mas holidays, have secured the large St. James's-
hall for their performances. An entirely new pro-

comic shadow pantomime by the Messrs. Nelson
Lee, sen. and jun. There will be day and evening
performances.
NEW AMERICAN MINSTRELS.—The new troupe of

mirable conjuring entertainment is still given in
the large room of the Egyptian-hall.

ALHAMBRA PALACE.—The theatrical, musical,
and miscellaneous performances at this theatre of
varii:ties have ben entirely changed for Christmas.
A new grand spectacular and allegorical ballet,_
representing the wonders of industry, and employ-
ing the services of one hundred coryphees and fifty
juvenile figuraides, 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,
European reputation.
The Oxford and Canterbury, Weston's, Phil-
harmonic, Islington, London Pavilion, ilegent,
Westminster, Metropolitan, Cambridge, Maryle-
bone, the South London, Deacon's, and the smaller
outlying halls have all special attractions suitable

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT
EXHIBITIONS of 1851 and 1862), is allowed by upwards of
Iwo Hundred Me Beal Gentlemen to be the most effective

of a steel spring., so otten hurtful in its effects, is here
avoided—a soft b indage beim? worn round the body, while
the requisite resisting power 14 supplied by the Moo-Main
Pad and Patent Levu*, fitting with so much ease and close-

PRINCESS'S.

The management at this house, relying upon the
scenic attractions of " Barnaby Budge," have pro-
vided no pantomime proper this year, but have, to
Aressrs. Watts Phillips and Vining's adaptation of
Dickens's powerful and touching story, merely added
a revival of Planclili's " Invisible Prince." The
Boxing-night audience followed the fortunes of poor
Barnaby and Maypole Hugh with unabated interest,
hailed 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-
fore the curtain Miss K. Rodgers, Mr. C. Horsman,
IVIr. 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 in
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.
Roney and Miss Fanny Heywood, who made a very
Promising and successful debut in the -tart of
Princess Xquisit's little pet. Of the dresses, the
Music, and the general conduct of the entertain-
Inents, nothing but praise can be recorded.

NEW SURREY.

The New Surrey Theatre celebrated its first anni-
versary last night, and the friends of. Messrs. Shep-
herd and Creswick, who assembled to bid them and
their Christmas pantomime welcome,were so nume-
rous that there was scarcely standing room in boxes,
pit, or gallery. At length, after a good deal of
Patience had been manifested, the curtain drew up
for the performance of "A, Apple Pie, and Harle-
quin Jack in the Box and the Little Boy Blue,"
which for splendour surpasses all Mr. Shepherd's
former great successes in the old theatre. The
audience were in raptures, and when the business of
the harlequinade was about to commence, Mr. Shep-
herd was called to the front, and loudly cheered
by his friends and patrons.

ASTLEY'S.

Very prudently the manager of this theatre, in
making 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
time-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
Won, 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
Olivebrancb, 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.

MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND.

The fund now being raised in the City of London
by the Lord Mayor and a committee of gentlemen
continues materially to increase from day to day.
Last evening it amounted to about £lO,BOO, of
which £756 was received in the course of the day.
In eight churches and chapels £l2B odd was col-
lected on Sunday and Christmas-day, and subscrip-
tions came in from clerks in places of business, and
from private families, not great in amount in any
case, but still not the less welcome on that account,
and all going to swell the fund for the humane ob-
ject in view. Poor widows send their mites, and
working men small sums, spared in not a few cases
by cheerfully foregoing some accustomed treat or
little luxury at this festive season. Noblemen,
bankers, merchants, and others, at the same time
contribute sums proportionate to their moans from
day to day, and by the constant accretions from
these various sources the committee hope in the end
to raise an amount sufficient with the local subscrip-
tions, and those collected by some of the large pro-
vincial towns, for a substantial provision for the
widows and orphans, such as was made in the case
of the Hartley calamity.
Among the principal subscribers yesterday and on
Christmas-day were Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
£lOO ; Lord Dynevor, through Messrs. Hoare and
C 0.,, £5O ; Capt. John Gordon of Clunie, £5O ; Mr.
M. P. W. Boulton, £5O; Messrs. Jacomb, Son, and
Co., £3O ; Mr. Thomas Bridges, £25 ; the clerks

ness for the flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry
Koppel, K.C.8., Cummander-in-Chief of the China
squadron, is comple[e in her rigging, but there is a
considerable amount of work still remaining to be
finished on board before she is ready fur the penr.ant.

LYCEUM.

The new drama " Rouge et Noir," produced bore
last night and received with every sign of appro.-6i'
by a crammed house, is a five-act adaptation by2dr•
Leslie, author of the t, Orange Girl," and other
pieces. The original French play " Trente Ans de
la Vie d'uu Joueur," was produced 40 years ago 3t
the Porte Saint Marriu, 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 mail
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 Erie
Gautier, who supplies the counteracting good agency
all through the piece. In the first act Maurice is
found at a gaining-house in the Palais Royal ; iu
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. A
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 im-
pressively played by Mr. Fechter, and it offers hial
abundant opportunity for the startling contrasts of
character he loves to display. Parts of the imper-
sonation were splendid. The scene in which be
appears old, haggard, travel-stained, and well nigh
despairing, to accept alms he has almost stooped lose
enough to solicit, created a profound impression. Very
excellent., too, was the struggle in his breast witnessed
in 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 inspired
with a strength not his own. Many other points
of equal merit might alsob,: singled out for mention.
Mrs. Leigh Murray, as the gambler's mother, who
dies of the shock her system receives on learning the
perfidy and baseness el lter son, was admirably per-

Atrocious Murder in Cheshire•

The rural and picturesque district of Dunhanif
near Tarvin, no great distance from the Boyal
Forest of Delamere, has been the scene of a 0
atrocious murder, accompanied by robbery.
Sunday evening Isaac Newport, a working men,
aged 74 years, living at a place called Long-
about five miles from Chester, met a friend of WS
named Lightfoot, who lives at Overton, near Frods-
ham, at a small public-house close to the Dunbell,l,
station on the line of railway between Chester an
u
Manchester. They had some business transactions,
in the course of which Lightfoot paid Newport a
sum of money in sovereigns, amounting to £l6, for
pigs which the latter had sold to the former. During
the time Newport and Lightfoot were engaged 111
their business, and when the money was Paid' a
man who is said to be a worthless character,
After
named Samuel Griffiths, was present.
partaking of some refreshment, Newport and b.
friend parted, each going towards his respective
home. Nothing, however, was heard of the foriner
until some time next day (Monday), when the poor
fellow was found on the way to his own house, b.'s
feet in a pit, and his head and face so shockingli
battered that it was impossible to recognise bira bt9
his features. His pockets were turned inside on.t,
and of course he had been dead some time.. As 1_
was the day upon which the usual petty sessions for
the district of Eddisbury were held at the Abbey
Arms, Delamere Forest, the police were abseot;
However, in the evening the officer of the district
found Griffiths lying drunk on the side of a road in
the same neighbourhood. On being charged with
the murder and robbery he denied all knowledge e..!
it. On searching his person the constable found
sovereigns in his pockets, and being asked how be
accounted for the possession of so much 'none!,
Griffiths said a person named Barton paid it to Wel
on the Saturday previous. Barton, however, being
communicated with, has denied altogether the state-
ment made by Griffiths.--.Manchester Courier.

SURREY.

During the last few days the sheep breeders and
flockmasters in Surrey and adjoining counties have
been alarmed at the outbreak of a disease among
store and stock sheep, and which, from its fatal
effects, was at first supposed to be a new type of
disease, but it is now definitely ascertained to be
variola ovine, or sheep pox, and better known among
sheep farmers as " the scab ;" and, although of a
contagious character, it may be eradicated from the
flock without any serious losses. This disease is
not uncommon among sheep, but rarely manifests
itself so early in the spring of the year, or in so
virulent a form; but the grave fears at first enter-
tained that the disease was a species of the cattle
plague are now dispelled.

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly general meeting was held yester-
day at the Victoria Station ; Sir C. Roney in the
chair.

The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
and, in reply to a question, stated that three of the
directors were also directors of the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Company.
The report was adopted ; dividends at the rate
of 6 per cent. per annum on the B stock and on the
ordinary stock of the company were declared for
the past half-year ; the retiring directors, Mr.
Tootal and Mr. G. F. llolroyd, were re-elected, and
also Mr. Coulter, the retiring auditor.

TEIGN VALLEY.
The half-yearly meeting was held at Chudleigh,
on Saturday—Sir R. Palk in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, referred to negotiations which had been
entered into with the South Devon directors, and
regretted that no satisfactory conclusion had been
arrived at. A strong feeling having been expressed
that the line should be extended to Exeter, the
necessary steps had been taken to obtain the sanc-
tion of Parliament to such extension. Lord Clif-
ford, Lord Exmouth, and, in fact, every landowner
except one, Earl Devon, had promised every pos-
sible assistance to carry out the proposed scheme.
It was to the South Devon line that they must look
for opposition. With reference to the position of
the 'feign Valley Railway only two miles remained
to be proceeded with, and the negotiationsfor nearly
the whole of the land had been concluded ; 873
shares had been taken up, and £11,037 had been
paid on them.

The report was unanimously adopted, as were re-
solutions for creating £30,000 preferential capital,
to bear in perpetuity interest at 5 per cent.

BUCKFASTLEIGII, TOTNES, & SOUTH DEVON.
The half-yearly meeting was held at Totnes on
Saturday. Mr. Bowden presided.
The report, which was adopted, stated that the
works were in a forward state from Totnes to Sta-
verton parish. Unfavourable weather and difficulty
in obtaining land had greatly interfered with the
progress of the line, but there was now a fair pros-
pect that the undertaking would be carried out.

PEMBROKE AND TENBY.

The half-yearly meeting was held -at Pembroke
Dock ; Mr. W. Owen in the chair.

The report, of which an abstract has appeared in
The Sun, was read by Mr. Stokes.
The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to announce that
the line was paying 5 per cent. out of revenue, leav-
ing a balance. The extension of the line to Whit-
land was progressing rapidly, notwithstanding the
opposition of the landowners, and it would be opened
in the beginning of July. The directors contem-
plated the extension of the line from Whitland to
Carmarthen.

The report was adopted, and a dividend at th:: rate
of 5 per cent. per annum on ordinary and preference
shares was declared, and the proceedings terminated.

NORTHAMPTON AND BANBURY.
