VICTORIA.

Last night, after the historical drama of Marie Antoi-
nette, a novelty was brought out by the spirited manager
of this theatre, under the title of The Smuggler's Haunt :
or, A Fire-side Story. Giles Darrell, a smuggler and
poacher, landlord of the Owlet public-house, has a son
(Richard), who is in love with Miss Letitia Felton, the
daughter of a 'Squire. The lady is betrothed to her cou-
sin, young Rushton, a lawyer. In order to prevent the
match, and secure the lady for young Darrell, the old
smuggler murders the'Squire. The wadding of the musket
with which the old gentleman was shot, had been torn
from a book called " God's Revenge, against Murder."
After the deed the wadding is picked up, and it leads to
the detection of the murderer. The smuggler, Giles Dar-
rell, was well played by Gann ; the heroine was Mrs. Selby.
The piece, upon the whole, was well received, and given
out for repetition amidst applause.

Q UgEN' S.
The comedy of Simpson and Co. was revived at this
heuse last evening, with a strong and effective cast of cha-
racters—Mrs. Nesbitt as Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Honey as
• Mrs. Bromley, Miss Murray as Madame 7a Trappe, and
Mr. Williams (from the English Opera-house) as Mr.
Simpson. Mr. Wrench re-appeared here in his favourite
characters of Nat, in Family Peculiarities, and Valentine
Quill, in The Station-House, both of which are peculiarly
adapted to display his comic talent, and elicited the warm-
est plaudits from a crowded and fashionable audience,
amongst whom we noticed Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Ex-
mouth, Lord Anson, Lord Brudenell, Lady Paget, Hon.
L. Stanhope, Captain Gordon, Major Hall, Sir L.
Glynn, &c.

Co L OSSEum.—This most elegant of our metropolitan
entertainments re-opened for the winter season last night. The
whole of the fittings-up are of the most splendid and gor-
geous nature, and the place altogether presents the most
elegant. and attractive lounge in London. The principal
entertainment, " Raphael's Dream," is merely a medium
through which to present to the audience Ducrow's exqui-
site " Living Pictures." These are beautifully chaste and
classic, ,particularly the Hermes, Sampson, and the Dying
Gladiator. The " Courses," and the " Peacook Chariot,"
which, we understand, were a good deal calculated on .by the*
proprietors, are extremely dull and stupid, but where there
is so much else to admire we can overlook this. The stage
is exceedingly pretty, and the scenery and machinery equal
to those of any other theatre in London. Although a
" first night," the whole went off with great smoothness,
and, judging from the satisfaction which the entire per-
formance appeared to give to a pretty numerous audience,
we should think the proprietors will find it a profitable spe-
culation.

E. S. CAYLEY, Esq., M.P.—Last week, the Scar-
borough Reform Association presented an address to E. S.
Cayley, Esq., in acknowledgement of the very efficient ser-
vices rendered by him to the cause of Reform, and to the
Reformers of Scarborough in particulai, during the past
session of Parliament. The address was signed by all the
members of the Association, and was presented in the Old
Globe Lodge Room. Mr. Cayley made a long and eloquent
speech in reply, which elicited the warmest approbation of
his auditors.

THE MANDRILL.—When in 1831 death made
such an hiatus in the brute world by selecting the only
type of his race the ,well known " Happy Jerry" as a mem-
ber of his antic court, the writer of his reminiscences pro-
phecyed that we " ne'er should look upon his like again ;"
so thought not Mr. Cross, considering the revolutions that
take place in the affairs both of men and baboons. A pair
of these curious denizens of the Gold Coast, no doubt
driven from their native wilds for some political offence,
have been secured at Cape Lopez, in the Gulf of Guinea,
and transmitted by an agent, J. Polito, to the Surrey
Zoological Gardens, where they arrived on Tuesday last,
and will give the crowning charm to this collection, as two
such splendid animals have never been seen in this country.
They have arrived in the finest condition ; the bright scarlet
of the nose, and the furrowed mazarine blue of the cheek
bones, which are distended to an immense size, contrasting
strongly with the beautiful olive of the fur; and the orange
coloured, pointed beard. They stand five feet in height,
are of a most powerful and robust make, and exceedingly
malicious and mischievous. They have not yet been in-
dulged with spirituous liquors, but have their pot of porter
daily. They are called by the natives Choras, live in large
bands, and are more than a match for all the other inha-
bitants of the forest. This is the Pupio Mainion of
Geoffrey, and Cynocephalus Mainzon of Desmarest.
REGISTRATION.—The Cheltenham Free Press,
in calling attention to some proceedings connected with the
local registration, says further reform is necessary to give
the people a fair representation of their feelings and interests
in the House of Commons. The party who were a few
months ago so earnestly endeavouring to impress upon the
public mind their anxiety to carry out the Reform Bill " in
the spirit in which it was conceived," were then actually
purchasing votes in the most barefaced manner, in order to
create an undue influence in the representation. We need
only point to two cases of manufactured votes, by the deci-
sion of Messrs. Peake and Whitmore fifteen persons are
qualified to vote as freeholders of the county for a property
producing 401. a-year, and which was purchased in January
last from the Conservative fund, to whom the rent is paid
by the pretended owners as their subscriptions; the hum-
bug is too apparent to need comment. One of the first
duties of the people in the next Session will be to petition
for a Reform of the Reform Bill.
Mr. Francis William Grant, younger of Grant, hav-
ing attained his majority on Monday last, the tenantry and
friends of the noble family of Grant celebrated the event
in a manner worthy of the occasion. Numerous and re-
spectable parties of gentlemen dined at Elgin, Forres,
Keith, Portsoy, Grantown, Rothes, and other places. Bon-
fires blazed on all the hills over the wide domains of Sea-
field and Grant, the mountain dew flowed in copious streams,
and the ancient slogan-of the clan—" Stand fast, Craig-
, ellachie," was raised in a hundred straths.—Aberdeen

Government have at length finally determined to
garrison the Island of St. Helena with troops of the line.
The non-commissioned officers and privates of the St. He-
lena corps, which compose its present garrison, will be ab-
sorbed into the regiments of infantry, the officers of these
corps being placed on half-pay, from whence such indivi-
duals of them as may wish it will be brought on full pay
into the regiments of infantry. By this arrangement,
which does great credit to the Horse Guards, a great public
saving of expense will be made in the reduction of the St.
Helena corps. Captain Bridge, Royal Artillery, with the
officers and non-commissioned officers of his company, pro-
ceed forthwith to St. Helena, where Isis company will be
completed with gunners from the St. Helena corps of
artillery.

VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—The account of the elevation
of Prince Metternich and Count Kollourat to higher titles,
is not confirmed. I can, however, affirm that it came from
a creditable source, and was in general circulation here.
As it is also well known that the Emperor Francis had a
siinilar plan several years ago, I thought 1 might mention
it as a report without waiting for the official confirmation of
it. Lieutenants Field Marshal the Prince of Saxe Coburg,
and the Prince of Warsaw, set out a few days ago for
Toplitz. It is probable that the plan for a new loan will
not he carried into effect till the end of the year. Accounts
from Constantinople of tho 16th, state that Lord Durham
had sailed on the 14th for Odessa, on board the Pluto
steam boat.
M. de St. Cricq, the son of a Peer of France of the
same name, has for a long time become a constant disturber
of the frequenters of the Cafe Anglais, on the Italian Bou-
levard in Paris, by the violence of his conduct and the inde-
cency of his behaviour. He carried this obnoxious system
so far as not to permit the house to be closed during the
night, and on Thursday last, between three and four o'clock
in the morning, not finding the doors open, he caused them
to be forced, and imperiously ordered the waiters to
get him some dinner. The proprietor of the Cafe at length
lost his patience, and preferred a complaint to the Prefect
de Police, who accordingly, at half-past eleven on the fol-
lowing morning, sent a file of soldiers, with a Commissary
of Police, to apprehend this turbulent sprig of Nobility,
whom they found, according to custom, established in one
of the saloons on the ground floor of the Cafe. This French
disciple of the Tom and Jerry school has a fortune pf about
