Miss Fischer as the Marchioness of Berkenfield had very little to do, but she did that little well the scene in the second act, when she is marched about by the Sergeant and Maria being very Iudicrous. Hortensio was well impersonated by Mr. John Hazeland, who was quite at home alongside his professional confrèrit. As Salpizio Mr. Sherwin showed to better advantage than he has bitherto done here-the part of the bluff old sergeant suiting him better than the characters he had previously sustained.

SHOOTING MATCH.

GARRISON SHOOTING CLUB 2, HONGKONG VOLUNTEERS.

A match between the above named teams, eight men aside, seven ahots each at two, four, and five hundred yards with military Martini-Henry rifles or carbines, was brought to an issue at Kowloon on Saturday afternoon, the military marksmen proving victorious by the narrow majority of 14 paints, a result entirely owing to the complete breakdown of Hayllar at the 510 yds. range. The weather was not favorable for good shooting, a heavy rain and strong wind spoiling at the longest range some very promising scores. At zoo yards the scoring was very even, the Volunteers with a total of 234 leading the Club by two points, and at the next range there was also but little difference, the Club, however, reversing positions with 218 to 214. and thus beginning the final range with an advantage of two points. As above stated the elements were all against reliable marksman- ship at 500 yards, and although the Volunteers made a gallant bid for victory, Hayllar's five misses could not be made up, and a defeat by 14 points resulted. The stores are appended

Ilanything could add to the degradation of the Timer avowal it would be the terms in which Sir Richard Webster made his so-called apology. For the credit of the Bar Sir Richard ought to have refused to connect himself with such an ignoble composition.

In the course of the debate T. W. Russell, Liberal Unionist, apparently accused Dillon of paying for the defense of murderers,

After several members hard presented their objections Tisza arose and attempted to reply, but bis voice was drowned by a torrent of hisses and groans from the opposition.

When order was in a measure restored the Prime Minister charged his opponents with attempting to drag the Crown into the struggle, and declared the youths of Hungary had been led astray by false issues. He was repeatedly interrupted, and finally amid much uproar, the debate was adjourned.

ST. PETERSBURG, February 28th,

It is reported that the Czar is scandalized by the irregular life of his brother, and that he has ordered Grand Duke Vladimir to resign the command of the guards.

DUBLIN, February 29th. Two prisoners, named Hanlon and McCaffrey, who are undergoing life sentences for connection with the Phoenix Pask murders, have started for London under police escort, to testify before the Parnell Commission.

PARIS, February 28th.

The Government has decided to suppress the Patriotic League. It is reported that Paul Deroulede, president of the league, and other leaders of that organization have been arrested and will be rotaties Laguerre and Richard,

Deroulede and Deputies members of the organization, are charged with having by hostile acts, such as signing the Alchinoff manifesto, exposed the State to the danger of a declaration of war.

The police to-day took possession of the office of the League. Deroulede declines to answer the charges against. him at present. The sup. pression of the Patriotic League was decided upon at a council held at the Elysée Palace.

Afterward Premier Tirard, Constans, Minister of the Interior, and Thevenet, Minister of Justice, had a conference with the Procureur-General and Prefect of Police with the view of taking concerted action.

M. Delaunay, member of the Right, will raise the question in the Chamber regarding the arrest of the accused Deputies:

In the Chamber of Deputies today Spiller, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to De la Fosse, said he must decline to discuss the Atchinoffincident before Saturday. The Chamber adopted the order of the day, facluding an expression of friendly sentiments towards Russia. At a soirée given to artists and authors to-night General Boulanger said: "It is deplorable that France, who had not fired a gun for so long a time, should now fire on our friends, the Russiana." General Boulanger was the object of much attention from a large number of guests. Laguerre and Lainant were arrested for disrespect to the Commissary of Police. Both were provisionally liberated. Ten warrants were Issued. No warrant was issued for Laguerre. It is the believed the suppression of the Patriotic League is the first of a series of steps to sup. press Boulangism and a pretext to discover the organization of the league. The police to-day made three searches for papers belonging to the league.
