M 08 EVJI of Ornauotal Art. — The Museum Marl* 
borough-house will be re-opened on Monday next. During 
the recess tliCBpeoimens have been re-arrauged, and consider- 
able additions have been made. The collection of arms from 
the Royal armoury at Windsor will continue to be exhibited. 
An alteration has been made in the days of admission. In 
future the Museum will be opened on Saturdays, which will 
ho free days, instead of Tuesdays. This chaugo has beeu 
made chiefly with the view of enabling tho schools in the 
metropolis to send their students to visit the Museum ou 
tho afternoons of Saturday. 
Discovery of Human Remains. — During the last two 
days a large quantity of human remains have been discovered 
by tho workmen employed in excavating the site of two 
houses on the south side of Long-lane, Smithfield. From 
old recco-ds there is no doubt that this formed part of the 
burial-ground of the ancient monastery, as a great number of 
human remains have been found ou pulling down other 
houses in the vicinity, as well as five or six stone coffins, one 
of which is in the possession of Mr. Palmer, the late church- 
warden of that parish. Nothing but dust was fouud in the 
coffins. On the north side of the boundary wall, through 
which the new sewer is now being made, formerly plaguo- 
pits were formed, and upwards of 60,000 persons interred ; 
adjneeut to which Bishop Stratford enclosed apiece of land 
with a brick wall, on which bo built a chapel, aud named it 
tho Pardon-churohynrd. Hero also suicides and persons who 
had been executed were buried ; and iu Smithfield the re- 
mains of martyrs who were burnt at the stake were found 
during the formation of the sewer through Smithfield. 
Crystal Palace, Sept. 23. — Five Shilling Day. — Ad- 
mission at the doors, 103 ; by season tickets, 1,01 4 ; total, 
1,167. 
Rise in TnE Price op Bread. — On Wednesday a great 
number of tho bakers iu the metropolis increased the price 
of their bread a halfpenny the 41b. loaf. In the poor and 
deusely-populated localities the ordinary price among the 
aheap linkers is now 7|d. for what is termed “best wheaten 
bread," and for ‘'good wheaten bread," or " seconds," it is a 
halfpenny less ; but where competition among the bakers is 
keen, the former quality is frequently to be bad for 7d. the 
41b. loaf. Other bakers are selling their bread at various 
prices, up to 9Jd. the 41b. loaf. The corn-chaudlers aro selling 
their flour at from 2s. fid. to 3a. per peck of 141bs.

A DELPHI. — This theatre goes on as swimmingly as ever, 
and therefore no change In the performances since the open- 
ing night has been found necessary. The drama of the 
“ Discarded Son " grows in favour on each representation; 
the excellent acting of Mrs. Keeley, Miss Woolgar, Messrs. 
Leigh Murray, Keeley, Selby, and Paul Bedford, developed 
as it D by the capital construction of the piece, could not 
fall to produce any other result. Mr. Moms Barnett, in the 
character of Monsieur Jacques, has won "golden opinions" 
from crowded audiences. In referring to this revival, we 
cauuot rofraiu from saying a word or two in praise of the feel- 
iug and taste shown by Miss Woolgar iu her impersonation of 
Nina, the old Frenchman's daughter. The part itself, though 
not of groat importance, is rendered by this versatile and clever 
actress one of the most interesting features in the piece, aud 
with ho powerful an auxiliary it is not much a subject for 
wonderment that Mr. Barnett has brought the little drama 
of " Monsieur Jacques" triumphantly off. The farce of 
“ Capers and Coronets’’ is in preparation for this actor. 
The burlesque of “ Norma” winds up the evening’s enter- 
tainments with n hearty roar. Paul Bedford is as riant and 
racy as ever, aud is iu full pipe, doing ample justice to 
Bellini's strains. Miss Woolgar, as Pollio, aud Mr. J. Rogers, 
as A delgisa, make the cast a strong one. 
Turkish Museum, Hyde-park. Corner. — Tho exhibition 
at Hyde-park Comer continues to attract all the fashionables 
still left or arriving in town. On Thursday it was honoured 
with a visit from the French ambassador and Countess 
Walewski, also the Portuguese minister, Count Lavradio, and 
bis lady. 
Royal Panopticon of Science and Art. — On Thursday, 
at the fourth annual meeting of the proprietors of this 
institution, a dividend of .£1 percent, was declared on the 
paid-up capital, out of tho nett receipts for the three months 
ending the 30th June last, being at the rate of four per 
cent, per annum. It was stated that the finances were 
in an improving condition, aud that arrangements were 
being made to reduce the mortgage debt from £20,000 to 
£12,000. Mr. Clark, the late general manager, had been 
granted by the council a pension of £300 a year, and was 
succeeded by the Rev. Dr. Biber, whose salary had been 
fixed at £500 per annum, and a commission ou the nett 
profits set aside for dividend, &c. The chairman stated that 
all the liabilities of the concern had beeu provided for, all 
the shares taken up. aud that the institution would re-open 
on Monday next, with such attractions as would be sure to 
draw large assemblies of those interested iu science and art. 
Garrison Theatricals. — The amateurs (non-commissioned 
officers and privates) of the 3rd Buffs, stationed iu this town, 
have given some theatrical representations during the last 
month with very considerable success. Already four pieces 
have been played, the last, ou Tuesday evening, entitled the 
“ Golden Farmer," was pretty well rendered, aud the various 
characters sustained with tolerable ability. A number of 
civilians were present, and seemed to relish the amusements 
provided for them, which, on the whole, were of a most 
agreeable character . — Newry Telegraph. 
Birmingham.— Madame Celeste aud Mr. Webster have 
arrived here from Hull, and are playing to more crowded 
bouses than have beeu seen for years. 
Theatre-royal, Hull. — Mr. Webster and Madame 
Celeste.— This beautiful theatre, iu II umber-street, has been 
nightly the receptacle of numerously-attended audiences, 
assembled to witness the performances of these world-wide 
celebrities, Mr. Benjamin Webster, lessee, and Madame 
Celeste, directress, of the well-known Adelphi. On Monday 
evening Madame Celeste appeared iu Buckstone’s masterpiece, 
the drama of the “Green Bushes; or, a Hundred Years 
Ago;" herself performing the character of Miami, the 
huntress of the Mississippi, and as a necessary sequence, that 
of Madame St. Aultcrt also. This talented lady’s acting 
throughout was marked with grace, ease, and dignity, and at 
the close of her performances she was summoned before the 
curtain amidst the loud plaudits of the house. Mrs. Ray- 
mond. a neat lively little actress, was an efficient representa- 
tive of Nelly O'Neil, the late Mrs. Fitzwil Ham's celebrated 
character; and Mr. It. Ross an excellent Muster Grinnidge. 
After the drama, Mr. Benjamin Webster appeared as Cap- 
tain Saint Sonde, uud Madiuue Celeste as Helen de Mqntcrcau, 
in the amusing comedy of » Flying Colours, or Crossing the 
Frontier. On Tuesday, and the two following evening? 
Mr. Webster and Madame Celeste appeared in a round of 
favourite characters, and they will make their last appear- 
ance this evening. — Hull Packet. 
Accident at the Queen's Theatre, Glasgow.— O n 
Saturday night, while the performers in tho Queen's Theatre 
were performing the " Courier of Lyons" for the first time, 
one of the company, named Beaumont Hughes, wua severely 
wounded in tho hand by the accidental discharge of a pistol 
he had iu his possession. The performance was, in conse- 
quence, suddenly brought to a close for the evening. — North 
British Daily Mail. 
Death of Mrs. Warner. — The demise of this celebrated 
and respected actress took place on Sunday last. She had 
been suffering during many months under cancer in the breast, 
and her friends were therefore fully prepared for the melan- 
choly event. Indeed, her living so long, under such circum- 
stances, caused considerable astonishment to her medical 
attendants. Mrs. Warner must have been about fifty years 
of age. She was a native of Ireland, and her career in 
London is too well known to require any lengthened 
notice. Who can ever forget her magnificent embodiment 
of the part of J oan of Arc, in the drama of that name — 
of Rachel, in the gorgeous spectacle of “ The Jewess," on 
the boards of Old Drury ? She also performed several 
important characters in the plays of Shakespere with 
great success at our principal theatres, and was generally 
respected for her artistic abilities, no less than for her 
moral worth. It is rather a curious circumstance, that 
death should have followed so shortly after her benefit at 
Sadler’s Wells. The same incident occurred in the cases of 
Mrs. Glover and poor Kenny. It is a pleasing task to dwell 
upon this talented lady's career. Her maiden name was 
Huddart; in fact, she was the daughter of Mr. Huddart, tho 
celebrated tragedian, who mode so successful a debut at Old 
Drury but a few nights before the first appearance of the 
late Edmund Kean, This was in January, 1814. Miss 
Huddart, at the age of fourteen, made her first public 
appearance on the stage. The theatre ohosen was that at 
Woolwich; and there, in March, 1818, she played the 
character of Edward J la crop, tho boy in Soane’s melo- 
drama of “ The Innkeeper's Daughter.” The other per- 
formances ou the occasion were “ The Wonder," in 
which the debutante's father played Don Felix, aud 
Mrs. Alsop, the daughter of Mrs. Jordan, came down from 
Drury Lane specially to sustain the part of Violante. In the 
"Innkeeper’s Daughter," Mrs. Alsop also played Mary, and 
the rolcot Richard was enacted by Mr. Montague, the father of 
the present Mrs. Compton. During Mr. Huddart’s engagement 
at the Surrey Theatre under the management of Mr. T. 
DibcUn, Miss Huddart did not re appear. Her next perform- 
ance was at Bristol, then managed by Mr. Maoready, the 
father of the present eminent tragedian. From Bristol Miss 
Huddart went to Lynn, and thence to Dublin, of which city 
her maternal grandfather was once Lord Mayor. Here she 
acquired considerable reputation as a tragic actress, and took 
that high station in the profession which she for so many 
years sustained aud even increased. 
Death. — On the 26th inst., at his residence, 45, Newington- 
place, Kemaington, Mr. Edward Cross, late of the Surrey 
Zoological Gardens, in his 81st year. 
Burning of the Theatre. — Boulogne, Sunday Even- 
ing. — The return of the Emperor on Saturday evening to the 
Hotel Brighton put all Boulogne on the qui vivc for a new 
round of festivities, especially as it was for some time thought 
that he had brought the Empress with him. The people, 
however, were again disappointed, as her Majesty had post- 
poned her visit until Tuesday. As on this day week, the 
solemnisation of a grand high mass at the camp at Amble- 
teuse drew to that locality an immense number of visitors. 
Meanwhile, another scene was taking place in the low town, 
the result of which has been to throw more than one hun- 
dred persons out of employment, and materially to curtail 
the programme of the public amusements in honour of the 
visit of the Empress. This was nothing else than the total 
destruction of the theatre by fire. About half past twelve 
o'clock the bells of the Hotel Ville, St. Joseph's, and St. 
Nicholas rang the alarm of fire, and the rappel summoned 
the military to duty. Every one was soon ou the alert, and 
a general rush took place in the direction of the Rue Neuve 
Ch;mssi?e, whence the smoke and flames seemed to proceed, 
which circumstance gave rise to the opinion that it was tho 
Hotel Windsor which was on fire, for the theatre being at 
the top of the Rue Monsigny almost faces that celebrated 
establishment. As they arrived on the ground they were, 
however, made aware of the real state of the case, and were 
called on to form the chain and pass the buckets of water 
from hand to hand to be thrown ou the blazing pile by the 
firemen, who were mounted on ladders placed against its 
sides. The alarm no sooner reached the Emperor than he 
ordered his carriage, and, accompanied by his staff, drove to 
the scene of destruction. The moment he discovered what 
structure it was that was in flames, he alighted, and, leaving 
his carriage in the Rue Neuve Chaussde, walked up the Rue 
Monsigny, and directed the efforts of those who were strug- 
gling to extinguish the conflagration, aud was as active nn 
any other man in forwarding the water-buckets to the fire- 
men, in which service he was zealously aided by the officers 
of his staff. There is a law in Franco that all persons pre- 
sent on such an occasion' should aid in extinguishing tho 
flames ; but an ignorance of its existence was well-nigh bring- 
ing a few of our countrymen into trouble, as they crowded 
the ground merely in the character of spectators, and did 
not understand the language or brook the manner in which 
the military called on them to help. Indeed, one of them 
who, in attempting to pass onward, was prevented by a 
soldier, immediately wrested the musket from his grasp, and 
to prevent any injury being inflicted iu the scuffle, unscrewed 
the bayonet. This latter manoeuvre was altogether mis- 
understood by the bystanders, who, under the impression 
that he was going to use the bayonet for tho purpose of 
stabbing his antagonist, became fearfully excited against him. 
He was immediately surrounded and placed iu the hands of 
two of the police, who unceremoniously dragged him to pri- 
son, one holding him by the necktie and the collar of his 
coat, and the other impelling him with liis hand pressed 
against the back of his ueek. This was an episode to the 
main act, which might have been avoided by n little for- 
bearance. The fire still raged iu despite of all the efforts 
made to extinguish it, and, indeed, it would have been a 
miracle if they had succeeded, for the scanty supply of water, 
scanty when compared with the magnitude of the conflagra- 
tion, must have had the effect of increasing rather than of 
allaying the flames, and the fire-engines would have brought 
a broad grin on the face of Superintendent Braid wood. Ai 
sucu became convinced of the futility of frying to subdue
