CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

This establishment has exactly hit the taste of th•
holiday folks. Money is nightly turned from the doom.
The revival of " Uncle Tom's CAL)," with the powerful
caste of Character, added to the superior manner it is
placed on the stage, has gained golden opinions ; while
" Life in Louden ; As it Was, and As it Is, "
alapted by Mr. Nelson Lee, has created qui to a
furore. " Tom Cribb's Parlou.r," as of old, introduc-
ing Harry Orme, Johnny Walker, Billy Duncan,
and Sam Millard, from Birmingham, who illustrate the
art of self-defence in a most scientific manner. We ad-
vise all those lovers of the manly art to witness this dis-
play ; it is managed most respectfully, reminding ns
strongly of the palmy days of the prize ring and the
Five] Court as of old. The theatre has lately been at-
tended by many of the nobility and aristocracy from the
West-end. The style of management at the City would
do credit to theatres of much greater protensions.

The Hague official journal announces that the Arch-
duke Maximilian of Austria is to arrive iz that city on
the 4th June.
We have received the Madrid Gazette of the 12th, the
only paper published on Monday, brit it con Lairs nothing
of political importance.
It is supposed by the Paris journals that by the let
of August there will not remain a foreign soldier on the
Russian territory.

the Austrian Concordat, amounted to 2051. ; and, more-
over, that the expenses incurred having been defrayed
by a committee of local gentlemen, a cheque for this
sum will be handed to the illustrious Magyar.—Leas
EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.—At the High Court of Justi-
ciary, Edinburgh, on Friday last., before the Lord Jus-
tice G-eneral, Lords Cowan, and Handyside, Jacob Chris-
tiansen, lately shipbroker, of Leith, was charged

to about 3,770/. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and
he was sentenced to be transported for life.
EXECUTION OF THE MURDERERS OF MISS

convicted at the recent special commission, the former
for the actual murder of Miss Hinds, and the latter for
conspiring with others to procure the perpetration of
that crime, took place on Saturday in front of the gaol
at Cavao.
ADELPHI THEATRE.—Mr. Carter, the well-known
treasurer of this theatre, has announced his annual
benefit for Wednesday next, and on which occasion the
celebrated drama of the "Green Bushes" will be played.
The respect generally entertained for the beneficiaire
willinsure him a crowded house.
SADLER'S WELLS ENGLISH OPERA.—Mr. Howard
Glover begins his long.announced series of English
operatic performances this evening with Balfe's Bohemian
Girl, for which additional music has been written by the
popular composer, who will make his first appearance
in England after a long absence, and conduct his own
opera. The cast, including Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves,
Mr. Delevanti, Mr. Weiss, and Miss Poole, is very
strong ; and these eminent singers will be supported by
an orchestra carefully selected from the Italian Opera
bands, comprising such artistes as Tolbecque, Remusat,
Maycock, Heussier (a new bassoon-player of celebrity
from Paris), Tbirlwall, Calkin, Collins, &c., and by a
chorus also drawn from the best sources. W.e hope that
this spirited undertaking will be attended with success.
