ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—At the last
meeting of the Council of this institution the resignation
by Mr. John Flint South of the office of Examiner was
received and accepted. This gentleman, who has twice
filled the high office of President, was elected a member of
the Council as long ago as 1841, and of the Court of Exa-
miners in 1849. The vacancy will not be filled up until
the expiration of the vacation, when the choice of the
Council will in all probability fall on Professor Busk,
F.R.S., the next senior member of the Council.

THE IRISH CHURCH CO3IMISSION.—We are in-
formed that the report of the Church Commission will be
published within a fortnight. The voluminous schedules
are not yet quite ready. A Commissioner attends each
day at the Irish-office to revise them.

ANOTIIER ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM TIIE
COUNTY GAOL.—On Saturday morning, a prisoner, who
was awaiting his trial, from Rochdale, on the charge of
housebreaking, escaped from the County Gaol, Strange-
ways, by passing out with some workmen who had been
engaged on the building. This is the second escape that
has occurred during the last fortnight from the County
Gaol.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT A THEATRE.--OR
Saturday evening the St. James's Theatre was the scene
of a most extraordinary spectacle—one certainly not paid
for by the audience. The " Great Mexican Tragedian," it
appears, did not "draw," and the "little people," taking
alarm at the idea of not getting their money, would not
work. The performances were stopped shortly after nine,
the hissing at the " Great Tragedian" being "frightful,"
and the gallery portion of the audience at once proceeded
to tear up the seats, in which they wore stopped by Mr.
Roe and others of the employes. The house was cleared
before ten, and the audience saw only the " Great 31exi-,
CAU Tragedian" to the second act of "Richard the Third.'

As Rear-Admiral Buckle was nominated to the
naval command at Cork with the distinct understanding
that he should resign the appointment on his attaining the
age fixed for the retirement of officers of his rank, he will,
as a matter of course, haul down Lis flag towards the close
of the year, and it is confidently rumoured that he will be
succeeded by Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C.B. There is
thus a prospect at last, however slight, of a move on the
captains' list, as the promotion of the Director of Tran-
sports is, at all events, certain before the year runs out, if
it does not occur owing to other circumstances in the
meanwhile.—Army and Navy Gazette.
The Sunday bands season in Battersea and Vic-
toria Parks yesterday reached the fourteenth Sunday
and the twelfth performance. Announcemeifts appeared
on the programmes that the season will close on Sunday
next.
