LYCEUM THEATRE.

" A new and original comedy, in two acts," we quote from
the play bills, entitled Friends at Court, was produced at
this theatre last evening, with complete success, which success
was entirely owing to the admirable acting of Mrs. Keeley, in
the character of Charles de Marillac, the youthful hero of the
play. The scene is laid during the first act in Paris, and
during the second at Versailles, during the reign of Louis
XIV. The young de Marillac, a Gascon of noble family,
has come to Paris to push his fortune. He is fortunate
enough to save Louise de Chernerant (Miss Farebrother)
from the pursuit of the Marquis deLauzan (Mr. A. Wigan), and
falls desperately in love with her himself. Louis XIV. is also
in love with the young lady, and employs the Marquis de
Vardes (Mr. Diddear) to devise means to get her to Court.
De Vardes introduces himself to the young Gascon, offers him
a wife with an immense fortune and a place ar Court, and,
forced by his poverty, De Marillac consents to the union.
Louise is also forced into a marriage by her aunt with an un-
known gentleman. The marriage is to take place at Ver-
sailles, and the two lover; find themselves unexpectedly united.
De Marillac is instantly dispatched on a mission to Brittany,
to separate him from his wife, and leave the coast clear for the
Kir.g ; but De Lauzan is determined to elope with the bride
himself, and has laid his plans accordingly. Both the in-
trigues, however, are defeated by the shrewd woman's wit of
Maria d'Ossuna (Miss Villars), the Maid of Honour to
the Queen, wh,) puts De Marillac on his guard,
and for a moment awakens a spark of genero-
sity in the breast of the sensualist King, who
banishes Lauzan from his Court, and gives De Marillac the
office of superintendent of Gascony, permitting him to take
his wife with him. The dialogue is very mediocre, but the
incidents are good, and follow each other with rapidity, and
the imbroglio is admirably sustained to the end. The piece,
however, would go with more spirit if the long dialogue at the
conclusion, between the King and Maria, were considerably
shortened. Mrs. Keeley was called for at the fall of the
curtain and rapturously applauded. The admirable bur-
lesque of Cinderella followed, and attracted a bumper
house at half-price. Les Danseuses Anglaises have improved
considerably ; they have acquired more aplornbe than they ex-
hibited on their first appearance, and now the announcement
of them in the Bill, " warranted equal to foreign," is not a
mere play-bill puffing assertion.

GROUP QQ.

ASHTON, STALEYIIRIDGE, AND LIVER-
POOL JUNCTION RAILWAY-(ARDWICK
BRANCH).

This Committee met for the first time to-day, at one o'clock,
Mr. Round in the chair, when the Ashton, Staleybridge, and
Liverpool Junction ( Ardwick Branch), was entered into.
Mr. lIILDTAILD opened the case on behalf of the projectors of
this branch line, which is proposed to be taken from a point near
to the terminus of the Leeds and Manchester Railway in Man.
chester, to the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham line
in Ardwick, one mile and a half in length, that connecting together
the latter line and the Ashton and Staleybridge with all the other
lines at present radiating from Manchester. There were no en-
gineering difficulties, and the cost was estimated at 60,000/., on
which, the tables of traffic proposed would show an ampl, return.
There was no opposition to the preamble of the Bill.

Mr. Silrerwood, Mr. Openshaw, engineer, and Mr. Carver, were
examined very briefly in support of the preamble, when me Com-
mittee decided that it was proved.

The clauses of the Bill were then taken into consideration, and
agreed to without any apposition, with the exception of one, ‘vhich was
opposed by Mr. MatiNs, on the part of Mr. Bennett. This clause
is one sought to be introduced by the Corporation of Manch ster,
giving them the right of making a street, eight yards wide, limn
Chancery-lane to Princes-street, close to, and alongside of, the
railway, and upon the land of Mr. John Bennett. The objection to
the clause was, that it was an unjustifiable Interference with the
right of private property, and would interfere with Mr. Bennett
using his property for the erection of mills and warehouses.
Evidence was called in support of the objection, when the
matter was compromised by substituting the word "road " for
" street," and reducing the width from eight to four yards.
The report was then agreed to, and the Committee adjourned.

passage, which connects the shrubberies, in which Is a grotto—a
refreshing and ornamental retreat. It may not be out of place to
remind the reader that all, and infinitely more than has been ren-
dered by this imperfect description, will be within a four hour's re-
move of the great metropolis, and there are several Noblemen's

59,506 tons, whereas it was only 25,600 tons. It was said upon
the other side that the traffic between Bolton and Wigan was in
mineral:, &c., 263,430 on the Bolton and Leigh Railway—that
statement had no existence in fact; the goods did not pass to and
from those towns.

Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS —The foot passage traffic was
between Wigan and Bolton. Bolton contained 90,000, and Wigan
60,000 inhabitants. Mr. Hargrave's lease in canal and railway
would eud with the present year.
Mr. Henry Abrahams, stop gate-keeper on the Let ds and Liver-
pool Canal—The annual traffic was 424,761 tons.
The witness was not cross examined.

Mr. Wahnsley Stanley, engineer to the Lewis and Liverpool
Canal Company—Fourteen miles of this canal ran through a coal-
field, exclusive of 6 miles near Leigh. They had ] I curves for
coal wharfs in Liverpool. It was essential there should be a corn.
munication of this kind for coal traffic.
At the termination of this witness's evidence the Committee ad-
journed to the following day.

`FENCER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE
y LIQUID HAIR DTE.—The thousands of individuals who
have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Nair Dye,
pronounce it to be the only dye extant which will effectually change,
In a few minutes, red or grey hair to a dark brown or black, and it
can be proved incontestibly that it is the safest dye in its use that
ever was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, mous-
taches, &c., are changed without trouble, by simply using a comb
wetted with the liquid ; one application will produce a pleasing and
a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can never be
discovered to have been effected by dye, it being so perfectly natural,
and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will in the least fade
or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore falae
hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own. Also,
thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a
great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of
SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gen-
tleman may dye their hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes
without trouble. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.

space or area of great extent, upon which the four separate corn.
partments, including the Brewery, Storehouses, and everything
essential to conduct it successfully, were erected in a most sub-
stantial and complete manner three years ago. Also a WATER
MILL, with a never-failing supply, the machinery being propelled
by water power, which of itself, it need not be remarked, is of great
value, and suggests
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MANUFACTORY,
for which this district is peculiarly adapted.
THE ORNAMENTAL LAKE OF NEARLY FOUR ACRES
affords abundant means ; it was formerly a Salmon Fishery, and
could be let to great advantage. This is a part of the Freehold,
and its beauty is the subject of never.ending commendation, a
beautiful Cascade forming no small portion of the attraction. The
quality of the water for brewing purposes is excellent, and the con-
cern altogether may be, with great safety, recommended as offering
a most eligible mode of progressing in the world.
THE COTTAGE VILLA
is within sight, it is on a petite scale yet possessing all the attri-
butes essential to comfort, with excellent garden and,
A PADDOCK OF THREE ACRES.
This is leasehold for about 24 years, and the rent only 50 guineas a•
year. It is in perfect order to occupy directly and conveniently
close to conduct the brewery.

THIS ELEGANT VILLA

is placed on a lawn of great beauty, adorned by American plants,
flowering Shrubs, and many stately elms. There is a Very prolific
kitchen garden, excluded from view by management and dexterity.
The views are many and varied—Caen Wood is in direct commu-
nication—Harrow Spire and 'Windsor Castle in the distance'. The
Heath and its refreshing atmosphere close at hand, and although it
can at all times partake of the bustle of the passing scene, it has
a privacy that could not be exceeded one hundred miles from
London ; and yet at a distance of only four miles from town. In
respect of the Villa abode, it possesses all the accommodation= a
family of pretension will aspire to. In the court-yard is every
essential for a large establishment—stabling for six or seven horses.
double coach-house, dairy, and piggery. The neighbourhood is
greatly favoured by the good feeling that exists everywhere.

This line of railway will form the continuation of that from Paris,
Creil, and St. Quentin, to the Belgian frontier, and when completed
will join the Charleroi and Erquilinnes Railway.
In offering this undertaking to the public, it is important to re-
mark that the Belgian Governm• nt ceded to the above-mentioned
Directors, by Royal Ordinance of the 28th May last, the branch line
of railway above referred to, from Charleroi to Erquilinnes (the
French frontier), and consequently this line from St. Quentin to
Maubeuge will give a direct communicaton by railway from the
Seine to the Rhine—from Paris to Boulogne.
These facts are sufficient of themselves to establish the importance
of the St. Quentin and Maubeuge line, which has been carefully sur-
veyed, and offering no engineering difficulty will be promptly exe-
cuted.
Prospectuses will be ready for distribution on Thursday, the 12th
instant • meantime applications for Shares can be addressed to

TO THE SEAT OF ROYALTY

cannot fail to cause its vicinity to be on very many points a great
auxiliary. There are many who will comprehend this allusion,
and know how to estimate the advantages of being within easy
reach, not doubting that good fortune may lend its helping
hand to bring them into a closer alliance with the good things of
this world. The approach to the Villa is by two lodge gates, of
pretty design, though the luxuriant ground and the portico en-
trance hath claims to be admired. The pleasure-grounds are ex.
tensive, varied by plantations and shrubberies, altogether quite
beautiftil, and adorned by

A CONSERVATORY, GRAPERY, AND FRUIT HOUSE;

human ingenuity can desire. The size of the abode will be given
fully in Particulars of Sale—it may now suffice to say it is perfect.
THE OFFICES SEEM TO BE WITHOUT A FAULT.
There is stabling for thirteen horses (a pleasing sound must accom-
pany this statement to one inclined to hunting), two coach.houses
for seven or eight carriages, with all the necessary et ceterms. There
are all the appendages for those who may incline to farm—the
whole estate extends to

never.ending auxiliaries connected with this singularly desirable
investment. In fact, It is believed that for its size, it is in no
dread of rivalry from its near or more distant contemporaries. Mr.
Robins, however, suggests that one in need of such a place
will do well to seek ocular demonstration, and he promises them
they shall not be disappointed. The tithes of the parish are corn.

NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY,
WITH EXTENSIONS.

The Directors have the honour of announcing to the Shareholders
that by the law of the 29th of May last, authorising the grant of this
line of railway to the Company for ninety years, they are not only
empowered to extend a railway from Mons to Manage, but have the
privilege of continuing the line from Namur to Dinant and to the
frontiers of France. The Directors have also made arrangements
for the purchase, from the Concessionaires, on favourable terms, of
the important line of prolongation from Liege to the Dutch frontiers,
by the Valley of the Meuse, In the event of a concession being granted
by the Government of the Netherlands for its extension to the
populous commercial town of Maestricht, for which concession an
authorised agent is now in negotiation with the Dutch Government
at the Hague.

The Directors, in order to comply with the terms imposed by the
Belgian Government, and to take possession of the lands from Namur
to Liege, and from Mons to Manage, and to commence the works,
have made a call of 3Cs. per share, instead of 21. 10s., as stated in
the prospectus, as that amount is sufficient to enable the Directors to
make the required deposit with the Belgian Treasury. A contract
has been entered into with responsible parties for the construction of
this railway, and the works will be immediately begun.

By order,

SOUTH-EASTERN (DOVER,) MINE.

The Committee met at the usual hour, when
Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM (on the part of the North Kent line)
resumed then cross-examination of Mr. Bidders, on the subject of
the levels of the proposed line at Chatham, Rochester, and Stroud, and
also on the subject of the estimates of the South-Eastern Company.

Mr. ALEXANDER said that he would re-examine Mr. Bidders as
to those parts of his evidence which he hail heard, but that
Mr. Merrewether would re-examine the witness on other points.
Mr. Blidders then spoke to the inconvenience which would arise
from a tunnel of half-a-mile in length, and only fifteen feet in
height, such as is contemplated by the North Kent Company.
Such a tunnel could not be properly ventilated, but would be con.
tinually filled with smoke and steam.
