THEATRE ROYAL.

Miss Madge Robertson's debut in Liverpool has been emi-
nently successful. During the last fortnight she has ap-
peared in a round of characters, and has shown herself
fully deserving of the very high praise which has been
lavished on her by the London ani provincial press. The
great charm of her acting is an entire absence of staginess
and artificiality, and the truthfulness and simplicity with
which she renders her well-conceived and truthful repre-
sentations. Amongst the many difficult characters she has
essayed perhaps her most successful effort was that of
Madame de Fontanges in Tom Taylor's drama of " Plot and
Passion," the every-varying emotions of which afforded
her full scope for the display of her great talent. Her
Juliet was also a brilliant performance, and her conception
of the character true, although differing slightly from the
conventional reading. In fact all Miss Robertson's imper
sonations are far above the average, and are marked by a
freshness and purity which is in the highest degree refresh-
ing, and which ought to obtain for her a high position in
the legitimate ranks.

Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill.

The following are the principal provisions of this
bill, which is now before
.the House of Commons:—The
High Court of Admiralty of England shall have jurisdic-
tion over any claim arising on any charter-party, bill of
lading, or other contract respecting the use or hire of any
ship, or the carriage of goods therein, as between the im-
mediate parties to such contract, or as between the owner
of the ship and any person claiming through or under any
such party, and over any claim concerning any ship or
goods relating to freight, insurance, demurrage, average or
short delivery or of damage to cargo, and generally over
any claim of a civil and maritime nature relating to any
ship, or to the goods carried therein. The jurisdiction con-
ferred by this act may be exercised by proceedings in rem,
or by proceedings in personam. The party at whose in-
stance any property is arrested under a warrant of the
High Court of Admiralty shall be liable to be condemned
in all costs and expenses occasioned thereby, and in da-
mages for the detention of property, unless he shows to the
satisfaction of the court that he could not without such
arrest have obtained bail or other security for the sum in
which the cause is instituted, or that he had otherwise
good and sufficient reason for having caused the issue and
execution of the warrant of arrest. The county courts
shall, in the cases following, have all the like civil and
maritime jurisdiction as, for the tia'o being, belongs to the
High Court of Admiralty of E❑gland, that is to say--(1.)
Where the amount in dispute does not exceed £5OO. (2.)
Where the amount in dispute oxceeds.£soo, butithe parties
agree that a county court shall have jurisdiction. (3.)
Where this act provides for the retention or prosecution of a
cause in a county cou► t. The High Court of Admiralty, on
motion by any party to an Admiralty cause pending in a
county court, may, if it thinks fit, transfer the cause to iho
High Court of Admiralty. If, during the progress of an
Admiralty cause in a county court, it appears to the court
that the subject matter exceeds the limit in respect of
amount of the Admiralty jurisdiction of the court
the validity of any order or decree theretofore
made by the rn court shall not be thereby affected,
but (unless the parties agree by a memoran-
dum signed by them or their attorneys or agents, that
the court shall retain jurisdiction) the court shall by or-
der transfer the cause to the High Court of Admiralty.
General orders may from time to time provide for the
'framing of lists of persons of mercantile or nautical skill
and experience to act as assessors in the High Court of
Admiralty and in the courts, and for the publication of the
lists, and fcr the ascertainment of the cases in which as •
sesOrs'are to be summoned, and the mode in which they
are,td be selected, and their, functions, .and the proceedings
in/Ito cases in'which they sit, and their remuneration. An
appeal shall lie to the High Court of Admiralty from the
final decree, order, or decision of a county court in an Ad-
miralty cause.

TRANSATLANTIC STEAM NAVIGATION.-With a
view to keep pace with the rapid strides which
Transatlantic steam navigation is now making, and
in order to meet the greatly increasing require-
ments of their well-known line (carrying the U. S.
mail), the Hamburg American Company decided
sometime since to add two new steamers to their
already powerful fleet. The first of these, the splen-
did
has, within the last
few
days, screw-steamer Hammonia,
made her trial trip; she has been built by
Messrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock, and no cost
has been spared to render her one of the finest
steamers afloat, as may be seen from the following
particulars :—Length between perpendiculars, 330
feet ; breadth, 48 feet; depth, 34 feet ; builders'
measurement, 3,000 tons ; engines, 500 nominal
horselpower. On the trial trip she attained a speed
of 15 knots, with 56 revolutions per minute ; steam,
25 lbs. ; vacuum, 27. She will be commanded by
Capt. Ehlers, late of the Germania, and is appointed
to sail on her first voyage for New York, from
Hamburg, on the 3d March, and from Southamp-
ton on the 6th March. There is little doubt that,
possessing the essential points of speed and safety,
the Ilammonia will fully maintain the prestige of
this celebrated line between the Continent and.
America. The other new steamer, the Cambria
(also built by Messrs. Caird), is appointed to make
her first voyage to New York, sailing from Hamburg
on the 31st March, and Southampton on the 3d
April. She will be commanded by Capt. Traut-
mann, late of the Allemannia, alTd is in every respect
equal, if not superior, to the Havionia. The addi-
tion of these steamers could not ha'e been made at
a more opportune period, as the line 'will be one of
themost favourite with American passengers coming
to the Paris Exhibition.

A telegraphic wire has been laid between the
Corps Legislatif and the Emperor's study in the
Tuileries, by means of which his Majesty receives
reports of the debates while they are going on.

ILUILBOROUG fl-STREET.
COWARDLY ASSAULT. —J. W. Waters, cab-driver, was
charged with assaulting Louisa Smith, a young woman.
The complain‘nt (an " unfortunate") said that early this
morning she was iu Little Windmill-street, and because
she declined the prisuner's company, he knocked her down,
and ran away, leaving her lying blooding on the pave-
ment. Sho said the prisoner was quite a stranger to her.

W. Wallis, 83 C, said that, hearing a cry ofTh Police !"
ho wont to Little Windmill-street, and saw the prisoner
strike the complainant twice, and then run away as fast as
he could. He went after the prisoner and took him into
custody.
In answer to the prisoner, the constable stated that the
prisoner did not stop when he called to him.
The constable, in reply to Mr. Arnold, said that both the
complainant and the prisoner were sober. The blows given
by the prisoner were very severe ones.

The prisoner said that he had given the complainant
some money, and she refused to give it him back.
Mr. Arnold said that whatever might have taken place
between, the prisoner was not justified in assaulting the
complainant. Women of the complainant's class were en-
titled by law to as much protection as any one else. He
should commit the prisoner for 14 days with hard labour.

authority to communicate with the several vestries

THE PARIS EXHIBITION.

---
Mr. B. HOPE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether all or any portion of,the munitions of war, includ-
ing machinery, had been shipped for or otherwise trans-
mitted to Paris for the purposes of the Great Exhibition in
that city ; and if so, at what date such transmission took
place and by whose authority.
General PEEL said the determination to exhibit muni-
tions of war at the Paris Exhibition had been come to
before he was appointed to the War Office. A contract
had been entered into for the conveyance of those articles
to Paris, and as no question had been raised up to the pre-
sent time all things were ready for shipment, and the
vessels sailed yesterday. Had any questions been raised
he should have stopped the departure of the vessels, even
at the expense of breaking the contract entered into.

hero. Lunatic was prepared' on the Telscombe gallops, but
from last Thursday he had been exercised under the care
'of his jockey, Walter Cook, on the Lewes Hill. Betting
became slightly in favour of Eastbourne when it oozed out
that a certain jockey known to fame as George Fordham,
who was staying in the neighbourhood, would be entrusted
with the mount. Mr. Marcus Vorrall acted as judge, and
the following was the result of the raco:—
Match, 50 sovs, 10 ft, 12st each ; 2 miles.
Mr. Paxton's Eastbourne (G. Fordham) 1
Mr. Tompsett's Lunatic (W. Cook) 2
Betting-2 to lon Eastbourne. The non-favourite
went off like mad to tko half-mile post, where Ferdhatn
brought up Eastbourne, and after "kidding" at the dis-
tance, canto away opposite the stand, and won by a length.
Several well known racing meu were present, including
Mr. R. Potter and Mr. "Dalby" Bennett. The result of 11,,9
match was received with loud cheering, and Fordham may
claim the honour of having ridden the winner of the 'Ars;
flat race of 1867.

STEAM FIRE-ENGINES IN YORKSHIRE. The
Bradford Observer of the 24th inst. contains au account of
a recent meeting of the town council, when it was decided
by a majority of 22 to 11, to purchase one of Shand, Mason,
and Co.'s steam fire-engines for the use of the borough.
This matter has boon in agitation since last August, when
an interesting series of competitive trials took place in
Bradford. These trials, coupled with a subsequent fall
and searching inNestigation into the merits of the various
engines, enabled the council to arrive at the above decision.
It is expected that other large towns in Yorkshire will
follow the example of Bradford, and will, like the metro-
polis, use steam power instead of manual labour iu the
wrvikmg of their fire engines.

HIGH FALUTIN.

This is a glorious country! It has longer rivers and
more of them, and they aro muddier and deeper, and run
faster, and rise highs, and make more noise, and fall
lower, and do more damage than anybody else's rivers•
It has more lakes, and they are bigger and-deeper, and
clearer, and wetter than those of any other country
Oar rad-cars rua Listei-, and pitch olf au'
track oftener, and kill more people than all other rail-cars
in this and every other country. Our steamboats carry
biggerloads, are longer and broader, burst their boilers
oftener, and send up their passengers higher, and the
captains swear harder than steamboat captains in anY
other country. Our men are bigger, and longer, and
thicker; can fight harder and faster, drink more menu
whisky, chew more bad tobacco, and spit more, and spit
further than in any other country. Our ladies are richer,
prettier, dress finer, spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses, and kick up the devil
generally to a greater extent than all other ladies iu all
other countries. Our children squall louder, grow faster,
get too expansive for their pantaloons, and become twenty
years old sooner by some months than any other children
of any other country on the earth."

Or take, again, that provocative to inextinguishable
laughter which we remember giving a few weeks
back in The Sun as a side-headed para-
graph, but which is worth while repeating—now
that we learn from the Quarterly, where the inci-
dent referred to is said to have occurred (accord-
ing to the veracious account of the circumstance
in a Pittsburgh paper), viz., at Petersville in Penn-
sylvania. The case being one of self-murder, and
the following schedule of misfortunes having been
found in the victim's left boot—we are enabled still
to entitle it—

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES,

CAITHNESS.

The first ordinary general meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the Westminster Palace
Hotel ; the Earl of Caithness in the chair.
The notice convening the meeting having been
read,

The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was held
in compliance with the requirements of the Act of
Parliament. In fact, the state of the money market
had rendered it impossible to proceed with the
works as had been desired ; but he trusted that be-
fore long, not only would the Caithness line be ac-
tively proceeded with, but that they would have
through railway communication by means of the
Sutherland and other lines from John o'Groat's house
to the Lands-end. With respect to the advantage
of the line to the town of Wick he had received a
letter from the editor of a paper there stating that
steamers were then not able to get into that port,
and that upwards of 500 tons of fish were lying at
Wick, the greater portion of which would be spoilt
for want of convenient transport. So that, in fact,
the Caithness people must put their hands in their
pockets and endeavour to carry out this very im-
portant undertaking. He need not say any more
on that occasion, as all they had now to do was to
elect a board of directors, and he thought they could
not do better than elect those named in the Act of
Incorporation.
Mr. N.. Giles was appointed hon. secretary to the
company, and the directors named in the act were
elected directors of the Caithness Railway Company.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to
the chairman for presiding, and for the great inte-
rest he had exerted in favour of the undertaking.

JUSTIFIABLE SUICIDE.

"I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. M 1
father visited our house very often, feH in love with ml
step-daughter, and married her. So my father became my
son-in law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she
was father's wife. Some time afterwards my wife had
a son—he was my father's brother-in-law and any uncle, for
he was the brother of my step-m Other. My father's wife--
ie., my step-daughter, had also a son : he was, of course,
my brother, and in the mean time my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grand-
mother, because she was my mother's mother. I was my
wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And us
the.hulba4d of a person's grandmother is his grandfather,
I was my own grandfather."

A few more specimens of Yankee humour mat
be added to the foregoing, as follows
" Kentucky must have the credit' for 'that wonderful
curative ointment, which was so effective that when 3
dog's tail had been cut off they had ortly,to apply the oint-
ment, whereupon a new tail instantly sprouted: and e
youngster, with a genuine Yankee turn of thought, pinked
up the old tail, and tried the ointment upon it, when it
grew into a second dog, so like the other that no one could
toll which was which. There is just a smile of this kind
of humour in a story told of two Yankees on meeting ; the,
ono said, ' How are you, old Ben Russell ?" Come now,
says the other, bet you I aint any older than you I
Tell us, what is the earliest recollection that you have r
Well,' says he, looking back intently through the mists
of memory, 'the very first thing that 1 can remember is
hearing people say, as you went by, 'there goes old Ben
Russell !' "

Or take one or two of Jash Billings' Sayings
is dreadful oasy to bo a fool. A man can be a fool
and not know it.

"Clod save the fools, and don't lot them run out ! for if
it wasn't for them, wise men couldn't get a living."

"When a fellow gets to going down hill, it does seemo
as though everything had been greased for the occasion.
As a fitting close to this exceptionally good number
of the Quarterly, we have a vigorous though of
course a highly Governmental view of English
Democracy and Irish Fenianism"— a political paper
which here and there seems to sound the note of
preparation for the party battles now about to be
opened in February.
