parts where the old seams showed signs of weakness , is again spread at St .. James ' s HalK A number of those impersonations on which our friends have built their fame , are of course retained—common gratitude demanded no less . Such are Old Roger Whttelock , Major Jonathan Bang ; and the remarkable Imitation of Sinis Beeves , Mrs . Paul ' s greatest hit . The charming . Molly Doolan , our former praises of whom we cannot go beyond ; and the sentimental old maid , Selina Singleheart , ai'e still to the fore ; and Mrs . Paul charms and diverts in them no less than ever . The leading novelty is a sketch of one Mr . Battleton Cheek , a knowing and well-known man on town , who feels justified , after fathoming the mysteries of Tupperism , in attempting anything ^ -even the cOncoction of a comic entertainment . Mr . Paul is fast improving as an actor , and his " Patter Song , " in the last-named character , is a decided success
. At the Crystal Palace the festivities are kept up with unabated spirit , to the delight of the holiday makers . Some clever performances have been introduced by the comic Clown Huiine , and the Columbine and Harlequin , Mr . and Mrs . Alexander , who in their llifle Corps Hornpipe do all that is possible to meet the great popular movement . The Campbell Minstrels , the Wizard' . Sinclair , the Chan trill Family , and the inimitable Mackney , are in their new parts no less successful than the old . For the comic shadows , entirely new scenes on the great screen have been arranged . But perhaps the most attractive thing of all is the lighting up of the building . The Alhambra Court and corridors are now illuminated with coToured lanterns , and with a cluster of Lights in the Fountain
of Lions , and the effect is most fairy-like and enchanting—as remarkable in its way as the bustle and fun of the Illuminated Promenade and Fancy Fair round the great Christmas Tree , and down the length of the nave . The number of visitors has been increasing daily since Christmas ,- and , as balmy weather has set in with the general reaction after Christmas dyspepsia , Mr . Bowley expects a large attendance within the next few days . The farewell performances of the Campbell Minstrels takes place in St . Jameslarge hall this day at 3 and 8 o'clock . ¦¦ . We have the pleasure to say that Mr . Albert Smith resumes work at the Egyptian Hall on the 10 th inst . The seventh of the London Popular Concerts . ' . takes place on Monday evening , at the St . James ' s , Upper Hall . The programme is a very attractive one , comprising , in addition to the usual strong quartet party , the names of Lazarus ( clarionet ) , Sims Reeves , and Sherrington .. .

Foreign. The New L R Ear's Reception At ...
FOREIGN . The New l ear ' s reception at the Tuileries has not ( as many expected would be the case ) produced any remarkable declaration-of policy from the Empekob of the Fj & Enoh . On Monday , 1 st January , Napoleon and his Empress received the homage of the princes and princesses of the imperial family and the courtiers , then proceeded to attend the celebration of high mass , and at one o'clock the French Sovereign received the diplomatic body . The Papal Nuncio , it had been insinuated , would be " indisposed " and unable to attend ; he was however present , and acted as spokesman for the body of foreign ministers , conveying their compliments to the French Sovereign . In repl y , the Emperor thanked ^ them , and confined himself to the observations that since his accession to power
he had ever professed the most profound respect for recognised rights , and that the constant aim of his future efforts will be to re-establish everywhere , as far as depends upon himself , confidence and peace . It was remarked that the attendance of priests at the levee was very small ; on the other hand , there were present the large number of twenty-seven Protestant ministers . After the reception Monsignor Sacconi said to the Russian Ambassador , " I am al ' raid that henceforth , the Catholic Church must rely upon schismatic Russia . " The same night Lord Oowley left Paris for London . The turmoil about the " imperial pamphlet" has not yet subsided . Qn Tuesday , Jan . 3 , appeared in the Cohstitutionnel an article signed by M . Crrandguillot , addressed to the Bishop of Orleansrefuting the objections of that prolate to " Le Pape el lo
, Congres , " nnd demanding what solution he would prefer ; M , Grandguillot also acknowledges himself the author of the semiofficial articles signed , " A Catholic Journalist . " On Thursday the 5 th Jan ., the Morning Chronicle , a journal which has lately changed hands , but whose varying fortunes can never obliterate the impreasipn of its former power—addressed tin appeal to the Emperor Nnpoloon which in worthy of notice . It calls upon him us I Up most successful potentate , warrior , and statesman of liis generation to be as bold now in conciliating public opinion ns once ho was in assuming an M awful responsibility , " nnd to give freedom to the assemblies and the press . The Moniteur of Thursday , Jan . 5 , contains an imperial decree , appointing M . Thouvonel Minister fur Foreign Affairs in place of the
The Independance Beige was accordingly stopped at the post-office on Wednesday , for containing an inaccurate account of what Cardinal Morlot said on New Year ' s day . The Paris Archbishop did , in fact , nbt venture one word of censure on the French government , as stated in the Belgian journal ,. but dealt in generalities of a vague sort , trusting that peace and concord among men niight be the result of : the Imperial policy ; The known sentiments of the prelate rendered the contradiction almost superfluous in the Constituiionnel . The weather in the French metropolis has been subjected to similar variations as in London , and on Tuesday night Paris was visited by a hurricane which for violence has not been equalled for many years . It commenced at twelve , and continued until seven in the morning , accompanied by torrents of rain . The weather moderated on Wednesday , but the rain continued . The Grand Chamberlain of the Empebob of Austria , on the 1 st of Janiiary , received the congratulations of the diplomatic corps in place of the Emperor , who did not honour the occasion with his presence . A letter from Vienna , dated January 3 , states that the Governor of Venetia had arrived in Vienna to warn the Cabinet that the province would become ungovernable if concessions were not at once made : he implored the Emperor to take conciliatory steps before compelled to do so by the action of the congress . The Emperor received his faithful servant ' s warning with stolid indifference . - On Sunday , Jan . 1 , a great bat tie was fought between the Spaniards and Moors before Ceuta . The Spanish account claims a victory for their General Prim over 40 , 000 Moors , who lost 1 , 500 men , while the Spaniards only suffered to the amount of 600 ; a very different story is told by the Moors ; but , though the Spanish account is doubtless exaggerated , the Moors really suffered a severe repulse . A telegram of Tuesday * Zrd Jan ., states that three vessels under theEnglish flag had been brought by the Spaniards into AJgesiras from CeUta , accused of carrying contraband of
war-The news from Italy is of interest . On the 1 st of January , a reception was held by King Victor Emmanuel , but no official speechitiaking took place . —In the duchy of Modena , an Monday , 2 nd Jan-j the relations of the boy Murtara made a demand upon the government for the arrest of the Father Inquisitor , FilletLi , accused of kidnapping the boy . The priest is in custody , and awaits his trial . Tile next day , Farini appointed a commission to take charge , of the property of the Company of Jesuits , who have been banished from the states of Parma , Modena , and the Rbmagna , —On Thursday , Jan ., 5 , the intelligence arrived that Garibaldi had resigned his post as president , of tin anti-Mazzini Society , called ' . the'"National , " and has become the head of an association bearing the significant title ; " The Nation Armed . "—At . Home , on Tuesday ; Jan . 3 , the Due de Grammont positively assured the Papal Government that the celebrated " pamphlet"does not express the programme of the French Government in the matter of the Congress . . ! Our Correspondents iii Germany allude to the growing desire in the Northern States for the establishment of naval arsenals and the formation of a . national fleet . A telegram from Berlin , dated on Wednesday , Jan . 4 , informs us that the conference of the German States on the sea-coasts ( which was convoked by Prussia on the 34 th ult . ); for the purpose of discussing the question of fortifying the shores , wiU be opened on the 9 th inst ., at Berlin . Further changes are reported in the government of the Turkish Empire . A Marseilles telegram of Thursday , 5 th Jan ., announces the sudden dismissal of Kibrisli Pacha , and affirms that it was caused
by his demanding a settlement of the debts of the Seraglio and Harem , lliichdi Pacha had been appointed Grand Vizier , and Aali Pacha Prenident of the Tnnzhnafc , which office was formerly held by Ruchdi Pacha . It was believed that Mehemet Kibrisli Pacha would soon be reappointed Grand Vizier . We pro also told that the friends of reform were dispirited , although Ruohdi Pjieha has the reputation of being a reformer . The new Grand Vizier had despatched a note to the European Powers , promising his approval of the iSuez C | anal scheme ; , should they come to an understanding on the question ; and M , do Lesseps was preparing to leave Constantinople , possibly to make what use ho can of this concession . TJie American mai } , which arrived on Tuesday , Jan . 3 , informs us that the United States' House of Representatives had not yet elected their Speaker , and that the President ' s Message therefore remained in abeynnco . The mails from Brazil and the River Plate arrived on Wednesday , Jan , 4 i . Hostilities between Buenoa Ayres and the Argentine Confederation have been terminated , and iv treaty of pence was concluded . Peace being declared , General Urquizu immediately commenced the embarkation of his troops at the Tiyre , sending his horses and . waggons overland , and with such rapidity did ho omimricea
conduct the operation that on tUo 18 th . November he on board tho French war steamer Bisson and returned to San Jose " . His army is by this time completely disbanded , each corps proceeding 1 direct to the province in which it was levied . Tho Porteno volunteers , under tho commund , of Lagos , Laprida , and others , rcrnnin in this province , having 1 placed themselves under tho orders of tho Government , according to instructions issued to thorn by General Urquwi previous to his departure . Until iW'ter tfie meeting of tho convention for tho revision of tho national constitution , Buenos Ayres cannot bo regarded as orid of tine Confederate Provinces , but sho is nevertheless nlreudy incorporated into Ihe Argentine Republic , since sho has ft voice in tho election of the President .
