" The Dead Heart" has iven place to one of the
finest dramas which has "ever been produced in
Dunlop. styeet —" Janet Pride"—and Mr. Benjamin
Webster is its great attraction. On the side of
morality it is a lay sermon; in favour of tempe-
rance, one production of it is worth a twelvemonth's
lecturing. Bands of Hope should see it, and direc-
tors of local institutions at war with brandy and
crime should en masse witness the able lessee of
the London Ade]phi act Richard Pride, the too
faithful likeness of thousands, in this age of mis-
sionaries and civilisation. This great drama—for
it is one—presents to us with terrible vividness the
distorted features of our national self, for it mirrors
that part of modern customs which leads youth to
the grave, manhood to the hulks, and age to the
workhouse. It is sufficient to state, that all lovers
of the legitimate drama have in it soraeth,:ng
thoroughly to please; and that with- Be; jamin
Webster as the horrid debauchee and reckless cri-
minal, " Janet Pride" goes far, on the stage, to serve
the cause of social reform. Thus much for the ten-
dency and character of the drama, which to read
would be tame, just as lectures and sermons are.
It is an acting drama, and may never be seen in
Glasgow to such advantage again if once Mr.
Webster goes away. His Richard Pride is a study
—a character to admire—a piece of acting to ap-
plaud unreservedly—a consummate effort. We en-
dorse every word said of him by Jerrold, quoted in
the play-bill, and cannot presume, when such a
great critic has "pronounced," to say more. It
simply remains for us in this connection to add
that every moralist, every inebriate, every tempe-
rance reformer, and every admirer of great acting
should go and crowd the theatre this week.--Glas-
gow Daily Bulletin.

r) ELIAIII.6.S TA B Y COMUTTEr •

THE SERPENTINE.
The committee re-assembled this morning—Mr. Caner
in the chair.

Mr. Williams, of the Royal Humane Society, was re •
called, and, in answer to questions, said since lime had been
put into the Serpentine the water had been much improved.
He had never seen soft places on the ice to denote warm
springs. The soft places were occasioned by the shelter from
the wind.

By the Chairman—He thought n the water were purer
the number of bathers would be very much increased.
By Mr. Walter—Formerly the higher classes used to
bathe in the Serpentine, but such was not the case now.
Dr. Woolley, formerly chief medical officer of th: Hu-
mane Society, said—About seven or eight years ago the
smell from the Serpentione was so bad that he had directed
the men of the society to smoke tobacco while out on duty.
The smell produced violent nausea. The disagreeable state
of the water was partly from stagnation, partly frora
mud, and partly from the overflow of sewage.
The whole of the deaths from drowning in the Ser-
pentine came under his notice, the mud entering the
nostrils and air passages, would render the effort
to restore life still more difficult. A drowning person
swallowed a great quantity of water. He had known seve-
ral cases of persons who would have been saved, after they
had been rescued, from death had the bottom of the Serpen-
tine been hard, instead of soft. Persons frequently sunk
several feet in the mud, at the bottom, and there remained
fast. He thought the purification of the water would greatly
increase the number of bathers. He was not competent to giTe
a suggestion for the best mode of improving the bottom. He
thought if the sides of the river were made so shallow that
a child could not be drowned it would be a very good ar-
rangement.

Mr. T. Braithwaite, C.E., said he had great experience
in the construction of wells in the metropolis. The gravel
strata under Westminister would give an unlimited supply
of water. He had once sunk a well at Charing-cross, near the
Union Club House, and found the water so plentiful that
an engine of 100-horse power would have been incapable
to cope with the supply. The well in question was only 14
feet deep. He had latterly become acquainted with the
well of Duck Island ; he was convinced that there was
plenty of water to meet any supply if the area was increased.
One million of gallons per diem for a month would produce
no sensible diminution. The water was beautiful. It was
called spring water ; it was hard but very pure, and such
as might be coisumed by any person.
By Sir J. Shelley—lf the water from gas companies got
into the wells the companies would be liable to action for
permitting such a circumstance. The water in Duck
Island was not, as has been stated, objectionably impure.
It was possible that at some time it might have been con-
taminated when the sewers had been improperly m sde.
Sewers are generally made above gravel strata. If the
foundation of some of the houses in Queen-street had been
injured, in his opinion it was attributable to the
Victoria sewer, and not to the pumping at Duck Island.
He did not agree with Mr. Simpson in his report to the
Commissioners of Sewers, in which he attributed the injury
to the foundation of the houses in Westminster to the
pumping. Supposing the Government were decided to
supply the Serpentine with water from the Dusk Island.
well, it would be the best that could be got short of Thames
water.

The Chairman—Of course you mean above Teddington
Lock ?

Mr. Braithwaite—Yes.
The Chairman—lf you were asked to get a large supply
of water from Paddington you would be sure of getting it?
Witness—Yes, certainly. I don't think I should prefer
getting the high level for the Serpentine to that of taking
it from Duck Island. The draining of the parks and Ken-
sington Gardens would yield comparatively nothing—not
oven sufficient to supply the loss of water to the Serpentine
by evaporation. lie thought the best mode of improving
the Serpentine was to get rid of the semi-fluid mud, and then
cover it with gravel, forming a bed with a graduating circle
round the sides from two to five deep. The opposite bank
of the circles from the edge of the water would be about
100 feet or so from the shore. A bank would hero be
formed, beyond which deep water would exist in the centre.
There would be a continuous flow of water round the circle,
but it would nut be very great.
The Chairman—How do you propose to get rid of the
semi-fluid mud ?

Witness—By pumping; any common pump would effect
the purpose.
The Chairman—And its ultimate disposal would be—
Witness—lnto the sewers or the Thames. It would
neither stop up the former, nor interfere with the naviga-
tion of the latter.
By Lord Fermoy—The plan he proposed would not con-
tinue the danger to all bathers. Those who swam over the
distance would go into deep water. If a million of gallono
of pure water were put into the Serpentine daily, and thsC
quantity of foul taken away, it would greatly improve the
water. The water take, away would be from the surfaCJ►
which was always the most impure. If this practice 04
kept up the Serpentine would become purer and purer
every day.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEAL.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworthy
Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingston, and other peers.)
TOOLEY'S CILARITIES.—JEITRIES ET AL V. ALXXANDEIII

EX PARTE IS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., resumed and concluded his argument for
the appellant, and contended that the deeds executed by the
testator were mortis causa deeds for charitable purposes
without valuable consideration, and null and void under
the statute of mortmain, and formed no charge against his
real estate.

Mr. Elmslie, Q.C., followed on the same side for the next
of kin, and submitted that under the statute there was a total
nullification of the two deeds executed by the testator. The
testator, Benjamin Brame, Esq., by his will and codicil
charged his real and personal estate (after payment of all
his debts and legacies) amounting to between £430,00() an&
£70,000, with the support of charities for the benefit of the
poor of the parish of Ipswich.

The Master of the Rolls sustained thewill butdisannullei
the codicil. The Lords Justices, with the assistance of the
law judges, sustained both will and codicil. Against this
decision the appellants appealed.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Remilly.)
ALSOP T. BELL-JUDGMBITT.
His Honour said—l am of opinion that the respondent
has been led into a misapprehension of my decree on the
original hearing. lam of opinion that whether the will of
1815 or the will of 1818 is a ♦alid will of the testator, or
whoever is entitled under the one will or the other to the
reversionary rents, Mrs. Mary Ann Alsop is entitled to the
surplus rents which have accrued during her lifetime with the
interest due on such'rents, and when the accounts are takes
I decree that the plaintiff is entitled to payment accord-
ingly with costs.. His Honour said if all parties consented
he would grant an issue to ttry the validity of the wills of
1815 and 1818 before a jury, but declined to determine the
claims of the defendant under these wills. His Honour
declined to make any order on this motion, and to save ex-
pense suggested a compromise, and directed the cause to
come before him for further consideration on Monday as to
the sale of the property- 'without prejudice to the claims if
the defendants.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE J. LIVIS.

This bankrupt was described as of the Lock tavern, Old..
street, licensed victualler, and to. day came up to pass his
last examination.

Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-atreet, solicitor to the as'
signees, did not oppose, and the bankrupt passed his (Wl'
mination.

SHERIFF'S COURT.

THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY V. BOARDS.

This was an action to recover calls upon 40 shares held bi
defendant.

Mr. Leverson, solicitor to the company, stated that out
of 3,500 shareholders, there were only thirty defaulters, and
most of those had paid the calls made upon them.
The Registrar proved that the shares stood in the auras
of defendant on the register.

Mr. Yates, the secretary, proved giving orders to send
out allotment letters, and consigned the number to de'
fendant. Ile also proved the directors' minute ordering al*
call.

The application for shares signed by defendant, subject 0
the conditions in the prospectus, was then put in.
Mr. Yates was then asked by defendant what was ill°
amount of the capital ?
_ _

Mr. Yates—£33o,ooo in shares of £1 each. At the We
of defendant's being placed on the register 260,000 share°,
had been subscribed for. Up to the present time 300,Uw
had been subscribed for.

It was then contended that the full amount not hail
been taken up, the contract between the plaintiffs and
defendant was void.

A case was quoted in support of this argument, and A
Mr. Leverson said he believed it had been ovencle";
But, until defendant was taken off the register he could °.
support the objection.
Defendant said he had never accepted the shares. ID
applled for shares in the expectation that the capital ad
been £330,000, and finding it was only £226,000, refused' t°
have anything to do with the company.
Mr. Leverson—You never said so. If you entertain 'the
point I must ask for an adjournment to produce authorities'
His Honour did not think the case quoted by the de-
fendant had been overruled, and was against plaintiffs 011
the point, but if the case was to be argued gr. Leveirs9ll
was entitled to an adjournment.
Mr. Leverson—l may say that there is hardly a company
in London in which the capital is paid up fully.
would
Defendant said he had never signed the deed which
complete the acceptance of the shares.

Mr. Leverson said that defendant might accep
either by signing the deed or by any means resolved uP°'

CITY, Two o'CLocE..
The demand for money continues very active,
and as several days are likely to elapse before there
is any diminution of the pressure, full rates are re-
quired for negotiating commercial bills. It is
rather surprising that so little should have been
said, especially in speculative circles, with regard
to the possibility of an advance in the minimum
quotation of the Bank of England; but at the pre-
sent moment the operators in public securities pay
greater attention to, and are more influenced by,
the tendency of political affairs abroad than the
course of the money market.
In consequence of the proposed establishment of a
