FURIOUS DRIVING.—THE MARINER SHIPWRECKED ON
SHORE. - Capt. Angus M'Kennon, the master of a ship, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and
furiously driving a horse and chaise.
Nicholas, a police constable, No. 36 11, stated that last
night he saw the prisoner driving a horse and chaise at a
most furious and reckless pace along the High-street,
Whitechapel, and he drove against the posts of the re-
tiring place in the middle of the road. The shafts of the
chaise were broken to pieces, and the prisoner and his lady
were both thrown into the road, and were much hurt. He
raised them from the ground and took the prisoner into cus-
tody. The prisoner was very drunk and quite incapable
of taking care of himself or driving a horse and chaise
properly.
Mr. Paget—At what pace was he driving ?
Witness—About 10 miles an hour and very wildly.
Mr. Paget—Were there any horses and vehicles about
the street ?

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL

The supplies of meat on sale hero to-day were mode-
rately extensive. Prime qualities were in fair request, at
full prices. Otherwise, the trade was heavy, at barely late
rates. The imports of meat from the Continent have been
very large, nearly 10,000 carcases of mutton having arrived
here since Thursday last.

Picking having been brought to a close tho great de-
ficiency in the crop has become apparent. On the whole
the yield is not above half that of last year. For all kinds
the trade has been very firm, at enhanced rates, and the
tendency of prices is still in an improved direction. Last
week's imports were 187 bales from Antwerp, 92 Boulogne,
4 Bremen, 2 Dunkirk, 48 Hamburg, and 264 bales from
Rotterdam. .

ADELPHI.

The Christmas piece at this house is a burlesque
by the surviving author of " Kenilworth," founded
upon the familiar theme of " The Lady of the Lake,"
and entitled "Mountain Dhu ; or, the Knight, the
Lady, and the Lake." The principalincidents in Sir
'Walter Scott's poem are, to use a theatrical expres-
sion, " utilised" in the construction of this piece ;
but in the arrangeMent of incidents and the delinea-
tion of character the author has abundantly availed
himself of the freedom which burlesque claims as its
own. With it Rob Roy's name is not M'Gregor,
even when his foot was on his " native heath," un-
less that appellation falls naturally into rhyme; and
it is therefore not surprising that James Fitz James,
Douglas, and Roderick Dhu should have undergone
moral transformations almost equal to those physi-
cal ones which are to be found in pantomimes in
order to adapt them to the Adelphi stage. The
Knight of Snowdon, as represented by Mrs. Mellon,
is entirely innocent of Lincoln green, and exhibits
the manners rather of a Cockney excursionist than
of a sporting sovereign. The Douglas, in the hands
of Mr. Paul Bedford, has lost all his fury, and "im-
proved" into a heavy father ; while the Roderick
Dhu of Mr. Toole has so far submitted to the influ-
ence of civilisation as to take snuff out of a silver
box, and carry his whisky in such a flask as is to be
met with any day in a first-class carriage between
London and Brighton. Mr. Toole made his first ap-
pearance last night after his return from a somewhat
prolonged provincial tour. He was warmly greeted
upon his entry, and a few lines " appropriate to the
occasion," in which, among other things, he an-
nounced that he had left the dews of Ben Nevis, and
meant in future to take his due of Ben Webster,
were heartily applauded.
The burlesque was preceded by " a Sister's Pen-
ance." Miss Kate Terry, who plays the heroine, wag
warmly applauded in all the principal scenes, and
was, with Mr. H. Vezin, called before the curtain
at the end of the play.

CITY OF LONDON.

The pantomime here is by Nelson Lee, and is
called " Ding Dong Bell, Pussy's in the Well."
The popular vocalists, Miss Constance and Madame
Losebini, are expressly engaged. The pantomi-
rnists are Harlequin, Mr. Carera ; Columbine, Miss
Wieland ; Clowns, Messrs. Delevanti and Almonte ;
Sprite, H. Wardini ; Pantaloon, Mr. Simmons.
The scenery is by Mr. Richard Douglass and Mr.
John Neville.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—Mr. TOM Taylor's
capital little piece, " The Family Legend;" one of
Alr. and Mrs. Reed and John Parry's greatest suc-
cesses, has been revived to serve as Christmas fare
at this favourite and elegant hall of entertainment.
That charming little cantatrice, Miss Susan Galton,
has also been engaged to sing " The Legend of Sir
Gryffyd." Mr. John Parry's " Wedding Break-
fast" concludes the performances.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—An annual concourse of
People visited the Baker-street museum yesterday,
and all appeared to find something to amuse their
various tastes and attract their attention. There
are many novelties both in the great gallery and in
the smaller rooms, from the Court Circle to the
Chamber of Physiognomy, and besides the portrait
models a large collection of various curiosities is
exhibited.

PRINCESS'S,

The management at this house, relying upon the
Qtlic attractions of " Burnaby Budge," have pro-
vided no pantomime proper this year, but have, to
Messrs. Watts Phillips and Vining':, adaptation of
Dickens's powerful and touching story, merely added
a revival of Planch6's " Lirisible Prince." The
Boxing-night audience followed the fortunes of poor
Burnaby and Maypole Hugh with unabated interest,
bailed the beautiful sunset scene in the second act,
got excited at the way in which the Warren was
fired,:watched with eagerness the sword combat un-
der the moonlit ruins ; and at the close called be-
forethe curtain Miss K. Rodgers, Mr. C. Horsman,
Mr. S. Calhaem, and Mr. G. Honey. The latter
actor for the first time appeared as Miss Miggs, in
the place of Mrs. John Wood, and his acting was
the most popular thing in the play. The afterpiece,
"The Invisible Prince ; or the Island of Tran-

quil Delights," introduced Mrs. John Wood iu
burlesque, and an additional attraction was the
entirely new scenery of Mr. Lloyds and his
assistants. The scenes were gorgeous and
full of fine natural touches " that brought down
the house" repeatedly, and about half-way through
the piece caused the artist to be called to the front
to receive the rapturous cheering of all sections of
the audience. Miss Wood's representation of Don
Leander was a marked success throughout ; and
sharing the honours bestowed upon her were Mr. G.
Honey and Miss Fanny Heywood, who made a very
Promising and successful debut in the part of
Princess Xquisit's little pet. Of the dresses, the
Music, and the general conduct of the entertain-
Merits, nothing but praise can be recorded.

FRANCE.

A most terrible railway accident has taken place
near the Franois station, on the line from Dijon to
Besancon. A goods train came into collision with
the passenger train No. 212, on Sunday evening,
and twelve persons were killed. Twenty persons
received injuries, many of them very serious. This
line is worked by the Paris-LyonalediterrandeCom-
pany. No accurate particulars respecting this acci-
dent have yet been received in Paris.
BOURSE, Dec. 26, Two o'clock.—The market is
much more buoyant, and all Stocks and Shares have
advanced, some of them considerably. French
Threes have improved 20c., at 60f. 67f c. A similar
rise is quoted on Italian Fives, at 56f. 50c. Credit

gain 2f. 50c., at 1,392 f. 50c., and Comptoir d'Es-
compte are in much better demand at 857 f. 50c., an
improvement of 10f. Less is doing in Railway
shares, but they nevertheless are quoted in advance.
Lyons have again reached 900 f. The second half-

CHRISTMAS AMUSEMENTS.

An elaborate preface to the preparations and
performances with which theatrical managers and
the caterers for public amusements have welcomed
the recurrence of Christmas-tide is worse than a
thrice-told tale. We shall therefore leave the gen-
tlemen who have attended these entertainments to
speak for themselves of what they saw and heard,
premising merely that pantomime last evening formed
the staple at no less than seventeen theatres. The
immense amount of time, talent, money, and labour
expended on these productions would furnill ma-
terial for calculation for a member of the Statistical
Society ; but, fortunately for the reader, even these
men of figures are just at this juncture making holi-
day. Suffice it to say, that no denizen of London
possessing a " splendid shilling," nor of the country
who has the wherewithal for a railway ticket and
the requisite leisure, need deprive him or herself of
a first-class evening's entertainment, dramatic,
musical, scenic, comic, combining all these qualities.

THAMES.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.—This was a quiet morning in
the court after Boxing-day, there being only 21 charges of
every description. Among them were 11 charges of being
drunk, with the addition of incapable being attached to
one, assault to four, disorderly to one, and wilful damage
to two. Three were charged simply with being drunk.
Considering that the population of the district is 300,000,
this is not an alarming amount of crime, and Mr. Partridge,
on taking his seat upon the bench, said that the paucity of
crime in the district was truly wonderful. There were
only 40 charges yesterday, and these embraced a period
in all of 48 hours. The first "drunken charge" waa
that of a boy aged 14. He was quite incapable when dis-
covered by the police.
Mr. Partridge—You are very young to be getting drunk.
It is quite shocking. I shall fine you ls. to make you re-
member being intoxicated on Boxing-day, 1866.
William Dacey, an Irish labourer, was charged with
assaulting Catherine Dacey, his wife.
The complainint, a young woman, was bleeding from
the ear, and her face and head were bandaged. She had
been married to her husband a short time, and he had
turned out a savage one. He beat her, turned her out of
doors frequently, and made her very uncomfortable. She
once charged him before his Worship with beating her
and begged him off. Last night she went after him to the
Seven Stars public house, in Rosemary-lane, to ask him to
come home, and ho struck her on the oar, and threw her
down. Her ear had been bleeding ever since. Her
husband got drunk with the money which ho ought to
have expended on his home.
The prisoner, in defence, said ho gave his wife 4s. on
Monday last.
Mr. Partridge- And went to a public-house yesterday.
You had better have spent the day with your wife.
The prisoner—lt was Boxing-day.
Mr. Partridge—That is no reason whatever you should
become intoxicated and beat your wife. There is no doubt
you struck her very brutally ; her ear is bleeding now
I shall remand you for a week. Next Thursday I will
decide what is to be done with you.

ASTLEY'S.

Very prudently the manager of this theatre, in
snaking out his Christmas bill of fare, has had re-
gard to the natural impatience of his holiday pa-
trons by placing before them as the prelude to the
tune-honoured pantomime the very short but clever
drama " Delicate Ground." But brief as it is, the
good-humouredly, boisterous, and crowded audience
of Boxing-night found it quite long enough to ex-
haust the stock of self-denying tolerance which they
had laid in for the occasion, and the anxiously
looked-for pantomime came not one moment too
soon, although it commenced as nearly as possible
Punctually at the hour announced, viz., a quarter
to eight. " Hush-a-by Baby on the Tree Top; or,
harlequin Fortunio, Prince Heydiddle, Princess
Olivebranch, King Frog of Frog Island, and the
Magic Toys of Lowther Arcadia," is the elaborate
title of the novelty, which has been written by Mr.
Chas. Millward and another gentleman, who wishes
to remain as one of the illustrious unknown. The
Pantomime is a decided success.

MARKETS.—This day.

METROPOLITAN. CATTLE.
There was about an average supply of 'beasts on sale
hero to-day for the time of year. Prime breeds moved off
steadily at full prices ; but inferior stock was a slow in-
quiry, on former terms. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81b.
We were fairly supplied with sheep, which met a fair de-
mand, at Monday's decline in value. The best Downs and
half breds realised Gs 2d per 81bs. The few calves on offer
met a dull inquiry at barely late rates. The sale for pigs
was heavy, and the highest price did not exceed 4s Gd per
81bs.

PRINCE OF WALES'S.

Miss Marie Wilton has again secured for her at-
tractive little theatre a graceful extravaganza from
the pen of Mr. Henry J. Byron, entitled " Pandora's
Box ; or, the Young Spark and the Old Flame."
The piece was extremelyarwell received, and there
lvas a loud call for the author at the fall of the
curtain.
London, England, 1866-12-27

LYCEUM.

The new drama " Rouge et Noir," produced hero
last night and received with every sign of approval
by a crammed house, is a five-act adaptation by:gr.
Leslie, author of the " Orange Girl," and other
pieces. The original French play " Trente Ans de
la Vie d'uu Joueur," was produced 40 years ago at
the Porte Saint Martin, and the Great Frederic Le-
maitre created an enormous sensation in the leading
character. The plot extends in the present version
over a period of only 20 years ; and the principal
figure in it is that of Maurice d'Arbel, a young man
of high family but an inveterate gambler. He is
haunted by an evil genius in the shape of one Gas-
pard de Layrac, and watched over by one Eric
Gautier, who supplies the counteracting good agency
all through the piece. Iu the first act Maurice is
found at a gaming-house in the Palais Royal
the fourth and fifth he is reduced to the utmost
pitch of destitution, and barely manages to avoid
starvation by cutting wood in the Black Forest. 11
son, lost sight of 20 years previously, comes to light
at last, and the original French catastrophe is
changed into a happy ending, to suit our more
dainty English susceptibilities. Maurice was inl"
pressively played by Mr. Fechter, and it offers hint
abundant opportunity for the startling contrasts of
character he loves to display. Parts of the impel.-
sonation were splendid. The scene in which he
appears old, haggard, travel-stained, and well nigh
despairing, to accept alms he has almost stooped ]OW
enough to solicit, created a pro found impression. \Ter):
excellent, too, was the struggle in his breast witnessed
iu the last act. His hatred for his enemy waned fast
before the thirst of gold the adroit Gasper knew
how to awake. His hand grew tremulous With
excitement, his dull eye brightened with a fierce;
unnatural brightness, his weak frame was inFrirT"
;bid' a strength not his own. Many other points
of equal merit might alsobo singled out for mention.

S ADLER'S WELLS.

The pantomime at this theatre is founded on one
of the countless D'Aubray's fairy tales, and its title
" The Golden Cask, the Princess, the Page, and
the Pageant ; or, Harlequin and Queen Grumble."
The opening ivas a series of extremely brilliant
Scenes, and the barlequinade was crammed full of
bustle and fun, which caused the pantomime .to
pass off to the entire satisfaction of a crowded
audience, and Miss Marriott, under whose super-
intendence the pantomime was got up, and Mr.
- Arthur the author, both appeared before
the curtain to receive the ovations of the audience.

OLYMPIC.

This house re-opened last night under the lessee-
ship of Mr. Benjamin Webster and the management
of Mr. Horace Wigan, with a revival of Mr. Bouci-
cault's early comedy of " London Assurance," a plaY
that has been a stock piece for actors of comedy for
more than twenty years. Mr. Charles Mathews has
returned to the scene of his early and most success-
ful labours, accompanied by Mrs. Charles Mathews,
and, looking younger than ever, performed his old
part of Dazzle with wonderful spirit and finish. Lady
Gay Spanker, a character associated in the minds of
playgoers with Mrs. Nisbett, found a charming re-
presentative in Mrs. Charles Mathews. Sir Har-
court Courtly was given to Mr. Horace IVigan,
Charles Courtly to Mr. H. Neville, Mark Meddle to
Mr. G. Vincent, Max Harkaway to Mr. Addison,
Dolly Spanker to Mr. Dominick Murray, Grace
Harkaway to Miss M. Palmer, and Pert to Miss E.
Farren—a strong and efficient cast. The afterpiec°
is the burlesque of " Faust and Marguerite."

trayed. Miss Carlotta Leclercq, as Pauline, acted
very charmingly and well. Mr. J. C. Cowper
Played the part of Eric Gautier very cleverly, and
Mr. S. Emery, as Gaspar, was excellent. Smaller
parts were well supported by Miss lienrade and
Alessrs. Evans and Price. The chief objection
to " Rouge et Noir" is its length ; it commenced at
8 o'clock, and was not over until past Midnight.
The mounting of the piece is quite worthy of the
reputation enjoyed by the Lyceum management for
this speciality. The last tableau, representing the
destruction of a hut -by fire, was perfectly contrived.
Tile piece was preced,..i by the " Two Polts," which
enabled Mr. IViddicomb to keep the early comers
in a roar until the f:►shionables arrived.

FRANCE.

A most terrible railway accident has taken place
near the Franois station, on the line from Dijon to
lksancon. A goods train came into collision with
the passenger train No. 212, on Sunday evening,
and twelve persons were killed. Twenty persons
received injuries, many of them very serious. This
line is worked by the Paris-LyonsMediterrandeCom-
pany. No accurate particulars respecting this acci-
dent have yet been received in Paris.

MARKETS.—This day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was about an average supply of beasts on sale
hero to-day for the time of year. Prime breeds moved off
steadily at full prices ; but inferior stock was a slow in-
quiry, on former terms. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81b.
We were fairly supplied with sheep, which met a fair de-
mand, at Monday's decline in value. The best Downs and
half breds realised 6s 2d per 81bs. The few calves on offer
met a dull inquiry at barely late rates. The sale for pigs
was heavy, and the highest price did not exceed 4s 6d per
81bs.

mas holidays, have secured the large St. James's-
hall for their performances. An entirely new pro-
gramme has been prepared, in which all the old

the special features of the entertainment is a new
comic shadow pantomime by the Messrs. Nelson

performances.

NEW AMERICAN MINSTRELS.—The new troupe of
" niggers" who have established themselves at the

the large room of the Egyptian-hall.

ALHAMBRA PALACE.—The theatrical, musical,
and miscellaneous performances at this theatre of
varieties have been entirely changed for Christmas.
A new grand spectacular and allegorical ballet,
representing the wonders of industry, and employ-
ing the services of one hundred coryphe'es and fifty
juvenile figurantes, has been placed upon the stage,
backed by one of those marvellously constructed and
brilliantly painted scenes, with novel changes, that
have won for their painter, Mr. William Callcott, a
European reputation.
The Oxford and Canterbury, Weston's, Phil-
harmonic, Islington, London Pavilion, Regent,
Westminster, Metropolitan, Cambridge, Maryle-
bone, the South London, Deacon's, and the smaller
outlying halls have all special attractions suitable

THAMES.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.—ThiS was a quiet morning is
the court after Boxing-day, there being only 21 charges of
every description. Among them were 11 charges of being
drunk, with the addition of incapable being attached to
oue, assault to four, disorderly to one, and wilful damage
to two. Three were charged simply with being drunk.
Considering that the population of the district is 300,000,
this is not an alarming amount of crime, and Mr. Partridge,
on taking his seat upon the bench, said that the paucity of
crime in the district was truly wonderful. There wore
only 40 charges yesterday, and these embraced a period
in all of 48 hours. The first "drunken charge" was
that of a boy aged 14. He was quite incapable when dis-
covered by the police.
Mr. Partridge—You are very young to be getting drunk.
It is quite shocking. I shall fine you ls. to make you re-
member being intoxicated on Boxing-day, 1866.
William Dacey, an Irish labourer, was charged with
assaulting Catherine Dacey, his wife.
The complainant, a young woman, was bleeding from
the ear, and her face and head were bandaged. She had
been married to her husband a short time, and he had
turned out a savage one. He beat her, turned her out of
doors frequently, and made her very uncomfortable. She
once charged him before his Worship with boating her
and begged him off. Last night she wont after him to the
Seven Stars public house, in Rosemary-lane, to ask him to
come home, and he struck her on the ear, and throw her
down. Her ear had been bleeding ever since. Her
husband got drunk with the money which ho ought to
have expended on his home.
The prisoner, in defence, said he gave his wife 4s. on
Monday last.
Mr. Partridge•- And went to a public-house yesterday.
You had better have spent the day with your wife.
The prisoner—lt was Boxing-day.
Mr. Partridge—That is no reason whatever you should
become intoxicated and beat your wife. There is no doubt
you struck her very brutally ; her ear is bleeding now
I shall remand you for a week. Next Thursday I will
decide what is to be done with you.

The pantomime at this theatre is founded on one
of the countless D'Aubray's fairy tales, and its title
is " The Golden Cask, the Princess, the Page, and
the Pageant ; or, Harlequin and Queen Grumble."
-rhe opening was a series of extremely brilliant
scenes, and the harlequinade was crammed full of
bustle and fun, which caused the pantomime to

audience, and Miss Marriott, under whose snper-
intendence the pantomime was got up, and Mr.
Arthur O'Neil, the author, both appeared before
the curtain to receive the ovations of the audience.
