CAST IRON CHURCH.-St. George's Church, Everton, Liverpool, is an object of considerable interest for its taste, and as having been nearly the first iron church erected in Great Britain. The whole of the frame-work of the windows, doors, groins, roofs, pulpit, ornamental enrichments, are of cast-iron. The length is 119 feet, the breadth is 47. It is ornamented by a splendid cast-iron window of stained glass. It is not, perhaps, generally known that a great proportion of the larger manufactories erected in England within the last ten years are all iron except the walls. And within two years past, several cottages aud country villas have been put up near London, which are exclusively cast-ironwalls, doors, steps, roof, chimnies, sash, &c. In England, where wood is dear and Iron cheap, the first coast of such buildings is less than those of timber. In durability and beauty, they are, of course, unequalled. When once finished, such buildings require no repairs; and the most finely-carved ornaments cost little more than plain castings. -Cambridge Chronicle.

BITE FROM A CENTIPEDE IN THE WEST INDIA Docks. A dock labourer, on board the Caroline, just from Jamaica, felt a violent bite in the lower part of the thigh, when he perceived a large centipede firmly adhering to his flesh. Too much shocked to touch the venomous reptile himself, he called to some of the men, who, with difficulty, caused it to relinquish its hold, as they wished to preserve it as a curiosity: in length it was nearly ten inches. The wound bled considerably, and pained him much; he walked to the London Hospital, where the part was cut out to the circumference of a halfpenny, and half an inch deep.

THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.-Foreign Affair; or, the Court of Queen Anne.-A new piece under this title was produced in the middle of August. The whole amusements of this burletta centres in the exploits of a boy-man of the age of sixteen years-than whom no one is of greater importance, no one more difficult to be dealt with, nor in this instance is his self importance much to be wondered at, for a wife is bona fide appropriated to him, yet is he to be debarred from her delightful society until he has attained the full age of twenty-one years. This is not the time of life when play things of any kind are to be kept treasured up for these hopeful creatures, and, accordingly, this hero fails not to use every trick to gain the lady who belongs to him-who, however, on her part, has either more sense or more judgment, we know not which, to care a straw for this no doubt highly interesting, intellectual, and most fascinating pastime. But to the details of this, by no means untakeable piece. The Marchioness of Dumbarton (Mrs. W. Clifford), anxious to obtain the alliance of a noble house, marries her daughter, Lady Bell (Miss P. Horton), to the Count St. Louis (Mademoiselle Celeste), aged 16, a French scion of Royal blood. The youth likes the marriage, but not the separation, and, to the astonishment of his mamma-in-law, insists that the objectionable clause shall be struck out of the contract. In vain, however, does the boy-husband stamp and storm; he is not to have his wife. The Queen, too, orders him to leave the court, and the Duchess of Ormond exposes him to the derision of all around, by sending him a box of sugar-plums as a wedding gift. Contriving to avoid the exile, he conceals himself in the palace, but an interview with his wife proves that she unites with the rest of the court in despising him, for she calls him a child, and utters unpleasant jests about bon-bous. distracted boy, determined to be thought a child no longer, magnanimously resolves making up to every maid, wife, and widow of the court-sends billets in all directions, and commences his career by slipping into the chamber of the maids of honor which had been left open by mistake.

The

The boy, in the second act, is confined to his room by the Queen's orders, the fame of his exploits having travelled about town. One of his billets was written by Sir James Courtall (Webster), a court roué, who has designs upon Lady Bell, though paying addresses to Lady Grace (Miss Charles), a maid of honor. The form of the billet having been given to the boy, to save the trouble of copying, he sends it off to Lady Grace signed with his own name. The maid of honor recognizing the hand, calls on the

young Count and reveals to him the designs of Courtall, when footsteps being heard, she conceals herself in a closet, whence she is to emanate on his clapping his hands. The wife (Mrs. Stirling) of Baron Fitzstoutz (Strickland), formerly a tailor's widow, who has married her present husband for the opportunity of going to court, is the next visiter. She also received a billet from the Count; hearing that the Queen has resolved to arrest him, and, moreover, feeling an interest in the little she man, to warn him goes of his fate. Another noise, and the Baroness is concealed in another apartment. The Baron and the roué then pay their respects to the youth, teaching him the wholesome doctrine that it is impossible to make his wayin the world without an intrigue or a duel. The boy, to prove that he is accomplished in intrigue, places Sir James opposite the door where the Baron's wife is concealed, and the Baronet opposite to the hiding-place of Sir James's mistress; then, clapping hands, he makes each lady appear for a moment, and affords each of his visitors an opportunity of laughing at the other's misfortune. Changing the position of the gentleman, and again causing the doors to open, the boy produces a very different result; the husband is enraged at sight of his wife, the lover no less indignant at sight of his mistress. Hence the other accomplishment-the duel. The boy has to fight both lover and husband, and defeats both, while he so much interests his wife that she visits him unknown to her mother, and professing her affection the Queen rewards his gallantry with a regiment. The estimable youth then departs for the wars, promising not to return till of age, to please his mother-in-law.

The situations render the dialogue piquant, and the piece grows more and more amusing as it proceeds, though none of such intriguing pieces are to our liking. The audience were kept in a roar by the petulance of Celeste; half man, half boy, the self-importance assumed, and the bursts of rage when that self-importance awakened no corresponding sensation in others, were highly clever. The piece mainly rested in this character; but Mrs. Stirling, as the awkward city lady, constantly committing breaches of decorum when at court, Miss P. Horton, who sulked at the sight of her boy husband, and Mrs. W. Clifford, alternately filled with rage and indignation at the audacity of his exploits, contributed to keep up the spirit of the piece. The audience were in high glee at every movement of the youthful man.

shawl.

A parley ensues, and the fortuitous knot like their future destiny, is loosened. The parting was but temporary, for the postillion who was to have conducted her having vanHer perseished, she is forced to return. cutor still persists in his course, and the lady vents her distress; the gentleman overhears her lamentations, and to save her from annoyance, declares himself to be her husband, which puts the obnoxious stranger to flight. This is a clever ruse, but the consequences become extremely embarrassing. The hostess, believing the tale, arranges for the supposed man and wife to sleep in the same apartment. The couple are, accordingly, locked in; a series of expostulations and entreaties ensue on the part of the lady, which are obstinately resisted by the gentleman. He is, however, at length persuaded to depart by the window, descending a trellis: when the lady imagines herself extricated from her delicate situation, a loud barking is heard, and Keeley scrambles back through the window with sundry bites from a watch-dog below. They must spend the night, therefore, in the same chamber; a treaty is passed, similar to the celebrated one in Sterne's Sentimental Journey, except that the separation is of a more abstract nature, being merely a chalk line drawn across the room. By force of circumstances the treaty is broken again and again, till one is finally formed-a matrimonial tre aty-and with its acceptal by the lady, the piece concludes. The piece turns upon a number of minute incidents, extremely well managed, which produce a great deal of laughter. Mr. Selby has performed his task with great tact and smartness, and we doubt not the piece will be successful, though these class of pieces is anything but acceptable to our critical

taste.
