"DEAD OR ALIVE" AT THE CITY HALL.
The score or two of people who were present at City Hall last night had, what our comic ercing contemporary would term, "a gay time of it." A musician of the modern school thumped an interininable polka out of the old musical case, misnamed a piano; Miss Beaudet warbled in gusting accents-if not with musical accuracy— the ballad "Have I not been kind to thee;" and the Bandmann-Beaudet Combination appeared in

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON THE CAPTAIN OF A CHINESE WAR JUNK.
THREE AMERICANS UNDER ARREST.
We hear from reliable sources that serious
trouble has arisen at Ningpo, and the foreign community have been placed in a position of danger. It seems that on the night of the 13th, three Americans and an Austrian had gone ashore at, Ningpo for a spree. The Americans were lorchas,-one is Cap.

weak adaptation from the French, of a play enti- fled "Dead or Alive," originally written for Herr Bandmann, and played with great success by that eminent artiste at the Queen's Theatre, London, about a dozen years ago. For the first time during the present season, the audience could honestly enjoy a hearty laugh at the low comedy of Miss Fergusson and Mr. Russell, to say nothing of the amusement caused by the bid fashioned blood and thunder, exeniplified in the melodramatic ravings of the extraordinary char
acters drawn by Mr. Tom Taylor from the stilted
exaggerations of his French contenquraries. The audience although they could not avoid laughing at the ridiculous hernies of Colonel de Mouricane, apparently enjoyed the realistic acting of Mr. Banlmann, especially in the last act, although the get-ig) of the renowned tragedian (?) when he appears in the lawyer's office in the shabby gar ments and glossy" tile" of an old-clo man, rather took the effect of his wild deciamnation. "Dead or Alive” is about the weakest, and most stupid of the many weak and 'stupid adaptations which Mr. Tom Taylor borrowed from the French, and produced on the English stage as his own handi- work. The plot of the play, (Mr. Handmann describes the adaptation as a comedy-drama, whatever that may mean) may be described

Eighteen years are supposed to clapse between the f and second acts. It is quickly made 'apparent that The Mourienne was killed at Aus- terlitz, and that De Laval married his widow, who shortly afterwards joined the majority. The interest of the play is then confined to Melainie, the daughter of the Culonel, and an old person, who has been in every madhouse between the Khine and the Seine for asserting that he is the Count de Maurienne, who was killed at Auster litz. Of course it is proved in the end that this old madman is actually the Count, who was passed as dead, and actually buried on the fick of Austerlitz. but who recovered, and has since been confined in different lunatic asylums. It would be too wearisome to detail how this finale is approached, the scenes being full of glaring improbabilities, which even dra matic license scarcely justify.

Should the attempt be made is that the Tita, even if willing, will not be able to remove the prisoners to Shanghai, it is expected that the Cantonese would rise at once to prevent it; and then again, if the victim dies, the safety of the prisoners at Ningpo is very questionable, The foreign community at Ningpo feel they have more to fear than the Shanghai people had to fear from a mob of Niagpo carpenters and masons, as it is doubtful if the Cantonese would stop at vengeance on the three offenders. However, there is hope that the event will pass aver pence fully. There is a universal feeling of disgust against the prisoners, and it is to be hoped they will be adequately punished.
Meanwhile, the Admiralty might be interested to know that not a single British gunboat has entered Nings during the last two months, and the last one that did had orders to remain only 48 hours. Neither has there been an American gun-vessel in Ningpo' for over a year. On this subject a correspondent writes: "I think it is extremely questionable whether Admiral Willes has any right to monopolize all the China gun- boats for a cruize with him, and tell off one once in two or three months to pay a visit, not exceeding 43 hours, te

Those gunboats were chiefly intended to take care of the coast port communities of China, and I am curtain the Admiral is doing wrong in keeping them away as he does. A gunboat would be a very welcome visitor at present."- Mercury
We have in a previous notice stated that Herr Bandinann's melodramatic acting was a rough copy of a style made popular by the late Charles Fechter. Mr. Bandmann, is in fact M. Fechter, without possssing the French actor's refinement, and delicacy of execution. This resemblance may be accidental; but if so, it is unquestionably a remarkable coincidence. However, there can be no denying that Mr. Bandmann's inpersonation of Count de Mourienne is powerful and realistic, although much better in the later than in the earlier scenes. In the first act, or prologue, the actor certainly failed to create a favourable im- pression; but as the old madman he on several occasions displayed dramatic powers of a high order. A very large share of the success which the performance achieved was certainly due to Mr. Bandmann. We could not help laughing at "THAMES-STREET INDUSTRIES," by Percy ons part of the performance, When doubt, is | Russell. This Illustrated Pamphlet on Perfumery, thrown on the supposed madman's story, it is re&c., published at ud, may be had gratis from any marked that the death of the Count de Mourienne Chemist or dealer in perfumery in the World, or
JOHN GOSNELL & Co., London. [ADYT.] Awas reported in the papers. Last night at this passage, Herr Bandmann glared defiantly into vacancy, and in tones meant to be awfully im- pressive bellowed out "I have come here to correct the press." We sincerely hope he has. Our morning and evening contemporaries are sadly in want of correction. The post of censor is really too much for one person, so that the resuscitated Colonel's offer of support in this respect could not have come at a more opportune time.
With the exception of the Count, the whole of the characters in " Dead or Alive" are of minor importance, mere satellites revolving round the star. Miss Beaudet, arrayed in wondrous attire, had very little to do as Melainic, but that little she did well. Mr. D'Orsay Ogden as the Duc de Laval gave a very good sketch of the unscrupu lous French nobleman, but the character is a colourless one, presenting no opportunities to the actor of making a favourable impression. Miss Fergusson as Maranga a vivandiere, and Mr. Russo Simioneu a lawyer's clerk, created La deal of amusement, displaying an appret Son of comedy acting for which we had not previously given them credit. Mr. Inmann was stagey and stiff as Dr. Fieldhein, and not

Commission Merchant,
6, Peldar's Hill Hongkong, 28th April, 1882,
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Post in Tins are requested to 'have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tins securely in the mall bags. It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 1 inches is suggested as a good size--The this should not have sharp
comers.
