LYCEUM THEATRE.

As an old provider of pantomime, and a veteran
caterer for holiday folk, Mr. E. T. Smith opened
the portals of the theatre in Wellington-street on
Boxing-night to a full and fully-gratified audience.
The principal piece was of course the pantomime,
Harlequin Hutnpty-Dumpty, or the Old Woman
from Babyland. The transformation scene--
a Gleam of Fairyland —deservedly produced a call
for the artist, who bowed his acknowledgments.
Although some slight slips marred the smooth work-
ing of several scenes, the audience seemed deter-
mined to be pleased, " they knew not why, and
cared not wherefore."

KILMARNOCK ELECTION.

Mr. Chadwick has written with reference to the
election at Kilmarnock, in which he was the defeated
candidate. Referring to a statement which appeared
in the Pall Mall Gazette, he considers it injurious to
Mr. Mill and himself to have it said that he could
not have had a worse voucher than his certificate
from the ex-member for Westminster. He declares
that he did not go to Kilmarnock with any certifi-
cate at all, and proceeds to say that he was well
received throughout, besides having received applica-
tions from two other places in Scotland and one in Eng-
land, to stand for them. All the committees were sur-
prised at the reversal of the promises made, and the
mistake arose in consequence of the elite of the work-
ing men having been taken for representatives
of the entire body. Mr. Chadwick declares that the
opinion of competent judges is that extension of the
suffrage in small boroughs, without the Ballot, will
only increase corruption and the influence of mere
money power. The adoption of the Ballot would, he
considers, effect a complete change in the electoral
action, and reflect the real opinion of the con-
stituencies.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEET 11, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals 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. _

Simultaneously Ministerial changes which
have but just now taken place at Paris and at London
there arises a complication of the Eastern question so
very urgent of its kind as to result in the proposition
for another Conference. The Conservative Govern-
ment of Mr. DISRAELI has scarcely made way for a
Ministry of old Whigs and Advanced Liberals under
OP Premiership of Mr. GLADSTONE—the Impe-
rlal Portfolio of the Foreign Secretary of the
French EMPEROR has scarcely passed from the hands
of Al. de MOIJSTIER into those of M. DE LAVA-
LETTE—when it is suggested by Prussia, with
the acknowledged accord if not at the direct instance
of Russia, that all the Powers, signatories of the

-ME PILEMIEIt AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

The electors of the borough of Greenwich have
twice elected the Premier to represent them in Par-
liament. In return, Mr. Gladstone has given them a
letter and a " nomination " speech. He now writes
another letter. It is very brief, is dated from
Carlton-house-terrace, December 24, and runs as
follows Gentlemen, I again tender to you my
cordial and respectful thanlis for having confided to
me the trust of representing you in Parliament.
Both in the trust itself and in the manner in which
it has been accorded, I hope to find an additional
and powerful incentive to the discharge of my public
duties."

THE COMING PROGRAMME.
Although Parliament does not meet for the
despatch of business until February i G, speculation
is already rife as to the attitude which will be talitn
by the Ministry on some of the most important
questions of the day. The London correspondent of
the Scotsman believes that when Sir Henry Bulwer
brings forward his motion for the Ballot, the
Government will be prepared to meet him by a
ready assent to an inquiry into the subject. Whether
the inquiry shall be by a select committee, or the
House of Commons, or by a royal commission,
remains for future decision. The question of the
, resriatratiou clause of the Reform Act will Probably

be bib-belt forviard by a private memoor ; ana
Government, it is supposed, will, in the first
instance, be content to support any motion
calling for an amendment of the law, reserving
for themselvess full freedom of action as to the
specific legislation. Of course the Irish Church
difficulty is being anxiously discussed by the
Ministry. It is considered that the Premier per-
sonally is rather in favour of giving a voluntary orga-
nisation to the Irish Church, but a majority of the
Liberal party is thought to be in favour of the
reduction of the Irish Church to the position of a
Colonial Church. It is idle, however, to speculate on
the last-mentioned subject. Frequent Cabinet
Councils will have to be held before such a momen-
tous question is settled to the satisfaction of Pro-
testant England, Presbyterian Scotland, and Roman
Catholic Ireland.

The John Bull says that the Premier and the
Marquis of Salisbury have agreed to a plan for
settling the Irish Church difficulty. The property
of the Church is to be put in commission ; the
Irish Church is to have freedom ; but the
question of the disposal of any possible surplus
is to be decided in the future. It is thought
that this plan would please the High Church party,
and at the same time mitigate the hostility of Dis-
senters. The John Bull, however, thinks that such
a measure would have a very small chance of passing
the House of Commons, and suggests that the gossips
are probably discussing Mr. Shaw Lefevre's scheme,
which proposes to give the Church a certain capital
and let her be free.

ADAM AND NAVY DEDUCTIONS.

The United Service Gazette says that " the whole-
sale reduction of the Royal Marine forces is being
ruthlessly carried out." Of the twenty-five companies
forming the Woolwich division, seven are to be
reduced, and this is believed to be merely a step to
the extinction of the division. The Gazette says that
Mr. Gladstone has insisted upon a great reduction
of expenditure, and has left it to the heads of the
different departments to carry out the reduction. The
marines have been fixed upon because they are a poor
seniority corps, without interest, while the ornamental
forces, who have friends in Parliament, the Cabinet,
and the Court, are left untouched. Immediately
after this insinuation the same journal goes on to
mention that the whole of the twenty-five second
battalions of the line are to be abolished, involving
a reduction of at least 20,000 men. Of course our
professional contemporary considers that any reduc-
tion of our " already ridiculously small army would
be a most dangerous experiment."

y AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
ILI EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or kffecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admittea to be the best medicine for immediately re-

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 down 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,

THE DECLINE OF TEE TURF.

" Senex" has addressed another letter to the
editor of the Daily Telegraph, on the present condi-
tion of the Turf. He quotes several figures from the
Book Calendar of the races run in 1868, and finds
cause for apprehension in the fact that there has
been a great increase in the number of two-year-
olds which have started this year, and also in races
run under one mile. " Senex" compares the prin-
cipal racers of the day—Blue Gown and others—with
the winning horses of an earlier date, and asks what
chance the modern competitors would have had
against the Flying Dutchman or Voltigeur. The
overtaxing of the powers of young horses he
considers to be the main cause of the decline which
he finds in the character and stamina of our race-
horses. The decadence of the Turf he holds to be a
matter of regret, and affirms that there never was a
moment when betting was so universal an evil in all
classes. Vigorous measures are required to improve
the position of affairs, and the attention of the Legis-
lature should be called to bear upon an admitted evil.
" SCTICX " should have been a little more precise in
his recommendations. Does he wish Parliament to
prohibit or to regulate betting ? Betting is already
prohibited by law, but it would be far less dangerous
to attack the National Church than to put down the
"ring " at Epsom.

SPAIN.

ate.:.

The manifesto of the Duke of Montpensier brings him
formally before the Spanish nation as a candidate for the
throne. In Spain it is accepted as such, and, besides, it
is not likely that a document of such length and importance
would be published merely to explain the Duke's conduct
with respect to the Cadiz affair. The offer to
fight against the insurgents will not be better cleared up
by declarations in favour of universal suffrage and reli-
gious liberty, satisfactory though these must be to the bulk
of the nation addressed. The Indtpcnclance Beige says the
only candidates now before the country are the Duke of
Montpensier and Espartero. Don Carlos has no chance
except by a civil war, and not much even in that case.
General Cialdini has not visited Madrid upon any political
mission.

The Madrid journals all agree that the harvest has been

very deficient this year, and that themisery in many parts
is extreme.

THE WAR OP 18G6.

Diplomacy, like war, has entered upon a new phase;
what it is gaining in rapidity it loses in secrecy. We are
content to learn some of the combinations of the First
Napoleon from the publication of his correspondence
half a century after it was written ; but the
secret doings of living diplomatists ooze out immediately.
The Hungarians, in whom Prussia has certainly found ne
friend, are very angry with the patronising tone of the
North-German papers, and are retorting by some disagree•
able revelations of the war of 1866. The attempt to stir
up a revolt in Hungary was far more serious than would
appear from the miserable escapade of General Klapka.
There was an understanding between Count Bismarck
and the Hungarian leaders that Austria was to be
destroyed. Everything was ready for a revolutionary
invasion when the peace of Nikolsburg was made.
Bismarck had promised in return for Hungary's
assistance that the old kingdom should be
rebuilt upon Austria's ruins, but he forgot his promise
in face of the menacing attitude of the alarmed
French Emperor. Some days before the conclusion of the
peace preliminaries, Kossuth telegraphed to the Prus'
elan Premier that German unity was possible
only on condition that the House of Hapsburg
was overturned. No answer ' was received to this
message. " Possibly the telegram was lost on the wart
like Count Usedom's despatch," ironically suggest the
Hungarian papers. The Magyars think they were
betrayed, and will have no more dealings with Prussia*
Austria is now the associate and ally of Hungary.

The Gibraltar Chronicle of th 3 18th iust. reports
the presentation, by Lady Airey, of new colours,
on the previous afternoon, on Alameda, to the 28th
Regiment. After the usual preliminaries of bidding
farewell to the old tattered colours of the regiment
by trooping them for the last time had been pet -
formed, Lady Airey handed the new colours to the
regiment, after making a long address on its ser-
vices since 1694, when it was raised. Lieut.-Col.
Daniel returned thanks for the regiment.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Resting on the laurels which have been so de-
servedly gained during the past few months, n°
special novelty was produced at this theatre on
Boxing-night.

STRAND THEATRE.
The immense success of Mr. Brough's ale!
d'ativre of burlesque, " The Field of the Cloth Of
Gold," forbids the management from checking it is
the career of its success. However, the manage'
Event have made some additions, as well as some
improvements in dresses, songs, and parodies.

HOLBORN THEATRE.
The new Christmas entertrinraent produced at
this well-managed theatre was a fairy extravaganzsn
entitled " Turko the Terrible ; or, the Fairy Roses;
and although this is certainly not the first time that
the matter of the burlesque has s2en the light it 3
dramatic form,lthere can be no doubt that the whole
subject has been treated by Mr. William Brougli:
the author of " The Field of the Cloth of GPl'',
now having such a successful run at the Stray('
Theatre, in a manner that gives additional effect t°
its prominent features, and affords at the same time
an opportunity to the clever directress of the 101"
born (Miss Fanny Josephs) of making it the medial°
for so developing the resources of this establishment
as to testify to the fact that it is in every respect
fully equal to the presentation of a piece of tile
kind, in the best possible form.

popular place of entertainment on Boxing-night'

gramme was presented, but that is sufficientil

Lass," strong in domestic and melodramatic inte-
rest, Mr. J. L. Toole's first appearance after sole
months' profitable provincial touring, and a whlui-
sical production in the shape of a fairy spectacle csr
magical burlesque constituted the amuseraelltl4
