POPS Hammer stated the case of Poland to the House last evening with remarkable dear- neas and cogency. He dwelt, as all the succeed• , i n speakers did, on the violation of the engage ments which Russia had undertaken towards Poland under the Treaty of Vienna; and trans- , forming the fact of this violation demanded " the " interposition of England in vindication of her I " own public faith and solemn engagements." This, as the concluding paragraph of an Address to the Crown, was, to say the least, a very strong interpretation of the fact that Russia had broken her engagements, and the House, which had unanimously assented to Mr. HENNESSY'S propo sitions, was hardly prepared, not only to lay the guilt of Russia to the charge of England, but to consider the honour of England at stake in the violation of Russian engagements. It was, how ever, to our thinking, putting too fine a point on Mr. HENNESSY'S emphatic representations to con sider them as committing the House to war. Besides, war is an alternative that should always be reserved and never pronounced, as a final appeal never probable though never impossible. Lord Psi inseams was at least more exact in his definition of our position towards Russia and Poland under the Treaty of Vienna when he said that we bad "rights " but not " obligations "in the case. The Passim was referring to technical obligations at the moment. It was reserved for Mr. Disimzu to vindicate with great emphasis the "moral oblige " tions " to which plenipotentiaries have so often appeared insensible, and in Mr. DISRAELI'S care Lord Psi axsarox may safely leave them. The temper of the debate last evening was that of men in earnest—equally temperate and firm; it was a free expression of the feelings of the nation, and it would >u become those who have faith in moral force to doubt that the voice of the British Par liament is audible afar in the camps of patriots and the courts of tyrants. One result of last night's debate should be the renewal of confidence in the preservation of the peace of Europe. Lord PiLmmurrox in recommending the mover of the Address to the Crown to be content with the unanimous expression of feeling he had celled fort h, suggested the probability of a diplomatic interven tion on the part of France, Austria, and England ; an intervention of good offices and good counsels to the Russian Government, of sympathy and support to the subsisting rights of Poland. The Pants Myriam pointedly referred to the part taken by Lord Csammason in the Treaty of Vienna with regard to Poland ; when, as now, France, Austria, and England were of one accord in desi ring the restoration of Polish independence. Mr. DISRAELI laid great stress on the fact that Lord C. m (to whose memory, he said, poste rity did justice) had only abandoned the project of restoring the political integrity of Poland, because at that moment Russia was in a condition to im pose her own terms; whereas now France and England are in a position of commanding autho rity, and Austria is waxing stronger every day, while the military power of Russia is comparatively shattered, and the whole governing system of that Empire is in the throes of a social revolution. Austria, by the bye, was held up to admiration last evening, and not on the Tory benches only, as if Cracow had never been incorporated, and the massacres of the Galician nobles in 1846 were a myth, and Venetia were a Paradise of content Let bygones be bygones is a useful political maxim, which for our part we could wish that Austria would enable the friends of free nations and righteous governments to adopt in her behalf. Compared with Prussia, Austria is almost a liberal power, and there is no doubt that at this moment she is doing good service to the cause of peace. Bat while Venetia is in torments and Hungary in fetters, may not the Russian Government see in the councils of Vienna an example " immense ingratitude" rather than of respect for right and justice f But the cause of Poland is making many converts. If Mr. STANO ?SSD gives his impassioned eloquence to an oppressed nationality, Mr. SEYMOUR Firs °mato is no lees ardent in his denunciations of tyranny, and his aspirations for the victory of an insurgent people. SIR F. Sierra received his apology last night and declares himself satisfied ; but it was Mr. REED who obtained the honours of the HOUSE. Putting the SPEAKER and the Serjeant-at-Arms in motion to procure the withdrawal of a hasty and unimportant letter, is something like suing for a debt of three-and-aixpenoe in the Court of Queen's Beach. Mr. REED'S decisive and thorough-going apology was a well-advised act ; and we only wish that he may exhibit as much skill in building ships as he has shown in extricating himself and the House from an inconvenient situation. ~~ -nr,*o THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1863. gbe COUrt• •IFIXDO -- DECon", rn:ti. • The Queen, encompanied by the Crown Princess of Prussia (Princess 'loyal), drove oat this monis( attended by Lord A.

This morning her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, the Prince of Wales, Prince Louis of Hesse Dramstadt, and suite, left Windsor Castle, and travelled by special train to Paddington. Her royal highness, by the command of her Majesty, held a drawing-room, at Bt. James's Palace. Loon before the time appointed the Park was crowded with elegantly-dreamed ladies, anxious to get a glimpse of the illustrious party, who were loudly cheered. The royal party were renewed by the lords and ladies of her Majesty's household and, aooordieg to annual custom, the Blue-coat boys of the Mathematical School, Christ- church, Newpte-street, exhibited their charts. which were most graciously inspected and approved of. The royal body guard of her Majesty's hon. corps of Gen tlemen at Arms was on duty in the state saloon. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the staircase. Amongst the early arrivals were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, her Royallghnees Princess Nary of Cam bridge, his Serene Highness Prinos Edward of Saxe Weimar, Count and Counter Gleichen. The foreign ambassadors with their ladies and ministers were ushered into the throes. room, when the presentations, which were extremely nume rous, took place. The dresses and equipages were more magnificent, it was thought, than they have been for years. * tallier the Royal Arms of Enema end them of Den. nark will be Axed. The (losinthian columns of the Yeardealsonse will be draped via crimson cloth; from the =Aids will be sus pended sap of Bowers, from the centres of which will be hong wreaths of orange blossom. On the shafts of the columns will be fixed medallions of the Prince and Princess in relief, surrounded with wreaths of the oak, surmounted by the Prince of Wales' plume. Prom the windows will beeaspeuded crimson drapery, with wreaths, in the centre of which will be plead alternately the CMS of Denmark and the Prince of Wales' featiosra. Under the portico, and in • projecting gallery, will be sesta for ladies and gentlemen. in the front of which will sit the lady Mayonas surrounded by young ladies, who on the approach of the Princess Alexandra will descend from the portico to meet the Princess, and present to her Royal Highness • bouquet. Provision has been made for illuminating the building with pa, and on the balustrade at the summit of the building will be affixed tripods, from which fire will asoend. In Bt. Paul's-churchyard accommodation for some 10,000 persons will be afforded to view the procession. The front of the galleries throughout will be ornamented by a bold cornice, with Roman tabs, and every 8 feet apart will ap pear flags and banners of the country and corporation, and the several banners of the livery companies. The front of the Guildhall will, on the evening of the marriage, be brilliantly illuminated with gu jets through out, and a device of the Prince of Wales' feathers, sur mounted by • large star. In the centre of the arch of Tample-bar will be a medal lion of the Prince and Princess, surrounded with flags. Over the centre window the arms united, surmounted with the stains of Hymen. On each corner of the Bar will be tripods, emitting incense. The entire cornice of the pedi ment will be covered with emblematical devices. Over the footways will be fixed angels, holding sap of usage blos soms, above which will be tripods. derangement. will be made to illuminate the whole on the night of the marriage. The Monument will be decorated with flags and banners, and illuminated on the night of the wedding by an electric We learn on good authority that hie Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and hie bride will, after the marriage, proceed to Osborne by way of Southampton, instead of the quieter route usually preferred by the Queen, viz., by way of the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard. There is a saving of time by the Southampton route of about half an hour. We (A doertiser) understand that it was yester day agreed by the committee appointed by the Corporation of the City of London to fix on the form is which the intended present should be made to the Primes Alexandra, that the 10,0001. voted for the purpose should be expended on a diamond necklace and earrings. With this view six or seven of the leading jewellers of London have been invited to submit to the committee of msoagement. by Wednesday next, specimens of their most magnificent jewels. We understand that the Queen and the Prince of Wales have expressed their admiration of a necklace which has been submitted to their inspection ; but it is thought probable that some of those to be tent in on Wednesday next may be still more admired by her Majesty and his royal highness. As the day for the marriage of the Prince of Wales approaches, the enthnsium of the inha bitants of Liverpool appears to be' fairly aroused, and there is no doubt that en the 10th the town will present as gay end festive a scene as any throughout the country. The mayor, Mr. IL C. Gardner, has invited about 2,000 of the principal inhabitantt to a magnitioeut ball and banquet, which his worship intends to give at the town hall, and in order to provide the neesseary room for the nests, the Exchange and underwriters' rooms will be con nected with the town-hall buildings by a corridor carried acmes the Exchange area. Another grand ball is to be given on the same evening in St. George's Hall, at which it is expected about 1,000 persons will be present. The proceeds of this ball will be devoted to the local charities. The inhabitants of Wallasey, near Liver pool, held a meeting yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and made all the preliminary arrangements for the festivities' , in that locality. The ladies of Liverpool have decided that their souvenir to the Princess Alexandra shall consist of a diamond cross, valued at 8001. Mr. Joseph Mayer, et Liverpool, has been entrusted with the preparation of the gift, which it is understood will be accompanied bg an ad dress. The address will be enclosed not in a casket, as originally contemplated, but in a folio. It is understood that several of the London theatres will be thrown open grataitionsly to the public oil the °opinion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales, and negotiations are now pending with other managers. Covent garden Theatre already advertises a moroiug performance of the pantoraine (the last) on the 10th peon., and it is probable that some other day performances may take place, so as to distribute the crowd through as many channels as possible. The Admiralty has ordered that the 10th proximo is to be kept as a general holiday at all the naval establish. meats in the country. Extra amp are to be paid for that day, sod all the gates of naval dockyards are to be illumi nated. PROPOSSD PRESENTATION OE THE " NORWICH GAT "TO THE PRINCE OF WALIFS.—A provisional com mittee hes been formed at Norwich, with the Mayor and Sheriff at He head, to raise a fund for the purchase of the Norwich Gates, with the view of presenting them to the Prima of Wales.

THE PROSECUTION OF PROFESSOR JOWEIT. The case et the Rev. Drs. Puaey, Heasley, and Ogilvy e. the Rev. B. Jowstt, M.A., was resumed yesterday is the Viewehanosllor's Court at Oxford. The attendance of nuke end junior members of the University was very numerous. Mr. Disiby Latimer appeared for the appelhats ; and Mr. Pottinger for the respondents. The learned humor went at great length into the statutes of the university, quotift very largely from them. He concluded by saying that, on the whole, he was of opi nion, that if he had jurisdiction in the matter, which was doubtful, it was a jusialicton which the statutes did not bind him to OXlM'Cille, and which he ought not to exercise upon this citation. He ought not, there fore to permit his office lobe promoted, or in less technical language, toallow the suit to proceed any further. To allow the protest, however, would be to declare that he bad ab solutely no jurisdiction in the case, of which be was by no means satisfied. He should therefore adopt the course which answered most directly to the opinion at which he had arrived. He should reject the protest, but be should refuse to order Professor Jowett to appear, and should refuse to admit ar ticles on the part of its promoters. The practical effect will be to diem's' the defendant. From that refusal the promoters were at liberty to appeal, and he had the tatislao tkin of knowing that if he were wrong, he should be set right, and that his error, if it were one, would do no serious in to the univeridty. Latimer, upon the conclusion of the ,learned assessor's judgment, gave nodes of appeal lir. Pottinger then ryes and stated that as the promoters of the suit had been named, he must apply for the cost' the respondents had been put to. deiessor refused the application, as he said his deci sion had turned on the uncertain nature of the statutes, and the expense of the proceedings had not hitherto amounted to much. THE ROYAL MARRIAGE. THE RECEPTION OF THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA. The corporation of London have carried their point in the arrears:sent, so tar as they are concerned, of the royal pageant on the entrance of the Princess Alexandra into the metropolis. The order, emanating from the Home-office, which had assigned to the Prime and Priam. • place at the head of the cavalcade, with the civic authorities in the rear, wee yesterday changed or modified, and the Lord Mayor and thrifts, with the aldermen and commatera, will now pre cede and conduct their royal highnesses through the City on their way to Windsor Castle, instead of following them, and thousands upon thousand. of people along the line of route will have an opportunity of witnessing the spectacle with emarerative satisfactioa. Yesterday morning the ' Lord Mayes, accompanying a deputation of aldermen and councils 's from the Royal Reception Committee of the Corporation, had en interview with Lord Palmerston on the subject, sad later in the day, while the committee were sitting at Guildhall, the rubjoined communication, addressed by the Lord Chamberlain to the Chid Magistrate, arrived : " Lord Charnlxidain's Office, St. James's Palace, Feb. 27. " My dear Lord Mayor,-1 have the honour to inform your Lordship in reference to our conversation this morning that there will be so objection to your Lordship, with the Sheriffs and Common Concil, preceding the royal procession on the wean et the entrance of her Ropy. Highness the Princess Alexandra into the city of London, upon the dis tinct understanding that the proosetion of the civic autho rities should terminate at Temple-bar. " I trust that I need not ware your lordship that her Majesty fully appreciates the loyalty manifested by the city of Loudon in the reception proposed to be given to her Royal Highness the Primer Alexandra of Denmark on her arrival in this metropolis ; but, as it is desirable to avoid any chance of delay and confusion, it is absolutely necessary that the arrangements suggested as above should be ad hered to ; and I have also to request that your lordship will be good enough to place yourself in communication with Sir Richard Mayne with a view to carrying out the above arrangement. "I shall be glad to hear from your lordship that you me net to the above, in order that I may receive her Majesty's pleurae relative thereto. "I have the honour to be, my dear Lord Mayor, " Your lordship's faithful servant, "The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. "Sneer." This letter is understood to have afforded the reception committee much satisfaction, sad they readily adopted the suggestion of Lord Sydney by appointing a deputation of their body to confer with Sir Richard Mayne, consisting of Alderman Hnmphery, Alderman Phillips, Aldermro Gib bons, Deputy Fry, Mr. Audition, and the Remembranoer. The Lord Mayor has received a communication from the general manager of the South-Eastern Railway, ti the effect that they lave coseldered the question of the extent to which they can accommodate the representatives of the city of Lando* the borough of Southwark. and the county of Surrey, at the Bricklayers' Arms Station on the airiest of the Princess, and they find it will be impossible to admit to the station more than the following gentlemen :—The Lord ' Lieutenant of Surrey, the county members for Surrey, the High Bailiff of Southwark, and the members for the bo. rough, Mr. Johnson, Chairman of Quarter Sessions, South ! week ; the Lord Mayor of London, and the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. The directors say they would have been glad if greater accommodation could have been at. forded, but in consequence of the circumscribed epees avail. able, and the amount of room which will be occupied in a great meteors by troops, together with parties who are emu ' pelted to take part in the reception and procession, they are I reluctantly obliged to place a limit to the numbers. In order to avoid undo. inteiniption on the platform, the gentlemen . before named will he expected to remain in the reception- L room at the station until the Princess has been conducted there from the train by the proper authorities. For some further and interesting details relative to the order of the royal procession we refer our readers to a re ' port, in another colomn, of what passed in the Home of Commons last night on the subject. We are enabled by the courtesy of Mr. Bunning, the City architect, to furnish the following particular. relative to the decorations on the line of route of the royal proces sion. They will commence on the south side of Loudon ' bridge. The parapets of the bridge will be ornamented from the south to the north with portraits of the ILIop of Denmark from the earliest period to his present Majesty Frederick VII., affixed on the Danish national standards ; surmounted with ravens and elephants. Between th; standards 100 tripods will be placed, from which incense arise. At the south and earth approaches of the bridge will be erected pedestals, on which will be placed statues of Fame surmounted by Danish warriors holding the "Dane ; brog," the national flag of Denmark. In the several re , I ceases of the bridge the same ornamentation will be ear ried out. On the northern side of Adelaide•place will be meted a triumphal arch, on the mouth side of which arch and in the c entre, immediately on the marriage way, will be placed the united arms of England and Den mark ; right and left, and over the footways, will be medallions in relief of the Prises and Princess. On the columns will stand statues of flax° Grenadian; the grammarian (1156) ; Holberg, the poet ; Thorwaldaeo, the sculptor ; and Jed, the painter. In the pediment will appear the following lines from Shakspere : Honour, riches, marriage, blessing, Long eoctisnance and increasing Hourly joys be still upon you : Engbind aho.ere her blessings on you. Under which will be a painting representing Britannia so corting the Primers Alexandra to the shores of Fagland accompanied by sea gods and goddesses. At night this paint leg will be removed, arid• transparency had representieg the riches of Earth, Air, arid Water, in offerings to t►e Primmer On the pediment will be represented Britannia in her ear, drawn by four horses, welcoming the Princess Alexandra to our shores, and on either side recumbent figures of Fame. heralding her happy approach to this country. On the southern front of the arch, and In its centre, will be a por trait of our gracious Queen Victoria, within a wreath of laurel and the crown above, supported by allegorical agues of Wisdom and Strength. On the eight Corinthian columns on this side o! the arch will be four statues of Fame. Above LATEST INTILLIGENOK SERIOUS NEWS FOR TH'A WRENCH FROM MRXICQ: Our Paris correspondent, wr;Aing late last even ing, says I learn from t h ority which I im plicitly rely upon, that the government has received most embarrass:mg news from Mexico. General Forey despairs .of taking Puebla without a much larger army than the one which he at present commands. He says the fortifications are very strong, and have been much improved of late. He could get round Puebla and march upon Mexico, but would not answer for the result of that measure. He testifies gnat the universal feeling of the popula tion is moist hostile to the French, and that the government of Juarez, whatever may be its faults, is the best that Mexico has had for a long time. In conclusion he recommends his government either to send very large reinforcements or to take the earliest opportunity of getting out of the business. From another source I learn that the Emperor tells General Forey that, in the present state of Europe, he cannot spare more troops for Mexico." (alum's TI:11011AMS.)

It was in the con genial congress of Richmond that this barbarous motion was made. The Faubourg St. Germain had a grand field day yesterday on the occasion of Prince Albert de Broglie's reception at the Academy. It is long since so many carriages with armorial bearings on the panels were seen around the doors of the Institute. The new academician is an undoubted Grand Seigneur of the first class as heir to his father, and he has besides high literary lineage, being grandson of Madame de StaeL His election fur nishes the first instance of a father and son sitting together in the arm chairs of the envied " forty." As to his personal claims to the much sought distinction which he has attained, les ingehantes langues, which never wag more freely than apropos of an academical election, do say that the authors who voted for him as nobleman, a catholic, and an Orleaniat, were not uninfluenced by the con sideration that he wields an influential pen as a reviewer iu the Revue des Deux Mendes. Prince Albert de Broglie's speech was, according to the invariable rules of the academy, a eulogy of his immediate predecessor. He gave an interesting history of the career of Father Lacordaire, who never appeared in the academy since he made his inauguration speech two years ago. M. St. Marc Girardin replied to Prince Albers de Broglie. A judgment of the correctional tribunal of Niort, reported at length in the Droit of Feb. 27, oontains hideous details, impossible to be reproduced in any English print, of the seduction by a French priest of a girl of 17, whose parents, too confident in the catholic religion, watched over her carefully out. side the church, but alas ! not within its walls. The name of this priest is Gauthier. He is the vicar of a village called Champdeniers, near Poitiers. His victim is named Bose Danty. By a long series of fiendish manoeuvres he corrupted her mind in the confessional. And when he at length succeeded in obtaining possession of her, soul and body, he for months together polluted the very altar itself with his foul amours. There being no doubt that the girl was a consenting party, the prosecution was not able to charge the miscreant with a higher offence than indecency in a public place, and he received the inadequate sentence of one year's imprisonment. Tus BIUSILIAN Divrictnmv.—lt transpired yes terday that the Foreign-office has fixed the amount it claims from the Brazilian government, on ac count of the wreck of the barque Prince of Wales, at 3,200/.

At that end of this line there is only one platform for arrivals and departures, and this neceesitateethe employmeat of a points man to work the train leaving the station on to its proper line. It appears that yesterday evening, upon the 7 p.m. " down" train leaving Farringdon-street, the pointsinan by some mistake turned it oo to the " up" line, and it had scarcely reached the entrance to the first Mei when it came into collision with the 6.45 " up" trek from Padding. ton. The shock was violent ; passengers were thrown from their seats, and the greatest alarm and confusion pre vailed, but it was soon discovered that no fatal, and but very few severe, injuries had been sustained. The driver of the " down " train, as soon as he discovered that he was upon the wrong line, shut off his steam, and took measures to stop the engine, which had not had time to attain its speed, and as the "up" train was nearing the station its speed had also been slackened. The consequence of this was that when the two trains met, though the collision was of sufficient force to bend the buffers and buffer boards of the carriages, it was not sufficient to damage them in any other way or to throw them over, and the injuries to the passengers were confined therefore almost exclusively to cuts, contusions, and bruises. The only mess of really severe injury, so far as we scald learn, were the following : Mr. Best, collector to the Royal Hospital for Incurables, was much bruised, and wthstill lastnight in a very lowstate ; Mrs. Charlotte Shortland was also severely bruised ; a gentle men, who received a compound fracture of thence.; and the gaud of one of the trains received a severs cut on the temple. Immediately after the accident the ptheengers jumped out of both trains, and meet of those who were injured were able to reach the platform without assistance. Mr. Tanner, the chief superintendent of the line, was immediately tele. graphed for from Paddington, and Mr. Adys, the station master at the Farringdon Station, lost no time in sending home in cabs those of the injured passengers who wen in a fit state to be removed. There were in all about twenty-five persons hurt, of whom five or six were able at once to go to their homes, and the remainder were in every case con ' veyed to their homes after having their wounds attended to by Mr. Browne, surgeon, of Kensal-green, who hap pened to be travelling in one of the trains which came into collision, and Mr. 0. Monday and Mr. C. A. Monday, of Snow-hill. None of the injuries are reported as of a dan gerous character. THE AMERICAN BLOOZADE.

" Department of Stake, Washington, Feb. 5. My Lord,—As opinions may be entertained by merchants interested in trade to the port c Galveston, in Taxa; that the blockade of that port by • United States naval force may, in consequence of recent events in that quarter, have been interrupted, I have the honoua to acquaint you, with • view to obviate embarreeminents to neutral commerce, which might be occasioned by such opinions, that the block. ads was nomad immediately, and will be continued until farther notice. Although due notice of such resumption will probably have been given by the commander of the blockading squadron to vessels which may attempt to enter Galveston, it is deemed advisable to communicate a similar notice to your lordship.—l have, ha., The Lord Lyons.

A quarterly court of the governors of this charity was held on Thursday last, at the Hospital ; R. C. L Baru, Fag.. occupied the chair. The report of the committee of management stated that sines the last meeting the locums lation of applicants had led the committee to resort to the game plan for the temporary increase of the hospital amen modation during the winter months, which they had felt called upon to adopt about twelve months ago, viz., that of putting an extra bed in each of the larger wards, besides using the physician's room ea a ward. The number of beds was thereby again inereseed to two hundred and ten. In than alleviating a large amount of human suffering, addi. tiocal expenses were necesearily incurred ,• but the com mittee trusted that in dating this simple feet, and in ap pealing to the public for a larger mowers of support, they would receive the help, which in this country is rarely with. held when required for a good purpose. The committee re minded the friends of the charity that the hospital wu stiff without any endowment ; and likewise that the payment of the mortgage debt (referred to in the last report) had absorbed not only the whole of the small reserve fund, but also nearly all the cash balance at the bankers. The out patients department equally maintained its character for extensive usefulnese. The committee, u well as many of the best friends of the charity, had long felt the importance of prescribing and dispensing for the out-patiente without detaining them longer than could be avoided. Some time ago certain alterations were therefore made for the purpose of remedying in some degree the evil. But the subject had again received grave consideration at the hands of the com mittee of management, and of a sub-committee specially appointed to deal with the question. In accordance with the recommendations contained io their report, further changes had been made, and others were in progress, which it was hoped and believed would have a beneficial effect. The committee reported with much regret a vacancy in the list of assistant P hysicians, consequent upon Dr. Budd Sanderson's election to a similar appointment at another hospital. The vacant office would be filled up on the stblof March. The number of in-patients admitted since Novem ber 27 had been 227 ; died, 26 ; aloha/Ted, many greatly benefited. 186 ; new out-patients' cues. 1,493. The report was adopted. A letter from Nice says :—" A splendid concert has just been given at the theatre for the benefit of the poor. The Baroness Vigier (Sophia Cenralli) kindly con sented, according to her annual custom, to give the power ful aid of her wonderful talent on the occasion. She was is perfect voice, and quite electrified her hearers. She flat gave the ' Cana Diva' from Norma, and never, perhaps, produced a greater effect. The applause was immense, but she could not be induced to repeat any part of the admirable morceen. She afterward', in the course of the evening, gave the Swiss song of Eckert, and, lastly, a German waltz air, which she dashed off with • spirit end brilliancy altogether inimitable. Ifdlle. Fermi played delightfully on the violin; Roncooi, Vuosi, and Paveni, gave a trio with great power and elegance, and several choruses were executed with unusual correctness and spirit, by • number of Lidice, visitors, •ed others. The King of Bavaria, the King of Wurtemberg The Duchess of Hamilton, Prince de Stirbey, Prince Comitini, the Baroness de Rothschild, and a crowd of princes, princesses, and other persons of distinction, were present.
