Theatrical Notes. A New Comedy Was Succe...
( Miss Swanookoogh ) , to whom , however , Mrs . Leveson takes exception , and : resolves so to manage matters as to cause her son to transfer his affections to his cousin , Flora Mackenzie ( Miss Wxndham ) . She carries her design into execution in this manner : —Affecting to sanction the match between Frank and Edith , she makes a stipulation that the lovers shall pass a considerable time together at a residence of hers in Korthumberland . Nothing could be moro delightful to them in prospect ; nothing is more dreadful than the thing in its reality . For the gentle pair , after a brief season of billing and cooing , become intolerable bores to one another . Weariness sits more and more heavily upon them day by day , till at length they are ready to quarrel for sheer want of excitement . At this point , Flora Mackenzie is brought on the scene , and makes a
speedy conquest of Frank , while a gentleman ( who does not appear personally } opportunely presents himself as a second lover for Edith Belfort . Matters are thus brought to a termination which , is satisfactory to all parties , tut more especially to Mrs . Leveson . Besides this main course of events , there is a slight underplot , in which Mr . Addison—an actor who 5 s rapidly rising in his pro . fession—gives an admirable portrait of a deaf old family butler . The piece in deed , is well acted throughout . Mrs . Stirling exhibits all her accustomed heartiness and accomplished ease ; Mr . George Vining performs the part of the son with care and effectiveness ; and the two young ladies find graceful and fascinating representatives in Miss Swanborough and Miss Wvndham . The drama , which bears the title of Leading Strings , is the production of Mr . A . £ Troughton . ' _ ^^^^^

Funeral Of Earl. Fitzhiardinge.—The Morn...
Funeral of Earl . Fitzhiardinge . —The Morning Post is full of sorrowing details of the funeral of the * lamented nobleman who once made Berkeley Castle famous . Mr . Jenkins records that ' the occasion was observed with great solemnity , ' all the houses in the vicinity being closed . Owing to the express wish of the late nobleman , the funeral was conducted with less heraldic pomp than has been usual in the family—which is nothing more than what we always hear on these occasions . Yet the body lay in ' a sort of semi-state in the great hall , ' and the coffin , which was made of British oak , grown on the estate , was " covered with rich Genoa crimson velvet , the nails , breastplate , and furniture being of silver-gilt On the . breastplate was engraved the coronet and armorial bearings , and the following inscription : —* William Fitzhardinge Earl Fitzhardinge , of Berkeley Castle , in the county of Gloucester , claiming as of right to be Earl of Berkeley by descent , and Baron de Berkeley by tenure . Born Dec . 26 . 1786 . Died Oct . 10 , 1857 . ' The coffin wa 3 borne from Berkeley Castle to the church , without pall or covering , upon a funeralcar drawu by his Lordship ' s favourite four greys . The car was hung with black cloth , and had the family arms emblazoned on both sides , and the horses were plumed with black feathers , and had hangings of black velvet with the arms in colours . The car was driven by the Earl's favourite . coachman , the horses being led by the chief huntsman , the stud groom , and two of the hunt whips . The cortege , was attended by upwards of a hundred of the tenantry attired in deep mourning , by the Rev . Dr . Moreton Brown , of Cheltenham , who had been the Eari's spiritual counsellor in his last illness , by his Lordship ' s medical attendants , his three stewards , and numerous domestics . " Thus Jenkins ; but , to our plebeian gaze , the ceremony seems somewhat stately and patrician , though we are enjoined to think the contrary . The absence of Mr . Grantley Berkeley was much remarked . He arrived at the castle on the night previous to the funeral , which took place last Saturday , and his name and place were printed on the undertaker ' s programme ; but , about an hour before the procession left the castle , Mr . Grantley Berkeley suddenly quitted it , and left the neighbourhood by theMidland Railway . Lord Ellenborough ox India .. —An address to the members of the "VVinchcomb Agricultural Association has been published by Lord Ellenborough urging the country gentlemen and farmers to do their utmost to obtain recruits to keep up our rniltary establishments . The Earl sa \ -a : — " Be assured that the military institution ;
of this country , managed as they are now , are insufficient permanently to supply the number of men required to reconquer what we have lost , and to hold our empire hereafter in security . It is only through a change in those institutions , which no minister would willingly propose , or through a great practical improvement in " the working of them , which your co-operation may supply , that the necessary force can be maintained .

— ^ * ^^ ^^ 1 UIU SuLlSUUU LUUL IIIC principle U [ u is now founded , that of voluntary enlistment is the one most acceptable to the people ; and I fee . 1 assured that a militia maintained at its full complement , as it may be , and can only be by the patriotic exertions of country gentlemen and farmers , is the best foundation of our military system . Employ in the obtaining of recruits for the militia but half the zeal you would display in getting votes at an election , and you will certainly succeed . 1 ask vou onlv to do what I know you can do ,
and what I feel you ought to do , for the assistance of the country in thia critical juncture of our affairs . It is impossible to over-estimate its importance . There is nothing man holds dear for which we have not now to fight . If we should not bear ourselves manfully in the contest thus forced upon us—if we should not succeed m it—we must be content , not only to lose the noblest empire in the world , but to make the name of Englishmen a byword of shame among nations . Do you . suppose that , if we could submit to this in India , wo should not be threatened with it in England P Do you imagine that the great military powers of Europe , which
are always prepared for war , which are offended by our pride and resentful of our former victories , and which covet our present wealth , would long permit uh to enjoy In r . j-. n nn + llrt 1 II V lirlAO Wf * # » 1 111 fT + rf"k 41 Yl fl fl ) A ft 1 * AI 1 f * 1 « t \
irresistible strength , in which wo foolishly indulge ? He assured that if , under the strongest necessity ever imposed upon a pco [) lo , we do not rise as one man to vindicate out national honour and to re-estublish our Indian empire , the horrors we read of with shuddering as perpetrated at Mccrut and at Delhi will not for over bo averted from our island home . "
Australia . —The political news from Australia still further prepares our minds in England for great changes in that part of the British Empire- Certain squatting clauses of a Land Bill had , in opposition to the inhabitants of Melbourne , been carried through the Legislature ; and the measure for abolishing state grants to religion had also , in accordance witli public opinion , passed the committee ordeal . The Mount Ararat gold diggings were spoken of as more than ever rich and productive . A bill had been introduced into the Legislature for laying | a tax upon those Chinese people who go to reside in j Victoria , no doubt for the purpose of restraining their ] numbers and preventing the colony from being infested ! with their brutal habits . The Chinese bad adopted the English plan of holding a public meeting to protest against the measure . Commercial affairs in Victoria were in an unsatisfactory state . —Morning Star . The Siamese Ambassadors . —Wo learn from our ; Malta correspondent ( says the Times ) that among the passengers on board her Majesty ' s despatch steamer I Caradoc , which arrived at Malta on the 8 th . ult ., were the three Siamese Ambassadors—Phgor Montri Suri-3 'wmgsi , Chamun Sulbedh Chaityy and Chamun Mix Dir Bidacks—accompanied by a numerous suite . Upon their arrival , they were saluted by her Majesty ' s ship Hibernia and afterwards by Fort St . Angelo . They were received at the palace by his Excellency the Governor , Sir William Reid , and Rear-Admiral Sir Montagu Stopford , with their respective staffs . Their Excellencies took up their abode at the Imperial Hotel , . much , it is said , to their dissatisfaction , as they expected they would have been the guests , according to the cus-L torn of their country , of the Governor . In the evening , attended by Commander Clavering , R . N ., of the Caradoc , L they were present in the Governor ' s box at the Opera , . where the richness and novelty of their costume attracted much attention , and on the following morning } Lieutenant-General Sir John Penn « father had the troops \ out in review order on the Floriana parade ground , in - honour of their arrival . Their Excellencies were to i leave Malta by the Caradoc for Englaud direct on the , 10 th or 11 th . They eat freely of game , poultry , pork , and curry of the very hottest at every meal . They : drink moderately of brandy , wine , champagne , and pale ; ale . They are very fond of tea , which they drink at - every meal , and all day long , without milk . They eat i no pastry or sweets . Eight of the principal members of i the embassy dine together ; the others , excepting serj vants Lave a separate table , and pay great respect and
homage whenver they address one of the superior eigiit . They are very cleanly , and all make a point of bathing every day . Their teeth are black from the use of the betel-nut . They have all sorts of European articles for ordinary purposes . They have splendid presents on board for her Majesty , among them two crowns and a lady ' s saddle , enriched with diamonds , rubies , and other precious stones , spears with gold heads , & c .

tmey are tolerably well provided . They dress is very splendid—a rich tunic with a belt of gold clasped in front with a buckle ornamented with diamonds and rubies ; loose trousers , and small richly-ornamented skull-cap , with a spire running from the top . A Long-namisi > Indian . —From the sublime to the ridiculous ! In the Madras papeTs we find a copy of a letter addressed to "His Highness Sree Pulmanabha Dausa Vanche Bala Martanda Vurmah Koola Shukara
Keereda Patheo Bazhiodia Ram Rajah Blmdor Mun-nay Sultan Maha Rajah Rujah Shuuisheer Jung Rajah of Travancorc , und signed " Harris 1 " His Highness Sree Pulmanabha , & c , of Travancore , has , wo are glad to see , subscribed 5000 rupees to the relief fund , with his good wishes and fervent prayers for peace and tranquillity . Thia contribution is announced in a letter , the signature of -which ia omitted , probably from want of room , and ia acknowledged in that the- address and signature of which we have above recorded . —Bombay Courier .
