DRURINLANE THEATRE.—The second representa-
tion of Maritana was honoured by an overflowing and
fashionable audience, who testified their approval of this
charming production by the most enthusiastic applause
throughout its entire performance. It is upon such an artist
as Mr. Wallace that criticism may safely exercise its power
without injury to a reputation already firmly established.
He can afford to have his talent analysed for the benefit of
less- gifted labourers in the same vineyard.
Mr. Danson, the eminent scenic artist, has just
returned from a six months' pedestrian tour on the Continent,
during which time he has visited all the most remarkable
places on the Rhine; also, Milan, Naples,• Genoa, &c., re-
turning through France. From the advantages which such
a tour on foot affords to the artist, we may expect some most
interesting results. We understand the principal object of
his visit was to complete his sketches for the scenic repre-
sentation next season at the Royal Surrey Zoological
Gardens, which report says is likely to be on a most ex-
tended scale.
SUNDERLAND.—On Monday last, at a very large
meeting of the Town Council of Sunderland, Robert Brown,
Esq., solicitor—in politics a Liberal, who supported Colonel
Thompson against Mr. Hudson in the late contest for the
Parliamentary representation of the borough, and in reli-
gious-creed a member of the Wesleyan Methodists' Society,
in which he is also an eloquent local minister—was unani-
mously elected Mayor, on the motion of Andrew White, Esq.,
late M.P. for Sunderland, seconded by Anthony John Moore,
Esq.—Leeds Mercury.
TITHES IN FISH—We learn from the Suffolk News
that at the Petty Sessions held at Lowestoft on the 12th inst.,
before Edward Leathes, Esq., and the Rev. E. M. Love, a
fish-merchant of the name of John Roberts was summoned
by the Rev. F. Cunningham, the vicar, for having refused or
neglected to pay tithe for his fish. The information set forth
that he had subtracted certain tithe of fish, payable in respect
of his fishing-boat, and had neglected to pay the offerings
and oblations to the vicar, according to the custom of the
place. The legal adviser of the defendant took a technical
objection, which was held fatal, so that the information fell
to the ground; and if the vicar wishes to persevere in his
claim, he must exhibit fresh informations.
