Proprietor --C. MoRTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAT AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock &m. until 12
o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
. ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAINLI4.:T
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
perform every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 5, 1859.

After a long interval we again hear of the arch-
miscreant NANA SAIIIB, who disappeared from the
scene of action just at the time when TANTIA
TOPEE appeared thereon. Indeed, the circumstance
led to the supposition that the parties were iden-
tical, and that TAN TIA TOPEE was really NANA
SAIIIB in disguise, who, knowing that the horrible
and cold-blooded atrocities of which he had
been guilty had totally excluded him from
any hope of mercy, vainly hoped that he
might obtain a promise that his life would
be spared under a fictitious name. A pro-
mise obtained under such false pretences would
have no validity, but a cunning Oriental, well
knowing the high character for veracity and hon-
our so long held by Englishmen, might fancy that
any pledge would be faithfully observed, no mat-
ter on what terms it had been conceded—a suppo-
sition Which the treatment of the hoary-headed
miscreant, the ex-King of DELHI, might partially
justify.

It, however, appears that the pretended
Peishwa has at last appeared in propria per-
sona—that is to say, if there should not be another
deception, and sundry "RICIIMONDS in the field."
It is announced by a telegram from Agra, of the
6th December, that on the preceding day, NANA
SAHIB, with a considerable force, had crossed the
Ganges, between Futtehghnr and Cawnpore, hav-
ing contrived to elude the forces under BARKER
and TROUP, posted on the Goomtee, at Beni-
gunge, and Aligunge. Brigadier SHOWERS
shortly after started from Agra in pursuit; and
if he can contrive to overtake the flying
column, we have no doubt that another victory
will be obtained ; but the chief men generally con-
trive to secure their own escape, whatever may be
the fate of their followers. It is supposed that he
intends to cross the Doab and the Jumna, and to
penetrate into Central India ; possibly he may hope
to join his lieutenant, and add to the terror already
excited in that district.

TANTIA TOPEE himself is still exciting
terror in every quarter where he presents
himself. He is exhibiting the activity for
which he has already become so celebrated.
He was pursued by BARRAS'S Camel Corps, carry-
ing a detachment of the 71st and 92d Highlanders.
There was also 100 of the Bombay Rifles on foot.
The rear-guard was overtaken ; it at once took to
flight, and was severely cut up. The rebel chief-
tain, however, made a show of resistance with the
main body of his followers. Ile assumed a strong
position, surrounded by the neighbouring hills.
The hardy Highlanders speedily dismounted,
and formed a column for the attack. The
enemy, however, would not await the onslaught,
but effected a rapid retreat just at the moment
when matters were proceeding to extremeties. The
camels were again mounted, and a contest rendered
inevitable. On this occasion the few guns which
remained at the disposal of the rebels were speedily
captured. There was a brief personal encounter,
