THE CABINET TEEATRE.

We might have gone further and fared worse ! This
observation applies to an expedition on Friday evening
to the neighbourhood of King's-cross, not to book our-
selves by the Great Northern Railway, but to occupy a
booked stall, at the Cabinet Theatre, Liverpool-street,
in tbat vicinage, where a choice selection of literary
gentlemen, associated with the proper amount and
quality of ladies, had assembled, in a praiseworthy
attempt, to act, en amateur, Shakespeare's play
of " The Merchant of Venice." It has always
been deemed possible to summons spirits from the
vasty deep, the query has been in reference to their
attending the call. Actors have recently been sum-
moned from the distant suburbs of Pentonville,
and by the Wednesday's account in the public
journals they did come. Some persons, from the
tact of being unknown, rejoice in a nayster►ous kind
of celebrity ; there is now, however, no mystery upon
this subject. Well, we went to the Cabinet, and
we were at least most agreeably surprised to assist
at a reading of the- Bard of Avon's Play, replete
with intelligence. The amateurs were all gen-
tlemen, and spoke their lines well. Mr. C. A. Lewis,
the " Shylock" of the evening, particularly distinguished
hiuiself—no small praise, as we were given to understand
he had only once before faced an audience. Messrs. Macklin
and Malden, played Antonio and Bassanio with much
acceptance, Mr. Rivers, Gratiano, a soupcon, too
sepulchrally, and Mr. Edwin, Launcelot Gobbo, very
funnily. An original (no small praise in these trans-
lating days !) farce, from the pen of Mr. C. A. Lewis,
followed, in which he himself played the hero, a fast
young swell, with debts illimitable, and income the
reverse. Indeed, his only blessing was described to be
a handsome wife—Miss Clara Elliott (a pupil of Mr.
Searle and " the Portia" of the play !) enacted, with
much intelligence, the delicious "cara sposa" in ques•
lion! This clever little sketch was entitled " Mae
queradere," and it would be certain of a successful run
at any of our west-end theatres.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Political discussions seem completely abandoned
for the moment by the Paris journals.
The Moniteur of to-day publishes the concession
of mines in New Caledonia..

M. Henri de Pene, the contributor to the Paris
Figaro, who was so dangerously wounded by Lieu-
tenant Hycnne in the duel near Versailles about
four months ago, has taken up the pen again, and
writes a letter to the Brussels journal, Le Nord,
from the baths of Nauheim in Germany. M. de
Pene states that he has completely recovered from
his wounds, and is now restored to perfect health.
A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels has the
following :—" Lord Palmerston, during the last
days of his residence at Paris, saw more than once
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Lord Cowley, Lord
Howden, Baron de Rothschild, and M. Thiers. M.
Thiers came up from his retreat at Franconville,
where he is completing the last two volumes of his
History of the Empire, to see the ex-Minister. At
one of their meetings at the Hotel Bristol, Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe was present, and the conver-
sation having turned on the state of Turkey,
_M.
Thiers asked Lord Palmerston if he thought the
sick man' was- about to die. The English states-
man replied, according to his custom, by plea-
santry—' I was one day walking in the streets of
London,' said he, ' when a person told me that
my pocketlhandlkerchief was banging out of my
pocket, and that I should lose it ! Thank you, sir,'
I answered, but I believe that unless some one
pulls it out it will not fall !i Well, Turkey is in the
same position—if she be not thrown down she will,
I am convinced, maintain herself perfectly !' "
A Paris letter in the Journal dit Havre says
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, in, reply to a ques-
tion as to the length of his stay at Constantinople,
said that he did not think it would exceed a week,
and that he should not have gone, back at all if it
were not to obtain some important papers which he
had deposited in a place of safety. In diplomatic
circles it has been remarked that Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe did not make a single diplomatic visit
durink his stay at Paris."

BOURSE, Sept. 13.—The market at the opening was
rather flat, and prices slightly declined, owing to
large realisations ; the tone of the Bourse continued,
however, favourable, and money abundant for in-
vestment in good securities. Tbrees, after having
been done at 72f. 80c., rallied to 72f. 90c. ; Mobilier
varied from 927 f. 50c. to 937 f. 50c. ; Austrian, 692 f.
50c. to 695 f. ; Orleans, 1,407 f. 50c. to 1,412 f. 50c.;
Northern, 977 f. 50c. to 980 f. ; Eastern, 752 f. 50c.
to 755 f. ; and Southern, 592 f. 50c. to 597 f. 50c.
The market became rathei heavy towards the close,

cutta, Bombay, and Mauritius, arrived at 5 p.m.

" The ship and passengers will be two days in

London, England, 1858-09-14

SCREW v. PADDLE.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Malta sailed from the Mersey, for Southampton, on
Tuesday, after leaving the large gravinc, dock, in
the shipbuilding yard of Mr. John Land, at Bir-
kenhead, where the facilities of that fine establish-
ment had been again satisfactorily tested in the im-
portant operations of transforming a somewhat
slow-going paddle into a fast-sailing screw steamer.
The successful results which have followed this
transformation in the Malta are powerful argu-
ments in favour of the screw, as compared with the
paddle, so far, at all events, as regards speed and
economy. The following figures show
steamer, the former
dimensions of the ship when a paddle an
her dimensions since the alterations :—As a paddle
—Length between the perpendiculars, 209 feet ;
beam (between paddles), 35 ; ditto (over sponsons),
39 ; depth of hold, 21 ; tonnage ;1,225 tons. As a
screw—Length between perpendiculars, 280 feet ;
beam (between paddles), 38 ; depth of hold, 29 ;
tonnage, 2,020 tons.
The increased length has been added to each end
of the vessel, and the removal of the sponsons has
been taken advantage of to increase the width
of the spar or cabin deck six feet, extending
the accommodation for passengers, while add-
ing in no slight degree to the beauty of the
vessel's outline. With the exception of the en-
gines, which are 500 horse-power, and have been
made by Messrs. It. Napier and Son, Glasgow, the
entire work, including the boilers, was planned and
executed at Mr. Laird's ard, a sufficient proof of
the immense facilities to be found at the " Birken-
head Ironworks." The engines were sent down by
rail when the vessel was ready for their reception,
and they were put on board by the powerful crane
on the dock quay, with ease and. security. The ad-
vantafies which the owners of the Malta are likely
to derive from the alterations may be seen from the
fact that while her average speed as a paddle-wheel
steamer was not more than eight or nine knots an
hour, on her first run from Liverpool to Southamp-
ton, as a screw steamer, she accomplished an average
speed of 121 knots an hour, though down by the
head, having her full complement of coal, water,
and provisions on board, with spare machinery and
stores not usually carried. In lighter trim the speed
i• s, of course, considerably greater. On the trial
trip, from the Northwest Lightship to the Bell
Buoy, she made 1311 knots, under the disadvantage
of a heavy beam sea and wind. The passage to
Southampton was also made under very unfavour-
. able circumstances, having to contend against a
strong wind and. heavy sea, as far as the Land's
End, with no assistance from sail during, the pas-
sage. This, we believe, is the first experiment of
• the kind, and -goes far to increase confidence in
screw vessels. From the result of the Malta's trials
so far, we may put her down as one of the fastest
screw vessels afioat—Liverpool Albion.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th state that Gen.
Prim, who, in addition to the military experience
gained in the civil wars, took part in Omer Pacha's
campaign
,on the Danube, is to be appointed com-
mander of the expedition against the Riffs. ,They
add that the
,expedition is extremely popular
throughout the country, the atrocities of the pi-
rates having long excited the indignation of the
people, and even been made the subject of songs,
plays, and novels. The Espana, whilst thanking
the French Emperor for having approved of the
expedition, expresses the hope that Spanish troops
will be also engaged in it. One of the journals
says that the Queen desired that the name of
O'Donnell should be given to the ship
of the line launched at Ferrol, but that
the President of the Council declined the
honour. It is stated that, whilst in some
parts of the country the elections excite so little
attention that it has been found almost impossible
to organise committees, in others they have created
as much enthusiasm as those of 1854. Letters from
Barcelona state that the workmen have for the
most part returned to the mills, and that public
confidence is completely restored. They also state,
on what they represent to be undeniable authority,
that Captain-General Dulce has declared to the
Government that he does not see any necessity for
prolonging the state of siege in Catalonia, which,
with short intervals, has lasted upwards of 20
years ; also that trade is improving, authority re-
spected, and confidence in the Government com-
plete., however, that it will be'

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag- of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

THE ARMY.

The camp which was formed at Chatham at the
commencement of the summer, fOr a portion of the
East India depots attached to the first and i
thrd
battalions, has been entirely broken up, and the
whole of the troops, formerly occupying the tents
pitched within the Spur battery and at Prince
Edward's bastion, quartered either in the huts at
Brompton, or else in Chatham barracks. The ne-
cessity of providing additional accommodation for
the troops was forced upon the attention of the au-
thorities early in the summer, in consequence of
smallpox, measles, and other epidemics, breaking
out among. the crowded troops, chiefly recruits,
quartered in the barracks. It was then decided
'that a few troops should be placed under canvas
l an experiment, but on
.its being subsequently
*scertained that the barracks were becoming as
crowded as ever, an increased number of men were

encamped, and this number was from time to time
augmented, until several depots were placed under
canvas. It is now understood that a camp on a large
scale will be formed at Chatham every year in order
that all the troops sent to that garrison may under-
go the experience of a camp life before embarking
for India or the colonies.

TILE ENGLISH AT BIARRITZ.

Among the sojourners at Biarritz may be seen
many English as well as Russians and Germans.
Some of these gentlemen seem to have visited the
place for the purpose of displaying queer coats and
impossible pantaloons, making their appearance
each day in a garment more and more " stunning "
and outre. A young Englishman especially dis-
tinguishes himself in this respect, and one wonders
where he ever contrived to find the stuffs out of
which he has had the extraordinary clothes made
that he daily produces. All day long he effectually
succeeds in attracting more than a usual share ofpub-
lic attention, and seems but the more happy from the
fact. I have, says a correspondent, the honour of
stopping at the same house as this distinguished
personage, and find daily amusement at mealtime
in noticing his manner. He is evidently thoroughly
the cockney, and looks with suspicion upon French
politics and French food. He utterly condemns,
when first arrived at the table, all that he sees, and
audibly refers to a London tavern and beefsteaks.
Still he has bathed, inhaled the healthy sea-
breeze, and has consequently got an enormous ap-
petite. Little by little his scruples seem to
vanish, and at last he goes in with a relish that is
quite refreshing to see. But the appetite satisfied,
he again has recourse to his eve-glass, and again
his comments are, to say the feast, not flattering.
And so on each day he finds fault, and then eats
and drinks to find fault again. As for the young
ladies that claim Old England as their home, I can
say better things for them. They run about the
cliffs gay and healthy, and looking most captivat-
ing in their light summer dresses, and hat and
feathers. These same hats are, by-the-bye, much
worn here ; in fact, they are the fashion now, as the
Empress always has one on. The gentlemen call
them " Come and kiss me if you dare."

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The comet has been particu-
larly noticeable from the grounds and terraces of the Crystal
Palace for the last two evenings. Last evening the pecu-
liar clearness of the atmos_phere tempted a party of astrono-
mical enthusiasts to spend some hours in observations on
the top of one of the Water Towers: Nothing could ex-
ceed the favouring circumstances under which their obser-
vations were made, and, should the present favourable
weather continue, they anticipate repeating and confirming
their calculations.
CHANGE IN A BANKING FIR:II.—A circular has
just been issued by Messrs. Pease, of Hull, bankers, of the
firm of Pease and Liddell, announcing that Mr. G. W. M.
Liddell, and Mr. William Liddell have ceased to be part-
ners in the banking establishuient carried on at Hull, under
the firm of Pease and Liddells, and at Beverley, under the
firm of Marshall, Pease, and Liddells, and that they have
taken into partnership Mr. Francis Hoare (brother of Mr.
John Gurney Hoare and Mr. Joseph. Hoare, of the firm of
Barnett, Hoares, and Co., of London, bankers), and Mr.
Arthur Burton Pease • and the banks willhe carried on at
Hull under: the firm of?" Peases, Hoare, and Pease," and

GERMANIC DIET.

The following is the official extract from the
minutes of the sitting of the Germanic Diet on the
9th :—" In execution of the resolution of the 12th
ult., relative to the constitutional affair of the
duchies of Holstein and Lauenbourg, the Danish
representative has made the following declaration:
—After his Majesty's Government had expressed
in the sitting of the 15th July, and in view of the
Federal resolution of the 20th August last, relative
to the affair of the duchies, its intention of tempo-
rarily considering the general constitution of the
2d Oct., 185:5, as being no longer in force for
the duchies of Holstein and La,uenbourg, it was re-
quested, by a resolution of the High Assembly, on
the 12th of last month, to explain itself in a more
precise manner as to the question whether, with
the constitution of the 2d Oct., the Danish Govern-
ment also meant to put out of force for the duchies
the Royal patents of the 16th Oct., 1855, relative to
the establishment of a Ministry for the internal
affairs of the duchy of Holstein. At the same time,
the King's Government was requested by the said
resolution of the Diet to make a confidential com-
munication as to the manner in which it intended
to settle the constitutional affairs of the duchies of
Holstein and Lauenbourg. On the first point, it
has been already remarked in the report of the
29th July, which preceded the last federal reso-
lution, that the Royal Government expressed in
its declaration of the 26th March last its intention
to enter into negotiations with the States on the
disputed provision of the constitution of Hol-
stein, as well as in the ordinance of the 23d June,
1853, and that consequently there was every reason
=to suppose that the provisions relative to th 3 gene-
ral constitution would be extended to the laws and
Ortlinancea which ire is 3lecoory relation with it.

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter, in the New Prussian
Gazette, says :—" It is whispered here that the
Emperor waits for a report from his brothers, who
are engaged in inspecting the army of the Caucasus,
to come to a definitive resolution as to the continu-
ance or cessation of the war in those regions. In
comparing the blood which has been shed, and the
millions expended, with the advantages gained, the
latter bear no proportion to the former."

DRU.RY-LANE THEATRE

The " Fyne and Harrison management" has once more
settled within the spacious and noble walls of Drury-lane
Theatre, and the season of 13 weeks, of which the particulars
have been circulated in a handsome glazed prospectus,
emulating the aristocratic documents of a like character
issued from the Haymarket and Bow-street, commenced last
night. The opera lighted on for the occasion was, as might
be supposed, the successful product of the previous season,
Balfe's "'Rose of Castille," and that the choice was no ill-
judged one was made pretty evident by one of the most
thoroughly well-filled houses it is possible to see. The cast
of the parts was in every respect the same as on the first
production of the opera, save that Don Pedro was sung by
Mr. F. Glover, and not by Mr. Weiss ; but this was no
novelty, for the substitution had already been occasionally
resorted to. Both Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison were in
excellent voice, and their exertions fell on no ungrateful
soil, but were returned with a harvest of "encores," which
it would be needless to particularise. It will be enough to
say that the Muleteer's song in the first act, the ballad of
the " Convent cell," and the laughing duo and trio were
among them, and that generally the encores of last season
are the encores of this.

At the close of the first act the manageress and manager,
whose reception on their first entrance had been of the
warmest description, were recalled and subjected to a salvo
of bouquets--a ceremonial which was repeated at the fall of
the curtain. Not to the hero and heroine of the opera alone
were the honours of the evening due, a fair share of which
must be reserved to the experienced and skilful conductor,
Mr. Alfred Mellon, and the admirable corps of instrumen-
talists under his command.

The opera was followed by the National. Anthem, sung
by the entire company. One of the solos was sung by
Miss Rainforth, whose name is identified with the early
glories of the " Bohemian Girl," but whose pleasant voice
has not resounded in London for some years. She sang
with her accustomed taste and much of her former sweet-
ness. For the sake of the past, and for her present merits,
Miss Rainforth is a welcome addition to the company.

A ballet divertissement, wherein Mdlle. Zilia Michelet,
from the Grand Opera in Paris, Mdlle. Pasquale, and
Mdlle. Morlacchi, distinguished themselves by some very
graceful and, as respects the first-named, finished dancing,
completed the night's performances.
The house, as before-mentioned, was most satisfactorily
replete, and that so many and such enthusiastic patrons are
ready, at the first bidding, to come forward and support
English opera is a favourable augury of the success which
awaits the " Pyne and Harrison management" in the
future.
