      New Novels. Tallangetla, The Squatter's ...

      in fact , bis book is a picture of England , of the New World , and of the Low Countries in the days when the most gallant of men fougbt the most gallant of battles against the worst of tyrannies . As a memorial of puritan and ptlgrim herois * m , and an illustration of history and manners , Mr . Sear s volume is well conceived and executed . _ _ . Sir Colin . Cut-Up and Co . ; or , As it is Now-a-days . By Teaddy . ( U ard and Lock)—The object of Teaddy is to show up the wholesale houses by whom milliners and dressmakers are oppressed . As this is a very excellent obiect , and as the dressmakers and milliners are in want of all the championship they can obtain , we are glad to find real social grievances assailed by those who have the necessary knowledge and the courage to make use OI ltl » . _ _ . _ r » * . « r ^ X TT - ht and is

      Oranqe Blossoms . Edited by T . S . Arthur . ( Knig Son . ) --Here a collection of stories dedicated to young ladies with orange wreaths upon their heads , in white robes and glimmer of pearl .

      W The Jerrold Performances. Mr. Wilkie C...

      w THE JERROLD PERFORMANCES . Mr . Wilkie Collins ' s refined rf poetical drama of The Frozen Deep—a drama as remarkable for the purity of its tone as for its power over the laughter , the tears , and the interest of the audiehce--was acted last Saturday , for the first time before the general public , at the Gallery oe Illustration , Regentstreet , where Mr . Dickens and his company of amateurs repeated , 'in remembrance of the late Douglas Jerrold , ' the performances which gave

      so much delight to a large circle of friends last winter at Tavistock House . In the Leader of January 10 th , we entered fully into the character of this play , and into the consummate manner in which it was acted ; and , as the performers are still the same , with but two exceptions , we may at present confine our observations to a small space . In lieu of Mrs . Wills in the part of the old Scotch nurse , we now have a Mrs . Francis , who continues the charm of the former lady ' s acting ; and , instead of the bluff , salt-sea manliness of Mr . Edward Hogarth , in tlie part of Bateson , one of the Sea Mews people , the equally broad and sailor-liko bearing of Mr . Shirlby Brooks is substituted . The Prologue , moreover , is now read by Mr . Dickens ( its author ) , instead of by Mr . Forster . The performance was most successful , and gave the audience a new flavour in theatricals , the acting of all concerned—but more especially of Mr . Dickeks and the young ladies—being of a nature not commonly seen . The drama , followed by a farce , will be repeated to-night and next Saturday , with the same benevolent view . We append the cast : —

Rose Ebsworth • Miss Kate . LucyCrayford ..,. Miss Hogarth . Clara Burnham . . . . ¦ . • Miss Mary . Nurse Esther ..... Mrs . Francis . Maid .. . - MissMarley . The deceased wit ' s brilliant dramas of The Housekeeper and The Prisoner of War were brilliantly performed on Wednesday at the Haymarket by a company combining many of the best London actors , and were heartily enjoyed . Previous to the second play , Mr . Phelps spoke the following effective Prologue , written by Mr . Samuel Lucas : — Welcome in Jerrold ' s name ! From Jerrold s tomb This greeting chases half the gathering gloom , And turns our sorrow for his mortal part To joy and pride in his immortal art . If of this art , enduring at its prime , We gather salvage from the wrecks of time , You , mindful of tb . 2 storms and struggles past , Receive and welcome it to shore at last-True to yourselves , and to each other true , In honouring one who greatly honoured you , Behind this curtain you can greet at will His genius living and triumphant still . There waits the actor—there the scene is set , And there the author ' s thought is pregnant yet ;•—There the light offspring , of his fancy sprung , Betray their parent by their English tongue , Ref lect his native humour in their part , Or draw their pathos from his manly heart * As ' twas of old , in England ' s classic age , His own creations amply fill our stage . Theirs is the savour and the zest we crave , Surgi ng and sparkling like a Channel wave , With salt that had been Attic , but the Hine Steep'd them in English and a stronger brine . Forgetful of their state , here kings may sit , Subjects themselves to his imperial wit—Wit that flows on regardless—free as air , Like the rough waters around Canute's chair . You humbler men who come to see the play , And cheer the playwright , carry this away : —r-The man was still more worthy of regard , And—though he smote the Philistines so hard—He fought a fair , a brave , and generous fight , And struck in honour ' name for ruth and right : ¦ —Hopeless of cross or riband—taking heed Less for his fortunes than the common need—So , for his guerdon and the common cause , Bo you now crown him with your just applause .

      The Indian Insurrection.—A Correspondent...

      The Indian Insurrection . —A correspondent of the Times , in commenting on the recent news from India , attributes much of the disorganisation now existing there to the vicious system of centralization which attends to the most trivial matters when it should l > e occupied by subjects of a serious nature . He relates a case in point : — "When Sir Frederick Adam was Governor of Madras , I once asked a member of Council , on his return from the Council Chamber , if much business of importance had been transacted that day . ' No , ' said he , 4 Adam has been swearing fearfully . ' ' Why V * Because , as usual , our time has been taken up in considering the propriety of adding one more sweeper to the strength of a certain hospital , and after all we have been obliged to refer the question of his pay—viz ., three and a half rupees per mensem , for the approbation of the Supreme Government . Moreover , we have received , as wo often do , a most insolent letter from one of the Calcutta secretaries , which drove Adam frantic' "

      —^~—¦—London , Friday Evening , July 17 , 1857 . The Indian news , which was looked for on Saturday laat . had been anticipated by somo of tho great operators , and tho funds fell i , per cent ., and tho tendency lias boon downwards ever siuco . Tho ' Bulb' are seriously alarmed about tho possible news by tho next Indian Mail , and aro closing their accounts . This will give tho market ) a sounder basis to go upon . Tho Bank liaa reduced the rate of interest to 54 per cent ., and , although in demand , money is easier . The report , vaguo and niisurd , of a new 11 vo millions loan for India , haw helped tha confusion , avid tho fluctuations in Consols have been something considerable . The operation in ordinary times of tho JUank lowering its rate of discount would have improved tho market , but now , so dangerous is tho Bull account from its inngiiitudo , that operators rush in to sell . In foreign railway shares , Indians and Canadians , tho depression has been greater than in our homo lines . Miscellaneous aharcs nro much neglected , and Mines , particularly ( British , have been nmuli dealt in . Tho Turkish Bis nor Oont . stook hat ) boon subjected to violent lluctuations , having marked 03 J and DO ) .
