FRANCE . In the sitting of the Assembly on the 20 th hut ., the debate on the Communal Electoral Bill was resumed . M . de Larcy proposed , in the name of the committee , an amendment reducing the term of domicile for citizens not born in the commune , nor hating satisfied therein the law of recruitment , from three years to two . M . de Larochejaquelin moved a still further reduction to eighteen months . The Jatter terra was rejected . The term of two years was combated by 11 . Leon Faucher , as a concession on the part of the conservat o ire majority , which betokened its abasement , and as a desertion of the law of May 31 .
Several voices called for the expression of the government ' s opinion . But complete silence was Observed by the bench of ministers . The amendment in favour of two jeara was then put to the vote and carried by 3 W against 218 . Mgr . Sibour , the Archbishop of Paris , has visited several associations of workmen in the faubourgs . In the Faubourg St . Antoine he made a speech to about 300 men and their families , which , according to the report in the * Atenement / was in these terms : — ' Christ , my friends , bought the people from . slavery j afterwards society accomplished another revolution , the redemption of serfs ; the work which you are doing at the present moment is the redemption of hired labourers . '
He afterwards visited an association of cbairturners in the Sue Popincourt , and at the conclus- ' on Of his address he said to them : — ' I have visited other manufactories ! and in all of them I have seen one maBter and many workmen , tut here you yourselves are ninety rca 3 ters . ( These vrords were received with loud applause j and a cry of "Vive Ja Bepublique" was heard , which the workmen hesitated to repeat . ) "Why do you fear to hear frankly the expression of your political faith ? That cry has been so much repressed elsewhere , that you should make it echo here in full liberty . I am not a party man , but a man of conciliation . My position makes it my duty to mediate , and as a man I shareyour sympathies . '
The Assembly has appointed the following committee to report on the bill of the council of state , relative to presidential and ministerial responsibility ;—Michel ( de Bourses ) , Pascal Duprat , Creton / Bechard , Cremieux , Berryer , Janvier , Monnet , E . Arago , Dufaure , Combarel de Leyval , Jules de Lasteyrie , Marc Dufraisse , Laboulie , Fradie . The composition of this committee is decidedly hostile to the executive . The bill provides that the President may be tried for exciting to the violation of the 45 th article of the Constitution ,
In the sitting of the Assembly on Saturday laBt , after some sixty clauses of the Communal Electoral BUI had been got through in about three quarters of an hour , a curious incident occurred . An amendment of Gen . Grammont , by which a fine of from five to fifteen francs was to be imposed upon every elector n ho should abstain from voting without reasonable cause , was carried by mistake , owing to the sheer inattention of the house to what was going on . U ;> on the remark of Gen . Lamoriciere that there had been a surprise , the President , M . Pupin , proposed to put the question again . This vras the signal for uproar . The Mountain , weary of
a scene in which they , according to their present tactics , had resolved to be mere passive spectators , insisted for the mere fun of the thing that General Grammont ' s proposition bad been definitively carried . M . Dupin attempted to read the standing orders , hat was so frequently and violently interrupted that he dashed the book down in despair . He scolded all sides of the house in turn , declared that he was physically worn out , threatened to resign , and at length exclaimed , ' Malheureux pays de France , va I Tom domes an beau spectacle au pays . ' At length a serious division upon General Grammont ' s proposition was teken , and it was thrown out by an immense majority .
On Sunday last the President was to have distributed in the square hall of the Louvre , decoraiions to the French contributors to the London Exhibition , who have won prizes . The ceremony , however , vras put off in consequence of a tremendous row which occurred just at the moment of its commencement . At twelve o ' clock the President appeared , but no applause greeted his arrival . The place was crammed to suffocation , and it vsas then rumoured that the distribution was ^ to take place in a larger room of the Louvre . In the rush to the room , a louder tumult than ever ensued . All
respect of person ceased . Ambassadors and their jewelled ladies fared no better in the crush than the meanest citizen . So consideration for sex appeared to prevail , any more than for rank . Such a scene of brutal straggle , violent panic , and headlong confusion was scarcely ever before witnessed It was noticed that Moaseigneur Sihnnr , the Archbishop of Paris , had saved himself from the wreck in a corner , where he patiently awaited the issue of the events . Immense efforts were made to thrust back the folds of the great door again , and the crowd at length succeeded in bursting them open . The soldiers placed at this entrance were swept from their post like cbaff before the wind . In burst the crowd ,
and the tramp as of thousands Tunning along the waxed floors was heard while some of those who headed the column slid , by way of defiance to all decorous behaviour . By this time the President had got a good way ahead ; hut as soon as the new irruption was perceived , part of his rear-guard detached % mselve =, to make & stand against the onrushing impetuous column , but it was of no use . The uproar continued to rage most frightfully for some time longer , until at last the President , who showed t&raujtMHit . tte gtfc&tfcfct presence oi mind , mounting on a table made signs tbat he would speak . Bv degrees the tumult became hushed .
He then proceeded to say that in consequence oi the unfortunate confusion which had occurred from the excessive crowd , it was found impracticable to proceed with the intended ceremony , and that this would therefore be deferred until the next day . This announcement having been made , flew with telegraphic speed back through the thronging spectators : and gradually a rearward movement commenced , nntil the rooms were ultimately cleared . The number of people admitted are estimated by the tickets received at 10 , 000 . On the following day , therefore the distribution took place . The President , in his speech , delivered himself of the following remarkable passage : —
In presence of those remarkable and unexpected results , I repeat how great would the French Revolution be were it permitted to attend to its real easiness and to reform its institutions , in place of being incessantly disturbed on one side by demagogical ideas , and on the other by monarchical hallucinations .- ( Thunders of applause . ) Do demagogical ideas proclaim a truth ? No 1 they everywhere spread error and falsehood . They are preceded by uneasiness and followed by deception , and the resources employed to repress them are So much hat from more pressing ameliorations and
from the relief of distress . As to the monarchical hallucinations , witbont producing the same danger , they cqoally impede all progress arid all seriout occupations . We straggle instead of advancing We see men formerly the ardent promoters of th « prerogative of royal authority become Conventionalists , in order to disarm the . government sprung from the popular suffregeB . ( Tumultuous applause . ) We see those who suffered most , and who ought the mast to lament revolutions , provoke a fresh one for the sole object of evading the national will , and to prevent the movement from
pursuing a peaceful course , vchich is transforming society , ( prolonged " Bravoa . " ) A government winch is animated by an ardent faith , and which leads the way Bafely through a space where there is no beaten path , will know how to fulfil its mission , hairing j , uh it the right issuing from tne people and the strength which emanftes from uod .

the royalist conspiracy , whom he accuses of wishing to turn themselves into members of a convention . There is a great sameness in the remarks of all tbe papers on the subject . The Debate abstains from all comment . So does the ' Presse . ' The ' Pays' is rather favourable . The ' Ordre , ' 1 Opinion PubUque , '' Union , ' * Assemblee Nationale , ' ' Siecle , ' and ' National , ' all attack the speech , and , protesting respectively against the imputations on royalists and socialists , remind Louis Napoleon that there is a beaten track laid down by the constitution , and that if he does not adhere to it , it may be the worse for him .
At the beginning of the sittin g on Tuesday the Assembly was greatly agitated in consequence of the above speech . When M . Baze proceeded to the tribune it was thought that he was going to make some allusion to the significant phraseology of Louis Napoleon . But he only complained of some alterations which had heen made by the Minister of the Interior in his ( M . de Thorigny ' s ) speech of the day before in the proofs of the ' Moaiieur . He would not advert to the cheers ' which the minister had modestly interpolated at the end of his speech . The importance of the alteration consisted in the version of the ' Moniteur ' alleging that prosecution had not been instituted because the proofs of the conspiracy were wanting , whereas what M . de Thorigny said was , that if he had thought the plot existed , be would have prosecuted the conspirators .
The latter statement implied tbat he did not be . Heve in the existence of a conspiracy . M , Lacrosse , Minister of Public Works , said that the incident was brought forward during the absence of the Minister of the Interior . The president of the Assembly announced that an erratum would appear in the ' Moniteur' of Wednesday to restore the original words of the Minister of the Interior . Thus the disavowal of the Constitutionnel' by the government would be maintained . The erratum has appeared in the ' Moniteur . '
^ M . Creton , > n interpellating the Minister , relative to the above matter , applied moat insulting epithets to the writer of the article in the' Constitutionnel . ' He called Cassagnac ' a miserable pamphleteer , a slanderer , whom he permitted to shield himself under the disdain which he inspired , and to take refuge in the ignominy of his whole past life / M . Creton said that he could not fight with such a man . It may be mentioned here that M . Lacrosse , the present Minister of Public Works , still limps somewhat from a wound received in a duel with M . Granier de Cassagnac . On
Wednesday last he sent M . Penguelly-Laridoux , a naval gentleman , and friend of M . Yeron , and M . Berard , representative , find late secretary of the Assembly , to call out M . Creton for the insulting epithets which he had used , but it appears that his application was in vain , for Cassagnac publishes in the' ConstitutionneV the steps which he had taken to procure reparation from M . Creton for the gross insult he bad used towards him in the Assembly ; and calls attention to the tyranny of the parliament in obliging men of the press to sign their articles , tbat they mav be outraged with impunity .
MM . Monet , de Larochejaquelein , and Victor Lefranc have presented an amendment on the Communal Electoral Bill , proposing to reduce to one year the length of residence required for all Frenchmen not born in the commune . MM . Miot , Richardet , Greppo , and Laboulaye , members of the Mountain , have presented a proposition having for its object to replace M . Pradie ' s proposition on the responsibility of the President of the Republic and his mumterg . It fun * thus : ' AH persons Who shall have conspired or abetted a conspiracy tending to a royalist or imperial
restoration shall be tried with the least possible delay before the High Court of Justice . When convicted of the crime of censpiracy , they shall be immediately placed 7 iors la lot . In addition , they shall be condemned to a fine , the minimum and maximum of which shall be tne one-half , and three-fourths of their fortune . Prescription against such punishment shall not be available until after a period o twenty-five years , dating from the day on which the crime shall have been committed . The execution of the present law is confided to the patriotism of all Frenchmen . '
Ii appears by a letter of the board of the Electoral Union , that in the preparatory ballot fat the candidate to represent the Seine , onl y 15 , 000 electOTS took part . The board announces that M . Devinck , having obtained the majority , becomes the definitive candidate of the party of order . But it is said to be doubtful whether he will get the qua ' rter of votes inscribed necessary for his election .
AUSTRIA . Trora private Vienna Utters we lea ™ that th police measures against parties suspected of agiotage have not been suspended , but were , on the contrary , daily increasing . They certainty began with the brokers , but they have since been extended to persons of other classes and professions , and of both sexes . Bankers , merchants , trades , people , clerks , manufacturers , railway labourers , literary men , midwives , lawyers , and medical menin fact hardly one of the classes which live by honest industry is unrepresented in the small army of persons expelled . Among them are born subjects of Austria , citixeriB of Vienna in the full
possession of the civic rights and privileges ; others have acquired the ri ghts of citizenship by long resilience . In most cases the characters of the expelled will bear the strictest scrutiny ; their business has been carried on in a straightforward , honest manner ; they have paid the heavy taxes imposed by th « despotic government without murmuring , and have submitted to the degradation of the infernal system Of spying and watching without opposition . Yet theBe individuals , many of them possessing only the means of living in the most humble style , are expelled because the officials of the police choose to suspect them of improper speculations . Apart from the ignorance of tbe most simple economical truths ,
which almost every child in England knows , which is displayed in these measures , the monstrous tyranny towards honest individuals is beyond anything that has ever before been perpetrated even by tbe Austrian government . Already have the necessary economical results of such measures appeared . Silver bIiows an increased tendency to rise , though tke business transacted is of no iltt * portance , and corn of all kinds , with potatoes , has risen full four and five per cent . Though the supposed conspirators bare been expelled , the object they were accused of endeavouring to attain remains not merely in the same , but actually in a worse position .
HUNGARY . The Vienna correspondent of the ' Times' writes : — 'I am credibly informed tbat the situation of things in Hungary is most unsatisfactory . The Archduke vj as well received by the old Conservative party , but the passive resistance system is kept up with a perseverance which is truly astonishing ; and even the subaltern employes appear to take pleasure in frustrating the intentions of their superiors . We read that the gtndarmes render excellent service ; but we hear that life and property were never so insecure as at present . I am strongl y inclined to believe that the law is io utterl y powerless , that nothing but the fear of " powder and lead" keeps the lower classes in any kind of order . '
ROME . The General of the French army has concentrated at Rome all the garrisons of the neighbourhood , and harangued the troops , declaring that whatever happens it will always be the duty of rtie Trench ttoops to protect the person of the Pope . A correspondent states , apropos of Louis Napoleon ' s allusion to the reorganisation of the Roman army , that the papal officers had resolved to receive the ex-legionaries and republican disbanded Boldiers as recruits , and were offering thirty dollars per head bounty money . In spite of which enlistment went on very slowly . A dragoon had been arrested for having Mazzinian proclamations in his possession , he was accused by an officer named Evangelisti , brother of the chancellor who was assassinated in June . One of the head sMrri had been arrested for mal-practices .
NAPLES . A letter , dated tbe 14 th inst ., from Naples , decribes several outrages on Britiib subjects , and generally ( he system of uncivil and aggressive conduct towards them on the part of the authorities . It is only a short time since that a British passport was refused in Naples , and Us owner sent away , because the police ( without any proof , ) thought the traveller was 'dangerous umtm . ' Three or lour English gentlemen , artists , were travelling , on a late occasion , in tbe Neapolitan provinces ; they were arrested oy the police , marched twent y miles between gen . aarmes imprisoned and insulted . Eventually they were released , as their passports were perfectly en « 1 L " 1 tnemseUea perfectly innocent of any thP * J 5 ^ Maudin f > an Englishman , i , frLi n a w Pr ° P"et ° * of oil works in the AU XfermJf C ° CCa 9 ion this 8 en «« " «> leftbU imks for dBy w two , ^ hj whua iwvA the

windows of his manufactory broken and his people in a great state of alarm . Some gendarmes had endeavoured to break into the building for tbe purpose of abusing tbe femaleB employed in the works . Mr . Maudint , on learning the particulars of the case , applied to the authoritiei of the place and requested the gendarmes might be arrested . He had scarcely returned home when two of the gendarmes entered and began to abuse him , stating that he was an enemv of the King . He asked , \ n what way ?
The man then thrust the royal arms of their uniform at his face , and used the most abusive language , which ended by placing handcuffs on Mr . ' Maudint and marching him off to prison . Here he was insulted and struck , the irons still round his wri » ts . Two days aftet he was released , having been informed that ' there was no ground for his detention . ' Mr . Maudint has applied to his minister at Naples , from whom we hope he wi ' . l obtain redress Of covwse , while Englishmen ate treated in this Vfsj tbe Neapolitans do not escape .
Only a few nights ago the house of two brothers , Agrelli , was surrounded and searched , and the inmates taken eff to prison . No one kuowB why . Enough that they had been denounced aa hostile to the government . HANOVER . Some surprise has been excited by the new King being styled George V ., George IV . having been the first of that name who was King of Hanover , the predecessors being only Electors . A proclamation has been issued , which , after a titular preamble , says : — ' And whereas by tbe established order of succession the government of the kingdom of Hanover hath passed into our bands , we by these presents inform our subjects and auihorities that we have entered upon the functions of government . And further , we promise by these
presents , and pledge our royal word to the most sacred observance of the Constitution of the country ; and while we confirm our Ministers of State , and all our servants of secular or clerical estates , in their offices , trust , and dignities , we have that confidence in them , and in all our t ^ bjects , that they will grant us all due obedience , 16 ve , and honour . In return of which , we assure them of out Royal grace and favour , of our protection , and desire , with the help of Almighty God , and to the best of durabilities , to promote the welfare of our subjec ( t ) .
* We have decreed that this patent , with our band and seal affixed thereunto , shall be placed into the archive of the General Assembly of estates , and that the same shall be published in the first ; number of the edition of our laws , George . ' This document is countersigned by six persons . Notwithstanding bis declaration of confidence in the ministry , late advices from Hanover inform ui that they are already dismissed .
Later accounts ; from Hanover inform US that a ttfew cabinet has been formed under tbe auspices of Baron Scheele , who undertakes the Presidency of the cabinet and Foreign Affairs . The department of Finance has been offered to Mi Bar , who bag refused it . All the other posts are filled up ; The ' Kolner Zeitung' states that the greatest consternation prevails among the public , especially on account of Baron Scheele , who has these many years been an object of fear aud suspicion to the
Hano-UNITED STATES . Advicas from New York state that the chief mat . ter of political interest is the rejection by Mr Webster of the terms proposed by Spain for the set ; tlement of the Cuban difficulty , and for a better understanding between tbe two countries . The proposition was for the American government to invite the Spanish consul to return to New Orleans , to bring him in a national vessel , and to salute the Spanish flag over him , and further to restore the
value of the property of the consul , and of the Spanish citizens of New Orleans , which was de » stroyed by the rioters . In case this proposition should be rejected , the minister was instructed to demand his passports and return . Of course , therefore M . de Calderon de la Barea is in a diplomatic category . The Mississippi had arrived with the Hungarians on board . It is stated that Kossuth made a profound impression upon the officers oi the ship . They are loud in his praise .

It is stated that the circulation ef the " Times ' since the commencement of its attacks on Kossuth has fallen 0 , 009 , Whether this bo true or not , here has no doubt been a considerable decline .

The military commander of Milan has forbidden the Proteatants of that city to meet for tbe celebration of divine service at the house of Mr . Mylius , a merchant and citizen enjoying universal esteem . Several serious shocks of earthquake have been experienced of late in Albania . The town and castle of Vallona , according to a letter from Zara , of the 5 th , have been utterly destroyed , and 2 , 000 persons have perished . It is said tfcat Austria has sent a note to the United States government , declaring that it will look with ' concern and regret' upon any special recognition of Ko&uth .
PoBtage-stamps for the prepayment of letters are to be brought into use in Holland at the beginning of the nextyear , A note of Lord Palmerstou to the Greek government , containing severe reproaches , has produced great sensation at Athens . The Cabinet having differed as to the answer which ought to be returned , a Ministerial crissi has ensued , which was likely to end in the triumph of the Russian party . Rose Taraisier , who was lately tried at Carpentras , for having got up the pretended miracle of a bleeding picture in the church of St . Saturnin , and having outraged religion by possessing herself of the consecrated wafers left on the altar , but escaped by the Court declaring itself incompetent , has been tried anew at Nismes , found guilty , and condemned to six months' imprisonment , 500 f . fine , and the
costs . A frightful accident happened on the night of the 16 th inst ., at Marseilles , almost within sight of the port . The steamer La Ville de Grasse , going to Cannes , v ? as run down by ' La Ville de Marseilles , ' coming from Italy . ' La Ville de Grasse ' had a great many passengers , nearly tbe whole of whom have perished . Among them was the Russian Count Haag , with his family of seven persons . The captain , an English gentleman ( name unknown ) and a child , were saved .
Tbe reason why Mr . Baring was so anxiously looked after by the police while he was in Rome , is stated to bave been this;—He presented a letter of credit at Torlonia ' s bank for no less a Bum than 500 , 000 francs ( £ 20 , 000 ) , and also intimated hi * intention of taking up the money immediately , which eo consternated the managers , that they thought it advisable to warn the police authorities , as fifty-thousand francs might be devoted to very dangerous purposes in a country 80 lipe for revolution as Korae is . Tne police deemed it prudent to see where Mr . Baring went with his money , and what , persons he was in connexion with , and consequently set a sbirri on bis trail .

DRURY LANE TMATRE . Operations on the most extensive scale are at length entered upon for the opening of this , the last of our national establishments , as it ought to be opened at Christmas . It has been determined by Mr , Bunn to re-decorate the theatre in the most costly style throughout , and in consequence of the limited time for doing this , the embellishments are now in course of preparation in various partH of the town , with as many hands as can be applied to them . "Within the theatre all the departments are fully occupied by operatives for the Christmas pantomime , the report of wbich is eulogistic in the extreme . "We d . 0 not entertain ft question that when Mr . Bunn's plans are fully developed , and an ample display of the very first arrtistcs he has secured made known , that he will liavo as brilliant a Benson as any . on record .

STRAND THEATRE . Tho versatilities of Mr . John Keeve were displayed on Monday night in a new farce called Counter . Attraction , 'in which a . hoinceopathic doctor strives to detain a motley group of patients in his house by means of a strolling player whom he presses into bis sevvico . The actor jb of tho Sylvester Daggerwood sohool , and , seedy and shirtless , emits a thousand playhouse scraps , which provoke laughter by their odd and satirical applicability . But Mr . John Reeve hangs on to this old theatrical skeleton a variety of novel effects . He imitates musical instruments , flits round the stage
after tho manner of the horseriders at Asttey ' s , dances the truandaise , and wind 3 up with a grotesque paraphrase of Lablache . In these Protean labours ho exhibited a good deal Of c / over « ness , but , amid much that was comic- as jiatodite , there was much that was poor and insipid . The powers of Mr . Reeve as a mimic aro but limited , and such performances as thoae of Monday night becomes monotonous from the want of contrast and the lack of real spoutaneousness . Tho untiring exertionB of the artist , however , were not unrecognised by the audience . They seemed to be amused at the whimsicalities they witnessed ; and tho bagatelle in which they weie sot was loudly applauded at the close .

Honnor , as Pauline , and Mrs . Hugh Campbell , as Madame Deschaj * pelles , sustain their parts with great ability . The di'esses and scenery are in perfect keeping . The concluding piece is the equestrian drama ofilaxeppa , which is got up in a style of splendour seldom Been at the minor houses . Tho stud is beautiful and efficient ; the scenery good ; and the character ? well sustained . Mrs . Moroton Brooks , as Olinska , and Rayner , as Mazeppn , were much applauded . Mr . Crowther , as Abder Khan , the Tartar King , was well received .

SOIIO THEATRE . An entertainment of rather a novel character , entitled "Croquis Musicales / 'hasbeen produced at this neat little theatre . It consists of a series of dances nnd songs , illustrative of the styles and peculiarities of all nations in the instrumental , vocal , and terpsicuoreim arts . The vocal portion of the entertainment elicited great applause . Madlle . Luigi sang the Spanish song " La Callasa" with greatvivacity , and ' Johnny Cope'' was deservedly encored . Perhaps the greatest vocal novelty consisted in the performance of Ilerr Ludwich , who produces with his voice the peculiar sounds of the Eolian harp , or a musical box . Tho imitation was most porfeet and astonishing The dances nlso
gave great satisfaction , particularly the " Minuet do la Cour , " by Les Petiles Eiiouinst and the "Cachucha , " by Madlle . Annotta . Numerous bouquets of fWers thrown on the stago during the evening testified the approbation of the audience . The Chinese bell-ringers , with whose performance the public is already acquainted , also appeared . We would advise the proprietor to withdraw tho "Esquimaux , " such a scene would disgrace a barn , and insult the pigs . Tne " Croquis Musicalos " are highly interesting , and it is to be regretted that the proprietor did net cany out his design during the World ' s Exhibition , when no doubfc he would have reaped an abundant harvest . "We heartily wish him sucoess .

PRINCESS'S THEATRE . On Saturday night last this favourite place oi amusement reopened for a new career as successful ) we trust , as those which bave preceded it under its present management . We are promised great things by Messrs Kean and Keeley , and we iave great faith in their pledges . Indeed the manner in which Shakespeare ' s comedy of ZTte Merry Wives of Windsor was placed on Saturday evening before the public would satisfy any one that skill , taste and liberality had been all combined to illustrate the production of the greatest dramatist the world has ever produced . We had upon this occasion to hail the . return of an old favourite , in a character in which wo have heretofore seen him to
great advantage . Mr . Bartley , who has been induced once more to favour the public with the representation of some , of his favourite characters , and who on Saturday night impersonated the celebraiid kuight of the bucklmsket , Sir . Mm FaUtaff , in such a manner as to leave for the critic nothing to bestow but unequivocal pvaise .. In hi 3 two interviews with Ford , under the assumed name of Brook , his easy style of patvouage , and the mingled egotism , avarice , and humour lie displays while " making his base bargain with the jealous husband , was inimitable . Mr . Charles Kean a Mr . Ford was , be / ond dispute , the most original and natural performance of the past we have ever witnessed . He divested it completely of that tragio
solemnity w hich actors generally assume in the character , and represented Ford as he really is , a sensitively suspicious man , perpetually worrying himself with self-created chimeras . The eagerness with which he presses tbe purse on Falstaff , and urges him to " vise bia art of wooing" to win Wb own wife to his wishes was the perfect picture of a jealous husband seeking to be convinced of his lartner ' s infidelity . The whole party was , indeed , a highly finished and Vlioroughly-studied performance . — With respect to the other characters wo can only say that Sir Hugh Evans was well represented iv Mr . Keelev . as was also Slender by Mr , Harley ;
while Dr . Caius could not have been placed in better hands than those of Mr . Wigan . The merry wivea were , of course , Mrs . C . Kean and Mrs . Keeley , for who else in the present day could so well enact those admirable creations of the bnrd of Avon , Upon the whole we must admit that we have never seen the play placed so well upon the stage , and it reflects the . highest credit upon the management ; that we are enabled to 6 ay conscientiously , whether as regards scenery , costume , or acting , we never experienced greater enjoyment heretofore in witnessing the representation of this exquisite comedy . The house WR 8 crowded to the ce ilJ"g- '
. A new one-act comedy was produced on Monday under the interesting title of Tender Precautions ; or the Romance of Marriage , It ia written Vf itu much epirit , and its construction ) B calculated to bring into full play the peculiarities and powers of its chief performers Mr . and Mrs . Keeloy , and of course to bring down continuous shouts of laughter from the audience . The piece was decidedly successful , und contains much that is arousing and laughable . It is tbe product of one intimately ac quainted with stage tactics , and of one who knows how to make the very moat of comparatively slight materials .
