PRINCE LOUIS OF HESSE DARMSTADT.---The
public at Darmstadt (Hesse) is much occupied with a dif-
ference which has arisen between the Minister of War and
Prince Louis on the subject of the military convention with
Prussia ; and as the result of which the Prince has resigned
his commission as general of division. The Grand Duke
has declined to accept this resignation ; but the Prince,
under pretext of illness, has ceased to perform the duty,
which causes uneasiness among a portion of the population,
who fear to see a Prussian general take the vacant post.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A SHIP FROM SINKING.—
Plymouth, Sunday.—The Conservator, screw steamer,
arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday, from Odessa,
with wheat, for orders. On Saturday night several feet
of water were found in her hold. Assistance was imme-
diately procured from her Majesty's ships, and the water
was pumped out to-day. The Conservator's bottom has
been examined by divers, but no defect was found. It is
believed a valve was accidentally left open.—

CORN.

The tendency of the trade is firm.
The country markets are rather dearer for English
wheat, and quiet for foreign.
Off the coast there are 30 cargoes of wheat on sale, and
hold for extreme to rather stiffer rates.
At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair attendance,
and with moderate supplies of English grain and fair of
foreign, trade was quiet at very steady prices.

Foreign wheat wall held, and a quiet sale at steady

prices.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Another female acrobat, Madlle. Pereira, ap-
peared last night, whose performances upon the
apparatus known as the " lofty trapeze" are not to
be surpassed for elegance and agility. In figure
Madlle. Pereira is below the average height, very
graceful and symmetrical. She is remarkably
pretty, and, masculine as are her achievements, her
manner and expression are thoroughly feminine.
Besides executing upon the trapeze almost every
daring and difficult evolution ever attempted by her
rivals of the other sex, she performs a feat of her
own as sensational as any other that has ever been
essayed for the excitement of a wonder-loving
public. Nothing more daring, or more easy and
elegant in the style of performance has ever been
witnessed in London.,

There was a large attendance of holiday folks at
the Amphitheatre, and the various feats of horse-
manship and athletism were cleverly performed-
amidst great applause.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

Professor Anderson, the veteran conjuror, com-
menced a short season at this theatre last night.
The little theatre, which is none of the handsomest,
by the aid of Japanese scenery and lanterns really
looked brilliant, and a large audience testified their
appreciation of the wonderful skill of the professor
and his talented daughters. It would occupy too
much space to describe the various tricks by which
two live rabbits were rolled into one, pockethand-
kerchiefs and bonnets were burnt and soon after-
wards returned to their owners in perfect condition,
bottles of water made to supply port, sherry, and
other liquors at will ; the magic portfolio of about
six inches in thickness, from which was drawn out
a live girl, a pair of rabbits, a goose, a cage of
canaries, a dressing case, and a large trunk, and all
the other wonders which Professor Anderson per-
formed without the slightest hitch. It will suffice
to say that he fully maintained his reputation as
the prince of conjurors.

RI7UALISM AND lIIE ENGLISH LAW.

About a twelvemonth ago we drew our
readers' attention to the famous " opinions of
counsel" upon the legality of the proceedings
of the Ritualists, which, like the dropping
shots from the outposts, gave warning of im-
pending battle ; we pointed out the probable
line of attack and defence, and the kind of
interest Catholics must naturally take in Pro-
testant principles being recognized or ignored
by our national law. After the usual prelimi-
nary skirmishes, the first pitched battle has
now come off, and may be characterised as a
drawn battle, the assailants having failed to
carry all the positions they attacked. We are,
therefore, not surprised to learn that both par-
ties are reorganizing their forces for a fresh
and decisive conflict.

The point of law involved in the case really
lies in a nutshell. It is simply whether the
acts complained of, viz., the use of incense, of
lights, and of the mixed cup and the elevation
after the consecration prayer, are, or are not,
to use the language of the Privy Council, in
its judgment in Westerton's case, " compa-
tible with and subsidiary to" what is enjoined
in the Anglican Prayer-book. On hearing,
then, that the judgment of the learned Dean
of the Court of Arches took four hours and a
half in the delivery, we naturally at once anti-
cipated that, whatever might be otherwise its
merits, we should not find in it a precise or
luminous exposition of the law. The anticipa..
tion was by no means unfulfilled. In fact,
when the learned Judge, forgetful of the stern
and dry rule enunciated by the Privy Council,
" We sit here simply to interpret Acts of Par-
liament"—launched out into citations from the
Fathers—investigations into the usages of
Catholic antiquity—into the belief o the
Anglican " Reformers " and of " holy " Bishop
Kerr—it was evident that he was quite at sea
in the matter. When he came to the pith of
his judgment, and laid down that in his opinion
the use of incense was not even indirectly sub-
sidiary to the rites appointed by law, he did not
even assign a single reason for his opinion.
That an act intended to add solemnity to
the more solemn parts of a sacred rite is not
subsidiary to sucli rite, it is difficult to under- ,

THE STANDARD THEATRE.

At this theatre one of the best of the Elizabethan
dramas was presented. The piece was Webster's
" Duchess of Malfi ;" and if its author, the old pa-
rish clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn, could have seen
his drama as it was put on the stage last night, he
certainly would have been pleased with the
scenic effects. Several of these—especially a moon-
light scene, and the Grand Hall, were extremely
well painted by Mr. Richard Douglass ; and no
doubt when the, piece has run several nights there
will be greater promptitude ou the part of the scene
shifters. We cannot sty as much for the acting as
for the scenery. Of the two principal parts, the
one of the Duchess was taken by Miss Glyn, and
that of the Duchess's brother, Duke Ferdinand, by
Mr. H. Marston. Perhaps it was because we were
used to the more subdued and refined acting of
theatres not quite so far to the east that the per-
formance of this actor and actress seemed to us con-
siderably overdone. Mr. Marston would have to
restrain himself very considerably should he ever
tread the boards of the Lyceum or Old Drury.
There were, however, occasional scenes which
showed considerable power, especially the murder
of the Duchess, though we confess to some bewil-
derment at seeing her reappear after she had been
strangled. Of the other actors by far the best was
Mr. Alfred Rayner in " Bossola." In fact, we are
disposed to consider his acting the best of the com-
pany. It was natural without being tame, like Mr.
Charles Verner's Antonio, and vigorous without
ranting as Mr. Marston's Ferdinand frequently
was. The attendance was very large, and the
" gods," as usual, vehemently applauded all the
virtuous sentiments.

LYCEUM.

The troupe of Japanese jugglers, the same which
performed in Paris during the whole of the past
summer, and which bad previously obtained consi-
derable repute in America, gave their first public
performance last night. No previous performance
of the same class yet witnessed in England is so
remarkable as this, or so well calculated to display
to advantage the remarkable union of litheness and
strength which is the secret of all Oriental tours de
force. The programme opened with a series of
contortions and somersaults by the younger mem-
bers of the company. Very clever were the whole
of these circular somersaults, in which Oriental
nations, particularly the Arabs, excel, and they were
fitrikingly estcutO, gticiA wish* TfiVi cawed by

the manner in which the young Japanese, with a
complete defiance of all commonly received physio-
logical laws, bent themselves back into the shape of
frogs, or hopped about mere animated knots of
limbs. Then came a clever feat of balancing. A
tub was first balanced upon the feet. Several
smaller tubs were then handed to the performer,
who, piling one on the top of another until they
formed a pyramid, , and placing the largest on
the top, balanced the whole:; then kicking them
suddenly away, received the topmost one once more
upon his feet. Clever as seemed this exhibition, its
effect was much enhanced when for the topmost tub
was substituted a Japanese mite, popularly known
in France and America as Little Allright. The
contortions and gestures of pretended fright of this
youngster were very comic, and his fall from an ab-
solutely perilous elevation on to the feet of the man
beneath him was very clever and loudly applauded.
Many other feats were exhibited, the most rernaik-
able being the high slack rope-walking. With an
umbrella in cne hand and a fau in the other, the
funambulist glided with easy motion backwards
and forwards, often only on one foot, along a rope
which oscillated violently. Ihe power-to accom-
plish this feat is largely due to the prehensile nature
of the feet above referred to. As a whole, the exhi-
bition is original and startling, quite distancing all
Oriental entertainments by which it has been
preceded.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

After a long absence from London, principally
occupied with a highly successful engagement in
Australia, Madame Celeste has returned to take her
farewell of the stage with which she has been long
and honourably associated. Accordingly last night
she made her appearance at the St. James's
Theatre, assuming the part of Rudiga in the
drama of the' Woman in Red." A full audience
assembled to witness the performance, which was
announced as under the patronage of the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. Madame
Celeste received an enthusiastic welcome. For 12
nights only will these farewell performances be re-
peated.

L.AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
_IA EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying dossn for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

HOME-SICKNESS•

In last week's number of Charles Dickens's All
the Year Round appeared a charming copy of verse;
entitled " At Home in Staten Island," consisting of
thirteen eight-lined stanzas, which we would 10.111
give here in their entirety, had we bat the Win
for so lengthened a metrical extract. The author-
ship of the poem it is surely impossible not to
recognise—impossible at any rate among those Abe
through the " Voices from the Crowd" and °I.
" Voices from the Mountains" have long learnt t°
love the name of Charles Mackay as one of til6
People's true Song-writers. In a note prefited t°
the patriotic poem we are here alluding t'°;
the author takes occasion to remark "6,
" For the proper understanding of the followin;
,0
verses, written by a home-sick Englishman 101
resident in Staten Island, near New York, it Mal I',
necessary to state that in North America there s'f
neither daisies, nor primroses, nor skylarks, Dot
nightingales, nor any bird with a musical note Well
the mocking bird, which is not often heard north
Maryland." The writer adding, "The' dogwood' And#
the catalpa,' of which mention is made, are 00'0
ing trees of great beauty in the vernal landeaPet,o
Thereupon follows the poem in which the Pne
true love having invited him to fix his home thero
w
in Staten Island, he thus answers the seeming

tion :

" A little while," I made reply
"A little while—one summer :
For, pleasant though the land may be
To any fresh new comer,
I miss the primrose in the dell,
The blue-bell in the wild-wood,
And daisy glinting through the grass
The comrade of my childhood.

" I miss the ivy on the wall,
The grey church in the meadow,
The fragrant hawthorn in the lanes,
And all the beechen shadow. .
And more than all that proves to me
It never can be my land,
I miss the music of the groves
In leafy Staten Island.

" There's not a bird in glen or shaw
That has a note worth hearing ;
Unvocal all as barn-door fowls,
Or land-rails in the clearing.
Give me the skylark far aloft
To heaven up-singing, soaring ;
Or nightingale, at close of day,
Lamenting, but adoring !
" Give me the throstle on the bough,
The blackbird and the linnet,
Or any bird that sings a song
• As if its heart were in it.
And not your birds of gaudier plume,
That you can see a mile hence,
And only need, to be admired,
The priceless charm of silence."
3u0600
Altogether this little poem is a charming pro
—the sweetest utterance that has ever been garp
to the home-yearnings of the victims of n°9.Vof
with one only exception—Campbell's " re-
Erin," the tender close of which who does 0°
eeo,
member (almost with tears) as " Erin mavoarn
Erin go-bragh ?"

WESTMINS rE R.

A WOMAN CHARGED WITH ATTACKING THE MILI-
TARY.—Susau Walsh, a smart, dapper-looking dimi-
nutive girl, was brought before the magistrate
charged with assaulting the military at Chelsea
barracks.

Sergeant Bramwell, of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
said that last night on his return to Chelsea bar-
racks, after an absence with a comrade on leave, he
was accosted at the gate by the defendant, who
used very indecent and unbecoming language,
which she followed up by throwing a handful of
gravel at him, as well as at the sentry on duty. She
had before been insulting the sentry.
John Evans, private soldier on sentry at the
gate, said defendant used bad language, and threw
a handful of gravel at him.

Mr. Arnold—Did you know her ?
Sentry—No, she was a stranger to me. I did
not give her any offence in any way.
Defendant said that as she was passing the gate
the sentry said something very offensive to her, and
as she was not going to be insulted with impunity
she threw a handful of gravel at him. Some of it
struck the Sergeant, but she had not intended it for

The sentry was re-called, and positively denied
this. He said it was not likely he should speak to
a girl while on sentry.
Mr. Arnold—This amounts to a serious annoy-
ance. The defendant is committed for seven days.
The Sergeant—The men on sentry are very much
annoyed by women, and can't get at them.
Mr. Arnold—You should speak to the police.
Inspector Rolls, B division—lt is the soldiers'
own fault ; they encourage women there.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
