THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. —His Royal
Highness tke Duke of Edinburgh, attended by Lord Hard-
wick° and the Hun. Eliot Yorke, honoured the performance
by his presence at this theatre last evening.
We understand that her Majesty's Government
have protested against the decision arrived at in the case
of the Tornado, on account of the irregularity and infor-
mality of the proceedings in the Spanish Prize Court.
There can be no doubt that the evidence against the Tor-
nado is calculated to arouse the gravest suspicions as to
her ultimate destination ; and it is unfortunately only too
clear that if the ship be legally condemned as a Chilian
ship of war her crew may be regarded and treated as pri-
soners of war. Altogether the case is one of considerable
complication ; but there is no reason to apprehend that
the Spanish authorities will not eventually do justice in
the matter.—Herald.
A rumour was current in Bombay, when the last
mail left, to the effect that preparations had been ordered
by Lord Cranborne for an expedition to Abyssinia. Up
to the present moment no information has been received
in this country as to the result of Mr. Flad's and Colonel
Merewether's mission to King Theodore, so that it is very
improbable any such stop should have boon taken. The
report is at least premature, and we caution the public
against attaching any importance to it.—herald.
MR. JOHN BRIGHT AND HIS WORKPEOPLE.—
Mr. John Bright has again and again been charged with
being unpopular with his workpeople in Rochdale, hooted
from his promises, and with placardiug his mill with " No
Irish need apply." The slander has been repeatedly dis-
proved, yet it is still reiterated even by gentlemen in holy
orders. However, now the workjioople of Mr. Bright think
it high time to interfere, and the other day they met in
a body, and appointed a deputation to wait upon the hon.
member for Birmingham to ask him to consent to receive
an address from them, assuring him of their respect, and
regretting the calumnies heaped upon him by various in-
dividuals undeservedly. !Mr. Bright consented, and the
workpeople are now arranging to hold a meeting on au
early day.

The Italian papers state that, owing to high winds
in the Adriatic, Venice has been inundated to an extent
which has never boon equalled within the memory of any
of the inhabitants. The Piazza of San Mark was so
flooded that boats and gondolas passed over it, and the
whole of the space had the appearance of a vast lake.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE BLYTH AND TYNE
RAILWAY.—On Saturday morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock,
a man named William Clough, fireman, 19 years of age, in
the service of the Blyth and Tyne Railway Company, was
killed whilst at work on an engine passing along the line
near Backworth. He was busy among the coke whilst the
locomotive was in motion, and in passing undo► Backworth
Bridge his head came in contact with the woodwork,
knocking him backwards. On being picked up by the engine
driver he was quite dead.—North Daily Express.
MIL. GLADSTONE AND THE LIBERAL PARTY.—
It is assorted that on Mr. Gladstone's return to England a
conference will be held under his 'auspices between the
heads of the sections comprising the Liberal party. The
right hon. gentleman is expected in Paris next week, and
will, in all probability, be in London before the close of
this month.
A NEW PLAY, BY M. ALEX. D UMAS, JUN., enti-
tled "Les Id6es de Madame Aubray," is in preparation at
the Gymnaso.
THE COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT'S HEALTH.—We
regret to find, by a letter iu the Monde, that that eminent
author is still far from being re-established. The Count
writes—" After eight months' treatment, the doctors
abandon me to nature, without giving me any definite hope
as to the term of my illness. However, they say I shall
be cured sooner or later, and that I shall be better in the
spring, without promising me a complete recovery by that
time."

A LONDON STREET STATUE OF SHAKSPERE.—A
gentleman of business in the City of London suggests,
through the Athenzum, that a bronze statue of Shakspere
should be set up on that part of the Thames Embankment
fronting the Temple-gardens, and offers a premium of fifty
guineas for the best design, twenty for the second, and
ton for the third. As this gentleman is not connected with
either literature or art, and desires a strict incognito to be
preserved, the generosity of his offer will meet with gene-
ral admiration, and we hope to see the statue erected.
THE RECENT DUELS IN FRANCE.—Lieutenant
Lecca, of the Zouaves, who some time back killed M.
Seguin in a duel, has been placed on the retired list.—A
judicial inquiry has been commenced relative to the duel
which recently took place between M. Henri de Rochfort
and M. Paul de Cassagnac.
LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—...kBERDOVEY, NORTH WALES,
Monday.—During a heavy gale from the E.S.E. yesterday
(states Mr. David Williams, of the Customs) a schooner
was seen with a signal of distress flying. Sho had failed
to beat up the harbour against tho.gale, and was anchored
close to a bank on which a heavy sea was breaking, and
there was danger of her going on the bank, as her anchors

promptly put out to the assistance of the vessel. The
steamer, however, having to return for a towing hawser,
went on a shoal,
where she remained. The lifeboat was
heartily welcomed by the schooner's crow, who were
nearly exhausted with their labours. Some of the crew of
the lifeboat wont on board the vessel, sot one of her sails,
and took her under the lee of some sand hills which offered
shelter, and there she anchored. The master desired that
the lifeboat should stand by them in case their vessel should
again drive, and the boat accordingly remained alone•side
all night. This morning, the weather having slightly mo-
derated, the lifeboat assisted in bringing the schooner
safely into harbour. She is the Jane Ellen of Aber -st-
with, bound from Noath to this port a cargo of culm.3
The cost of this lifeboat was benevolently collected a
short time since in Berkshire by Captain Stephens of the
Reading Bank, and presented to the National Lifeboat In-
stitution, and this is the first service she Las had the oppor-
tunity of rendering since she has boen placed en her
station.

the instructions to insure a successful issue to the illness,
