THEAT.RB ROYAL, LYCEUM.

The great success of Edward Lytton Bulwer's play of
" Richlieu," rendert 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 surpass 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 we 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 " Latta -Rookie' ponrtrays '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 Woolgar) as the Prince Feramorz,
Mrs. Charles Dillon as Lana Rookb, Mrs. Buckingham
White as the Captain of the Fire Worshippers, Miss
Eliza Webb as the Banished Peri.Natnoune (whose
singing of the popular air " Ever of Thee," deserves
especial mention)—with the ?lever and facetious J. L.
Toole as Khorsabad (of villains the most facetious and
villanous) must fill this popular and elegant theatre with
crowded audiences for many—many evenings to come.

LAND.—It is intended to erect a monument to the memory
of General Havelock in Sunderland, bis native town.
E
Vane has suggested to those who have interested
themselves in the matter that the monument be erected in
the new gardens in the vicinity of Bishopewearmouth ;
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, ao that all classes may contri-
bute. 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-
polls, and the Tees Bay, Already a number of gentle-
men have offered to subscribe the sumof 501. each.
MAJOR AND CArrAIN ALISON.—We are happy to be
able to announce that from letters received in town yes-
terday from Caw spore, it appears that both Major Alison
and Lie 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 assaulted the Secendabagh
in the early part of the day, bet 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 Sub an Musniff's mosque, one of the most despe-
rate fights ever witnessed, la the afterpart of the same
day, they were both wounded—the Major severely, by
a shot through the elbow, 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 on the 93d, which headed the assault, when he was
s ounded ; bat the Highlanders broke in when the wall
was breached, the band playing as they
rushed in " The
Capbelle are coming,' amidst enthusiastic cheers.—
