ADEGPIII THEATRE.

Another new farce was produced hero last night with
immense success. The title of the last production is
"In and Out of Place," and is calculated to show the
extraordinary versatility of Mrs. Barney Williams's
powers. Indeed it map be said to be wholly performed
by herself, for it is a series of personations connected by
a thread so flight as not to be worth mentioning, but
sufficient to serve the purpose of introducing Mrs. Wil-
liams in five different characters—an English servant
girl, an Irish rustic, a French opera dancer, a Dutch
officer, and a Yankee girl, in which character she sings
a new song entitled "Independence Day." The perso-
nations were capital, but the Yankee girl was inimitable
—so richly national, so quaint and racy, so full of exu-
berant spirits, and so mirth provoking that the audience
were quite carried away by its hilarious influence. Mrs.
Barney Williams is a woman of genius, and in her line
altogether unrivalled.

VISIT OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS ROYAL
TO THE ROYAL MINT —Yesterday (Monday) morning,
a few minutes after 10 o'clock, the Princess Royal, ac-
companied by Lady C. Barrington, Col. Wylde, and
Lieut.•Cul. Ponsonby, paid a visit of inspection to the
Royal Mint, Little Tower-hill. The distinguished party
were received by Messrs. Hill and Field in the front
office of the building. They then proceeded to view the
works, first visiting the press-room, where the Banc
medals were receiving the impress of the dies. They
then proceeded to the roping, cutting, and annealing-
rooms. The noble party then visited the room devoted
to the purpose of lettering the names of the respective
soldiers and sailors on the edges of their medals. The
weighing-room was then visited, where the machines for
testing the weight of each single coin were at work, with
which the Princess seemed particularly struck, as also
with the rapidity with which the boys ringing the coin,
for the purpose of detecting any flaw in it, pursued their
avocations- The Princess expressed herself gratified
with the result of her visit, and took her leave about
half-past eleven o'cl.,ck. The visit was a strictly private
one, and entirely unexpected.

The name of the Marquis of Westminster has been
brought prominently forward for the Order of the Garter
in the official world, now that it is known a second blue
riband is vacant. The insignia worn by his father, the
late marquis, was more splendid than that of any other
knight. The jewels were of enormous value, and two of
the diamonds were, by the will of the late marquis, made
heir-looms. Some idea of the value of the whole may
be formed from tho fact that one of these diamonds cost
the marquis 30,000/. ; it was worn on the pommel of
the sword.—Court Journal.
THE LATE EARL OF ELLESSIERE.—The mortal remains
of the Earl of Ellesmere were removed this morning from

late earl's family.
TUE LATE EARL OF HAREWOOD.—An inquest was
held upon the body at the Harewood Arms, Harewood,
yesterday (Monday), before Mr. Taylor, coroner, and a
respectable jury. From the evidence it appeared that
Lord Harewood, when the accident occurred, was rid-
ing a favourite old mare hunter, and not a young horse,
as has been reported, and was attempting to " brush"
through a young thorn hedge, when the animal stun*
bled over a sheep net at the other side, and threw the
noble lord over her head, and it is supposed that he was
struck by the mare with her fore feet while pawing to
relieve herself. The medical attendant stated that death
had resulted from erysipelas in the head. A verdict of
accidental death was returned. The remains of the
noble lord will be interred in the family vault at Hare-
woodhi eChahrugercsh, on Saturday morning next, at 11 o'clock.

acceded to General Beatson's demand for an inquiry
into the conduct of those who got up secretly against
which, if true, might have affected not

gation is to take place at the War Department in White-
hall-gardens. We append the names of the officers corn-
posing the court President—Sir Colin Campbell,
Members—Lord W. Paulet, General Lawrenson, Gene-
ral Cameron, General Montgomery, General Taylor,
Colonel Norcott.

ACCIDENT AT THE Bow ALUM WORKS.—Yesterday
morning an accident. occurred at the Bow Alum and
Tar Works, near the Globe-bridge, Mile-end-road,
Stepney, to a man named John Catey. It appears that
the unfortunate man was employed in the manufactory,
and while in the act of crossing a plank which had been
placed over a copper of boilmg tar, he by some means
slipped and fell into the scalding liquid. He was with
difficulty extricated, and conveyed to the London Hos-
pital, and last evening he was in a very precarious state,
