that iR,
the species of bread and wine, say others—that we
deny."

We therefore being convinced,
1. That the doctrine of the real presence of " the,body
and blood of our Saviour Christ under the form of bread
and wine" has been uniformly held as a point of faith in
tha Church tram the Apostolic time; and wail accepted

THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.

" Tit for Tat " was performed at this theatre last
eveniig, in which Mr. Robson resumed his original part
of Mr. Slwerby, it being his first appearance since his
late severe illness. His reception was a warm and pro-
longed one. He appeared perfectly recovered, and
played with equal if not more than his usual spirit.
Some changes have taken place in the cast of characters.
Mr. G. Cooke has succeeded Mr. Emery in Frankland ;
Mr. J. Rogers made his first bow to au Olympic audi-
ence in Easy Bolter ; and Miss Marston undertook the
part of Rose. The whole went off with great effec%
After the conclusion of "Tit for Tat," Mr. Wigan's
farce of "A. Model Wife " was revived, for the first time
these two years, and also kept the audience exceedingly
well amused. The house was fully attended.

ASTLArs AMPHITHEATRE.

We seem indeed to have arrived at a new era in dra-
matic entertainments, for in all directions a praiseworthy
zeal is become manifest for the restoration of that high
moral tone which has so long been laid aside for melo-
dramatic trash and French frivolity. Nor is the public
taste sluggish in the matter. Time was when a Sink-
sperian representation was invariably rewarded by an
almost empty house, but now we find the immortal
bard in the ascendant. At Astley's, where everything
pertaining to the legitimate has been carefully excluded,
nay, where rant, specticle, and equestrian skill has
always superseded anything like dramatic excellence, we
have the unprecedented circumstance of nearly eighty
consecutive representations of " Richard the Third ;"
and, although the piece has been compressed into three
acts, all the principal incidents and effects are not only
preserved, but given with extraordinary magnificence.
Vie understand it is to be succeeded by another of Shak-
spere's plays, and we doubt not Mr. W. Cooke will find
abundance of reason to congratulate himself upon the
admirable change he Las effected.

ESCAPE OF CONVICTS.—A number of convicts of the
bagne of Civita -Vecchia, in the Roman States, having
succeeded in cutting a hole through a wall in the bagne,
five of them, who are under sentence to bard labour for
life for having formed part of the band of the famous
brigand Passatore, passed through it in the morning of
the 10th, and found themselves in a building called the
Palazzo Apostolico, in which clothing and other articles
are stored in for the French troops. There they dish
guised themselves in uniforms of French engineer sol-
diers, and taking pickaxes and spades on their shoulders
walked out. Every one, of course, took them for French
soldiers, aid they got clear off.

MADRID, 25th.—The Gazette publishes a Royal 1
decree in virtue of which the floating debt is fixed
at 640 millions. By a Royal ordinance, couched
in terms the most flattering to General San Miguel,
her Majesty has declined to accept his resignation
as Commandant-General of the Hallebardiers.
The Gazette also published a decree by which
secondary instruction in theological studies is re-
established in the seminaries. It is doubted
whether the resignation of Marshal Serrano will be
accepted.
The Madrid journals of the 23d have reached us.
The Naciom says that the decree accepting the
resignation of the Golden Fleece by the Marquis
del Duero (de la Concha) has been signed, though
not yet published. The Hoja Autografa contra-
dicts the statement that it made a day or two be-
fore to the effect that the government intends to
devote 70,000,000 reals to the purchase of wheat
at Marseilles.

The Russian Envoy General Benkendorff (he
is, it appears, nephew to the well known
Princess de Lieven) had visited all the
ministers, and, accompanied by the,. new

faults of the old management have been continued ;
the Company have been fined for running a dis-
abled omnibus, and severely reprimanded by the
Lord Mayor for perpetuating a scurvy Sunday
evening impost peculiar to " the Lower Road."
The lamps are as ill placed, and give as little light
and as much annoyance as of old. Some two or
three additions, to be sure, have been made to
the old stock, but the prospect of a general im-
provement seems as remote as ever. Are the
public the victims of a money-getting hoax ? Is
there any intention to fulfil the promises which
induced them to acquiesce in the establishment of
a gigantic monopoly? These are questions to
which the Company must furnish satisfactory
answers, or else look out for competition. Share-
holders may count it " a good thing" to get
usurious dividends, but the interests of the pub-
lic are paramount with the public ; and if these
are not duly considered by one Company, they
will be by another, and then the short-sightedness
of the present policy will be abundantly apparent.

THE NEW IRISH JUDGE.

(BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, OCT. 28.

The new Judge of Appeal, the Right Hon.
Francis Blackburne, ex-Chancellor of Ireland,
has been appointed Lord Justice of the New
Court of Appeal, under the act of last session.
London, England, 1856-10-28

ROYAL ,STANDARD TBEATRE.

Mr. James Anderson's new and original play, in blank
verse, entitled "Cloud and Sunshine, or Love's Revenge,"
has proved a great success at this establishment—one of
the last strongholds of -the legitimate drama and school
of acting. Mr. James Anderson was the first Thespian
constellation to appear in the East, and successfully leo
the van of theatrical civilisation, which is as prosperous
there now as at Covent-garden and Drury-lane in the
palmy days of the Ketiables and Kean. Mr. Anderson
had before been known as a writer through
versions of Schiller's " Robbers," " Schamyl," &0.,
&c. ; and his consummate knowledge of his
profession, and cultivated mind, has produced an elegant
play, likely to rival " The Lady of Lyons" and " Ingo-
mar" in popularity. Not alone to Mr. Anderson (who
played the hero) is the success of "Cloud and Sun-
shine" to be attributed ; but also to Miss Agnes
Elsworthy, our young, graceful, and accomplished tra-
gedienne, who enacted the heroine with the dignity and
high breeding so necessaryin the part of the Duchess of
Nairne. Miss Eisworthy, at the termination of her
present performances at the Standard, leaves England
to fulfil a series of engagements in America, where
her services have secured golden advances, in the
anticipation of "golden opinions from all sorts of
people." The young lady is a native of South
Coast, Devonshire, and a direct descendant of old
Jackey Ppm, her name being "Agnes Elsworthy Pym !"
the Puritan, a name popular and often met with in the
United States since the days of the early settlers.
However, she scarcely needs the association of family in
America, where the aristocracy of talent is ever in the
a-cendant, and where actors and actresses find the El
Dorado of their profession. To Mr. John Douglas, the
indefatigable lessee of the Royal Standard, great praise
is due for the correctness and elegance of a " mise-en.
scene worthy of the Princess's Theatre.

would not do, and therefore they took steam and sails
together. (Hear, hear.)
The LORE MAYOR acknowledged the compliment, end
reminded the company that although be.appeared at that
moment in full vigour the mantle was rapidly falling
from his shoulders, and that on the very day when the
Istanboul would spread her sails and turn her head to the
New World, he would be no more. (Laughter.) He would
then have to look back upon his career of office with
gratitude to Almighty God, and to his fellow-citizens,
for during that period he had not a single melancholy
recollection to associate with the discharge of his im-
portant duties as first magistrate of the first city in the
world. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. MECHI then proposed "The Merchants of the
City of London, and especially those connected with the
Colonies."

Mr. BROOKS returned thanks.
The following toasts were afterwards given and duly
honoured :—" The Corporation of the City of London

_~~~-

Never was the assembling of Parliament more
opportune than at this moment. Questions of
deep, almost of vital, importance are under dis-
cussion, and it is indeed fortunate that the chosen
Representatives of the People will have so auspici-
ous ~an opportunity of expressing their opinions
and those of the parties through whose favour
they are invested with the honourable and
arduous duty. It might have happened that the
all-important•negotiations would occur during the
recess, or at such a distance that they could
only condemn arrangements, that had been
improvidently entered into that all they
could have effected would be expressed by the
trite adage of " Shutting the stable, door
after the steed had been stolen." But happily
this is not the case in the present instance. The
"Holt cloud " has not as yet passed from the
face of the moon, and there is abundant time to
prevent arrangements that might entail very
serious consequences OR the nation.
It is an old Ministerial trick, one that we have
repeatedly and unsparingly exposed, to assert that
any
inquiries are premature until every arrange-
ment .has been completed, and the matter has
been accomplished. Then it is too late to express
an opinion ! Parliament must be contented to
sanction that which is irrevocable. It may be very
convenient for Ministers if they can induce
either branch of the Legislature thus to abdicate
its functions, and to be satisfied with merely re-
gistering the decrees of
the Government.

A new periodical, we observe, is announced. t°

illustrious man---a monthly serial, to be entitl

the undertaking is distinctly enough foreshadoleci
through advertisement. It will be a publicat> ~
so says the prospectus, designed to promote it,
study of universal literature in every aget,,,,
every country, in every language ; and to do n,
at once with care and intelligence. It is prop
by M. de Lamartine, through this new ere!
of his opinions as a man of letters, that he OP-,56
from time to time, through its pages, eriticioli
the more remarkable works of all times, of
lands, of all tongues—and illustrate them bf wo,
propriato commentaries. The great eutm,,g
striving by these means to inspire the taste $7l
regulate the judgment of even the more illiters
among his contemporaries. A noble designldesign not unworthy of the genius, and tbe
patriotism, and the eloquence of M, de Leo;
tine. An ambition befitting the poet o
" Jocelyn," the historian of the " GlitaB°
dins," the creator of " Raphael,"

enterprise, this is, moreover, this same scheme,

It will be written entirely by the hand of LOA;

merely the proj9ctor, or editor, or conductorle;
is to be the author, the exclusive author of
entire production. It is to be published it!,
administered by himself alone. It is to be set
lectually, as it were, bone of his bone and fi;
'of his flesh—the direct emanation of 11
genius, already productive of so many reai;

course of rhetoric as a oourse of taste $ll

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.)

The Speaker entered the House, attended by
the officials, ay.d took the chair at half-past one.
Shortly after that hour the Deputy-Usher of
the Rack Rod appeared at the bar, and sum-
moned the members to the House of Lords to
hear her Majesty's most gracious Speech from the
Throne.

The Speaker, in obedience to the command,
left the chair, and, attended by nearly all the
members present, proceeded to the bar of the
Home of Lords.

After an absence of about ten minutes the
Spezker returned, and again resumed the chair.

The House then adjourned till a quarter
before four o'clock,
