THE NEW GLOBE THEATRE.

On Saturday evening Mr. Sefton Parry threw
open the doors of hi 3 new theatre, " The Globe,"
situate in Newcastle-street, and in a very shert
space of time the elegant and commodious house of
entertainmeat was crowded in every part. At one
time it was thought that the enterprising proprietor
would have to delay his opening night owing to
the unfortunate fire at ALssrs. Grieve aLd
Telbin's painting rooms, as Mr. Parry informed the
audience in his opening address, that unfortunate
circumstance had not only led to one of the kindest
offers on the part of Mr. Buckstone, of the Hay-
market, but had incited the artistes to fresh exer-
tions, and they had produced a drop scene worthy,
he believed, of their established fame, an opinion
the audience very shortly afterwards confirmed.
The principal eutraece to the new theatre is in
Newcastle-street, and from this a long and elegant
lobby leads direct to the dress-circle, which is on a
level with the street, an exceedingly convenient
arrangement. The audience portion affords seat-
ing accommodation for between fourteen hundred
and fifteen hundred persons. Of these the dress
circle will contain about 150, the gallery 500, and
the pit 600, besides 100 roomy and comfortable
stalls of the latest and most luxurious pattern. It
has been carefully provided that each of these 1,500
spectators shall have a full view of the entire stage ;
and there will also be standing accommodation for a
good many more, all enjoying an uninterrupted view.
The decorations are in white and gold ; the medal-
lion of the ceiling, lit by a sunlight, which is divided
by gold lines into eight compartments, being alone
tinted with pale French gray. The private boxes,
three on each side, are lined with a light pink paper,
bearing a sort of white lace pattern on it, and draped
with crimson satin curtains. A novel style of de•
coration has also been here introduced, namely, the
placing of a kind of gold frame in front of each of
the boxes, which produces a peculiarly elegant effect.
The interior of an opera house similarly ornamented
would rival in magnificence any theatre in the
world. The gilding and entire decorations of
the interior of the theatre have been exe-
cuted by Mr. B. Hurisitz, of Southampton-street,
Strand, and of the many specimens the public havo
seen of his correct taste and judgment none will
exceed that of the interior of the new Globe
Theatre. After Mr. Buckstone's capital farce
" Good for Nothing" had been performed, we had a
new and original comedy, founded on a story of
every-day life, by H. J. Byron, entitled " Cyril's
Success," supported by Mesdames Henrade and
Maggie Brenman, Miss C. Thorne, Miss Behrend,
Miss Hughes, and Mrs. Stephens, Messrs. W.
H. Vernon, C. Warner, David Fisher, J.
Clarke, John Newbound, H. Andrews,
Tyndall, Young, W. J. Hurlstone, &c.
The plot turns on the fortunes of Cyril Cuthbert, a
young author, whose success in almost all branches
of literature turns his head and makes him neglecz-
ful of Lis young wife, who gets herself " talked
about" in consequence of her accompanying one of
her husband's friends, a certain Major Treh erne
M.P., to the opera, and who, in a fit of jealous rage
consequent upon her finding a love letter, as she
presumes addressed to her husband, quits his roof.
The letter causing all the trouble has been
dropped by the major from his pocket, and
belongs to him, not to Cyril; but the jea-
lous wife, having taken the precpitous step, hence
arises misery where all before was happiness and
affluence. Cyril, of course, after his wife's flight,
fails, and he is induced to take part in a duel with
Major Trehern, whom he sapposes he has shot.
This still further depresses him, and it is only on
his wife's coming to him in his misery, and the re-
appearance of the _Major, who has, in fact, only
been wounded, that he bacomes once more a recon-
ciled and happy man. Mr. Vernon supported the
part of Cyril very well, but the great
feature of the performance was the character
of Mathew Piuiker, by Mr. John Clark ;
it is well done in every particular, the make up, the
dress, and acting was faultless, and the clever artist
well deserved the immense applause he received.
Miss Hanrade made a very interesting author's wife,
and Miss Hughes a dashing widow, but Mrs. Ste-
phens seemed to make the most impression by her
admirable representation of a supposed old maid—
but in fact the wife of Mather Pincher. The piece
is remarkably well written, it is invested with gre,:t
interest, and altogether it may be pronounced one
of the most, if not the most, successful production
of its clever author.

The opining night was successful in every parti-
cular, and we congratulate Mr. Sefton Parry on the
hearty and cordial welcome he received on the oma-
sion of his " housewarming."

POLICE 11V7'ELL1GENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DRUNK OR NOT DRUNK.—Nathaniel Edward
Lawson, of 71, Oakley•street, Chelsea, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and behav-
ing in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket.
Sergeant Lindsey, 5 C R, said that at a few mi-
nutes after twelve on Saturday night he saw the
prisoner down a livery stable yard in the Haymar-
ket, surrounded by a crowd of about 1,000 persons.
The prisoner was ejected from the yard by some
of the persons belonging to it, and as he was drunk
and caused a great disturbance he took him into
custody.

The prisoner denied the charge, and stated that
he was on his way home from the Adelphi, where
he was employed. He had nothing to do with
the disturbance which was going on, and got
through into the crowd by accident. He was
quite sober.

James Newby, 160 C, said that on going to the
assistance of the sergeant he found the prisoner
clinging to some railings in the livery stable yard.
The prisoner was very drunk.

The prisoner asked what there was to show that
he was drunk, and the constable said that he could
not walk properly.

Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the officer who was on
duty at the station and took the charge, to be
sent for.

Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that he was on duty
at the Vine-street station on Saturday night and
took the charge, and so far from the prisoner being
as he alleged, sober, he was incapable of giving his
name, address, or description.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner Ds. or seven.
days.

WESTMINSTER.

A HOPEFUL PfIOSPECT.—John Canty, a boy 10
years of age, was charged with being houseless and
sleeping in the open air.
A policeman proved finding him last night in
Fulham-bridge-yard, Knightsbridge. He said he
had not been in a bed for several nights. The con-
stable took him to his father's in Little College-
street, Chelsea, but he refused to take him in or
to see him, and when told that it was necessary he
should come to this court said that he would not
attend.

Mr. Selfe—Won't he—we'll see about that. 1$
anything known of the boy ?

Policeman—He was taken to Kensington work-
hcuse a short time ago, and escaped by getting
over the wall.

Boy—My mother's got 12 months, and so my
father turns me out.

Mr Selfe—They say you ran away from Tien•
sington workhouse. how was that?
Boy—l did'nt like it.

Mr. Selfe—lf everybody was to run away from
what they did'nt like there would be a great deal of
running I think.
Policeman—His mother has got 12 months for
shoplifting.

Boy—And so my father wont have nothing to do

with me.

Mr. Selfe—We'll see about that.
Policeman—The boy has been wandering about
from place to place for a week.
Mr. Selfe--He must be taken care of. Let Lim.
be taken to the workhouse until Friday next. ill
the meantime go to his father with a summons td
attend, and, if he does not, tell him I will have him.
taken on a warrant.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Times remarks that the country has been putting
itself to a vast amount of trouble and expense during the
last fortnight, and the time has now come to inquire what
its objects were, and whether they have been attained. It
has, in fact, been at work on two things. It has been
deciding for itself upon the general merits of a great
measure submitted directly to it, and has simultaneously
been selecting persons to carry out that measure in
its behalf. In respect to the disestablishment of th.. '
Irish Church, the majority of the new members are
but delegates. They go up to Westminster pledged to
accomplish a particular end. The House of Commons hal
been called the Grand Inquest of the Nation. But the
nation sometimes, though not very often, resolves to be its
own Grand Inquest while electing a new House. It has
been so now, and verdicts such as that just brought in by
the country are irreversible, if only the question has bees.
put to it intelligibly. Future elections may augment the'
Liberal forces, as Liberal friends of the Church of Englan I
discover the groundlessness of their panic; but it hardly
seems probable that any question can be mooted for a
long time to come on which the Liberal party will
be tempted to cho-se more uncompromisingly Liber.l
representatives than on this of the Irish Church.
The working, class, which has primarily benefited by last
year's Act, might have been expected to infuse a new
element into the representation ; but it has not yet learnt,
as the middle class had in 1832, by battling for a common
object in company with classes already in possession of a
political status, the necessity of combining forces. It has
consequently reduced Its political influence to nullity by
the vain ambition to be a power in the State by itself. It
squandered its sympathies on candidates whom no '
other class, and not even their own with any
unanimity, would support, while its more educated
champions were left to fight close boroughs. The
Tortes regrets the excessive manifestation of provincial
sentiment. Each constituency has an incontestable right
to choose the man it thinks best suited to its own circum-
stances ; but the theory of the Constitution is that every
member of the House of Commons represents not one
place alone, but the whole kingdom. It is a disposition
to be encouraged that constituencies should in their turn
sometimes select their representatives with a view to their
capacity for fulfilling this Imperial duty.
The Daily Yews thinks the Liberal party may be very
well satisfied with their majority, pr indeed with the
lowest figure to which their numbers can possibly be
reduced. For parliamentary purposes there is no appre-
ciable difference between a majority of 107, a majority of
114, and a majority of 121. The lowest figure represents
an overwhelming preponderance. The highest cannot be
more than overwhelming. It is of little matter to the
Conservatives themselves whether they are drowned in
s'as a hundred and ten fathoms or a hundred and twenty
fathoms deep. But the moral significance of the elections
as a declaration of the mind and purpose of the country is
increased whenever a Liberal victory is won, and is par-
tially impaired by every Liberal defeat.
The Post says that M. Berryer was of that quick,
vehement, impulsive cast of mind, governed and directed,
however, by a shrewd and penetrating intellect, which
seems essential to the great forensic orator. It is a
singuWsr trait in the character of this illustrious advocate
that in his youth he had a passion for becoming a priest.
It was the cloister, rather than the forum, that seems to
have attracted him ; and but for the decisive influence
and authority of his father, who was himself a lawyer, he
would have been lost to the bar. He combined the liberal
man of business and man of the world with the Church.
man and the Legitimist. His independence of mine
saved him from fanaticism both in religion and politics ;
at the same time that his pious instincts and veneration
for ancient institutions made him look up to the
old traditional authority in Church and State. In
1814 he proclaimed publicly the fall of Napoleon; on the
return from Elba he shouldered a royal musket. But
when the old regime was restored, and Legitimacy was
triumphant, we find him figuring in the character of a
mediator, and vainly trying to tone down the bigotry, the
vengeance, and the tyranny of those who had learned
nothing and forgotten nothing. He did not scruple to
warn the ill-fated dynasty of the wrath to come in the
shape of reaction against their foolish system of rule; but
even when the day of reckoning which he foresaw had
arrived, he still cherished a sentimental loyalty to the
Bourbons, though his strong sense made him accept what
he saw and knew to be " the inevitable." In 11;s old age
he took the oath of allegiance to the Empire, and, having
been elected a member of the Corps Legislatif, showed that
at seventy-four he could speak as well in the Chambers as
nt the Bar. His eloquent tongue is now mute for ever.
It is curiously suggestive that the first important public
act of M. Berryer consisted in opposition to the First
Empire, and his last in swearing allegiance to the
Second.
The Standard considers that the less said about violence
and intimidation the better. For every case in which
these forces have been employed in favour of the Conser-
vative candidates at least ten can be adduced in the oppo-
site sense. It has been so throughout Ireland, and it was
so in Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Cambridge, Durham,
Barnsley, Monmouth, Shropshire, East Cumberland, and
deems of similar instances. At Blackburn at this moment
there is a man lying dead whose only crime was that be
had shouted " Vote for Hornby." Some friends of the oppo-
sition candidate set upon him in the street, and when he
asked " My God ! am I to be killed for being a Tory ?"
the answer was prompt and unmistakeable. They
bludgeoned him to death there and then. It may be well
worth the while of our contemporaries to shew that the
great constituencies have thrown over Mr. Gladstone and
the Radicals, and given in their adhesion to the Conserva-
tive party for some other reason than that they distrust
the one and have confidence in the other ; in fact, that
they have said exactly what they do not mean. But no
amount of silly vapouring about bribery and violence and
intimidation will suffice to prove it, or to dilute and
eviscerate of its patent meaning what is for the Radical
party the most awkward fact of the day.
The Morning Summary says : Whether Mr. Gladstone
comes into power, or a Coalition Ministry he patched up, .
the Radical party will equally demand a programme satis-
factory to themselves. True it is that they have suffered
heavy losses in the constituencies, but this will only exas-
perate them the more with the Whigs. The latter would
fain see the question of the Irish Church dropped, and a
laissez-faire policy adopted. Hence their objection to Mr.
Gladstone being Prime Minister, because they know
he is too conscientious to consent to such a scheme.
When he introduces a bill in earnest, the Whigs must
declare for one side or the other—for the rights of pro-
perty. or for its confiscation, for the Constitution or against
it. If the Dukes of Devonshire and Argyll are prepared
to cast in their lot with Gladstone, surely the Duke of
Somerset, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville, and
many others will hesitate. But if they allow a criminal
jealousy of the Conservative party to get the better of
their patriotism; we warn them that they will be left out
doubly in the cold; for when the people realise the true
position of affairs, they will rally round the Conservative
party, the only reliable supporters of their liberties, which
are intimately bound-up with those of the aristocracy, the
Throne, and the altar,
The Telegraph rejoices over the extinction of the Tory
party. It is as dead as a door nail, or his late Most Gracious
Majesty George the Fourth of Blessed Memory. That
its survivors do not realise the fact is nothing extraordi-
nary in the history of parties ; for an extinct school of
belief or a sect in politics is almost never aware of its
demise at the time when the event occurs, There is a
curious theory ventilated in certain.metaphysical books,
to the effect that as we are born without knowing
it, so we also die unconsciously, and pass to new ,
conditions of existence with merely a vague idea that cir-
cumstances have changed. Such is the case with that
which was the " Tory party ;" for not only is this respec-
table and historical entity dead, but it is positively fos-
silised. It lies under new layers of events and policies in
a stratum which is already Eocene. Measured by the
stride forward which affairs and statesmen have taken, it
is absolutely antediluvian. Its name remains, just as the
pterodactyle might have been called a bat, or the
ichthyosaurus a fish ; but nothing in heaven, or upon
earth, or in the waters under the earth, remains like the
Tory party of Castlereagh, of Wellington, or even of
Canning.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL FOR WESTMIN-
STER.—A pastoral letter -from Archbishop Manning was
read on Sunday in the Roman Catholic churches of London
respecting the proposed cathedral intended as a memorial
of Cardinal Wiseman. In the letter it was pointed out
that although a commencement of the collection was made
soon after the cardinal's death, it was felt that the neces-
sities of the diocese, especially with regard to the educa-
tion of poor. children, were so great that all matters not
of urgency must be postponed for a time. Accordingly,
the effort to promote' education was first followed up.
The collection, however, for the cathedral was not for-
gotten, but went on at home and abroad, and a consider-
able sum had been subscribed. A site in Carlisle-place,
Westminster, had been secured, am a large amount of
the purchase-money paid, over. Respecting the church,
the archbibbop further stated that it must be the
Wotkof a very long time, but "that he hoped soon to com-
mence, so as to make the building:{ which ought to be
about it subservient to the work of the diocese. One of
those buildings would be a house for the residence of the
diocesan. These buildings would be executed by Mr.
Gilbert Blount, and the designs for the cathedral
were entrusted to Mr. Clutton. To the ability of each of
those architects the letter bore marked testimony. The
pastoral stated that the collection for the cathedral would
not be allowed to interfere with the other works of the
sliocese.

SANDHURST MILITARY COLLEGE.

A little while ago there was some danger of the disci-
pline at Sandhurst utterly breaking down from the
mistaken leniency of the authorities. The gentle repri-
mand with which foul talk and horrible swearing were
usually visited had come to be regarded rather
as a mark of distinction than a punishment, a sort
of certificate of proficiency in the accomplishments of
blackguardism. A contemporary is glad to hear that
the new Governor is fulfilling the expectations entertained
him, and making the cadets understand that discipline
's a reality. During the present term no fewer than six
s•adets have, it is said, been dismissed with disgrace for
Londuct unbecoming gentlemen.

THE STOKE-UPON-TRENTA.RRANGEMENT

Tile secretary to the committee for promoting the
return for Stoke-upon-Trent of Mr. Hartwell, the
" working men's candidate," writes to the Birmingham
Post: "It is quite true that Mr. Hartwell told
us, on the evening of Friday, the 13th of November,
that he should be compelled to retire through being unable
to meet the expenses required by the returning officer ; but
at the same time Mr. Hartwell did not tell ns that he had
signed an agreement to retire some days before. Had Mr.
Hartwell honestly told us two days previously that be could
not obtain the money, there were working men on his com-
mittee who would have found money wherewith Mr. Hart-
well could have paid his polling expenses. But the whole affair
was an ' arrangement' entered into to deprive the working
men of Stoke of a candidate who was unanimously, or
nearly so, chosen by themselves to represent their indus-
trial interests in the British House of Commons."

THE ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGE ON THE
CHURCH QUESTION.-

The Archbishop of Armagh, on the occasion of the con-
secration of a church built by voluutaoy contributions, in
Belfast, preached a sermon, in which iallusion was
made to the Church question. The political
horizon, his grace said, was covered with clouds
and darkness, pregnant with every element of evil.
The quiet days were gone when they could build the
walls of their Zion in peace. They were cast into the
struggle of a revolution ; the throes of an earthquake
were rolling beneath their feet ; and they knew not what
high towers or lowly dwellings it would throw to the ground
before it passed over. They could look for little aid from
man—little external aid. In such times and circumstances
men seldom judged or acted with calmness. They were
more frequently carried away by prejudice, passion, and
fear, and did the very opposite of that which, in the exer-
cise of reason, they would have done ; as nervous men,
standing on a giddy eminence, are seized with an almost un-
controllable desire to cast themselves into the abyss below.
If they would meet the crisis like Christian men, they must
prepare for exertions and sacrifices. These were demanded
by calamitous times. The church just consecrated was
one of five built and endowed by their townsmen to over-
take the wants of a rapidly-increasing community ; it
would probably be the herald of more. It would
be open to all, and have over the portals the inscrip-
tion, "To the poor the Gospel is preached." In towns
and populous districts the light of God's truth would not
be suffered to be put out, and the work of the ministry
would be sustained, even if they were deprived of every
national stay. It did seem an injustice, after a struggle
of 300 years, that they should have to begin and build
over again ; but if it were God's will, they would cheer.
fully encounter the burden.
