don is a swindler, who looks upon his intended mar-
riage merely as a speculation which will extricate
him from his present perilous position, and threatens
him with exposure, if he does not pay this parti-
cular debt of honour. :Brandon pays him, and
Hope is made practically, if not literally, to say,
." Well, you have paid me, and I will hold my
tongue." Again, at the end of the third act, it
would have been intensely more dramatic to have
let the audience just see that Harebell had gone
mad, than to have prolonged this scene to its
present length. With the exception of the really
beautiful and pathetic allusion at the close of the
act, to his dead wife—" his puir bonnie birdie"—
the other ravings -were uninteresting, although
splendidly acted. Why Lord Steelman should be
in a perpetual worry, and begging every one not to
pester him with questions, 'we are at a loss to con-
ceive. Mr. Herman Vezin has given us one of the
most admirable . impersonations the : history of
modern. drama can record.: Mr. Willv is inore
than fortunate to. have 'secured so truthful :an
interpreter of the exceptionally beautiful chhracter
of James Harebell: Mr. Veziii. conveyed in every
detail a not-to-be forgotten. impression of the
nobility and purity of character.' of the Scotch
poet, his passionate love of nature, his tender,
undying affection for his young wife and the little
" bairnies," and the :touching simplicity of his
generous unsuspecting confidence in his friend. In
some scenes his acting rose- to genius. Such-an
impression was felt by the audience in the scene
where he listened .to the accusations brought
against Braidon khis mute but eloquent appeal to
him to hurl be the lie,-as he thought, and finally
the terror of his grief 'on discovering the fatal
truth. Again, the contrast between the gloom of
the coming madness and the dread reality was
grandly and artistically portrayed. We could not
in such short space do adequate justice to all the
beauties of an impersonation which will long be
remembered as a model of superb acting. Mr.
Maclean played with remarkable ability, and quite
characteristically, the old Scotch servant, Saunders,
and sang like a musician the pathetic and beautiful
ballad in the last act. Miss Nelly Moore played
gracefully, as she always does, but with the excep-
tion of the first act, had but little opportunity for
the display of talents which are as well known as
they are appreciated. Miss Edith Stuart looked
and acted the poet's wife, the " bonnie birdie" char-
mingly. The remaining characters were fairly
represented. The music, which in such a play
should be a very important feature, is, if we except
the two ballads sung by Harebell and Saunders,
barely up to the mark. The introduction between
the acts of a sickly Godfrey waltz, wherein
" Comin' thro' the rye" is made to sanction a series
of commonplace themes, and a polka later on, quite
in keeping with the . waltz, is singularly out of
place. As a compensation, however, we may quote
the inexpressibly touching incident in the second
act, where the village children come to the poet's
window, and, scattering flowers, sing him his
favourite ballad. The scenery is good, especially
in the last act. Mr. Wills and Mr. Vezin are both
entitled to the sincerest congratulations—the for-
mer for a play which, on its own merits, deserves
a brilliant, and unprecedented run, and the latter
for acting that is too seldom witnessed, and delights
all who have the good fortune to behold it.—

Arrangements for the march of a " flying
column" from Aldershot to Sandhurst arc now com-
pleted, and, weather permitting, the column will
leave camp to-morrow, under the command of
Major-Gen. H. Renny, commanding the Ist In-
fantry Brigade 'at Aldershot. It will be composed
of a field battery of Royal Artillery, the 51th, 56th,
and 70th Regiments, with detachments of the Mili-
tary Train, Commissariat, and Royal Engineers.
The whole will encamp at Sandhurst, and during
its stay there the Deputy-Commissary-Gen. will
make arrangements for rationing the force.
The Ist Infantry Brigade at Aldershot, under the
command of Major-Gen. 11. Renny, had a field-day
on Friday. The brigade formed up on the Club-
house-green in line of contiguous columns shortly
before 11 o'clock. Points were at once thrown out,
and the troops marched past in grand. divisions in
quick time and in the following order :—Major
Deacon and the 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment ;
Major C. Rice and the 72d (Duke of Albany's Own)
llighlanders, Col. Harrison and 30th Staffordshire
Volunteers, Colonel Lacy, and 56th (West Essex)
Regiment. Having passed, each regiment reformed
column of companies from grand divisions, counter-
marched by ranks, and went past from the reverse
flank in quarter distance column en masse. They then
wheeled to the right, countermarched and marched
past by brigades in line of contiguous COlumili;-and
again from the reverse flank en masse at quarter-
distance, right in front. A series of brilliantly-
executed field movements-followed, and the brigade
returned to quarters about half-past 12 o'clock. On
the same day similar movements were executed by
3d brigade (43d, 68th, and 70th Regiments) under
Brigadier Greer, on the Queen's Parade, North
Camp. The cavalry brigade, consisting of the Ist
(King's) Dragoon Guards, the 4th (Royal Irish)
Dragoon Guards, and the 15th (the King's) Hussars
was also exercised in various movements under the
lieutenant-general commanding the Division.
The E battery, C brigade Royal Horse Artillery,
has struck tents on Cove-common and gone into
quarters in' the East Block Permanent Barracks,
lately vacated by A battery of the same brigade,
removed to Dorchester.

It is expected that the comparatively small force
now stationed at Aldershott Camp will shortly be
considerably reduced by removals of regiments, and
that scarcely more than 5,000 troops will be brigaded
there during the ensuing winter.
Brevet-Major Inman is under orders to join the
depot at Colchester on the Ist of October, when
Captain Le Mottee, 2d battalion 18th Regiment,
will proceed to the service companies in New
Zealand.

The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—Sub-Licut. W. M. Annesley
to the Minotaur ; Navigating Sub-Lieut. Walter S.
Chambre to the Deo ; J. •B. Hay, Naval Cadet,

paymaster, to the Lion.
