ADELPIII THEATRE.

Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams continue to attract
crowded houses. The racy humour and natural acting
f these clever artistes must gratify even the most
fastidious of their audience, for while the exaggerated
developments of the low classes of American and Irish
character are fully and pointedly illustrated, those offen-
sive traces of coarse vulgarity which mark so many actors
of the same scheoi are entirely subdued. "The Fairy
Circle" it a telling" bit of Trish dramatic story, afford,
ing fair scope for the united abilities of Mr. and Mre.
Williams ; and " Yankee C,urtship" is richly comic
erough, to tune the veriest minor-chromatic temper into
the spontaneous burst of laughter or melodious chuckle

THE SIEGE OF LUCKNOW.—The first of the surviving
defenders of Lucknow who has reached England, is Mr.
L. E Rees. He was fortunately able to preserve his
journal cf the • events of which he was an actor, and
which passed before biro during the siege. This narra-
tv with a plan of T_Jucknow and a p ,rtr,it of Sir H.
Laew'renco from a plio;.egraph taken on the cp,t, is pre-
paring for immedate publication, in one volume, by
gessrs. Longman and Co,
TELE REV. ME. GENT.—Tho aff.eirs of the Rev. Mr.
Got are stilt in auto quo, no communic ition having
as yet been received fr ni the Bishop r,t Chester, so
that the rev. gentleman is still the legal curate of Dr.
:11.`Noi!e, though he has pronni.wd to resign on hearing
from his lordship. Mr.
Gent and his family are at '
present out of town for the benefi cf their health. The
subicription amounts to about 8201.
Ali EAGLE SHOT.—S tarot eagle, which has been
flying about in the vicinity ~f Arundel to the tenor of
many, was ilf,t on Friday la,t by
Mr. W. Ottl,,y, the
head gamekeeper of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk.
Since the sin:;ular visit n. has been in the neighbourhood
he has been aimed at by many
sportsmen who have been
unsuccessful in bringing him down. We believe hi. 7,
Grace has on more than one occasion had an unsuccess-
fel shot. Being a strong bird and usually flying very
higiv. it requred some c msid,rable force to kill him. On
Friday la t, however, Mr. Ot ley, who was in a
plantation in Arundel-park, between Bevis's Grave and
the walnut trees, had a good shot, and succeeded in
Noun ;tog him. The bird ,truggled c,insiderably, and
at length perched en a tree, from which he was
soon levellA, and taken to the C,i4le, where, by
direction of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, he was
laid out to be shown to any one who chose to go and see
him, Alter this tho eagle was sent to Mr. LidbE-ater,
the ornithologist, of London, to be stuffed. He turns
out to be a young nrde of the white-tailed sea eagle, and
not a golden eagle, as was supposed. Mr. Lidbeater is
also of opinion that it is a bird of the first yLar. Although
the bird is of such a large size, measuring with its wing
expanded 7ft. sin., it weighs barely 10tb. The length
from the beak to the tail is 31t., and the breadth across
the shoulders lft. Tho beak i 3 3in. long, and the centre
talon 2in. The quill feather from the pinion joint
measures 234 in. its principal haunt was near the South
`Wood and Elought.m chalk pit, and many mutilated
rabbits have been picked up which have been killed by
the distinguished vi.sitor:since he has been in the neigh-
bourhood,— Wca Snsso.; Ow.Vlc'..
