Gustav III, was re-named Anassandro Cheromo ; Charles XIII.was called Arlifilo Maratonio.Such an item of courtly news, contrasts oddly enough with the insecurity of royalty and its principal agents at the present moment; There is to be an International Exhibi tionoftbe carrier-piegons at Brusse's, in the course of the present month.All the Continental countries, have latterly been given much attention to the organizing of arrangements for ensuring a supply of carrier PIGEONS AVAILABLE FOR MILITARY PURPOSES in all the principal fortresses.It appears, from a recently-published return, that the matter was first taken In hand by the general staff of Russian army in 1874 when 88 pigeons were bought in Belgium and domiciled, in the first instance, in Warsaw.By May, 1875, the birds bad increased to over 200 ; and, on the first of January, 1878, the Russian military authorities possessed altogether 1,231 serviceable pigeons.During the prosent year this number has largely increased, and more have been, and will be, established as birds become available.Russia is not only adopting carrier pigeons ; the good station of the Nicholas Railway, at Moscow, is being fitted up with the Jablokhoff electric-lights.The building has hitherto been lighted with petroleum, costing the Company 25,000 roubles a year.The estimated cost and the electric lighting is much less in amount, and the lighting is very superior.The Russian Government has been ex-nerimenting with the \u201d Jablokoff electric candles\u201d (a lamp)at the Cronstadt forts, and is entirely satisfied with the results obtained.The success of the electric lights in illuminating tha Black Sea ports during the late war was, however, largely indebted to the magnificent reflectors employed ; and the Russian authorities are consequently giving as careful attention to the question of reflectore as to that of lights.The Russian colony in Baris, meantime, has been celebrating with much quiet enthusiasm, the return of St.George\u2019s Day, that Saint being tbs « Patron\u201d of Russia.There was a service at the Russian church, at which Prince Orlofl and all the Russian colony were present, and a considerable number of dinner-parties in the evening, in honour of the day.The leading Americans here have also had a dinner, at the sup' rb new \u201c Con-tiuental Hotel.\u201d The festal gathering was got up in honour ot Mr.McCormick, and insluded many of the leading notabilities of the defunct Exhibition as well as the principal individualities of the great Republic 6f the West.\u201d The American Minister, General Noyes, presided at the banquet, having the guest of the evening, Commissioner-General of the United States Section, on his right.Sir P.O.Owen, M.TUserenc de (.Bort.M.Krants being unable to attend, letters of regret from them were read.Tha Americans were in high spirits over the brilHant success of their section, as, in fact, they have a good right to be ; and the toasts and speeches were brilliant and complimentary, as was natural under the circumstances.The preparations for next year\u2019s INTERNATIONAL (EXHIBITION AT SYDNEY are going on with equal good-will and success.The French Government has just conferred the decoration of the legion of honour on the Hon.E.Combes, the Commissioner for New South Wales, and on Jules Joubert Esq., the Secretary to that commission.It has also placed on the estimates for the coming year the sum of 300,000 francs for the expenses of the French Section, and has promised to give to French exhibitors the services of a steam frigate for the transport of the splendid exhibits which are to represent the artistic and industrial achievements of France in he approaching antipodean \u201c high-tide.\u201d The gay world returns to Paris, now, that the French Parliament has modified iss times of siting, much earlier than it did under the empire.Large numbers of fashionables have already returned to their winter quarters in this gay and pleasant city ; and sweeping changes are believed to be preparing in the department of the feminine toilette on the arrival of the New Year, the principal of these being the abolition of the scanti-ness and violent tying behincledness that has become so ridiculous, not to use a harsh word.It is so thoroughly determined by the leaders of \u201c fashion,\u201d and by the leading dressmakers THAT \u201c SCABBARDS \u201d ARE TO BE REPLACED BY FULLNESS, that ladies who are about to purchase winter cloaks will do well to bear this little fact in mind.The little bonnets that have been iu favour, stuck in the boddice of a fashionable dress, are also to be done away with, and to be replaced by two little curled ends of ostrich feather ; these feathers are mere tips, which droop over each other, and are noi to be turned outwards.The fashionable hue for these ostrich.tips is \u201c port-wine stain the flowers most in favour are silver thistle-down and scabious.Fringes are very rich and in hiph favour.\u201c Shavings\u201d are of crimped tape ; \u201c grass fringe\u201d is made of crimped silk lacet and tape combined ; there are \u201c whalebone fringe, chenille without heading, \u201c Scotch fringe\u201d repeating all the colours, in satin, of the tartans it trims1 and a mere fringe called \u201c sealskin,\u201d made of chenille with a satin ball at the end of each strand.Ribands are striped, brocaded, embroidered with gold, and watered-repped ribande bave just appeared, also pale grounds on which stands out a fluffy and peacock\u2019s eye in feathers ; the eye, being light, stirs with every movement of the wearer and gives lightness of effect to a dress.Black lace, with gold thread tracery is another novelty, with which is worn a bone of reversible black satin and gold.The newest buttons are iridescent.Collars and cufis of coloured embroidery are in great favour, a ruche of crape lisse, plain or embroidered, or trimmed with beads, is worn with them.Among the fancy-costume already in preparation for Christmas-parties, are tho Artie Maiden, Rowena, Den, Witch, Fairy Godmother, Poor Orphan, Ranee of Bengal, and Queen Blanche.The absence of ice thick enough to skate upoa, which has characterised Par-sian winters ever since the foundarion of the Skating Club (which has never yet succeeded in giving its long-projected night fete on its beautiful pond in tho Bois de Boulogne,)®fias come to bp looked on as a settled matter, and we hear little nowadays of the lavish preparations, in the way of SLEDGES AND SKATING COSTUMES which were made, every year under the Empire, by wealthy Russians and Americans, in anticipation of the snow and ice that always remained conspicuous by their absence.Sledges having thus receded from the imagination of this capital, those who would fame have sported a sledge console themselves for not being able to do so by indulging in other vehicular novelties, the latest of which is the new vehicle in which Queen Isabella has just startled Paris by driving out, drawn by eight splendidly ! caparisoned mules.The rumour that her son was about to marry the elder sister of his late lamented Queen is denied, the young King being declared to be still too much absorbed in his sorrow for her loss to be capable of thinking of taking another wife.The Princess in question is seven years older than King Alfonso ; but the danger of a renewal of the Montpenseriet intrigues from which the Peninsula was temporarily delivered by the union of the son of Isabel Segunda with the daughter of her sister, may not improbably lead, in course of time, to the alliance which is just now being declared not to be en the tapis.A son of a notoriety of a former generation, viz.Armand Fouche, Duke ef Otranto, second son of the celebrated Minister of Police under the first Empire, has just died in Stockholm, aged 78.Although domiciled in Sweden, where tie was aide-de-camp to King Charles XIY.he preserved his French nationality.He was a bachelor, and his title now passes to the third son of the former Minister, who has always remained in France, The Italian Opera-house is about to be sold to a large Insurance Company, which has agreed to pay £66,000 for the building, and will establish its office# there.No one of the many changes which have done so much towards, 6 improving \u201d old Paris \u201c OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH \u201d will have done more to change the socia and artistic aspect of this capital than the disappearance from its lists of theatrical entertainments of the repertory oî\u201c Les Italiens,\u201d with the long and brilliant succession of artistes, hitherto unrivalled, whose glory is so intimately associated with the Italian Opera of the Place, Favart, Sontag, Malibran.Grisi, Mario, Lablache, Paganini, Bottesini, among the Royalties of the stage, and Rossini, among the immortal# ef the Musical Art, seem# almost to be part and parcel of the building about to be turned to so widely different a purpose\u2019 The Châtelet Theatre is giving a series of lyrical concerts, on Sunday afternoons, that are among the \u201c successes \u201d of the time.Berlioz much debated oratorio.\u201c The Damnation ef Faust,\u201d has been attracting large and appreciative audiences for some months past, it has now been withdrawn, though still successful, to maka way for another dramatic oratorio, the \u201c Paradise Lost,\u201d by M.Thoedore Dubois, .which at the competition instituted, last year, by the Municipality of Paris, for the encourage-ment of lyric art, shared the First Prize with M.R.Godard\u2019s Tasso.M.Dubois is a young composer who succeeded M.Saint-Saëns as organist at the Madeleine, when that locally famous Chapel-Master, voluntarily relinquished the post held by him.He is also a Professor of Harmony at the Conservatory.The difficulties of such a subject, as a theme for music,'are too evidently great to need pointing out; it is highly to the Composer\u2019s honour that he has not been cm-bed by the mighty magnificence of Milton\u2019s great poem, more fortunate than Felicien David, wdiose Eden, produced at the old opera house, under the same conditions, met with only moderate success, though containing many beauties, M.Blan, author .of the libretto of the new rendering of Milton\u2019s vast imaginary, by exhibiting, in the first two acts of the drama, the rebellion and chastisment of the fallen angels, has imported into the work an element of variety that was wanting in Felicien Davids composition.Confined te the situations indicated by the poem itself the first part of the oratorio\u2014with the exception of the instrumental introduction and a \u201c Chorus of of Seraphim \u201d -\u2014is somberer.The scene of the Second Part is Milton's Hell, the opening chorus expresses the sufferings of the damned,\u201d and when Satan summons his \u201c demons \u201d around him to resist, loud blasts of trumpets distributed about the orchestra produce a very grand affect.The air sung by Satan, in describing bis scheme ill' ¦ 1442 79 5478^268 AHMTKEAL m: i A L ij ANB BAIL'?COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1878' for spoiling the new creation of the Almighty and destroying the happiness of the human creatures whose appearance on the scene of existence had excited his jealousy, to so ferocious a pitcn, is one of the finest things\tJ ^ innocent some sweetness finely In the third part A Gantabile, to give an earthly Paradise and the two new beings placed in it, contain passages of exquisite rendered by violins DEPICTING EDEN the music is light, AKD ITS inmates.airy, graceful, and cheerful ; the instrumental io rîreâinv* snd very # the awakening of Adam from his 8 eep.lovely duett sung by him and his who is said to lean very much more to the ritualistic view of Anglicanism than Mr.Fortin does.If this doctrinal or ceremonial question really enters into the controversy, it gives it another, and, in some respects, introduction beautiful.At a new the scene imagined by Milton.Violent and stormy music, of much musical grandeur, pourtrays the _ troubles that fell on the disobedient pair through the eating of the fatal apple ; the rejoicing of Satan in the success of his ruse ; the terror and distress of the unhappy culprits, and the supplications of Adam and Eve when they are being driven out of their happy home.Then is heard beautifnl movement, in the midst of which a eelestial voice, supposed to be that of the Saviour, announces that, at the appointed time, he will decend upon the earth to accomplish the redemption of the human race.The divine promise is expressed in a majestic recitative, the solemn beauty of which is heightened by an effective accompaniment of harps The execution of this oratorio is exceeding fine ; the instrumental performance is absolutely perfect.The deep, full, ex-presive baritone of M.Lanwers is well adapted to the part of Satan ; the soprano of the new English prima donna, Miss Jenny Howe, and the rich, sweet tenor of M.Furst, rendered very happily the parts of our \u201c first parents.\u201d The Tasso which shared the honours of the First Prize with Paradise Lost, will shortly be performed in the series of Sunday Concerts in question.The Pope, who is believed to have no great afiection for the Jesuits, and who is not disposed to tolerate their meddling in matters concerning the government of the Catholic Church, especially in France and Belgium, has issued secret but very severe instructions, absolutely forbidding them to interfere in diocesan affairs.They were admonished to observe their rule and to do nothing outside their convents without the authorization of their Bishops.Leo XIII seems steadily desirous of bringing about a more amicable state of things between the VATICAN AND THE CIVIL GOVEHNMENTg.of Europe, he is said to be preparing a sort of address to all the Sovereigns adjuring them to make common-cause with one another, and with the Holy See, in defence of the principles of Conservative order and in view of the dangerous programme of the \u201c Internation-lists.\u201d I he Pope sent a telegram of Congratulation to the King of Italy after the late attempt on his life, assuring his Majesty that he implored for him the protection and blessing of the Almighty ; to all of which the King at once replied in friendly and respectful terms.Garibaldi who sent a telegram of felicitations to Signor Cairoli, has just sent, to a young Sicelian the following curious message,published by the Dovere, the Republican organ of Borne :\u2014\u201c The future of the world is Republican ; say this aloud to the youth of Sicily.For the presene, it is well to sustain the Cairoli Cabinet.\u201d From which somewhat dubious advice it would appear that the old hero, whose republican sympathies are well known, counts on the gentleness of the programme hitherto acted upon by the Cairoli Cabinet to conduct Italy to the Republic.The sympathies'of the vast majority of the well-to-do classes in the Italian Peninsula are unmistakably in favour of CONSTITUTIONAL MONABCHY under the dynasty of Savoy; but the poorer classes,\u2014always the greas majority of the population of a country\u2014are so miserably ground down by one another, by the astoundingly low rate of wages, by want, ignorance, habits of brutality, and general misery, that some violent upheaving, it is feared, may break out in that country before long.Should such a movement occur, on a lagge scale in Italy or in any other of the .continental States, it may be safely predicted that it would be the signal of similar upheavings in all ; with what result, it would hardly be safe to attempt to prophesy.Meantime, the Duke of Connaught, at Berlin, assisted by the British Minister at the German Court has got up a Committee for collecting funds in aid of the poor Heligoland fisherman whose boats were lost m the late terrific gale.The 80 barges thus destroyed represented a value of £5,090 ; and it is intended to raise this sum for the relief of these poor people by private subscriptions.The preparations for the strange marriage of the old dissolute roue, the King of Holland, with the pretty, accomplished, and charming 20 year old Princess-Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont, are going merrily forward.The wedding,is to take place at the Chateau of Arolsen, the habitation of the family of the bride : a handsome residence, standing in remarkably beautiful grounds.The numerous brothers and sisters of the Queen-elect are said to be greatly delighted at the idea of he coming grandeur.NEW BOOKS serious aspect, because it will exhibit the Bishop in the attitude of employing his office to foster those pretensions of sacerdotal and spiritual superiority over laymen, which have lately become fashionable among a large portion of the clergy.Congregations have certainly great right to insist that clergymen, whom they desire for pastors, shall not be excluded because they do not use dresses and practice genuflexions and teach doctrines, none of which were heard of in their communion thirty years agOi The toleration which the innovators claim, when they can make their views acceptable to congregations, would seem to be at least as reasonably demanded by those who want only to stand upon the old paths\u2014old and well established in their remembrances and affections, and not old in the sense of an antiquity which renders everything about them disputable, and nothing certain.Even if that question does not enter into the quarrel, why should the Bishop object to a clergyman in good standing, who enjoys the suffrages of a Congregation.The law requires congruity at some point between the parishioners and the Bishop in the choice to be made ; and common sense would find in the reason of things, upon what points respectively each party should be called to exercise a judgment.The parishioners should be allowed a preference for a candidate, whose pulpit and other ministrations are found to be edifying.But the appreciation of these popular gifts by them should not be an excuse for allowing the appointment of a man of evil life, or unsound doctrine measured by the accepted standard.Who should have the first word, and who the final veto, may be a grave question in law ; but in common sense it ought never to arise.The people of one parish ought not to be able to force upon the body of the church one against whom any serious objections lie.On the other hand, the Bishop ought not to prevent the people from having such a clergyman\u2014he being in good standing\u2014as they may themselves approve.This business of barred church doors and suits in the Courts about ecclesiastical questions ought to be as distasteful to people who respect their religious organizations as they are ridiculous to sensible observers from outside.If they continue, it will, we suspect, lead to a great deal of practical Congregationalism.Whatever respect may be felt for the episcopal office, when exercised for a reasonable object, we do not believe that Protestant congregations of any class in Canada will submit to be over-ridden by authority, and in virtue of mere statutory dispositions in respect to matters which concern Ifoutra!

CHURCH.If the Ohureh of England, as incorporated by law in this Dominion, is to hold its own, the Bishops will have t® respect, not only the rights, but the wishes of the people more than A Toronto seems to be doing in the case of the Bowmanville Church.It appears that the living being vacant, the con-gregation desired to have it conferred on the Rev.Mr.Fortin, a French Canadian Episcopal clergyman, well known in the Diocese of Montreal of unblemished character and considerable ability as a preacher.The Bishop, however, insists that they shall accept another clergyman of his appointment, Cyprus \u2014 Historical and Descriptive from the Earliest Times to the Present Day.Published by R.Worthington : Broadway, N.Y.Drys-dale & Co.: St.James street.Is the title of a very interesting work adapted by Mrs.A.Batson Joyner, from the German of Franz Von Loher.Mrs.Joyner has presenttd in a delightful manner a great deal of interesting information, useful to students, to antiquaries, and others on this now famous and classic isle.The sudden interest created by recent political events in everything relating to Cyprus, which, from its geographical position, seems destined to play no unimportant part in modern history, will render the appear-auee of this adaptation of Herr Von Loher\u2019s narrative of his recent journey-ings throughout the length and breadth of that country extremely welcome.The book is beautifully illustrated with two maps of reference and seventeen outs of the principal towns, monuments, churches, and other points of interest on the island.Cookery and Kitchen Management is the title of a well written and interesting book on cookery matters by Miss Juliet Corson, Superintendent of the New York Cooking School.It is full of good advice upon the highly important subjects of eating and cooking.There is no better authority than Miss Corson on such subjects, and what she has to say will be found practical and to the point.She shows how cheap and good meals may be prepared just what they consist of, and their exact cost.In addition, she presents a list of bills of fare for one week.Economy, we have been long assurad.is

Philadelphia Ledger:\u2014 Tils play ,s one ol the most powerful of the author\u2019s works.Sardou has given us many plijs, but none so interesting as that of \u201c Diplomacy.\u201d From the first act to the last the interest increases.The plot is strong aud well woven, and it was well presented.Both the play and the Company were fully appreciated by the audience.This was attested by the fact that at the end of each act the performers were called before the curtain, and once during the play they were obliged to respond to two calls.The plot of the piece turns upon the unsuccessful attempts of a woman, who is desperately in love, to turn the affections of the man she loves from tbe lady he has married.There are several fine scenes iu the play for every one of the characters.The piece is not written to give all the good points to one, but each shares in the good parts.The acting of Fred Warde, Maurice Ba-rymore, Signor Majeroni, and H.Rees Davies was excellent, that of the former especially.Signora Majeroni made a good impression, tbe Italian accent of herself and husband adding to rather than detracting from the performance.Miss George Drew, who took the part of the injured wife, was all that could be asked of her ; in fact every part was well cast.The dressing of the ladies was superb, each one appearing in several elegant costumes during the play.A more satisfied and pleased audience never left the theatre.\u201d Amusements, Hem AcUn-tiscments.I 21cm jArlwevtlscments A-C^-DIBJMLY OF MLUSiO LAST PERFORMANCE THIS (THURSDAY) EVENING of Planohe\u2019s Extr ivaganza,

Brantford Daily Expositor hits the nail on the head in regard to the policy of the Conservative party in their dealings with members of the Civil Service, especially those appointed by a Reform Government.It remarks:\u2014\u201c \u2018To the victors belong the \u2018 spoils\u201d is a maxim which appears to \u201c be acted upon by the Tory party at \u201c the present time with a vengeance.\u201c At Ottawa the heads are going off \u201c here, there, and everywhere, to make \u201c pay for the hungry office-seekers of \u201c Toryism.The wave has even reached \u201c Brantford, the inspector of the works \u201c for the new post-office, having re-\u201c ceived his \u2018 notice to quit \u2019 this morn-\u201c ing.Of course nothing better could \u201c be expected from the John A.party.\u201c Office was the only thing they wanted, \u201c in order that they and their friends \u201c might fatten at the country\u2019s ex-\u201c pense, and This appears to be about \u201c the only spirit which animates them \u201c in the administration of public af-\u201c fairs.At this rate we will have the \u201c American system in full blast.In \u201c the eyes of the faithful a Reformer \u201c cannot possibly be competent to at-\u201c tend to business on behalf of the \u2022\u2018Government.Only the supporters of \u201c the National Policy have any gifts \u201c worthy of recognition by the Right ,\u2018 Hon.Sir John Humbug.\u201d A PLEASING DELUSION.In a short article under this title the Boston He aid summarily disposes of some statemems which United States papers, especially those welded to Protection, are never tired of making.The Herald says : Everybody knows, for the protectionist journals never weary in telling us, that American manufactures have been fostered by a kindly tariff t® indisputable supremacy in quantity, as well as to matchless cheapness, when their excellence is taken into account.As a consequence of this double superiority, they are rapidly driving the inferior goods of the English out of the common foreign market, and are even gaining a secure and widening foothold among the consumers of Great Britain.American cutlery is at home on the shelves of Sheffield.American cottons crowd the counters not only of London and Liverpool, but of Manchester itself.Tbe picture is pleasing in every aspect.But we greatly fear that it is painted in rose colour.The official summary of the foreign trade of the United States, for the first nine months of the current c ilendar year, lies before us, and we search it in vain for any evidence that the great protected manufactures are making rapid progress in outside markets.No doubt, on the surface, the figures of the summary confirm the popular idea.The domestic exports of the United States for nine months iu 1878 reach the unprecedented total of $523,-458,025 gold value, against $417,185,418 gold value for the corresponding months in 1877.Here is an increase of $106,272,607 in the gold value of the domestic exports during three-quarters of the current year.That is a marvellous and glorious exhibit ; but the increase in its entirety stands to the credit of the great na tu-ral industries and productions of the country.It is made up of cotton and provisions, as the following table will show :\u2014 Increase of Exports in 1878.Cotton.$21,938,677 Breadstuffa.\t67,258,404 Provisions.13,063^703 Living Animals.5,560,904 Total inerease.$106,811,778 These four classes of produce, which are affected by the tariff only to their prejudice, account for all the increase in the export trade, and even for $569,171, beyond the total augmentation.Really, there does not appear to be a great deal of room left for the swift growth of the foreign trade in American manufactures, of which we have been hearing so much.Gone fob Them \u2014Some sixteen of the delinquent guarantors of the Hanlan-Courtney boat race, having failed to pay up, the Committee have, after giving plenty of

DINNERS FOR THE POOR.THE ST.GEORGE\u2019S SOCIETY.On the afternoon of Christmas Eve the St.George\u2019s Home was crowded with the poor and unfortunate sons and daughters of Old England, all thankful and grateful to benefit by the liberality of the St.George\u2019s Society.There were present, superintending ithe distribution, Mr.John Kerry, President of the Society, Mr.Bauden, Mr.Stroud, and Mr.J.F.Kidner.The Yery Rev.Dean Bond, Bishop-elect, was present, and addressed a few words to the applicants.He said the Society was endeavouring to follow the example of our Lord in feeding the hungry, and urged those receiving to use their efforts to make these around them happy.He asked their prayers for the Society, which would more than repay tbe efforts expended on their behalf.In conclusion he wished them all a very happy Christmas.The room was handsomely decorated with flags and evergreens, and each applicant on entering the room was given a number.As each number was called, its holder gladly responded \u201chere,\u201d and went forward into the inner room,'where the basket was filled with beef, lamb or a plump turkey, according to the number of the family.One bale old Englishman, a pensioner, aged 93 years, was sent away loaded, and being unable to carry the basket was sent home in a sleigh by a gentleman at tbe Home.The tales of some of those relieved were really pitiful.One poor woman, very poorly clad, said that her husband was out of employment for a long time.When asked how they managed to live, she answered, like many others, \u201c The best way we can.\u201d The faces of little children who had come to bear the luxuries were brightened as they took up their well-filled baskets and started homeward.It had been announced that, owinglto the limited means of the Society it would have to restr ct the donations to the English poor, and that those of other nationalities would he looked after by their respective societies.Notwithstanding this there were many besides English who entered tbe room and declared themselves to be Englishmen, but on opening their mouths betrayed themselves, and with a regret that the Society could not afford to give to all they were referred to tbe Irish Protestant Benevolent Society.The number of persons supplied, 232 ; number of persons in families of above, 740 ; total, 972.These all had a good roast of beef, lamb, or fine turkey (the turkeys weighing from 10 to 16 lbs.), 6 lbs.of flour, 6 lbs.of oatmeal, with rasins, currants, suet, tea, sugar, bread, and wood.Two policemen were present to keep order and prevent crushing, and at near seven at night the last of the crowd was sent away loaded with good Christmas cheer.Many a poor Englishman\u2019s home yesterday was made glad by this timely coming to their aid of their more fortunate countrymen.On the same day, THE IRISH PROTESTANT BENEVOLENT SOCIETY\u2019S HALL was also beseiged with the destitute class of Irish Protestants, and not a few Catholics, and none were refused, Christmas cheer, there were several ladies and gentlemen kept busy distributing to their necessities.Though not an annual distribution, the number of those aided was very much larger than usual.As usual, each applicant was questioned as to his or her family, and distribution of bread and provisions was made accordingly.Those aided gratefully acknowledged the bounty and withdrew.THE GENERAL HOSPITAL provided as usual all the patients that were convalaseent a regular old Christmas dinner, and the little children in the institution were not forgotten by many kind ladies.At all tbe other Protestant charitable institutions Christmas cheer was provided for the inmates.The following Notes, made to our order endorsed by ourselves, have been Lost :\u2014

AMUSEMENTS.The ACADEMY OF MUSIC, matinee yesterday was well at- tended by ladies and children and each and all were delighted with the performance.In the evening the house was packed from orchestra to dome.There was hardly a seat vacant.The extravagrnza passed off with marked success, an improvement being specially observable in the working of the machinery.Mr.and Mrs.McDowell, as usual, entered into their parts with spirit and were repeatedly greeted with loud applause.The scene in which Beauty is introduced to the Beast was cleverly performed, the contrast between the uncouth appearance and motions of the Prince transformed into Bruin, the contending emotions of astonishment and dread exhibited by the heroine, the absurdly laughable by-play of ex-Lord-Mayer Pump is clerk John Quill, whose love for Freeman\u2019s mock turtle, drown every other sentiment.Mile.Bonfanti, the Queen of the Ballet, surpassed all the expectations raised by her reputation in the United States and Europe.She dances with the ease and grace of a Taglioni, and illicited outbursts of applause.The poetry of motion was never better explained.The Olintop sisters were able supports to her, and tbe trio are tbe finest ballet dancers we have seen for a long time.They are certainly a strong acquisition to the company.Miss Newcomb and Mrs.Allan left nothing to be desired in their roles of the jeaieous sisters, the Lorilla brothers in their apparently dislocating feats and extraordinary tumbbng, and Turner and Lawton in their negro eccentricities were very amusing.They showed a desire last night to be a little vulgar, which will not do with a refined audience.Mr.Gibbons in bis balancing feats on the trapeze was a great success.The extravaganza will be played for the last time this evening, and on Friday Mr.and Mrs.McDowell take a benefit, when the \u201c Field of the Cloth of Gold \u201d will be produced with all the gorgeous scenery and an immense company.The celebrated Warde and Barrymore\u2019s combination will appear at this house on Tuesday next.The Company will give Sardou\u2019s powerful and interesting play of \u201c Diplomacy,\u201d in which, as a Company, they are

when he left he track for the night, his score being 205 miles.At this time O\u2019Leary was 16 miles ahead and still walking.Campana says if his leg is all right to-morrow he will run 125 miles.O\u2019Leary expects to cover 100 miles to-morrow.Since the 100 mile walking match be-tweeuMiss May Marshall, of Chicago, and Dan Carroll, of Warren, Pa., the judges have decided agriust Miss Marshall on account of a foul, and have given the match to Carroll, although they found he had not walked 100 miles, being one lap behind, ond having left the track when Miss Marshall did.AQUATICS.HAWDON AND HANLAN MATCHED FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS.It is not often that we have to record the ratification of such an interestino\u2019 and important sculling match as that which was arranged in Newcastle yesterday.It will be remembered that at the race between Hawdon and Lumsden, on the 11th inst.John Bright, of the\u2019 Mushroom, offered to find aman to row the Délavai sculler for £200 a side, and at the same time stated that he would neither have William Elliott, of Blyth, the present champion, Robert Watson Boyd, of Gateshead, nor John Higgins, of Shadwell, to represent him.James\u2019 Percy, who has persistently supported Hawdon for all his important eng1 ge-ments, requested to be made acquainted w\u2019th the name of the man that the Délavai pitman was called upon to meet, and Bright at once stated that he was authorized to make a match for Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada to row the Tyne sculler in May next.Persy accepted the offer, and to the en gagement £10 a side was posted in lour hands,fa meeting being fixed to be held yesterday afternoon, at the Newcastle .Chronicle office, to draw up and sign articles.Percy and Bright' duly attended, and during a portion of the proceedings Mr.phristoptier Barrass was also present.The first point to crop up for discussion was as to whether Hanlan was to be allowed any sum as expenses for rowing upon the Tyne.Bright thought that in asking that something should be allowed to the Canadian he was only requesting that which was customary.Percy, however, replied that Hanlau was coming to this country under any circumstances, and he could not, therefore, grant anything as expenses.For a time Bright held out for the point, but he ultimately waved it, and the proceedings afterward were conducted in a thoroughly business like manner, and with the best of good feeling.The date for the match is Monday, May 5 next ; but, in order that the merits of the men may he fairly put to the test, power is given to the referee, if the river should prove rough on that day, to postpone the race from day to day until smooth water is obtained.The terms and conditions by which the contest is to be governed are of the usual character, but it will be compulsory upon both competitors to row through the second arch of Redheugh Bridge.A copy of the agreement is subjoined: Newcastle-on-Tyne, l\\ov.18,1878.Articles of agreement entered into this day between John Hawdon, of Délavai, and Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada, who hereby agree to row a straightaway scullors\u2019 race on the Tyne, in best and best boats, from the Mansion House to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, on Monday, May 5, 1879, for the sum of £200 (two hundred pounds) aside.The men to start from, two boats, moored thirty yards apart, one hour before high water, according to the ABC tide table, on the day named.The starting points to be moored to the satisfaction of the referee, before tossing for choice of stations, and the race to be rowed according to such of the new Thames rules of boat racing as are applicable.To start by mutual consent, but if not started within fifteen minutes of the time above fixed the referee shall ttart them by signal or otherwise.The first deposit of £50 a side is now in the hands of the sporting editor of the Newcastle Daily Chronicle, who is hereby appointed final stakeholder.The second deposit of £50 a side to he posted with the sporting editor of the Newcastle Daily Chronicle before nine p.m, on Monday, February 10, 1879, and the final deposit of £100 a side to be posted with the sporting editor of the Newcastle Daily Chronicle between six and seven p.m.on Friday, May 2, 1879.The referee to be chosen at the final deposit ;
