.HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

A grand "extra" performance was given last night at
the above theatre for the benefit of Maddle. Piccoloreini.
The entertainments were of a miscellaneous character,
and consisted of scenes from "La Figlia del Reggi-
mento," "II Trovatore," " La Traviata, ' and " I Mar-
tini," the divertissement entitled "Les Rotor.," and the
second tableau of the ballet called " Aealista." Piccolo-
mini was of course the " bright particular star" of the
evening, and judging from the almost unprecedented
applause bestowed upon her on every possible occasion,
we might infer that the large audience had assembled
for the sole purpose of doing honour to her genius.
Never in all our experience of theatrical matters have
we witnessed anything like the enthusiastic homage
which was paid to the great little artist last night. She
was called before the curtain several times after each of
her performances, whilst innumerable bouquets and lau-
rel crowns were showered about her from every part of
the house within reach of the stage. The entire enter-
tainment went off with extraordinary brilliancy and
eclat.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.
We are requested to correct one or two observations in
the chairman', speech at the meeting of this company on
Saturday. The words referring to the South-Wester.,
terminus should be the London-bridge terminus, and
those regarding the solicitor of the company were meant
to allude to the solicitor of the Old Croydon Company,
who, e line was sold to the London and Brighton. The
allusion to the confiscation of South Western property
should be to that of the Brighton and South Coast
Corepany.

TROOPS TO INDIA.—From a list published by Mr.
Biller, of the Jerusalem Coffee House, we find the fol-
lowing vessels have already been taken up by the East
India Company for the conveyance of troops to India,
viz. ; —The Barham, to convey 138 men ; Bucephalus,
252 men ; Monarch, 300 men ; Agamemnon, 360 men ;
Sarlej, 288 men ; Octavio, 276 men ; Ellen soroogh,
252 men ; Cressy, 238 men; Blenheim, 336 also ;

patam, 258 men; Bombay, 402 men ; Albuera, 252
men ; Owen Glendower,3oo.rnen ; Sir George Seymour,
252 men; and the Rarnilles to convey 240 m -n. Includ-
ing the 4400 troops, for the conveyance of whom vessels
are still required, a total of 10,140 men is here she,wn.
The whole of these troops, with the exception of 252,
are of leer Majesty's service. The ships Adelaide, Sir

TRH FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHREWSBURY.—An inquest
was held yesterday at the Guildhall to inquire into the
circumstances attending the death of Edward Joseph
Ditcher, one of the 10 unfortunate persons who lost
their lives on Friday night in consequence of the tem-
porary bridge across the Severn, in connection with
Jullien's fete, giving way. Evidence was given to the
effect that,
in consequence of the complaints made of
the injury to the quarry from Jullien's fete of last year,
permission was granted to Mr. Hay to use the Island of
Poplars for the late fete, on the condition that Mr. Hay
employed a competent person to construct a bridge of
boats by which to approach the island. Mr. Hay men-
tioned the name of Mr. Randal, architect, and stated
that he intended to have two bridges, one for the ap-
proach to and another for persons leaving the island. It
was afterwards found that one bridge only was erected.
A verdict of accidental death was returned, the jury at
the same time expressing their regret that the bridge had
not been previously tested.
ROUTES TO THE RED RIVER,—In reply to a question
put by Mr. Wyld on Friday night, Sir John R ,mstlen
stated that the reason for sending the troops round by
Hudson's Bay (three times the distance), was that the in-
tsrvenir g gr, and between the Lake and the Red River,
about 300 miles, was impassable. It is said, on the other
si le, that there are 700 miles from York of an equally
difficult C f
-°"47. However, if there was a willingness to
send them the right road, we do not think 300 rn,l, s would
be an obstacle—Colonel Crofton, who travelled both, pre-
ferring the route between Lake Superior and Red River
to that from York. A.B the Canadas have become very
excited on the matter, our Government should send out
orders by next mail that any troops remaining should
take the short route ; it would be only just to the col hers
and their women
to do so. The Grand Trunk Railroad
books from Quebec to St. Paul (1,550 mi;e ) for
3/. 3s. for third class, and 7/. 93, first class. Why not
send the women and children this way ? St. Paul being
about 300
wiles from the settlement, which can be
reache,l in six days by steamboat and waggons, or ten
from Toronto,
Compared to 70 or 80 days, vice Hudson's
Bay. We question the policy of the company paying
the expenses of British troops, but if they do, they
ought to take the most speedy and cheap route, the ex-
pense being four times as much by Hudson's Bay, which
captain Heard described as most dangerous from ice.
