The Canterbury Halt., In The Westminster...
The Canterbury Halt ., in the Westminster-road , is certainly now one of the lions of ¦ London . The first and second acts of Verdi's " Macbeth , " as given here , are , to our thinking , an infinite ^ more recommendable attraction to country visitors than those offered in their much-beloved cellar in Coventgarden . The facile and clever soprano , Miss Russell , has a sweet and powerful voice , which , at present ,
seems proof even against long and successive evenings Avith Verdi . Signor Tivoli , the basso , again , no less than the numerous choir , who deliver the resonant music of the master with great energy and effect , are worthy of more pretentious entertainments , and in the olden days would have been deemed far too good for a sixpenny concert , as this merely is ,, notwithstanding the high class of the entertainment offered by the far-seeing proprietor . The idea of the latter , of bringing grist to his mill by contributing yet more to the intellectual enjoyment of his patrons , by appending to his music hall a numerous and meritorious collection of paintings , has all the charm of novelty , with far more merit , than the " startling novelties " of public places of amusement may , as a general rule , lay claim to .

House' Of Commons. Gloucester City Elect...
HOUSE' OF COMMONS . GLOUCESTER CITY ELECTION . Mr . Edwin .. James moved an address to her Majesty , to cause inquiry to be made into the corrupt practices and bribery which took place at the late Gloucester election . He had carefully read , the evidence , and it appeared that this was not a case in which there had been a few isolated instances of bribery , but that a deep system of organised corruption prevailed at the election in question . Mr . Hadfield considered that no practical benefit resulted from such commissions . Mr . Malins said there had been a number of bluebooks containing evidence in reference to these commissions published , none of which were read by the public . He contended that they should not prosecute the poor and tempted voter , whose necessities induced him to accept a bribe , but the agents who had been guilty of bribery . Sir G . Grey said that this commission would not , in its results , lead only to a prosecution of the poor , but to the punishment of the rich , if it was proved that they had been guilty of bribery . In making this motion the hon , and learned member ( Mr . E . J ^ otnes ) was only acting in conformity with the terms of the Apt of Parliament . Mr . V . Scully said that he would go-higher than the agents , and punisljt those members who had directly , or indirectly , been guilty of bribery . He remembered when it was proposed to a former House that every member should pledge bis honour that- he had not been guilty of bribery and that ho had not paid any unnecessary expenses ; but this proposition was rejected . Until the House determined to act with independence and uprightness in this matter they could not put an end to bribery . The House divided ,, and the numbers wore- — For the motion . * 50 ¦ Against 21 Majority — -38 PONTKPRACT ULM 0 TION . Mr . Walpolb brought up the report of the committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of the sitting member , Mr . QVorend . The hon . and learned member said it would bo desirable , in consequence of various alterations that had been made in the report which would , occupy half an hour in reading , that it should
be printed and the reading postponed until tomorrow . . The motion was agreed to . « £ left sitting . ]
