THEATRB ROYAL, LYCEUM.

The great success 6f Edward Lytton Balwer's play of
" Richlieu," render; no change necessary for the ensu-
ing week at the Lyceum Theatre. Since Mr.
Macready's retirement from the stage we have seen
nothing to surpays Mr. Charles Dillon's portrait of the
great Cardinal—the image of a byegone age is placed
vividly before us, and for discrimination and artistic
skill wo know no living actor of the day who can surpass
him in this magnificent and grand conception.
The burlesque on Tom Moore's (the Bard of Erin)
poem of " Lelia Rookh" pourtrays vividly in Oriental
magnificence this world wide and elegant work ; for
scenic illustration and Oriental grandeur it is unsurpassed
by any production of the present season. Mrs. A.
Mellor (late Miss Woolger) as the Prince F,rarnorz,
Mrs. Charles Dillon as Lalll Rookh, Mrs. Buckingham
White as the Captain of the Fire Worshippers, Miss
Eliza Webb as the Banished Peri Nat-noun@ (whose
singing cf the popular air "Ever of Thee," deserves
especial mention) —with the clever and facetious J. L.
Toole as Kborsabad (of villains the most facetious and
villanous) must fill this popular and elegant theatre with
crowded audiences for many—many evenings to come.

MONUMENT TO GENERAL HAVELOCK AT SUNDER-
LAND.—It is intended to erect a monument to the memory
of General Havelock in Sunderland, his native town.
Earl Vane has suggested to those who have interested
themselves in the matter that the monument be erected in
the now gardens in the vicinity of Biehopswearmouth ;
that a subscription be set on foot, to be limited to the
resident inhabitants and those connected with the county
of Durham ; and that there should be a limit to the
maximum subscriptions, so that all classes may contri-
bete. The matter is to be brought before the Sunder-
land town council on Wednesday next. The site proposed
for the erection of the monument is on the hill in the
People's Park, commanding a view for many miles of
the German Ocean, the ports of the Tyne, the Hartle-
pools, and the Tees Bay. Already a number of gentle-
men have offered to Subscribe the sum of 501. each.
MAJOR AND CAPTAIN ALISON.— Wo are happy to be
able to announce that from letters received in town yes-
terday from Ca ampere, it appears that both Major Alison
and Lis brother, Captain Alison, who were wounded in
the attack on Lucknow on the 16th of November, are
doing well, though the wound of the former was so
severe that he has lost his left arm. They were both
engaged at the head of the column, composed of the 93d
Highlanders and Sikhs, which aesauited the Secundabagh
in the early part of the day, but escaped unhurt, Captain
Alison's sword being only shot out of his hand in that
severe strife, when about 2,000 sepoys fell. In the attack
on the &Lan Musniffs mosque, one of the most despe-
rate fights ever witnessed, in the afterpart of the same
day, they were both wounded—the Major severely, by
a shot through the elhow, when in the act, along with
their brave and gallant Commander-in-chief, of dragging
up one of Captain Peel's heavy guns to breach the wall
of the mosque, from which a terrific fire issued, at a
distance of 12 yards. Sir Colin, cap in hand, was cheer-
ing ou the 93d, .which headed the assault, when he was
Vi oanded ; hut the Highlanders broke in when the wall
was breached, the band playing as they rushed in "The
Campbells are coming," amidst enthusiastic cheers.—
