LYCEUM THEATRE,

Madame Ristcri took her benefit last night, and
displayed the versatility of her genius by playing with
equal effect in tragedy and comedy. After sustaining
the character of Lady Maebbtla with matchless skid,
she took t'•re part of Rosa, in a lively lit le play, entitled
"La ColLrica," and delighted the audience by the
brilliancy and vivacity of her performance. Her comic
acting is full of delicacy, grace, and fancy ; mirth breathes
in ail her movements ; her spirit seems to break forth as
a bird from a brake, and her happy voice rings through
the house like a silver joy-hell, n.wakiiniog all hearers to
merriment. 7t is impossible to imagine acting more ex-
hilarating, or better calculated to induce people to "lay
life-harming heaviness and entertain a cheerful
disposition."
The house was well attended, and Madame Ristori
was received with the greatest enthusiasm.

Mr. Justice C etswell asked whether Mr.

Lady Harrington ?

Mr. Macaulay sa'd, that it was for that purpose
he was putting the question.
The learned Judge then expressed h's opinion
that that evidence would not be admissible, as the
matters were not cl.)sely enough connected with
the issue in the cause.
Mr. Macaulay said he would not, then, ccntinue
the examination furher.
Mr. Mellor having summed up,
Mr; Macaulay addressed the jury fot the plantifft

which Lady Harrington had given, and to which he
was sure the jury would not give credit.

The jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff,--

From the ExamTner.—" A novel full of attractive incident. Few
of our novelists can paint the trials of life, of female life especially,
more skilfully and affecting'y than the justly popular author el this
tale. Mrs. Hail's • Woman's Starr contains many Oelightful
sketches, and is a pleasant, sensible, well-written, healthy book,

high repination ass writtr of Action."

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Madame Ristori took her benefit last night, and
displayed the versatility of her genius by playing with
equal effect in tragedy and comedy. After sustaining
the charac,er of Lady Macbeth with matchless skid,
she took the part of Rosa, in a lively lit. le play, entitled
"La Collerica," and delighted the audience by the
brilliancy and vivacity of her performance. Her comic
acting is full of delicacy, grace, and fancy ; mirth breathes
in all her movements ; her spirit seems to break forth as
a bird from a brake, and her happy voice rings through
the house like a slyer joy-bell, awakening all hearers to
merriment. Jr is impossible to imagine acting more (x-
-bilarating, or better calculated to induce c,eople to "lay
a•i ,e life-harming heaviness and entertain a cheerful
disposition."
Toe house was well attended, and Madame Ristori
was received with the greatest enthusiasm.

SOUTHWARK.

FZADD AND ALLEGED FORGERY.— James John
Nisbett, a foreman to a large leather dresser in Ber-
mondsey, was brought before Mr. Corrie, charged with
fraudulently withdrawing the sum of 101. is. from the
Southwark Savings' Rank, ,belonging to the Leather
Dressers' Society, also it was alleged that he had forged
the names of one of tt,e trustees to the banking book.
Mr. Burns appeared for the accused,

John Lich said he lived at No. 1, Princes-street,
Spitalfields, and belonged to the Leather Dressers
Society. The pri-oner did belong to the same society,
and was part trustee with five respecting some money
deposited in the South wark Savings' Bank.
In July, 1855, they had 101. in the bank, standing
in their names, and no sut,picion that it had been drawn
out took place unll a few days ago, when witness ascer-
tained that the prisoner had been to the Bank and taken
out the money. He accordingly gave information to
the police and the prisoner was given into custody.
Mr. C rrie said it was a case that required further
investigation, therefore he should remand the prisoner,
but he was willing to except good bail for his future
attendance.

THE SADLEIR ESTATES.

Yesterday, on the applicadon of Messrs. Mor-
rough and Kennedy, solicitors fur the London and
County Bank, the Commissioners of Encumbered
Estat 15 fixed Tuesday, the 17th Nov., for the sale
of a portion of the estates of the late John Sadleir.
The rental of this division of the property is about
4,0001. a year. Twenty years' purchase being the
average rate of the Irish land-market, this slice of
the mysteriously acquired possessions of the suicide
ought to produce at least 80,0001. out of the
250,000/. or 300,0001., the estimated gross value
of all the estates which from time to time came into
Sadlair's hands.

BEFOLT IN MADAGASCAR.

"The news which we rtcerve from Madagascar,"
says the Ger/Leen of the MAuritius, "is most im-
portant. A revolt had burst out in the province of
Ermine, and upwards of 4,000 insurg.arts had made
their appearance at Tanautrivo b 'fore the Queen
claiming protection egainst the acts of brutality of
her delegates in the provinces. But nor. only their
complaints were unattended to, but 1,800 were
arrested and thrown into confinement, to be put to
death on the Ist of June, at the f,te of The Bath,'
the greatest of the Hova people." The accounts
received proceed to say :
"It appears, however, that Prince Rikoute, on
learning this decision of the Queen, formally pro-
tested against so sanguinary an order, and affirmed
that the execution should not take place. He
added that already too much blood had been shed
by his mother's Government, and that it was his
firm intention for the future to sea that a more
humane and morn equitable system of admin.stra-
ton should be acted on with respect to the llova,
people. This declaration, made publicly, in pre-
sence of the Queen, of ier ministers, and of the
whole court, had produced an immense sensation,
and grave events were expected, in case the Go-
vernment ventured to proceed t ) the execution of
the prisoners. M. Lambert (the French agent)
had quitted Tamatava on the 17th May to proceed
to Ermine, followed by the precious objects which
he was charged to clnvey to the Queen and to
Prince Rakoute. This later had sent five of his
aides de-camp to meet him, and the Queen bad
placed at, his orders a numerous escort. It was
supposed that he might reach Tananarive in about
a dozen days, in time to be present at the grand
fetes of the Bath.'"
The presence in the wa+ers of St. Louis of eight
vessels of war of the French division in the Chinee
seas had produced at Tamatava a great sensation.

'TIES.

Mr. Disraeli, it appears, was after all not EO far
wrong when he told the electors of _Buckingham-
shire that nothing of importance would be done in .
the first short session of the New Parliament.
Does anybody believe that anything of importance
will be done between the 7th of May and the be-
ginning of August in Piirliam.entary Reform, in
Law Reform, in any other description of Re-
form ? In the language of the Chancery Court,
many measures of importance may perhaps
be " spoken to," but few indeed will be set down
for a serous bearing, and .fewer still can be ma-
tured into law. There is, however, one measure
which, as we are informed, Lord Palmerston has
.wisely resolved to urge forwhrd at aey rate. It is
an isolated measure. It requires no preliminary re-
search ; it connec's itself with no long train of
doubtful consequences. All that cell be said upon
it hai been said. Action is required—action, and
nothing else. The a'-iuse it saeks to remedy is one
whose perpetuated exis'ence is the infamy of our
age. When all else has yielded in this coun-
try to Vie civilising tendencies of the time,
there stands the insolent obstruction of Jewi-it.

Seven wor is in an oath, intended as a shield.
against the unscrupulous evasions of the Jesuit, are
eonveited into a fenca of exclusion against the con-
scientious scruples of the Jew ; an oath devised
when not a single Jew existed within the limits of
the four seas, is wrested from its original use to
keep the Jew out of Parliament, in an age when he
is pertnittei to exercise every other civil office to
which an Englishman can aspire. Lord Palmer-
ston, we believe, has determined to lose no time
in plaiting an end to this state Of things. The
country has given him a Liberal majority. A more
leitimate employment for such a majority than the
admission of the Jew to Parliament it is impossib'e
to conceive. Let this popular and powerful Prime
Minister strike home, once and for all, at this
miserable sol-eism, this wretched mockery of a con-
scientious conviction—this base anachronism that
seeks to perpetuate in an age of light a spitit only
worthy of the worst days of darkness. If this first
session of the Palmerstonian Parliament is to be
signa'ised by nothing else, at all events let it earn
the credit of having finally trampled under foot that
execrable mummery which perpetuates the abjura-
tion of an extinct family, in order to persecute a
living creed, and preserves the rusty touchstone of
the Jesuit as an exclusive shibboleth to detect and
oppress the Jews.—Daily News.

LIVERPOOL-MAY 1.

At to-day's corn market there was only a small attendance
of the town and country trade ; however, a fair business was
done in wheat, chiefly American red for Ireland, at ld to 2d
per 701bs dearer ; other descriptions fully as dear as on Tues-
day. Flour met a good inquiry, and American brought about
Gd per barrel more money—lrish, however, cannot be quoted
dearer. Oats and oatmeal were held for a slight advance,
which checked sales. Barley, beaus, and peas, sold in retail
at late rates. Indian corn neglected, and some small parcels
of mixed were sold early in the day at 345; which, although
Gd to is dearer than on Tuesday, was is under the current
rates of yesterday ; however, before the close of the market
there were no sellers under 34s 6cl per qr. for mixed, 35s to
35s 6d for yellow, and 37s to 37s 6d for white.

IiEALTII OF THE METROPOLIS.

The first number of a new weekly periodical, en-
titled, " The Rise and Decline of Disease," is issued
this day by the General Board of Health. It is
compiled from thb district returns by Dr. Conway
Evans, with appropriate remarks, and undertakes
to set forth, not the number of deaths, for that is
already done in the weekly return, but the rise and
decline of disease, so that, by recording the num-
ber of seizures and their o.Aracter, a more correct
idea of the state of the public health may ba formed
than i 3 possible under the present limited system.
It is here stated that " In order to attain the de-
sired results, it is impe.)rtant that the weekly return
should be, for what it pretends to be, complete ;
and this it can only bzcorce by a large amount of
voluntary co-operation. It aims at enumerating
especially the new ewes ofacute disc aB3 which a)mo
under treatment by the several public institutions
of the metropolis—in its hospitals and dispensaries,
in its psuper medical relief, in-door and out-door
—in its prisons, asylums, and madhouses. Of these
institutions there are so many, that it may perhaps
belong before all become contributory to th e return.
But the object is so evidently one of public and
professional important•., that probably the direc-
tors and offict-rs of all insti`utions in which r words
are kept will be willing to aid its development ; and
it is believed that, if some few medical. charities
have lancet) registered no particulars of the na-
tore and number of the diseases which their funds
are applied to relieve, considerations of public uti-
lity may induce them- to commence records of so
much importance to socie'y."
This new periodical promises to be of considenble
value to medical men, to whom it will be an index
to the fluctuations of disease prevailing within the
metropolitan district,.
