LYCEUM 'THEATRE.

--
-C, -

Miss Neilsen is an actress of too mityl talent to
be spared from the London stage, and it is a matter
of the highest gratification that her benefit, which
took place last evening at the Lyceum, was not to
be, as is usually the case, an opportunity for
bidding farewell to admirers for a lengthened
period. On the close of the Lyceum fu- dramatic
performaLces, in order to make rowan for the " ne
Italian Opera Company, Dr. Westlaud Marston's
highly successful drama, " Life for Life" will be
transferred to the Adelphi, Miss Neilson still re-
taining her character of Lilian, a part she has
undoubtedly made entirely her own. On the
occasion of her benefit, Miss Neilson selected
Rosalind in Shakspere's comedy " As You Like It,"
and her representation of this particularly beauti-
ful creation of the immortal dramatist has added
another very brilliant jewel to the sparkling diadem
of fame she has already triumphantly earned.
Founding her conception of the part on that of
Miss Helen Faucit, the greatest living represeuta-
tor of it within the last five-and-twenty years, Miss
Neilson achieved a success that must haVe been in
the highest degree satisfactory to those who SG
warmly recognised her splendid acting in " Life for
Life." In the first portion of the comedy she
threw the utmost gentleness and pathos into
the part, whilst in the latter a more
sprightly, hilariou., and hearty forester, with
curtel axe at side, and spear in hand, has rarely,
if ever, been represented on the stage. Her first
interview with her devoted lover, Orlando, in (he
forest of Ardennes, was a most charming speci-
men of dramatic art ; her remedy for the effectual
cure for love was given with immense effect, and
her reading of the celebrated lines on time, in the
same scene, was exquisite ; in fine, to SUM up our
admiration in the shortest possible manner, we can
only say her rendering of the part was deliciously
charming from beginning to end, and it was well
and truly worthy of the immense applause it evoked.
Mr. Jordan sustained the part of Jacques with great
dramatic excellence, and Mr. Rignold as Orlando
deserves very high praise for the excellent manner
in which he performed the part ; indeed he did it
so well that we hope it will not be long before we
again have the pleasure of witnessing his perfor-
mance in other parts. Mr. B. Potter was the Duke,
and he did it well. Mr. Rouse, as Touchstone, was
not quite equal to the part ; however the comedy
was very excellently represented, and gave the ut-
most satisfaction to a very brilliant audience.

LAW IN7 ELLIGENCE.—(7II IS Day.)
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE QUEEN V. MADAME RACHEL.

This case came on a writ of error to quash the convic
tion of Madame Rachel, who, it will be remembered, was
tried before Mr. Commissioner ICer at the Old Bailey, con-
v*.eted, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude for her
rands upon Mrs. Borrodaile.
Mr. Mellish said that this was a writ of error differing
from those which usually come before the Court, because it
did not depend upon the indictment or the finding of the
jury, but entirely upon the constitution of the Court before
whom it was tried. The act under which the Criminal
Court was constituted made it imperative that two judges
should preside at the trials and determine them. Three
questions arose. The first and principal one was,
whether the same two judges should not sit throughout
a trial.

The Court said they were of opinion that the Criminal
Court child divide itself, and therefore Mr. Commissioner
Kerr had not been superseded by any statutory enactment.
They would, however, res.erve the point as to whether Lo
could sit as Judge of the Sheriff's CGu:t.

man and gave Lim into custody.
