PBMBEOKE HOUSE ASYLUM', HACKNEY.—Dr.
Christie, who is ever anxious to afford amusement
te the inmates of his establishment, gave an entertainment
on Thursday evening, the 4th inst., in the Grand Hall,
and having sent out many invitations a large and
fashionable audience assembled. A new and interesting
series of dissolving views were exhibited by Mr. Willem
Vandervell and Mr. Haggard, whilst Mr. Harold Power
(son of the late comedian) gave a description of each view,
and by his quaint delivery managed to keep the audience
in a " merrie mood." Mr. Toole sang a comic song, which
was highly appreciated. During the evening there was a
selection of music, under the direction of Mr. Vandervell
which included his last composition, entitled "Fair Ger-
trude." A very plea. ant evening was passed, and the visi-
tors departed highly amused. We understand it is the
intention of Dr. Christie to give a theatrical performance
by amateurs towards the end of the month.

CONVICTION OF A WORKHOUSE MASTER.—At the
Essex quarter sessions, on Thursday, Thomas T wose, late
master of the Halstead Union Workhouse, was convicted.
of stealing a considerable quantity of wheat, barley, beans,
peas, &c., the property of the guardians, and also a number
of glass and china articles. The entire value of the articles
stolen was about £3OO. The prisoner was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment with hard labour.

ST. PAUL'S CATIIEDRAL.—The special Sunday
evening services for the winter of 1866 commence to-mor-
row beneath the dome of St. Paul's. The Bishop of Lon-
don will preach the sermon. The full choral service will
commence at 7 p.m. The dome area is said to hold from
4,500 to 5,000 persons.
