ber of honest , hungry , and perpetually open mouths . Fop these reasons—it is deplorable they- should be so peculiar in society—plus having been at Eton to school , the genteel world have decreed Mr . Kean a genteel testimonial .

Of Dramatic Novelties Proper There Have ...
Of dramatic novelties proper there have been few during the week . Mr , Kean has revived the " Corsican Brothers . " with all the care and finish of its first adaptation under his direction . His own peculiar style of acting the twin Dei Franchi has long , no doubt , been familiar to our readers . It is now no less refined than it ever was , and a very full house heartily appreciated the exertions of the manager and his able aids , Miss Daly , Miss Heath , Miss Leclercq , and Mr . "Walter Lacy . The latter artist should be especially noticed for his Chateau Henaud . "We cannot here refrain from expressing a hope that the triumphs of Mr . Kean on these boards may be worthily wound up with a last repetition , ( by the English creator of the part ) of " Louis XI . " OLYMPIC THEATRE . The benefit of Mr . W . S . Emden , the respected manager of the Olympic Theatre , is announced to take place on Saturday , the 13 th inst . The dramatic programme of the evening comprises " The Porter ' s Knot , " "Retained for the Defence , " together with other entertainments , which , collectively , cannot fail to ensure an amount , of patronage to Mr . Emden , commensurate with his merit in his responsible capacity . The marriage of Mr . Albert Smith to Miss Mary Keeley , on Monday last , has been welcomed with extreme gratification by a large circle of admirers , and , we believe , we may add , friends . The Chinese exhibition closed , for a season , on Saturday , and our
old entertainer will furbish up during the honeymoon the old characters and scenes that never fail to please his audiences . He scouts the notion of instructing against the grain , and inscribing over his proscenium the old dulce est desipere in loco , means , he tells us , so far to pander to the passions of the million , as to give them always something amusing —sometimes , perchance , something new , but never anything dull , flat , or stale . He has found , by long experience , that attempts at tuition make the entertainer feel foolish , and the entertainees yawn , so he means to steer clear , he tells us in his valedictory address , of all attempts to be grave , and to wash and wear his good old livery of motley as long as there is a rag of it left to hold together . To our mind he is well advised . MADAME TUSSATXD ' S . No sooner does any man or woman obtain celebrity , no matter what position in society , than immediately ah effigy is enshrined in the Pantheon in Baker-street , and the public become intimately acquainted with the personal appearance of the original , A few days since the statue of the Baron Poerio was added to this interesting collection , and now that of the patriotic general , Garibaldi , is to be seen there . This last-mentioned effigy is a remarkably fine specimen of the art of modelling , and is really felicitous in the flesh tints of the complexion , and the outline of features and limbs is full of character and of the animation of actual existence .

House Of Lords. The Treaty Of Peace. Lor...
HOUSE OF LORDS . THE TREATY OF PEACE . Lord Normanby gave notice that on Monday next he should put a question to the noble earl the President of the Council with reference to the terms of peace which were under discussion previous to signing the treaty of Villafranca . The noble lord said it was not his intention on this occasion to provoke discussion , but he trusted when Parliament re-assembled they would be in a position to fully discuss the subject of continental affairs .
Teers Who Should Receive A Retaining Fee...
teers who should receive a retaining fee of G 7 . a-year , from which a deduction was to be made to provide for pensions payable at the age of fifty-five years at the rateof Gd . a day . * The bill was based on that recommendation . In case of war it was proposed to call these into active service , and they should be liable to serve in any part of the world for three years , during which period the Government was to have a claim on their services . It was proposed to render the royal naval service so attractive to . the ' merchant sailors as to induce them to enter , and to regard a dismissal from it as the greatest punishment . —Mr Lindsay said if he was satisfied that the sum proposed to-be voted would effect the object contemplated he Would agree to it cheerfully , but he was of a different opinion . —Sir C . Is apier gave the Admiralty credit for being now sincere iri their desire to adopt
HOUSE OF COMMONS . RESERVE VOLUNTEER FREE SEAMEN DILI ,. On the motion for going into committee on this bill , Lord C . Paget said he took that opportunity of entering into some explanations relative to the bill . It was true they had increased their coast-guard , but it amounted to less than 4 , 000 men . There was also a coast volunteer force , which , however , many persons , and amongst them the commission which inquired iiito the subject last year , greatly doubted , would be found an efficient force in a case of emergency . By the arrangement that existed in France there was always a reserve for the navyj and there was always a body ready for action when required . The Royal Commission recommended that there should be a force of 30 , 000 royal naval
volunnecessary steps with reference to the Royal ISav . y and they were going to work in good' earnest . He considered , . however , that there might be some alterations introduced which would be of great benefit , and which would render the condition of the men in the lloyal Navy more comfortable , and the service more , attractive . The objection to the clause in the bill by which it was provided that at the expiration of ten years the reserve volunteer corps should receive a pension even in time of peace , because it was not equitable to place this force on the same footing as those engaged during war . —Mr .. F . Baring approved f >« nerally of the bill . —Sir J . Eh > uixstone supported the bill . — Mr . C ^ jidwell , explained some of the detnils of the bill , wl'Xt'h he supported . The House went into committee on the bill .
