Ceasing then to regard heathen theologies from the personal point ' of view , and considering them solely with reference to the function they fulfil ' where they are indigenous , we must recognise them in common with all theologies , as good for their times and places ; and this mental necessity , which disables us from conceiving of a deity save as some idealization of ourselves , we must recognise as the agency % which harmony is produced andmaintainedhetweeneveryphasepfhumancharacteranditsreligious creed .

He-Opening Of The Lyceum. Yotr Know My A...
HE-OPENING OF THE LYCEUM . Yotr know my affection for the Lyceum , and will not be surprised to bear that I gave myself an indigestion , making dinner rudis indigestague moles by precipitate mastication , in anxiety to ^ see the curtain rise . How vain are earthly struggles ! mundane vanities ! The curtain had risen before we arrived , which considerably ruffled Julia , who , although " the sweetest of tempers , " is scarcely so amiable when " out ;" accordingly she was taciturn , ( Ithought sulky , ) and looked " daggers "—( or milk-jugs!)—at me . With the cowardice natural to our sex , I persisted in not seeing her change of manner , but rattled on with gay carelessness , laughing whenever I could at the Curious Case , and silently wondering what Charles Mathews would do had he a Julia in the articleof-domestic-porcelain state of mind . ...... Female wnose eye may be glancing over this page from Les Confessions de Vivian , " lend an ear" as well as an eye ! Take the solemn warning of a irokvbdKpvTos avrip , " a man of many tears , " ( shed on his shoulder !¦)—never sit by the man who loves you and , all the time vowing that " nothing" is the matter , make him feel that he is' immensely criminal , although , perhaps , unconscious of the crime ! ...... As this is somewhat digressive , and only remotely related to the theatrical question , I abruptly cease . I wanted to make you understand Julia ' s state of mind and my own , in order that you might appreciate the effect upon us both of the sudden appearance of Wright on the front bench of the p it ! The performance was , The Commencement of a Bad Farce , in which Frank Mathews lost his cues , saw his daughter coming from Prompt Side when she really entered from O . P . —these and other mistakes caused a hiss . With the proverbial good-nature of a British pit ( not yet bored ) , the pit was indignant at this niss , and tried to drown it in applause . The bad farce proceeded , and the hiss became fiercer , was taken up by other hissers , when on rushed Charles Matliews , in a state of managerial exasperation , accusingjtke hisser as the " emissary of a rival theatre . " The audience fell into the trap ; " JSTame ! name !" was shouted , and Mathews at length named the man and the theatre . " Mr . Wright from the Princess ' s , " whereupon Mr . Wright jumped upon the seat , and turning his well-known faco of ruddy drollery to tlie audience , was received with a hurricane of applause and laughter , which lasted some minutes . During the surprised excitement , Julia turned to me , her eyes running over with the liquid light of mirth , and only seeking sympathy in mine . The " daggers" were sheathed from that moment . She seemed to say : "J ' ai ri : me voila desarmS—I can ' t be lofty with you , after laughing with you . "
It is very old business this of an actor taking his place among the audience , but it never fails of its effect ; and the smart dialogue which ensued between the actors on the stage and Wright in the pit ( aided occasionally by some of the audience ) produced " roars . " After Wright ' s criticising the theatres generally and the JLyceum specially , he was invited to get upon the stage and act . He did so ; the curtain descended , to re-ascend for Wright at last , a clumsy , ill-written version of' Quand on attend sa bourse . A most unlucky chance or choice was this farce , the stupidity of which amounted almost to the insulting ! It had no A-nr .

There was a standing dish of three pair of soles , which was served up in every inconceivable way . If any one alluded to body or soul—there were six soles ready for jocular application ; and Mrs . Frank asks after her parasol merely to let Wright answer , " he has three pair o' soles in the next room . " How Mathews , a man of wit and experience , could have produced such a farce , will be perfectly incomprehensible to those who , only judging of pieces when they see them performed , have no idea how difficult it is to say beforehand what will and what Will not succeed .
In the way of gossip , I may notice the opening of the St . James ' s Theatee , for English opera and ballet . At Deubt Lane " legitimate " horsemanship , continues its career ; at the Princess ' s there has been another version of Le Fils de FamiUe , of whicli I spoke when Webster produced his Discarded Son . What is it makes managers run so much in each other ' s track ? Vivian .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The number of deaths from all causes registered in tho week that ended on Saturday was 1144 , exhibiting an increase of about ; KX ) on tho first three weeks of October . In ton corresponding weeks of tho years 184 v 3-5 ' 2 , tho average number was 974-, which , if raised in proportion to increase of population , becomes 1071 . There is , therefore , an excess of 73 in the present return on tho corrected average , arising chiefly from the epidemic , the progress of whicli hati been recorded during the last two months , and which has now attacked many parts of the metropolis , widely distant , between Hammersmith and Whitechapel .

Variorum. Sib E. Btjlweb Lytton's Comedy...
VARIORUM . Sib E . Btjlweb Lytton's comedy of Money is become quite a stock piece ; and , in many respects , it deserves to he . It is not defective in construction ; the dialogue is pointed ; the situations are interesting . The cynicism is just of that temper and profundity which the youngest " man of the world '' in tile audience can applaud , and appropriate : and for the weaker * and better half of the audience , there is plenty of that sentimentality which "tells" on muslin in the boxes . We have a word to say of & £ r . Greorge Yandenhoff . He fulfils our expectations of his capacities for serious comedy . His JEvelyn is always majily and intelligent , and ( a happy contrast to Mr . Barry Sullivan ) intelligently dressed : and , if he is " stagey" at times , why , the language he has to utter is eminently stagey , and he must talk for ever in capital letters and italics . But Compton ' s Graves is the characterin the performance .
The St . James ' s Theatre has been opened for a ( conditional ) season of forty nights for the performance of English operas , and foreign operas done into English . The performances are creditable to the company , and certainly seem to satisfy the public . Miss Lowe , as Amina , in La Sonnambula , achieves a respectable success . She acts becomingly ; but her voice , although sweet , is too slight for the music—a mere jilet de voix . The same cannot be said of the masculine performers .
We hear Mr . Hatch ' s musical , descriptive , and pictorial Irish entertainment at Hanover Square Rooms , agreeably spoken of . Miss Rainforth announces a Scotch ballad entertainment , for the success of which her name is a sufficient guarantee .

CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday , November 6 , 1863 . Tho principal feature of the arrivals this week is a cargo of Flour reported from Nantes , which , in the face of tho advancing ' markets in Fnineo , has canned some surprise ; it is , howover , said to be a cargo of Spanish Flour which had put into Nantes , and was transhipped . Some Flour had uIho arrived direct from 8 antandor . Tho Hupplien of Wheat are not largo , and of Oatu aiul Barley moderate ; the demand for the former is slow , but there is no disposition to press sales , and the Iiuhuh'hh done is consequently at about Monday ' s rates , linrtay and Oats fiilly maintain former rates .
