EXCURSION TO THE LAKES.—The members of the
Brunswick Club and their friends have secured special
.eArriages for an excursion to the Lakes, to-morrow, at
charges most moderate. The tickets will secure a return
at any time during the three succeeding days. As the
weather looks favourable, there is every probability of
many strangers to the Club availing themselves of this
advantageous opportunity.
THEATRE ROYAL. —The untiring exertions of Mr.
Copeland have procured another high treat to the play-
going and music-loving public, through the engagement
of the ten Hungarian vocalists, who created such a great
sensation during the past season in the principal concerts
and theatres in London ; and it is to be hoped that the
public may reward the manager's attention by a plentiful
attendance. Last night the•Aungarians appeared for the
first time, and we confess that we were highly pleased
with their performance. They are decidedly the best
trained chorus singers we have yet heard, and their voices,
individually, are all of a very superior order. The pieces
performed were a collection of Hungarian songs and Ger-
man melodies, and we can justly recommend a visit, which
will be very gratifying to every lover of music. The
tenor of the company, a M. Hayos, gave a solo, in most
exquisite style. The appearance of the men contributes
in a great degree to the effect they produce. Miss
Kathleen Fitzwilliam makes the remaining part of the
evening pass very agreeably ; and a better treat cannot
.je wished for.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—At the new Sessions-house,
(or Bridewell,) in Liscard, a few days ago, a father and
son, who keep donkies for parties who choose to ride
about the neighbourhood, were brought before the sitting
magistrates by the active constable of the district, Mr.
Newton, on a double charge of cruelty to their animals.
In the first case.it was proved that the boy bad cruelly
beaten a poor jackass, which was found to be sorely galled
under the saddle. In the other case it was proved against
the father that he had beaten another ill-fed donkey with
a stick,'until it was bleeding on four or five parts of its
body. The prisoners were each fined ten shillings and
costs, and strongly reprimanded by the magistrates. It
is worthy of rem trk that the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, established in 1924, (and
now holding offices N 0.12, Pail-mall, London,) have suc-
ceeded in obtaining a new act of parliament of a more
stringent character than the acts previously extant,—to
meet the cruelties so frequently practised to animals, es-
pecially in and about large towes. The new act consoli-
dates the.others, and renders offenders liable to heavier
penalties for abusing, or torturing horses, asses, horned
cattle, or any domestic animal, or for baiting or fighting
in pits or grounds any animal whatever. The penalty in
gross cases is raised from 40s. to £3, with, in default, an
increase of imprisonment from 14 days to 3 months.
There are also a variety of other humane provisions in
behalf of dumb animals, which not only constables but
private individuals rosy enforce by lodging information.
We are glad to say that the Royal Society before alluded
to has sent down one of their constables (Mr. Watson) to
this part of the country, for the special purpose of giving
his aid to the general constabulary and others in putting
a stop to cruelty to animals in this town and neighbour-
hood. We have conversed with this individual, and take
him to be a well-informed man, anxious, without over-
zeal, to do justice in all cases of palpable cruelty to help.
less quadrupeds ; and we trust his mission will be sup-
ported by the public at large, whose feelings arc too fre-
quently harrowed by the conduct of infuriated drivers,
gdo-fighters,'_and others.
