S7'. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Maclaine Ristori repeated her character of Adri-
enne Lecoarrear 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 he more equally displayed, as
Phedre and Lady Macbeth, but the exciting
passion and variety of dramatic positions afforded
in Adrienne yield startling and thrilling effects,
m Well create intense emotions in her audienc?.

Her powerful expression of tenderness and
feminine devotion is prominently evident in this
character, and in delictee womanly softness and
pathos she unquestionably exceeds her late
gifted sister in Art, Rachel. Her scenes of con-
flicting love, jealousy, and despair, were most
impresively 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 Ler lover and her old friend hanging
over her dying form, were acutely pointed in effect.
and a sensible relief was experienced when she sank
uead :La Rigtori was ably sup-
ported, especially by 'Ulu epru,ou.it bi
Michonnet, the Countess, and the Abbe. Her ap-
pearance in Medea, to-mor..ow evening, will afford
great gratification to her admirars, as it is one of
her most intense impersonations.

The newiy-born son of the Duke of Ostgotbland is to

of the Royal family bear the name of Swedish provinces
—the Priuoa Royal, Duke of Scania, Prince Oscar, Duke

The " Oaths Substitution Bill" and the " Jaws Bill"
stand for second reading in the House of Lords this
evening, and the Church Rates Abolition Bill to-morrcw
evening.
Seine 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 iuteiligence is considered a favourable feature, it being
argued that, had any mishap occurred, some of the ves-
sels engaged would have ere now returned. As the pay-
ing-out of the cable is to be commenced in mid-ocean, it
is ptobable that the first news received will communicate
either the gratifying success or complete failure of this
moat important and interesting undertaking.
The CAIIDEN-TOW' RAILWAY LIBRARY, &C,—The
directors of the London and North •Wm4ern and North
London Railways have, in the most liberal and praise-
worthy manner, placed at the disposal of the committee

and the Isle of Wight, on Tuesday next, July 6, in aid of
its fui:dis and objects. The train is to leave the Camden
station at Chalk-farm at 7 a.m., and will proceed direct
to Southampton, the directors of the South-Western
line having, with equal liberality, oiven permission for
the train to pas over their line. The excursion includes
a cruise round the Isle of Wight ; and the arrangements
are in the able hands of Mr. David Stephenson, the
goods manager, Mr. Bayley, and other gentlemen con-
nected with the Camden station.

CIVILIANS AND Hrao2e.—For the benefit of the hon.
proprietor who cautiously inquired at the meeting on
Wedneaday last if Sir James Oatrarn had a son, we Will
relate an anecdote highly creditable to all concerned in
it. It will be in the memory of our readers that shortly
after the outbreak at Delhi, and while the upper pi-e-
-vinces were in the first terrible throes of insurrection, a
small band of volunteers proceeded from Agra, and oc-
cupied the Allyghur distlict. For many days, and even
weeks, did this gallant
.little band assert the British su-
premacy in the lace of overwhelming numbers of armed
and infuriated rebel.. At length their position became
so imminently critical that Lady Oulrarn, naturally ap-
prehensive for the safety of her youthful son, a young
Bengal civilian "cut" with the volunteers, besought
the Lieutenant-Governor to recall them to Agra. Mr.
Coivin, with characteristic amiability, yielded to her re•
quest, and issued the necessary instiectione. On being
troscle acquainted with their tenor, Mr. Paterson Saun-
ders, an ',interloper," who presumed to render the Go-
vernment much good service throughout the ensuing
catopair.ut, sepaired to Mr. Watson, the magistrate of
the district, and asked wha; he proposed to do 1 " Re-
main at toy poet," v.-as the calm reply. '' Bet you w
he cut to pieces," rejiined Mr. S sunder:. I know it;
bat it is my duty te remain here." "Then I will remain
too," exclaimed the gallant planter, "and I shall be
much surprised ii some of our fellowe don't do the came.'
lie was not mistaken ; at leaot a Li. zha bravo gentle-
men volunteered to share the fate of their leader, and
nobly did they redeem their pledge. Nor was young
Oatrain• wanting on this occasion. He thanked the
Lieutenant-Governor for thinking of him at all at such
a ni0,„,,,,,(; but added that, if any favour was to be
shown to hint for his father's sake, he,begged it might
be the permission to be the last Eaglishman to leave
the post of danger, Is it necessary to add that this
handfed of pi au: cievaliers long held their ground
against :earful odds, and only retreated to Agra when
further resistance was as impossible as it would have
been useless. Sir James Ogram need not fear that his
honours will be tarniehed in being transmitted to hie
gumisor,—Altea's
