DRAMA.  Lest night was revived the drams of " Vietorim, or, PSI Sleep on It," nnginally produced at this theatre some years Son, under the management of Mr. Yates. Viciorine, we believe, is an adaptation, by Mr. Backstone, from a French originaL It depict', through the medium of a dream, the history of a youn r and beautiful woman is bumble life, alio chases a career of splendid vice in preference to anspiag the honourable addresses of as holiest artisan. Deserted by her titled paramour, Victoria. demends into rqualid misery, becomes usmiated with escaped felons, and finally, amend of a robbery of which she is inseam', seeks refuge in suicide, by throwing herself into tbe intent of the Seine. At this point in the drama the mem chows to the humble chamber of Victoria., when she is shown, as is the first act, when, balancing between the two careers open to her, she &teeniest to "sleep on it." Waging from her dream, Victoria. is thankful for the lama which it incieleatee, and joyfully accepts the hand of an honourable lover, although an numble one. Victoe.ise had an eatraordinary run on it. first prodectios, when the Adelphi 'emptily iseluded Mr. and Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Fitswilliam, Mr. Buck stone, J'hs Rave', sad 0. Smith; and although, perhaps, the present est is scarcely so strong as the original, it is nevertheless exceedingly well played, and bids fair to prove a most attractive revival. Mn. Leigh Murray deserves special mention for her very charming performing' of Via brine—a performance which has certainly ashamed her positioa with the Adelphi audience, who testified their appreciation of it by plaudits loud and long. Mies Weolgar, es her companion Elie., presented a mast agreeable compound of arcn vivacity and pathos. Mr. Leigh Murray, as the roué Alessadre, and Mr. Selby, as his sompaatioa ruffian, Ce.ar COMMllkellpf, ware a most picturesque pair of scoundrels, white Mr. Paul Bedford as Mr. Bossism, and Mr.Wrigbt es his men Bluise,did their utmost for the comic portion of the drama. Then is no doubt that Vidorisse, as now plijing at the Adelphi, will prom highly attractive Thom woo saw it oa its original production will go to revive old tecollectixos and anocistione, while all who have nun it iteAld make accaalataan with a piece which is excellent of its glees.

THE LA TB SUICIDE OF A GIRL IN VICTORIA  PARK.  Yesterday Mr. Raker, the coroner, resomed the inquest at the Bosford Arms ravens, 011 Ford-road, Batanalearseo, respecting the death of Victoria Bacon, aged 14 sears, who committed suicide in the ornamental water of Victoria park, through the slipped illtreattneat of her mistress, a Mrs. Clewett, of No. 14, Wellington-street,  Bethnal-green. In addition to the evidence given upon the former occasion, several witnesses deposed to the continuous ill-treatment which the deceased had experienced from her mistress. The Cot id, as the deceased had died from drowning, and the inquiry was only as to the cause of death, it was mien to prolong the investigation. If the deceased bad been ill-treated by any one, she was not justified in drowning herself; she ought to have complained to a magistrate. The cue in law would amount to one of " found dead." _ _ .  The jury, after being locked up for an hoar, returned the following verdict :—. That the deceased, Victoria BMW, was found dead in the ornamental water of Victoris•park, but how or by what means she c.me by her death there is no evidence to show. The jury, however, cannot separate without ezprasiog their strong disapprobation at the manner in which the deceased was treated by her mistress (Mrs. Clewett) ; and that the protracted ill•usage she experienced in her service deserves severe censure."  THE ROCHDALE MunnEn.—A second prisoner has been made on suspicion of committing the recent murder at Rochdale, bat Christopher Martin, the person first appro. bonded, ie still in custody. The second prisoner is Jonathan Heywood, a boiler maker, who had been living with the deceased at Manchester. He was taken at a secluded little village called Coupe, only a few miles from Rochdale, where he had been making hay. He bad previously bad • job at haymaking on • farm at Whitworth. The only circumstances of • ►uspicious character at present against him I are, that he was from home all the night of the murder, and returned soon after the murderer is known to have left the public-house ; that he left Rochdale the same morning we go end wilt haymaking. end obtained employment at Whitworth in the name of James Meadoweroft, leaving his employ on the Thursday following, after hearing an Mailman read as aeco•nt of the murder from • newspaper; end that he lift Whitworth without drawing tie last day', wages.

SUICIDE AT LONG SUTTON.  Oa Thursday, an inquest was held before Mr. Edwards, the coroner for Lincolnshire. on the body of Mr. Y b, partner of Mr. George Parsons, surgeon, of Long Sutton. Deceased had for some time been acting as Mr. Person's assistant, but, in crnsequence of the severe Indiaposition of that gentleman, terms of partnership were agreed upon between them, and a final mating between the representatives of Mr. Parsons and Mr. Yarrath took place on Taiesday evening last. Oo Wednesday morning, the intelligence sprcad that late on Teeeday night, in the presence of some of the family, Mr. Yarrath swallowed tirade acid, and died instantly. It appeared from the eeldente of Mr. Parsons' brother and other witnesste, that the deceased returned to the hones on Tueedey night about half-past It o'clock, in a state of intoxication. 'll2O manservant wanted to undo his boots, but deceased said, " No, mind; if I cannot have the one I love, I shall be dead in less than twenty-four hours." The servant advised him to go to bed, but he answered " No, never alive," and went into the yard. The servant then went and alarmed Mr. John Parsons, who on coming down found deceased seated in tie parlour. On his entering the room, deceased said, " I want to see Georgie " (his partner's daughter). Mr. Parsons said she had gone to bed Deceased replied, " I must see her." All of a sudden he started op, took& glass from the chimney-piece, and said, " Here goes !" lie drank the contents, dashed the glass on the ground, and exclaimed, " I'm a dead man ; that's prussic acid. Give my love to Georgie, and my respects to my mother." He greened heavily, became inseusible,and died in about ten or twe've minutes. Mr. Ewen, surgeon, was sent fur, but before his arrival deceased wes no m,re. The 'widens, did not throw mach light on the cause of his excitement. The Rev. John Allen, one of the executors named in Mr. Parsons' will, said he bad some convenation with deceased at about ten o'clock on Tuesday respecting Mr. Parsons' professional affairs and deceased's engagement with Miss Parsons, but he should have thought any feelings caused by the interview would have been pleasurable.— Mr. Wro .t deposed that he was in company with deceased on Tuesday evening in the bar at the Bull inn. Deceased's manner was peculiar, and his talk incoherent. He said there was some person he should rave no objection to meet with a brace of pistols ; his excitement was not apparently the effect of drink. After further evidence the coroner summed up with great are, and the jury returned a verdict, " That tho deceased destroyed himself by swallowing prussic acid, being at the time in great mental excitement ; but as to the rentet• or immediate cause of such mental excitement, there is not aufff.ient evidence to enable the said jurors to determine er ascertain."
