The works which hare for several week been in progree for lighting the town of Godalming, Surrey, by electridty generated principally by water power, were tested successfully for the first time last night. There are, in addition to the employment of a motor not hitherto used in this country, two or three noTtl point in the method by which the lighting of the town ha been effected.

For the light ing of the smaller street the Swan incandescent lamps, fixed in the ordinary gas lamp posts, are used the current it conducted by bare copper wire attached by insulators to pole like overhead telegraph wire, and ao direct return wire is employed. A difficulty for which, perhaps, quite sufficient allowance had not been made ha arisen from the flooded rtate of the River Wey after the recent prolonged and heavy rain. The driving power required for the generating machine i obtained by two poucelet waterwheels at the Westbrook Mills, of Messrs. B. and J.

rul man, leather dressers, of Godalming, but ao tlnggish has the stream become owing to the rise of the river and the large quantity of back water, that it has been, found necessary to employ a steam engine as an auxiliary to the water power. The retarive propartioa of the two source of power uu orougnt into operauoo may oe esnmatea irom the fact that, to generate the quantity of electridty required, the dynamo machine must make 640 revolution per minute, the river in iUpreecnt flooded state only rives puwci (uvwu muki i ictuiuuuui jcr nuBuic. A steam eagine which wu held ready in reserve had, therefore, to be set to work. It is a term portable engine made by Messrs. Wailis and Stevens, of Uasingstoke, who axe maker of the engine now in use at the British Museum and at the Grand Opera ia Paris.One of Messrt.8ieBensBrothers' generator is used an alternate current dynamo machine with aa exdter absorbing about 10 borse power.

Thi machine supplies seven differential an iampt and about 40 5 wan lamp. Of the are lamp coe is similar to those in the lower svstem of street lamp used ia that part of the City of London lighted Messrs. Siemens. The other are lamps, of which there are three in the town, are of different mechanism, having three pairs of oar boos, which burn with inttantaneou changes, instead of two long carbons burning continuously. These lights, enclosed in square lanterns of clear glass provided wtth reflectors, are placed oa iron post 22ft.

high, and have aa illuminating power equal to S00 candles. The Swaa lights, which, used singly, are subjected to a somewhat trying contrast with the orilliaat are lamps, were estimated to be giving a light of about 15 oandfe power. Three of the are lamps and 15 of the Swan lamp are used in the Qlmnination of Messrs. Fulmaa's mill. Altogether about fire mile of wire are need for tho two system of lights.

The circuit of the differential are lamps is about two and a half mile, the nearest of the lamp In the town being about half a mile from the mill, and the furthest being about a mile and a quarter distant. A plan of the wires supplying the Swaa lamp bear some resemblance to a tree, the main line, a bundle of wire about as thick the little finger of a man' hand, running from the mills to the Town hall, about half a mile, and the smaller wire carried in come ease to a distance of half a mile on each side representing the branches. The work hu been carried out bv Messrs. Calder and Barret, electrical engineers. This firm will exhibit at the Crystal Falace Elec trical Exhibition a turbine, to be worked in this ease by water supplied from th Towers, that is to drive a drnamo maehine, which.

will alternately supply current for lighting and for the traoiinissio of power. They are also about to carry out an experiment with are Swan light for the lirhtinr of the library, the theatre, aad the road wav in irons or. sne unaner nonse scnoois, near uooaumag. The first of the three performance of the Westminster Flay wu given yesterday evening. The great dormitory wu unusually full for tho 'first night, probably owing to the fact that, departing from the ordinary custom, tha EpQogue wu to be delivered at the first, instead of being reserved for the second or third repnenttion.

So crowded, Indeed, were the galleries, the body of the room, and the gangway, that it wu rather alarming to speculate upon what might occur if, from soma cause or other, a had arisen among the audience. Tradition, aa it will be remembered, restrict the choice of ihe Westminster boy ti four Latin plays, the Trinutnmus of Pleutot, the Pkomio, the Andria, and the AdetpM of Terence.

There I not, perhaps, in the couth of Ireland a landlord who hu beea tubjeeted to more trouble and annoyance from hi tenant than Lord Kenmare daring the tut two years. Inspired and urged on by the Land League, they have held out at ainst the payment of all rent when their unreasonable demand were But acceded to, and it is only by the threat of eviction, or whee brought face to faee with it, that they have come to terms.

The original cause of the widespread and determined opposition of these tenants to their landlord not far to teek. Eighteen months ago Mr. T. M. Mealy, M.

appeared In Bantry. hit native town. Nothing could be more violent than hit denuncia tion of Vara Kenmare a landlord, or of Mr. Barrett for the manner in which he managed the business in the district. Every small circumstance wss seized upon by Mr.

licaly and falsified for the purpose of exciting popular leeimg agaiosi ioru nrnmsrw, woo wu represented building a magnificent mansion at Killarney out of the rack rents imposed npon his tenantry. Ever since then the greatest possiUe difficulty hu been found in obtaining renU on the property. Mr. Healy, it will be remembered, wu sent for trial at the Cork Assise at the time for intimidating a man named Manning, who had taken on the estate a farm from which a tenant named Magrath had bees evicted. Up to the present Manning ha not dared to attend to hi farm.

It is now in the occupation of an Emergency man, protected by police. Close by it on the roadside is a miserable little tut, tenanted by Magrath and hit family, lie it fully confident that be will yet be able to return to his former dwelling place. Such it the hope which the Laid League lead him to entertain. The Sheriff began the work of eviction early yesterday morning. It will give some i lea of the amount of work thi energetic official ha to go through when it is stated that en, Sttsdty, Monday, and Tuesday nights his duties would not permit of his going to bd.

On Monday ai.d Tuesday he was engaged soiling cattle tor rent near Tallow, one extreme of the county. Yesterday he wu ia Bantry, at the other extreme, the railway mileage between the two point being 120 mile. Hanng driven in a car about 20 miles, the sheriff started for the soeue of the evictions, accomrnied by about 40 police, under Mr. U'arbnrton, B.M.. and Sub Inspector Keanedy, and a company ef the 86th Regiment, under Captain Browne.

The Ladies Land League were not present, and it may be said, a natural consequence, the Sheriff encountered no resistance in the execution of the decre. All the holding are situated high and boggy land, and the evicting party found it a matter of considerable difficulty aad fatigue to get at them. On the way the Sheriff was met by the represeata live oi me wao siaiai inai ne naa sueceeuea In effecting arrangement with several tenants. If they had not been proceeded against, these men would have still held out, and roust likely would have repudiated any moral ob'igarion on them to pay what they owed to their landlord. In a few casM, however, it wu el par that the trna were not in a position to meetfa full the demands made upon them.

One of these caes wu that of Timothy Twomey ar.d Daniel Keohace, who held a tmall piece of mounUin land at a joint tenancy. It would be impoMible to describe tho wretehtdne of the hovrl in which these two tenants with their families managed to live the wrrtc elneix far exceeding anything seen by Mr, Herbert Gladstone daring the late evictions at Castletown'. Xwomey is at present a couple of years rent in arrears, probably because he bas not given undivided attention to his farm. His wife was in ted ill, having been confiaed three days pruviowly. 'the sheriff decided to postpone the friction, bat his disagreeable duty is only delayed, Twomey.

The letter briefly' recited the facts in each of the two case mentioned aa bearing upon the con duct of the medical and relieving and stated that, from a careful consideration of tha report of tha official inquiry by Mr. Hedley, the Board had eone to the conclusion that Mr. Donahoo had not only discharged hia duties medical officer in a lax aad careless manner, but that but Yesterday several hundred tenant farmer assembled at the farm of Mr: Parnell, M.P., at Avoodal.

The Board had noticed with surmise hi loose methods of ririnr eartificatea. on ecraps of paper and on the back of the relieving officer's form of request, which ware vague and unreliable. The Board of Guardians bad been generally disss tisfed with him, and had a mult suspended him. The Local Government Board considered in the interests of th union they could not remove the suspension which th guardians had imposed npon him, but requested that he would at once place bis resignation in their hand. With respect to the relieving officer, the Local Government Board considered from the evidence given at the inquiry that he had discharged hi duties ia a proper manner, but added that, in acquitting him of the charge of neglect in tb case of 8arah Jackson aad No rah O'Brien, they thought it necessary to state that there wu reason to fear that in dealing with applicants for relief hi manner at time, if not harsh, wu at least quick and hasty, and leu under control than it ought to be.

Harincton. Penan Mat, rarmaoo It T. Hawklas. Ttm Jdelpki is a fair sample of the tyle and powers of Terence, being tolerably lively throughout, though not containing any remarkably laughable episodes. The dialogue is, indeed, sparkling, bat the situations which alone caa be gruped by the majority of a modern audience are lea funny than in ome of Tt rence' own and than mot of Plautua' playa.

At the time that the Adelpki wu written, the Bomua had no literature of their own worth the name. Everything that wu written wat framed on Greek models, and imbued with Creek thought and phraseology. The Roman comedy writers never dreamed of aiming higher than an imitation of what wu the vogue among Greek and Graecit. Tbey had to plea no national Uatea, their play were writteu for a knot of rennea men, wno were luily utlsSed wttb a conpoaition which did cot wander far from Greek guidance. They had every excuse, tbereforo for plagtariam, and no incentive to originality.

The AddAi ii no exception to the rule, It wu auaptea irom tne ureeic ot Aienaader, tbe Atbenian dramatist of the school of the New Comedian, they4re popularly called. But th adaptation of a Greek play for the Soman stage involved far leu alteration than doe tb adaptation of a French play for the English stage. The patrons of Plautu and Terence were not' anxious to hare the Greek characteristics of the piece overlaid with Roman reneer. Hence the plays of tha Roman comedians offer us a picture of Athenitn life and manners, with little disguise. The dialogue il often translated word for word Athenian name are kept the character are Athenian the very aceae, ao far the Rom act eaa be uid to have poeed scene in their early theatrical representations, is laid in the street! of Ath ens.

Though the familiar view npon which the curtain oCthe Westminster Play rises with Athenian houses right and left, and Athens itself Acropolis and all, in the background, must be taken far superior to anything tbe Roma a poaaeseed In the way oenery when th AddpM wu acted for the first time at the funeral gamu of Emiliu Paulas, it evert heist re present the seen which the Roman spectators conjured np before their miad. Just th happy ideu Philemon, Men and er have been perpetuated by Plautu and Terence, ao these, in their turn, have supplied plot to English and French dramatist. Shakespeare for the notion which he embodies of Errori. Moliere, be borrows from Aristophanes Waipt. base ifarit upon the Addphi.

Some passages in the French play are actually translated almost word for word In other places tbe alterations. are exten rive, to suit altered they are not always for the better. The slave characters in particular are, of course, cut oat, and these the original are by far the moat amusing, Mobere imaginu two old guardian instead of two fathers and it is two daughter who play the scapegrace instead of two sons, ia tho Terentian play. Tho French poet givs the tricks of the Terentian slave Syrus to one of the young ladiea, aad though ber ihiftj and devices are more far fetched, they do not naturally fit the female character. fresh element of ridicule, indeed, is added by making the old guardians themselves in love with their ward.

It is worthy of notice that tha author' prologue to VhtAdelpKi, ia which he answers the charges his detractor and begs for the favour of hi audience, allude to a rumour that he wu helped ia his writings by Latins and Scl'pio. Terence not oaly doe net repel the accusati on, but glories in it associating him with famous men. It would confer an additional interest on Terence' play if they had a title to be considered partly tbe work of the conqueror of Carthage Probably Terence had a good motive for not refuting so flattering a charge but there is no doubt that his talents earned bimth intimacy of Scipi and many otbeF dfi tinguiahed Grncists. Such a friendship wu something to be proud of for one like Terence, who waa of servile birth aaa earned oy nu wnungi mue Dsaiaea nonour. xno re muneration of a dramati author at Rome was small and precarious.

There were no run of successful pieces An author exhibited his piece at some festival, or, in the ease of the AddpK some funeral ceremonies. It wu not often put on the stage again. If it pleated the audience the aediles or the director of tbe ceremonie paid him some um under 100. The appeal of the dramatist, therefore, for kind treatment from his audience wu no formal one. The Hceyra of Terence, we are told, wu hissed off the stage when performed for the second time.

The plot of the play is fol lows Demea is a sober old Athenian, living in the country he butwo sons, iEebinu and Cteaipho. Of these sons be bu allowed one. JUKOiant, to be adopted by Ms bachelor brother, Micio. a resident In Athens, while tbe other, Cteaipho, he educates strictly. Micio is the very opposite of.

hi austere brother. Fond of enjoyment himself, he cannot find it in his heart to be harsh with his adopted son. He lets iEschiaa sow his wild oats without interference, showing a moat compliant temper toward the extraragaaciv of the young man. This cause intense annoyance to Demea, who, though be hu nominally relinquished his control over hi on, in fact ever upbraiding Micio with neglect of hi duty. The first scene disclotes Micio soliloquising upon his relation with Jachinua; to the effect that a father should win hi son't confidence by not opposing too much his vagaries.

Yet her dchinus has been out all night again and Micio it anxious. Demea enter with the story of another wild outburst on tha part ol JEscbinut, who hu broken into the house of a low fellow, Sannio, and taken from his possession a music girl, inflicting to boot a good drubbing upon Sannio himself. Demea onee more inveighs against Mieio's uafatherly conduct in encouraging but Micio. who ia him. elf sorely pot out with this last escapade of will not owu it, but irritates Demea to desperation by his nonchalance.

The next scene brings on iEecfii us himself, followed closely by the outraged Sannio, demanding back hi monk girl in vain. Asehinut depute hu slave, Syrus, to reason with Sannio and get him to go away, which the crafty slave' soon manages. Ctesipho, tha country brother of then enters, anil it turns out that Aeschinus had rescued the music girl from Sannio, not for himself, but for Cteiipho, who was in love with ber. Itmrstherebe mentioned that himself had a love affair which had arrjved at a critical state. He had married, unknown to his adopted fathar Micio, one Pamphila, the daughter of Sostrata, a poor girl.

of good birth. In the next scene accordingly, we apbrald Id brother Mlda, who cippoee tha sama ha peanorhahle frost." firra bow aocanontha ctaga la a Upsy ctata fraa tha fastivitiee within tha hooaa.

Micio employs the aame weapooi.u before, aad tarns the table oo tha infuriated father.

iTha play winds np with a rtal raw kdv fax tha tyle of Mr. Gilbert. Demea abjure hi former self be ia determined to take an example from Micio, and. allow his son every liberty they wish. Tha marriage "of Eschinus and Pamphila is recognized Cteaipho is to marry the muric giri, woo tarns out, of coarse, to be really a free born Athenian enslaved by pirates.

A final atrake of ridicule i added by Demea and jEachinu prevaillag upon Mido to marry Soatrata, the mother of chian bride.
