THE Liverpool Correspondent of the Daily News, says:-later advices from the West Coast of Africa report that matters at lonny and New Calabar had assumed a very serious aspect. Unless some action is speedily taken by the British authorities, it is feared that English in terests there will be sacrificed to the warlike pro- pensities of the reigning chiefs, According to the information received, it appears that Oko Jumbo, with the whole strength of his warriors, Left Honny a short time since in war canoes for New Calabar. Immediately on his arrival hosti- lities were actively engaged in, and although victory for the time remained with one party, it was sufficient only to suspend hostilities for a brief period, after which operations were again resumed. A large number on both sides were killed. The horrible barbarities characteristic of of these native wars were afterwards committed, such as the dismemberment of the dead bodies, which were exhibited as tropliics of the encounter. This was the first engagement, low long the hostilities would last it was impossible to predict. On a former occasion the intervention of the Eng- Fish Cansal was necessary to lald a "palaver" and bring about a settlement,

spere; every character in Hamlet wants scholarly handling, and, heaven save the mark, the handling the characters received last night was something which will stick in my memory for a long time to come. The Hongkong public are generous in their support of real talent, but, being a high class and intelligent community PA they know the difference between shoddy and cultured acting, They had a right to expect that au actor of Herr Bandmann's calibre would be properly supported by intelligent actors, and what is the fact? A miserable lot of scare- crews essaying parts for which they are as much unfitted as they possibly could be. A meaner looking King, and more suitk and water Ghost of Hamlet's father, than was given to us last night by Mr. D'Orsay Ogden it would be im- possible to imagine. Mr. Ogden is certainly not such a grand actor as Bandamann or Irving: but if both of them were dead he would be the best living actor of the three. The Polonius of Mr. Russell was simply cruel, and as for the other members of the troupe who strutted their weary, homs as Horatio, Laertes, &e, &e, all of them excellent parts requiring skilful handling, their distinguishing features

THE is correspondent telegraphis from Con- stantinople on April 16th, as follows:-The Terdjumani Hakikei, an officially inspired organ which has intimate relations with the Con stantinople wire-pullers of the Egyptian National party, seems to having repented having made an admission that there was some discord in the ranks of that party. It now declares that there is perfect unanimity of public opinion among Egyptians. Says the editor with exultation - "It must be admitted that no nation has ever shown such patriotism as the Egyptians at this moment. All Mussulmans have raised to the rank of a religious dogma their affection and obedience to the Sultan Abdul Hamid, Caliph and master of Egypt, and direct, all their elfers to securing advantage to the country and resisting whatever may be injurious to it. Two political clubs have

Formerly there was a profound aversion to military service and it was necessary to bring in recruits by force, but now their willing- ness and enthusiasni excite admiration. As thic head of the movement are not only the military commanders but also a number of holy personages and sheikhs of El Aghar Musque, who enjoy such respect among the people that when they speak in an assembly no one interrupts them. Djemayeti Shalar possesses Arabic and French newspapers such as El Mid and Et Taif, which rectify current errors and explain the real situation.

From this it would appear that the only black cloud on the horizon is the danger of foreign intervention. The wire- pullers here, however, are by no means in such a tranquil state of mind as their organ would have us believe. They have discovered, as I have already informed you, that the ex- Khedive, whose remarkable talent for intrigue well-known, had a hand ia the game, and they are already taking measures for the eventuality of Tewtik being deposed. They would like to sec a simple Turkish Vall put in his place, but they know that Europe would not readily tolerate such a departure from the established order of things, and consequently they are disposed to accept Prince Halim as a pis uller on condition that he consents-to-be-a-passive instrument of the Patte Some time ago Halim made promises to this effect, but it is thought that in the event of his nomination it would be well to have some matc rial guarantees for his fidelity.

artistes, were to honor our City with a visit was at once in a good humour with myself and everybody else; the more especially so, as these artistes were coming amongst us with reputa tions of being tragedy merchants of a very fair standard of excellence. When Hanilet was billed as the opening piece, I laid myself out for a re- gular treat, and secured my seat chop chop lest I might be, (what possibly may be the fate of MGUEDES will Sell by Public this letter, though I hope otherwise) crowded out. I have a particular fondness for Hamlet, and am pretty conversant with the language and situa tions of the tragedy, having as far back as thirty years ago, often taken a character in the repre sentation of the play. My reverence for Shakes- pere and the drama generally has not faded, but, like the love of Hamlet's mother for her liege Jord, has gained increase of appetite on what it fed." Having seen Shakesperian performances in most parts of the world, from the lowest priced theatres in our home provincial towns to the leading London theatres, 1 may be allowed to have some opinion on the subject of stage per- formances. A meaner performance of Hamlet) than that of last evening it has never been my
lot to witness, and I consider that the public of Hongkong, have been cruelly imposed upon. We were led to believe that an intelligent representation of the play would be giveri, and' am sure that the reception accorded the first appearance of the Bandmann troupe, so far as a crowded house went, must have realized their most sanguine expectations. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not going to attempt any severe criticism on the performance of last night by go- ing into minute detail, my object in writing this letter, in my own interest and in the interest of a very large section of our community is to give the "Great Tragedian" a little sound advice in the hope that he will profit by it. Admitting that Herr Bandmann is all that can be desired baning Loving.or Booth)-as-Hamlet, l-most-em- phatically assert that he might have been as great aduffer as ever donned the sock and buskin so far as the success of the play of last night was concemed, as one actor cannot pull through Shake-
