" /~ \ UTCAST LONDON " has been preached for , lectured at , in-^ terviewed , and treated as a psychological demonstration ; but a little lady comes back to us from Australia , —and from triumphs there , —to show , with a life and poignancy hitherto unrealised by editors or philanthropists , the horrors that lurk in the dark places of our civilisation . She paints , with eloquenoe of voice and gesture ,
Charles Dickens forlorn waif " Jo . " The Murillo delicacy of touch has lost nothing since we parted with this gifted artist , and the pitifulness of the hunted scrap of humanity commands our tears and even reluotant laughter as completely as when Jenny Lee's powers first startled a London andience . Miss Lee is supported by several
of the original oast , notably by Mr . Burnett , whose Bucket is admirable in its freedom from exaggeration—a characteristic always in jeopardy in representations from Charles Dickens ' s novels . Miss Ada Ward made a stately and touching Lady Dedlock , whilst Hortense was portrayed with fire and force by Miss Dolores
Drummond , who , by the way , possesses the rare accomplishment of a perfect French accent . Miss Katie Lee ' s " Guster " made a fit pendant to her gifted sister ' s " Jo . " Mr . Lee , however , out-Dickens Dickens in his impossible Guy Faux beadle . Mr . Wilkinson has very carefully reproduced the original Snagsby . His
is a Cruickshank drawing made living . The rest of the cast was efficient , and did their best with the episodical business . We hope that Miss Lee may ere long give us occasion to applaud her in some fresh part , which may not owe all its interest and value to its
title r 61 e alone . The play is very well mounted , while the costumes are for the most part characteristic of forty years ago . The drawing room at Chesney Wold is a fine set piece , rich in colouring , and " Tom ' s Alone " no less good in its melancholy realism .

nPHE revival of ' ¦ For Ever , " at this theatre , last Monday , was -L welcomed with great enthusiasm by the residents of Islington . Mr . George Conquest , who takes the part of Zacky Pastrana , played with his usual artistic finish . The scene at the Aquarium , where he simulates madness , was especially good . He is well backed by the company , amongst whom we may mention Mr . T . F . Nye ( as the
villainouB nephew of Sir Philip Daremonnt ) , and Mr . E . Gurney ( Sir Philip ' s son ) , as being well to the fore . Miss Amy MoNeill played with great feeling . " For Ever" will be withdrawn on Saturday , the 21 st , and on Monday , the 23 rd inst ., Mr . J . H . Clynds will re . appear , in a new and original nautical drama , " Before the Mast , " by Fred . W . Broughton .

IN this struggle for the survival of the fittest among managers , we may expect Mr . Mayer to emerge with the smile of conscious merit . His pleasant season at the Koyalty is about to close , with the favourite pyrotechnic display of the respected firm of Tricoche et Cacolet . We are heartily sorry to part with our friends Colombey ,
Didier , Mme . Leon , and their brilliant confreres , but we shall look forward to many bright hours with them ere next New Year . In the meantime the beautiful and gifted Jane Hading , and the famous singer Mile . Van Zandt , are promised by Mr . Mayer for his coming
season at the Gaiety . "LeMaitre des Forges , " " Frou Frou , " and " Prince Zillar , " are to be illustrated by Mme . Hading , Damala , and the company from the Gymnase , whilst Mile . Van Zandt is to appear in the new operas " Lackme , " " Mignon '" " Mireille . "

THE CANTERBURY
THE farce " Eobert Macaire" was originally written for the dramatic blue fire school , but was turned into a burlesque by Frederick Lemaitre , who by it created one of his triumphs . Some of us have alternately laughed and shuddered when Irving and Toole have put on the tattered garments of Bertrand and Eobert . But even the twin brethren of tragedy and comedy , with the power of spoken
words , scarce give a more living presentment than that of the Martinettis , —Paul and Alfred . With the aid of their graceful sister Josephine , and a well-trained company , their representation may be pronounced a grand success . The drama of course is acted in dumb show , but so admirable is the gesture and facial expression
brought to bear that dialogue seems unnecessary . The escape from prison , introduced as a prologue , was followed by the arrival of the hungry pair of rascals at the village inn , where they partake of breakfast under difficulties that keeps the house convulsed with laughter . The theft of the cash box by Kobert , whilst Bertrand
keeps watch outside , is made a great feature of . Eobert ( Paul Martinetti ) sees the cloak and cocked hat of a gensdarme on a hayfork , and is seized with terror and a mad instinct to murder his supposed enemy . It was here the actor ' s tragic power showed . The honse at the display of his ghastly fear and ferocity grew silent , as ,
with clenched teeth and starting eyes , he rushes at his supposed victim and strikes again and again . Presently his companion appears , only to be shot by the awakened gensdarme . Bertrand wildly tries to escape , and climhs to the roof of a shed , only to fall , mortally
wounded , to the ground . Here he struggles , till he sees his com . panion ' s body , when he staggers to it , and gazes with frantic despair , till the death agony Biezes him . The reokless defiant -villainy of Kobert ( Alfred Martinetti ) was no less ably represented . Those amongst us who , like the Athenians of old , are seeking for something
The Canterbury
new , will assuredly find it at the handsome hall on the other side the Thames . For those who care to see women , young and graceful , risk life and limb to make a London holiday , we would say nothing more daring has been seen than the trapeze performance of the sisters Vaidis .

Church , York Lodge , was elected a member , and ballot was taken for the admission of Bro . Bignold , Eccleston Lodge 1624 , and he was advanced into the degree ,
Bro . Vincent perfectly and impressively conducting the ceremony . The brethren then adjourned to the Holborn Eestaurant , where a sumptuous and recherche banquet and dessert was provided by Bros . Gordon and Hamp and served in the Venetian Eoom . The W . M . proposed the usual Loyal and Mark toasts . These included
the health of his Eoyal Highness the Prince of Wales as Past Grand Master ; Eight Worshipful Earl of Kintore G . M . ; Eight Worshipful Lord Egerton of Tatton D . G . M ., and the Grand Officers . In speaking to the latter toast , the W . M . said they were honoured by the presence of Grand Offioers , and he would couple with it the name
of Brother C . F . Matier P . G . W ., who eloquently responded ; he referred to the Benevolent Fand attached to the Degree , and hoped they would not forget the 22 nd of July next , on which occasion theD . G . M . Lord Egerton of Tatton would preside . The W . M . then proposed the toast of the E . W . Sir Francis Burdett , Prov . G . M .
Middlesex , and the Provincial Grand Officers , present and past , and he would call on Bro . Poore P . G . I . G . to respond . Bro . Poore P . M . having acknowledged the compliment , proposed the health of the W . M Bro . Vincent , he said , had proved himself a good worker ; that had especially been seen that night . To refer to his various qualities
would be superfluous . It is fully recognised he is well qualified to perform any ceremony required of him . Bro . Vincent said in future he hoped tho Lodge would show what it could do ; he always felt he had the support of the Officers . The toast of the Exaltee was next on the list . Bro . Bignold was one whom they were all pleased to
see ; he ( the W . M . ) was present at his initiation into the Craft ; he was sure he would be as good a member in the Mark degree . With the toa 3 t also he would associate the name of the joining member , Bro . Church . He hoped to see him in the ohair of a Mark Lodge . Bro . Bignold having appropriately responded , Bro . Church made a
few remarks . The W . M . then proposed the toast of the Past Masters of the Lodge . He regretted so many were absent j but he could speak of their good qualities , especially so of two who were present , and he would call on Bros . Poore and Pulman . The latter brother responded in a very humorous speech ; he might say that
during the present W . M . ' s occupation of the chair all their meetings had been most successful . In proposing the toast of the Visitors , the W . M . said they were honoured by the presence of Bro . Norman Selfe , from the Colonies ; this brother desired to take the Ark Mariners' degree . The Lodge also was honoured by the visit of
Bro . Capt . Hunter P . G . M . North Wales . He was very pleased to hear him express an opinion , before they left the Lodge , as to the working . Bro . N . Selfe P . S . G . D . Sydney , No . 25 , responded ; it was with warm heart and feelings that he did so . He had been for twenty years a Mark Mason , but had never seen better working ; he
had to thank the W . M . for his kind expressions . The Craft Lodge to which he belonged generally had about 20 visitors ; it only took 35 days to visit Sydney ; if any of the brethren came there they would receive a hearty welcome . Bro . Gardner said this was his first visit since his advancement . He was pleased with the manner the W . M .
had performed his duties . The W . M . in proposing the toast of the Wardens and Officers , said that thanks were due to Bros . Gregory and Edmonds ; he hoped the Officers would in future be at their posts
to be able to assist him , so that the ceremonies might be properly performed ; and at the expiration of his year of office that it might be said he had done his duty to their satisfaction . Bros . Gregory and Edmonds having responded , the Tyler gave the parting toast .
Bro . W . W . Morgan , I . P .

Brethren are cordially invited to attend .
HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS . —The Great Need . —The blood is the life , and on its purity our health as well as our existence depends . These Pills thoroughly cleanse the vital fluid from all contaminations , and by that means strengthen and invigorate the whole system , healthily stimulate sluggish organs , repress over-excited action , and establish order of circulation and secretion throughout every part of tho body . The balsamic nature of Holloway ' s Pills exercises
marvellous power in giving tone to debilitated and nervous constitutions . Tbese Pills dislodge all obstructions , both in the bowels and elsewhere , and are , on that account , much sought after for promoting regularity of action in young females and delicate persons , who are naturally weak , or have from some cause become so .
