Iu submitting tho second loyal toast tho Chairman said there had never been a firmer friend anil patron of the drama than the Prince of Wales, mid Unit the entire Koynl Family wero proverbial for their encouragement of theatrical amusements. (Cheers.) Proposing tho toiist of the evening, "The Boyal General Theatrical Fund," the Chairman said I buve noticed so much despondency uboufc the stago that if I wero a man of a uivtnruUy gloomy cast of mind I should appeal to you on beliall of tho Theatrical Fund on the ground that we shall all bo quartered on it beforo long. (Laughter.) I am not quite sure that, in the interests of tlio Fund, it would not bo an astute stroke of policy to draw an awful picture of tho drama, left, like Mrs.

Gummidgo, "a lono-lorn crittnr," and bound to "go up to tho house." (Renewed laugh tor.) If I bavo accurately understood a recent expression of opinion, the London malingers, or most of them, maintain a precarious existence for the greater part of tho year, and are only comforted by tho arrival of Holy Week, wbou shutting their theatres assitmes the misleading aspect of a religious lite. (Laughter.) Well, gentlemen, if this ho bo. it is quite cleai that wo caniiol. live much longer ou that aspect. We may bo compelled to botako ourselves to anntbor profession a profession that demands a p-ood deal of biceps, in which some of us are at present deficient.

Jos. Lees." SI5TGULAU CASE. John HewBtou, aged 69, an American, giving his address at tho First Aveuuo Hutol, Holborn, was charged boforo Mr. It. Smith yesterday, at the Clorfan-well PoUco-oourt, witli the.

manslaughter of George Bruton. Mr. Hickettn said ho was instructed by the Consul of tho United States in London to appear on behal of the prisoner. Polico-iuspootor West said the accuser! was originally charged wifclv causing bodily harm to Bruton, who died onWediiesdity night, and then the prisoner was ohurged with manslaughter. Benjamin Bowling, of Euston-streot, in the employment of the St.

Paucrus Vestry, said that shortly after five on Wednesday afternoon lie was standing at tho corner of Actou street, Gray's-inn-road, when three mon crossed the street together and went iuto Gray's-inn-road. Ono of tho men had a harp on his shoulder, another bad a banjo, aud the third a tin whistle and a camp stool. Tho prisoner was walking the other way, iuto Aeton-Etreot, aud as be passed tho musiciaiiBhis arm came into contact with tho harp. Ho gave the instrument a push, and tho mun carrying the camp stool asked, What did you do that for Hewston said, You hit mo hero," indicating his arm. Tho prisoner, who had an umbrella in liis right hand, hold it up and enid, I will poke you hi the oyo with this." Tho man replied, Do it, then." In a momont, with out any further wards.tho prisoner thrust tho forrnlo of his umbrella into tho man's eye, and then walked away down Acton-strcot.

Tlio witness, who was Btauding quite close to Hewston at Ibo time of tho assault, followed him and stopped him. A police -constable came up almost directly afterwards aud took the prisoner into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. Eicketts Tho prisoner and the. deceased first mot face to face in Actou-street, and Hewston pushed the harp on ono side.

It was uot the deceased who said, I will pusli you in the eye with this." Ho could not suy whether Bruton dropped his stool on tha ground on being struck in the oye, Tlio prisoner, when he thrust the umbrella, did so vory quickly, his arm almost brushing against tho witness's faco. David Peniber, of Victor-street, Barnsbury, a musician, said he was in the company of Bruton and another musician, named Sebastian Georgo, at the lime of the occurrence, Wituesa curried the harp, and tha prisoner on meeting them knocked his arm against the instrument. Hewston thereupon thrust his umbrella into Ib'uton'a eye, causing blood to spurt out, He hoard no words used, either by tho decoased or by tho prifionor, before tho assault. He was walking close to Bruton at tho tithe, Cross-examined Witness said l(p did not hoar the threat which wan attributed by tho last witness to the prisoner, It did not seem to him that tho prisoner used tho umbrella iu self-dofonco, for tho deceased mado no attempt to strike him. Sebastian George, musician and vocalist, of Steh-bingtoii-Btreet, Somers-town, Biiid bo was walking with tho two othor musicians at tho time of tho assault, lie Baw the prisoner oross tho street and como towards them, but bo did not soe any colb'siou between tho prisoner and Pom her, because ho was walking a little in front of bis comrades.

Ho hoard somo "mumbling," aud, turning round, saw tlie prisoner uao his umbrella in the way tho other witnesses had described, Bruton cried. Oh, oh," and fell back, his oyo pouring with bloocl, some of it falling on witness's baud. Tlio de- A Cabinet Council was held yesterday.

G. R. Thornton. Communion followed, and afterwards thore was a tea givou-hy Sir Georgo Williams and Mr. F.

Bevan. The moetiug in Exeter Hall was very largoly attended. Sir Bruce, who presided, said the first missionary duty of Loudonors was iu London itself, and tliia aooioty offered an excellent opportunity for its fulfilment. '( It afforded, too, an excellent Hold for Christian unity, whiob was far more likely to bo accomplished by common work than by oudlcss talk. Tho Key.

E. O. Gange (Baptist) advocated the claims of tho mission on tho ground that it delivered the Gospel message personally. Tlie City missioners were the true successors of tho Apostles, becauso they preached the Gospel to the people in the open air. They won the love of the peoplo in their homes, and nothing could be a stronger refutation of atheism than Christian syi pathy in trrno of need.

Ono of tho greatest bnrs to their work was drunkenness. Ho wished that, as by a sweep of the magician's wnud ovory brewery nnd distillory could be swept from tho land. (Loud choors.) Mr. F. A.

Bevan (treasurer) said the mission was greatly iu needs of funds. Unless moro aid was forthcoming it would be necessary to reduce the number of workers. It was specially do-su-ed to appoint two more missionaries to coalhcvrcrs, A gentleman had promised 20. for a missionary iu the West-end, on condition thot 40f. was otherwise subscribed, and another friend had promised 6f, for every 20f.

Thompson to have certain decisions of the Hifeh Court, tho Chancery Division, and the Court of Appoal reviewed, and to obtain a declaration that sho was entitled, if not to the ous-tody of, at least to access to, bor ohildron, especially to hor daughter. The matter had stood over in order that the learned judges might oarofully consider tho proceedings which had taken place boforo tho other tribunals, ond ascertain whether anything had token place to induce them either to issue a writ or to invito the Courts to reconsider the decisions thsy had arrived at. The cane had been carefully considered on several occasions, aud curious and complicated as it was in many ways, tho judges who had considered it had been unanimous in the opinions they had expressed. Nothing bad tnkon place to alter tho facts set out in tho very able and elaborato judgment doliverod by Lord Justice A. L.

Smith and concurred iu by Mr. Justioo Cave, who sat niuuosos of discussion, just us It pleases some poopio to osnuro us that Shakespeare could not have written plays because bis bimdwiituig was so bad, and becauso lie bad a taste for poaching in bis youth. (Lau'diter.) When it is established that by stalking your neighbour's deer you prove yourself euilly of stealing tho credit of your neighbour's vorses, then wo may gofc uneasy about the drama us a profitable oconpation, mid about tho actor's culling as an alternative to pauperism. Amidst tho chances ami changes of mortality, I think tho drama is likely to outlive our generation and a few more and especially to summon to this board year utter year au assemblage overflowing with good fellowship and public spirit. (Cheers.) After basmg an earnest appeal for subscriptions on figures illustrative of tho valuable work of tho Fund, tho Chairman proceeded For a charity which seeks to furnish timely aid to our loss fortunate comrades, perhaps tho strongost plea to some of us springs from out own recollectiousof tho early diiye of Btrugglo, from episodes iu our own lives which kiiullo Ibo warmest feelings in out hearts.
