VICTORIA.

Don Cesar de Bazan having made the round of
the houses on the Middlesex side of the Thames, has
adventured into Surrey ; and last night witnessed his
first appearance at the Victoria, Mr. Osbaldiston per.
sonating the redoubted Don himself, while Miss
Vincent sustained the no less difficult character of
the Gitana. It would be an oft-repeated and un-
grateful labour to detail the plot of the drama, which,
thanks to its intrinsic qualities, is so well known to
the theatrical world. It is a more pleasing task to
chronicle the excellencies of the artistes. The Don

—the brave, the honourable, but very reckless Don—
was enacted to the very life. The careless adventurer
transformed in one moment, by the action of wounded
honour, into the high-minded and haughty
Grandee, exhibited nothing of the startling
and discordant abruptness which might be
supposed to arise from the sudden change. No.
The true nobility of nature but wanted occcasion to
exhibit itself; and the King, Charles 11. (Mr. Dale),
by his attempt upon the virtue of his subject's wife,
at once aroused the bitter feelings, which had only
before lain dormant. Miss Vincent's acting was
above all praise. In the ballad singer of Madrid, as
in the wife of the fiery Count, she exhibited a delicacy
of sentiment, a subdued energy of purpose, which
proved that she had carefully studied the trying part
assigned her. They were excellently well supported
by the inferior personages. The drama was most
successful, and not a little of that success may be
ascribed to the manner in which it has been got up
by the talented lessee. The costumes are faithfully
copied from that worn by the proud Court of Spain
at the troubled period to which the romance has
reference. The scenery reflected credit on the
artist, and a moonlight view in particular ex-
hibited the finish of a cabinet painting. The
drama was received throughout with every mark
of approbation, and will, we are assured, become a
first favourite with the good folks of Lambeth. Don
Ccesar was succeeded by Coleman's Maniac, in which
Mr. Graham sustained the principal character with
his wonted ability. The evening's amusements were
wound up by the clever farce of That Rascal Jack,
the scapegrace being personated by Mr. Jonn Her-
bert, who sent his audience home in the best of tem-
pers. We most cordially recommend our friends and
all pleasure-seekers to visit the Victoria.

ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT

SOCIETY.

A numerous meeting of the subscribers and sup-
porters of this charitable institution was held yesterday
at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. The
chair was taken shortly after twelve o'clock by Admiral
Cord Radstoek. Amongst those present, we noticed
Capt. Feade, Capt. Dickinson, Lieut. Andrews, Lieut.
Thomas Ledford, Copt. H. Hope, Commander T. G.
Dick, Capt. Beague, &c. &c. The sceretary commenced
by reading a statement of the finances of the society for
the. last year•.
Sir 6corge White was appointed Vice-President, in
the room of Sir John Beresford, deceased.
After the transaction of some further routine business,
the amount of money to be expended in donations to
officers in the navy, their widows, or their orphans, who
were in distressed circumstances, was stated to be about
500/.

A vote of thanks was then passed with acclamation to
the Chairman, who briefly returned thanks, and the meet-
ing separated.

SAVINGS' BANKS.—We are glad to find that the
trustees and managars of Savings' have, wherever
their profits will enable them, resolved to allow deposi-
tors, after 20th next month, the highest rate of interest
allowed by the recent Act of Parliament affecting those
institutions—namely, 3/. Os. 10d. In future, those hav-
ing the management of Savings' Banks will a2t prudently
by excluding improper persons from depositing. It is
clear from the first law that was passed relative to
Savings' Banks, what the object of those institutions
were, for the Act says the aim is to provide for the safe
custody and increase of small savings belonging to the
industrious classes ; and thereby recognising those
classes only. The abuses which have been coratnitted"
upon Savings' Banks ought to be counteracted now.

Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike
road, and are within a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds
Rail way.

In the Immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms.
The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, and
are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent judges to be equal
If not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom.
The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are
FIVE LARGE BOILERS,

constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and
all the machinery (Including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite
for preparing Dye-woods), utensils, and implements, are on the
most modern and improved principles.
Attached to the premises is
ANEWLY-BUILT D WELLI NO -HOUSE,
. .

SURREY.

The popular drama lately produced at the Adelphi
and Haymarket Theatres, of MM. Dumanois and
Dennery, entitled Don Omar de Bazan, was last
night brought out at this public place of entertain-
ment on the Surrey side of the water. The produc-
tion of the piece at an earlier period has been delayed
to the present time in consequence of the engagements
of Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris. It is
unnecessary to enter into the plot of the piece, as it
has already been presented to the public at the
Adelphi and Haymarket Theatres. It will be suf-
ficient to say that it was eminently successful, though
we think a little cautious pruning would do it an
effectual service. The scenery, by Messrs. Brunning
and Turner, from D. Roberts's celebrated views in
Spain, cannot be too highly spoken of; and the music,
which has been arranged by that universal favourite
Stansbury, reflects great credit upon him. Johnson,
Hughes, and Hicks sustained the characters appro-
priated to them with great ability ; the puns
of Lewis, although many of them were far-
fetched, elicited roars of laughter,'and kept the gods
in good temper, and the excellent acting of Miss
Terrey was most deservedly applauded. We must
not forget the performance of Mrs. H. Vining and
Mrs. Honner, as Lazarillo and Maratana ; they sus-
tained their parts with their usual talent, and made
the most of them. The piece was announced for
repetition every evening until further notice, by Mr.
Hughes, amid general plaudits. We understand that
several new pieces are in preparation, and will shortly
be produced, and that engagements have been entered
into, ,y the spirited female lessee, with many eminent
performers. The evening's amusements were con-
cluded by The Eve of Battle, or Woman's Nerve,
and The Crown Prince, or The Buckle of Brilliants,
which, having been performed for some weeks, have
become deservedly favourite pieces.

STATE OF TRADE.

Very few vessels have yet been able to work their
way to port, and the imports of the week are come,
inently very unimportant.
The amount of shipping now due, and, indeed,
known to be in tha immediate vicinity, is probably
greater than at any former period, and the new year
will consequently be entered upon with larger sup-
plios of produce of all sorts ; meanwhile the sufferings
from seven welder of the crews on board ships,
many of which will also have run Short of provisions,
must be very intense.
There has been a large business in cottoa this week,
and prices of all sorts, but more especially the lower
kinds, have improved a shade, whilst the market has
been benefited to a greater extent by the different
feelings prevalent in busy times to such as are mani-
fested when selling, not buying, is the cry. Prices
are low—lower than they were ever known ; but
what is to rise them ? There is a large crop in
prospect, and a large import (probably 150,000
bales) to arrive in the next ten days of westerly
winds. Take the duty off, and the importer and spe-
culat.)r win, no doubt, be benefited ; but let not the
Manchester anti-corn.law advocates neglect the duty
on food for the support of a yepaal of the 41.0 on
cotton. The manufacturing trade is a good one, th 9
unOsqmptiOn asMat as the buildings in existence
will allow, a 0 the progte of the year very, very
large; but just now there is scarcely 'an 4FtiPiPPYing
duty, or a trade under the influence of the Eicise,
which the parties most interested are not attempting
to relieve by Seeking a repeal of duty.
In produce generally there is not much doing, and
it is to be regretted that the Liverpool buyers and
sellers do not act after the example of their London
friends, and reduce their transactions at this (always
a dull) season to the smallest possible extent.
There has been a continuance or animation In the
share market, and large profits have no doubt been
reaped this year ; this has had the effect of nearly
doubling the number of brokers to do the work, and

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

After the play of The Stranger, which was per
formed in a manner certainly de-erving a more atten-
tive audience than was assembled in this theatre on
Thursday, the appropriate and eagerly expected Christ-
toaa fare was served up in the shape of a new grand
Pantomime, under the title of General Tom Thumb, or
harlequin Punch and the Spirits of the Elements. The
author of this production, disdaining the narrow limits
af any one ancient story of nursery reputation, con-
ceived the happy idea of blending into one the elements
of all; and accordingly his audience were favoured
with the company not only of gods and goddesses, of
spirits of fire and spirits of water, but of the genius of
Christmas himself, of " the mighty Thomas Thumb,"
With all the family of the Thumbs and the still
Mightier Punch. Here was a rare medley of fun, and
rarely was it enjoyed. The harlequinade was rich in
dancing, jumps, tricks, and tumbles ; and Mr.
Leman as Harlequin, Miss Maile as Columbine, Mr'
Buck as Clown, and Mr. Johnstone as Pantaloon, ex-
erted themselves most zealously and efficiently in sup-
Port of their respective characters. Neither was there
wanting hits, palpable hits, at passing events, in
Which it will be supposed the parish affairs of St.
Stephen's, Walbrook, were net altogether unnoticed,
and a rapid transformation of scene from the
Mansion-house to the Margate Sea Bathing Infirmary
B"lned to afford very great delight. The Polka mania
was also made the subject of much merriment, and
was excellently burlesqued in a grotesque dance by
r. Buck and Mr. Johnstone. The mysterious rob-
"ry at Rogers' bank did not escape the jest of this
licensed satirist, who deals his blows with vigour and
}impartiality on the vices and follies of all. Altoge-
. tiler the entertainment went off with great spirit, and
IA likely to have a highly successful career. To this
' result the excellence of the scenery, dresses, and de-
corations, will not a little contribute ; one scene, in
Particular, representing the new Houses of Parlia-
ment, as seen from the opposite side of the river, de-
- Serves t... 0 be singled out for especial commendation. A
grand panerami of the scenes rendered famous by the
late fatal war in Affghinistan was exhibited in the
• course of the evening, and was loudly and most justly
applauded.

THE PAN TOIVITMES, ETC.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.
A crowded audience assembled here on Thursday
to assist, as the French would say, at the production
of the new Christmas pantomime, which is entitled
The Fairy Gnomes of the Golden Caves, or Harlequin
444 the Imp of the Giant Mountain, and in the intro-
ductory scenes which we were glad to regognise our
old friend Number Nip, who is to the full as
" spry and active," as Jonathan would say, as
be Wi44 some fifteen years ago, at Govent-garden.
phis is a pantomime of the old school, full of prac-
tical fun, such as can be understood by children, and
the youngsters seemed thoroughly to enjoy it. Har-
lequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Clown, are hard at
Work from the rising to the falling of the curtain, and
knock-down blows and astonishing leaps are the order
Df th,, day. The piece, however, is not deficient in
Witty Allusions to passing events, almost every
" notability," from Peel and O'Connell down to
Gibbs and the Polka, comes in for a hit. The scenery
is very pretty, and the pantomime was completely
Iniccessful. It was pret eded by the play of Pizarro,
during the representation of which an unfortunate
incident occurred, which at first, it was anticipated,
'night prove serious. Rolla (Mr. F. Phillips), with
tl'e child, were passing the bridge in the last act,
When the structure gave way, and they were both
Tiolently precipitated to the ground. Rolla, however,

QUEEN'S THEATRE.
Wat Tyler, or Harlequin and the Lord Mayor of
London, is the title of the pantomime at this theatre,
the scenery of which is very magnificent. The great
rloYalty of this pantomime is the introduction of two
harlequins, two columbines, two pantaloons, and two
elovvns. It is, in fact, a double pantomime, but whe-
ther on that account it will meet with a double por-
tion of success, time alone can decide.

STATE OF TRADE.

Very few vessels have yet been able to work their
way to port, and the imports of the week are conse-
quently very unimportant.
The amount of shipping now due, and, indeed,
known to be in the immediate vicinity, is probably
greater than at any former period, and the new year
will consequently be entered upon with larger sup-
plies of produce of all sorts ; meanwhile the sufferings
from severe weather of the crews on board ships,
many of which will also have run short of provisions,
must be very intense.

There has been a large business in cotton this week,
and prices of all sorts, but more especially the lower
kinds, have improved a shade, whilst the market has
been benefited to a greater extent by the different
feelings prevalent in busy times to such as are mani-
fested when selling, not buying, is the cry. Prices
are low—lower than they were ever known ; but
what is to raise them ? There is a large crop in
prospect, and a large import (probably 150,000
bales) to arrive in the next ten days of westerly
winds. Take the duty off, and the importer and spe-
culator will, no doubt, be benefited ; but let not the
Manchester anti-corn-law advocates neglect the duty
on food for the support of a repeal of the duty on
cotton. The manufacturing trade is a good one, the
consumption as great as the buildings in existence
will allow, and the profits of the year very, very
large ; but just now there is scarcely an article paying
duty, or a trade under the influence of the Excise,
which the parties most interested axe not attempting
to relieve by seeking a repeal of duty.
In produce generally there is not much doing, and
it is to be regretted that the Liverpool buyers and
sellers do not act after the example of their London
friends, and reduce their transact ions at this (always
L a dull) season to the smallest possible extent.

THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—
A portion of these apartments, which had been closed
since the death of her late Royal Highness the Princess
Sophia of Gloucester, is now open to the public by com-
mand of her Majesty. This portion includes the Vau-
dyck Room, the Audience Chamber, the Presence Cham-
ber, the Guard Chamber, St. George's Hall, the Bell
Room, and the Waterloo Gallery. The following state
rooms still remain closed :—The Throne Room, the
small Vestibule, the Rubens' Room, the Council Cham-
ber, the Kings's Closet, the Queen's Closet, and the
Zuccharelli Room. While the Court is at Windsor the
apartments will be closed en Tuesdays and Fridays.
COMMITTAL OF GREEN, TUB RECEIVER OF STOLEN
PILOPERTY.—On Monday last, at the Police-office, John
Green, the notorious receiver of stolen property, whose
apprehension we described in our last publication, was
committed for trial at the March assizes, on two separate
counts. The first count, on the oaths of Mrs. Wilson,
landlady of the Ram Hotel, and Ann Spencer, her ser-
vant, charged the prisoner with stealing a large number
of spoons, a punch-ladle, and a fork, all silver, the pro-
perty of Mr. Lewis Wilson. Inspector Raynor proved
the finding of the property in the prisoner's horse, when
;the latter said they were his own. The second count
ci.arged Green with stealing five silver tea-spoons and
other articles, belonging to Mr. Wadswortk, attorney.
Elizabeth Dawner, servant to the prosecutor, identified
and swore to the propel- n and Superintendent Fisk`.'proved its discovery in the prisoner's house. Mr. Coope,
attorney, appeared on behalf of the prisoner, and asked
the magistrates to order 30t of the money found in his
house to be given up, to provide for his defence. The
Mayor said he would hold s consultation as to the pro-
priety of granting this request.—Nottingham Rcvi w,

Tlla FOG 014 TIIIIRSDAY NIGHT.--:-So dense was the
fog on the south aide of the river, that it was impos-
sible, upon the London and Greenwich Railway, to see
the station lights beyond half the distance (150 yards) at
which the engine-driver is instructed to slacken speed.
In consequence of this, signal-men on foot were stationed
at mid distance, near the Spa-road station, to afford the
nocesiary intimation to the driver, who used his whistle
to indicate to the switchman that the train was approach-
ing. The engines did not travel at much more than half

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. Laurent seems determined to manage this
theatre with spirit during his short season. His
patrons cannot, at all events, complain of lack of
novelty. On the opening night he produced a new
pantomime, last evening we had two first appear-
ances at this theatre, and to-night young Henry
Betty makes his debut in Hamlet. The play last
evening was the Hunchback, with Mr. Rae as Master
Walter, and Mr. Hield as Sir Thomas Clifford. Both
these gentlemen are from the Liverpool Theatre.
Mr. Rae possesses a good voice, and is in person not
unlike Vandenhoff. He is evidently an experienced
actor, and in second-rate parts will be an acquisition
to the theatre. There was nothing very striking
about his delineation of Master Walter, but on the
whole it was a creditable, even performance. Mr.
Hield seemed somewhat nervous. His conception of
the character of Sir Thomas Clifford was good, but
he hardly gave himself fair play. His acting would
have been all the better had it been more energetic.
The scene with Julia in the fourth act, for instance,
was sadly wanting in intensity. There is, however,
great promise about 111 r. Hield, and he may, if he
pleases, become an accomplished actor. Our old
favourite, Mrs. Brougham, appeared as Julia. This
was her first appearance since her return from Ame-
rica, and we are happy to say she appeared in excel.
lent health and spirits, and all the better for her
transatlantic trip. The pantomime concluded the
evening's entertainment, and went off gloriously.
']'here was a very good attendance in the boxes, while
th,- pit and galleries were crowden to excess.

OPINIIINS OF TIE PINGS.

We regard the wolkl;eioreu; "Viie Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical protession, for what reason we are at a lout o know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

UNION--HALL.

John Elston was charged before Mr. Traill with caus-
ing a disturbance in the Queen's Bench prison, and as-
saulting Caldwell, the turnkey.
On the preceding night, when the clock struck nine,
the time for the departure of all strangers, the defendant,
who was there, refused to quit, saying that his wife was
there, and that he would be d—d if ha would stir out of
the place. Remonstrances were of no avail i and whew
the turnkey took the defendant by the arm to eject him
from the prison, he turned upon him, and gave him a
severe blow in the eye, and knocked him down. In the
course of the examination, it was stated that no man
could have acted with greater violence, and four Ellfttl
were employed in taking him to the station-house.
The prisoner pleaded " Christmas time" in his de-
defence, but Mr. Traill fined him 3/.; and in default he
was committed.

Thomas Warnall and Mary Assn Tyler, two young
persons, were charged with being concerned in the
lowing alleged outrage:—
A Mr. Hubbard said that as he and his friend were
walking along Kent-street the preceding night he re-
ceived a severe blow from some person behind. He
turned round and was struck again, ignoc4ed down, 4114
