COMMUNICATED.
Mr.. THOMAS.

We observe, with pleasure, announced
for this evenings entertainment, the cele-
brated comedy of" MAN AND WIFE," for
the benefit of Mr.. Thomas. This excellent
play, the production of Samuel James Ar
mold, esq. writer as famed for originality
of wit, as for elegance and chastity of style,
was represented with universal eclal on the
London boards, in 1865, successfully
each night, TO crowded audiences, during
the latter part OF the season.
1t ran through FIVE editions in the space
Of few weeks, and was more respectfully
spoken Of, and more favorably received,
than any piece had been tor many years.
The dialogue is considered highly common
dable for its purity both for meaning aud
style" 1t does rot sparkle with bon mots
it is not grossly familiar-it is easy and
eIegant-frequently energetic, and encir-
cled with just and pleasing imagery-nor is
il devoid of wit, though Ills completely free
from the affectation OF 1.-THE characters
are we'll delineated, and happily contrasted
the plotis conducted with judgment
the situations well inagined-many scenes
highly comic-and Others, though rich in
the pathetic, yet not too much so to lack JUS
tihcation."
The hlterlude presents rich feast to the
lovers OF music, in choice selection OF
songs; and the after piece Of WAYS AND
MEANS" will prove rich desert to the
evenings entertainments

LATEST NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
London, January 26.
II appears. by a Stockholm article in the
German mail ofyesterday, that arraek and
wines are no longer prohibited in the Swe-
dish ports; but that they remain subject to
double duties, so long as existing imposts
continue payable on Swedish produce in
certain foreign countries. The accounts
both from Sweden and Norway exhibit the
uuexampled fact, that down to the begin
ming Of the present month, there has been
neither frost nor snow in these remote aid
hitherto inhospitable regions but that the
primroses blossom, and the goosberry trees
are green under the seth degree OF latitude.
1t is curious enough, that the mildness of
the weather should be lamented as him
drance to the ordinary communications and
necessary business of the winter season;
vet. in Sweden, it seems, that iron ore can
not be conveyed to the FORCES; and in Rus
s;a the usual merchandise hardly finds its
way from the interior of the empire TO the
capiial, owing to the want of snow.
A paragraph from Aix-la-Chapelle al
firms, that important negotiations are at
this moment on foot between the courts OF
Berlin and of the Thuilleries. Couriers,
heavily laden with dispatches, are said to
pass between the French and Prussian Ca
pitfalls twice in every week. No hint Is
thrown out as to the nature of the alleged
negotiations.
The proceedings Of both houses of par
lament last night, in relation to our inter-
nal policy, which is now, indeed, the only
object of consideration, were interesting.
Mr. Tierney had given notice of motion
for Tuesday, the Cd ofFebruary, for an en-
quiry into the state of public credit as con-
nected with the issue of bank paper, the
same day has now been fixed upon by his
adversarles, for an enquiry into the affairs
Of the bank, as introductory to the further
suspension of cash payments.

''aIy lords, before leaving this box, have
paper in my hand, which the jury wish

that there is nothing offensive whatever in
what it states" The foreman then read as
follows. eve, the London jury, being OH
the eve OF terminating our most painful du-
ties, most respectfully wishto represent to
your lordships, that the verdicts which we
have given on the evidence which has been
submitted to us, will, when reported to his
majesry's council, be considered as only the
decision of faIlible men That we are con-
yinced that all sanguinary punishments
have not only tendency TO destroy those
principles of humanity which it is our du~
~ 10 cultivate, but that by their frequent
occurrence they render the heart callous.

fore US. OF youth having picked a gentle

The following address of the grand jury
of Middlesex was presented to the court on
Saturday, January 10th, 1919, at the ses
sions house, Clerkenwell =
The grand jury ofthe county of Middle
sex cannot separate without stating TO the
court, that the painful duty devolring on
them has been rendered more acute by the
bills brought before them on the part OF
the bank of England, against individuals
charged with possessing or uttering forged
notes, purporting TO be the notes oil that es-
Enlistment. The grand jury are aware
that strong prejudice is, abroad against
the bank on ibis subject, and Il is net their
wish TO increase it; it is, however, well
known, that the notes of the bank of Eng
land are much too easily initiated and they
cannot forbear expressing their decided
opinion that such easy imitation might be
prevented, and the frequency OF the crime

into compliance, and threatening them
with death if, after their empty vessel was
restored to them, they went to St. Domin-
go !-.mpon which the William bore up for,
and put into, St. Jago de Cuba.

The teacher having had nearly eight

which none can Ge received.
Those disposed TO engage, may apply al

prefer it may take lessons at home.
