[TWOPENCE EXPREISS' Ni4OH FARTS. (nom ova owir ocausponatirt.) exquisite smoranuto, betray eufliciently the dis cipline of that celebrated master. Ills singing of Donizetti's lovely air, "In terra ci divisero," fairly surprised an audience by no weans uncritical or facile ; it was rapturously redemande4, and the singer was twice called for and enthusiastically ap plauded. In the duet "Sully Tombs " from Lucia (in the first part of the concert), which he sang with an American lady, he had already come and con quered ; but in the solo in the second part his triumph was complete ; and the young English tenor was all the " rage." Now, will Mr. Mohler be satisfied with his early laurels I Let us hope not ; he has all the world be fore him ; youth, energy, intelligence ; let us hope that he will accept these first honours as an incen tive to modest and sincere perseverance in the study of his art, and to the patient cultivation and im provement of his rare natural advantages. In the present lamentable dearth, not so much of good voices as of highly cultivated and intelligent singers, I have thought it worth while (from no mere impulse of national vanity or any purpose of vulgar puffery) to record the appearance of a new English tenor who is actually studying his art, and who not only has a fine voice but knows Low to use it. Whatqualiticiatiobsordispositionshir. Mohler possesses as a dramatic artiat I have not heard ; he Las, it seems, performed in private operatic theatri cals in London ; but " that's not much." Six feet and upwards are perhaps something too much for a tenor who has to make love to prima donnas (soprani are almost al ways short, as contralti are al 'nest always fat) of five feet four or live ; but this difficulty is not insuperable ; and such a voice, with such a style and (I may add) such a start, should be worth a Califor nia to our young fellow-countryman. Mr. Holder, I hear, is to make his debgt at Venice this Christ mas. Slack nerd rirtute! THE WESTMINSTER PLAY. THE OXPORD.-ORPHEE AIJX ENFERS. Comic Opera. by J.

A curious libel cue has just been decided by the Appeal Court of Douai. The imperial laws allow no other report in cases of public or private libel than the publication of the judgment. From this it appears that M. Stevenard Bethune, the sitting member for the department in which Douai is situated, and who was elected against the govern ment candidate, M. E. Boitelle, the brother of the prefect of police, was prosecuted for having said of and concerning his patronised opponent that he was " nue canaille, un usurier, un banqueroutier pret f— le camp, et qu'on ne devait plus voter pour lasi." [A low fellow, an usurer, and a bankrupt on the point of absconding, and that nobody ought to vote for him.] The Tribunal of the First In stance acquitted the defendant, but the appeal court held it to be proved that he really did pro nounce the words above mentioned. It was, how ever, otopsuiou that " large allowance" ought to be made for the circumstances under which the slanderous expressions were uttered, and in over ruling the decision of the court below, it thought that the justice of the case would be met by awarding no further punishment to K S. Bethune than that of inserting the judgment in some local papers, and paying the costa. The Cologne Gazette was seized two days ago for the offence of publishing a translation of a leading article of the Daily News, on the appeal of the " thirteen." - nEVITT and MOORK'S AUSTRALIAN LINK 1.1 PACKET 'CHIP.—For LAUNCIE 4 TON Direct fa. a er.L‘t p trt of her cargo engaged, and will have quick despatch% 04 4 ~.A6itowtl liritn.h.built ship MARY RUSSRLL /11T1 , 011.), A I. re,tp.ter 619 tow, JOHN itl.AniiN, Commander; 4lng in Londou lmcks.

The opening of the assizes in this town took place to-day in presence of a large crowd of people. The families of the individuals who were killed during the late disturbances demanded permission to put forward claims for indemnity, which was granted by the jury. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN. Dec. 13. In the Senate to-day the Miuister of Finance said that parliament would probably continue its sittings during the first two months of 1865, and then adjourn for a considerable time, to allow of the transfer of the capital. This measure would be carried out in the course of mixt May. ROME. PARIS, Dic.l3. The Paris papers publish a telegram from Rome asserting that the Pope had determined to forward a passport to Baron Ileyeudori, the Russian repre sentative at the Papal court, but had afterwards relinquished his intention. It is said that Baron 3hieudorf will not, however, in future be received at the 'Vatican. The news of the arrest in Rome of three brothers, having in their possession prohibited arms, and who had arrived from Ferrara, is confirmed. As regards the details and the object of their conspiracy nothing is known for certain. ROME, Dec. 13. It is positively stated that no Conaistory will be held at Christmas, as was expected.

The silk trade is to be freed frum all restrictions, and the territory of the Prince of Nagato having been confiscated by the Tycoon, the latter will pay the indemnity demanded by the European powers.

A German work, " Aus Paris," by Paul Linda; is prohibited in France because it speaks disrespectfully of "Chauvin,," by which term are familiarly designated unintelligent and undis criminated admirers of the military glory of the first empire. The Presse says : Time is • talk of a French "protectorate" of Tunis to b• established in concert with other powers. If this news is true. we deplore it—it would be • grave respon sibility for Fr►nce to assume and • serious derogation from the principle of their intervention ; and yet it seems to us that the policy of intervention has received checks enough to open the eyes of diplomacy. The Madrid journals say that the ministers have been for a whole week hard at work drawing up the Queen's Speech, lied find the task more difficult than usual. The grave and delicate points with which they have to deal are the St. Domingo question, that of Peru, that of the press, and last, not least, the finances. The recent re signation of M. Llorente, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is not considered of much political import ance. He differed from his colleagues as to the expediency of provoking a discussion by presenting a new law ou the press ; but parted with them on good terms, and received the Grand Cross of Charles ILL His successor, M. Antonio Be navides, was Minister of the Interior in the A.rrazola Cabinet, which called itself the "political historical catholic" ministry. Marshal Narvaez has persuaded the Queen to abolish ber private secretaryship, and .5L Tenorea, a favourite who has long held the of is dismissed.

The directors of the Garden of Acclimatisation have obtained permission to have a universal dug show in May next, in that part of the Champs ElysiSes next the river, known as Cours la Heine.

It is asserted that a widow named Vaudeville, lately deceased at Planque, near Douai, was 105 years old, and that she leaves 19 children and 111 grandchildren.

A grand vocal and instrumental concert was given I at the Palazzo Binucdui, on Thursday last, in aid of the poor who suffered by the recent inundations, and was attended by a crowded and brilliant com pany of the Florentine aristocracy and the principal foreign residents in the city. The Marchese Maria Picoolomini, whose name and charming talent the opera-going public of England have certainly not forgotten , and Madame Albertini Baucarde, an English ady, whose singing is also remembered by the audiences of Her Majesty's Theatre, and who has now become Italian by marriage, generously contributed their valuable services to the cause of charity, and were greatly applauded and admired. But you will be glad to bear that the highest vocal honours of the evening were attained by a young fellow-countryman of ours, who some two years since resigned an appointment iu the Civil Service to seek his fortune on the lyric stage. The profession of the stage, and of the lyric stage wore particu larly, is one of many blanks, and of a few prizes " beyond the dreams of avarice." It may be said of that road to fame and fortune that it is a steep and sudden ascent ; a road through brakes and thorns and wildernesses of neglect and obscu rity, to au eminence crowned with flowers and radiant with celebrity sod emcees. But a durable success iu this career, as in all others, is not to be achieved without a sustained effort of resistance to temptations, of painstakius ambition, labour, and self-denial, of which the world before the curtain, who only see the success, know nothing. It is hit or miss; and for a young English gentleman of good education and position in society to miss the highest place, is to fall to the lowest. Mr. Tom Mohler has been handsomely endowed by Nature • he has good looks, a tall and manly figure, a fraa k and easy bearing, and last not least, a pure tenor voice, of a rich and rare quality, that reminds Iu of Mario in his prime, and sometimes even of übiui ; a voice at once virile and tender, sweet, resonant, full. It is not a " robust" voice, I am happy to say—(robust voices are as common here as oustermougers in Tottenham-court-road) —though strong enough, under good training, to till the largest theatre ; but a graceful, flexible, suave, spotataneow voice—a voice for which a Mozart or a Rossini might have written before the present "robust" generation of tenors bawled themselves to pieces in revolutionary shouts and squalls. Mr. Mohler has, it seems, been studying uuinterruptedly for several mouths under the venerable Roman, and his method of delivering the voice from the chest, of taking breath. of graduating the transition from' the lower to the higher part of the register, his MARYLEBONE WORKING CLASSES INDUS• TRIAL EXHIBITION. A public meeting of the inhabitanta of the borough of Marylebone waa held last evening at the Court house, in Marylebooe•leoe, to initiate no industri►l exhi• bition for that locality upon the model of the recent North London Exhibition. Sir HOU/WILL PALX:II, M.P., the Attorney•Geoe. ml, presided, and uprooted his gratification at being invited to take the chair on so interesting and im portant an occasion. (Cheery.) He felt sure that all the residents of Marylebone must feel deep interest io a move ment that was eminently calculated to raise the intelligence, encourage the industry and the artistic tarts of the clause referred to, by exhibiting the products of their intellect and industry to the public in a manner as advantageous aa they had been displayed recently in soother part of the metro polis. He believed that the North London Exhibition was bat the beginning of a aeries of similar exhibitions which would not only thud to the elevation of the working claws as they were called, but to the advautage of the comoulunity generally. Being absent from town at the time he had not had the opportunity of visiting the 'shorten exhibition, but those who had were very much satisfied with the result, and very moth struck with the ingenuity displayed, while all felt that that exhibitiou formed the germ of • movement which could not but boot great beoeht to the classes who sugared in it. They knew what could be done by those clasees they saw what had been done with out the Menem**, of capital or leisure, and is fact seder almost every disadvantage. It was important that those classes should have the opportunity of bringing forward the products of their skill and ingenuity before the public, and taking their chance of the reward which public appreciation brought with it, instead of being compelled, as wee now too ohm) the case, to hand over all the pecuniary advantages to their employer. or other capitalist., or to deprive society of the bitnefits of their inventions. (Hear, beer.) In order to protect exhibitors in the right of their inventions, he understood a move , meet was on foot to extend to them the same protection which was given to exhibitors at the Great Exhibition of 1862, sod he promised to use all his influence lin favour of such a ccesseire. (Cheers.) He looked op= these industrial exhibitions as a means of promoting the happiness and moral elevation of those who took part in them. and he fully subscribed to the opinions expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the other day, es the subject, in closing the batiste° exhibition. The Rev. E. Witttturr, a depatatiou from the central committee, explained the arrangements which bad been made by the formation of district committees in connexion with the central committee for carrying out the object in view. They bad experienced some difficulty in finding a imitable place for the proposed exhibition, but an offer had been made of the Polytechnic Institution, the det•ila of which Professor Pepper would explain. What they wanted is the first place wth to form a guarantee fund, to which he was happy to say the working deems were contrtboting their half-crowns and five shillings liberally. It was con sidered that the exhibition might open in the month of March, and remain open for about two months, and that it might be made so attractive that it would pay itself. Mr. Idoitaeu., another member of the deputation, said that the guarantee fond already amounted to 244/. Professor Perris, of the Polytechnic, explained that the terms on which the directors of the Polytechnic bad offered the ass of that institution to the comdittee werelool. for the week of preparation, and 200/. a week during the (tie pre 'amid) four weeks of the exhibition, and for the week which would be occupied in clearing away. Mr. Hough and Mr. Morrie, working men, moved and seconded the following resolution, which was supported by Mr. Grata°, and mimed :—" That this meeting cordially approves the proposed Industrial Exhibition for the work iog classes of the borough of Marylebooe. and pledges itself to use every exertion in order to carry is out." Mr. Hutton and Mr. Pinot* waved and seconded, and I Mr. Nicholay spoke in favour of the following resolution : "That a district committee, to be called the Court-house Committee, be formed oat of this meeting, who shall ar range their own place and times of meeting, and depute three of their members as representatives at the central committee, which meets every Friday evening at the Working Men's Club, 71, Great Titchfielilatreet." Another resolution pledging the meeting to the forma tion of the guarantee fund was also carried• and the pro ceedings terminated with the usual acknowledgment to the chairman. In the Legislative Council, Calcutta, the Hon. H. 8. Maine hes brought forward a bill to legalise the rant rime of native cooverts to Christianity. This measure his been forced upon the government. The wives of native Christians will not cohabit with them, and the moo muse quietly live in open shame. The missionaries were very anxious to have a law which should enable them to remarry their converts without suhjecting them to any peneltiee. This tan of Mr. Naives will only authorise remar riage after such an interval has elapsed as will cow. elusively prove the final desertiou of the wife. The parties mast first be examined by a judge. "It would also, said Mr. Maine, " be a desirable addition to the older draughts if provision ware made for the convert having the oppor tunity of trying his own persuasion■ on Ilia wife in as inter view not overlooked or controlled by her family." Leave was given to introduce this bill. No objection appears to be entertaiised towards it es the part of the satires, and the reissioaariss are satisfied with it. LICENSED VICIVALLERs' AfirLOM.—ELECTION OF SECRETART.—The Board of Management held • special meeting at the Asylum yesterday, for the purpose of elect. log • gentleman to the important office of secretary, the hoard having accepted, at their monthly meeting on Friday last, the resignation of Mr. Thomas Jones, who had so zealously and ably occupied that peisitioe for the long period of 3-1 years. At the solicitation of the board, many of the past chairmen attended and rendered their advice. The }ward unanimously resolved upon electing Mr. George frorie as their secretary, that gentleman having officiated as asalitast-secretary for the last tan years, and also in Mr. Jones's office for • period of twenty years. Mr. Imrie having had no much experience io the society's affairs, under the able tutorship of Mr. Jones, the hoard feel confident that the interests of the asylum will be carefully watched over, and its prosperity advanced by that gentleman's appointment.

Gondola Fortnum and Munn a. saul an grocers and chesilatelu rim town.—LAdvertlament.] Last night the Quoen'e scholars, in conformity with a time-honoured make), performed what is so well known as the " Westminster Play." For something like three centuries it has been the custom to select one of the plays of Terence or Plautua for represeutation, and its announcement is, for the Wartmiuster scholars, one of the sure forerunnen of Christmas. For once that a play of Plautus bas bees selected one of l'ereore's has been acted fifty times, and, indeed, the Westminster Play and Terence are combined together in an almost iudissoluble nee ciation of ideas. Why Plautos is not oftener selected it would not be easy to say, as he is unquestionably more Roman than Terence, and has a broader veil of humour. On the score of immorality there is not much preference to be given to the one over the other. Perhaps the reason of the preference is that the Latinity of Terence is purer and more facile. Bet whatever be the cause it seems to be as difficult to deprive Terence of his place in Westminster School as it was in ancient times to make the God Terminus yield his fixity of tenure. Of the six plays of Terence which Lave come down to us. four only receive the honours of repreaentet.ou at West minster School. The Pimento was the play this year. As classical scholars well know, the Roman writers were in ao department of literature so inferior to Vie ii.r.oks as in the dramatic. it may be said that all their playa are adapts. tions, if not actual transcripts, from Greek sources, and although, unhappily owing to the less of the writings of the dramatists of the "now comedy," we are not able to judge of the copies by a comparisoo with the originals, it may be safely asserted, that like all imita tions, they are inferior to the models from which they worked. The Phormiy is founded on a play of Apollodorua called the Epidioaomenon, as Titmice states in his prologue. Apollodorua, with klenander, Diphilus, sod some others, were authors in whet is called the " new comedy " style of drama, and it shows a curious revolution is literature, that whereas thousands of plays were written by the Greeks in this form, not a single one of them has descended to modern times, and our only knowledge of the "new comedy" is derived from the plays of Plautus and Tereuce. The main plot of the Pliorni, is covicentrated around a maiden—Phanium, the daughter of Coremes, by a clan• destine marriage at Lemnos, behaving also a wife at Athens. This daughter he intended to marry to his nephew Antipho, and for this purpose and other business ho went to Lemnos. But Phaaitun and her mother meantime Came to Athens, where they inquired for Stllpho, the fame Dann which Chreir.es amumed in Lemnos ; and, beteg un►ble to fled him, the mother died of grief and want. Antipho, having seen Phanium whilst attending her mother's funeral, falls desperately in love with her, and as his improper proposals are indignantly rejected, he obtains her in marriage by the aid of PhorM.o, who, with the connivance of Antipho himself, invokes against hint the law of Athens which required t►e male next-of-kin either so marry a free born maiden or to provide her with a dowry. Neither Phormio nor Autipho were aware at the ' time of the relationship in which Plianium stood to the latter, but fortune decided the fate of the two lo►ers as their respective parents, Chremes and Dernipho, intsoded. the play has been imitated by SI oliire in the Fourfcrin de &apin with such signal want of successes to c,ll down upon him the edge of Boileau'a satire. If we mistake net, an adaptation of the play has also been made by the Ron Canon Oakley. of St • Johu's, Islington, for a charitable per. pose, uoder the title of That Rogue River. The Phorrnio belongs to that section of the two fold classification into which the classical plan are divided, which is called the stoeoria, or the lively. Compared with some of the other Terentian playa, them is no doubt a great deal of motion sod bustle in the Phormio, but we have never assisted at a performance of clue of these plays in which the "sedentary" characterinie was not promisent as compared with the modern drama. There is mot wanting a comic element in some of the 'Ami ties, and in the dialogue, but as oumpared with a good modern comedy, there is a Indiana and absence of life and variety in the classic plays which we can only account for by the supposition that the antique society was a very slow and formal business Milted as compared with modern life. As usual, theold dormitory was turnol into a temporary theatre, and the " old " and "young Westminsiters," the bead master, and other masters, were in their usual places. The visitors, male and female, were numerous, but the theatre was not co crowded as no doubt it will be to- morrow, when the wooed performance hakes plaint The following is the cast this year; Pbormio Gets Demlpho Autiplw D.wiu C.

The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway COM peoy have resolved to issue a circular to their ehareboldens to correct some misconceptions which they believe to be current, and which could not otherwise be answered until the meeting at the end of February. In this they state— lst. That the 32,000 shares coostitutiog the third prefer coos capital, beariog 6 per cent., have, with the exemption of 1,640 shares, been surrendered to the company by the holders for conversion into ordinary stock, sod that arrange ments have been made for the surrender of these remaining shares also. The position of the ordinary capital will thus be improved by the removal of a prior charge u( 48 000/. per en uum. 2. That by means of the capital authorised last session for the general undertskisg, Metropolitan Ritmo. emu, sod City Junction Line, the amount due on aoknow ledgments of debt called " Lloyd's Bondi," issued pending the placing of that aipitxl, has beet reduced to 115,9364, for the payment of which at maturity provision has already beset made. 3.

It is further ineotioned that it is intended the Metropolitan Exteosion lines shall be opened for traffic across the river to the Ludgathhill station 00 the 20th iost, when the company's through and suburban traffic will, for the first time, be admitted to a city station. Finally. with reference to the represen. tation that the recent traffic receipts on the Metropolitan Extensions have been discouraging, the board express an no;nion that it is without any foundation, and that any calculations formed on the basis of entangle returns mast be fallacious, since the Mlitropolitan &termini.s were designed to conduct traffic between the Gm*, Northeru, Great Western, sad Metropolitan Railways, the South of Louilne, the Kest Coot. the !South of E gland, and the Contitieet, mid until the Mat most important link in this chain of communication is completed none of it can be brought upon the linos of the company.
