THE CASE OF CAPTAIN WYLIE.

The case of Captain Wylie was heard before the High
Court of Boml ay on the 26th of November. He was
charged with insulting Cornet Graves, of the 20th Hussars,
who was a passenger on board his ship Thomas Bell, and
also with assaulting him and imprisoning him when
no offence had been committed. The Captain
could make no defence, and Sir Charles Sargent, in giving
judgment, said that he could scarcely imagine a more out-
rageous stretching of a man's authority than the Captain
had exhibited on the occasion-referred to. He ordered the
defendant to pay the plaintiff two thousand rupees
damages and the costs of the suit. Since the trial Captain
Wylie has filed his petition in the Bombay Insolvency
Court. He attributes his insolvency to having to pay the
damages and costs and his own law expenses.

TUE LAST PAPAL BULL.

The text of the Papal Bull which has caused such
excitement at the Council has just been published.
It has been elaborated with great secrecy and care ;
and has been made known just at the meeting of the
Council. This Bull is a catalogue and classification
of all the offences by which a believer in the Pope
is said to incur excommunication, distinguishing
between those for which absolution may be asked
and obtained from a priest or bishop, and those of
which remission is reserved to the Pontiff alone. The
lion's share in this distribution has been reserved for
the Pope himself. In fact, so many aro the offences
with which his Holiness alone can deal that there is
not a single sovereign or subject in the Catholic world
who is not both excommunicated-and answerable
to the Pope. The Popo alone, for instance, can
remove the curse which is laid on any one who shall
interfere with ecclesiastical jurisdiction and summon
or bring a priest before a lay tribunal; yet neither in
France nor in Belgium, nor, lately, in Italy, Austria,
or Spain, is there any longer the slightest vestirre left
of ecclesiastical courts, nor can the benefit c f
clergy any longer be pleaded before the civil law.
And so on with numerous other offences.
The Pope, in short, at the very time that he calls his
prelates together to devise a new Charter for the
Church, puts forth, by his undivided authority, a
statute trespassing on powers hitherto exercised by
the Episcopal hierarchy, and arrogating tho most im-
portant of those powers exclusively to himself.

Tlti EALANCE OP TRAM

Mr. Dudley Baxter writes to the Sta);dardexposing
the common fallacy that because our imports were 295
millions, and our exports 227 millions last year, the
difference must represent a loss to this country.
Mr. Baxter shcws, as wo have often shown, that the
difference represents profit. What else can it
be ? If it were a loss, we should have to pay
compensation in money ; whereas the fact is that
England last year imported bullion to the value of
24 millions, and exported only 20 millions. Thus not
only do we receive more commodities than we send
out, but also more money. Our 227 millions of
exports have that value only at the ports of ship-
ment ; they aro largelyincreased by the operation of
transit from this country to another. Moreover,
the 295 millions of imports represent the value of
the foreign goods when they are brought hero,
whereas their original worth would be much less, the
difference again being made up by transhipment,
much of • which is done by Englishmen.
Thus we gain a profit in various ways;
by doing most. of the carrying trade of the world,
by our inyest:i.ilts of capital abroad, which bring
annual intcre.,4 to England, and lastly, by the profits
of our merchants' on their exports from home. And.
the total of thee gains from all sources amounted in
1868 to t; in goods, and four millions in
bullion— altc-,;:ther 72 millions.

TIIE TREASURES OF THE DEEP.

A curious story is told of the wreck of H.M.S.
Lutine, which foundered off the sand banks on the
coast of Holland in 1799, with an immense amount
of specie on board. She had £1,500,000 of subsidiary
money for the Englishtroops then serving under the
Prince of Holland. She had also on board assign-
ments of specie for merchants and bankers at
Hamburg, and the Crown jewels of Holland, which
had been reset in this country. The Lutine
encountered a fearful storm, and foundered, with the
loss of all hands. One man was picked up but sur-
vived only a few hours. The Dutch Government offered
£B,OOO for the recovery of the jewels, and a company
was formed in England to search for the treasure
which had been hidden by the shifting sand. They
soon recovered about £160,000, of which the Dutch
Government claimed 280,000 as royalty. Subsequently
the sand buried the wreck and stopped operations.
Since then other companies have b een form ed, but have
successively failed, though D 30,000 more was recovered
at intervals. The bulk of the treasure still remains
in the keel of the slip, which lies embedded in sand.
It is proposed to endeavour to regain it, and Lloyd's,
it is said, intend to apply to Parliament for necessary
powers. The Dutch Government have resigned all
claim to the wreck, and it is thought the best plan
will be to construct large iron caissons, such as were
used for constructing the piers of Blackfriars Bridge,
and sink them into the sands. It is thought that
operations will be commenced next summer.

GERMANY,

North Germany is rapidly taking high rank as a manu-
facturing country. In the production of coal—the alpha
and the omega of manufacturing prosperity—it is now
second on the list of European nations. In 1850 it was
only fourth, producing not more than one-ninth of the
quantity of coal raised in England. Nov it is second, and
produces nearly one-fourth as much as England.

INDIA.

Shere Ali, Ameer of Affghanistan, and Lord Mayo,
Governor-General of India, have met at Umba la,
and thus our new policy in Central Asia has been
fairly inaugurated. Great preparations had been made
for this interview. Eight thimsand European and Indian
troops were gathered together to do honour to the Ameer.
Camps had b( en formed and no less than fifty wells
dug .to furnish water to the assemblage. At
Uinballa, Shere Ali will receive a far more decisive impres-
sion of British power in Asia than at Peshawur, where
it was at first arranged that the interview should take
place. The Indian Daily News remarks :—" The meeting
will be a ratification of those unwritten terms of mutual
reliance which the interests of both nations have created ;
and while Shere Ali will depart assured of support, the
British will have secured in him the only one gua-
rantee needed of the impregnability of the north-west
frontier."

The Nizatn of Hytlerabad, who, like the Begum or
"opal, was one of the firmest of England's native allies,
died of heart disease on the 26th of February. His
career was in no way distinguished ; he lived in close
seclusion and quiet ; but his relations with the British
Government were conducted with exemplary prudence.
He has been succeeded by his son, an infant, a brother of
the late Nizam being appointed guardian. Some excite-
ment was created respecting the choice of a guardian, and
troops were called out in apprehension of a disturbance,
but tise " succ" lion" seems to have passed off quietly.
The recent attack by the BLz'mtes on a tower at Kohat
has been punished. On the 4 of February an expedi.
tion of 400 men attacked a number of villages belonging
to that tribe, and inflicted severe loss upon the marauders.
The troops had two men killed and twenty-five wounded.

THE RIGHTS OF PEDESTRIANS.

The Times has been conducting a discussion within
the '.ast few days on the perils of London streets.
One of its correspondents raises, and settles to his
own satisfaction, an interesting question. It is a
theory that the pavement in towns belongs to the
pedestrian, the road to the cabman or carman. Is
this so P The correspondent says No. "No matter
whether a pedestrian be old or young, rich or i
poor, the road is as much his as the pavement s ;
And whether he be a reckless old gentleman slowly
irossing the former, or a more provoking young
errand-boy dodging under the noses of horses, the
driver is bound to pull up and use his utmost endea-
vours to prevent injury to his fellow creature, regard-
less of every other consideration." Generally in
crossing a street it is the walker who defers to the
driver. But according to this theory the position
should be reversed. Apropos to the subject of pedes-
trians' rights, we may mention that a London vestry
has determined to put a stop to the increasing prac-
tice of turning the pavement into advertising
boards.

EASTER SERVICES IN THE LONDON CHURCHES.

The London . churches were thronged on Easter
Day. At those churches where • the ritual is more
elaborate, large numbers of persons were unable to
obtain admission. In some there were no fewer
than five celebrations of the Holy Communion,
beginning at 5 a.m. The earlier celebrations
which were all " plain," that is, without music, :lid
of the most simple ritual, were attended by
the largest number of communicants. At St. Alb., i
Holborn, the bell tolled sixty-eight times after tue
consecration prayer, for some reason as yet unex-
plained. At some of the churches noted for pulpit
eloquence there were sermons by the chief preachers
of the day. Dean Stanley preached twice at the
Abbey. Mr. Liddon wound up this season's special
services under the dome of St. Paul's. These will
now be succeeded by the services in the Abbey. Mr.
Liddon's sermon lasted an hour and a half, just twice
as long as it ought to have been. It is much to be
lamented that this great preacher should be more
and more falling into the error of delivering these
gigantic discourses exhausting alike to him and his
hearers. At All Saints', Lambeth, the Rev. F. G.
Lee ignored the recent judgment, and in defiance of
the law and of the understanding with his diocesan,
had a most elaborate ceremonial, in which incense
and lights were used the elements were elevated,
and the celebrant prostrated himself. At St. Mary's,
Moorfields, A rchbish op Ma nning preach ed, and speak-
ing of the Real Presence, said there was no need for
him to argue-upon it, for there were persons outside
the) Church who believed it as much as he or
his hearers could do. He added, " These persons
robed themselves in the vestments which the priests
of the Church are robed in when they approach Him ;
they sang the same hymns as those used in the
Catholic Church; they offered Him fragrance and
all the homage of their hearts ; but still they had
Him not. He (the Archbishop) loved these Deonle
ror the love they had for the shadow of our Lord.
He would do anything to reconcile them,. but would
not depart from the truth to meet their views."

*lllation of the Bank of England for the four weeks ended
the 24th of Feb. (the nearest date furnished by their

£99,560 in the circulation of notes in England, and an
increase of £6-18,378 in the circulation of the United
Kingdom.
On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the

land in both departments during the month ending 24th
of Feb. was £18,415,473, being a decrease of £249,017
as compared with the previous month, and a decrease of
£3,060,310 when compared with the same period last year.
The following are the amounts of specie held by the
Scotch and Irish banks during the month ending the 30th

GUTTER CHILDREN.

Miss Rye writes to the Times on the subject of the
emigration of our street children to Canada and the
Western States of America. Last year she visited
America, and was able to judge of the success of
Mr. Meter's scheme on behalf of the city Arabs of
New York. The idea has crossed her mind that the
same thing might be attempted for the " gutter
children "of our great cities. Miss Rye asks if
there is anything she introduces them to in America
which can be worse than that to which they
are doomed if left where they are now ?
Fully convinced of the importance of the mission,
she is prepared to start with a party of children
for the 'West about August. The matter was pressed
upon her attention by both press and people in
America, and they declared that they wanted the
raw material from which our criminals and Mag-
dalens were manufactured. As there are more
resources for the boys, and more means of occupa-
tion, Miss Rye proposes to take only female children
from 5 to 10 years of age, and these will consist of
orphans, deserted children, and foundlings. A thou-
sand pounds will be required to start this work
properly, and she commends it to the notice of the
public, from whom she ventures to ask for help

FOREIGN NOTES

FRANCE AND BELGIUM.

Pending the solution of the railway difficulty between
Belgium and France, the official papers of both countries
exhibit great uneasiness as to the prospect of a satisfactory
agreement. The Belgian papers are almost unanimous in
stating that the Cabinet of Brussels will not allow its deci-
sion to annul the contract between the Great Luxemburg
and the French East Companies to be subjected to any
examination or discussion, and that the subject is not even
to be broached. If the French Government harbour any
idea of over-riding the law of Belgium, it will be disap-
pointed. This is very plain writing. On the other side,
the Patrie, a Paris semi-official paper, gloomily states that
the views of the two Governments are still as wide asunder
as the poles. The French Government has not only
determined that there shall be a Belgian question, but it
seems resolved to keep it open.

A GALLANT POLICEMAN.

The general idea of a policeman is in some way
associated with slinking round corners and avoid-
ance of crowds. But now and again one comes
across some gallant deed performed by members
of the force. One such has just been performed
at Liverpool. Seeing a bundle thrown over a wall,
Police-constable James thought something was the
matter, and waited. In a minute or two a man
leaped over the wall. Ile was immediately seized by
James, who proceeded to take his prisoner in the
direction of the bridewell. He had gone only a few
yards when the ruffian took a large iron " jemmy "
from his pocket, and dealt the ollicer a tremendous
blow with it over the right eye. The blow
was so violent that the- officer was stunned for
a second or two. He, however, still retained
his hold of the man, and closed with him.
The fellow, however, had at first the advantage,
for, taking a short hold of the " jemmy "—a formi-
dable iron weapon, about 2ft. in length and about
41b. in weight—he continued to strike a succession of
heavy blows. Jamcs drew his staff, and a terrible
struggle ensued. The officer. dealt several heavy
blows on his adversary's head, arms, and body with
his truncheon, and the thief returned the blows with
his "jemmy." The noise aroused several people in
the neighbourhood, but they were afraid to interfere.
But James held on and fought bravely until he
became nearly insensible, when, happily, help arrived
in the shape of an inspector. We commend the cam
to those who have to administer patronage.

AS TLEY'S.

This theatre reopened last night under new
management. " London Assurance" was the play
selected for the opening, and Miss Marian, the
directress, played Lady Gay Spanker, with a good
deal of spirit, and Miss Fitz-Inman made a charm-
iug grace tlarkaway. Mr. F. Thomas, as Dazzle,
has ease, but wants gentlemanly bearing. Mark
Meddle, the lawyer, was admirably rendered by
Mr. G. Yarnold, and Mr. Frank Seymour in the
character of Dolly Spanker. Following the comedy
was a musical entertainment, in which were intro-
duced the ballad-operatic and serio-comic voca-
lists, dancers, negro grotesques, and gymnasts.
The evening's entertainment concluded with a
ballet, which gave general satisfaction.

AN ENGLISH STATESMAN ON THE
STATE OF EUROPE.

A curious article, purporting to be by "An English
Statesman," is published in the semi-official .Nord-deutsche
Allgenzeine Zeitung of Berlin. The writer, referring to the re-
port of an alliance between France, Italy, and Austria, says
that such an alliance would bo utterly impracticable. "lf
France with such support were victorious in a war against
Prussia, this would place the whole of Europe, from Cadiz
to tho banks of the Memel, in the power of Napoleon
III." But the Italians have too much sense and experience,
thinks the "English Statesman," to desire such a state of
things, " and, even if the Government at Florence were
caught in Napoleon's net, the Italian army would cer-
tainly never draw the sword against its ally of
186i3." As to Austria, the " English Statesman"
cannot believe that any politician of note at
Vienna could wish to obtain revenge on Prussia for
Sadowa by the subjection of Southern Germany to France.
"Can Austria not see," he asks, "that victorious France
would afterwards lay down the law to those who helped her
to gain a triumph over her northern neighbour ? Let us
suppose, which is probable, that Northern Germany, with
Russia for its ally, should break up the Franco-Austro-
Italian coalition. Who in that case would have to bear the
costs of the conflict but Austria, the natural scapegoat of both
France and Prussia ?" The " English Statesman" concludes
from these considerations that peace is certain, as France
is without an ally, and cannot make war alone, while "the
development of Northern Germany is not only a menace to
no one, but is a guarantee of peace for the rest of Europe."—

THE SATTnIN CASI.

Miss Saurin is not alto,. otter satisfied with the
verdict she obtained in het- ...tons suit against the
authorities of the Bull Convent. She wants more
than the Court• of Queen's Bench would give her.
According to •the Daily News, Miss Saurin has
filed a bill in Chancery against the whole of
the nuns in the Hull Convent, with the view of
compelling a distributibn of its property. It is
very likely that the sum which, under an equal
distribution of that property, would fall to Miss
Saurin's share, would exceed the amount. £3OO,
which she paid into the Dublin Convent when she
was professed, and the return of which was awarded
to her by the recent verdict. The Daily _Yews, with
questionable discretion, recommends that the con-
vent should immediately pay over to Miss Saurin the
largest amount which she could receive on any pos-
sible division of the estate. But is the Court of
Chancery so very sure to give its decision for Miss
Saurin P The other decision has yet to come under
the review of the full court at Westminster.

GUTTER CHILDREN.

Miss Rye writes to the Times on the subject of the
emigration of our street children to Canada and the
Western States of America. Last year she visited
America, and was able to judge of the success of
Mr. Meter's scheme on behalf of the city Arabs of
New York. The idea has crossed her mind that the
same thing might be attempted for the " gutter
children "of our great cities. Miss Rye asks if
there is anything she introduces them to in America
which► can be worse than that to which they
are doomed if left where they are now ?
Fully convinced of the Lnportance of the mission,
she is prepared to start with a party of children
for the West about August. The matter was pressed
upon her attention by both press and -people in
America, and they declared that they wanted the
raw material from which our criminals and Mag-
dalena were manufactured. As there are more
resources for the boys, and more means of occupa-
tion, Miss Rye proposes to take only female children
from 5 to 10 years of age, and these will consist of
orphans, deserted children, and foundlings. A thou-
sand pounds will be required to start this work
properly, and she commends it to the notice of the
public, from whom she ventures to ask for help

FOREIGN NOTES

FRANCE AND BELGIUM.

Pending the solution of the railway difficulty between
Belgium and France, the official papers of both countries
exhibit great uneasi...a na to ago pro.pecb of a. satisfactory
agreement. The Belgian papers are almost unanimous in
stating that the Cabinet of Brussels will not allow its deci-
sion to annul the contract between the Great Luxemburg
and the French East Companies to be subjected to any
examination or discussion, and that the subject is not even
to be broached. If the French Government harbour any
idea of over-riding the law of Belgium, it will be disap•
pointed. This is very plain writing. On the other side,
the Patrie, a Paris semi-official paper, gloomily states that
the views of the two. Governments are still as wide asunder
as the poles. The French Government has not only
determined that there shall be, a Belgian question, but it
seems resolved to keep it open.

TILE ARRIVALS.

Some of the volunteers had come over night, but the
greater number chose the very clay itself for travelling.
Soon after seven o'clock on Monday morning special
trains with volunteers from London began to arrive by
both the South-Eastern and the London, Chatham,
and Dover lines. Among the first corps which came
in were the 3rd London, the 37th, the 40th, and the 48th
Middlesex. The 3rd Middlesex Artillery was also among
the early arrivals. The men of the Hon. Artillery Com-
pany came down in the course of the morning, their guns
having been brought down on Saturday. By nine o'clock
bands were playing in all directions, and some fifteen or
sixteen thousand volunteers were already preparing for
the muster on the various points of rendezvous along the
beach.

THE RENDEZVOUS.
At ten some eighteen thousand men had solidly fallen in
on the Marine-parade. This was the rendezvous ; and all
was now ready for the first brigade of artillery to file off
from the sea front by fours, and commence the march to
Castle-hill Fort by Bench-street, the Market-square,
Castle•street, and New Castle-hill-road. Arrived on the
heights, this imposing force should then have marched
past the reviewing officer. But nothing of the kind did
take place. The weather became utterly execrable and
abominable. The watery firmament seeming pouring
through a hundred thousand windows, but always
driven slantwise by the wind. As for the sea,
it was inky black, save on the shore, where, churned

into an intolerable spasm of foam, it leaped up in towering
columns of wave, washing right over the flags of the
Marine-parade, and far into the roadway, and threaten-
ing in some of its refluxes to carry away the volunteers
haversacks, rifles, brass bands and all—by the whole
battalion. Under these circumstances what was to be
done? To keep the troops in their position on the
Esplanade was manifestly cruel, for those unprovided
with waterproofs were literally soaked. At half-past ten in
the morning it was a matter not of moral impossibility—for
the men were ready to go anywhere, and do anything—but
of physical impossibility, to march even eighteen hundred,
much less eighteen thousand, men up to Castle-hill Fort.
The few mounted officers who ventured up to the Castle
were almost blown from their horses, and the driving rain
cut their faces as though with icy whips. By order of Sir
Hope Grant, the review operations were relinquished. It
was originally intended to dismiss the force at once and
definitively ; but at the suggestion, it is said, of Lord
Ranelagh, the volunteers were temporarily dismissed, and
bidden to reassemble again, at three o'clock, at the same
rendezvous, when, if it were at all practicable, a march
nast would be essayed.

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, March 29.
ller Majesty, attended by the Duchess of lox-

Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess
Beatrice also went out.

EASTER AMUSEMEN7S:

DRURY-LANE.

The long-promised drama, by Mr. Bayle Bernard,
"The Man of Two Lives," was produced last even-
ing at this theatre with unequivocal success. The
drama is founded upon Victor lingo's celebrated
"Les Miserables," rendered familiar to the public
by Mr. 11. Neville's clever adaptation, entitled
" The Yellow Passport," at the Olympic. The
version under notice is much more lengthy and
elaborate than its predecessor, the prologue and
three acts occupying nearly four hours in repre-
sentation ; therefore, to complete the success of the
piece, a curtailment of some of the scenes is highly
necessary. The part of Jean Valjean is one pecu-
liarly suited to the versatile powers of Mr. C. Dillon,
who pourtrayed each phase of the convict's career
with great pathos and artistic power. Mr. Ryder,
always a careful and judicious actor, infused into
the character of Javert, the Commissary of Police,
au amount of dry humour which somewhat softened
and neutralised the effect of this otherwise repul-
sive individual upon the audience. It was a highly
effective impersonation, and well deserves the eulo-
gium bestowed upon it. Mr. Barratt enacted the
part of the benevolent curd very impressively,
and the other characters were well sustained. Mr.
Dillon was called for repeatedly between The acts,
and at the termination received quite an ovation.
The performances concluded with the gorgeous
Christmas pantomime of " Puss in Boots."
London, England, 1869-03-30

burlesque, entitled "Joan of Arc," written by Mr.
W. Brough, followed, and if one might judge from
the burst of applause that was accorded to every
song, pun, and break-down, the piece bids fair to
eclipse its predecessor, " The Field of the Cloth of
Gold." It is admirably put on the stage, the dresses
are Most gorgeous, the puns not too far fetched,
and the introduction of many of the popular airs
of the day afford intense satisfaction to the not too
critic,ll gallery. There were one or too hitches in
the movements of the burlesque, which will cease
no doubt after a few performances. On the fall of
the curtain the principal actors were severally called
for, as was also the author, who received a most
enthusiastic reception.
London, England, 1869-03-30

TIIE GLOBE.

The successful play, " Cyril's Success," which has
lasted over a hundred nights at this pretty little
theatre, has given way to another drama by the
same author Mr. Henry J. Byron—entitled
" Minnie ; or, Leonard's Love." From the recep-
tion which it received last night there is no doubt
that it will prove equally as popular as most of Mr.
Byron's other successes. The acting through-
out had been carefully studied, and at the fall
of the curtain the thunders of applause testified
to the favourable reception with which the drama
had been received. Mr. J. Clarke was thoroughly
at home as David Latimer, whilst Miss Lydia Foote
(her brat appearance at this theatre) acted the part
of Minnie with feeling and pathos. Mr. Byron
was loudly called for, but he was unable to make
his appearance, in consequence of his being out of
.own. The farce of " The United Happy Family"
preceded the play, which was followed by the ex-
travaganza of " Brown and the Brahmins."

EXECUTION AT MANCHESTER.

Easter this year with all its merriment and jollity does
not pass off without its tragedy. On Monday morning,
Michael Jackson, aged 24, was banged by the neck until
dead within the walls of the Manchester Gaol. The
unfortunate wretch having bad a public house dispute
with a man named Kurney, had allowed his angry
passions to get the better of him, and stabbed
Patrick Kurney so severely that he soon afterwards died.
For this he was sentenced to be executed, the jury recom-
mending him to mercy. Every attempt was made to
procure a reprieve, but without success. Neither jury
recommendations nor local petitions were listened
to, and on Monday the law took its course. The
execution was private, the first of the kind which has
taken place at Manchester. Six reporters only were
present, besides the regular officials. Calcraft was the
executioner. The culprit was penitent and resigned. He
was attended to the drop by the Roman Catholic chaplain
of the gaol, the Rev. Mr. Clarkson. He struggled power-
fully for some time after the drop had fallen, but was soon
quiescent. His body was cut down and buried in the
usual way.
The prison philanthropist, Mr. Thomas Wright, on
Sunday had an interview with the then condemned, now
deceased, murderer.

A qtrEsTION POP, ANTIQtrATZTANS,

The question as to whether any of the Irish
spiritual peers assented to the Royal Supremacy
Acts is being debated between Mr. Charley, M.P.,
and Dr. Maziere Brady. Mr. Charley wrote to the
Times a few days since respectin g a passage in his
speech on the Irish Church Bill, and cited a list of the
spiritual peers who assented in Parliament to the
Irish Royal Supremacy and Uniformity Act of 1560.
Dr. Brady writes in answer to this, that no such list
is known to exist, but that the list Mr. Charley
quotes was fof some time regarded as a list of the
Peers ana Omnmeners in the first Parliament

ASTLEY'S.

This theatre reopened last night under new'
management. " London Assurance" was the play
selected for the opening, and Miss Marian, the
directress, played Lady Gay Spanker, with a good
deal of spirit, and Miss Fitz-luman made a charm-
ing G-race H.arkaway. Mr. F. Thomas, as Dazzle,
has ease, but wants gentlemanly bearing. Mark
Meddle, the lawyer, was admirably rendered by
Mr. G. Yarnold, and Mr. Frank Seymour in the
character of Dolly Spanker. Following the comedy
was a musical entertainment, in which were intro-
duced the ballad-operatic and serio-comic voca-
lists, dancers, negro grotesques, and gymnasts.
The evenicg's entertainment concluded with a
ballet, which gave general satisfaction.
