PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

LEAH.

' This artistic drama was repeated last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre with remark able success, at least remarkable in the almost perfect realisation of the heroine of the piece, the persecuted Jewish maiden. \Ve have frequently seen Miss Bateman as __eah, and must acknowledge that Mrs Parrel] is equally gland in the splendid character Leah, displaying the same vigour the " love °f l°ve > the hate of hate, the scorn of scorn" of a soul eminently truthful. Mrs * Parrell is an actress of great power, as her great impersonation of Leah evidence?. This was the leading and only positive character in the piece, and we were not disappointed jn our expectations. The story of Leah is generally known, as it has occupied a position on the stage for more than twenty ' years. The language of the writer in many parts is exquisite, and most affecting in its influence, andgwhen delivered by such an elocutionist as Mrs Darrell, becomes still more effective. The scenery of Mr Kemp was also in strict keeping with the spirit of the play, and exhibits the artistic taste of the painter. Miss Clara Stephenson as the beautiful Annab, who becomes the wife of Rudolph (Mr Darrell) was highly successful, representing the graces and human charities which permeates the mind of a good Chris tian woman ; and the fine passages relating to the wanderers in the woods, and hei thonghtfulness for the apparently wanderers of an oppressed race, won the ear and well deserved applause of the crowded house. The intermediate p.srts, in which Messrs Sweeney, Bill, and Miss Patty Holt appeared, created a considerable amount of merriment, which acted favorably on the audience ; the drama literally being of a very serious, not to say essentially religious nature. A little laughter therefore is necessary to equalise the feelings. Hans vows he will go for a soldier, but his little Eose, (Miss Patty Holt) pokes fun at him which has the effect of turning his thoughts to more pleasing objects. The little bit of gag however about the legs, (which should have been omitted) seemed to suit the gods of the gallery, and caused a furore of mirth and stamping, but as it was acceptable, we presume it was all right. Miss Maggie Knight, as Karah, had but little to do but that little was well done. Mrs Jones as Dame Grosling was also amusing. Mr Aveling as the curate had but few opportunities of making a display of his abilities. Mr Sam Poole, however, as the Doctor, was full of life. Mr Hollo way, exemplified the character of Nathan, the renegade, with consummate skill. Mr Peer ing took the part of Father Abraham. This evening will be produced Lord Lytton's splendid play in five acts, the "Lady of Lyon*," perhaps the finest of all Bulwer's dramatic productions, in which Mrs Darrell will appear as Pauline, and Mr Darrell as Olaude Melnotte.

AN EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION AT BORDEAUX.

The correspondent of (he Medical Times and Gazette, writing from Bordeaux, says :— " The earth around one of the oldest churches in Bordeaux seems to have something pecu liarly antiseptic in its nature, so that the bodies buried during ages were converted into mummies. During some alterations at the beginning of this century these bodies were laid bare, and instead of being decently buried again, they were taken out of their resting-places, and ranged upright in a row round a crypt under the bell tower of the church of St. Michel. Here they constitute a disgusting and demoralising show, which is visi'el by crowds of people, and I am afraid that the clergy of the church are not ashamed to pocket the profits. A rough fellow with a candle on the end of a stick, such as they have in wine-cellars, e;oes round as showman. He taps and thumps the bodies to show that they are perfectly sound, tough like leather trunks, and not the least brittle. "See here, gentle men, is a very tall man ; see how powerful his muscles must have been, and what excel lent calves he has now ! The next is the body of a young woman. Remark the excel lent preservation of her chemise, though |it was buried 400 years ago ; and see I it; is trimmed with lace .' The next, gentleman, is a priest; you can see his soutane with the buttons on it. There is a woman with a dreadful chasm in her breast; she had a cancer. The next four are a family poisoned with mushrooms ; observe the contortions on their faces from the coligues they suffered. See next a very old man with his wig still awry upon his pale. The next is a poor miserable that wag buried alive. See how his head iB turned to one side and the body half turned round, in the frantic effort to get out of the coffin, with bis mouth open and gasping. [It ia quite true that the atti tude is singular, but it does not warrant the inference which the showman draws from it.] But enough of this dis gusting mercenary exhibition of the human body in its lowest state of humiliation. We are told by our clerical monitors that the burial of the dead is one of the seven corporal aces of mercy, inasmuch as it hides the inevitable offensivenesss and hideousness of dissolution. But if the guardians of consecrated sepulchres, in which people have paid an honest fee to be buried, are to dig them up and cart them off as in England, or make a Bhow of them as here, why I can only say that " cremation" will gain a good many converts. Any one would prefer being burned to the chance of being thus made a spectacle. So good, too, it must be for the rising population to take off the edge of any salutary horror they may feel at death and decay, or of reverence for the dead ! Really, if the clergy will not put down this exhibition, the police ought."

GARIBALDI AND GEN. BOURBAKI'S ARMY.

The report by the Committee of Inquiry on Garibaldi's expedition in 'the east of France, during the late war, has been distributed to the Deputies of the Assembly. The con clusions of the document are as follows:— " General Garibaldi did not even attempt to defend against the Prussians, for a day or even an hour, the passage of the mountains to the north of Dijon, the guard of which had been confided to him. Proofs are furnished notwithstanding the allegations of his staff, that he was informed mitutely of all the enemy, so that if he did not light, in spite of his promises, he abstained with a deliberate intention. Ricciotti, charged to watch the enemy, hastened to return to Dijon, when he learned for certain that General De Man tuefl.ll was bent to advance, and avoided, with great dexterity, a remaining in the defiles which he was to defend. In the next place. General Garibaldi kept the Government in the most complete ignorance of the events going on .around Dijoa. It is proved that he had at his dis posal sufficient means to impede the march of the enemy, or even stay, it, but he did nothing ; and the fact mnst be noted that a few days delay in the advance of General Manteuffel would have sufficed for the French army to have been placed out of danger. A French officer who had acted thus would certainly have been brought to trial. If Garribaldi had been a French General we should have asked you to send the report and the documents accompanying it to the Minister of War for consideration as to whether Garribaldi shoeld not be brought before a court-martial for having intentionally and without rightiDg abandoned to the enemy positions which he had received the mission to defend."

There is a great 100 scandal at the club here. A young man, a son of one of the members of the Club Committee, and a member himself recently, lost £100 to another at 100. The loser told his father, who thereupon, complained to the com mittee, and resigned himself. He also went to the Governor, Mho was supposed to have official influence over the winner, and com plained of his son being led into such things. 7 he Governor properly declined to interfere, the young man who had lost being quite old enough to take care of himself, and there being no imputation of unfair play. The Club Committee censured all the five players for breaking the rules forbidding gambling. One of the players was a high bank official. People question whether anything would have been heard of the matter if the man who lost had won. His conduct is repro bated. Difficulties of Coach Travelling.
