      France. In The Sitting Of The Assembly O...

      FRANCE . In the sitting of the Assembly on the 20 th inst ., tbe debate on the Communal Electoral Dili was resnmed- M . de Larcy proposed , in the name of the committee , an amendment reducing the term of domicile for citizens not born in < he Com « Uue , not having satisfied , therein the law ol recru ' umen } , from three years to two . M . de larochejaquelin moved a still further reduction to ei ghteen months . Tbe latter term was rejected . The term of two years was combated by M . Leon Gaucher , as a concession on the part of the conservative majority , which betokened its abasement , and as a desertion of the law of Mav 31 .

      Several voters called for the expression of the government ' s opinion . But complete silence was observed bv the bench of ministers . The amendment in fa ' vour of two year * was then put to the ¦ vote and carried hy 344 . against 21 S . Mgr . Sibour , the Archbishop of Paris , has visited several associations of workmen in the faubourgs . In the Faubourg St . Antoine he made a speech to about 300 men and their families , which , according to the report in the ' Avenenieat , ' was in these terms : — Christ , my friend ? , bought the people from slaverr ; afterwards society accomplished another revolution , the redemption of serfs ; the work which you are doing at the present moment is the redemption of hired labourers . '

      He afterwards visited an association of chairturners in the Rue Popincourt , and at the conclusion of his address he said to them : — * I have visited other manufactories , and in all of them I have seen one master and many workmen , but here you yourselves are ninety masters . ( These Words were received with loud applause ; and a cry of "Vive la Repubhque" was heard , which the workmen hesitated to repeat . ) Why do you fear to hear frankl y the expression of your political ( aith J That cry has been so much repressed elsewhere , thai you should make it echo here in full liberty . 1 am not a party man , but a man of conciliation . My position makes it my duty to mediate , and as a man I shareyour sympathies . "

      The Assembly has appointed the following committee to report on the bill of the council of state , relative to presidential and ministerial responsibility : —Michel ( de Bourses ) , Pascal Duprat , Cre-. on , Bechard , Creaiieux , Berrycr , Janvier , Mannetj E . Axago , Dufaure , Gombarel de Leyval , Jules de Lasteyrle , Mare Dufraisse , Laboulie , Pradie . The composition of this committee is decidedly hostile to the executive . The bill provides that * be President may be tried for exciting to the violation of the 45 ih article of the Constitution .

      In tbe sitting of the Assembly on Saturday last , after some sixty clauses ot the Communal Electoral Bill had been got through in about three quarters of an hour , a curious incident occurred . An amendment of Gen . Giammont , by which a fine of from five to fifteen francs was to fee imposed upon every elector who should abstain from voting without reasonable cause , was carried by mistake , owing to the sheer inattention of the house to what was going on . U . mn the remark of Gen . Lamoriciere that there bad been a surprise , tbe President , M . Dujiin , proposed to put the question again . This was the siaual for uproar . The Mountain , weary of

      a scene in which they , according to their present tactics , bad resolved to be mere passive spectators , insisted for the mere fun of the thing that General Grammont ' s proposition bad been definitively carried . M . Dupin attempted to read the standing orders , but was so frequently and violently interrupted that he dashed the hook down in despair . He scolded all sides of the house in turn , declared that he was physically worn out , threatened to resign , and at length exclaimed , ' Malheureux pays de France , va ! Vom donnez un beau spectacle ait pays . ' At length a serious division ejiott General Grammont ' s proposition was tslcan , and it was thrown ont by an immense majority .

      On Sunday last the President was to have distributed in the square hail of the Louvre , decorations to the French coutrihutors to the London Exhibition , who have won prizes . The ceremony , however , was put off in consequence of a tremendous row which occurred just at the moment of its commencement . At twelve o ' clock the President appeared , but no applause areeted bis arrival . The place was crammed to suffocation , and it was then rumoured that tbe distribution was ^ to tiiie

      place in a larger room of the Louvre . In the rush to the room a louder tumult than ever ensued . All respect of person ceased . Ambassadors and their jewelled ladies fared no better in the crush than tbe meanest citizen . No consideration for sex appeared to prevail , any more than lor rank . Such a scene of brutal struggle , violent panic , and headlong confusion was scarcely ever before witnessed . It was noticed that Monseigneur Sibour , the Archbishop of Paris , had saved himself from the wreck in a

      corner , where be patiently awaited the issue of the events . Immense efforts were made to thrust back the folds of the great door again , and the crowd at length succeeded in bursting them open . The soldier-s placed at this entrance were swept from their post like chaff before the wind . Iu burst the crowd , and the iramp as of thousands running along the waxed floors was heard while some of those who headed the column slid , by way of defiance to all decorous behaviour , By this time the President had got a good way ahead ; but as soon as the new irruption was perceived , part of his rear-guard

      detached themselves , to make a stand against the onrushing impetuous column , but it was of no use . The uproar continued lo rage most frightfully fcr some time longer , until at last tbe President , who showed throughout the greatest presence of mind , mounting on a table made * jgus that be would speak . By degrees tbe tumult became hushed . He then proceeded to say that in consequence ot the unfortunate confusion which had occurred from the excessive crowd , it was found impracticahle to proceed with the intended ceremony , and that this would therefore bs deferred until the next dav

      This announcement having been made , flaw with telegraphic speed back through the thronging spectators ; and gradually a rearward movement commenced , until the rooms were ultimately cleared . The number of people admitted are estimated by tha tickets received at 10 , 000 . On the following day , therefore the distribution took place . The President , in bis speech , delivered himself of the following remarkable passage ;—' In presence of those remarkable and unexpected results , I repeat how great wonld the French Revolution be were it permitted to attend to its real business and to reform its institutions , in place of being incessantly disturbed on one side by demagogical ideas , and on the other by monarchical hallucinations . ( Thunders of applause . ) Do

      demogogical ideas proclaim a truth ? No ! they everywhere spread error and falsehood . They are preceded by uneasiness and followed by deception , and the resouices employed to repress them are so roach lost from more pressing ameliorations and froai the relief of distress . As to the monarchical hallucinations , witbont producing the same danger , they equally impede all progress and all serious occupations . We struagle instead of advancing . We see men formerly the ardent promoters of the prerogative of royal authority become Conventionalists , in order to disarm the government Sprung from tbe popular suffrages . ( Tumultuous applause . ) We see those who suffered most , and who ought the mast to lament revolutions , provoke a fresh one for the sole object of evading the national will , and to prevent the movement from

      pursuing a peaceful course , which is transforming society . ( Prolonged " Bravns . '" ) A government which is animated by an ardent faith , and which leads the way safely through a space where there is no beaten path , wiil know how to fulfil its mission , having with it the right issuing from the people and the streneth which emanates from God .

      the royalist conspiracy , whom he accuses of wishing to turn themselves into members of a convention . There is a great sameness in the remarks of all the papers on the subject , Tbe ' Debate' abstains from all comment . So does the ' Presse . ' Tbe ' Pays' is rather favourable . Tbe ' Ordre , ' Opinion Politique , '' Union , ' ' Assembles Nation * al « , '' Steele / and ' National / all attack the speech , aod , protesting respectively against the imputations on royalists and socialists , remind Louis Napoleon that there is a beaten track laid down by the constitution , and that if he does not adhere to it , it may be the worse fcr him .

      At the beginning of the sitting on Tuesday tbe Assembly was greatly agitated in consequence of the above speech . When M . Daze proceeded to the tribune it was thought that he was going to make some allusion to the significant phraseology of Louis Napoleon . But be only complained of some alterations which had been made by the Minister of the Interior in his ( M . de Thorigny ' s ) speech of the day before in the proofs of the ' Moaiteur . ' He would not advert to the ' cheers ' which the minister had modestly interpolated at the end of his speech . Tne importance of the alteraiion consisted in the version of the 'Moniteur ' alleging that prosecution had not been instituted because the proofs of the conspiracy were wanting , whereas what M . de Thorigny said was , that if he had thought the plot existed , he would have prosecuted the conspirators .

      The latter statement implied that he did not be . lieve in the existence of a conspiracy . M , Lacrosse , Minister of Public Works , said that the incident was brought forward during the absence of the Minister of the Interior . The president of the Assembly announced that an erratum would appear in the * Moniteur' of Wednesday to restore the original words of the Minister of the Interior . Thus the disavowal of the * Constitutionnel * by the government would he maintained . The erratum has appeared in the ' Moniteur . '

      M . Creton , in interpellating the Minister , relative to the above matter , applied most insulting epithets to the writer of the article in the Constitutionnel . ' lie called Cassagnac ' a miserable pamphleteer , a slanderer , whom he permitted to shield himself under the disdain which he inspired , and to take refuge in the ignominy of his whole past life . ' M . Creton said that he could not fight with such a man . It may be mentioned here that M . Lacrosse , the present Minister of Public Works , still limps somewhat from a wound received in a duel with M . Granier de Cassagnac . On

      Wednesday last he sent M . Penssuelly-Laridonx , a naval gentleman , and friend of M . Veron , and M , Berard , representative , and late secretary Of the As . sembly , to call out M . Creton for the insulting epithets which he had used , but it appears that bis application was in vain , for Cassagnac publishes in the' Constitutionnel' the steps which he bad taken to procure reparation from M . Creton for the gross insult he bad used towards him in the Assembly ; and calls attention to the tyranny of Ihe parliament in obliging men of the press to sign their articles , that they may be outraged with impunity .

      MM . Monet , de Larochf jaquelein , and Victor Lefranc have presented an amendment on tbe Communal Electoral Bill , proposing to reduce to one year the length of residence required for all Frenchmen not born in the commune . MM . Miot , Richardet , Greppo , and Laboulaye , members of the Mountain , have presented a proposition having for its object to replace M . Pradie's proposition on the responsibility of the President of the Republic and his ministers . It runs thus : ' All persons who shall have conspired or abetted a conspiracy tending to a royalist or imperial restoration shall be tried with the least possihle delay before the High Court of Justice . When convicted of the crime of conspiracy , they shall be immediately placed hors la hi . In addition , they shall be condemned to a fine , the minimum and maximum of which shall be the one-half and three-fourths of

      their fortune . Prescription against such punishment shall not be available until after a period 0 twenty-five years , dating from the day on which the crime shall have been committed . The execution of the present law is confided to the patriotism of all Frenchmen . It appears by a letter of the board of the Electoral Union , that in the preparatory ballot for the candidate to represent the Seine , onl y 15 , 000 electors took- part . The board announces that M . Dftvinck , having obtained the majority , becomes tbe definitive candidate of the party of order . But it is said to be doubtful whether he will get the ^ ua ' rter of votes inscribed necessary for his election .

      AUSTRIA . From private Vienna letters we lean that th police measures against parties suspected of agiotage have not been suspended , but were , on the contrary , daily increasing . They certainly began with the brokers , but they have since been extended to persons of other classes and professions , and of both sexes . Bankers , merchants , tradespeople , clerks , manufacturers , railway labourers , literary men , midwives , lawyers , and medical menin fact hardly one of the classes which live by honest industry is unrepresented in the small army of persons expelled . Among them are born subjects of Austria , citizens of Vienna in the full

      possession of the civic rights and privileges ; others have acquired the rights of citizenship by long residence . In most cases the characters of the expelled will hear the strictest scrutiny ; their business bas been carried on in a straightforward , honest manner ; they have paid the heavy taxes imposed by th « despotic government without murmuring , and have suhititled lo the degradation of the infernal system of spying and watching without opposition . Yet these individuals , many of them possessing only tbe means of living in the most humble style , are expelled because the officials of the police choose lo suspect them of improper speculations . Apart from theignorance of tbe most simple economical truths ,

      which almost every child in England knows , which ii displayed in these measures , the monstrous tyranny towards honest individuals is beyoud anything that ha * ever before been perpetrated even by the Austrian government . Already have the necessary economical results of such measures appeared . Silver shows an increased tendency to rise , though the business transacted is of no importance , and corn of all kinds , with potatoes , has risen full four and five per cent . Though the supposed conspirators have been expelled , the object they were accused of endeavouring to attain remains not merely in the same , but actually in a worse position .

      HUNGARY . The Vienna correspondent of the ' Times' writes — 'I am credibly informed that the situation of things in Hungary is most unsatisfactory . The Archduke was well received by the old Conservative party , but the passive resistance system is kept up with a perseverance which is truly astonishing ; and even the subaltern employes appear to take pleasure in frustrating the intentions of their superiors . We veal that the gendarmes render excellent service ; but we bear that life and property were never so insecure as at present . 1 am strongly inclined to believe that the law is so utterl y powerless , that nothing but the fear of " powder and lead " ieepa the lower classes in any kind of order . ' ROME .

      The General of the French army has concentrated at Rome all the garrisons of the neighbourhood , and harangued the troops , declaring that whatever bappens it will always be the duty of the French troops to protect the person of the Pope . A correspondent states , apropos of Louis Napoleoti's allusion to tbe reorganisation of the Roman army , that the papal officers had resolved to receive the ex-kgiouaiies and republican disbanded soldiers as recruits , and were offering thirty dollars per head bounty money . In spite of which enlistment went on very slowly . A dragoon had been arrested for having Mazzinian proclamations in his possession , he was accused by an officer named Evangelist ! , brother of the chancellor who was assassinated in June . One of the head sliirri had been arrested for mal-practices .

      NAPLES . A letter , datel the 14 th inst ., from Naples , decribea several outrages on British subjects , and generally the system of uncivil and aggreisive conduct towards them on the part of the authorities . It is only a short time since that a British passport was refused in Naples , and its owner sent away , because the police ( without any proof , ) thought the traveller was a ' dangerous person . ' Three or / our English

      gentlemen , artists , were travelling , on a late occasion , in the Neapolitan provinces ; they were arrested by the police , marched twenty miles between gendarme * , imprisoned and insulted . Eventually they wtre released , as their passports were perfectly en regie , and themselves perfectly innocent of any offence whatever . Mr . Maudint , an Englishman , it tne director and proprietor of oil works in the Aloruzzi . On a late occasion this gentleman left his vwns for a day or two , and on hia return found the

      windows of his manufactory broken and his people in a great state of alarm . Some gendarmes had endeavoured to break into tbe building for the purpose of abusing the females employed in the works . Mr . Mandint , on learning tbe particulars of the case , applied to the authorities of the place and requested the gendarmes might be arrested . He had scarcely returned home when two of the gendarmes entered and began to abuse him , stating that he was an enemv of the King . He asked , in what way ?

      The man then thrust the royal arms of their uniform at his face , and used tbe most abusive language , which ended by placing handcuffs on Mr . Maudint and marching him off to prison . Here he was insulted and struck , the irons still round his wrists . Two days after he was released , having been informed " that ' there was no ground for his detention . ' Mr . Maudint has applied to his minister at Naples , from whom we hope he wiJl obtain redress Of course , while Englishmen are treated in this way the Neapolitans do not escape .

      Only a few nights ago the house of two brothers , Agrelli , was surrounded and searched , and the inmates taken fiff to prison . No one knows why . Enough that they had beer , denounced as hostile to the government . HANOVER . Some surprise has been excited by the new King being styled George V ., George IV . having been the first of that name who was King of Hanover

      the predecessors being only Electors , A proclamation has been issued , which , after a titular preamble , says : — ' And whereas by the established order of succession the government of the kingdom of Hanover hath passed into our hands , we by these presents inform our subjects and auihorities that we have entered upon tbe functions of government . And further , we promise by these presents , and pledge our royal word to the most sacred observance of the Constitution of the

      country ; and while we confirm our Ministers of State , and all our servants of secular or clerical estates , in their offices , trust , and dignities , we have . that confidence in them , and in all our t \ ubjecis , that they will grant us all due obedience , love , and honour . In return of which , we assure them of our Royal grace and favour , of our protection ,. and desire , with the help of Almighty God , and to the best of our abilities , to promote the welfare of our subjects . We have decreed that this patent , with our hand and seal affixed thereunto , shall be placed into the archive of the General Assembly of estates , and that the same shall be published in the first number of the edition of our laws . George . '

      This document is countersigned by six persons . Notwithstanding his declaration of confidence is the ministry , late advices from Hanover inform u » that they are already dismissed . Later accounts ^ from Hanover inform us that a new cabinet has been formed under the auspices ol Baron Scheele , who undertakes the Presidency of the cabinet and Foreign Affairs , The department of Finance has been offered to M . Bar , who has refused it . All the other posts are filled up . The ' Kolner Zeitung' slates that tbe greatest consternation prevails amoag the public , especially on ac count of Baron Scheele , who bas these many years been an object of fear and suspicion to the Hanoverians .

      UNITED STATES . Advices from New York state that the chief matter of political interest is the rejection by Mr Webster of the terms proposed by Suain for the set :: tlement of the Cuban difficulty , and for a better understanding between the two countries . The proposition was for the American government to invite the Spanish consul to return to New Orleans , to bring him in a national vessel , and to salute the Spanish flac over him , and further to restore the

      value of the property of the consul , and of the Spanish citizens of New Orleans , which was destroyed by the rioters . In case this proposition should he rejected , the minister was instructed to demand his passports and return . Of course , therefore , M . de Calderon de la llarca is in a diplomatic category . The Mississippi had arrived with the Hungarians on hoard . It is stated that Kossuth made a profound impression upon tbe officers ol the ship . They are loud in his praise .

      The military commander of Milan has forbidden the Protestants of that city to meet for the celebration of divine service at the house of Mr . Mylius , a merchant and citizen enjoying universal esteem . Several serious shocks of earthquake have been experienced of late in Albania . The town and castle of Vallona , according to a letter from Zara , Of the 5 th , have been utterly destroyed , and 2 , 000 persons have perished . It is said that Austria has sent a note to the United States government , declaring that it will look with ' concern and regret' upon any special recognition of Kossuth .

      Postage-stamps for tbe prepayment of letters are to be brought into use iu Holland at the beginning of the next year . A note of Lord Palmerston to the Greek government , containing severe reproaches , has produced great sensation at Athens . The Cabinet having differed as to the answer which ought to be returned , a Ministerial crissi has ensued , which was likely to end in the triumph of the Russian party .

      Rose Tamisier , who was lately tried at Carpentras , for having got up the pretended miracle of a bleeding picture in the church of St . Satumin , and having outraged religion hy possessing herself of the consecrated wafers left on the altar , but escaped by the Court declaring itself incompetent , has been tried anesv at Nismes , found guilty , and condemned to six months' imprisonment , 500 f . fine , and the costs .

      A frightful accident happened on the night of the 16 th inst „ at Marseilles , almost within sight of the port . The steamer ' La Ville de Grasse , ' going to Cannes , was run down by ' La Ville de Marseilles / coming from Italy . ' La Ville de Grasse ' had a great many passengers , nearly the whole of whom have perished . Among them was the Russian Count Haag , with his family of seven persons . The captain , an English gentleman ( name unknown ) and a child , were saved . The reason why Mr . Baring was so anxiously looked after by the police while he was in Kume , is stated to have been this;—He presented a letter of credit at 'Porlrmia ' s bank for no less a sum than

      500 , 000 francs ( £ 20 , 000 ) , and also intimated hit intention of taking up the money immediately , which so consternated the managers , that they thought it advisable to warn the police authorities , as fifty-thousand francs mi ght be devoted to very dangerous purposes in a country so ripe for revolution as Rome is . The police deemed it prudent to see where Mr . Baring went with his money , and what persons bs was iu connexion with , and consequently set a sbirri on bis trail . The Queen of S pain has granted a free pardon to the twenty-three British subjects who , having formed part of the expedition of Lopez , ivere taken prisoners in Cuba , aud were sent to Spain to take their trial for the offence which they had committed . They were chitfiy young

      lads-From the 1 st December the postage from France , for every single letter conveyed hy English packet to a port in ihe United States , will be If . 30 c , to be prepaid in Fiance . If conveyed by American packet the postage will be paid to the English porl at the usual rate . The sentinel of the powder magazine at Mans , in the Sarthe , was attacked by six men on then ? ght of the 19 ih and shot through the arm , The Spanish government has appointed two commissioners to conduct the negotiations , together with MM . Baroche and Coutures , relative to a treaty on literary property .

      The * Venice Gazette announces that one Angelo Zambelli , of Venice , has been condemned to two years' hard labour for having spread a report that revolutions had broken out in France and Russia ; that one Robert ! has been condemned to three years' detention in' a fortress for having h £ d revolutionary pamphlets in his possession ; and one Fortunate Bianchi to eight weeks' military imprisonment , for having insulted the gendarmes in the exercise of their functions . General Narvaez has arrived in Madrid , and gave a grand reception on the evening of the 20 ch , and was received at a private audience by the Queen ,

      The editors of the ' Friuli , ' which was published at Udine , have announced to their subscribers that their journal is suspended , by order of the Government , until tbe state of siege shall have ceased .

      - Princess's Theatre. On Saturday Nig Ht...

      - PRINCESS ' S THEATRE . On Saturday nig ht last this favourite place of amusement reopened for a new career as successfull , wo trust , as those which have preceded it under its present mmiaaement . W > are promised « reftktbi » Mby M « wMXe » n and Ivaeley , and we have arent faith in their p ledges . Indeed the manner in which Shakespeare ' s comedy of The Merry Wives of Windsor was placed on Saturday evening before the public would satisfy any one that skill , taste , and liberality had heen all combined to illustrate the production of the greatest dramatist tho world has over produced . IVc had upon this occasion to hail the return of an old favourite , in a

      charact > v in which we have heretofore seen him to great advantage . Mr . Bartley , who baa been induced once more to favour the public with the re-}\ mei \ t . \ UOtt of some of his favourite characters , and who on Saturday ni < jht impersonated the celebra « d knig ht of tho buckbafket , Sir John Falstaff , in suoh a manner as to leave tor the critic nothing to bestow but unequivocal praise . In his two interviews with Ford , under tho assumed name of Brook , his easy style of patronage , - . vrid the mingled egotism , avarice , and humour he displays while making hia base bargain with the jealous husband , was inimitable . Mr . Charles liean s Mr . Ford was , beyond dispute , tho most original and natural performance of the past we have ever

      witnessed . He divested it completely of that tragic solemnity which actors generally assume in the character , and represented Ford as he really is , a sensitively suspicious man , perpetually worrying himself with self-created chimeras . The eagerness with which he presses the purse on Falstafl , and urges him to " use his art of wooing" to win his own wife to his wishes was tho perfect picture of a iaalous husband seeking to be convinced of his partner's infidelity . The whole party was , indeed , a highly finished and thoroughly-studied performance . - With respect to the other characters wo can only say that Sir Hugh Evans was well represented by Mr . Keeley , us was also Slender by Mr . Ilavleyj

      while Dr . Caius could not have been placed in better hands than those of Mr . Wigan . Tite merry wives were , of course , Mrs . C . Kean and Mrs . Keeley , for who else in the present day could so well enact those admirable creations of the b ; ird of Avon . Upon the whole wo must admit that we have never seen the play p laced so well upon the stage , and it reflects the highest credit upon the management ; that wo are enabled to say conscientiously , whether as regards scenery , costume , or actinic , we never experienced greater enjoyment heretofore in witnessing the representation of this exquisite comedy . The house was crowded to the ceiling .

      A new one-act comedy was produced on Monday under the interesting title of Tender Precautions ; or the llomance of Marriage . It ia written with much spirit , and its * construction is calculated to bring into full play tho peculiarities and powers of its chief performers Mr . and Mrs . Keeley , and of course to bring down continuous shouts oflaugbter from the audience . The piece was decidedly successful , and contains much that is amusing and laughable . It is the product of one intimately ac quaiuted with stage tactics , and of one who knows how to make the very most of comparatively slight materials .

      Drury Lake Theatre. Operations On The Mo...

      DRURY LAKE THEATRE . Operations on the most extensive scale are at length entered upon for the opening of this , the last of our national establishments , as it ought to be opened at Christmag . It has been determined by Mr . linnn to re-decorate the theatre in the most costly stylo throughout , and in consequence of the limited time for doing this " , the embellishments tiro now in course of preparation in various parts of the town , with as many hands as can he applied to them . "Within tho theatre all the departments are fully occupied by operatives for the Christmas pantomime , tho report of which is eulogistic in the extreme . Wo do not entertain a question that when Mr . Bonn's plans are fully developed , and an ample di-play of the very first arrtistci he has secured made known , that he will have as brilliant a season as any on record .

      Strand T11eatre. The Versatilities Of Mr...

      STRAND T 11 EATRE . The versatilities of Mr . John Reeve wore displayed on Monday night in a new farce called Counter Attraction , in which a homoeopathic doctor strives to detain a motley group of patients in his bouse by means of a strolling p layer whom h > presses into his service . The actor is Of the Sylvester D , i «™ crwood school , and , seedy and shirtless , emits a thousand playhouse scraps , which provoke Itunjhtcr by their odd and satirical applicability . But Mr . John Reeve hangs on to this old theatrical skeleton a variety of novel effects . He imitates musical instruments , flits round the stage after the manner of tho horseriders at ilstley ' s ,

      dances tho truandaise , and winds up with n grotesque paraphrase of Lablaohe . In these Protean labours he exhibited a good deal of cleverness , but , amid much that was comic as parodies , therowas much that was poor and insipid . The powers of Mr . lteevo as a mimic arc but limited , and such performances as those of Monday night becomes monotonous from the want of contrast and the lack of veal spont . aneousness . The untiring exertions uf tho artist , however , were not unrecognised by the audience . They seemed to bo amused at the whimsicalities they witnessed ; and the bagatelle in which they wore set was loudly applauded at the close .

      STANDARD THEATRE . Tho lady of Lyons still continues to attract a crowded house . The part of Claude Melnottc is taken on successive evenings hy Messrs . Lyon , Howard , and Rnyner . Mrs , llonuor , as Pauline , and Mrs . Hugh Campbell , as Madame Desoh » i « pulles , sustain thoir parts with great ability . The dresses and scenery are in perfect keeping . The conoludinir piece is the equestrian drama of Alazeppa , which is got up in a stylo of splendour seldom seen at the minor houses . Tho stud is beautiful and efficient ; the scenery good ; and the characters well sustained . Mrs . Moreton Rrooks , as Olinska , and Ray nor , as Mazeppa , were much applauded Mr . Oroivther , as Abder Khan , tile Tartar King , was well received .

      Soiio Theatre. An Ontertainment Ofrather...

      SOIIO THEATRE . An ontertainment ofrather a novel character , entitled "Croquis Musicales , " has been produced at this neat little theatre . It consists of a series of dances and songs , illustrative of tho styles and peculiarities of all nations in the instrumental , vocal , and terpsichoroan arts . The vocal portion of the entertainment elicited great applause . Mndlle . Luigi sang tho Spanish song " La Callasa" with greatvivacity , and " Johnny Cope'' was deservedlv encored . Perhaps the greatest vocal novelty consisted in the performance of Herr Ludtvicb , who produces with his voice the peculiar sounds of the Eoliftn harp , or a musical box . The imitation was most perfect and astonishing Tho dances also

      gave great satisfaction , particularly the ' « Minuot do la Cour , " by Los Petites Edouins , and the "Cachucha , " by Madlle . Annotta . Numerous bouquets of flowers thrown on tho stage during the eveniii" testified the approbation of the audience . The Chinese bell-ringers , with whose performance the public is already acquainted , also appeared . We would advise the proprietor to withdraw the "Esquimaux , " such a scene would disgrace a barn , and insult the pigs . The " Croquis Mudcnlos " are hi ghly interesting , and it is to bo regretted that the proprietor did net carry out his desi gn during the World ' s Exhibition , when no doubt he would have reaped an abundant harvest , . We heartily wish him success .
