NEW QUEEN'S THEATRE.—Want of space to-day
prevents us from doing more than announcing the une-
quivocal success of Mr. Byron's new drama, 'Dearer than
Life," written for Mr. Toole, and produced here last night.
It was admirably performed by every person engaged iu
it, and the applause at the fall of the curtain was
enthusiastic.

MUSICAL GOSSlP.—Rubinstein, the pianist, is
creating great enthusiasm at Munich. A new opera, en-
titled " Ondina," by Lortzing, has just been produced in
Paris. The violinist and composer, Alfred Holmes, who
is on a tour through Holland, is meeting with brilliant
success. Mr. Frederic clay, the amateur composer of some
slight theatrical music, is writing a new operetta for St.
George's Hall. A grand new Mass, written by M. Bour-
gault-Ducourdet, was performed at the Church of the Ma-
deline, Paris, on Christmas morning. The solos were
sung by the Baroness de Caters (daughter of Lablache),
and M. Faure, with telling effect. The composer has al-
ready carried of a prize from the Conservatoire at Rome,
and the music of this Mass is spoken highly of. A magni-
ficent silver tea and coffee service has just been presented
to Mr. J. J. Carrodus, of London, by the inhabitants of
Keighley, his native town.--Musical Standxtrd.

EXAVINATION OF THE FENIAN COL

BITRKE AND CASEY.

BOW-STREET-THIS DAY.

The further examination of Colonel Burke, Theo-
bald Casey, and Henry Shaw, alias Mulady, was
proceeded with to-day before Sir T. Henry.
The police arrangements in the neighbourhood of
the court were again further strengthened to-day
by a double line of constables being placed both
above and below the entrance to the police-court.
The constables in the interior of the court, and
about the dock in which the three prisoners were
standing, were each armed with a loaded revolver,
which they.earried.openly in their hands.
Mr. Giffarl, Q.C:, and Mr. Poland appeared on
the pat of the Crown to prosecute. Mr. M'llonati,
in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Torr, appeared
for Burke, and Mr. Le xis for-Casey anti Shaw.
The first witness examined was,

henry Fisher, a shipping clerk, who said—l was
formerly in the employ of the railway company at
Curzon-street Railway Station, Birmingham. I
was so employed on the 9th, ]oth, and 11th of De-
cember, 1866. I loaded certain goods, and knew
them by the figur,:s on them. The cases spoken
to by the Wimess were those containing the En-
field rifles purchased by Burke of-Mr. Kylock. The
prisoner Shaw brought the goods to be shipped.
Mr. Lewis—You are now speaking as to your
belief ?

Witness—That is the ma n that brought the
goods to me.
➢lr. Giffard—l now propose that the depositions
taken against Burke and Casey be read, in order
that they may be taken as against Shaw
The evidence of Massey, the approver, and the
other witnesses was then read, but neither Mr.
Nl'Donald nor Mr. Lewis asked .any questions in
cross-examination on,the part of the prisoners.
Mr. Lewis asked that Corydon might be recalled
as he wished to ask him a question or two. His
reaton for doing so was that he (Mr. Lewis) was
not instructed whes he was first examined.

Sir T. Henry—Certaiiily ; let him come into the
box. . .

Mr. Lewis—Have you given any evidence against
Shaw in Ireland? _ _ _

Corydon—No. I identified him as Mulady in
gaol.
Mr. Lewis—Have you sworn anything against
him?

Corydon—No ;he was not tried there.
Mr. Lewis—l know that. Have you sworn any
information against him ?
Corydon—No. He was arrested in March. The
prisoner registered his name as Henry Shaw.
Sir T. Henry—Where ?
Corydon—ln Ireland. He was arrested the day
after the rising. I saw him in Kilmainham Gaol.
The names of the witnesses who have given evi-
dence, amounting to 35, were then called over, and
each having answered,.
Mr. Giffard said, on the evidence adduced, he
had now to ask that the prisoners be committed for
trial on a charge of treason-felony, and as the acts
proved had extended to various parts of England
and Ireland, yet as the principal overt act, and
the foundation of the substantial case against Burke
was the purchase of arms at Birmingham, he should
ask for the committal of the prisoners to take their
trial at the next assizes to be held at the county of
Warwick.
Sir T. Henry—Yes ; I think that Warwick is the
proper venue.
Mr. Macdonald—l don't rise to oppose, although

I think that Burke would receive a fairer trial in
London. The trial at Warwick cannot take place
for at least two months, and it was a great hard-

ship for Burke to be detained for so long a time,
especially as he had already been in prison for eight
weeks. You, Sir Thomas, have the power to com-
mit them for trial in London.

Sir T. Henry—Yes, I know that, and I think I
exercise a proper discretion, as the principal overt
act took place in Birmingham, in sending the pri-
soner for trial at Warwick.
Mr. Lewis--:The effect of such a proceeding on
Casey and Shaw would be to greatly augment the
expenses of the trial. They intend to call a large
number of witnesses.
Sir T. Henry—There is a provision for that
now.
Mr. Lewis—=There is the expense of sending
•
counsel so far.
Sir T. Henry—That I cannot help; the chief
witnesses come from Warwick.
Mr. M‘Donald—There are witnesses from a great
many places.
Sir T. Henry—l am quits aware of that, but
they must be remitted to Warwick Gaol, for trial
at the Spring Assizes, and I direct that all the
witnesses be bound over in the sum of £lOO to at-
tend and give evidence at the trial.
Mr. Lewis—Will you allow me, Sir Thomas, to
remind you that Casey was at first only charged
with the assault on the police officer, and—
Sir T. Henry—lt is perfectly useless to repeat
the application for bail. I cannot take bail in such
a case as this. It is right that I should ask you,
Mr. M‘Donald, whether you wish to call any wit-
nesses?
Mr. M'Donald—l understand that there are a
great number of witnesses, but I do not propose to
call them now, as I feel nothing would induce you,
sir, to alter your decision of committing the pri-
soner for trial. '
Sir T. Henry—No, you are quite right upon that

_
point.
The prisoners were then removed from the dock
closely guarded by police.
