ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Madame Ristori repeated her character of Adri-
enne Lecouvreur at this theatre last evening, fully
sustaining her reputation already acquired in it.
Perhaps there are roles wherein her great and truly
tragic powers may be more equally displayed, as
in Phedre and Lady Macbeth, but the exciting
passion and variety of dramatic positions afforded
in Adrienne yield startling and thrilling effects,
hich create intense emotions in her auclienc?.

Her powerful expression of tenderness and
feminine devotion is prominently evident in this
character, and in delicate womanly softness and
pathos she unquestionably exceeds her late
gifted sister is Art, Rachel. Her scenes of con-
flicting love, jealousy, and despair, were most
impressively given, and the death scene eli-
cited a very painful and extreme degree of sym-
pathy. The passages of wandering reason, and the
recognition of her lover and her old friend hanging
over her dying form, were acutely pointed in effect,
and a sensible relief was experienced when she sank
dead in her chair. Madame Ristori was ably sup-
ported, especially by the representatives of
illichonnct, the Countess, and the Abbe. Her ap-
pearance in IVledea, to-mor ow evening, will afford
great gratification to her admirers, as it is one of
her most intense impersonations.

Some anxiety has been expressed at the absence of
news respecting the progress of the Atlantic telegraph
squadron. In most quarters, however, the non-arrival
of intelligence is considered a favourable feature, it being
argued that, had any mishap occurred, some of the ves-
sels engaged would hare ere now returned. As the pay-
ing-out of the cable is to be commenced in mid-ocean, it
is probable that the first news received still communicate
either the gratifying success or complete failure of this
moat important and interesting undertaking.
THIS CAMDEN-TOWZI RAILWAY LIBRARY', &c.—The

CIVILIANS AND llERoes.—For the benefit of the hon.
proprietor who cautiously inquired at the meeting on
Wednesday last if Sir James Outram had a son, we will
relate au anecdote highly creditable to all concerned in
it. It will he in the memory of our readers that shortly
after the outbreak at Delhi, and while the upper pro-
vinces were iu the first terrible throes of insurrection, a
small baud of volunteers proceeded from Agra, and oc-
cupied the Allyghur district. For many days, and even
weeks, did this gallant little band assert the Britleh su-
premacy in the lace of overwhelming numbers of armed
and infuriated rebel. At length their position became
so imminently critical that Lady Outram, naturally ap-
prehensive for the safety of her youthful son, a young
Bengal civilian "out" with the volunteers, besought
the Lieutenant-Governor to recall them to Agra. Mr.
Colvin, with characteristic amiability, yielded to her re-
quest, and issued the necessary instructions. On being,
made acquainted with their tenor, Mr. Paterson Saun-
ders, an "interloper," who presumed to render the Go-
vernment much good service throughout the ensuing
campaign, repaired to Mr. Watson, the magistrate of
the district, and asked what he proposed to do ? " Re-
main at my post" ," was the calm reply. " Bet you will
be cut to pieces, rejoined Mr. Saunders. " I know it;
bet it is my duty to remato here." "Then I will remain
too," ixciaimed the gallant planter, "and I shall be
much surprised if some of our fellows don't do the same."
He was not mistaken ; at least a dezen brave gentle-
men volunteered to share the fate of their leader, and
nobly did they redeem their pledge. Nor was young
Outram wanting on this occasion. He thanked the
Lieutenant-Governor for thinking of him at all at such
a moment; but added that, if any favour was to be
shown to him for his father's Fake, he begged it might
be the permi,eion to be the last Eaglishman to leave
the poet of danger. Is it necessary to add that this
handful of prcux clscvaliers long held their ground
against fearful odds, and only retreated to Agra when
further resistance was as impossible as it would have
been useleise. Sir James Charism need not fear that his
honours will be tarnished •in being transmitted to his
eutteessor.—Alleit's Indian Nail.

A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" A project
is now before the Gjvcrnment for reducing the
monetary unity at present employed to the same
amount as that iu use in Fz.ance, and for making
other monetary reforms. The Council of the Empire
has authorised the Minister of Finance to coin and
issue 3,000,000 roubles of copper money. M.
Brock, ex-Minister of Finance, has gone abroad,
and is to stop for a year. The Customs and Sini-
tary Police having been organised at S. Nicholas,
in the Caucasus ; that port is opened for com-
merce, as are those of Anapa, Soukhoum, Re-
dout, and Poti ; foreign vessels are to be admitted
on the 27th July. The first iron transport built at
Astrakan has just been launched ; it is called the
Calmouk. Gold has just been discovered in seve-
ral places in the neighbourhood of Lake Baikal, in
Siberia, and it is not doubted that abundance of
coal exists in the country."
