CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.
The tragedy of Othello was represented here last
evening, for the purpose of introducing a gentleman, his
first appearance on any stage, in the character of the
Moor. If it be his first appearance on any stage, it
certainly is a most promising one. In person he is
rather under the middle size, but very well formed, and
his features are good, and possess great power of ex-
pression. His voice is well modulated, and albeit he
occasionally spoke in too low a tone, that is a defect
which an experience of three nights on the stage will
enable him to remedy. His reading of the part was
beautiful, and his acting was elaborately careful—in some
parts so careful, that he scarcely gave himself fair play.
His acting in the jealousy scene was very fine; and it
would have been first-rate had he not been araid to
give way to his natural impulse, and the conse-
quence was, he underacted rather than overacted
the part ; and this can scarcely be reckoned as a
fault in a young actor, or, if it be, it is,
at all
events, a fault full of promise of future excellencies.
A very little practice will make this gentleman feel quite
at home on the stage, and there is " stuff" enough in
him to make a good actor. Mr. Ryder, as 'ago, was
somewhat coarse, but Mrs. R. Honner was the gentlest
of Desdemonas. The farce of My Wife's Dentist fol-
lowed, in which J. Webster assumed poor Wrench's
character of Dick Hazard, and acted it with much spirit
and gaiety. We could not but admire the esplegle
manner in which Miss M. A. Egan acted the part of
Rhoda, the lady's maid. This young lady bids fair to
become one of the most admirable soubrettes on the
stage. The house was very well attended.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—The Court is
expected to return to the Castle, from the Isle of Wight, on
Saturday. Her Majesty will alight at the Farnborough_
station, and proceed from thence direct to Windsor. His
Royal Highness Prince Albert having promised to honour
the Smithfield Club Cattle Show with a visit, will come
through to town, and return to the Castle the same after-
noon. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will arrive
at Frogmore House to-morrow afternoon, from a visit to her
Majesty the Queen Dowager, at Witley Court. The infant
Prince Alfred was taken out for an airing this morning, on
his Shetland pony, in the Home Park. His Royal Highness
was also taken for a carriage drive this afternoon, attended
by the Dowager Lady Litteltori.
ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.-011 Tuesday the
meeting for December was held at the premises in Seel-street,
and was numerously attended. Several gentlemen were ad-
mitted members by ballot, and others nominated as candi-
dates for admission next month. The name of Lieutenant-
Colonel Sir Walter Scott, son of the Bard of Abbotsford, was
among the latter. The Hon. Secretary read a letter from his
Grace the Duke of Rutland (Resolution schooner yacht), ten-
dering his warmest thanks to the members for the handsome
manner in which they had elected him a member, and hoped
some day to acknowledge the compliment personally. The
committee of stewards for the intended club ball reported to
the meeting that they were unavoidably compelled to post-
pone the ball until the spring, when it would be held as an
opening fete to the yachting season.— Gore's Advertiser.
LINCOLN'S INN.—The old avenue, leading from
Portugal-street into the great square of Lincoln's-inn, has

tained in it, are being converted into chambers.
FRENCH PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.—A new
and will be consecrated by the Bishop of
French Protestant Episcopal Church of the Savov has just

London, on Tuesday, the 23d instant, after which his Lord-
ship will preach a sermon in aid of the funds. The new edi •
fice is situate in Bloomsbury-street, St. Giles's,
and is an
elegant structure. The style of building is that of the 14th
century. It contains accommodation for upwards of 200 per-
sons. Adjoining the church is a school-room, both of which
have been erected at a cost of 2,8001.

preventedth from ereach-
ing beyond the stack which was tired. In consequence of
the alarming appearance of the flames the whole inmates
had left the house to lend assistance in extinguishing the
swelling flames, but found on their return that the house
had been entered and robbed of 401. A diligent search is
making into the affair, which, we have reason to expect, will
soon be unveiled, and the depredators duly punished.—Edin-
burgh Advertiser.
