Probably the most effective and nearest per- fect representations Sheridan’s comedy has. ever Had in this country were at Wallack’s several years age when Jotn Gilbert, Lester Watlack, Harry Beckett, and Mme. Pouisi filled the leading parts. There was in that ise to. te ad tt ne cast no role. Ft was the old com- edy substantially as. written, and -its snecess tHen as well as the present success of Jobn §. Clarké with the unaltered “Rivals” isa suflicient answer to the plea that am audience would uot sit through the entire five acts or listen patiently to the monotonous speeches af Falkland, the sentimentality of the love scenes with Julia, or the criminations and recriminations between Lucy and Fay. It is well known that Mr, Jeiferson has made very ienl changes in the play. He has cut it down fror ff¥e to three: acts, has. cut out the part of Juli« entirely, reduced the perts of Falldand and ‘Fay to very mauest proportions, and has made Bub steres instead of Sir Anthony Absolute the leading character in the piece, although he hag jeft him really only three scenes. ‘There is anuch that might he said both for and against Mr. Je‘Terson’s revision. He himself defends ststoutly and with covent reasoning, and that tho public approve of it seems evident from the large Lonses drawn by its representation and the enthusiasm with which it is everywhere greeted, We sce no particular reason why the tow comedy part suould be exalted above all others when the author of the. play, with nis wits fully about him,” mude bin a subordinate creation. By a parity of reasoning any other character might so alter and rearrange the phy that it would become a “star” piece for Mrs, Malaprop, Sir Anthony, Sir Lueivs, or Lydia Tunguish. ttis a tact, however, that in curtailing the partof Felktand, and in emitting his point= less, rambling specebes, tho pleusure with which the play is listened to is materially enhanced, If, as Leigh fluut suszests, the character of Matslu nit wus to the author by some tempers of his own during courtabip, sad in- deed must have been Mrs. Sheridan's ante- uuptial lot. fnteresting to note that * Tho Rival ess from tho start.

The new society is Known as the Swiataia Droujina, or Holy any secret suciety.7 Other oflicers of the army are not credited with equal intelli. gence and serupulousness.

To organize and -direct its operations the experienced services have been secured of M: Schmidt, formerly assistant to the Cliet of the ‘Lhird Section, and ML Pootilin, late, head of the St, Petersburg detective police, ho is now at Kiet. Ml Schmidt remains at St. Petersburg, where the society is now at work, and has already signalized itself, not so much bys the capture of Nihilists, as by innocently arresting members vi the ordinary seeret police. “That such arrests should take place will appear more comical than credible to Engtish readers, but will easily be understood in Russia and in other parts of the Continent, where the French systein of agents provociteurs is betier Kuown. -As instances of such blunders, it is currently reported that au agent of this class, a woman in the service of the seeret police, and a member.of the Holy Brother- h v ood happening to travel in the saine rail- yearrhige to Pavloysky, and having suc- ceeded, as they imagined, i eli x from h other dangerous or inconvenient ex- of their con- waz pressions of views in the cours Versation, found themselves. both under rest before nightfall.

The name was given by the zealous brother. who: chagrin inay imagined when Count lene dell rejvined, Ne is my agen The Count had doubtiess already been notitied of the amusiug situation in which one of his contidential agents had been phiced. Little is known of the operations of this brother- hood vp to the present time, except these arrests. Butif it is correetly stated that the headquarters and: lirst contingent of mem- bers ‘are from the St. Petersburg Linperial Yaeht Club (so called, apparently, on the ducus @ non. Iicendo principle, has no conkection with yachtiny), this is certainly oug of the most curious and omin- ous features in connection with: the society. On the one hand it reads like a satire that th members of this club, comprising the » esse (and vieillesse) dorée ? af St. Peter: CS should thus form themselves into a Holy Brotherhood.” While, on the other hand, what isto be said or thought of the state et society in this coumtry it members of one of the most aris- tocratic clubs, form themselves into a secret institution—in groups of five like the Car- bonari—apa engage to gret as spies among their conifections and ffiends?
