DRURY LANE.

The eighth week of the Pyne and Harrison company at
the above theatre was commenced yesterday evening with
Wallace's celebrated opera of " Maritana." Mr Harrison,
of course, fulfilled his original part of that most " deboshed
Cavaliero " Don Caesar. Miss Louisa Pyne was gipsy
"prima ; " and Miss Susan Pyne made a charming Laza-
rillo. We cannot pay a higher compliment to the long-
established reputation of this opera, the music of which
will ever be fresh and welcome to an English public, than
to say that it requires no comment. The old favourite
morceaux with which we are all so familiar were rap-
turously applauded, and generally encored. Miss Pyne's
scena in the first act with the harp accessories, and Mr.
Harrison's memorable " Let me like a soldier fall," met
with an especially enthusiastic reception. There is, per-
haps, no song sung by Mr Harrison that evokes his falsetto
capabilities of voice to such an extent as the above-men-
tioned melody. He also rendered that most charming of
ballads, " There is flower that bloomeat," with extraordi-
nary sweetness and delicacy. Mr Ferdinand Glover, who
played the very onerous and responsible role of Don Jose
de Santarem sang conscientiously and with considerable
tact; his romance of In happier days" was fully appre-
ciat .

The principal personages in the opera were called for at
the conclusion of each act, and of course at the final fall of
the curtain, and altogether the revival of " Maritana " at
Drury Lane may be pronounced a success. This opera
will alternate throughout the week with " Martha " and
the " Rose of Castilla."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—About a yemr and a half ago the little
village of Chiselhurst,. in Kent, had the misfortune
of having their peal oi! bells destroyed by fire, and
such quantity of the olld metal as could be gathered
together was sent to Messrs. Warner and Sons, bell-
founders, who purchase.a the same, and the casting
of the new peal was entrusted to them as well.
On Saturday last eight members of the St. James's
Society, of London, pai d a visit to Chiselhurst, and
rang upon the bells of the parish church, Mr.
John Holes original 'one-course peal of Grandsire
triples, having the doubles in the last four leaves,
containing 5,040 cha-nges in two hours fifty-three
minutes. Performe rs--Mr. Henry Haley, treble ;
William Bannister, Did ; John Bradley, 3d ; Henry
Booth, 4th ; Robert J.:ameson, sth ; Charles Wilson,
6th ; John Rogers, 7t,:h ; Jesse Hortin, tenor. Con-
ducted by Mr. Henry Haley. The above was a
masterpiece of change-ringing, and was worthy of
the bells, which are a noble peal in the key of F,
from the above fou-adry, and which cannot be sur-
passed by any peal of their weight (tenor, 17 cwt.)
in the country. A space in your valuable paper
will much oblige your obedient servant,

STRAND.

A capital petite comedy, from the pen of Mr. Troughton,
entitled " Wooing in Jest and Loving in Earnest," was
produced here with pre-eminent success. The plot, which
is simple, consists of the stratagems of a bluff old bachelor,
Mr. Machiavel (Mr. Selby), who is momentarily expecting
to receive the intelligence of the death of an old friend, and
consequently an addition to his fortune, to rid himself of
the presence of a volatile nephew, Captain Quick (Mr.
Parselle), and a young widow (Mrs. Witchington), whose
guardian he has been appointed. At first he proposes to
marry the widow himself ; but to pursue that course liberty
would have to be resigned. Eventually he decides en mak-
ing a marriage between his nephew and the widow, and the
difficulty and fun consists in the schemes the old gentleman
has recourse to, to bring about the command of " kind
attentions." The Captain is a rattle-brained fellow,
who plumes himself upon being a lady-killer, and
replies to his uncle's entreaty by telling. him he has
only to ask the widow to be accepted. This the uncle dis-
putes, and promises to purchase the captain his majority if
he succeeds in making the sprightly widow fall in love with
him. The captain then commences the siege to the lady's
heart by wooing in jest, but as his game proceeds he finds he
loves in earnest, and a marriage, of course, concludes the
piece.. Miss Swanborough, the fair manageress, supported
the part of Mrs. Witchington with an archness that was
quite refreshing. Parsielle made a capital Captain Quick--
a modern sort of Charles Surface—and Selby's " Machiavel"
was one of those finely...conceived and admirably-acted cha-
racters, for the creation of which this talented actor has
acquired so much fame. The :min en scene was splendid,
and we may safely predict a long and successful run for
"Wooing in Jest and Loving in Earnest."

Jullien's Concerts d' adieu commenced here last evening
with every prospect of immense success. The house has
been tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and the band, as
usual, is composed of sixty first-rate artistes. On the
entry of the maestro he was very cordially received.
The house was full, and the programme consisted
of selections from the best and greatest masters. A
very important feature in the entertainment was the
first appearance in England of M. Wieniawski, a
violinist of extraordinary ability, who, it appears, enjoys
already, though still apparently . very young, a great
reputation on the Continent. M. Wieniawski played
Mendelssohn's concerto and Paganini's variations on
the "Carnival of Venice," and in both pieces
displayed such a command over the resources of his instru-
ment and so much musical sentiment as to justify us in
placing him in the first rank of living violinists. Miss L.
Vinning gave Verdi's " Tacea la [notte " so charmingly
as to gain an encore. She responded by singing " Where
the Bee Sucks," with equal grace; it was quite refreshing
to hear that lovely air after the paltry composition which
preceded it. The scenes of senseless uproar which have
unhappily disgraced M. Jullien's " first night" for some
years past, were not wanting on the present occasion. M.
Jullien made several long speeches to no purpose. A strong
body of determined policemen would have been the shortest
and most expeditious way to restore order.

THE NEW LORD MAYOR.

This morning the ceremony of presenting the new Lord
Mayor, Alderman D. W. Wire, to the Lord Chancellor,
for the purpose of receiving her Majesty's approval, took
place at his lordship's private residence in Eaton-square.

W. S. Hale, Sheriff Conder, the Recorder, the Common
Sergeant, the Remembrancer, and the aldermen of the
whole of the wards in the City, and a great many members
of the Common Council.

The RECORDER, in presenting the Lord Mayor elect, Mr.
Alderman Wire, gave a brief account of his career

paratively humble station in society to the honourable and
distinguished post of chief magistrate of the greatest com-
mercial city of the world.

The LORD CHANCELLOR congratulated Alderman Wire,
and complimented the citizens on the choice they had made.
His lordship said it gave him great pleasure to inform them

Despatches of which the following are copies or extracts,
have been received by the Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour :
CAPTURE OF PIRATE VESSELS BY STAUNCH GUNBOAT.
Calcutta, at Hong Kong, Aug. 24.
Sir,—l have the honour to transmit, to be laid before the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a copy of a letter
dated the 4th August, with its inclosures, from Lieutenant
L. Wildman, commanding her Majesty's steam gunboat
Staunch, reporting an attack on three pirate vessels, on his
passage from Shanghae to Hong Kong, and the destruction
of two of them with most of their crews.
2. Taking into consideration the great disparity of force
opposed to the Staunch, and that the latter had only her two
24-pounder howitzers on board, I consider this gallant ac-
tion reflects great credit on Lieut. Wildman, bis officers,
and limited complement--I have, &c.,
M. SEYMOUR,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain bow this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some
of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, 47,e., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

POISONING _AT BRADFORD

On Saturday night a person named William
Hardaker retailed a large quantity of peppermint
lozenges in the Bradford market-place. On Sunday
morning it was reported that two boys had died
suddenly in the town. Little was thought of the
incident at the time, but as during the day several
other persons were 'reported to be ill, and others
dead, an inquiry was instituted, which led to the
discovery of the fact that these persons had died
ftom the effects of taking arsenic, which was mixed
in the peppermint ,lozenges. These lozenges had
been made by Mr. Joseph Neil, wholesale confec-
tioner, of Stone•street, Bradford, and sold by him
to Hardaker to retail. About a fortnight ago Mr.
Neil purchased 121bs. of plaster of Paris, called by
the trade " daft" or," allibi" of Mr. Hodgson, drug-
gist, of Shipley, near Bradford. A young man
named George ,Goddard was in the shop at the
time, his master being ill in bed. He asked his
master whether he had.got any of the ingredient
called by the person " daft," and was told by his
master that it was in a'cask in one corner of the
cellar. Goddard went there, and, it appears, in mis-
take served the customer, Neil, with arsenic instead
of plaster of Paris, the casks containing both
ingredients being in the same corner, and neither
of them being labelled. The mistake was not dis-
, covered till several persons had died on Sunday
from taking the peppermint lozenges made by
Neil, and sold in the market by Hardaker. 121bs.
of arsenic were mixed in 401bs. of sugar, which
would give eight or ten grains to each lozenge, as
much as would poison two persons. Many persons
have died from each taking one lozenge ; and yes-
terday afternoon no fewer than thirteen adults and
children were reported to be dead at the police
office. Thirty or forty others were very, ill. Neil,
the maker of the lozenges, remarked, in making
them, that they were unusually long in drying, and
bore a darker colour than usual, but he never sus-
pected they contained poison. _lmmediately the
fact was discovered, Mr. Leveratt, the chief con-
stable, took steps to put the public on their guard
against eating lozenges purchased in the market-
place, by sending out bellmen and policemen to
make it known in various localities, and placards
were thickly posted upon the walls. The fatal
effects, however, will be seen far and wide, as vast
numbers of persons came long distances on Satur-
day night to attend the Bradford market. Besides
the thirteen persons known to be dead, there are
eight or ten other deaths reported in the district.
Goddard was yesterday brought up before the
Bradford magistrates, and remanded till the' coro-
ner's inquest.

A corps of volunteer Engineers, under the com-
mand of Capt. Parson, arrived at Panama on the 25th of
September, from England, by the Royal West India mail
steamer. They consisted of 20 men, sent out by the British
Government to Vancouver's Island, for the purpose of
making surveys in the Hudson's Bay territory.
