The statement published last week that tbe police have dies end a clue to the perpetrator of th crime is denied It the. authorities at the Old Jewry. DRURY LANE. The short season of English opera at Drury lane came to a close on Saturday evening, when, before a horse crowded in all its (arts, Veni's 1'rorutort waa given, the chief I arts being ably sustained by Madame Marie Rue, Misa Joaa phine York, Mr.

Joseih Maaa, and Mr. Crotty. Tbe occasion received pecial interest from the first awl only apiear ance this season of Mr. Carl Rota at tho conductor' desk. It is well to rememl er.and the audience by ita enthusiastic applause showed that It did remember, the fact, that Mr.

Rosa, besides I eing au enterj rising and intelligent manager, is also an ox erienee 1 and able musieian, and that tbe knowledge and love of his art no doubt indit ed him to jersevere in his dilUult, and at last successful, task of establishing an tnglish oj era worthy of tbe name. If the nun erical strength cf the audience attendir.g almost eve erformar.ee may I taken as a criterion, the past season must havo been a very satisfactory one in a pecuniary tense. Its artittie results also are upon the whole not unsatisfactory. It is tr no that tho new works produced last year have been almost totally neglected, while tho only novelty of tho (eason waa limited to four performances. On tho other hand, such familiar works as The Rohtmian Girl, Faint, and Carmen have taken a very prominent place in the programme, Bixet's masterpiece having been given no fewerthan ten on every third occasion.

Tho policy Illustrated I these ttatiaties, if adopted aa a permanent principle, would prove, and ha in many case proved, tUiCidal. A manager who relies upon tho popularity of a few stock piecct must in the natural course of eveutt soon exhaust tho patunoo of the most conservative i ublie in tho world. Il it only by jud.ciously fosteru tno tasto lor new works that ho can hope tosuf tain tno vitality of his enter, riae. Of th.s fact no one is better awaro than 51r.

Haunted Lire the new melodrama produced at this theatre on Saturday night, belongs to tbe order of pieces usually reserved lor Surrey and East end audiences.

Tho author, Mr. J. Wilton Jones, insists in tho playbill upon ts being an entirely new and original work, but in truth, under the guise of a Nihilist plot, we have hero sin ply a renewalof the time honoured strugglebetween Vice and Virtue, waged aocording to all the accepted tradition1 of transjontinH melodrama. What this means the ex perienced playgoer may reaaily imagine. Mr.

Wilto" Jones does not spare us a pang. Villainy, personified in tho agents of thu Nihilist body, a number of whom, for dramatic purposes, aro imported into the slums of Soho, and one of whom is a Kussian countess, pursues the hero with relentless persistency, even to the extent cf destroy ing by r.ro tno ship in which ho has taken passage to Australia, until finally a turn of fortune's wheel sets matters to rights and brings down the curtain upon the pleasing spectacle of virtue triumphant. Further analysis of a piece which luav bo taken as a sami.le of evervthinu bad In milo Irama seems hardly to be called for. Mr. Wilton Jones has had the mi fortune to sit down to construct hit play without having a single Idea to illustrate.

He has consequently found nothing better to do than jumblo together the various stock incidents and the con ventional characters that Lave done duty in this claa1 of piece since time out of mind. Hence a fatal wan' of sincerity in the work. Originality is seldom attempted' but where it is an awkward air of improba bility slta upon tbe author's efforts. Even the most credulous playgoer, for Instance, must exrie rieiice some difficulty In accepting such matters as the decree of dt ath parsed upon an English subject by a Nihilist committee sitting in Soho, the burning of a shin at sea by conspirators who are themselves aboard of her, or iue conduct oi a Kussian countess in dogging the steps of the doomed Englishman to make violent love to him in and out of season, until finally, having reached to poinn him, ue urmu me ratal uraugnt by mistake and die after the fashion of Madame Sarah Bernhardt. Fault on tho core of improbability, however, important as they aro in'a tory which make no appeal to tl.e imagination, yield place to a still graver defect in tho present instance, the absence of anything like sympathetic interest in the long drawn out complications of the plot.

The mechanical novice of the burning ihin dues more to stir the enthusiasm of the pit and gallery than all tbo other incidents put to gemer, aim it is a curious commentary upon the literar qualities of the play that this scene should have ctoked the loudest calls for the appearance of tho author. Justice requrcs to add that tho flames were real enough on Saturday night to 11 tbo theatre with a utrocatlng smoke uiHi even to create sniro alarm among tho audience. Of this interpretation of tin it may bo said generally that it is worthy of tbe ucasion and no more.

At the cry of distress which came from General cf the day the band of high preatcre has moved tlightlj ts tbe eastward of tbe position it formerly occupied, whit a tendoney is shown towards the fo mation of a second area of high readings o3 our south west coast. The distribif tion of pressure it, therefore, less regular than it wa il the morning. The barometer is rising a little at Ta'eocia and Sciily, but falling elsewhere rather briskly at scan at our northern and eastern stations. The wind has veered to sooth weit in the west of Ireland and aoqtb wrt of England, but remains southerly on our east and tontn caat coaats. The weather is ttill rather cloudy ia the exirette west and north, but in the south east the iky is qnite clear.

Our Philadelphia correal ondent telegraphs "From fur ther statements n.aio at Montreal by those who escaped from the State of Florida, it appears that the first officer was in charge on deck when the collision occurred, and that the barque's lights were seen from the steamer half an hour previously, the steamer's lights being also seen from tbe barque for about half an hour." A Heuter telegram from New York, dated May 11 sajs that Surb eon Steele ascribes the great loss of life mainly to the continued progress of the stearter after the collision. DISASTERS AT SEA. Our Havre Correspondent telegraphs that the rteafner St.

Laurent arrived there at 10 o'clock on Saturday night with "i passengers of tbe steamer and the crew, 46 in number, of the steamer Romano. It will be remembered that these vessels were in collision with each other during a thick fog on the 3d inst. about noon, in lat. 12 48, long. 47 .3, and the Romano had to be abandoned a quarter of an hour afterwards.

The only two patiengers of the Romano, Mr. and Mrs. Snow, went to St. John by tho Nevada. The crew of the Romano were on beard the Nevada until the next day, when they were transferred to the St.

Laurent. The agent at Havre of the Compagnio Transatlantique kindly invited all to remain cn board if they desired to do so. They havo been taken to the Sailors' Home, whence they will bo conveyed to England. A vessel, of about 600 tons, bottom up, laden with hewn pitch pine, which was working out of her, and with copper sheathing torn off, was passed in' 4a 31 by tbe Kate Cann, which has arrive! at Greenock. The Wreck of the brig Albert Lunenburg.was passed on May 2, in 30 64 by the steamer Illinois, which has arrival at Qucenstown from Philadelphia.

The Albert M. cleared from FernanJina on April 23 for Bjeuo Ayrea. Tlie Norwegian barquo Altcar, Captain Lahrran, from St. Kitts, landed at (jueenstown on Saturday night Captain Larsen and eight men of the Norwegian barque Attila, who were taken off their ship cn the 22d of April. Ihe Attila was lound from Antwerp ftr Philadelphia.

On the 21st of April, when in lat. 2tf long. 57 she was dismasted in a cyclone, and one or her crew was washed ovtrl oard and dio ned. When abandoned the vessel had three feet of water in her luld, and was sinking rapidly. 1 he tteamer Cormorant, of and from Cork for Liverj ool, with a general cargo and rattle, wa in collision off Tuskar on Satur lay night with the barque George Bewley, from Liverpool for Chili, with coal, which sank immediately, three of the crew beins drowned.

The Cormorant put into Rosslare Ray, Wexford, with forchold full of water. Tbe passengers wero taken off by the steamer Avoca. After temiorary repairs, tho Cormorant proceeded for Kingstown, not leaking abaft the collision bulkhead. Ihe names of tbe drowned are Salt, steward Wilson, apprentice and Thorn seaman. A Hoyd's telegram from Saigon states that the British steamer Canton, wlien entering tbe harbour in charge of a pilot, came into oil: tion with the tteamer Stolzenfels, which was at anchor.

May 11 12. Pit as Enc land" plenipotentiary to the budaD, and to him the Lonour of tn ian.l was nicked.

There was. however. another point to be considered in tbe matter, and that was this. AY hen General Gordon first went out it was as a n.an of peace but, now. he seat back to say that be wanted ",000 so'diera to smash the Mahdi.

Smash was tho General's own expression, a though it seined a ratb. extraordinary I bey all must leei little' suspicious if an Knjhshaan who wanted to "smash soneLody else. Ihey must also remember that General Gordon had tried conciliation with the Muhdi, but in vain. The Mahdi would ntt bo coneili.ite.1, but sent a very inailtmg estigo to Geaeral Gor Ion. and me nl 1 not help thinking that General Gordon tmce he naa been st Kiartoum Had become ccn vinced liaf either ho must crush the Mahdi or the Mahdi would crush him.

It was sal 1 that we should leave ba Mahdi ulone. Itut tbe question was whether the Mahli would leave them alone. The srtuaticn of a rti Dre tend. in the ast mi be one of action he must show that be could either convert or conquer tbe whole world. His f.

llowers forced him to go on with his Work. He confessed hat sometime It had oceurrel to him that Sir Staffor Northcote a like the Mahli. 'Lanch er. But any one verse, in oriental politics woull tell th. that if they were not a Die to ipprcas tne Jlanii nt Khrtonm they would have to fght him in 'Feynt General Cordon dnibtles saw that it would le easier and cheaper to deal witn Uie Jianai at rvnartoum tnan wnen no came witn tho whole oi the nations of the Sor.dan lehind him to invade Egypt proper.

It might be said that to Englan 1 it was a matter of indifference whether the Mahdi invaied Egypt cr not. But it iuld nt le a matter otirnl.fferer.ee. In the first place England was the greatest Mahomedan power in tbe world, and it would bo impossible for her, to allow a su cetsfal religious pretender to disturb with the seetU of rebellion tie vast population of our Eastern tossessions. As Liberals they were a. i averse to incurring any fresh re sponsiliiities of errpire.

But by the bombardment of Alexandria and the battle of Tel e' Kebir they blew into the air all that was stable an I constant of goveromi nt in Egypt. They could cot leave the country niw without restoring order and good government. It was impossible that they conLi get out of Fgypt so soon as they could wish. Then there was another consideration. Egjpt coull not stinl alone.

hat hi felt some concern alout, on the other hand, was that from the P.vrami.i there were watching some half dozen great Invert of Europe and some dozen smaller Powers, who all considered tha: they had a perpetual right to interfere and control every step of the affairs of Egypt. They could not afford to let France or any other foreign Power have dominon in a country through which lay the road to that India of which ttrj were so justly proud, or. still re imt" rtant in his esti mation, t) those great southern colonies of tbiscountrr. But hen he passed from the subject of hi wn party which was always an agreeable nbject'; whin was such a smiling, peaceful, and harming subject and torncd the party which constituted Her. Majesty Opposit on.

then be aid feel that involuntarily the tear of compassion met: trickle down the hard st ch Liberal derived inspiration from great rinciplei, expounded If i great leader the Conservatives derived inspiration farm a mountain of dirty linen. Speaking of the Reform E.1L tbe noble lord said the measure was only one cf common justice. I I I I I I i I 10 21 4 I 13 Mil ILOI Fike3.
