In an ordi nary-looking penholder a =all tube is introduced, terminating in an open mouth, which is placed is clam proximity to the slit of the pen. This tube is filled by turning the seal at the top of the holder ; and thee, if the seal is turned ilia other way, the ink will immediately flow into the pen, which may thus be kept replenished for • eon 'Movable tines without having recourse to the inkstand. The as at inventkm, ye rather set of inventions, exhibited were of br pear impeetance, their object being to ripply W leng-eladdiented means of communiattlen between the rust got the driver of railway trains. The investor. Mr. W. H. Myers, of 202, Wkitschapel-road, has in het 'reggae,/ a mob et signalling which may be adapted to every conceivable requirement of the railway service. Mr. Myers's speeraths is • pneumatic one. He proposes to place • pipe under melt carriage, the ends to be connected by flexible tubing, wide!' may be instantly attached to each other or disconnected. In the guard's compartment he would then place a force-pump, and thus, by a stroke or two of the piston the guard would be enabled to convey • signs] to the driver. In each compartment of the peasenger carriages he reposes to place • simple contrivance, by which a red disk in the day time or • lamp at night might be displayed on the roof of the carriage. This it le expected would immediately attract the notice of the guard, who in his turn would immediately direct the driver to stop. Mr. Myers has another very im portant contrivance, by which the station-master would be enabled to signal an approaching train in a manner which it would be imposeible for the persons in charge of it to overlook. He proposes to attach both to the engine and to the break a small shaft, which would almost touch the Mil. The station-master by means of • sliding apparatus similar to that already in use fee another purpcee, would be able to Interpol at any convenient &steno, a small spring which would otithe these shafts, and they would immediately turn en the engine whistle, and set in motion in the guard's coupes tenant • bell &thrum, or, if preferred, • rattle. A number of move• able splines wou ld be carried with each train, and in the event of • break-down they could be screwed on to the lino in the rear of the train which had tbua came to • eland-still. This simple invention would not only be much more effective than the fog signals now in use, but it would render unneces sary the very dangerous prom-roe which have to be gone through in ruder to manufacture the explosive signals now in use. Mr. Myer. ha. some minor suggestions well deeming the attention of railway directories. The next invention shown was Stevens's bread-making machine, the object of which is to render onneceowary any handling oif the dough by the baker. Mr. Stevens, it may be added, has demonstrated that the London public requires its daily bread of • whiteners which can scarcely be secured without adulteration, and at a prix below that at which it can fairly be produced. Whether pure bread, however, would sot be a cheaper article in the end, its use both diminishing the doctor's bill and rendering unnecemery the relishre which am required to assist the deglutition of the adultemttli ahimy rut,bieh which too often does duty for "the staff of life." is a question which Mr. Stevens's coatroom would pniteibly answer in the affirmative. At all events, the com pany, having had an opportunity of fur once tasting it, ap peared to be unanimously converted to the view. of Dr. Hawaii and the other opponents of food adulteration.

Fleming, Req.' " On that day the clinician, la order to fill up the number presaited by the deed of settlement, appointed the nu • holder of 40 shame, • director. On the 16th of September, • meethg, convened by advertisement, was held at the cars of Mr. Flom*, for the purpose of receiving • repeat end from the committee of shareholders. At that reset- Cir al wm found that the committee of shareholders consisted at .evea persona holding among them 66 shares, and the meettag Ind without result, showing the directors that it was hoptLr to look for advice or mastance from the scr olled committee of shareholders. The directors having already, at two separate general meetings, diem:used the formation of the company—the price given for the gardens and the trasse—the mode of payment (entirely in shares) — the duration of the teams sad the covenants contained in them—have nothing more to state on these point.. Dub conduct has been formally approved by a general mesting ; and at a large meeting and by Mr. W. A. Coombe, held an the 30th of April last, no person could be foend to second • vote of disapproval of any act of the directors. The deed of settlement, which every shareholder entitled to vote in the affairs of the company has signed, contains the NUR recitals on all these matters, and concealment of the truth was neither ought, nor was it possible. For more than 12 months the question of renewal - of one of the leases her been in agitation—the conaderation to be given being the main sub ject of discussion, the gentleman who, being a shareholder of one share, acts as a solicitor for a corn/MC.oot shareholdons, and also as solicitor for the landlords of one moiety, &mewling a surrender of the present lease of eleven years, and en il3llll, dime increase of rental to a very considerable amount. The director. will submit to the shareholder. whether they who studiously week to depredate the value of their property, @mating at one time that the lease I. valueless, and asking at another a large premium for its renewal, can be friend' of the company, and whether the motive" avowed am the real ones. The directors have been charged with having upended an improvident sum upon the holdings of the hall end refreshment rooms. The amount is large, but it has been actually incurred in the belief that the outlay would be remunerative. What has been done could not have been effected at leas cost ; the authorised capital has not been se °sided, and the directors appeal to the shareholders whether fault should be imputed to them for carrying out the original plan and intent of the compsny.The mode in which the gardens have been conducted has been praised by the magistrates of the courts for the district in which they ere situate, and the directors have kept up the character of the (sedans in every way. The directors - ban been charged with raising money upon bills of exchange. This charge was only made to pre judice them with the shareholders, and the parties making it keew that it wee untrue. No money has been raised upon bills. When memos to whom money war Andy owing from the company wished to have an acceptance for the amount due, the mastery, by order of the board, has given sock acceptance, payable at the bankers' of the company, and on amount of the compeny. Such acceptances ware mere ac knowledgments of debts actually due, and could not be used by the directors in any way to rise moony. Having alluded to the past, the directors would now propose their plane for the future. Individually they would be glad to give up their office, but they do not think it right to the general body of shareholders to abendoa so large a p= to the caprice of parties having little therein. The position of the company stands thus: It owes to mortgage creditors, for money tint, 9,6001. To mortgage ceeditors, for work and labour done, 6,0001. To general creditors about 10,5001. The directors believe that 25,0001. will cover all real demands. If the ample contract creditors will agree to accept perferentla charges upon the property of the company for their debts, there can be no difficulty in arranging for the future. If they refuse to do so, the mortgagees will compel • isle, and the creditors be left to the probable morphia The directors advise the shareholders no longer to be managers of musical entertainment.. Experience has taught them that no com pany out cepa or deal with the theatrical or medal world. ad They viee the shareholders to let their prowl , for an annual rental. The amount which ma be obtained for the Royal Surrey Crude= will give an amp le sum to pay interest and dividend for the shareholders, with a surplus fond to liquidate mortgages and debta.lThis is the recommendation of the directors; if acceded to, they believe it can be carried out to their mutual advantage. The directors will propose that the commissioner of the court to whom the peti tion for winding up I. referred be plowed to adjourn the hearing of the petition, with protection to the property of the company, until they can carry out the proposed arrangement, or see reason to abandon it as hopeless. The directors, by the concurrent teetimmly of all parties, and justified by pony from various persons to take the i ic' and dou bt that • valuable propertz ,4. to the share holders. tiader these circumstances this ‘ and entreat their calm consideration. directors s i tsieVo ' conceal nothing; the booke of the company have been open to all, and (lying done is faithfully recorded therein. They have, perha ps, treated the charges made against them too lightly, or they despised the calumny ; but the time has now eons when they are prepared to give an answer, ae they always were to challenge inquiry, and they ask only junks for their aces." (Cheers.) Now that was the report which would have been read in the regular swum of Weimer, and they now had it before them. He was not aware if any motion had been made, but if not. be should conclude with one. The CHAT &MAN—Me motion le that the third resolutice to the notice convening the meeting be taken Brat. Mr. Corrotc—lf that motion had not been seconded, he would have seconded it; but as it had been pot before the meeting he would move en amendment, and the meting should decide whether the directors, the portico against whom such charges had been mods, were justly charged, and whether they were to continue in office. The directors would have been glad to have others added to their numbers, and they would have been glad to resign their places to other persons better qualified to fill them, but they would not resign them to !sermons who were not in a position to maintain the credit of the com pany. He would move as an amendment —"That the report of the directors this day read be received and approved. That this meeting confirms the proceedings of the previous general meetings of the shezelolders, believing that the conduct of the director' up to the present time has been ac tuated by a sincere devils to promote the interests of the company. That the charges made against the directors of raising money upon bills, and of unfair dealing with the pro perty of the cowpony, are in the opinion of the meeting totally devoid of truth, and that the accuostionsmade against them ace unjust, and brought forward by parties whose in teriore are in opposition to the shareholders." He moved that amendment, intending it to meet the charges made against the directors. Mr. CHAPPELL seconded the amendment. After • very long diecussion, Mr. Coppock's amendment was put and negatived by a large majority. The original motion was then pot and carried. Mr. FLoccino moved, "that the four directors named in the requisition be removed from the directorship, and four others appointed in their stead." Mr. Mg:OH/in, seconded the motion. Mr. Vto rose to move an amendment. He said his amendment cast no reflection on the existing committee of ehareheldere, which was in a certain eense erif-conetituted ; but the present meeting could nut deal with the result of their labours, se they had presented no printed report. He begged to move as an amendment, " That a committee of ehensholders he appointed to investigate the whole of the accounts and attain of the company, and report thereon • and for that purpose that the prevent meeting be adjourned to November 20, at the same time and piece as the present ing." Mr. Joints seconded the amendment, urging that en inde pendent committee of shareholders—of large shareholden— should be appointed; let them investigate the account., and let them ales investigate the charges against Mr. Coombe, After some further discussion the amendment was put and carried. A very noisy and angry discussion then arose with toler ance to the person. who were to constitute the committee. Mr. Vining first proposed that the committee should consist of seven members, of whom four should be members of the old committee. This was strenuously objected to, and Mr. Fleming moved that the new committee should consist of 12 members, and include the whole of the old committee—seven in number. After a good deal of confused, excited, and desultory discussion, Mr. Coombe withdrew his name, and a committee of 12 persons was appointed, six of whom wee, members of the old shareholders committee. Mr. NtenoLts moved a vote of thsethe to the chairman, praise the excellent temper which he had exhibited during th ' e rr i ? P s mined to unanimously, and the proceedings, which had commenced at two o'clock, terminated at five minutes to six.

The theetre wee crowded to the doors, and the performance wee applauded to the echo. This opera, many of our renders will remember, is just a musical version of the French play Don Clear do AMIN, which was once so popular on the English stone that it we, performed at three of our principal theatres at the some time. The open was produced at Drury-lano when that theatre was an English opera-house under the manage ment of Kr. Bonn. It had a great run for several seasons, mad became so familiar to the public that its principal airs, like those of Belle's Bohemian Girl, wife ground on barrel organs in every street. And it droned ire meows. Wallace bioneofourmostaccomplished mosidans,andhasdistinguishell himself in several branches of the art, being notionly • vocal composer, but an excellent pianist and the author of many favourite pieces for that instrument. Naritetsa is ,an opera of girt merit. In the libretto (which is by Mr. Fitzball) the spirit of the original play is well preserved. The plot is cleverly constructed, with many effective incidents end minis tione, leading to • sulking and interesting dieousment. The music on the whole is admirable. Much of it, especially the concerted and choral pieces, are highly animated end dramatic; and many of these may be compared, by no means diaadvantageoualy, to the beet things of Auber. Many of the airs, too, are melodious, graceful, expressive, and admi relay calculated to display the best qualities of a singer. The work, however, has the fault which appears in every modern opera written for the English stage. It is loaded with bal lads ad oaptandess, stuck in d propos de rim, without the slightest connexion with the subject of the piece or the Weimer of the scene; being intended in the first place to give the principal singers opportunities of making displays and gaining encores, end next, to obtain a sale at the music shops. Some of them are pretty enough in themselves; but to anybody who values the dramatic character and effect of an opera they ere disagreeable and provoking. They en tirely stop the current of the action, destroy the interest of the play, frieze any warmth of interest which may have been excited, pat en end to everything like scenic Simian, and reduce the performer, from being the representative of a character, to the condition of • mere singer in a concert-room. None of our English operas are free from this deformity ; but rime of them, WO think, are so loaded with it as this opera of Maritotta. It is literally stuck full of these unmeaning excremencee ; and the worst of it is that they become mom frequent end lengthy as the piece advances ; so that the march of the action is mere and more retarded when it ought to become more and more rapid. Ditty after ditty, we confer, quite exhausted our patience ; but • portion, at least, of the audience seemed to feel differently, for they ap plauded and encored vehemently; so that the object for which these things were introduced was gained. We cannot Hems composers or performers for doing what they find agreeable to the taste of the public ; but we trust that the public, by better acquaintance with the masterpieces of the foreign musical stage, will come to demand that the music of the stage shall have a dramatic character and meaning. The performance of last night is entitled to the high est praise. Indeed, we think that the opera wee heater and more completely given than when it was Snit produced at Drury lane. The character of the heroine has never been more agreeably acted than by Mims Louisa Pyres; nor has the music of the part ever been half so well sung. Her voice was beautiful, her execution brilliant and exquisitely finished, her style full of grace and delicacy, and her expres sion warm end animated. Mr. Maniacs ins the original re presentative of Don Nair de Baran; it was alwsysone of his happiest efforts, and he now slap and acts it better than ever. Even if Mr. Harrima were not a singer at all, his performance would dorm to be esteemed apiece of excellent, rendre comedy. Where the music Is dramatic in itself, he sings it with true dramatic effect. If ha sometimes forgets that he is Don Cesar, and becomes Mr. Harrison, the singer, labouring in his vocation, the fault le not his—he only does what every one else must do is themes mac. In the little pert of the Page, Miss Susan Pyne acted with graoe and haling, and sang very sweetly. Mr. Wall did all jua time to the somewhat ponderous part of Don Joie de , Santarem; and Mr. Ferdinand Glover, • young singer who has recently become known to the public, and who sustained the character of the King, de lighted everybody by the 'meaty of his rich baritone voice, and his pure Italian style; but, es an actor, be has every thing to learn. The opera was mat upon the stage with the completeness, good Mete, and splendour for which the management of Mir Fyne end Mr. Harrison is already distinguished. The orchestra and chorus on by far the beet that we have ever heard in an English theatre, and Wallsoe's music gave them ample opportunity of showing their powen. We have had pleasure in hearing that Balfe is busily em ployed in the oompoeit ion of an open for this theatre, that a large portion of it is completed, and that it will be epeedlly produced. THE DRAMA HAYMARKET. Doting the last few months the Haymarket has attained a somewhat unenviable notoriety as the arena for the Bret displays of maim= provincial &Mims and amateurs panting for metropolitan renown. Persona without the slightest natural gilt for acting came out, flickered feebly for • short period, and then went in again —never to be again heard of. Bo that the regular playgoer began to grow doubtful as to the attraction of sitting in a hot theatre to see a novice timidly 'hulling or doggedly blundering through a character, half-frightened, half encouraged by the vociferous cheering of enthualastic but mistaken friends. However, the debutante of last night, Miss Amy Sedgwick, brought with her from Manchester au a:cello:it reputation, stamped not only Ly provincial applause—which is in Seel! but • poor criterion of dramatic ability—but by the approbation of metropolitan critics and actors who in the course of their summer wanderings have singled out this young lady from the herd of aspirants premed upon their notice. The Lady of Lyons was the play, and Mies Sedgerick is admirably adapted for the heroine : her figure is tall and rueful, her features handsome and mobile, her elocution very clear and well modulated. All Ler move ments are those of the best clam of actress, thoroughly at home upon the stage, and well-trained in the arcane of her profession : a little over-trained, perhaps, or the only defect to be observed last night was that throughout she was • little too artificial, and lacking in natural impulse. There is, however, not the least doubt that Miss Soignee§ has been the moat promising and satisfactory debut that we have had for some time, and that is such characters as those sustained by Miss Helen Faucit she will prove • very great acquisition to the stage. She was warmly applauded throughout, and twice recalled at the fell of the curtain. We cannot conclude our notice without paying a warm tri bute to the manner in which Claude Melnotte was acted by Mr. Howe. This gentleman has always been known as a steady, reliable, conscientious actor, but there are few per sona, we opine, who would have given him credit for possess ing the power, fervour, and natural gentlemanly pathos with which he invested the character. He shared the honours of the evening with Mims Sedgerick. ADELPHI. Last night Mr. T. P. Cooke appeared in that cha racter in which be will for ever be endeared to one mind, in " West's theatrical characters—Harry Halyard, in My roll and fay Partner Joe—and delighted a full house by the fresh nen and rigour with which he shivered his timbers, loved his I'oll, bemoaned his friend's perfidy, and took put in • double hornpipe.
