both by night and by day my feelings have wan
dered to this spot" From beginning to emu OF tho
evening the crowded house-in the words OF On en-
thusiastic spectator - rang with tumutuous APP
plause.
As have mentioned the Prince Of Wales In con-
nection with theatrical matters l may add that he
left London for India without seeing Macbeth" or
even the comedietta which precedes IT, which would
not have been too serious for him. and is sparkling
enough to amuse him. though perfectly dccorous'
Some of the Princes friends-sOme OF the more
respectable Of thom-undertoOk 1t Is said, 10 por-
suade him that, considering his known interest IN
the theater he ought to be seen once at the onei
theatrical performance in London. But he would
not CO. Directly after his departure the Princess
went in company with her parents, the King and
Queen of Denmark and her sister. " Macbeth Is

There was a general meeting yesterday OF tho
Emma Silver Mining Company, with the result OF
turning ont the directors and handing over the man
agement of its affairs to Mr. Alexander McDougau'
Who Mr. McDougall Is need not be explained to any
body who has followed the fortunes of this unhappy
corporation. What he means to do now that he has
carried the point he has long been struggling iof
and got possession of the wreck may not be 80 easy
TO say That it is "a wreck, that the mine IL whOily
worked out aud yaueless, and that the only nope
for the defrauded shareholders is to recover some
thing from the vendors. everybody now agrees. The
retiring directors say so explicitly. The Company
has $4,000 in bank. and nothing else -excep,
lawsuit. Park is in possession of the mine. Mr..
McDougal. during the meeting. assured everybody
that the suit against the vendors and promoters was
TO be pre-sed-that both Park and Grant should DE
prosecuted, and many other things be done.
But when he took the chair on bis election
as director, he seemed to have forgotten THESE
pledges. As Chairman no would Pledge himself 10
nothing but called on the shareholders to say what
they would have done. And there was no response.
One complaint against the outgoing directors was
that they had consumed the means OF tho Company
in useless law expenses instead of working the mine
Al the same time It was freely admitted that there
is nothing in the mine to work. 1t would DO too
much to expect anything in connection with Emma
to be done on tho ordinary principles when govern
other human transactions.
Ono item ia the directors report has gloomy
interest for Americans. They assert as one result OF
their Investigations that G III. Schunck the AmeIi-
can Minister to England had received $4,000 10y
way of loan from Mr.. Park TO enable him to purchase
shares. They assert, further. that he secured
written guarantee from Mr.. Park for interest at Is
per cent per annum on the stock so purchased.
These arrangements between Mr. Park. VENDOR
and Gen Schenck "a director and trustee for the
vondees, were unknown, it is alleged. to his col
leagues.
The story about the letter Of Mr.. Gladstone to the
Marquis of Harrington describing himself AZ Il mere
spectator of passing events, is cOntradicted by
Mr. Gladstone himself. lt'ppears that some of his
Greenwich constituents took this z mean that Mr..
Gladstone was about 10 retire from Parliament. One
of them writes to ask if this be true. Mr. Gladstone
replies under date of Now g. saying that the anon
ymous report to which you refer cOntradicted
i'm the newspapers some weeks back by friend OF
mine from letter which had written him, stating
that / had made no declaration or announcement OF
any kind" THIS is good sample of Mr.. Gladstone
Anybody else would fail TO see how such report.
appearing last week could be cOntradicted by let
ter written several weeks previously. But to Mr.
Gladstone il il perfectly cleT. The situation does
not appear to be much changed by the publication
of the report or cf Mr. Gladstonc's denial.
Mr.. B,rnal Osborne is not to be candidate as was
lately hoped. for Md-Surrey. l suppose the pros
poets OF success for Liberal are not very great Al
the last general election this section of the county
returned two Tory members without n contest. Mr..
Osborne makes known bis refusal with a certain
asperity. replying to an inquiry about his reported
