ADELPIII THEATRE.

Last evening a "holiday illustrative sketch " of a tale
in the Christmas number of " Household Words " was
produced at the above theatre, trader the title of" Boots
of the Holly•tree Inn ; or, The Infant Elopement to
Gretna Green." Many of the characters and incidents,
with much of the language of the original, are skilfully
introdnced ; and the sketch, moreover, affords ample
scope to the admirable talent of Mr. Benjamin Webster,
who, as the loquaciou., kind-hearted " boot:," displays
all that intimate knowledge of stage effect—that artistic
finish and peculiar power of depicting lively or serious
emotions with equal success, for which he has long been
celebrated. His performance alone should render this
trifle attractive ; but, fortunately, it is in every other
respect well acted, and especial praise is due to the in-
fantile representative of the boy Harry, who really
showed ability of a high order, and contributed in no
small degree to the general effect. " Boots of the Holly-
tree lun," though necessarily undramatic in structure,
cannot fail to interest all who have read the original
tale—and who has not ? Mr. Webster made his first
appearance since Christmas on this occasion, and was
enthusiastically received.

RUSSIA.

The Northern Bee publishes the following article
in its number of the 26th of January :
"A rainbow of peace has appeared in the horizon and
has been joyfully hailed by all friends of civilisation, by
all those who desire to see the prosperity of commerce
in all its branches.

" In these two years of war with four Powers, the
Russian people has given a striking proof of its great
and noble character, and has earned the respect of its
enemies.

"As regards France it may be positively affirmed that
the French nation loves and respects the Russians, ad-
mires their courage and self denial, and takes every op'
portunity of expressing its sympathy, as it did wbea
there was a short suspension of hostilities in the Crimes,
as also when Russian prisoners passed through France;
The French prisoners, on their part, have been treated
by the Russians Idre brother..
" May God grant us peace. But, should it not be cow
eluded, Russia still has at her disposal sufficient m 0205
of resistance to repel her enemies with energy. We hope,
at all events, that peace will give a new impetus to Rus-
sian trade and manufactures, which will completely
emancipate Russian commerce from strangers.
" Every strong Power, even during peace, should be
constantly prepared for war. Russia desires peace, but
she does not fear war."

NEW COURT.

The learned commissioner, Russell Gurney, Esq., Q C.,
sat in this court trying the prisoners for passing base
coin, and, from the number there are for trial, is likely
to be so occupied the whole day.
The cases were of the usual character, and in the ma-
jority of them licensed victuallers were the parties im-
posed upon.
In one instance two persons pleaded guilty to being
in possession of between two fl u d three hundred coun-
terfeit pieces of coin, all most beautifully cast iu soft
metal and electroplated. As is usual with all indict-
ments brought by the Mint solioitor, to these sessions,
but very few of the prisoners were acquitted, a proof
Of the common skill exercised in getting up these pro-
secutions, but still it is most evident that there must be
some further stringent legislation upon the subject to
check this rapidly-increasing class of offence. Teat the
sentences now passed by the judges upon offenders of
this sort are Rot severe enough to operate as an exam-
ple the committals to these sessions clearly prove.
Notwithstanding that imprisonments of from six to
eighteen months usually follow convictions, each suc-
ceeding calendar of this coin t generally shows an in-
crease of mint prosecutions ; and this session, just one-
fourth of the crimes charged are those against the coin.
The subject is one that calls loudly for further legislative
inquiry.

BIRTH N.

148,853 births were registered in the last quarter of
the year 1355 ; or more in numher by 2,394 tha❑ the-
births in the corresponding quarter of 1854. The annual
rate of births in the quarter was 3'128 per cent. on the
population, which is near, but somewhat below, the
average (3-142). There was an increase of births in every
division, except in the two divisions south of the Thames
and in the Eastern counties. The registrars account in
various ways for the decrease of births. At Royston
the registrar says :---" Many young married men are
crone into the Militia." The Militia is referred to also
by the registrar at Hatfield ; and at St. Alban's " the
removal of many your)°, women with the numerous re-
cruits" accounts for the decrease of births. Upon the
other hand, " the formation of the camp at lildershott,"
it is said, "accounts for the increase of births and
deaths" in the district of Farnham. The registrar of
Southampton notices that only 84 births took place in
May, while the numbers in that month in previous years
bad varied from 95 to 142 ; and on the whole he has a
decrease in the year of 136 births, which he attributqs
"to the fact that so many ships belonging to this port
have been detained in the Black Sea, father than to a
diminution of the population." The decrease of births in
Carnborne, Redrutb, is explained by "the fact that a very
large proportion of the male population has been for some
time past employed in Amer:ca at the copper mines of
the Lake District, and the gold diggings of California
and Australia, where a great number of Cornish miners
have emigrated, leaving their wives and families at home,
who are maintained by remittances from the husbands."

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

(From the Quarterly Return of the Registrar-General.)
This return comprises the births and deaths registered
by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during
the autumn quarter that ended on Dec. 31, 1855 ; and
the marriages in 12,155 churches or chapels, about
3,685 registered places of worship unconnected with the
Established Church, and 628 superintendent registrars'
offices, in the quarter that ended on Sept. 30, 1855.
The return is on the whole satisfactory ; but the
marriages were below the average from various causes.
The births were near the usual number ; and the mor-
tality vs much below the average, both in the towns
and in the country.

MARRIAGES.
37,1i1 marriages were celebrated in the quarter that
ended on Sept. 30, or less by 999 than the numbers in
the corresponding quarter of 1854. 74,302 persons
were married. The annual rate for the quarter was 783
marriages to 100,000 of the population, the average of
the 10 preceding and corresponding quarters having
been 809. Marriage was somewhat less frequent than
it was in the corresponding quarter of 1854 in every
county except Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Oxfordshire,
Huntingdonshire, Essex, Wiltshire, Herefordshire,
Rutland, York (East and North Riding), Durham, and
Northumberland.

LONDON', TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1856.

Scarcely have the plaudits which attended the
development of the Partnership Bills, by the
new Vice-President of the Board of Trade been
silenced, before Mr. LOWE has established a new
claim on the gratitude of the commercial com-
munity. He proposes the complete abolition or
the passing tolls, making due provision for the
liquidation of liabilities incurred on the security
thereof, giving power also to get rid of a portion
of the municipal dues--the balance being trans-
ferred to the National Exchequer, and the rights
and interests of bona fide creditors being strictly
respected, although the payment of their de-
mands is apportioned, in the first instance, be-
tween the dues retained and the Corporation
funds. The Charity funds are dealt with in a
similar manner, some being abolished, and the
remainder being placed under Government control
and management. The judicious principle is
further carried out in a very efficient and com-
prehensive manner, the result being that the
shipping interest, which has already been so
heavily and so unfairly mulcted, will be relieved
of burdens to the extent of some 200,0001. per
annum, and will no longer be subjected to arbi-
trary charges, imposed according to the discretion,
or rather indiscretion, of bodies with whom they
were in no degree connected.
There is but one drawback to the satisfaction
we should otherwise have experienced at this
otherwise unexceptionable measure. There is
too great respect for what are termed " vested
interests "—too much anxiety to give compensa-
tion for claims that bad no just or reasonable
foundation. We can, however, make every allow-
ance for the difficulties which Mr. Lows had to
encounter. He was well aware of the prejudices
existing in both Houses on the point, and the
almost insurmountable obstacles that would be
opposed at every stage of the proceedings, unless
he had recognised the objectionable principle.
As well, however, might "compensation " be de-
manded on behalf of the known swell-mobsmen
for their probable losses on the introduction of a
more efficient system of Police, 'as in some of these
oases where the abuses of the trusts confided to the
charge of the administrators have been of the most
flagrant character. These, however, are matters
of detail which must be disposed of in committee,
and we earnestly hope that the utmost vigilance
may be displayed on every point in any degree
oonnected therewith.

The Bill, however, aims a heavy blow and great
aiscouragement at the system •f jobbery which so
long pervaded every department of the State.
Au individual or a body were plundered by unfair
p rivileges conceded to others. In place of abating
tl ►o social grievance a new licence for plunder was
granted, which was seldom merely an equivalent
it that remonstrated against ; and thus a series
01: petty, but vexatious, exactions came into opera-
ti on, all of which ultimately fell upon the tax-
pakyting community or consumers.
There was always a plausible pretext for the
robbery to be found under the obsolete protective
system. But the real object was known ; and

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

In the Northern and Midland counties the effects of
temporary or local causes of the decrease of births in
the south have been neutralised; and generally in
England there is little ground of complaint or of any
apprehension of a paucity of births, as 635,123 children
were born in the year of war 1855 ; or 208,381 in excess
of the number of deaths (426,242). In the last quarter
of the year the excess of births over deaths, or the natu-
ral increase, was 51,734. Of the immigration into
England and Wales from Ireland and Scotland during
the period no records exist.

24,207 emigrants Failed from the ports of the United
Kingdom at which there are Government emigration
officers ; 16,111 to the United States, and 7,329 to the
Australian colonies. 7,615 were ascertained to be of
English origin, 840 Scotch, 10,689 Irish, and 1,426
foreigners ; the origin of 3,637 was undistinguished.
The number of English emigrants during the year was
57,132. The total number of emigrants from the United
Kingdom was 166,253, exclusive of 10,554, ascertained
to be foreigners. The numbers of the two sexes were
nearly as 10 females to 11 ma:es. Of 54,902 men whose
occupations were distinguished 7,167 were farmers ;
29,963 were labourers ; 2,511 were carpenters or
joiners ; 1,814 were bricklayers, slaters, &c. ; 661 were
painters, plumbers, or glaziers ; 1,735 were miners ;
639 smiths ; 623 shoemakers ; 816 tailors. Oaly 972
called themselves gentlemen, pr)fessional men, mer-
chants, &c. Of 58,950 women, 19,386 were returned
as married ; 13,616 as servants ; the occupations of
25,222 women were undistinguished.

his bill of last year for tie better management of episcopal
and capitular estates.

PARISHES BILL.

The Marquis of BLANDFORD begged leave of the house to
be allowed to lay a bill on the table, the object of which was
to facilitate the formation and endowment of separate and
distinct parishes. It differed from the bill of last year. This
bill proposed to increase the powers of the ecclesiastical com-
missioners, and to enlarge Sir Robert Peel's Act of 1843. It
was considered last session that it was better not to bring for.
ward a measure at so late a period of the session, and he
therefore agreed to bring it forward this year. He had every
evidence that the houso would give great attention, and
would ultimately give its assent to this measure.
Leave given to bring ii the bill.
EXECUTION OF JUDGMENTS IN ANY PART OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM.
Mr. CRAUTURD begged leave to bring in a bill which he
was too late to proceed with last session. The bill was to
enable executions to issue in any part of the United King-
dom under judgments or deereets obtained in certain courts
of record in England, Ireland, and Scotland. Last year
the state of the bill was not satisfactory to the law officers
of the Crown; but since that time he had introduced some
alterations in the farm of the bill. He would not delay
the house by going into the question at present, and trusted
the house would find the modifications he had made in the
bill satisfactory.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he thought the object of
the bill most desirable, and he should be very loth for any
obstacles to be put in the way of the passing of the bill.
After some further observations, leave was given to bring
in the bill.
Mr. WHITESIDE obtained leave to introduce five bills re-
gulating the practice in the Irish Courts of Chancery. The
hills were substantially the same with those which the hon
and learned gentleman introduced last year.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Feb. 3.—The Gazette de la Croix says
that Prussia will maintain her neutrality in the
face of the Conferences, that she will enter into no
engagements tending to support the projects of the
Western Powers against Russia, and that she will
await the march of events. The amount of Bank
notes will be augmented by ton millions.
A letter from Berlin of the Ist, in the Cologne
Gazette,, says :—‘6 We learn from a good source
that the Western Powers have an intention of
crowning the work of the Paris congress by a com-
mercial treaty with Russia, in which the latter is
to modify her customs tariff in favour of those
Powers. We presume that such a modification
cannot take place without advancing the interests
of Germany. It is, however, satisfactory to see
the Western Powers profiting by this occasion to
open a breach in the prohibitive system of Russia."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Feb. -1.--The French and British
Ministers yesterday received instructions to sign
the so-often mentioned Protocol. Immediately
after:the receipt of their despatches, Sir Hamilton
Seymour and M. de Bourqueney communicated
their contents to the Austrian Minister for Foreign
Affairs and to the Turkish Embassy. In'the course
of the evening it was settled that the Representa-
tives of England, France, Turkey, and Russia
should meet at the Foreign office at 12 to-day, and
then and there sign the important document iu
question. At the appointed hour the four foreign
diplomatists (the present representative of Turkey
at this Court is only
a Charge d'Affaires) had as-
sembled, and they and Count Buol attached their
signatures to the subjoined protocol :--
"In consequence of the acceptance by their respec-
tive Courts of the five propositions contained in the
document hereunto annexed, under the title of Draft of
Preliminaries, t}.49 undersigned, after having paraphed
it, conformably to authorisation received to that effect,
have agreed that their Governments shall each nomi-
nate Plenipotentiaries, who, furnished with the full
powers necessary for proceeding to the signature of fer.
mal preliminaries of peace, shall conclude an armistice
and a definitive treaty of peace. The said Plenipoten-
tiaries will have to assemble at Paris within the term

'-...14.-4.45am0c....m.wpw0-NtincaOkaereasamitempprommegs4o
of three weeks dating from this day, or sooner, if it
can ho done.

" Done at Vienna, this 14 day of February, 1356."
(The Five Signatures.)
Five copies or " expeditions," as they are tech-
nically called, of the protocol, are to be prepared,
and one given to each Government. Count Bug
will leave for Paris on or about the 12th, and M.
de Bourqueney two or three da3s sooner.
The only other news worthy of mention is, that
the Queen's speech so damped the ardour of the
stock-jobbing world that there was a slight reac-
tion on 'Change, although it had transpired that
the Protocol had been signed by the representatives
of the live Powers. National Loan fell to 86 ;
Credit Bank Shares, at 2001, were 28041 Lon-
don, at three months, 101 27k. The premium on
gold 121 per cent., and that on silver 8i per cent.

TATTERSA GUS-MONDAY.

The buoyancy of Yellow Jack, Yorkshire Grey, and
Epaminondas, for the Chester Cup. had a marked effect
upon their respective positions. Jack rose to 15 to 1,
taken; the Grey to 20 to 1, taken ; •and towards the
close of the business 22 to 1 would have been taken
about Eparninondas—the first two bets which were
booked in his favour were 2,000 to SO and 1,000 to 40.
Courtenay receded to 33 to 1. These were the principal
movements relative to this event.
Nothing was done on either the Metropolitan or
Great Northern.

TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.
10 to 3 was the highest offer against Yellow Jack,
and 7 to 2 against Flyby-Night-7 to 2 would have
been taken about the former, and 4 to 1 to some Jnoney
about the latter. 200 to 16 was taken about En.
chanter.

THE 'BANK CHARTER.

Mr. GLYN inquired of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether any stops had been taken for giving
statutory notice, unti'er the provisiens of the Act 7 and
8 Victoria, c. 32, to the Governor and Company of the
Bank of England preparatory to the revision of their
charter ; and whether it was the intention of Govern•
ment to institute any .inquiry before a committee of this
house, or otherwise, into the working and effect of the
said act ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated
it was not the intention of the Government to take any
steps in the pi esent session of Parliament to abrogate the
exclusive privileges of the Bank of England. The Go-
vernment would not object, if pressed, to the appoint-
ment of a committee of the house on the Bank Charter,
but altogether;, looking at the early part of the session,
at the condicion of the country, and the uncer-
tainty in regaml. to Ow relations in which the Bank
stood to the Government, they thought such would be
anreasonable awe premature.:

MIDD LESEZ SESSIONS.

;laudsley Draper, who pleaded guilty on Thursday
last of embezzlement, was brought up for judgment.
The Assistant-Judge said this was a very serious case.
The prisoner had embezzled his master's money to the
amount of nearly 1,000/., and he could not feel justified
in sentencing him to imprisonment. The sentence,
therefore, was that he be kern in penal servitude for four
years.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

TEA.—The transactions in this article have been li-
mited, but prices have ruled firm. Very few p.trcels of
common Congon have been offered, and there were ready
buyers at 94d. per lb.
SUGAR.—There has been a fair demand for home con-
sumption, and fully previous values were refdiped for all
descriptions, more particularly the finer qualities. Dur-
ing the week there are several largo public sales adver-
tised, but quotations aro not expected to rule lower. The
refined market has been steady, and former rates were
fully supported.

UOFFEE.—A good amount of business has been doing in
both Native and Plantation. Ceylon at fully previous
quotations ; the stocks on hand ire considerably less than
they were at this time last year. Fine Mocha is in de-
mand at 76s to 90s per cwt.
RlCE.—There has been some inquiry for good Native
Bengal at full values, but other sorts have been neglected.
Rum,—No business of any importance has been report-
ed, and prices are without alteration. The stocks on hand
have increased to some extent. „
TALLOW. —There has been a very excited market, owing
to telegraphic advices that there are upwards of 120 ves-
sels detained at St. Petersburg in the ice. For P.Y.C.
there have been ready burrs at 58s per cwt. on the spot.

o>,c of the pieces placed before the Ci—irt Coinpicgrie

stage of Mdlle. Delaporte, in an aerostatic dress of seve-
ral yards' circumference, was the signal for a universal
