MR. SOTHERN AS CLAUDE MELNOTTE.—Mr.
Sothern's brief but highly successful engagement at the
Theatre Royal, Glasgow, closed on Saturday night. On
Friday evening he took his benefit, performing for the
first time in this country, and to one of the most crowded
and fashionable audiences that have ever occupied the
theatre, the part of Claude Melnotte in " The Lady of
Lyons." From the inanities of Lord Dundreary to the high-
soulod devotion of the hero of Lord Lytton's brilliant
play the stride is so great that even a universal genius
might be pardoned for not attempting it ; and Mr. Sothern
has become so thoroughly identified with parts so pecu-
liarly his own that his entry into an already well-occupied
field might well cause uneasiness for the safety of a de-
served fame. We run no chance of contradiction, how-
ever, when we unhesitatingly pronounce his performance
to be such as will raise him even higher in the public
favour, and secure for him a more ephemeral reputation.
It had all the quietness and grace, the naturalness and the
power, that the most fastidious critic could desire. The
declamation was perfect, the action appropriate, and the
whole bearing that of truth. The conception was indeed
faultless, and it was bodied forth to a degree almost with-
out a fault.— Glavou, Daily Herald.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON IN BANKRUPTCY. On
Monday, at the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court, before
Mr. Commissioner Saunders, J. H. Anderson, "The Wizard
of the North," better known as " Professor Anderson,"
came up for his final examination and order of discharge.
Mr. Griffin, instructed by the trade assignee, Mr. Hogan,
of Wolverhampton—where the professor's good luck de-
serted him—and Mr. John Smith, who appeared for the
bankrupt, examined the professor at great length as to the
several entries in the balance-sheet, which were of a rather
extraordinary and amusing character. He was also exa-
mined as to the tricks which "took" best, but on this point
the professor was extremely reticent. In regard to an item
of £75, for which Mr. Wright, a solicitor, was set down as
creditor, the professor explained that in the lawsuit in re-
gard to St. James's Hall, Mr. Pike, his then solicitor, had
£l2O. Shortly after Mr. Wright became his solicitor, and
Mr. Pike kept £5O for law expenses, and handed the re-
mainder over to Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright, who was pre-
sent in court, said there was as much as £75 due to him for
law expenses, and he would soud in his bill. The com
missioner said there did not seem to be any objection to
the bankrupt passing, therefore he could take his dis-
charge.

filE LATE FLOOD.—In some parts of Yorkshire
the flood has caused the destruction of hundreds, if not
thousands, of hares, rabbits, and partridges, and even of
some pheasants. The floods rendered some cf these ani-
mals very tame, and they wore easily captured. The Mid-
land Railway are making great exertions to restore their
route to Bradford, Skipton, Colne, Lancaster, Morecambe,
and Scotland, by means of a temporary bridge to supply for
foot passengers the Appleby viaduct, which fell on Friday
as has been recorded in The Sun. It is expected that the
arrangements will be completed to-day or to-morrow.
Trains will be brought up on each side of the valley which
the viaduct spanned, and passengers and luggage will be
transferred across the temporarY bridge from one train to
wg other.
