ADELPHI THEATRE.

A new farce, by the author of "Domestic Eco-
nomy," called " The Star of the Streets," was pro-
duced here last evening. The incidents of the plot
are not very numerous, but they are worked out
by the actors with such comic spirit as to afford
to the audience that genuine enjoyment which
laughter, fresh, hearty, and spontaneous, infallibly
occasions. Mrs. Mellon, Mr. Toole, and Mr. C. J.
Smith sustain the principal parts.

HATMARKET THEATRE.—Her Majesty and the
Princo Consort, with the Princess Helena and Prince
Alfred, honoured the Haymarket Theatre with their pre-
sence last evening, to witless the new comedy of " The
Overland Route."

REPRESENTATION OF HAIt\VICH.—We under-
stand that Montague Chambers, Esq., Q.O , late M.P. for
Greenwich, intends offering himself to fill up the vacancy
in the representation of the borough of Harwich in Par-
liament, caused by the elevation of the Hon. Mr. Camp-
bell to the House of Lords.

The price of the new Austrian Six per Cent.
Loan will be about 951 at Vienna, reckoning the depre-
ciated paper with which it is to be met, and this would be
equal to only £7l sterling. Still, it is not expected there
will be any subscribers, except under a system of virtual
compulsion.
The Cleadon is announced from Melbourne in
days, with 17,111 ounces of gold, worth about £58,000.
Although no immediate anxiety was felt about the safety
of this vessel, the length of her passage caused the rate of
insurance at Lloyd's to advance on Saturday to 5 or 6 per
cent. The Africa, from New York, has brought £67,000.
ARRIVAL OF A RUSSIAN FRIGATE FROM JAPAN.
—P LYMOtiTII, Monday.—The Rusian steam-frigate Askold,
Captain Ounkovsky, 46, arrived here this morning from
Japan, for Cronstadt. She touched at the Cape, and left
there Jan. 27 ' ditto St. llelena, Feb. 5; Ascension, Feb.
10. Leaving the Cape so recently after the January mail,
she brings no later news, in the interim (seven days)
nothing of importance having occurred. She will lie here
for a few days.
THE INCOME TAX.—Sir S. Northeote stated, in
last Friday night's debate on the income tax, that he had
been engaged two years in investigating the claims of cer-
tain persons connected with the Ecclesiastical Courts for
the abolition of their offices, and for which compensation
had been made. Ono gentleman had been paying as income
tax on £3,000 ; it was proved beyond a doubt he had been
making profit from his position of double, and at one time
treble that sum ; and he had to pay £609 as arrears fort
income tax before he could put his claim in force. Another
had earned £31,432, whilst his return for income tax was
only £B,BOO. Another £2,000 to £4,000, and had returned
£2OO.
THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. RONWELL.—
Referring to the paragraphin which surprise was expressed
at the non-prosecution of the Bonwell case by the Bishop
of London, his lordship's secretary writes to state that the
bishop has neither abandoned nor suspended the proceed-
ings. Immediately on receipt of the commissioners' formal
report, with minutes of the evidence, his lordship's proctor
was intructed to carry the matter with all despatch into the
Court of Arches, and it is to be hoped that the case esay
shortly be in train for a hearing. Meanwhile, Mr. Bon-
well has been entirely absent from the parish, which has
been in charge of his assistant-curate.
THE EXCOMMUNICATION.—It is said that as soon
as the bull excommunicating the King of Piedmont is pub-
lished, Cardinal Morlot, Archbishop of Paris, means to
resign his offices at Court, all of them highly lucrative.
The Grand Almonership alone is said to bring in £4,000
a-year, and as a senator the right rev. prelate enjoys £1,200
per annum. When Tqlleyrand was excommunicated he
took it more coolly. The same day that the bull reached
him, the incorrigible Bishop of Autun penned the following
note to a Madame de F--, with whom he was on very
intimate terms. This note, I may observe, is as yet unpub-
lished. Talleyrand's gems won't bear translation. I there-
fore give it in the original :—" Ma chZre Amie,—C'est
aujourd'hui que la bulle du Pape me voue h l'esprit des
tenebres. J'irai cc soir souper avec vous ; le diable me
voyant dans la compagnie d'un ange n'osera pas in em-
porter."—Letter front Paris.
THE MATERIALS OF PAPER.—" A paper-maker,"
in a letter to a contemporary, says—" We have only just
succeeded in shaking off the fibre merchants, who have long
enough pestered us with their inventions (which they would
have naturally kept to themselves had they been worth any-
thing), when another class of kind friends seems likely to
arise. 'J. C.,' in his letter to-day suggests that India and
China are markets which ought to supply a large quantity
of rags. Had J. C.' known anything of the subject he
wrote about it would have been unnecessary for me to in-
form him. Rags from India have been for many yew
imported, compressed in bales by hydraulic power. Rags
have also been imported from China, Australia, the Cape
of Good Hope, and from every known country from which
a free importation is allowed, by that ' supposed non-enter-
prising' person the British papermaker, who now only asks
for fair play and no favour from his countrymen—viz., that
paper should not be admitted here free of duty unless we
are allowed free access to the rag markets of those countries
whence the paper is imported."

Marshal M'Mahon will leave Paris in a day or
two for Lille, the head-quarters of the military de-
partment under his command. It is generally under-
stood that the Marshal Duke of Magenta will com-
mand the camp of Chalons, which will this year be
composed of three divisions of infantry and one of
cavalry. It is said that the Imperial Guard will
likewise be encamped at Chalons at least as long
as the Emperor shall stay there.
Admital Paris, who commanded the Brest fleet,
has been ordered to proceed immediately to Toulon
with the ships under his command. _ _ _

Col. Saget has been appointed Commandant de la
Place (town major) of Chambery, and has left Paris
to take possession of his post. Col. Hausman has
been appointed Commandant de la Place at Nice,
and has likewise left Paris.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received by express via Marseilles Cal-
cutta papers to Feb. 22. The following are extracts
from the summary of the Bengal .Hurkail of that
date

The latest intelligence we have received of the
Governor-General's movements is that he made his
entry into Lahore on the 10th inst. The Viceroy,
accompanied by his escort and staff, was met at
Shalimar by the Hon. the Lieut. Governor, the
Judicial and Financial Commissioners, and a large
number of the native nobility and gentry of Lahore.
His lordship is expected to start for Peshawar from
Lahore. Lady Canning and the Commander in
Chief, it is believed, will accompany him.
The trial of Khan Bahadoor Khan has terminated,
and he has been sentenced to be hanged. So great
have been the crimes of this miscreant during the
recent rebellion, that he was unable to engage the
services of a barrister to defend his case. It remains
to be seen whether the sentence will be remitted or

LAW INTELLIG.ENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
JUDGMENT-RICHARDS V. RICHARDS.
The question in this case was whether a qualified heir,
or posthumous child, was entitled to the rents and profits
of her ancestor's estate in abeyance after the decease of the
ancestor and the birth of the child.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor considered that the
heir- at-law was entitled to the rents and profits
of her ancestor's estate, and made a decree to the following
effect :—" Declare that the infant plaintiff, Arabella Diane
Giffards Richards, the heir-at-law of Edward Price
Richards (her father) is entitled to all such rents and profits
accruing and due from his estates from the 12th day of
November, 1856, the day of his decease, and the 23d day of
June, 1857, the date of the birth of the infant plaintiff.
The other points in the cause will be mentioned on the
second day of next term.

HALL V. HALL.-JUDGMENT.
The contention in this cause was whether the freehold
estate in question should be sold to pay the arrears of asp'
nuity chargeable upon it.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the
freehold estate of the testator should be sold to pay off the
mortgages and outstanding terms and the arrears of the
annuity chargeable on it, and declared accordingly.
Two-thirds of the estate comprised in the settlement le
charged with mortgages, and one-third with the annuity
in question.

• CONSISTORY COURT.
(Before Dr. Twiss.)
RING V. ROSIER.
This morning Mr. Robert Rosier again appeared in court,
in connection with the articles which have been filed against
him by the Rev. Bryan King, the Rector of St. George*
in-the-East.
Dr. Phillimore, on the part of the Rev. Bryan Ring,
now submitted that the paper put in by Mr. Rosier could
not be admitted as a counter plea, because neither in :foral
nor in substance was it of that character. He wished,
however, to waive all technical objections, and he would
consent to its being allowed to be received as a negattice

issue.
Mr. Rosier said his case had been heard before, at the
police court, and he protested against the proceedings.
Dr. Twiss offered to assign a counsel and a proctor
Mr. Rosier, if he felt inclined to avail himself of professional
assistance.
Mr. Rosier declined the offer. He said he was an into'
cent man, and was perfectly satisfied to test his case 14011
its merits.
A day having been fixed for the hearing,
Mr. Rosier said that he wiz glad to find that then* 0e
likely to be a speedy termination of the case, as he hail bee°
thrown out of employment in consequence of theses pr°'
tracted proceedings.
The case will be heard nest Tuesday.
