THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.

MEETING OF THE THEATRICAL PROFESSION

AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

This afternoon a meeting of the dramatic profession was
held in the saloon at the Theatre-Royal Drury-lane, for
the purpose of agreeing to an address of condolence to her
➢Zajesty on the death of his late Royal Highness the Prince
Consort. _

There were present most of the managers of the metro- I
politan theatres, amongst whom we observed Mr. E. T.
mith, of Drury-lane; Mr. Batty, of Astley's ; Mr. Swan-
borough, of the Strand ; Nelson Lee, of the City of Lon-
don ; Mr. Cave, of the Marylebone, and a number of the
leading members of the profession.
It was suggested as Mr. Batty was the oldest member of
the profession present, he having been engaged in it for the
last 50 years, that he should occupy the chair, and that
gentleman having consented under these circumstances, the
proceedings were opened by
Mr. SMITH, who said he had taken the liberty of calling
the present meeting in order that they might express their
feeling on the domestic calamity that had befallen her
most gracious Majesty. The Queen, by the loss of the
Prince Consort, had lost that which it was impossible to
overestimate ; she had lost a wise counsellor and a devoted
husband, and the Royal family a fond father. While the
Royal family had been so bereft, literature and science had
also lost a firm supporter, for everything that was good and
estimable ever found a fostering protector in the Royal
Prince whose loss they were at that moment deploring.
He had thought, under the circumstances, it would
but be proper that the dramatic profession should
have an opportunity of expressing their regret at the
death of the Prince Consort, and therefore the present
meeting was held to show her Majesty that while they had
the power of pleasing by their talent, they had also the
hearts of true Englishmen, and could sympathise with those
who mourned the irreparable loss she had sustained.
(Hear, hear.) He had drawn up some resolutions for the
approval of the meeting, but if the terms were capable of
improvement or alteration, he hoped that if any gentleman
present could suggest anything more appropriate they
would not hesitate to do so, because he knew they were all
animated with the same desire, and that was to testify to
her Majesty that they rightly estimated the loss she had
sustained, both as a Queen, a wife, and a mother. (Hear,
hear.) He begged to move the following resolution :
" That this meeting sympathise deeply and respectfully
at the solemn and affecting visitation of Divine Providence,
and therefore humbly venture to join in the universal prayer
of the nation that her Majesty may receive condolence and
support under this overwhelming calamity and bereavement.
That an address of condolence expressive of the deep sorrow
and heartfelt regret which words can scarcely convey, be
presented to her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, of the
death of his Royal Highness Francis Albert Augustus
Emmanuel, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe Coburg and
G otha, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, a
prince whose inestimable virtues and qualities through life
was the universal admiration and love of her Majesty's
subjects."
Mr. NELSON LEE said he begged to second the adoption
of the resolution. He could only reiterate the sentiments
of Mr. Smith, and say how deeply and sincerely her Ma-
jesty's loss was deplored by the whole dramatic profession.
Mr. STEPHENS, as the representative of the Australian
stage, supported the resolution, and observed that though
that country was far from England, there would not be a
single individual in that distant part of the globe who
would not be ready to add his sympathy to that of England.

The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. E. T. SMITH said the resolution would be sent in
due form to Colonel Phipps.
A vote of thanks
.was awarded to the chairman and to
Mr. Smith.

In acknowledging the compliment, Mr. SMITH said he
begged to thank them very sincerely for their kindness in
acknowledging the part he had taken on the present occa-
sion, and Mr. Batty also returned his thanks for the pleas-
ing manner in which the compliment had been awarded
him.
Tho proceedings then terminated.

ROBBERY ♦ND ASSAULT.—John Neal, a low-looking
fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing
some rum and also with assaulting Mr. Henry Ellis, of the
King's Head, Crown-street, Soho.
The prisoner went into the house of the prosecutor and
called for a quarters of rum, with which he was served.
He drank some of the rum, and while the barmaid was
engaged serving a customer the prisoner went over the
counter and helped himself to some more rum. Prosecutor
saw this, and en coming out of his parlour to turn out a
disorderly character the prisoner struck him two or three
times.

lines from Boston on the 11th will convey the file
of the American journals, and all their lueubrations
on Mr. Chase's Report and on the financial pros-
pects of the United States, which will doubtless be
duly appreciated at the other side of the Atlantic.
In your hands I leave them. Meantime there is
little probability of anything occurring to disturb
the march of events, which are the only things that
march at Washington, and which have got into a
humdrum sort of parade-and-review order, making
one day as like the other as can be. There is, to be
sure, always the confidential assurance that "there
will be a move soon," and perhaps there may ; but
hitherto General M`Clellan has succeeded in avert-
ing the danger which is presented to him cf making
an attack on a desperate and brave enemy with an
ill disciplined army. He may, however, at any
moment be led to order an advance, and his army is
certainly better prepared to make it now than it
was at any previous time. It would be amusing to
look back to the Northern journals and see how much
of the pompous programmes of" our Fall Campaign"
has been fulfilled. New Orleans was to have been
seized, Charleston laid Waste, Memphis, Savannah,
Richmond, and Nashville occupied, and the seceding
States held in subjection till the loyal men could be
induced to come out and vote themselves back into
the Union. The good public is presented with a
strip of sand at Hatteras and an inlet at Port Royal,
and so far it is thankful for the results of these con-
quests. The " Rat-hole squadrons" are at their work,
and the task of the blockading vessels will soon be
light enough. In fact, the weather is such on the
Southern coast during January, February, and
March that it would not be possible to maintain a
force of observation off the harbours ; hence most
of them will be blocked up, and the others can be
watched from time to time by vessels running out
of Port Royal. Another great expedition, the
naval part to be commanded by a very dashing
officer, Captain David Porter, is to be prepared im-
mediately, and General Burnside's corps is now
ready to start from Annapolis. The utmost exer-
tions are made by Government to procure mortars
of the largest size, but these are not to be made in
a day. Nothing indicates any expedition of the
first class—one intended to operate against Charles-
ton or New Orleans, which are the favourite objects
of the Northerners. The former is, indeed, menaced
from the flanks, and the Federal gunboats have
reconnoitered the country by the Ashepoo river up
to the distance of 32 miles from the city. The
white populations have fled. The negroes remain
on the plantations, and no efforts have been made
by the Federals to induce them to embrace freedom
and work on the fortifications. From the entrance
of the Savannah river in the South up to Otter
Point, at the north of St. Helena Sound, the Fede-
ralists have bitten into the coast line of South Ca-
rolina; but the effect of their conquest has not been
encouraging in the interests of the Union, of com-
merce, of cotton, of abolition, or of humanity. The
planters have fled and abandoned all sooner than
come to terms with the detested " Yankees." They
have bn:nt their cotton ; the negroes at times plun-
der the property left to their care, but more fre-
quentiy they protect it ; and all accounts agree in
the fact that the slaves evince no ill-feeling towards
their masters. They do not dread the Northerners,
but they show no appreciation of the boon which
the latter are supposed to offer them. Now, as the
planters have fled, and as their property is confis-
cated, it would be well for the Government to de-
cide what they are to do with this new description
of chattel which has come into their hands in con-
sequence of the acts of their masters and of Congress.
The slaves will not leave the land. They refused to
do it for their proprietors ; it is not likely the new
owners will be more successful unlesF they employ
force, and the use of force would render them de-
tested throughout the South by the black popula-
tion. It is asserted positively that the negroes will
not work—that they only do it under close watch
and the influence of strong inducements. The
greatest activity they have shown is'ein the plunder-
ing which has taken place among the planters'
houses ; and, the bump of destructiveness once fairly
working, it is impossible to say how far it may lead
a race who see their masters engaged in destroying
their King Cotton, and wrapping their temples and
ginning-houses in flame. The "eternal negro" ap-
pears to be quite apathetic in the contest, and to
watch the combatants very much as a beef and-
mead-fed " layde fair" might have regarded the
attempts of two unknown gentlemen in steel to run
each other through the body in her honour. Gen.
Sherman is believed to be rather too much of a
Southerner in his views, and he is attacked because
he will not permit the cotton to be taken and sent to
New York—so it is said, but I doubt the fact very
much. A little underhand trading is said to be
going on in the article about Port Royal, but the
burning movement progresses, and the sky is black-
ened by dense clouds of smoke all along the sea-
board from the fields and ginning-houses. Cotton is
exceedingly inflammable, aid burns almost explo-
sively. A couple of schooners are taking in cotton
at Hilton Head, and the blacks are ginning it for
five cents a pound. The troops there may be re-
garded as in solid occupation, covered by the fleet
and by the gunboats, the latter of which have been,
as I already stated, making reconnaissances up the
river, and finding the country deserted as they
approached. The whites have given up all attempts
to defend the rivers and smaller headlands. No less
than three fieldworks, on the Ashepoo, Coosaw, and
Otter Point, had been abandoned. It is more than
singular, therefore, that no demonstration has been
made against the Charleston and Savannah
Railway, which must be of inestimable value to
the Confederates. The thing is inexplicable. Gene-
ral Sherman must almost hear the railway whistle
at Pocataligo. Her Majesty's ship Immortalite
was lying at Port Royal by last accounts ; and
as the entrance has been buoyed and there is no
less than 25 feet of water on the bar, it will no
doubt become a resort for the vessels of the squadron
engaged in watching the blockade when it comes
on to blow. It is reported that the Federalists
were engaged in throwing up iutrenchments
on Tybee Island under cover of their shipping,
and we may be gratified by the sight of a regular
engineering approach to Fort Pulaski. It is more
likely, however, that it will be attacked by vertical
fire when the mortars are ready. When Captain
Porter's expedition is ready, depend upon it that
there will be more sharp work and energy displayed
than has yet been heard of from either side. If
there is one thing in this war which astounds one
more than another, it is the utter want of " dash
which has characterized both Confederate and
Federalist alike. There was no dash at Sumter,
certainly. It would have effectually prevented the
erection of the sand batteries—it would have taken
Sumter by storm when once the fire was reduced,
and the little garrison paralyzed by the flames
and want of proper ammunition. In the West,
where partisan leaders and wild bushwhackers, jay-
hawkers, and melodramatic rascality abound, there
has been some hard fighting, but there has been no
dash. Dash—an ounce of it—could have secured
the Federal capital in April or May—could have
made certain of it, Baltimore, Maryland—and who
can say what more ?—in the last week of July. The
smallest particle of dash could have secured Fort
Pickens for secession before it was reinforced, nor
would Fortress Alonroe have been very safe in the
face of the same quality in the enemy. With plenty
of individual courage there has been as yet no ex-
hibition of this valuable military adjunct—most I
valuable in an army of this kind and in irregular
warfare. General Price, in Missouri, indeed, exhi-
bits great celerity in advance and retreat, and is
always almost to be, but never is, attacking or at-
tacked, save and except at the Lexington affair.
General Rosecrans—why will he not accommodate
Shaksperians by a little alteration of his name?—
has gone comfortably into winter quarters in Wes-
tern Virginia, or the 6r State of Kanawha" at Wheel-
ing, after an obscure and inglorious campaign—in
which, however, he has shown himself an active
and capable commander, and has completely foiled
his opponents Floyd and Wise—against whom it
was impossible to win either reputation or glory.
The ex-Secretary, who is generally politely desig-
nated as " the rebel thief Floyd," is still marching

Mr, Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the prisoner was one
of those fellows who went about annoying respectable
tavern keepers, and he should commit him fur a month.

THAMES.
PLUNDERING A SAILOR.—Two women of unfortunate
character, named Bridget Richenberg and Isabel Ashford,
were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with robbing
a sailor; named Thomas Wales.-ore 7.
The prosecutor is staying at that excellent institution,
the Sailors' Home, in Well-street, where he could have
banked his money and received interest for it while in port,
but instead of doing so he displayed it to the prisoners, and
in the course of three or four days lost every farthing of his
hard earnings. On Friday morning last, between the hours
of two and three o'clock, he met with the prisoners, and
was taken by them to an infamous den kept by the woman
Richenberg, in Everard-street, part of " Tiger-bay," St.
George-in-the-East. He then had a £lO note, 1 Is, in silver,
and some foreign coins in his possession. He remained in the
house with Ashford until Saturday night, and gave her
Ils. He gave the tall woman (Richenberg) the £lO-note
to change, and told her to get some drink, which came to
13s. 9d. She returned him £8 9s. 4d., after deducting
13s. 9d. (A laugh.) He put the change in his purse. They
all remained in a public-house drinking, and he gave his
purse and money to Richenberg to pay for the drink, and the
short one (Ashford) snatched the purse from her, and put it
31 her bosom. He demanded the money of her, and she said,
" Don't be in a hurry," He bought two bottles of rum and
two bottles of gin for the women to take home, and, after a
good deal of bother, Ashford gave him back two sovereigns
only of his money, and he could never get the remainder
of her.
Mr. Woolrych—Have you any of your wages left ?
The Sailor—Not a farthing. I was paid off last Thurs-
day, settled my outfitter's bill for a new rig, and I have
been robbed of all my wages I had left.
Mr. Woolrych—When you come on shore again alter a
long voyage, leave your money with the people at the
Sailors' Home in Well-street, where it will be taken care of.
Samuel Talvy, a police-constable, No. 211 H, said that
Wales came to him on Saturday night. and wanted to give
into custody a girl named Yankee Moll, who had robbed
him of 18s. He gave her a sovereign and told her to get
2s. worth of drink, She obtained the liquor, but never
gave him the change.
Mr. Woolrych—That was a distinct affair from this.
Witness—Yes, Sir; there were not sufficient grounds for
taking the girl into custody, and I refused to interfere. This
morning I found the sailor and the two women in Everard-
street, and he said to Ashford, that if she would give him
£3 he would say no more about his money. She refused,
and he gave both into custody. He found upon the prisoner
Ashford two Belgian coins.
The Sailor—They are mine, and were in my purse when
the short woman took it from the long one.
Mr. Woolrych—When do you expect to go to sea again ?
The Sailor—Next week, Sir.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who appeared for Richen-
berg, contended that there was no case at all against her.
Mr. Woolrych agreed with the solicitor, and ordered her
to be discharged, at the same time observing that he had no
doubt of the infamous business she carried on. There would
be a partial failure of j astice in this case, as in many others
of a like nature, because the sailor was going to sea. He
had no doubt that Ashford was what she was stated to be—
a regular thief, who waylaid sailors and robbed them. He
sentenced Ashford to two months' imprisonment and hard
labour for the unlawful possession of the two Belgian coins
found upon her.

THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF CAMBRIDGE.--An
opinion prevails very generally among the members of the
Senate that the Duke of Devonshire, from his distinguished
career as a student, is the fittest person to fill the office of
Chancellorship of the University, now vacant. A meeting
will take place in the Combination-room of Trinity College
this day, at which the Master of Trinity has consented to
preside, for the purpose of promoting the election of the
Duke, The Cuke of Buccleuch has the interest and sup-
port of St. John's College, but it is understood that the
Duke of Devonshire is put forward purely upon academic
grounds. If the University failed to call him forth on this
occasion it would ignore its academic honours, and these in
the person of one who is distinguished for his private vir-
tues ought to command success.
On Saturday night, after the exhibition had
closed, a Bengal tiger in Edmond's menagerie, which is at
present at Newcastle, broke through a wooden partition
into an adjoining cage containing a panther, with which it
engaged in a terrible combat. The tiger was strongly be-
laboured with a view to driving him back into his compart-
ment and rescuing the panther from his clutches. These
means, however, only exasperated the beast still further,
and after a fearful fight of ten minutes' duration, he suc•
ceeded in seizing the exhausted panther by the throat, and
held him with bull-dog tenacity until he was dead. The
tiger then, as if satisfied that his werk was completed,
walked quietly into his own compartment, and allowed a
new partition board to be thrust between himself and the
body of his vanquished antagonist.—Newcastle Chronicle.
The following is the text of a letter addressed by
Garibaldi to the provincial Council of Calabria Ulterior, in
answer to an Address from that body :—" Caprera, Nov.
12.—Your blood has not deviated frem the path traced by
your ancestors I When the destined hour shall strike, I
shall again see you in arms, to the terror of the enemies of
Italy. The time is not far distant. Be all prepared for
that last trial, and we *tall conquer S—Yours, Citatißiuxi."
