In other respects the opera was performed as before. Mr. Oyes company is now receiving strung reinforcements, of which in sooth it his stood much in need. To-morrow Colones., a baritone of high oontinental reputation, is to appear at Germoot, in the Trariata ; on Thursday Adelina Patti ap pears in the Sonsanibuia ; and on Saturday, Mario, as Count Almaviva, in the Barbidre di Sivigna. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Verdi's opera, On BaUo in Masehera, was an unwed or Saturday night. with Dells Sedie and Thiene in the principal characters, bat the piece wu changed to Landis Berm* in consequence, we believe, of Dells Sedie's arrival having been unexpectedly delayed. To morrow tddlle.

On Saturday evening a deputation of trades unionists attended at the residence of Mr. Adams, the American minister, in Portland•ptsce, for the purpose or placing in the hands of his excellency an address to Pm sident Lincoln, adopted at the late Trades Union Eman cipation meeting at St. James's-hall, over which Mr. John Bright, M.P., presided. The deputation was accompanied by Mr. Bright, M.P., and E. S. Beesley, Esq., professor of political economy at University College. . _ . . . . Yr. ADAMS, in reply, said—l accept the duty you impose upon me with great pleasure, the more so as you have take. advantage of the manioc to speak on the question of war. (Cheers.) I agree generally with your views on the subject. But with two union of the earns race, of the same high spirit, both feeling a natural pride in their superiority on the ocean, I think it almost imposible, under existing cir cumstances, to prevent some things springing up that might onasios a collision. I therefore concur with you, gentler men, as to the necessity for great forbearance being exhi bited by both countries and governments in criticising the motions of each other. I trust that in spite of all that Ina occurred there is in the government of each country • suffi cient sere of responsibility to iodoos them to maintain friendly relations with each other. There must naturally be a feeling of pride—of fear Int one nation should appear to refrain from properly resenting what it might deem to be zau offetioe from the other ; and in this feeling lies the great danger. I feel confident, however ' that if the two peoples sod the two governments would speak toge ther is the same frank and unreserved noes as you have spoken to me this evening, all fear of any collision would be at an end. (Cbeers.) I can assure you that, notwithstand log the speeches of some of my eountrymen—ootwithataod lag the writings in some of the American journals, there is no adios seder the sus for which Americana entertain a greater reprd than England ; sod if the real notirnenta of ! the people of each country can be clearly established to each other, I shall have so fear of their coming into colli sion. (Hear.) I believe, gentlemen, you have taken the right course to produce this deniable understanding, and I undertake with pleasure the duty of tranamittiog your address to YrtideatLimeois. (Cheers.) The deputetioe haring thanked Mr. Adam, for hie connoting reception, and Mr. Bright for his kindness in attending, then retired. Mona.

In to-day's Bitting of the Diet a debate took place on the motion in favour of Poland. Count Manderstrorn, Minister for Foreign A ffairs, stated that the cabinet had despatched notes on the 2nd and ith of April to St. Petersburg, in reference to Poland. The nobility and clergy voted the order of the day expressing strong sympathies for Poland, and confidence that the government would do all in its power for Poland. With regard, however, to the maintenance of peace, unless the public interest should require war. . . . The members representing the citizens rejected the reservation in favour of peace, and only ex pressed their sympathies for Poland, and their con fidence that the government would be inspired by the feeling which they knew to exist in the country. The representatives of the peasants also adopted a simple vote of confidence in the government. THE POLISH QUESTION. ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 3. The Journal de St. Peterabourg of to-day pub lishes the despatches addressed by England, France, and Austria to the cabinet of St. Petersburg on the Polish question, and the several replies given to the same by Prince Gortschakoff. VIENNA. MAY & Prince Gortschakoff, in his reply to the Austrian note on the Polish question, says : "Count Rechberg was light, as events have shown, in anticipating that the Emperor Alexander would be disposed to show clemency to the Poles on the dispersion of the insurrectionary bands. Count Rechberg will, however, perceive that a return to order does not depend upon interior measures alone. "The intrigues of the foreign revolutionary party are the main source of the agitation, and the influence of the great Powers would therefore be beet exercised if directed against those intrigues. Prince Gortechakoff doubts not that Austria will neglect nothing in order to put a stop to the machi. nations of the revolutionary party." ITALY. FLORENCE, MAT 3. The ceremony of the unveiling of the facade of Santa Crooe took place to-day. Prince Carignano, Signiir Peruzzi, and many senators and deputies, were present.

The reported occupation of Gordonsville by the Federal's was untrue. The Southern journals assert that General Stone man's Federal cavalry had made a demonstration to _ . . cross the Rappahannock 25 miles above Fredericks burg, but failed to accomplish their purpose. General Foster has reached Newbern from Wash ington. He ran past the Confederate batteries in • small steamer, the pilot of which was killed. General Foster's fumes still remain in Washing ton, surrounded by the Confederates. The Federal gunboats on the Nasemond River, Eastern Virginia, have been shelling the Con federates, who are attempting to plant batteries at different points on the river, and a Federal force co operating with the gunboats has stormed and cap tured a Confederate battery of sir guns, sad taken 200 prisoners.

Governor Johnson is authorised to raise 25,000 Federal troops for special service in lYost Tennessee. The latest reports assert that Admiral Dnpont's Monitor fleet still remains off Charleston Bar. General Foster's troops, who had reinforced General Hunter at Port Royal, are returning to North Carolina. Accounts are still conflicting as to whether the attack on Charleston will be renewed or entirely abandoned. Several union meetings have been broken up in Indiana by parties of Knights of the Golden Circle. During the riots which ensued several persons were wounded, and one killed. The general commanding the Indiana depart ment declared the Knights of the Golden Circle to be public enemies, and stated they should be dealt with as such, cautioning the people also against wearing copperhead badges. The New York journals publish Washington despatches asserting that the case of the Peterhoff will be left to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, without interference from the government. The trial commences to-day. _ . Earl Russell's letter of April 3, concerning the right of the British vessels to trade with Mata moros, was well received, and created a favourable impression here. The British gunboat Cygnet was fired at on the 4th inst. in the Bahama Channel by the Federal steamer Connecticut, who mistook the Cygnet for the Alabama. The captain of the Cygnet went on board the Connecticut, and the affair was amicably settled. The Confederate steamer Barrose, from St. Mary's for Nassau, with ootton, was abandoned ►t sea, and a portion of her crew, who were picked up, have arrived in New York. The Madmen Flora ..d Pell arrived at Wilming ton on the 16th from Naiseau. A new war frigate for the King of Italy has been safely launched at New York. The City of Baltimore, Kangaroo, and Jura have arrived out. NEW YORK, APRIL 22, MORNING. Admiral Porter, with five Federal gunboat.; and three transporte, with a portion of General Grant's forces on board, ran the Vicksburg batteries from above during the night of the 16th inst. All passed safely except one transport, which was burned. Admiral Porter reached Warrenton, which place he bombarded. The Federal commandant at Memphis has tele graphed that he had information from Southern sources that Vicksburg was being evacuated. General Banks has commenced operations in the Bayou Moho country. One portion of his force has crossed Berwick's Bay and advanced towards Patersonville. Another portion has embarked at Braahear City, and will proceed into the Grand Lake. The New York Herald has a special despatch stating that the Confederates have evacuated their works near Brashear City, and would probably be captured, as they were surrounded by General Banks's force. The Feder,.ls had recaptured the steamer Queen of the West on the Grand Lake, with all her crew. It is supposed that Admiral Porter's fleet will operate on the Red River, and that General Banks and Admiral Porter's combined movements will cut off from Vicksburg and Port Hudson the sup plies which the Confederates obtain from Western Louisiana and Texas. The Confederates still threaten the Federal lines at Baton Rouge. _ . _ The Confeder►tes have retreated from before Washington, North Carolina, and abandoned their batteries below, on Tar River. A steamer has left Newborn for Washington and is reported to have passed up without molests; tion. The Navy Department has received a despatch stating that the Confederates were retreating from Nasemond River, sad that the Fedorala were endea vouring to cut off a Confederate brigade. The capture of a Confederate battery on Nase moud River is officially confirmed. The Confederates still hold Williamsburg. Severe fighting has taken place in the neighbour hood of Corinth. The Confoderates were driven• from Bear Creek to Crane Creek. The ease of the Peterhoff came before the Prize Court yesterday. The district attorney, on the part of the government, proposed to hand over the mails unopened to the British Consul, but the captors opposed the motion, and the court post poned the case to consider their decision on this point. President Lincoln has proclaimed that Western Virginia will become a State of the Union in GO days from the present date. A loyal league meeting has been held in Madison square, New York. Several thousand persons were present, and the usual war speeches were made. The Africa takes out 83 passengers and 34,212 dole. in specie. AMERICAN SLAVERY AND THE FRENCH PROTESTANTS. The French Protestant clergy to the number of 7150 recently addressed a letter to their English brethren on the subject of the leer in America. They urged that the menses of the cause represented by the Confederate States " would put balk the megrims of Christian civilisation and of humanity a whole ceotary ;" and called upon the ministers and piston of all denominations in England to take the lead 111 calling forth "a peat sod peaceful mani festation of sympathy for the coloured race so long oppressed and despised by Ch ri stian nations." The following reply was adopted by • conference of ministers held in Loudon, and presided over by the Hon. sad Rey. Baptist W.

It is bouour able to France. and to French peotestantism, that you so heartily wish the destruction of the slave system, which makes 4,000,000 of Degrees wretched ; which debases their masters ; which has been a vast calamity to a great protestant nation, and which dishonours Christ, by whom professed servant, it is upheld. Like yourselves, we feel a deep comparison for the slaves, who are a part of the human family ; we wish by all means in our power to discourage those who are seeking to found an empire on their degradation ; and we wish success to all just and humane measures for their deliverance. With these sentiments we beg to assure you that, following where you have so nobly taken the lead, we shall do what we can to accomplish those benevolent objects to which you invite our attention. Accept our fraternal wishes that you may enjoy the favour and blessing of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord."

(Loud cheers.) Adverting to my marriage, I beg you to believe how grateful 1 feel for, awl I may be permitted to add bow aoesrely 1 appreciate, the sentiment, you have expressed with Wayne, to the Peacoat. (Loud cheers.) I know that I am only speaking her mind ia joising her thanks to mine on this occasioo. (Loud cheers) We neither of um can ever forget the manner in which our colon has been celebrated throughout the nation—(cheers)—and I should be more than ungrateful if I did not retain the most lasting as well as most pleasing recollection of the kind expressions and reception which ray attendance at your anniversary meeting has evoked this evening. (Loud and contioned cheering.) The PRESIDIUM then gave "The health of his Royal Highness the Prime Louis of Hesse." (Cheers.) Ha Royal Highness Prince Lome of Hausa .aid,—Mr. President, your Royal Highnesses, my lords and gentlemen —I have been much flattered by your kind invitation, which has enabled me to spend this evening in so distinguished an asiambily.

It is not, however, for the banquet alone which you have prepared fur us that oar cordial ac knowledgments are due ; but also for that brilliant feast foe the eye, that fine refreshment for the taste, which you have furnished in such ample and happy profusion. (Cheers.) This aimed gathering is oo many accounts memorable but in this respect most worthy of note, as being an act of homage paid to genius by the caret distinguished throughout the land in the different walks of life; as their willing tribute of gratitude to art for all the pure pleasures of which it is to them the same. (Cheers.) Each of on will regard that exquisite art which adorns these walls from his own point of view. For my own part I cannot forget that in the early days of its revival it was the constant handmaid of re ligion, and that those great masterpieces which seem to have been the offspring of piety, were powerful aids to reve rence and devotion. (Cheers.) Altered circumstances did, indeed, in later days, somewhat change the direction in which the current of genius used to flow. But still art has, and ever will have, a high and noble mission to fulfiL That man, I think, is little to be envied who can pass through these roams and go forth without being, io 00190 80080. • better and • happier man ; if, at least, it he no, as I do believe it to be, that we feel ourselves the better and the happier when our hearts are enlarged as we sympathise with the joys and the sorrows of our fellow men, faithfully delineated on the carver—(cheers)—when our spirit' are refreshed by the touching representations of the play fulness, the innocence, the purity, and may I not add (pointing to Millais'. picture of "My first Sermon") the piety of ebildhood—(cheers)—when generous emotions are kindled by the spectacle of some great sad noble sacrifice made at the call of duty anal of couscieuce ; or as we trace the lineaments of the great and the good (pointing to the portrait of Sir G. Cornwall Lewis) who have departed from this earthly scene—(cheers)—and their rime knoweth them no more—lineanieuts in which we recognise the sagacious intellect, the profound thought, the trans parent probity there recorded, for the instruction and admiration of those who shall come atter. (Loud cheers.) These are a few of the obligations we owe to art, and in the full view of them, I am sore you will all with nee heart and mind join me in the toast lam about to propose—" Prosperity to the Royal Academy." (Loud cheers.) May this institution never fall below the high level we see it has attained ; may it rather soar above and beyond it ; and under its fostering influence may art ever employ itself in elevating the moral tone of the conotry, while it refines its taste, in purifying the character from base and sordid feelings, and prompting it to all that Is good and generous and noble.

It is natural that any man who in engaged in labile life should feel thogreatest interestio the promotion , of the fine arts. In fact, without at great cultivation of art no nation has ever arrived at soy point of easinence. We have seen great waxlike exploits pedalled by manor in • date, I woe:nifty of comparative barbarism, bat wanting comparative civilisation; we have new mations amass ing great wealth, but yet not deeding • thereby high in the estimation of the reel of the world ; bat when great warlike achievements, great national prosperity, and high cultivation of the arts are all combined together, the nation in which thole conditions are found may pride itself on holding that eminent position asses the nations of the world which I am proud to say below to this country. (Loud cheers.) It is gratifying to have the howler of being invited to these periodical meetings, where we find amembled within these rooms a grater amount of cultivatios of mind, of natural Mill', of everything; which constitutes the development of human intellect than perhaps ever is merubled within the woo space elsewhere. (Cheers.) And we have, betides, the gratification of seeing that in addition to those living examples of national genius, the walls are eovend with that that national pains is capable of Om awl astir* asell airidepteent. (Cheers.) Upon the primal occasion, Mr. President, every visitor must have N.. with the greatest delight that by the aide of the wake of those whose aamee are familiar to all, there rife works of peat ability brought hither by men who are atilt rising to fame ; end therefore we have the satisfaction of fooling that this country will never be wanting in men dlatinguisleed in the pranks of the fins sits. (Cheers.) One peat wit of this eahlkeitiou is, that whatever may be the tune of • man's mind, whatever lie position in life, he may at least during the peeled he is within these walls teddy" the most pleasing illusions applicable to the wants hit soled at that time may feel. A man who comes here shivering in sea of those days which meek the severity of an English summer--(a laegid—may imagine that be is basking in an African sun, and be may feel imagi nary warmth from the representation of • tropical climate. (Laughter.) If, ou the Mbar heal, he is , suffering under those exceptional minder Wei Cas of the few hot days of an English imam is apt to - create, he may immense himself lobelia& the fresh keens of the made ; be may suppose himself reclining tinder the cooling shade of the asset luxuriant foliage ; he meg fee • time, in fancy, feel all the delights which the streets and pavements of London deny in reality—(cheers and laughter) —and if he happens to be a young man, upon what is con ventionally said to be his preferment, that es to say, look ing out for • partner for his life—(a laugb)—he may here study all kinds and descriptions of female beauty (brighter and cheese) —he may satisfy his miad whether light hair or dark—(laughter)—blue eyes or black— (continued laughter)—the tender or the serious, the py or the sentimental, are most likely to contribute to the happiness of his future life.

(Loud cheers sad laughter.) Then, those of a more mead turn of mind, who direct their thoughts to state offal's, and who with to know what that august smoothly, the House of Commons, is composed of, may here (pointing to Phillips's picture behind the chair,) without the trouble of taking an order for the gallery—(a laugh)—wifhont waiting in Westminster. . hail till asset be vacant, without pasting hours in a hot gallery, Radioing perhaps to dull discourse in as unentresting debate—they may hem see what kied i rt of thing the House of Commons is, and go back edified by the sight, without being bored by dull speeches. (Cheers and laughter). Now don't, gentlemen, imagine" that I am romancing when lattribute this virtue to coulee demonstration —don't imagine that that which enters rhea s eye does not sometimes penetrate to the mind and to the feelings. I will give you an instance to the contrary. I'd* within these walls seeing two gentlemen, wits- 1' from their remarks were very good judges of heresy o king with the test admiration upon the well- ' keowe picture of Lasdeses, the Florseshomeg at the Iffackmith's," and after they had looked at it for some— . , time one wee approaching seam. when the other is an agony of esthmiatm said, " For Heaven's mks, (tool go too near, be will kick you." (Loud One and laughter.) Well, gentlemen, I said that a public mac must ta k e great interest in art ; but I feel that the pressed government has en apology to make to one department ' of art, and that is to the sculptors ; for there is an old maxim denoting one of the high functions of art, which is Ars ear afore arrow. Now, there was a cellar —(much laughter)—in which the art of the most distinguished sculp tors was concealed to the utmost extent of the application of that saying. (A laugh.) We have brought them compa ratively into light—(cheers)—and if the sculptors will ex cuse us for baring departed from that sage and ancient maxim, I am sure the public will thank us for having given them an opportunity of seeing those beautiful works of men of whom it may be said— '• " - vivos ducunt de roarmore ennui." (Cheers.) I trust, therefore, the sculptors will exams ns for having done, not, perhaps, the best they might have wished, but, at least, for having relieved them a little from the darkness of that Cymmerian cellar in which their works were hid. (Cheers.) I beg again to thank you, gen. tlerneo, for the honour you have dune me in drinking my health. (Load cheers.) The next toast was, "The Interests of Literature," in mummies with which the president, after complimentary remarks, proposed the health of ]lr. Thackeray, which was duly acknowledged by that gentletpan. The PRIBLIIISIT next pee "The Royal Society, and the Health of its excellent President, General Sabine," which having been duly honoured, Sir R. lionnasos returned thanks.

Bush, Esq. (Demurer of the British Society), and Viscount l'owerscourt. The report alluded to the lose which the society had sustained by the death of the Marquis of Breadalhane, its honoured president, at the same time stating that his grace the Duke of Newcastle bad abnegated to accept the vacant post. A great Twisty of matters were then alluded to—such as the breeding of the Chinese sheep I (both pure messed hybrids), experiment, in cross iag the eland and the ordinary cow,the rearing of Honduras turkeys,hybrid breeds of ducks, prairie grouse, gnats, dusky ducks, dm., theiotroductioo of the Lucia' errs, sod the artificial breeding of salmon.
