A city which has devoted itself fi > r a long period of timo to promote the progress of tho cherished art of musio has a special call to congratnlato yonr Royal Highness upon tho gratifying result of your
laborious effort to establish an Imperial School of Musio worthy of oar country and of tho royal zeal which called it into existence .

Wo have seen with satisfaction that your Royal Highness—following your father ' s great conception of duty—has constantly identified yourself with every notable effort for the bettor education of onr people , tho promotion of onr commerce , and tho progress of tho arts . As one of tho old walled cities of England ,

Wo look forward with anxious interest to tho result of the exhaustive inquiiies into this subject still being pursued by tho Royal Commission , whose labours your Royal
Highness has shared with characteristic devotion . We desire to offer a welcome of heartfelt sincerity to your Rojal and gracious Princess , whose sweet , benignant grace and courtesy havo won tho fealty and love of onr race in all lands ; and wo also crave the opportunity to congratulate yonr Royal Highness and tho Princess of Wales upon the approaching majority of your eldest son , His Royal Ilighnesa

the monogram "A . E . and A , " and the city arms ancl motto being shown on the covers . Tho address was formally handed to the Prince by the Mayor , who received in return the subjoined written reply , which was subsequently read to the Corporation , in the Assembly Room , by the Town Clerk : —
Mr . Mayor and Gentlemen , —I can assure you that the Princess of Wales and I have received your address with unfeigned pleasure . We desire to thank you most sincerely for it , and for yonr heart y welcome to yonr ancient ancl " faithful " city . Your sentiments of devotion to the Crown and of affectionate regard towards ourselves and the other members of the Roval Family satisfactorily prove to
me that Worces ! er has not departed from thoso grand traditions which have rendered her celebrated for her loyalty in past years . I rejoice , however , that in the more quiet times which wc now enjoy you have been able to devote your attention to tho cultivation of peaceful pursuits ; to the encouragement of music , in which I tako so strong and personal an - interest , to the improvement in the
manufacture of porcelain , and to the improvement iu tho dwelling places of the working classes . To this latter snbject I have in common with my able and energetic colleagues on the Royal Commission devoted mnch labour and thonght , and I can only pray that our united efforts may be crowned with success . We thank you for your kind congratulations on tho approaching majority of our eldest son , whom we fervently trust may
strive to follow in tlie steps of his lamented grandfather , both in hia high conception ci * duty , and in his well-directed endeavours to ameliorate the c ^ rd'Hon of his fellow creatures . We anticipate much pleasure from i : u- linifc to-day to your renowned Porcelain Works , and we earnest ^ trust that an opportunity may be afforded us at some futnre date of returning to your town and of being able to inspect at greater leisure than is permitted us on the present occasion the many works of interest and importance your city contains .
AN ENGLISHMAN IN SIDNEY . — " Thero is nothing un-English in Sydney , " says a recent visitor , " it seems to partake of all the best characteristics of an English city in summer-time ; but what struck me most was the absence of tho painful careworn expression which pervades an English crowd , especially in London , Manchester , or Liverpool . Again , I saw no beggars , unless in the sh tpe of
organgrinders and other itinerant musicians ; iu fact , none of the Whitechapel or Deansgato element , Saturday night in Gecrge-street reminding me more of an English holiday than anything else , so well-dressed and cheerful is the crowd . Talking of holichys , there never was such a holiday-loving people ns the Sydney 'cs . A ot
content with a dozen public holidays daring the year , they get up harbour picnics ancl excursions on the slightest pretence , and whnt is more , appear to enjoy them thoroughly , bnt there is li : tie or no dronkenness . All this tells ila own tale of industrial progress and prosperity . "

STANDARD THEATRE .
A VERY snccessfnl dramatic season at tho Standard Theatre - £ * - camo to a brilliant closo last Saturday night with a complimentary benefit to tho Lessee , Bro . John Douglass . A gathering of professional friends had volunteered their services , and gave the multitude assembled within the house a rare intellectual treat . The evening commenced with " Still Waters run Deep , " and those who conld remember tho Mildmay of Alfred Wigan , the Hawksley of
Vinir . g , tho Mrs . Stornhold of dear Mrs . Stirling , might feel misgivings as to the result of a latter day interpretation , which misgivings , however , would soon havo disappeared on Saturday . The p lay went with smoothness and completeness , as though tho artists were giving their hundredth rather than their first performance of tho comedy together on theso boards . Miss Amy Steinberg
interpreted the difficult character of Mrs . Sternhold with incisive force ; sho gives an almost tragic intensity to the passion of the outraged woman , so that in her wrongs one forgets tho domestic tyrant . To mako Mrs . Sternhold touch the sympathy of an audience demands no littlo tact and power . Miss Steinberg held her audience quite nnder a spell . Mr . Arthor Dacre ' a Mildmay was excellent ,
quite natural , dignified , and with an under current of latent power always indicated . Mr . Dacre has greatly improved of late ; the mannerisms which a ^ ono time threatened , havo been nearly or wholly overcome . Mr . Maeklin ' s Capt . Hawksley was a thoroughly good ancl careful portrait , free from melodramatic grimace ; an essentially honest Iago . The great scene of Lancashire versus London ,
in Hawksley s library , was splendidly played ; every word and gesture marked with unerring touch in the gradual sapping of tho Captain ' s defences , and his final surrender at discretion to tho man whose ruin ho has planned . Tho scene closed amid the most enthnsiastio plaudits . Arthnr Williams relieves the serious stress of the action bv somo excellent comedy touches as tho detective Dunbilk , and
clever Mr . Sheppard was fine as tho disinterested legal Nemesis Ginilet , who proposes a pair of handcuffs with genial apologies . Though the part has only half-a-dozen lines , it becomes a capital study from life . Carlotta Addison made a graceful and tender Mrs . Mildmay . Mr . Gnrney a good Potter , not quite so dictatorial as the historical Potter . After the final act all the artists wero
enthusiastically recalled , and Miss Steinberg especially marked out for recognition . In the fourth Act of " 'Twixt Axe and Crown , " an adap . tation , by Tom Taylor , from the German , " Princess Elizabeth "—Miss Steinberg as the princess—gave the succeeding emotions of terror at her own ghastly imaginations , defiance of Bishop Gardner ' s insults , and love for Courteney with both power and refinement . Mr . Sass made a chivalric Courteney , speaking his lines clearly ancl with feeling ,
of the rest " , non ragiou di lor . " The evening closed with " Nita ' s First , performed by the original company , and its rattling , mad fun lost nothing by its transferance hither . The big house in Bishopsgate was filled with laughter from pit to ceiling , rising in crescendo through the three Acts until tho curtain fell at midnight , not to rise again until Christmas Eve brings the Lessee new triumphs with his great Pantomime .
The members of the Royal Arthur Lodge of Instruction , No . 1360 , tire desirous of extending a welcome to visitors on Thursday evening , lst January 1885 , when Bro . James Stevens will deliver Iris highly interesting lecture on the ritual of the first degree , at the Collegiate School , Worple Road , Wimbledon . Lodgo will be opened at 7 o'clock .
Bro . Lord Plinikct , ivl i ; . 3 just been elected to succeed Dr . R . Chenevix French in tbo Archu'piscopul see of Dublin , has , for some years past , held the office of a Grand Chaplain to the Grand Lodge of Ireland .
