Ceasing then to regard heathen theologies from the personal point of vietf , and considering them solely with reference to the function thev fulfil ' where they are indigenous , we must recognise them in common with all theologies , as good for their times and places ; and this mental necessity , which disables us from conceiving Of a deity save as some idealization of ourselves , we must recognise as the agency by which harmony is produced andmaintainedbetween everyphase ofhuman character andits religious creed .

VARIOSUM . Sir E . Bulwee Lttton ' s comedy of 2 £ oney is become quite a stock piece ; . and , in many respeets , it deserves to be : It is not defective in construction ; the dialogue is pointed ; the situations are interesting . The cynicism is just of that temper and profundity which the youngest " man of the world" in the audience can applaud , and appropriate : and for the weaker' and better half of the audience , there is plenty of that sentimentality •¦ which " tells" on muslin in the boxes . We nave a word to say of Mr . George Vandenhoff . He fulfils our expectations of his capacities for serious comedy . His Evelyn is always manly and intelligent , and ( a happy contrast to Mr . Barry Sullivan ) intelligently dressed : and , if he is " stagey" at times , why , the language- ¦ he ¦ Aas to utter is eminently stagey , and he must talk for ever in capital letters and italics . But Compton ' s G-rcvves is the character in the performance .
The St . James ' s Theatre has been opened for a ( conditional ) season of forty nights for the performance of English operas , and foreign operas done into English . The performances are creditable to the company , and certainly seem to satisfy the public . Miss Lowe , as Amina , in La ' Sonnambula , achieves a respectable success . She acts becomingly ; but her voice , although sweet , is too slight for the music—a mere filet de voix . The same cannot be said of the masculine performers . We hear Mr . Hatch's musical , descriptive , and pictoi-ial Irish entertainment at Hanover Square Booms , agreeably spoken of . Miss llainforth announces a Scotch ballad en . crtainment , ibr the success of which her name is a sufficient guarantee .

The number of deaths from all causes registered in the week that ended on Saturday was 1144 , exhibiting an increase of about 100 on the first three weeks of October . In ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 , tho average number was 974 , which , if raised in proportion to increase of population , becomes 1071 . There i . s , therefore , an excess of TA in the present return on the corrected average , arising chiefly from tho epidemic , the progress of which lias been recorded during tho last two months , and "which has now attacked ninny parts of the metropolis ., widely distant , between Hammersmith and Whilcehnpel .

RE-OPENING OF THE LYCEUM . Yott know my affection for the Lyceum , and will not be surprised to hear that I gave myself an indigestion , making dinner rudis indigestaque moles by precipitate mastication , in anxiety to see the curtain rise . How vain are earthly struggles ! mundane vanities ! . The curtain had risen before we arrived , which considerably ruffled Julia , who , although " the sweetest of tempers , " is scarcely so amiable when " put out ;" accordingly she was taciturn , { Ithought sulky , ) and looked " daggers "—( or milk-jugs !)—at me . " With the cowardice natural to our sex , I persisted in not seeing her change , of manner , but rattled on with gay carelessness , laughing whenever I could at the Curious Case , and silently wondering what Charles Mathews would do had-he . a-Julia in the articleof-domestic-porcelain state of mind . ...... Female whose eye may be glancing over this page from Les Confessions de Vivian , " lend an ear" as well as an eye ! Take the solemn warning of a iro \ v 8 aKpvTo ? avr \ p , " a man of many tears , " ( shed on his shoulder!)— - never sit by the man who loves you and , all the time vowing that " nothing" is the matter , make him feel that he is immensely criminal , although , perhaps , unconscious of the crime ! ...... As this is somewhat digressive , and only remotely related to the theatrical question , I abruptly cease . I wanted to make yemunderstand Julia ' s state of mind and my own , in order that you might appreciate the effect upon us both of the sudden appearance of Wright on the front bench of the p it ! The performance was , The Commencement of a Bad Farce , in which Frank Mathews lost his cues , saw his daughter coming from Prompt Side when she really entered from O . P . —these and other mistakes caused a hiss . With the proverbial good-nature of a British pit ( not yet bored ) , the pit was indignant at this niss , and tried to drown it in . applause . The bad farce proceeded , and the hiss became fiercer , was taken up by other hissers , when on rushed Charles Mathews , in a state of managerial exasperation , accusing the hisser as the " emissary of a rival theatre . " The audience fell into the trap ; " Name ! name !" was shouted , and Mathews at length named the man and the theatre . " Mr . Wright from the Princess's , " whereupon Mr . Wright jumped upon the seat , and turning his well-known face of ruddy drollery to the audience , was received with a hurricane of applause and laughter , which lasted some minutes . During the surprised excitement , Julia turned to me , her eyes running over with the liquid light of mirth , and only seeking sympathy in mine . The " daggers" were sheathed from that moment . She seemed to say : " J'ai ri : me voila desarmi—I can't be lofty with you , after laughing with you . "
oppressively ambitiously bad , always running after jokes and only catching poor nuns and oddities . There was a standing dish of three pair of soles , which was served up in every inconceivable way . If any one alluded to body or soul—there were six soles ready for jocular application ; and Mrs . Frank asks after her parasol merely to let Wright answer , " he has three pair o' soles in the next room . " How Mathews , a man of wit and experience , could have produced such a farce , will be perfectly incomprehensible to those who , only judging of pieces when they see them performed , have no idea how difficult it is to say beforehand what will and what will not succeed .
It is very old business this of an actor taking his place among the audience , but it never fails of its effect ; and the smart dialogue which ensued between the actors on _ the stage and Wright in the , pit ( aided occasionally by some of the audience ) produced " roars . " After Wright ' s criticising the theatres generally and the Lyceu m specially , he was invited to get upon the stage and act . He did so ; the curtain descended , to re-ascend for Wright at last , a clumsy , ill-written version of Quand on attend sa bourse . A most unlucky chance or choice was this farce , the stupidity of which amounted almost to the insulting ! It had no drollery of story , no character , no situation ; while the dialogue was
In the way of gossip , I may notice the opening of the St . James ' s Theatre , for-English opera and ballet . At Deuey Lane " ¦ legitimate " horsemanshi p continues its career ; at the Princess ' s there has been another version of Le Fits de Famille , of which I spoke when Webster produced his Discarded Son . What is ifc makes managers run so much in each other ' s track ? Vivian .
