Belgian, from Liverpool via Londonderry

The London Times compliments Lord
Stanley on his speech at the cable banquet
in Liverpool which was, 1t says, designed to
satisfy the United States that our relations
with that country are safe in his hands.
The Times suggests that his lordship
should take in hand the difference relating
to the Alabama claims, which, intractable as
they may seem, it is persuaded can be set at
rest, il the necessary temper and judgment
be brought to bear upon them.
The Times further suggests that England
should offer to submit her neutrality laws,
together with those Of the United States, to
revision by mixed Commission; also, that
the time has come when concession respect
ing the Alabama claims is no longer open TO
misconstructon, and would be accepted by
the United States as a spontaneous act Of
good will.

NATIONAL THEArRE.-Consderin the very
unpropitious weather Of last week. the en-
gagement Of yEsrvALr at this theatre, which
was brought to q close on Saturday evening,
was. highly successful. The management
wisely decided, in order to give fitting ter
mnation to the engagement, to present this
distinguished lyric artistic in JOHN. BRouoH-
ANS BEL Demonio." The piece was pre-
sented with appropriate scenery and most
excellent cast, VEsrvALI essaying the role Of
Angelo"
This evening there will be no dramatic
performance, owing to the theatre having
been rented to the National Gift Concert.
We perceive the management have effected
an engagement with that consummate artistic,
Miss JEAN MARIE DAVENPORT, Mrs. General
LASDER,) who will make her appearance to-
morrow evening, appearing in the celebrated
tragic play, entitled "Adrienne, the Actress" "
Miss DAVENPORT has just concluded very
Successful engagement at the Winter Gar
den, New York. In fact, so great was her
success that she was unable to appear in any
other part, the crowded state of the houses
not admitting of q change of bill. Regard
ing her rendition Of the part Of Adrienne,
we quote from an exchange: Miss DAvES-
PORT is an artistic whom, in these days Of SEN
sational, blood and thunder acting, it is pos
tive treat to behold. She never played bet
ter than at the present time. We have seen
her in other days, and in her best characters,
and speak advisedly. The play produced on
the opening night, 'Adrienne, the Actress,
continues on the bills throughout the week
1t was well produced, both as regards the
scenery and the cast, and attracted fine houses.
miss DAvESPoRT's 'Adrienne' has long
been considered one Of her best characters.
The role is an attractive one; both RACHEL.
and RIsroRI have achieved fame in it. The
character is admirably developed by Miss
DAVENPORT, who infuses depth Of feeling and
pathos into it, that render her Identification
complete. In the delineation Of the more
tender emotions she was very successful for
instance, her scene in the first act, and her
second interview with De SAKE. Miss DA.
vESroRr's delineation Of insanity in the last
act was remarkable fine piece Of acting.
The lady is one Of our most charming read.
ers, and her performance was replete with
elocutionary gems.
We would here remark that the engage
ment of Miss DAVENPORT at the National is
Is not by any means lengthy one, and hence
our suggestion that seats should be secured
| at once.
