We have already devoted more than the usual space to this book ; we cannot however , ' close without adducing a fact which appears to us to speak volumes as to the condition of the vast majority of the Russian people . It appears that in Russia the amount of sugar consumed per annum equals 2 " 2 lbs . Russian of sugar per head per annum . In Austria it equals 2 ' 8 lbs ; ¦ while in Great Britain it is 24 lbs . Russian . The consumption of coffee in Austria fa rife lbs . per head ; in Russia TVfc lbs . per head . In Austria the consumption of tea is -rrforj lbs . Russian per head ; in Russia - £ fc lbs . These figures are M . Teugobroski ' s . To us who consume at least a pound of tea a * nionth in our proper person they suggest unutterable things .

" Nitocris" At Drury Lane. The Failure A...
" NITOCRIS" AT DRURY LANE . The failure at DacBr Lame , this week , of the expensively got-up and welltrumpeted diorama , Nilocris , and the success , on the same boards , of a slight three-act piece , merely well-acted , are two facts which ought to operate together as a useful lesson to the manager , and to all managers for the time to come . Apparently forgetting his ingenuous acknowledgment of the hisses which greeted the end of the Egyptian piece—forgetting his playful allusion to the bird of Michaelmas—Mr . Smith advertises ; the complete success of that which no one knows better than himself to be a perfect failure . This is an insult to the public judgment , and deserves to be publicly resented . No doubt it will be resented in the most effectual way , by future indifference to Mr . Smith's gasconades , and consequent empty boxes . The Times has given , with accustomed ability and care , an account of the piece and its origin :- — iciu ub aiuuljc ^ ii iiibuvi
UQTUUviWI m uw M ^ mrrjrr \\* ^ -vi / y , ua w * «» u * - * f $ j pvuiu >^ « u u , who was raised to the throne after the murder of the King , her brother , by his subjects . Although she profited by the crime , she was determined to punLsh the criminals , and accordingly she prepared a large subterranean room to which she invited those who were most guiltily implicated under the pretence of giving- a banquet . When the party had assembled at table she admitted the waters of the Nile by a secret canal , and thus drowned the whole of her guests . Fearing that this monstrous act of vengeance might draw down upon her head the wrath of the people , she flung herself into an apartment filled with ashes ( jouerjfta oirobov irXtov ) . Her object j in so doing is variously construed . According to the usual interpretation , she committed suicide ; but Larcber , in a note , states his opinion that she merely plunged I herself into ashes , as an act of humiliation , to excite the commiseration of her subjects . Thus much for Hkxodotus and liis annotators . We now turn from hi 3 Euterpe to the poetical vcraiou of Mr . Fitz . ua . iju , bo materially aided by the historical "properties" of Dtkwtkkin . The Times 6 ays : —
Itttocri * ( Mlas GlymO , sister to Mesphrd ( Mr . Edgar ) , King of EgypVBas Tieeii brought up in seclusion among the Priestesses of Isis , whose temple , with the pyramids m the background , is shown in the first tableau . While thus in retirement she forms an attachment to Tihrak ( Mr . Barry Sulliran ) , a young Ethiopian whose father has been slam by Mesphra , and who now stalks about with his younger brother Kcephed ( Miss Anderton ) , vowing vengeance for the deed . Soon , however , the quiet existence of Nttocrxs comes to a close ; her brother ' s Prime Minister , Amenophis ( Mr . Stuart ) , comes to take her to the Royal Court , and she departs in a royal galley / intended to be one of the " effects " of the piece . ,. - The second tableau brings us to the interior of the palace at Memphis , where we find the Princess indulging in- stolen interviews with her swarthy lover . When the King appears , Tihrak finds it convenient to retire ; but on the threat of Mesphra to slay his sister on her refusal to marry a certain King of Libya , he steps in to the rescue , and recognises in the Egyptian monarch the slayer of lm father . A fresh altercation
ensues , in which Nitocrissaves the life of her brother from the vengeance of Tihrak ; but this only reserves him for the dagger of Kcephed , who very opportunely makes his appearance . Guards come on to apprehend the assassin , bat are forced to content themselves" with paying homage to their new Queen . On the accession of Nitocris to the throne , her first act is to proclaim Tihrak her chosen husband , much to the disgust of Amenophis and the thoroughly Egyptian party , who do not admire an Ethiopian alliance . Like many other disappointed politicians , they conspire , and the result of their conspiracy is a plan to murder Tihrak at a grand banquet , given by the Queen to her Ministers . The feast takes place in the gigantic Grotto of Memnon , which , with its series of grotesque statues , lining the tables , is one of the most remarkable scenes in the play ; and in the course of the entertainment a dance is executed by Mis 3 Rosina Wright and the corps de ballet , in which most of the movements are imitated from the postures of figures found in the Egyptian monuments . It is now time for Tihrak to put into practice a scheme which he has formed for the destruction of the conspirators , with whose projects lie has been made acquainted . Dismissing the Queen , he remains alone in the midst of his enemies , and for some time replies to their menaces of death by words of supplication . At last , when prayers will not avail , he touches a spring , which , causing his throne to open , allows him to vanish through the wall , and then , reappearing on the roof of the apartment , turns the huge key of the Nile and admits the waters . The conspi-__ . ^ __ _ s j . _ . . _ J 1 . ik > n AnM ^ vnrAn . fu » ?« - ¦ ¦»» l- »»* - » r » ' / " <¦ n «*/ yt * s ? 4 ~ hoa 4 " na Tt ? r \ r \ r occi < rnan V * tt xjj tt # i * f uv ^^ M * rv »^ u

The point on which the fate of the drama turned was this very act of TVtrak's . As originally written and even acted at the dress rehearsal on the previous Friday , Nitocris was at least intelligible . But it seems that the manager ' s ideas of spectacular effect are paramount ; and to bring into greater prominence a certain coronation scene and a certain procession , rough work was made with the story . Accurately-modelled Egyptian gods , and other displays of managerial learning , brought about an anti-climax ; and when the curtain fell at ten o ' clock the audience hissed , on the indiscreet complaint of the play being too short . It has since , we believe , been restored to its former limits , but with no very satisfactory effect . We can only record this week the entire success of the comedy , Married fbr Muntry , iix which Mr . Ca ^ Bi . ts Mathbws made his firs t appearance under his new engagement .
