GOUGH-STREET THEATRE.

An amateur performance of considerable merit
came off last night at this very pretty and commo-
dious theatre, and to an old "theatrical observer" it
was a matter of much gratification to witness so re-
markable an example of the improvement which of
late years has taken place in this class of entertain-
ments. Unquestionably the young men of the me-
tropolis in the present day are vastly superior in elo-
cution and dramatic taste to the amateurs of twenty
years ago—thanks, probably, to the elocution classes
and the critical lectures at the wide-spread literary
institutions in every direction. The performers last
night were the Old Western Dramatics, and the benefi-
ciare was Mr. H. Green, their skilful stage-manager.
The tragedy of John Savile was creditably presented,
the hero (Mr. C. Wilson) being much applauded.
But the most agreeable feature of the evening, to an
observer accustomed to private theatricals of the old
school, in which the wish was always to "out-Herod
Herod" in " doing" the burlesque, was the really
careful and moderate manner in which the extrava-
ganza of Bombastes Furioso was enacted. The
General, by Mr. Bellarno, was a racy, and, at the
same time, a finished performance, sufficiently broad
and laughable, but nicely kept within the bounds of
toleration. Mr. J. P. Montague was a capital Fusbos,
exquisitely ludicrous, equal to most burlesque efforts
on the public boards, and quite original. The King
was deserving of equal praise in the hands of Mr.
Percy Melville, who also displayed great talent for
the burlesque in the concluding piece of Guy Fawkes,
in which also Mr. W. Blanche distinguished himself
creditably as Lord Monteagle. The tragedy, as has
been said, went off well ; so did the farce, A Loper by
Proxy. But the performance of the burlesque was
the most decided evidence of vast improvement in
private theatricals.

THEATRE ROYAL, HULL.
La Sas/nen/be/a—that master-piece of I.3ellines—
although it has been so often represented on the Hull
boards, was witnessed by a crowded house on Wed-
nesday evening. Abounding with exciting incident
and fine vocal and scenic illustration, it was well
chosen to bring into notice, not only the operatic
company, but the capabilities of the theatre. Mr.
Harrison ably sustained Elvino. As the plot de-
velops the apparent guilt of Amina (Miss Pyne) his
relinquishing his faithless betrothed was finely de-
picteo ; and such was the enthusiasm following the
duet and chorus, " Such return for love," at the con-
clusion of the second act, that an universal call fur
Elvino and Amina to appear before the curtain en-
sued. The scena, " All is lost now," and that
charming aria, " still so gently" (encored), were
sung by Mr. Harrison with much feeling. Mr. H.
Corsi, as Alesso, again created roars of laughter by his
truthful personation of the part of the rejected
lover; and Mrs. Weiss, as Liza, was all that could
be desired. Of Miss Pyne's acting and singing we
must again speak in terms of commendation. From
the opening of the piece, where in her joyousness she
manifests such an ardent passion for Elvino, to whom
she confides all, to that unhappy discovery menacing
her future prospects, and which appears likely
to blast the happy dreams of her first love,
there was a natural and truthful delineation
of thot,e lofty passions of our nature which
such trying circumstances evoke. The scene in which
she is discarded by Elvino—where her whole powers
of persuasion are exercised for the proving of
her fidelity—was immense. The whole soul ap-
peared to be poured out in the concerted piece " Hear
me swear, then," to convince bis stern and unrelent-
ing nature. Strikingly effective as was the piece
throughout, the finale, " Ah do not mingle," was a
worthy conclusion. While recounting her troubles,
in a state of somnambulism, Miss Pyne charmed the
house by her brilliant warbling (introduced, in part),
which, with its artistic execution, was much ad-
mired. A hearty encore, such as we have seldom
heard, and in which Miss Pyne introduced a change
of variations, concluded one of the best versions
of Sonnambula we have witnessed for some time.
We have only space to add that last night's opera,
The Crown Diamonds, gave not less satisfaction than
the foregoing. The brilliancy and precision with
which Miss Pyne attacks and conquers the most diffi-
cult passages may be approached, but not excelled.
Mr. Harrison is still suffering from relaxed throat.
Each evening the party have been called before the
curtain to receive the tribute of a delighted audience.
The lessee, Mr. Caple, is certainly worthy of exten-
sive patronage for securing such talent, and we feel
convinced that those of our readers who have not yet
witnessed the performances of this party will do so
previously to their leaving Hull. A better opportu-
nity than the benefit of Mr. Harrison and Miss Pyne
this and to-morrow evening—the last nights of their
performance—could not present itself.—Hull Ad-
vertiser.

THE BALLAST-HEAVERS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.
—Last night a public meeting was held in Hawkstone-hall,
Waterloo-road, to adopt measures to remedy the evils aris;.
ing from the middleman system employed in ballasting
ships in the port of London. The chair was taken by Mr.
Thomas Flyn. The meeting was addressed by Mr. J.
Howard, Mr. Green, and several other speakers, who detailed
the evils under which the ballast-heavers laboured, all of
which are ascribed to the middleman system. On the mo-
tion of Mr. Green, it was resolved to adopt a petition to the
Privy Council of the Board of Trade, to introduce a bill into
Parliament to establish an office for the hire of ballast-heavers,
or if that was impracticable to introduce a clause in
the Coal Whippers' Act, bringing the ballast. heavers within
its provisions. A. memorial to the Trinity-house Brethren,
praying them to support the prayer of the petition to the
Board of Trade was also adopted, and it was resolved that
Alderman Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., should be requested
to present the same. The petition was signed by all pre-
sent, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting
separated.

RHUDDLAX ROYAL EISTEDDVOD.—This long-
talked-cf festival commenced yesterday, in the court-yard of
Rhuddlan Castle, which has been specially fitted up far tke
occasion. Lord Mostyn was unanimously chosen president
of the Eisteddved, and in his opening address strongly advo•
cated the maintenance of the Welsh language. The bards
were then called upon, and recited their poetical addresses in
Welsh. The meeting was afterwards addressed in an elo-
quent manner (in English) by John Jones, Esq. (the bard
Talhaiarn). The speaker dwelt upon the historical events
applying to the Welsh nation in a strain of the most fervid
el( quence. The "Very Rev. the Dean of Bangor next ad-
dressed the Eisteddvod, and was loudly applauded. The
Rev. T. T. Edwards then read a special communication.
The successful candidate for the grand prize was then in-
ducted into the bardic chair by two graduated bards. Rhud-
dlan is all life and gaiety.
A vessel from Calcutta has brought fifty hogsheads
of brandy as a portion of her cargo. We have never known
an importation of foreign spirits to this extent before frelit
, the Last Ihthee.

Mr. Collard, the superintendent above alluded to,
stated that in consequence of information received
at Paddington by Mr. Saunders, the secretary, upon
the arrival oC the express train, as to the serious oc-
currence to the guard, he (witness) awaited the arri-
val of the excursion train, and when it came in he took
god care to prevent the egress of the occupants of No.
17 carriage until after he had made the inquiry which
be con,idered necessary. He mentioned what had
occurred at the Farringdon station, when several of
the passengers denied all knwledge of the affair, and
asserted positively that the bottle was not thrown from
their carriage at all. Presently one of the gentlemen
said that it was not thrown maliciously, and directly
afterwards defendant admitted that he threw it at the
request of a gentleman who had passed it to him, but
it was not aimed at any one, and the unfortunate oc-
currence was therefore quite unintentional.
The defendant, on being asked what he had to say,
remarked that to the best of his belief it was not at a
raj: way station that he threw the bottle.
Mr. BROUGHTON—I can't allow you to be at liberty
until I have some information as to the condition cf
the guard; he may for aught I know have by this
time lost his life through the injury he has sus-
tained. I don't for a moment believe that you in-
tended to do the poor fellow any harm, but under the
circumstances I can't let you go without good security
for your re- appearance.
Mr. Collard said that he would proceed at once to
Farringdon-road station and obtain a properly au-
thenticated certificate as to the wounded man's con-
dition.

The defendant was, prior to the closing of the court,

CANTERBURY- SETTLEMENT,
INEW ZEALAND.
A numerous and respectable meeting was held last
evening at the school-room, Lambeth-green, for the
purpose of hearing from the Rev. T. Jackson, Bishop
Designate of Lyttelton, an account of the spiritual
condition of the diocese which is to form the scene of
his future labours, and of the principles and plans of
the association propounding the settlement in New
Zealand. Among those present we observed the
Rev. C. B. Dalton, Rector of Lambeth; the Rev. W.
Curling, Chaplain of St. Saviour'e, Southwark; Rev.
A. Clissold, Minister of Stockwell Chapel; Rev. S.
Statham, Incumbent of St. Peter's, Walworth ;, Rev.
A. Nugee, Rev. J. C. Brown, Rev. W. Bowyer,
Rector of Clapham, &c. The Rev. C. B. Dalton,
having taken the chair, opened the proceedings by
prayer, after which he informed the meeting that the
bishop designate would leave England on Tuesday
next, for New Zealand, and was expected to return
in the course of a year, in order to be consecrated.
The Rtv. T. Jackson, the bishop designate, then ad-
dressed the meeting at great length and in a speech of
considerable power, in the course of which he drew

reviewed in a masterly manner the history of colo
nisation from the earliest period down to the present
time, and observed that in all cases where colonisa-
tion had been successful the best classes of the parent
country had been represented, and that, in any detail of
the kind which England should make, the religious
element was too essential to be omitted. Mr. Jackson
then described the geographical position of the settle-
ment as most favourable to the purposes of coloni-
sation, and spoke in terms of enthusiasm of the natural
advantages of the soil, the general character of the
climate, and the certainty with which every indus-
trious man might provide himself and his family.
The address was listened to with attention, and the
speaker was repeatedly applauded. A collection was
made on behalf of the mission, and the rector an-
nounced his willingness to receive contributions for
the same object during the year.

MONEY MAR xET--The premium on gold at Paris
is 7 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce fur standard gold, gives an ea-
change of 25.34; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.16 per
cc..nt. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice; from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 3/. 17e. 103 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9 i; and the ex-
change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.81,
it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London. The course of exchange at
New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101
par cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally. 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng-
land, and after making allowance for difference of
interest and charges of transport, the present rate
loaves a small profit on the importgion of gold from the
United States.

says, " The manoeuvres of the troops collected here termi-
nated yesterday by a sham fight. The 18th regiment, com-
posed almost exclusively of Voles, was opposed to the 84th,
mostly Prussians and inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces.
The lire having opened between these two corps, at the first
discharge three fell mortally wounded. The 18th had, it
appears, loaded with ball. Orders were at once given to
cease firing, but it was with difficulty that the officers could
g,t the order obeyed. Amongst the three victims is a young
man named Dietz, formerly the editor of an opposition jour-
nal. An investigation has been ordered, but it is not likely
that it will be attended with any result."

How TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH AND UTILITY
OF THE ALMY WHILE DIMINISHING ITS NUMMEII.3.—At the
Seaford Cliff explosion, Government allowed the Sappers and
Miners to excavate and prepare the works. " The men," it
is said, "like the work, and prefer it to being shut up in
barracks and garrisons,"—a good hint to Government what
to do with the waste power of the soldiery in the forwarding
of other great public works that might never otherwise Lk!
