HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Monday, the 6th of
Jul'', will he one of the great nights of the season—the
benefit of Madlle. Piccolomini—when the performances
will comprise a selection from the various operas is
which trio versatile genius of this fascinating prima
donna has been most conspicuously displayed. An act
of "La Figlia del Regi'nento," with which the evening
is to commence, brings out both the gay and tender
elements in the character of the enthusiastic little
Vivandi6re. This will be followed by an act of the
"Trovatore," with Spezia as the heroine, Guilini as
Manrico—perhaps one of his best characters—and
Alboni, in her great part of Azucena. After this Pic-
colomini will again appear in the last act of the
" Traviata"—an opera which will always be remembered
as that which at once placed Madlle. Piccolomini in the
first rank of dramatic singers. To many the last selec-
tion which will be given will be chief attraction. The
concluding scene of I. Martini will add the interest of a
new part to the evening's entertainments. Those who
have heard Madlle. Piccolomini in her famous duo "II
soon del arpe angelicke" say that both as a vocal and
dramatic effort it at least equals the greatest of the
achievements with which her name is already familiarly
associated, The occasion will be honoured by an un-
usual concentration of strength upon the ballet,including,
among others, Rosati, just arrived from her Paris
triumphs, Boschetti, Katrine, and Per, a Nena.
ENGLISH GALLANTRY AT DELHI—LIEUT. J. J. ECR
F3RD.—The Times publishes a private letter, giving an
account of the gallant conduct of Lieut. J. J. Eckford,
of the 6th Native Infantry, and son of General Eckford.
Our contemporary's Indian Correspondent says :
" Lieut. J. J. Eckford, of the 6th Native Infantry,
holding an Engineer appointment at Meerut, defended
his treasury against the mob for a considerable time, his
wife and family hiding in the garden. The house at last
was set on fire, and Mr. Eckford severely wounded on
the left temple. He remained insensible for a consider•
able time (after destroying several of his assailants), while
the premises were in flames, but miraculously escaped,
at er some hours, with his wife, child, and sister•in•law.
He is now out of danger on account of his wound." We
are enabled, from a private source of information, to
state that this gallant young officer killed, with his own
band, four of the mutineers, as they, one after another,
sought to take his life. Such distinguished gallantry
ought not, and cannot, ao unrewarded by the Govern-
ment. —Morning A civertiaer.
