he called the symbolical teaching of the Church, upon
which he dwelt for some time, in a strain of much elo-
quence and animation, and with frequent allusions of
great poetic beauty and felicity of application.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Before discussing the per-
formances of the last week, which we were unable to
attend, we feel ourselves called upon to advert to one
particular—the inefficient aid rendered by the orchestra to
the leading Danseuses. We Lad heard of this with
regret, and on Thursday night witnessed it during the
few minutes we were able to be present. The excellence
of Madlle. D'Antonie in a Spanish pas de deux, which
reached us by report, induced us to see her in that dance;
and scarcely had it begun when she was required to stop
the orchestra and correct their blundering ! The audience
applauded the lady and hi3sed the musicians. It was a
beautiful dance ; and so well was the haughty look of the
Spanish beauty catched, and the grace of figure, and the
elegance of every action, that we wondered such a dance
had been so seldom in the programme. This week and

the next an excellent opera company are engaged, and
some popular operas are announced. To-night
" Maritana," to-morrow "La Sonnambula," and on
Thursday "The Crown Jewels," will be the opening
pieces. We hope the public will show their appreciation
of such excellent works, and support the management in
his enterprise. After the expiration of the opera engage-
ments we learn from the bills that Miss Glyn will
reappear amongst us. She has won many laurels here,
and is rapidly becoming a great favourite with the people.
Her Manchester engagement has been crowned with
much success.

MR. E. W. THOMAS'S CLASSICAL CHAMBER CON-
CERTS for the season of 1852 will take place in the saloon
of the Philharmonic-hall on the 4th and 18th of this
month, and the 2d and 16th of December.
CONCERT HALL.—SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—
The best compliment we can pay to Mr. Henry Russell
is simply to say, that though we were at the door ten mi-
nutes before the hour, we could not obtain aJmission, and
hundreds were disappointed like ourselves. Money
seemed to be rolling away from the Treasury as rapidly as
it had rolled in. What a pail it must have been, and
every drop a silver cuin !

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE IN AID OF THE ST ANNE'S
DISPENSAF Y.—The members of the Waverley Dramatic
Society gave a performance on Friday evening last at the
Adelphi Theatre, in aid of the above institution. The
pieces were " The Slave," the "Turned Head," and
" Cramond Brig,"—which were acted extremely well, and
much above the usual average of st

formances

Ras evinced by the frequent applause of a high
able and well-filled house.

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA
revelation, in the shape of an advertisement, appeared in
the Leipsic Journal, of the 7th of September, under the
above title. We feel it our duty to give it further publi-
city, since such a discovery may be a boon to humanity, and
the authority appears highly worthy of credit. A Sallon
forester, by name Gastell, now of the venerable age of 82
years, unwilling to take to the grave with him a secret of
much import to mankind, made public in the journal, and
at the date specified, the means which he had used for 50

Years, and wherewith, he affirms, lie has rescued many
fellow-beings and cattle from the fearful death of hydro-
phobia :—Take immediately warm vinegar, or tepid water,
wash the wound clean therewith, and then dry it; pour
then upon the wound a few drops of muriatic acid,
cause mineral acids destroy the poison of the saliva, by*
which rileftns the evil effect of the latter is neutralised.
