NE W STRAND) THEATRE.

---
A little comedy, called A Woman's Revenge, pro-
duced at the Olympic Theatre during the manage-
ment of Madame Vestris, is now being played at
this theatre, with a view to bring out Mrs. Glover in
a character in which she formerly made a sensation:
The talent which she displayed in the times to which
we refer is as vigorous now as ever, and the revival,
therefore, possesses all the interest that originally at-
tached to it. This Well-conducted little house is
thriving, we have reason to believe, under the present
governance of Mr. Farren ; and the perpetual recur-
rence of novelty, combined with an excellent working
company, is more than sufficient to account for this
unusual state of prosperity.

STORE-STREET ROOMS.
Mr. Love, the polyphonist, gave one of his amusing
entertainments, at the Store-street Rooms, on
Monday evening, and had what he always well de-
serves, a large attendance of visitors. As a ventrilo-
quist this gentleman has never bad a superior ; and
few can rival his zoological imitations. His dramatic
sketch, entitled Love's Labour Lost, is a remarkable
instance of rapidity in changing,
not only the charac-
teristics of speech, but of person, and as a piece of
polyphonic ability is literally perfect. The "por-
traits;' which form the subjects of the first part, de-
velop a similar amount of quickness and ingenuity in
the arts of bodily and vocal illusion.

HUTCHINSON v. TEYCHITNE.—IIi the report of the
Lord Chancellor's judgment dismissing the appeal in this
Fate, with costs, which appeared in The Sun of Monday,
it should have been stated that the defeudant was the
appellant.
SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT. BERWICK,
MONDAY.—A very deplorable accident happened yes-
terday afternoor, rear Belfont station, on the Newcastle
and Berwick Railway, by which a gentleman named
Robson (formerly in the service of the late Duke of
Northumterland and Earl Grey) met with his death.
Mr. Robson had, it appeared, arrived at the station in
his gig, and was attempting to cross the metals, when
the down mail-train from London came up, and although
the engine-driver used every effort to prevent a catas-
trophe, he was unable to check the train, and the un-
fortunate gentleman was knocked down, the whole of
the carriages passing over his body; so frightful was the
mutilation of his body that identity was difficult. Ile
was highly esteemed in the county. An inquest was
held on his remains, when it being clearly shown that
no blame was attached to any of the iailway officers, a
verdict of " Accidental death" was returne 1.
THE HUNTERIAN ORATION.—People of England !
Downfall of the Medical Profession.—Fellow Country-
men,—All hygeists will be glad to learn that the medical
profession is on its last legs. 'rho following gratifying
announcement was made by Mr. Skey, on delivering the
Hunterian Oration, on Thursday, the 14th of February,
leso, and reported in the MedicalTimeli, page 111 :
" With large resources, the profession of medicine is at
the present time a degenerate science. The rank of a
select few may yet remain, but the profession has ceased
to be sustained to the level of its real value by the voice
of the public." Hurrah !I ! It is to be hoped that
young men will no longer waste their time and money
by entering such a worthless profession, which even one
of its own professors is forced thus to speak of.—Yours,
&c., The Members of the British College of Health, New-
road, London, February 19, 1850.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
It would appear that the split between the Legiti-
matists and the Ministers is complete. The parti-
pretre were lost in astonishment and fury at their
defeat on the clause of the Education Bill giving the
appointment cf inspectors of schools to the Minister
of Public Instruction instead of to the priests of the
council of education, agd when the division was
over, these friends and associates of the brave and
polite M. LEON DE LABORDE approached the Minis-
terial benches and " blackguarded" (this is the only
appropriate term by which to:describe their conduct)
the Minister for Public Instruction. M. PARTED
appears to have taken the matter very coolly, and
when they had ,exhausted themselves in invectives,
M. VATESMENIL, an old Jesuit nominee in the
Ministry of CHARLES X., thus threatened the
Minister with the wrath of the parti-pretre :
M. Vatesmenil (with great animation)—You would
have it so; and henceforward between us it will be
an implacable opposition.
The Minister of Public Instruction—How t what
do you mean by implacable ?
M. Vatesmenil and the Abbe Leblanc—Yes, an
implacable war.
M. Vatesmenil—Never reckon on us again for
anything.
A Representative—Take note of these words,
Monsieur le Ministre ; these gentlemen tell you that
you cannot count upon them even for the mainte-
nance of order.
The Minister to M. de Vatesmenil—l should like
to receive this declaration in an official form.
M. Vatesmenil—lt is to: the Mountain you owe
this triumph.
The same Representative—Do not mind them. Act
as you are doing, and if these gentlemen turn against
you, the effect will be to convert a portion, at least, of
the Mountain to your side,
M. Vatesmenil—l repeat it ; do not count on us
in any respect.
M. Rouher, Minister of Justice—The question is
not of a vital nature, nor is it even political ; but if
you choose to take it up in that way the Government
will not shrink.
M. Vatismenil (foaming with rage)—You betray
the majority, M. le Ministre. You have gained the
votes of the Mountain, you shall no longer have those
of the majority. We will wage war against you to
the death. Do you understand?
M. Parieu—War ! You dare not do it. I defy
you

As a proof that this defiance was in earnest,
M. PAEIEU ascended the tribune and proposed an
amendment in the next clause, giving the inspectors
the power of inquiring into the nature of the books
used, of the doctrines taught and of the morality ob-
served in clerical schools, as well as in those kept by
laymen, and notwithstanding all the efforts of the
committee, he again carried his amendment, thus
achieving a second victory over the'parti-pretre.
The report of the Committee on the Budget which
was presented by M. BERRTER on Saturday to the
National Assembly, states that the Committee propose
a reduction of 40,284,8971'. on the ordinary budget, for
which the Bill demands a credit of 1,408,776,384 f.,
and a reduction of 44,701,500E' on the extraordinary
budget, for which a credit is demanded by the Go-
vernment of 103,184,0001.
The Patric says :
" The Government is a good deal occupied with the
attitude of the Socialist party in the different depart-
ments of the east and south of France. We are assured
that a great number of workmen, strangers to the city,
have arrived at Lyons under pretence of demanding
work. The plan is said to be to cause insurrections on
different points at the same time, especially in districts
agitated by the partageux, in order to divide the forces
of the Government, and then strike a vigorous blow in
a great centre."
The PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied by
the Minister of War, and Generals NEDMATER,
SANROUL, and JuLIEN, yesterday] visited the troops
in barracks at the Luxembourg, the camp Morland,
the caserne du Foin, and caserne de l'Oursine. He
was everywhere received with great warmth.
The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from a Lon-
don correspondent, on the subject of the blockade
of Greece, from which we extract the following
passage :
" This affair of Greece is much more the act of Earl
they than of Lord Palmerston. Sir H. Ward, Governor
of the lonian Islands, it is who has precipitated the
affair of Greece. It is Sir Henry Ward who insists on
the cession of the Islands of Cabrera and Cervi. Lord
Palmerston had scarcely anything to do with the affair,
and the demand for these islets is to be attributed to the
Colonial-office, and not to the Foreign-office. With re-
gard to the conduct of Admiral Parker, that is explained
by the desire which is entertained to snake King Otho
thoroughly sensible that, should he join the Amts.°.
Russian League, Greece would be at once sacrificed, and
his royalty the first to perish."
The writer then proceeds thus—
_ _

" This Austro-Russian league referred to by Admiral
Parker was the main cause which induced these pro-
ceedings. And I learn from good authority that
Prussia, too, in calling for new armaments is influenced
by the uneasiness she feels at 230,000 :Russians concen-
trated on her frontier, although she is too prudent to
indicate the real point of danger."
Letters from Oran of the 10th inst. state that an
expedition under General MACMAHON against the
insurgent tribe of the Abedias has had complete suc-
cess. The insurgents were severely chastised ; 5,000
sheep were taken. The steamer Lavoisier, was about
to resume the postal service between Oran and the
coast of Morocco, which had been suspended for
some time.

General CASTELLANE left Paris on Monday for
Bordeaux, to take possession of his command.
