Tat member for the important shipping borough of Sunderland is no vain political enthusiast or malcontent, scorning an Emrssos to-day and hanging on that EMPEROR'S lips to morrow. Mr. LINDSAY represents in Parliament great interests, and it is very convenient when your country's interests are your own. Now it appears that for years past Mr. LINDSAY has been in the habit of " labouring in Paris" on important questions affecting the maritime relations of France and England, and has received no acknowledgment for his services from Government on this side of the water beyond a bare compliment to his eager useful ness, and a latter of introduction to the British Am bassador in Paris. He has been repeatedly engaged in conversation with the Emperor of the FRENCH, of so intimate and confidential a character that he begs her MaJarsrv's Government and the House of Commons not to press him to say more upon that subject. After helping his Imperial MAJESTY to reconstruct the maritime code of France, it was na• tural enough that so disinterested an adviser should have the entree at all times and seasons at the Tuileries, at Compiegne, and at Fontainebleau, not to speak of Vichy and Biarritz. How was an irregular ambition of this sort, astride upon two countries, to be restricted to questions of trade and commerce, and the readjustment of a French maritime code I It is something to indulge in dressing-gown and slippery chats with an Ewa- ZOR ; something to " have occasion to dine "—a very apt phrase—with Lord Cow - Lay. But to super sede the British Ambassador and the Foreign office altogether, and to suppress the British Par liament, was an undertaking far more worthy of the bold resource of a man who fetches and car ries for an EMPEROR. So when Mr. ROEBUCK (a comparatively inexperienced dabbler in Emperors) had put a motion on the paper for the recognition of the Confederate States, a rumour somehow or other came to the ears of the ingenuous Mr. LINDSAY that the Emperor of the FRENCH had changed his mind, in a Confederate sense. Oddly enough the same rumour reached Mr. RozkrcK at the same moment ; and the Member for Shef field, instead of waiting to confer with the Mem ber for Sunderland in the House, dropped him a note, asking whether he had heard the rumour, and whether he could ascertain its credibility, and pro posing to go and see the EMPEROR himself. Mr. LINDSAY sent Mr. ROEBUCK'S note to " • friend in " Paris," not thinking it would reach his MA JESTY% hands. But the "friend in Paris" was so well selected that the note did reach his MAJESTY, Mad his MAJESTY sent to say that he should be glad to see Messrs. ROEBUCK and LINDSAY if they were coming to France. Mr. LINDSAY, whose delicacy is quite remarkable, was unwilling to intrude upon his MAJESTY j but Mr. Rozet:ca, whose delicacy is combined with pertinacity, felt, that the House would believe him better than his " friend in Paris." It was to satisfy Mr. ROEBUCK that Mr. LINDSAY consented at great ' personal inconvenience to cross the Channel and to penetrate to Fontainebleau. Thither they came, I saw and conquered the EMPEROR; and the Mem-1 ber for Sheffield heroically pinned his Ma mere to the declaration, that he would be only too happy to join the British Government in the recognition of the Southern States, if the House Of Commons would petition the Crown to that effect. Such is Mr. LINDSAY'S version of the in terview, which does not differ materially from the cautious confessions of the Moniteur. As to any reproaches that fell from the EMPEROR'S lips against the double dealing of the British Government, the Moniteur has denied them, and Baron Gaoe knows nothing of them. Mr. LINDSAY, however, hinted last evening, in words of awful obscurity, that the EMPEROR had on one occasion &yen him liberty to make certain statements in Parliament, which he had hitherto forborne from making, lest the harmony between the two Governments should be dis turbed. These statements formed part of a con versation on American affairs between Mr. LIND SAY and the EMPEROR on the 11th of April, 1862, and they were listened to by Mr. LINDSAY as an English subject "with great pain." It is character istic of his MAJESTY'S frankness, however, that he begged Mr. LINDSAY to communicate his remarks to Lord Cowurr, and to bring back Lord Cowtay's observations in return. Mr. LINDSAY takes great credit to himself for carrying the Earzitoa'a words to Lord COWLEY, and fetching not a syllable back --- The Prier* and Princess of Wales, attended by the Mar. chionen of Carmarthen and Captain Grey, arrived at Marl borough-hoe's about 12 o'clock yesterday morning from Frogmore. Their royal highnesses afterwards proceeded to Wimbledon, attended by the Marchioness of Carmar then, Lieut.-General and Captain Grey, and were present at the ride shooting of the National Ride Asso ciation.

ROYAL VISIT TO ALDERSHOT.-(THIS DAY.; The Prince and Princess of Wales left Marlbo rough Howe this morning for Aldershot. His Royal High nese the Duke of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Commanding in-Ctiet. accompanied by the Adjutant-General, Sir James Yorke Scarlett, General Sir Richard Airey, Colonel the Hoe. James Macdonald, Colonel Clifton, and a brilliant staff, received their royal highness. The Princess Mary of Cambridge and a numerous assemblage of the leading aristocracy also left town by an early train. On arriving at the South Camp the royal party partook of lun cheon, after which they proceeded to review the troops, who were drawn up in readiness to receive them. The weather is exceedingly fine. The strength of the division his been considerably augmented during the past few days by the arrival of several regiments ; among which are included the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), the sth Lancers, the 18th Hussars, the Ist battalion Soots Fusilier Guards, and two batteries of the Royal Artillery. The present strength of the division comprises 7 regiments of cavalry, 12 regi ments of infantry, 3 b diaries of Royal Home Artillery, and 4 field batteries, mounting a total of 42 guns. In round numbers there are 16,000 men and nearly 800 officers in amp, and the whole of the force available will take part in the day's proceedings. The Princess of Wales bad never witnessed a rifle match till yesterday, and els followed the proceedings at first with surprise, but afterwards with such evident interest as led her into an attempt to muter the intricacies of scoring. Lord Elebo, on the part of the council, pre. seated her royal highness with one of the mini►ture badges of the association, which, when enamelled, forms a charm ing ornament for the neck. The Princess was dressed in deep mourning, and probably on that account appeared somewhat paler then usual. She was to have presented the "Alexandra" prise, given by the association in her honour, to the winner, but unfortunately the match did not conclude before the departure of the royal party, who bad engage. manta obliging them to return to town before 6 o'clock. The Prince and Princess paid a short visit to Lady Anne Fiche, at her cottage upon Wimbledon-common before leaving the ground, and both then and upon their arrival were warmly cheered by the assembled spectators. Last night the Duchess of Buccleuch gave a grand ball at Sefton House, the temporary family residence in Be!gray...square. The entire suite of principal apartments on the ground floor and on the principal story were thrown open, and tastefully decorated with the choicest flowers, as well as the grand stamen, which wu profusely adorned with flowers and admirably illuminated. The saloon was appropriated for dancing. The Countess of Derby held a reception last evening at her residence in St. Jamea's-square. Previously to the assembly the noble earl and countess entertained at dinner their Serene Highoseees the Prince and Priucees Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Marquis and Marchioness of Aberoorn and Lady Georgian► Hamilton, the Earl Gran. wills, the Earl of Aunwiley, Viscount and Visoounteee Grey de Wilton, Lord and Lady Churchill, Lord Loughborough, Lord Henry Scott, Colonel the Hon. P. W. Talbot and Lady Emma Talbot, Mr. and Lady Augusta Start, and the Hon. Frederick Stanley. The Earl and Countess of Zetland left town yes terday for Paris. The noble earl will return for Goodwood Races. Last evening the members of the Fast India United Service Club entertained Captains Speke and Grant, the discoverers of the bourse of the Nile, at a sumptuous benguet—the trot public dinner given by the club—at Willies Rooms. About 160 gentlemen were present, in cluding General Jacob, C.B.

The notes of the three powers to Russia are now published simultaneously by the Moniteur. They certainly do not bear out the assertions freely made three weeks ago that they were in entire harmony. On the contrary, they differ notably not only in the wording but in spirit, and this difference offers Russia a splendid opening, which she will be sure to turn to account, for sending dilatory answers. The English note is the most categorical of the three, and tenders a pretty clear alternative of an acceptance or a refusal. That of France merely speaks of the treaties which England con siders positively binding as a possible basis for negotiations. Austria leaves the whole question open to almost any suggestion, and no doubt Russia will find in the vagueness of the Austrian despatch a good reason to prefer it to the others. The Opinion .Nationale says, tersely, "The English despatch is firm ; that of France is conciliatory ; the Austrian is ambiguous." The France, anticipating events, contradicts vari ous journals which have spoken of Paris, Loudon, and even Warsaw as likely to be the seat of the conference on the Polish question, and pretends to know that Brussels is the locality fixed upon. A Paris letter in the Sala Public says : The most striking political news of the day is the depar. tare from Paris, on his way to Mexico, of M. Hubert De lisle, senator, with the important mission of presiding over the civil and administrative reorganisation of that country. Hs takes with him several clerks from the Ministry of Finance. _ . . . - It is said that General Buaine is marching from Mexico to Cuernavaca to dislodge the Mexican General Comonfort, who had established himself there. The Prase says that three thousand men are to be embarked at Toulon for Madagascar. The Figie, of Cherbourg, publishes an extraordi nary quibble apropos of the contradiction of the Moniteur that the Emperor was going to pass a naval review there. The Moniker, it observes, does not say that the Emperor will not pay a visit to Cherbourg, and it professes to be still expecting him. A genealogist in the department of the Herault has just discovered that the Empress is descended from Saint Louis, through his daughter Blanche, who married Ferdinand de la Cerda of Castile, wham great granddaughter, Marie de la Cerda, married Pedro Nunez de Guzman, the Empress's paternal ancestor. This is a discovery which, in the time of D'Hozier, would certainly have made the fortune of the author. It shows that the Im perial Prince is of the blood of the Capets, and has a right to call himself a son of Salut Louis—a title of which the legitimate dynasty was so proud. The oldest art critic in France, M. E. J. Dele clime, died yesterday at Versailles, aged eighty two. He wrote fur more than forty years in the Dibats, and some of his articles appeared in that journal very lately. The Duchess of Hamilton, Lady Mary Hamilton, the Marquis of Douglas, and Lord Charles Hamil ton, have arrived at the Hotel Bristol from Baden- Baden. His grace has had an attack of cerebral congestion, and the family were, in consequence, telegraphed for. The Empress has called several times at the hotel to inquire after the duke. The last bulletin is thus worded : Monday morniog, half past 7. The state of the Duke of liamilton has not become worse mince yeeterd►y main. The medical men in attendance are MM. Bayer and Jobert de Lamballe and Sir Joseph 011iffe. According to intelligence from Rome, much imeuitsess has been occasioned by the reports of the ill health of Queen Marie of Naples. It appears that a chest oomplaist has Disinfested itself, and that the malady has already made some progress. The King of Prussia will leave Carlsbad on the 18th, and will reach Osatein after an easy journey of about three days' duratioo. His Majesty will reside there about three weeks, and will then visit the Queen of PTIVIIiS at Baden-Baden, remaining till the end of August. The King will thee return to Berlin to be present at the autumnal military manceuvres. At Antwerp this year the chimes play regularly at even hours: • potpourri of melodies from Vmdt's Lom bardi arJerusalem, for the opera is known by both names, while the half•hows are signalised by • strain from Gounod's Faust.

On Sunday morning the volunteers, guardsmen, police, and others in camp at Wimbledon paraded at half past 10 o'clock, and marched to the grand stand for divine service. A temporary pulpit, covered with the Union Jack, was erected facing the stand, and the Rev. Mr. Ball officiated as chaplain. The brass timid of the G division of police took part in those portions of the service admitting musical acces sories. The Guards were ranged in one compartment of the stand, the volunteers, camp attendants, do., in the centre, and the police on the left. Lord and Lady Anne Riche, Colonels Luard, Bowes, C►ptain Ruston, de., were present. Eight hundred pounds have been subscribed towards the building of a Sailors' Home, at Southampton. Nearly 2,000 beds have been occupied this year in the temporary home in that town. The accounts from Canada by the present steamer state that the elections seemed likely to terminate in a very even balancing of partite. The ministry would, it was ex pected, have a small majority. Advices from the republic of Liberia state that at the election on the sth of May, Mr. Daniel B. Warner was chosen president for two years, amid Mr. James W. Priest, vice-president. A Paris letter says :—" All the world is rushing out of town to escape the oven-like temperature of Paris devote and boulevards ; those who remain behind, however, have some amusement left in the daps of sundry very startling anecdo►s, which belong decidedly to the CAronique s osa d a ku,e, Without going into particulars, it will be su ffi c ipet to lay that the eccentricities imputed to a mys terious beauty, one of the belles of last main in Perim, and her appearance among other things at a public ball-room or casino, much frequented by Andante, and celebrated for its beer, its tobacco, and for the purity with which the traditions of the national dance of the Quartier Latin are preserved there, are giving rise to a great many comments, and rumours of a suit for separation are rife. If it should come on, it is likely to be piquant." M. Thiers was last week received by the King of Bavaria. A letter from Copenhagen mentions the expected arrival there of Prince Amadeus, second son of the King of Italy, who intends to begin by Denmark a tour in the Scandinavian States. The convent of the Nun Patrociuio, in the arighbourbood of La Gracia, which contains 40 women, and enjoys a royal subsidy of 5,000 fr. per month, besides numerous presents of necessaries from the royal domain, excites surprise among the Spaniards sojourning in the locality. These people appear to look with disfavour upon soak liberalities. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE MEETING. VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. The announcement that it was the intention of their Royal Highnemes the Prime and Princess of Wales th e honour the National Rifle Association prise meeting with thir presence yeaterday naturally aroused • good deal of interest. The council made all practicable preparations for the proper reception of their royal visitors. Two elegantly I fitted up marquees were erected cm the ground at the dif- I ranges from which the competition was to take place, from which • distinct view of all that was going on could be obtained. Independently of this a royal refreshment tent was erected near Lord Elcho's cottage, while for the accom modation of the general public there was • spacious stand near to the Suing point of the 500 yards range, Throughout the day trains arrived at frequent intervals at the Putney statioo of the London sod South Western I Railway, briugiog numerous visitors, and the Wimbledon line also was extensively patrdnised, and long before one I o'clock many thousands of persons had made their way to the common. From the shortness of the distance the MOM aristocratic part of the company came down in their car , riages, and soon after two o'clock the scene was • brilliant OWL The ground was kept by the A reserved and V division of police, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Butt and Mr. Inspector Penfold, and most ably did they perform their duties, as by the excellent arrangements that were made every person bad an opportunity of witeeming what was going on. The programme of the day, in addition to the contest between the Lord, and Commons, consisted of the Alex. andre prim of 501., the match between the members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, All Comam prize, th e Association Cup, the Saturday Renew and Lord Vernon's prizes, the third and fourth series of extra prizes, the running deer and pool and sighting targets—most ample in point of number, and very rakish/el es regarded the prizo. Shortly before three o'clock a loud cheer in the distance announced that the royal visitors were approaching, and at three o'clock precisely the royal carriages entered the en closure Dear the windmill, coming in the direction of the Roebampton-road. Then arose a tremendous cheer, which the Priors and Princess most graciously acknowledged, and the carriage slowly proceeded towards the spot where the Lords' and Commons competition was about to commence. Here was a fresh outburst of cheering, the band struck up the National Anthem, and the usual demonstrations of loyalty took place. On alighting from the carriage the Princess of Wales took the arm of Lord Elcho, and the Prince of Wales accompanied Lord Spencer. Their royal highnesses were accompanied by the Marchioness of Car marthen, Lady Rivers, the Duchess of Manchester, Captain Grey, and suite. Having taken their rata under the tent which had been provided, the shooting for the Lords' and Commons contest commenced. The different branches of the legislature were thus re presented: House of Lords—Earl Dude, Marquis of Aberoorn, the Earl of Airlie, Lord Bolton, Lord Suffield, Earl Dunmore, Lord Methuen, Duke of Marlborough, Earl Granard, Lord Loodesborougb, and Lord Wharocliffe. House of Commons—Lord Bury, Mr. Dnocenba, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Egerton, Mr. Forster, the Earl Grosvenor, Mr. Humberston, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Vivian, Mr. Hay Wemes, and Lord Elcho. The targets No. 4 and No. 6 were set apart at the 200 yards for this match, Captain Drake, R.E., scoring for the Lords, and Captain Herbert, of the Coldstream Guards, scoring for the Commons. Captain Bythesay, of the lat Royale, had charge of the targets, and Captain Haulms bad charge of the ruse. The diagram of the Lords shooting was taken by Captain Ruston, of the Weald of Kent Volun teers, and adjutant to the camp. The royal party having taken their seats, they were sup plied with some very powerful glasses, manufactured by Mr. Steward, of the Strand, optician to the association. They watched the proceedings with interest, and shared in the rural exultation when a bull's eye was made by either of the competitors. The Princess of Wales made frequent observations upon these events to the Countess of Spencer and the Duchess of Manchester, who were rated near her. The shooting was carried on with a determination on the part of the members of the House of Lords to maintain the honour they obtained in last year's competition, and.on that of the House of Commons equally so to wrest it from them in favour of the popular branch of the legislature. The shooting of Earl Ducie and Lord Wharncliffe was well calculated to leave the result unaltered, while that of Lord Bury and Mr. Duocombe was powerful to carry the honour in an opposite direction. As each shot was discharged, Captain Williams, of the 19th Middlesex, who was provided with a powerful glass, called aloud the part of the target , 1 which had been struck, whether it was a bull's eye, centre, or outer, some moments before it wu indicated by the' markers at the butts, so that when the usual disc was dim played it merely brought a confirmation of what had been announced before. By this means he was enabled to dot down in a diagram the position of every shot made by each competitor throughout the contest. The business of the match having been concluded at the first range, the Prince and Princess and the rest of the party walked to the firing point at 500 yards, and they were , cheered as they proceeded. Having taken their seats under &spicier tentythe remaining part of the contest took place, and their royal highnesses remained until it was nearly brought to a close. They then proceeded to the refresh. ment tent, where they stayed for a short time for luncheon, and finally left the ground shortly before six o'clock, the Prioress bowing gracefully to the crowds assembled. The contest was soon afterwards concluded, and although the HO6llB of Lords strained all their powers they were finally overpowered by the House of Commons, who gained the victory by the majority of 37, the total numbers for the House of Commons being 460, and the House of Lords 423. The result was hailed with great cheering. Amongst the fashionable; on the ground we observed the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl and Countess Vasa, Lord Ranelagh, the Duchess of Manchester, Lady Charlotte Russell, the Marchioneu of Aberoorm Colonel Grey, the Hon. F. Byog , Lady Dude, Lord and Lady Priding, the Dean of Westminster, Lord and Lady Lhgby, Lord and Lady Bandlesham, Lord Llanover, Lord Mews, Colonel North, Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lady Bury, Co lonel Kennedy, dic. Some disappointment was experienced that the Prince and Princess of Wales did not visit the Exhibition tent, in which the different prizes are displayed, as they bad been especially set out for their inspection. The contest between the Caworidge and Oxford univer sities termioated in favour of Cambridge.

DRAMA The series of Madame Ristori's performances at Her Majesty's Theatre closed tut evening with Alfieri's ;.1 tragedy of Rovaundo--otie of those sombre stories of Italian history in which the classic drama of Italy abounds. Per. haps so play of Alfieri is better calculated to convey s a idea of the characteristics of his genius. Dependent almost entirely upon the conflict of passions in a few character; and utterly devoid as it is of all those poetic ornaments in which our own great dramatists took delight, to an E ng li s h audience, unprepared by • previous study of the author's writings, it must necessarily appear strange am unnatural. But what is lost by the want of all those accessories which are now-a-days deemed indispensa ble to • dramatic plot, is in great measure recompensed by the intensity which this concentration of the interest runes manly implies. Probably DO English play could give so cl aw an idea of this kind of work as Shelley's tragedy of the Cenci, which, though a production of far higher genius, b eg , s in ita sombre incidents, its intensity of passion, and its as. elusion of all mere descriptive writing, evident traces of study of the works of the author of Bo Banda and the Conpiura de Pazzi. The terrible story of Itoemtuids, rate almost entirely upon the hatred of the heroine, 060 of the Queens of Lombardy, for her step-daughter, Remade The causes of her hatred are siphoned in the first woe. Compelled in early life to marry Alboin, the murderer of her father, Rosmunda has vowed eternal vengeance apust her husband and his daughter. The former she had used to be slain by Almacluld, whom the had rewarded for th e service with her hand, while she has determined to many the unfortunate step-daughter to the cruel and bloodthirsty : Alarico, who has already disposed of three wine. But her scheme of vengeance does not work smoothly. She know her new husband Alnuchild to be her tool, bet she has ea wonted on his forsaking hi allegiance in order to protect Romilda, with whom he has, in fact, fallen in love. Wi lk Li his disloyalty to his wicked consort is discovered by be, he most also be punished ; and this can be done by call; in the aid of one his generals, 11domld, on whom the love d Romilda has fixed itself. The end is the triumph of Rae moods, the murder by her hand of Romilda in the preemie of the two men who loved the girl, and the abasement d her wicked husband. The first great scene in the drama is that in which invade overhears her husband's declaration of love for the hated rep-daughter. Her eager curiosity to hear m e , word of his coufewion of infidelity—her tiger-like mows sion of countenance as she came stealthily upon them, her fiendish exultation over her husband, as the yowg maiden expressed for him only sc3rn and detestation, w e . finely rendered. But the most terrible delineation d ferocious hatred appears in the climax of the last act, n which, dragging the girl along, and clasping her to he breast, as if she were precious to her for ti satisfaction of her vengeance, she defies her kabuki sad her lover to interfere, end thee plunges a • dagger into the heart of her victim. Her action at ttis point, as she held up the bloody dagger, mid with a terrible look at her husband exclaimed, while the ' descended— Tr.= I Or priscipia appeea La vendetta. the amplere in to gizmo— was equal to anything in those terrible displays of turista passion with which she has so often electrified her audience.
