PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new tragedy, in five acts, entitled The Templar,
was produced here on Saturday with triumphant and
most deserved succes. The author, Mr. Slous, is a
new aspirant for dramatic fame, and he bids fair to
become one of the best writers of acting plays of the
day. He thoroughly understands the art of construc-
tion, and never commits the fault, the unnatural
fault, of delaying the action of his drama in order to
give his characters an opportunity of spouting sickly
sentimentalities in misty language; his characters are
all human beings, not monsters of perfection or of
vice, and they speak a human language and are actu-
ated by human feelings; we feel with them and we un-
dental:A their expressions. The play is excellently well
built, the interest is gradually worked up through every
act, and the climax does not come until the end of the
play. The scene is laid on the coast of Normandy,
the time is at the rime of the destruction of the
Dmplars, and thus runs The plot :—Gaston la Marche,
a French noble of the sect of the Albigenses, is living
in the condition of a poor fisherman on the coast, with
his daughter Isoline. In the persecution of his sect
his castle had been sacked, and his wife and son mur-
dered, he himself having escaped with his infant
daughter. The author of his ruin, Aymer de la
Roche, has become a Templar, and is master of the
Preceptory near which La Marche and his daughter
dwe.t. A secret attachment has been formed between

Isoline and Bertrand, a young soldier, who
has con-
cealed from her that he is the follower of the Templar,
and is himself under the monastic vow of the order. At
length he reveals to her this secret, which she hears
with grief and horror, and resolves to tear herself
from him for ever. She seeks her father, and im-
plores him to fly with her to some other abcde, but
withholds the cause of her agitation, till pressed by
his questions, she reveals her secret. La Marche dis-
covers another secret, by reading (somewhat irregu-
larly) a letter addressed to De la it oche, of which, in
his lowly capacity, be has been employed to be the
bearer ; be discovers that his daughter's lover is the
son of his arch-enemy the Templar, towards whom be
nourishes implacable hatred. Thirsting for revenge,
he seeks De la Roche, to whom he denounces Ber-
trand, as having, in breach of his vows, carried on an
unholy intercourse with a woman. He contrives that
his daughter shall again meet her lover ; and, in
proof of his accusation, conducts the Master of the
Templars to a place where he hears Bertrand urging
Isoline to fly with him. Bertrand is instantly
seized, solemnly tried for breach of his vow, and
condemned to death. The Master offers him his

life on condition of his revealing the partner of his
crime, an offer which he firmly and scornfully rejects.
La Marche, who, in the disguise of a monk, has wit-
nessed thetrial, is touched to the heart by the youth's
nobleness, and determines to save him. Seizing an
opportunity, he communicates to Bertrand the secret
of his birth (of which the youth himself is ignorant),
and tells him to seek an interview with his father
and reveal it to him, giving him also the means of
proof. But Bertrand's guards refuse to conduct
him to the Master's presence ; he is conducted to
the scaffold, and the moment of his death has almost
arrived when Isoline, who has made her way into
the interior of the -Preceptory by climbing over
broken arches and ruined walls, throws herself
wildly at the Master's feet, exclaiming that it is his
own son who is about to suffer death. The stern
Templar at first repulses her, but La Marche, who
has followed her, avouches the truth. While the
Templar hastily countermands the execution, the
trumpet signal of death is heard, and all seems over,
whe❑ suddenly there are sounds of conflict; a great
body of troops, under the King's lieutenant, have
stormed the castle. The soldiers of the Temple de-
fend themselves bravely. Bertrand rushes to his'
father, and fights by his side. But the old man is
slain ; his troops are routed ; and Philip of Valois, en-
tering at the head of his forces, proclaims the dissolu-
tion of the order and the banishment of the knights
from France ;at the same time absolving from their
vows the inferior grades of the order, and thus remov-
ing the bar to the union of Bertrand and Isoline.
The Fart of Gaston de la Marche was sustained by
Mr. Charles Kean, and that of Isoline, his daughter,
by Mrs. Charles Kean ;and never have we seen either
of them to greater advantage. The scene in the
second act, in which the old father discovers that his
daughter has not given hies the whole of her confi-
dence, was superbly acted both by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kean ; and in the scene in which Gaston
denounces Bertrand to the Templar, Mr. Charles
Kean was most effective. The look of pride and
hate which he casts on the Grand Master, when
he orders him to kneel as a serf, was the very
perfection of acting. Fine, very fine was he in the

trial scene; and in the next scene, when he dare not
look at his daughter crossing the ruined arch, but in
agony listens to the account the woodman gives of her
progress, and then %hen he hears she is safe falls
senseless to the ground, giving one agonized shriek, he
was equal to his father. Mrs. Kean's delineation of ihe
gentle, loving Iroline,was beautifully pathetic; and Mr.
Belton gave a most spirited version of the part of Ber-
trand. The mist en scene was beautiful. The sea-coast
scene was equal to the best of Stanfield's productions,
and for gorgeous magnificence we have seldom seen
anything to approach the chapter of the Knights
Templars, assembled for the trial of Bertrand.
Beautiful exceedingly, too, was the subsequent scene
of the ruined arch leading to the fortress of the
Templars. At the conclusion the applause was rap-
turous. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean were first called
on, then Mr. Belton, and then there were loud calls
for the author, who bowed his thanks from a private
box. The house was-crowded in every part.

corder then presented the retiring Lord Mayor to
their Lordship, stating tiAt, during his mayoralty,
he bad s;gnally well maintlined the dignity of the
office and the hospitality of the Alamdou-bousie.
The-Lrnan CHIEF BARON, addressing the Recorder,
said he had the honour to congratulate him on being

chosen by the unanimous voice of his fcilow-citizen;
to the high office he now held ; he had still more to

congratulate him upon the more enlarged sphere that

be would now hwe for the exercise of those qualities
which the Learned Recorder had justly presented to
the attention of the Court end which had occasioned

that iiiiportant Gflic;

to select him to SIl
for, as the Learned

Recorder had observed, the proceedings of this day
were not a mere gaudy Rn'l idle pageant. He (ihe
Lord Mayor) and the officers of the city around him,
as the Recorder had ~bserved, came to do homage to

the 14W; they came alAo to cl:tim those privileges that

bt4onged to thorn, and to a,,..ert those principles which

were einhodiedin the corporate principle, for the cor-

poration, of which he was the h-ai, afforded the most
illustrious example of the benefits of popular
institutions, and how largely and advantageously the
people miot be entrusted with the management of
their own affairs. His Lordship then made an
affecting response to the eulogium pased on the late
Sir Robert Peel by the Recorder, adding, that the
best tribute that could be paid to the memory of that
great man would be to remember his life, and
follow the example of his patriotism and
his devotion to the interests of his coun-

Lordship then referred to the' benefits likely to
accrue to this country and to the world at large by
the forthcoming industrial exhibition in the advance-

ment and improvement which it might be expected to
give to art and science, and in the promotion of feel-
ings of international amity ; and then concluded by

nifie;i manner in which he' had exercised the duties

A letter from Pesth, of the 31st ult., states that
great sensation had been caused in that city by the
;amities of several person., who were executed in
virtue of sentences of the revolutionary courts-mar-
tial, having commenced actions against the judges of
the courts to recover damages.

We are sorry to hear that William Butler, the jockey,
formerly with Mr. T. Parr, died of cholera on board the
Ilindostan, en route from Suez to India, on the 11th of
September, after an illness of thirteen hours.
THE MOORS.-Mr. Crompton chsod his season at
Corrour on Monday, the 21st of October, having had
most excellent sport. With his friends, Mr. Blair, M.P.
for Bolton, and Mr. Woolmer, of Exeter, aided by the
gun of an occasional visitor, he bagged the large number
of 3,077 head of game, Mr. Crompton killed with his own
gun upwards of 1,000 head, including grouse, ptarmigan,
hares, snipe, and roe. Mr. Blair was not far behind.
The birds were remarkably healthy, and, as Mr.
Crompton did not commence till the 31st of August,
they were strong on the wing, and in fiae plumage.
These results will suggest to the true sportsman the great
benefit he would derive by not beginning to shoot on the
12th of August, at which time scarcely a brood of
birds have come to perfection, being neither fit to kill,
nor tit for carriage when killed. As for the amusement
of shooting " cheepers," to make up a bag, let those in-
dulge in it who shoot for " numerical" fame, and not
for the real enjoyment of the sport. Another advantage
of not commencing until about the Ist of September is
the certainty of more birds being left to ensure sport for
the next year.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP INDEFATIGABLE ORDERED
HOMH—Some three months since, when the attempt
of The Yankee pirates to take possession of Cuba had
been defeated, the Admiralty detached the Indefati-
gable, 50, from Commodore Martin's Squadron, direct
to the Havannah, the Trineomalte, 25, being on her
passage home at that time. We regret to hear, how.
ever, that the Indefatigable is now to come home
again to Devonport ; so that, on the whole, instead
of our West India Squadron being strengthened, it
will actually be reduced. Some of these days, when
we find, in the absence of a naval force on the station,
that the Island of Bermuda, or some other colonial
possession, has been seized by a band of pirates, we
shall send a man-of- war out to see what has been the
matter; and snding that she is not strong enough to
recover the place, she will be ordered home. We are
evidently coming to this state of things with our navy
by these pieget-neal reductions.
RETIRED CAPTAINS OF THE NAVY.—We are en-
abl'd to announce that Captain George Woolcombe,
of July 22, 1830, has also accepted the retirement of
1846, on IBs. per diem.
WEto WILL Go TO CHINA ?—We learn that no 1
Major General has yet been found hardy enough to ;
accept the command at Hong-Kong. Six, at least,
have declined the offer, and Major-General Staveley is
to remain until his successor shall be sent out, who
Will then proceed to Bombay.

CRANE'S CHARITY.

The trustees of Crane's charity, for the relief of
sick scholars, will hold a meeting at Jesus College
Lodge on Tuesday, the 19th of November, to consider
and determine the claims of applicants. Applications
must be made by scholars to the tutors of their res-
pective colleges, and contain full particulars both of
the medical charges and of the circumstances of the
applicants. The grants will be confined to such
charges as have been incurred during the half-year
immediately preceding the meeting.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.
We believe we can offer priority of intelligence
upon a topic which is at this moment of the deepest
possible interest to the inhabitants of the principality
—especially to those who reside westward of Swansea.
A new agreement has been entered into between the
directors of the Great Western Railway Company
and the directors of the South Wales Railway Cow.
pany, which secures to the latter company a certain
income to a small amount, and a chance of making
additional profit. This agreement merely waits the
formal sanction of the shareholders to render it at
once operative. There cannot be a doubt that by
this arrangement a great deal of litigation and an
enormous expense will be dispensed with, as we are
cngnizant of the fact that the Great Western di-
rectors were determined to avail themselves of
every possible opportunity to break through their
original agreement with the South Wales Company.
This perplexing difficulty having been happily solved,
and the South Wales Company being thus extricated
from the hands of the lawyers, we are further in.
formed that as so much money has already been ex-
pended upon the line westward of Swansea, the works
to Carmarthen will be almost immediately proceeded
with. As the agreement with the Great Western
Company merely comprehends the traffic between
Swansea and Gloucester, the South Wales Company
have determined to progress westward independently
of their powerful English neighbours, and thus the
explanation which we were some time since autho-
rised to publish by Mr. Talbot, M.P., the Chairman
of the South Wales Company, will be verified to the
letter. At all events the shoals and quicksands which
beset the efforts of the directors have by this new
agreement been cleared away, and they are left with
free scope to carry out their intentions, which will
therefore, we should imagine, be so much the more
rapidly and readily accomplished.-- Welshman.

Dispatches were received on Saturday, at the Co-
tonial-office, from the Governor of Sierra Leone.
