FATHER OAVAZZI'S TWELFTH ORATION YESTERDAY AT THE PRINCESS'S CON CERT HALL. the Suloos. - The following is translated from the Diario ds .Gaulle, Jun. 17, Deal : The arrival of the steamer Reina de Castilla, with the Commander-General of Marine and Government Secretary, has afforded us the pleasure of learning that his Excellency the Governor and Captain-General, with the expedition, at the date of the steamer's sailing were remaining at Zam leunga in order to arrange some of the unsettled affairs of Mindanao, after having given a severe lesson to the Tonquib and people of the islands of bantam' and Maim, from which places the last three piratical expeditions which scoured the coast of Samar and Leyte, in September last, originated. His Excellency the Marquis de hi Solona, ful fulling the promise which he had announced to them MI exacting severe retribution from all who should dare to com mit any acts of depredation in our provinces, tatted a dis embarkation on the above-named islands. Their inhabitants either hid themselves in the jungle on the hills, or Heel to the neighbouring islands; but notwithstanding this, their houses, to the number of six or seven hundred, were reduced to ashis, their coolly of grain and fruit trees laid waste and cut down, their cattle and all articles of any utility destroyed, and the few men wit.. were seized treated with the utmost rigour. Their hoots and vessels, both piratical and trading, were sunk or burnt, and forty captives recovered, who were taken on in our vessels to Zamboanga. It appears that notwithstanding the pacific intentions with which his Excellency went to Sults) to arrange with the Sultan and flatus some point+ which would have more finally established their authority, and have given them the power which they need in order to hold their subjects in cheek, the events which had occurred at 'remand and Doeutuan, or exaggerated and distorted accounts or them, induced them not only to refuse to enter into any conferences or negotiations but to dare to assume a belligerent attitude, and even commence at tasking our vessels. this Excellency has viewed such ill tinted and audacious proceedings with the iminniatiou caused by such conduct. We are as yet ignorant of what he may have determined un in cons ,burns, but we doubt nut that, acting with his usual energy and prudence, he will do what will be. in accordance with the honour of Spain and the interests of the government and of the country. Ac cording to a communication which I received yesterday, his Excellency the governor and captain-general of these islands was at Zamboanga on the 11th Jan., after having punished the pirates of the Islands of Santales, Rocoluan, Hamm and Tommil. From six to seven hundred of their houses have been burned, with a large number of sailing craft; twenty-five pirates were killed, and forty captives res cued. The troops have conducted themselves with great order and discipline, and his Excellency is much pleased with the spirit which animates them. The expedition has also been at the bay of Diana and Suloo, at which last platy warlike demonstrations took place without provocation. llis Excellency, much dissatisfied at such a limeys:ding, has returned to Zamboanga, where the expedition at present remains. All which I communicate to the army for its satis faction, and that of the loyal inhabitants of the l'hillippines. 16tIt Jan., IS,l.—The Second General, Blanco—True copy.—Mera." We hear that the province of the Dominicans has voluntarily offered to the government a donation of .1,000 dollars towards the expenses occasioned by the expedition against the pirates. Although the pros perous state of the colony places the goverument in a free and untrammelled po-itiou with regard to the sinews of war, stilt we cannot but applaud the patriotism which dictates this act, and do not doubt that it will had imitators. The above account, which may be looked upon no semi-odicial, must be taken owe yrano salls, but front other sources we have received details of the operations actual and contemplated against Suloo. On arrival of the expedition ut Suloo, a party was sent on shore with a tag of truce which, without much parley. the Sultan advised to return to their vessels us the mob or manses of the people being much infuriates( against the Spaubuds, were demand ing their heads; through the intervention of the • Sultan, the patty succeeded in getting clear of the , shore without personal injury. The squadron was lying within pistol shot of the shore, and there re mained for sante days much to the annoyance of the Suloos, who, after waiting and finding they would neither commence hostilities nor leave the plate, at lust opened tire. from the forts, and one 41 -}asun der struck the steamer Mina de Castilla, and killed ten men. This same shot also passed near where the governor-general was at the time. The squadron weighed 'mondic, and after discharging some shot and grenailes into the town, they left for Zamboango. The government at Manilla is making extensive preparations to equip a considerable reinforcement, which would leave at the Old of January. Seven ships had been taken up as transports, and more were advertised for on account of the government, for the south of Mindanao." THE ABSURDITIES OF A MEMBER OF PARLIANIEN I. The hall was crammed. The first appearance of the gifted orator on the platform was greeted with prolonged cheering, and without a moment's pause or preliminary . prelude he proceeded to grapple with his aggressor in the House of Commons. There be two gangs of foreign janizarica in the parliament of England: tilt liesudindi r gh instritwonti—the Aus trian brigade and the lancer. of Loyola. Moore, of Mayo, on behalf of the Roman camarilla ; and Baillie Cochrane, a Lansknecht of the Kaiser—both just now engaged in re. riling the Queen's government, have made a joint onslaught on Italy's humble advocate; one calls me apostate, the other rebel! I am told I excite the poor Italians to discontent. idol help them! they little need a voice to bring home to their agonised minds and isms% 'nestle the realty of their woes. On the rivers of Etalielon they weep with tears of too spontaneous sorrow. lam called the apostle or, anarchy! My countrymen who know me well for bid me to waste the withering scorn of a patriot priest on the venal calumny. They as well as I look for ward to a depurated religion and a disinfected faith, to a Christianity freed from the foulness of ultramontane feculence, as a necessary concomitant of the land's political and mural regeneration such is the extent of our common apcsdacy, in which we glory. (Cheers.) As to our treason to the house of Ilupsburg, and our want of reverence for ita ambassador iu London, the servile and un-English taunt of Mr. Cochrane shall meet an answer. (Cheers.) Who is this person ? We all know the poor drivelling pantaloon, Viscount Arlineourt, of France—that brainless, toothless, and tottering champion of divine right, who last year, on returning Irma our country, where he had gone to frater nise with all its reinstated tyrannies and tomfooleries, wrote a book called Italie Rouge, wherein he gave vent to the' vituperation of venomous dotage. Arraigned before the tribunals of France Mr a malignant libel on Prince Canino, and found guilty even by the functionaries of a government that had crushed the commonwealth of !tome, he owed the mitigated penalty in which he was mulcted to pity for his grey hairs, and indulgence fire idiotic senility. But the book, " Young Italy," written by this Mr. Coch rane, and a wretched counterpart of the old Frenchman's twaddle, only shows that raw youth can antedate the in evitable work of years, by the sad exhibition of precocious imbecility. (Cheers.) This gentleman belonged to the ceteris of " Young Englanders," a small infantry of con ceited nonage, which the manhood of this country has scouted with deserved derision, and of whose exploalall puerilitiea he is now the solitary embodiment. And what is the charge he bring, forward in the British parliament spinal our proceedings in this hall? Fon,outh, that the vies of the imperial court of Shiinbrunn are nut atoned over or liush«l up in an assembly of its victims, and what is uuly whispered at Vienna is here proclaimed from the house top. Why not quote iu full the whole paragraph of my eighth discourse, of which a garbled frogs latent was ',elected tor unfair and invidious commentary ? Was no other archduchess of Austria besides the immaculate Sophia held up as a model of decorum ? Why overlook in Iffy championship of that irreproachable household the Austrian archduchess, Caroline of Naples, of whom also thu contest made honourable mention as having " revived" in ' that classic haunt of imperial profligacy " the cruelties as! well as the Capri:an saturnalia of Nero ," perpetrated the murders "of Cirillu arid Caracciolo," and dragged into un holy complicity with her disgusting decals the brightest name in England's muster-roll of naval heroism. (Cheers.) Has he hogotten another archduchess of Austria, wedded to the greatest conqueror and ruler of the modem world, who did nut wait for the weeds of widowhood to contract an inglorious alliance, forgetting in the dal liance of an ignoble paramour the distant &ni sei' of a desolate rock under the equator ? (Cheers ) I make him a present of the Arehducheas Antoinette of ' France: not a syllable of blame shall fall from my lips on her whom sacred misfortune has absolved, and calamity almost canonised but I tell him her sister, the Archduchess Louisa Amelia of Parma, has left in Italy a remembrance of public frailty and scandal which no similar atonement has conic to obliterate in the memory of mankind. Let him then seek sympathy fur his Archduchess Sophia else where than in the Commons of England, and when I pub licly designate her as enacting in modern history the part of Etrurian Matilda, in propping up the tottering papacy, and crushing the liberties of Europe as a set off' for ill-dissem bled personal misconduct, let him hear in this hall the echo of a thousand tongues, and estimate atits pro per worth the "respect of those who surround her.' Who are they ? Does he mean Prince Schwartunharg, the notorious seducer of another man's wife, who has left • unpaid to this slay the damages awarded by an Engliah jury • to the injured husband? " The respect of throe who our round her !" llas the honourable gialthanan ever heard of certain letters intercepted, after the Milanese revolution,' from the sun. of Archduke Ranieri, Viceroy of Lombardy ? There he might learn the respect of those who ought to know her. 'there lie would understand the drift of two yenta' intrigue to bring about the alnlieation of a dotard and the subatitution of un idiot emperor, lath being her tools, for the furtherance of a policy originating in her alone. Has the gentleman ever heard of the wholesale murders iu . .--of peasants paid capitation money for the heads of refractory nobles throughout that unhappy land, delivered up to the mercies of Arch duchess Sophia? Has the name of Zecla reached him ? or dues he mean to class the butcher llaynau among those who surround her with the bulwark of their respectful de ference ? Doubtless Catherine of Russia, the Messalina of the north, was an object of similar respect to her court circle, but the Ituaaian amliaesador would find it difficult to euforce here in London her claim to British veneration. Christina of Swcalen, after the murder of her paramour, Monaldeschi, in the saloons of Fontainebleau, was nut only respected by those around her, but got a sepulchre in the Vati can basilica, and a statue erected by an admiring Pope to this illustrious convert, whose adoption of catholicity preceded that act of assassination. But why talk of female honour in connexion with papal testimony? Am Ito be arraigned by court sycophants and volunteer flunkeyism for telling a no torious truth, when a notorious lie goes unrebukeol, and the noble women of Rome are proclaimed prostitutes by the felon Ferretti "in the facto of Europe with dastardly coward ice and unblushing effrontery." Is the gallantry' of Coch rane insensible to all but archichical defamation? Hams womanhood no claim on his championship when only , digni fied by love of country and active benevolence ? And meat the lady of his chivaln . assume the attractive beau ideal of Hecate or Moog:era, the scourge of humanity (Donna de Sodarmsso), when lie oaks his Dulcinea del Tubuzu in the house of Hapsburg ? (Cheers.) The speaker next adverted to Mr. Cochrane's un warrantable assertion in the Commons, that one of the Roman triumvirs, Martini, hid himself in Consul Freeborit's wine cellar at the entry of the French. He was not Mr. Martini's spokesman—that gentle man was fully competent to defend his own honour against such scurrilous assailants, if not damned beneath the notice of his lofty and unimpeachable character ; but he would tell Mr. Cochrane that the French had met on the ramparts of home valour equal if not superior to their own, and if he (Ga vazzi), who had not shrunk front their encounter in honourable warfare, had after their entry into Rome felt himself on unequal terms with the foe, it was because the soldiers of France were set to do the vile work of papal bbirrt and police agents, in which capacity he declined their further acquaintance ship. (Cheers.) lie proceeded to animadvert on Mr. Coehrune's book, of which he repro duced several malignant and offensive passages. This member of a British parliament thus propounds his views of the policy becoming a mitred sovereign: He perceived that it was absolutely necessary to play with the movement. The leaders of the mob dad not understand his character; they mistook the mere coquette for the lady of easy . virtue r (page 04). This is pretty decent, but all is in perfect keeping. Again:—" The Pope had been unfortunately advised 'to concede a slight degree of liberty to the press" (18). To find an Englishman using such phrusco lagy must be highly acceptable to the Archduchess Sophia, but the fattier questioned whether this coun try was vet ripe for the introduction of an Austrian censorship, either for the press or the free utterance of opinion in public assemblies, which Mr. C;xliraue would put down by the interference of the Austrian embassy. Such an attempt would be quite natural on the part of ayoung England," but old England thought otherwise, thank heaven, and any emissary : of Austria who would seek to enforce here any terrors prevalent at Vienna would do well to avoid the brewery of Barclay. (Cheers.) The * closing statement of a subsequent paragraph will no doubt interest the archduchess. Mr. Coch rane says: Under Gregory it is unfortunately too true that the greater part of the sums which should have been devoted to charity were bestowed on favourites, or the expenses and salaries were sometimes allowed to swallow up the whole profits of the foundation. Several hospitals may be men• tioncd where the rual-admiuistratiou and peculation were almost inedible—au in one where no less than ninety er sons were emloyed to attend un fifty-six ; and in anot her, devoted to women, containing a long list of names, among them some of very illustrious houses, whose ladies received assiatauce under the expressive name of orris-oh - mei. The expressive name of pericolunti means simply that among the nobility any widow or old maid who fancied her virtue in peril from the absence of suit able revenues could claim front a committee of clerical bachelors any sum which her eloquence or other persuasive charms might enforce as a proper done-ear for remaining chaste. The Father here described in detail the plunder and peculation carried on in the administration of hospitals. especially the great Santo Spirit., at Rome, the revenues of which, 700,090 dollars, were scandalously distributed among grasping of and cardinal-. In his native town of Bologna, fifty years had now elapsed since the last audit of hospital accounts, and the malversation carried on in virtue of a Tridentine decree, or canon law, investing bishops with the sole LABUAN, Accounts from this place t(Taie middle of January represent the health generally of the residents as • good. Sir James Brooke recently paid a visit, after an absence of lit months, having left the colony at the end of February, 19.10, and did not return until the end of Decembir. The suspension of Mr. Napier having terminated in his dismissal, the reins of go vernment remain in the hands of Mr. Scott, the eulonial surveyor, who, with Mr. Lord, the secretary, constitute the executive of Labuan. The coaling operations are progressing favourably ; more than OW tons were ready for shipment, and a large vessel had been taken up at Singapore to convey the coals for the use of the steamers. Whilst at Lalman • two trips were made by Sir James Brooke to Druid. for the purpose of remonstrating with the Sultan on disallowing Chinese and others to quit the mainland for the island of Labium The old Sultan was in a !dangerous state and not expected to live, and his minister, the Pangeeran Moorman', was supposed to be on his death-bed. 'fhere had been considerable slaughters amongst the tribes in the interior, tribe Iwarring upon tribe, but their feuds had in a great i measure subsided when the steamer left Druni.

This is pretty cool, but perhaps there is compensa tion found in the flourishing state of the religious feelins• among a people who are thus eivicallybni tallied to become spiritually blest. Not a bit of it ! for at page 97 he says: The misfortune of the Roman government, alike spiritual and temporal, is its ridiculous attention to forms and dogmas. ! I Thus, strange to cry, in the very heart of the church—in the centre round which all Chri!dianity lives—there is, per- ! limps, less religion than in any other part of Italy. The speaker here took occasion to describe the various processions and similar pagan performances which modern Rome has borrowed from the ritual of idolatry—the blessing of cattle at the porch of St. Antony, and other similar displays, the primary object of which was of course clerical rapacity (ia boteems). lie next adverted to the delight of the Roman Camarillo on the news of Lord John Russell's resignation reaching them, and their discovery of a "judgment" in the providential occurrence. Re- vetting next to the pastoral lately issued by the Westminster cardinal, he sifted with vigorous and merciless scrutiny the phraseology and tenor of that document ; pointed out the grovelling . views of the writer, and his incapability of appreciating the ex alted scope and tendency of this great effort of human progress and European brotherhood, ending by the suggestion that the rivalry of competition might have tinged the views of the red-robed exhi bitor of Vatican curiosities, and fears for his show box in Southwark stimulated his jeremiads on the approaching festival of human industry.

DUTY ON PAPER.-DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. On Saturday, a numerous deputation of Irish mem b:ra of parliament and paper manufacturers waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence, Downing-street, in reference to the excise duties at present levied on liver. Amongst the gentlemen present were John Reynolds, M.P., Wm. Keogh, M.P., \ amount Bernard, M.l'., Win. Fagan, M.P., Sir Lucius O'Brien, M.P., Captain 'Sunbury, M.P., Robert Keating, M.P., E. B.

Wright, E. P. Barnes. Dr. Grey, 3:Beaumont, H. Ingram, John Kaye, Gee. Haggett, ltobt. Heron. Mr. REYNOLDS, M.P. (addressing the Chancellor of the Exchequer), said he had been honoured by the deputa tion with a request that he would present them to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the present oce;lsion. The deputation was not composed exclusively of member+ of parliament—though there were sonic twenty Irish members and one Scotch member present—it also included several manufacturers of paper connected with both England and Ireland. Ile thought some explanation was due to the right hon. gentleman for troubling him a second time on the same subject within a brief period. The explanation was this—that since the last interview circumstances had arisen that might involve the necessity of altering the financial arrangements; and they consequently believed that an opportunity was afforded to press upon the government the necessity of embodying some relief to the paper manufac turers in any financial arrangement that should be made. Mr. JORDAN (a paper manufacturer) observed that the manufacturers were of opinion that the removal of the duty would develop the labour of the country, and consequently dim' hto a considerable extent the poser's rate. The manufacturers claimed the abolition of the duty on very strong grounds, namely, that many years ago a committee of the House of Commons recommended the abolition of the duty on paper and glass ; and if they might judge from the vast increase in the trade of glass consequent on the aboli time of the duty, they might I'airl' anticipate a like increase in the paper manufacture, by which many additional hands would find labour, the bookbinder, the printer, and the papier mid' manufacturer. They also claimed re lief from the unpleasant and vexatious trammels op posed to the progress of their trade on the ground that it was the only trade employing a large number of the population which was at present subject to these vexatious restrictions. 'there were many other points which he might adduce; but he would not further trespass on the valuable time of the right hon. gentlem an. Mr. COUR:IP:NAY (another paper manufacturer) said that, with the exception of flax, the manufacture of paper was the only trade that hail held its ground in Ireland, as cottons and woollens were completely superseded. The flax movement was intimately connected with the manufac ture of paper. The excise duties prevented many obstacles to the manufacture of paper being carried forward, a modi fication of which duties would not be attended with any beneficial effect, because the more they were modified the more open was the, manufacturer to the effect% of smuggling. Mr. E. B. ROCHE, M.l'., was at present engaged in the culture of flax on his property in the county of Cork, and could say that the roots of flax could be worked up into very good paper. If such manufacture were encouraged, tow, which now was worth only it a ton, would lie worth 301. a ton for paper manufacture. In the south of Ireland they were getting extensively into the culture of flax ; and anything calculated to that would he most im portant. Ile had seen three or four paper mills in his di, trict, which at one period gave great employment, broken down in consequence of the ruinous competltion to which they were exposed by being open to smugglers at the mine time that the excise laws pressed upon them. Ile believed there never was a time when it was more incumbent on government to encourage any trade that would employ the waste water power of the country. After a kw words from Mr. Cam FAWN, Mr. G Km; as,M.P., Mr. CUWAN, M.P„ and Lord UELINAUI , , M.l'., to the sante effect, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said I hare listened to everything, but you know 1 can say nothing in reply. However, 1 feel thankful for your assurance that you arc now about to suspend the duty uu Wood. (Laughter.)—The deputation then withdrew. ground of newts-discovered evidence. The jury., after having several times communicated to the learned Judge Moore that they could not agree in a verdict, were discharged by his lordship without finding any verdict. FINE ARTS. kXIIIIIITION OF TH C I . OC STS. IETY OF BRITISII AR The SulTolk-street Exhibition, which opens today to the public, is of average merit. Tile general impression left on the mind by the aggregate amount of talent to be found in its list of fi!aworks of art is on the whole not unfavourable; but this is rather attributable to the redeeming qualities of a few strikingly original productions by the members themselves than from any inmusliate support front without. That the advantages held out by this exhibition to casual exhibitors are not sufficient, is clearly evident, not merely from the nature and amount of the works placed in secondary positions, but from the too evident anxiety of every member to complete his round dozen of pieturts annually. No other apology can be offered for the fifteen smudgy adumbrations of Mr. Zeitter, who for a series of years has, perhaps, :unconsciously blackened this character of Hungarians adding the insult of rags and tatters to their too real injuries. Neither can any other rssible motive be urged in favour of Mr. Woolmera ten kit-eats, in which all notion of pure brat seems to be dissolved in an atmosphere of sulphur and brimstone. Boddington, Clint, and Shaver, ate equally if not as painfully prolific ; but somehow the glimpses of truth which pervade the delineations at' our loosest landscapists will ever redeem their mannerisms. In the figure department, Messrs. Hailstone and Ikr ring are also amenable ter the accusation of rendering their gnat and real talents subservient to mere dexterity of handling and texture • and whilst one is led to wonder at the marvellous texture; of the execution, one humid,' at the same time its in furthering a style of art in which thought and imagination are seldom Weyer brought into play. The above-mentioneal names arc those chiefly conspi cuous in positions as well as number 4, but a hest of others exhibit a perfavt limbo of imitative art. It is quite curious to watch how boldly one gentle man, Mr. T. Earl, in his 'Rabbit War ren," has songed on Lainlseer, not only in tho method of delineating hair, but in hard-formed tones of back-ground. Another. gentleman, Mr. J. Tennant, in (l " A Hirer Scene," with eltual abnegation, attempts the mimicry of Stanfield s finished per tbrmances; the sky, water, distances, and gravelly foregrouuds, are note-worthy and pleasant fay-similes of the Stamfieldian art. The enumeration of all those works, uustamped by any but second-hand originality. would become as tedious as it is in vidious. Whilst one artist tries, with the greatest possible coolness, to adapt the attitudes and colouring of Frost's nymphs, another takes Cooper and his cattle-pieces for models ; and last, though not least, an intrepid host of enthu siastic landscape painters show themselyts4 blind votaries of 'nailer, whilst they evince perfect Mem pacity to play with his dangerous tools. MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The opening of the Italian Opera is " new year's day," in fashionable chronology. Then begins tho London " season ;" the brief period into which, in the great world, the gaiety, dissipation, and amuse ment of the whole year are crowded, mid during which the metropolis resounds with music and blazes with splendour. The whirl and excitement among the brilliant crowds who hasten to London for tho season, and the equal haste with which tiny aban don it when the season is over, leaving its most fashionable quarters deserted and silent, present a contrast not exhibited by any other capital in the world. Probably this angina inirahilii, the Exhibi tion year, will show this contrast more strongly than it has ever yet been seen. We never before saw Ifer Majesty's Theatre pre sent so brilliant an aspect on the first night of a season as it did on Saturday evening. It looked like a Saturday in June rather than in March. Every box was full, and iiii prtii:ipal tiers displayed t bright array of beauty and fashion. Every stall was occupied, and the pit and gallery were crowded to the doors.

On Thursday two or three hundred seamen of Del fast, belonging chiefly to the vessels engaged in the coasting trade, paraded the city in treble file, headed by a musical band and some of the men hearing flags on which were inscribed mottoes suggestive of their wants.

Hannah Dalton, wife of a salesman in Covent-garden market, was charged with attempting to commit self-de struction at the east fountain in Trafalgar-square. On Saturday night the prisoner was ohserved by a con stable to enter the square without any bonnet or shawl. lie watched her, and saw her throw herself over the parapet of the east basin. He drew her out by her dreg. Mr. Jardine inquired if any person could have been drowned in the basin. The eonstablo replied in the affirmative, as there were three feet of water in the basin. The prisoner said her husband behaved most unkindly towards her. She had been rendered al three times through his bad conduct. Mr. Jardine said he must have some security that she would not repeat the offence., and for that purpose he would remand her to prison for a week. However, if she could obtain bail he was willinz to accept it. Bail having been procured, she wa. liberated. In every successive stame her powersilevelthssl them selves more and more; the applause waxed warmer and warmer; and her final scene closed:llldd demon strations of general enthusiasm. Duprez is not one of those who curry an audience by storm. She is very young--not yet IR, we undenrand—and her physical powers !UM e evi dently not yet reached their full maturity. She is of middle height, with a slender and somewhat girlish figure, but she is exceedingly hantLsome and full of grace in all her movements. She has lino features, and her jet-black eyes are of uncommon brilliancy and power. The beauty of her luxuriant tresses adds to the charm of her appearance. Her voice, we are convinced. has not vet attained its full strength and volume. Its tone is thin; in this re spect resembling Persiutti's, hut softer and sweeter. It is, indeed, entirely free from the shrillness which is often found in voices of this kind. It is a pure soprano, and has been so well formed by a skilful method that, throughout its extensive scale, it has the equality of u tine violin. But it is in tho lower tones that its charm chiefly lies ; they are ex quisitely sweet and mellow. Then: can be no doubt, in short, that Wile. Duprez's voice requires nothing more than a little time and moderate exercise (for now that she is bow& upon the stage there is somo danger of its being too severely taxed) to become an organ not surpassed by that of any sinwrofour day. As an actress, Mdlle. Duper has great gifts; but they, probably. require, even more than her vocal powers, to be developed by :nore maturity of age.

RANDY, Fes. 21. The mail of the 24th December, 1850, reached Ceylon on the 24th of January; the appointments of Sir J. E. Tenuent to St. Helena, and Mr. Wode house to Honduras, and the rise in the price of coffee, being the most interesting items of intelli gence fur this colony. The promotion of Mr. Wode house gave great satisfaction—a good, honourable man, who was much respected here. His loss may • he felt before long. Sir James, every one says, hits got too easily oft; and although his present appoint ment is less by 1,0001. a year than his last, yet it is too good for such a man. Sir George Auderson and Mr. M'Carthy continue in Kandy—both very popu-1 lar. His excellency Lela a levee last week, very I well attended. On the Ist inst. he assembled the native head-men together round him. The crop of coffee is even less than I guessed it at; probably there will nut be 270,000 cwt., instead of ' 300000 as 1 predicted, and against 337,000 cwt. last year, and this notwithstanding much new land coming into bearing this year; but it is of very tine quality. The paddy fields arc looking very well, and promise an abundant harvest. Some French gentlemen have during the past month arrived here. They are settlers, and imend to enter into the culti vation of coffee immediately. May success attend them. You have of course heard by Straits papers of the destruction by fire. of Rangoon—vast extent of property destroyed, and great loss of life.
