AIR. AND AIITITLARENcir.,_These talented
artistes, so favourably known in the Australian colonies
and New Zealand, have been fulfilling several highly suc-
cessful engagements in the provinces; where their friends
and admirers have given them a most hearty and flattering
welcome. On the occasion of their first appearance at
Birmingham last week m " Belphogor" they received at
the hands of the crowded audience quite an ovation, being
called out at the and of each act to bow their acknowledg-
ments. Mr. Clarence Holt is an actor of great merit, and
we trust the time is not far distant when we may give him
a welcome at one of our legitimate theatres, when, we
doubt not, he will shine a particular and brilliant star.

mittee appointed at a general meeting held towards
the close of last month, consisting of Viscount Eversley,

statue of tho deceased nobleman shall be erected in the
open air, in some public place ; and that the memorial in
the Abbey Church of Romsey shall consist of a mortuary
chapel, made by the reproduction of the eastern apse, with
a recumbent or sitting statue, within it.
