Messrs . Chapman and Hall have added to their cheap uniform reprint oi Mr . Charles Lever ' s works 77 ie Q' ftonocjhue : a Tale of Ireland Fifty Years 000 , with , illustrations by Uablot K . Browne . Readers of this story will remember the fine historical spirit pervading it , always toned and relieved by that humour which has rendered Mr . lever a favourite . Mr . Bentley issues a fourth edition , in cne rreat and cheap volume , Our Antipodes ;" or , Residence and Rambles in the Australian Colonies , by Lieut .-Col . JNIundy . In this instance , popularity has been vell bestowed . Messrs . Longman have published ji ' Second Scries of Essays' by the Eev . Baden Powell ^ entitled , 'Christianity tcithotd Judaism . We place them among reappearances as including the substance of various sermons delivered in London and other places . But we would emphatically direct attention to the eruditesolidity and logical acumen of Mr . Towell ' s argument . Mr . William Lay sends us a volume which must also rank among reprints . It Is Miss Taxdoe ' s Pilgrimages in Paris ( with an elegant portrait of the writer ) . The book is one of l'eally pleasant pages , many of them transposed from Fraser ' s Magazine , to which they were originally contributed by Miss Pardoe . The sketches are animated , varied , and informing . That descriptive of French criminal procedure is particularly graphic .

Theatrical A2s T D Musical Notes. The Ch...
THEATRICAL A 2 s D MUSICAL NOTES . The charming young actress who has recently delighted the frequenters of the Haymakket toolc her first benefit on Wednesday evening , when she appeared in Mr . Oxenfokd ' s skilful and elegant adaptation of the Adrienne Lecouvreur-of Scbibe and Legouve . The attempt was a-very bold one , for Miss Sedgwicic imdertook the part which Rachel , has made her own by that wonderful genius which combines pantherlike passion with the tenderness of a fallen angel . Our English actress , however , played with much skill and feeling , and received an enthusiastic reception from a crowded and brilliant audience . One of _ the series of four performances at Her Majesty ' s Theatre , in honour of the Princess Royal ' s marriage—wMch will take place under the excellent auspices of Mr . Mitcueii , —willbe a performance of Macbeth ov . the 18 th of January . Mr . Phej . ps , who is the director of the Shakspearean night , will play Macbeth ; and Miss Helen Fa . ucit will once more delight a London audience In Lady Mnchetfi . At the Concert at the Crystal Pal ace last Saturday , Mademoiselle Fikom was rapturously applauded in a cavntina from the Barhiere . This lady ought to be engaged at one of theOpera-houses . She has youth , beauty , voice , and vocalization .

East Isdia Compast.—At The Quarterly Gen...
East Isdia Compast . —At the quarterly general couit of this company held on Wednesday , the pensions granted to General Wilson , to Mrs Nicholson , and to L . ady ! N " eill , were confirmed after discussion , during which Mr . Lewin moved that the pension to the latter lady ought to be increased from 500 L to 750 / . a year . The Chairman informed Mr . Lewin that this motion could not be put , and the lion , proprietor then proceeded to object to the course the Directors had taken with respect to the pensions . In the course of his observations , he said that the Board of Directors had not only caused the massacre in India , but , in conjunction -with the Government , the Board of Directors were responsible for what took place after the outbreak , in consequence of their neglect in sending out troops . He was ultimately called to order . Mr . Jones then moved . — " That it is due to the advancing intelligence of the people of Indin , that a deputy from each university in the several Presi-, dencies be maintained at the public expense in this I country , with a view to inform the proprietors as to the wishes and complaints of the people of India . " In supporting thi 3 motion , he denounced the general conduct of the Company ; attributed the insurrection to the annexations and tyranny of Lord Dulhousic , and to the alteration of the law of inheritance ; and eulogized the character of the Hindoo . Mr . Lewin seconded ! the motion , but it "was ultimately withdrawn . Before the breaking up of . the court , the Chairman announced that \ he liad been informed by Lord Pulincrston of tlie inten-¦¦ tion of Ministers to abolish the double government . i The Of-euation for Cancicu of tiik Tonguk . — j The "man whose tongue was recently cut out at Kdini burgh , on account of cancer , died iu about n week after ; the operation , but not from the eftccts of the removal of I tho organ . He expired from an internal disease .

ANOTHER NEW CONJUKOH . Undktkrutjd by the success and the astonishing facility of Herr Wir .-j JAr . BA Fhikei / l , another new conjuror has anade his appearance for the wonder I and delight of Christmas auditors . He comes from the hind of Vikgii- the j Magician and the enchanters of Akiosto and Tasso—from Italy , itself an enchantment and a -wonder . Some of the cliief performances of the Cavaliere Antonio Poletti ( for such is his rhythmical name ) may be g-athercd from his Programme , where we find such headings as— ' The Pyramids of Egypt ; ' 'Astrological Experiments ; ' ' The Mirror of Arniida ; ' ' Cards Played by Mesmerism' ( Sijrnor Poletti would feel much obliged if all visitors desirous of playing would bring their own cards-with them ); ' Illusions Practised by the - Mag-ician Merlirio , to Amuse the Lady of the Lake ; ' ' The Tomb of the Living ; ' ' The Invisible Spirit become Visible ; ' ' Magnetic Floating by a Lady iu the Air . ' This is quite the poetry of prestidigitation ; and we doubt uot that the Professor will receive nightly crowds at Willis ' s lioOMS .
The Lyceum. Miss Pyne, Mr. Iiaitmsonr, A...
THE LYCEUM . Miss Pyne , Mr . IIAitmsoNr , and their companj ' , bade farewell at the Lyceum last Saturday , and have now departed from London for the present , leaving charming memories behind thexli . An address was circulated among the audience , in which the co-managers made the agiceable intimation that negotiations are now pending for their occupancy of another house in the metropolis , where we are sure they Avill experience a renewal of that hearty welcome they havereceived at the Lyceum . They also state that they shall there produce a new opera by Mr . Geoiige Bkistow , an American musicinn . This work , we are told , has already won many and enthusiastic suffrages in the United States . Mr ., DiLi . oir renewed his season . ' on Thursday , AvJien , anticipating the honour 3 of ' Boxing IKTight , ' he produced his extravaganza and pantomime , Lulla Rookk ; ' or , iJte Princess , the Peri , and tlie Troubadour . Of this show piece we may briefly say'that it blazes with golden splendours , and givesoccasion for some very effective burlesque acting by Mr . Toole .

There are to be masques , and revels , and dances ( including Sir ltpg ^ r de Cuverley on a gigantic scale ) , and gratuitous monster plum-paddings , and ditto cakes , and regal Punch and Judys , and ballets , and amazing Christmas-trees - —all for the shilling admittance . Here is a ground on which the high and the humble may meetj with interchange of pleasure . May all avail themselves-, of . it , ' to ~ the exhilirating and enlarging of their hearts and souls !
