It was u s evideut error iu uainsgersest to perform this piece ! . ,efore a work of such dimesaisse as :dr. Hattoa's sew opera, This was obvious even from looking at the lulls, and was shown by the result. It was post nine o'clock when the operetta terminated, and the cuttsin rose for the opera. The introductory chorus begun without the overture. Loud cries for the overture leer from all parts of the house. They ware disregarded for a time, but waxed so imperative, and were accomp►nied by 1111th Warkl of displeasure, that it was found necessary to drop the curtain and play the overture no improperly passed over. The subsequent performance of the opera was hurried Dour in a most reprehensible manner. The first verses only at the awe were sung, and everything was left out that could by any means be dispensed with. We are sorry for all this, as we wish well to the theatre. But if the parties ooscerned hope for SUOMI, they must bestow more thought sad care upon their management. MR. °LAURIER'S TWISTY-THIRD BAL LOON ASCENT FOR SCIRNTIFIO PURPOSES. In the course of a letter describing his late went, Mr. Glaiaber observes : " For en altitude of 20 digs. all round there was mitt, the remainder of the sky was for the most part clear. On ex. canning the sun with a spectroscope on the earth the colours of the spectrum were moderately bright, the line B, at the red end, sod G, at the violet end, were the extreme limits, and there were not many besides the principal lines between ; the wind was nearly west neer the earth. On reaching 1,100 feet we entered • S.W. current, and thought werbonld roes the river Thames north of Erith, but on paring above 2,000 feet we entered a W.X. W. current, and passed at 3h. sore little distance south of Erith. We were over Dartford at 3b. 16m., and here we saw the smoke from G revered pass. trig S.W. and S.S.W. till it reached 1,000 feet, and then to run back upon itself. At this time,at the height of 5,000 feet, we were moving W.N. W., or towards Cobham Park. At 3h. 24m. we were south of Greenhithe, and nearly over Direst Wood. On examining the country it bad an appearance we had never seen before. At the height of a mile up to this time all hills have been dwarfed to level plains and all valleys have been raised, so that the earth hu appeared uniformly plain. On the contrary, now, every variation of near, every hollow, every rise, were clearly shown ; the course of the river Darent was traced for miles with every elevation of land near is, but we could not see anything inuring on the earth. The sun wee shining, the sky was perfectly clear and of a deep blue. On examining the sun's spectrum here, it was indeed different from below, the colours were all far brighter, the lines extending from A at the red end to far beyond H at the violet end, which line was made up of fine lines. The spectrum was very hoe. The sun was warm, bat yet did not exercise any influence on she thermometer, upon the blackened bulb of which it shone brightly. At 31i. 46m. there was a sudden chill to rose ; the wind was still W.N.W., and Mr. CoxweU (who watched the direction and motion of smoke, the angle we made with known roads on pasting them), with Vent judgment kept within its influence, en as to drive us inland, for he re marked if we sank to the lower current to the sea we must go. At 3.b. 55m. we heard a clock strike four ; we were then • little south of Nursled. and Mr. Coxwell, pointing to Rochester, said " Ws shall par Woldhani, the piece where 1 was hero." At 40. we were arab of Gravesend. at 4h. 17m. we crowed the Medway, then over Woldham, changed direction to nearly SW., sod were en the wooed at 4h. 25m. at Deine farm, near Rochester, sad rewired assiranos from Mr. Matson, whose farm joined that on which we fell, for which we beg to thank him. The inhabitants at Gravesend and Rochester were greatly puzzled at our moving in a direction directly oppo its to that of the wind, where they were, and some thought we had a power of guiding the kallom, "Duriag this mart we hunU the river Thames all the way down. Mr. Corers!" felt that he dared not ascend higher than one mile, on account of theirs, of gar we should have experienced io so doing, till we could pass Gravesend ; and when we did so it was too dark. At 41t. fam., at my last observation, it was very difficult to read the instru ments., and it was then no use to amend higher or to re main longer from the earth. " The balloon was aeon from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, at 2h. 40m. when 1,000 feet high. It was watched by Mr. Nash till 3b. Bm. ; and up to this time be noticed that the balloon mo►ed one half Toned between 2h. 45m. and 3h., and then back again in the contrary di rection ; and at 3h. Bm. he could read the word " Mars " on the balloon distinctly with a telescope. Simultaneous me teorological observations were made at the Royal Observa tory, Oreenwicb, by command of the Aatronomer•Royal under the superintendence of Mr. Noah, and also at my re sidence by Messrs. Gair and Rowe." BURsTING OF A RESERVOIR IN CUMBERLAND.-- Can Wednesday last a catastrophe occurred at the seaport of Harrington, Cumberland, similar in some respects to that which spread such devastation around Sheffield in the early part of this year, though upon a much smaller scale, and fortunately unattended with any loss of life. About sieves o'clock on that day a reservoir, three acres in extent, situated at a short distance from Harrington, ourst, and deluged the main street with a wide stream described as some four or five feet in depth, which rushed down the street with a loud roar, the main body of water bully emptying itself into the harbour. The reservoir was one recently constructed to supply the new ironworks of Medina Bain, Blair, end Patterson. It was coostructed in a valley, the adjacent hills forming two sides, and the low end bei shut in by an embankment a b ou t 300 f eet i n length and 20 feet high. This bank was five feet thick at the top, and it gradually spread out towards the hue, sloping on either side. The sides were formed of battered earth and clay. a uctioa of clay puddle being placed in the middle. It is about ten months since the 000atruction of this reservoir commenced, sad it was almost completed when the catastrophe occurred on Wednesday. The recent heavy reins had filled it, and the bye-fall which carries the over flow into a beck and so into the harbour proved inadequate to carry off the surplus water, which flowed over the side of the embankment, and, it is conjectured, washed away the earth on the outer side, and so gradually diminished i.e thickness of the embankment at one plea until it was Una bide of resisting the pressure from within, and finally the water born through, making a chasm some 10 feet wide. One of the members of the farm (Mr. Patterson) was stand ing on the embankment when the disaster occurred, and just saved himself by a well-timed leap. A man who had ben employed at the dam, se soon u he saw the danger that was impending, ran down to the town to give the alarm. At this time the pupils of the National School were breakiog up for dinner and coming into the streets. They were at once hurried into cottages, when they would beout of harm's way. In • few minutes after the catastrophe oc curred. The torrent came rolling along in high waves of four or five feet in height down the main street, inundat ing houses along its line of route, and sweeping off all movables that came in its way. It is stated that the stream occupied several minutes in passing. Fortunately no one was injured, all the damage duo being confined to pro. by the l ' o ur oll Y ; and om a ;ittle r i: l i:iy w w er h e o had ried eoug fo L refu ge soe d a is t ta tre e bddre had a narrow escape from being drowned. A large quantity of furniture was destroyed in the houses inundated, the water running into the cellars and forcing its way up through the ceiling ; the parapet of a bridge was washed down ; two brewiop were spoiled is a brewery ; deep holes were made in the main street, and the foundations of a railway bridge were injured. CANTERBURY WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTI ITTE —On Thursday there was • large meeting, comprising • considerable number of working men, at the Music Hall, to celebrate the opening of the new premises for the use of this society, which we recently described as in counts of adaptation for club purpous. It appeera that the ea penes el' purchasing and adapting the building, amounting to 600/., his been met by • loan on the part of two gentlemen, at 5 per ant. ; the cod of furnishing, &c., by donations, amounting to 2001., in addition to honorary subscriptions, amounting to 'W. pee annum, and ordinary members' sub briPtinini. yielding V.I. per annum—le that, in a pecuniary point of view, the newly-formed society may be considered to have a more than commonly good prospect.

The plaintiff had formerly been in badness at Haiti and in consequence of becoming security for his sou had been obliged to peas through the Bankruptcy Court. A firm named Jansen and Nicholson, oil and colour merchants, sued the plaintiff for goods which he had ordered for hie sou, and the plaintiff seat the writ to the defendant with • statement of his actual position, end that he had pealed through she Bankruptcy Oeurt, and requested him to attend to the matter, and not incur much costa. There was no plea of bankruptcy to the declaration of Jansen and C 0.., and the result was that they recovered V.l. 14a. for debt and costa. It appeared that at the laid spring assizes at Lewes Muse recovered from the Gas Company at Hastings 168/. for Militias he had sustained, and from that sum Hilton deducted the 32/. 14e. and his own mute in the action and for ether business. The plaintiff deposed that on several occasions he instructed the defend sot to plead hie bankruptcy, and thus save him costa, trouble, and annoyance ; while the defendant Bilton stated that he was instructed not to plead bankruptcy, but to allow the action to be tried ou its merit. ; end he denied that he had told the plaintiff he would take upon himself the whole of the responsibility.

She left property to the amount of about 2,3001. She had no relations whatever. except the defendant. For the plaintiffs it was contended that after making the former will she had taken umbrage at the interference of Dr. Collins Robinson (who was physician at Cheltenham), and had made the instrument in question. By it she made the following bequests-9001. to Dr. Robinson ; 3001. to Mary Bartlett, tier nurse ,• 3001. to Mr. Henalip, her medical attendant (which was, however, to include his bill); 3001. to an old friend named Pater Owens ; 1004 to Mrs. Bolton, another friend, and the residue, after defraying all charges against the estate, to Mr. Layton, the attorney who had been called in to draw up the document.

A young Italian. who had a large monkey attached to a chain, was charged with begging. He had been seen to send his monkey up to the wi nd ows of houses, and then ask for penes. Ali.

The prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude in March, 1862, but was liberated with a tieket.a.leave in September last. Since then he had been leading a dissolute life, and wee con stantly in the society of thieves and other bad characters. Moreover, he bad bees seen drunk in the street at least thirty times.

DREADFUL MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, NEAR SOUTHAMPTON. At Shirley Common, about two milew from South ampton, a young married couple, warned Colborne, resided. The husband is a journeyman painter ; he bad been married about nice mouths, and he and his wife were living most happily. The wife, it appears, had lived as lady's maid at • Mi.* Geary's, Dem Alreaferd, and her feiloweervant, the butler there, was • man named Broomfield. On Saturday Broon,field came to Shirley Common, and called on the Col borne', to see biaformer felloweervant. He was invited to stay, but they could not give him sleeping accommodation, and he engaged • bed at • public-hour • few doors off. At about 9 o'clock on Saturday night Colboroe went out to fetch the supper beer at the public-house, and left his wife preparing the supper and Broomfield with her. When he returned he found to his horror that his wife had been shot dead by Broomfield, and that the latter had attempted to commit suicide. A woman, it appears, wh lived next door to Colburoe, heard the report of firearms; and had entered the house and taken the pistol from Broom field's hand after he had shot himself end Mrs. Colborne. A number of persons woo entered the brae with medical resistance, but the poor woman was quite dead, and the murderer was ordered to be conveyed to the Southampton infirmary, where he lir at the point of death. He shot hie victim and himself in the breast. He was asked why he committed the dreadful deed, and he stated that it was from love. No one, he said, knew what he had suffered daring the last nine months.

Blair Athol first, and Lord (nano, second with on par ticular meutioo was made of at the time, General Peel, was • stroke of fortune far exceedieg my expectations, and reads quite encouraging just now, when it is so easy to discover superiority in one or two of the public performers of the past season, and there is no Union Jack or Fills de rAir to put to shame the Derby crack; During the 282 days, however, over which the " sewn " extended. we witnessed the advent of many good horses that are in neither the Derby nor the Oaks, one half of the juveniles that ran not being engaged in these events. They have been so industrious that sortie 600 nn in England alone, a couple performing In the very Am nos of the season--the Trial Stakes at Chelmsford ; and on in the absolute Iset—a match at the Warwick Heat. Chelmsford, commencing on the 17th of February, had its mule: 2-yr old new that was contested by • very moderato lot, Thor being the only one that looked of any account, sad he was placed to Attention, who ran almost " tit," sari, se it was. The Lincoln lot contesting the Brockleaby was more respectable ; Vision, Blackbird, and La Michaele supplying the first three, and Vision the winner. This filly scarcrely sustained her reputation throughont the anew, being eclipsed at last by Grappler, Catalogue, and Brows Bread, who—all "backward"—wen among the upplaced ; but the best of them did sot finish the year better than IA Michante, who, in her last encounter, gave Catalogue B#lb. and ran her to a head in a match. At Husgerford the useful Fume Chat beat an inferior led; and the Not tingham two-year-old race was merely the Lincoln one over again, the difference being that a novelty on Vision's back brought Blackbird and La Michaele closer to her, the latter taking second place instead of third. The Tyro at Liverpool, that was reordered so illustrious la 1860 by its bringing out such • trio as Lady Odd's, Big Bee, and Dundee, and could boast next year of • Neptune' in the field, had nothing better than East Lynn among the runners on this °natio; and be was not sulhcieotly trained to do more than run • dead heat with the (award Club Queen, wham be could now give many pounds to; aed be so improved in the course of a week as to run a close race with Money Sinner, when carrying a 71b. ~ penalty, for the Hopeful at Doecaster, where he was be ! fore thirteen others, melodies Blackbird, Catalogue, Zonave Junior, King Arthur, Spring Gun, Friday, and Nothing More. It was far too early in the year, however, for most of these; and, with the exception of Blackbird, they showed a capability of beating East Lynn at even weights before they were done with. At Warwick, Vision was still better than Grappler, Jezebel, a stable companion of Furze Chat, gaining a character by " splitting" the pair, as there were Attention (her only public awes/awe after Chelmsford), Sympathy, Cedric, Hops, and Bosais Lam behind the trio, in addition to Jack Ketch, who had • week before woo a tittle nos at Shrewsbury, thanks to the moderate lot be I met. At Durban], Club Queen sad East Lynn again finished very close together, but without either win*, Kiog Arthur having easily beaten them both, besides Nothing More and two others, and as his Majesty next day defeated War Whoop, Catalogue, Sweet Jessie (giving them all 81b), and others just as easily, it was generally understood he ought to have woe at Doncaster, and that the reaping there for the Hopeful was "all wrong." Still there was no Derby form about his doings, and J. Osborne made • capital bargain when he let him go for 2,5004 ; set he still further improved upon the "deal" by tan" the horse back—just for old acquaintance sake—foe 550 guineas when MD late Duke of Cleveland's stud was sold off, for it is certain the horse was sot himself while out of his pos session, and he may some day wove worth nearly all the mosey he originally fetched. With Jezebel among the =- placed for the Whittlebury at Northampton, miners( two stone and a half from • couple of the three-year-olds that supplied the first three, the beet performers at the illegitimate spring minim had little to boast of, and it was very easy for the rich Altborp Park Stakes to bring forward • superior class of hones then had been seen pre viously.

A French filly called Brioche roan • respectable data at the meeting for a small stake, and she join managed to beat Lady Egidia, • sister to Laid, who ran very stoutly but was overmatched for speed- Catena Bndge gave Wild Awes the tint opportunity of daninguishing herself, which she did by beating Um good-looking but untrained Ss. Mag nus, with Solewiod and another, very cleverly ; and the next Yorkshire meeting, at Think, gave us the hint about another first-claas two-year-old called Oppressor, who had • deal todo with Wild Agnes afterwards, and beat Brown Bread, Sweet Jamie (not in trim), and Club Queen so cleverly as to show himself • bird of great promise, if the performance was not quite so decisive as that of Punter', who at Northampton beat Brown Bread lengths further I than he did. But he was not half so fit as the southern trained hones,. and Brows Bread, besides, was improving daily. At Epsom Spring Puritan was eclipmd by tiardevisure, who beat Tennyson with fee greaser ease than he did at Northampton, and in disposing of Money Spinner at the same time, took all the prestige away from the Liverpool, Downier, and Durham performer; for this filly was, with the useful Ethan among the unplaced. dbrapoell was • better fourth than at Northampton, being within • head of Gootran who, however, like most of the French 2.yr olds, wanted • greater scope of ground. This he got on the second day, when he ran again in a field of twelve, but was unfortunate in being the last off, and disappointed in an endeavour to make up the lost ground by not getting the turn as he desired. Had he got well away he must have won, as Lomond; who beat him • head for second place, was bound, through Tennyson, to finish three lengths behind him, and she was only beaten a head from the winner, Friday, who, vastly Unproved sines Doe caster, exhibited we good quality when he enualed home so gamely.

After Term Sittiop at Nisi Prins at Westminster.—(Betore Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jary.) BLAKE r. BTIPBIIIIS AID °TESSA This was an action for libel. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Lush. Q.C., and Mr. H. Jamul were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Rew were counsel for the defendants. stating the plaintiff's ma*, said he was a solicitor who had been in practice upwards of forty years in the neighbourhood of London, and be complained of a libel published by the defendants in a legal work, " The lA, relating to Attorneys." It appeared that a few years since an applicator. was made to this court to strike the plaintiff off the rolls for certain improper dealing with kis client's money, but the court, after investigating the circumstances, declined to indict so severe a sentence. but directed that he should be suspended for two years. That period bad ex pired, and the plaintiff wee again in practice. The ease was duly reported in the 30 Law Journal, Q. 8., N.S. The learned counsel (Serjeant Pullen) who compiled the book had taken an erroneous view of the case, and that was what was the subject matter of complaint. The book com mences with laying down this general proposition of law, which be (Mr. Lush) did not for a moment dispute—" Il so atone; or solicitor be guilty of a criminal offence, or other gross misconduct, the court of which he is an officer will interfere, with a view to determine whether the misconduct his disqualified him from any longer continuing as such officer, and on a gross ease being proved, will peremptorily order the name of a defaulter to be struck off the rolls, and this mummery jurisdiction will be exeraiiisel in • clear mss, whether the offence was committed when meting In a pro fessional capacity or not." Theo there is a tote of rotenone (see Re Blake, 30 Law Joureal, Q. 8., N.S.) The Lord Chief Justice—With the exception of the re ference, the passage just quoted is taken from a most admi• rable and excellent book, "Lush's Practice." (Lamghter.) Mr. Lush—l did not know at the time I was paying myself so high a compliment. The second part to which there was most cause of complaint was as follows:—" For the power to remove from the rolls the tame of an attorney who has miMooduoted himself is simply the power of the court over one of its officers shown to be no logger worthy to be Muted." And then there was a note of reference (see Be Blake, 30 Law Journal, Q. 8., N.&) The Lord Chief Justice—lt is a mistake, certainly, com mitted by the learned author, in Mating that the plaintiff wee struck off the rolls. The first quotstioa was certai nlyPri k v i ii rTu d ;h said he felt that. Evidence was then given for the plaintiff of the publios tioo end sale of the work. `The plaintiff was also examined, and be was cross examined with a view to show that there were other Blake' ia the profession, and that all referee°, made to the identifica tion of the pence in the Law Journal report win Francis Blake ; but he was unable to say that be knew any other Blake except from the " Law List." Mr. Lush having replied, Mr. Bovill addressed the jury for the defendants, urging that everything was tree in Mr. Blake's oast% and his having been found guilty of fraud by the court, but the only ml. take was striking him off the rolls. The learned counsel urged there was no malice. Mr. Lush said he did not sharp mall" exempt legal malice—that it was not a fel! statemeet of the met. Mr. &will farther contended there was no express malice, cod that the puMicatioe was hcca Wet The Lord Chief Justice said yes; but wb the conse quences were injurious to another, oould it be said the party had made a fair rispreeenterion of the facts, what by mis take there was a lamentable mistake in one of the main facts of the owe Mr. Bovill appealed to the jury whether the statement had been proved to have reference to the plaintiff? The Lord Chief Justice said he thought it had. Mr. Sarin said, that being so when the reader referred to the Law Journal the sting of the libel, if it was a libel at all, which he doubted, was taken out of it, beamss in the report in the Lam Journal Mr. Blake wag sutheaded, and not struck off the rolls. The plaintiff was coevicted by the court of a gross fraud on • poor farm hula?, and the court in its mercy ordered that he should not be struck off the rolls, but suspended him for two years. The learned author, speaking of the power of the court to strike an attorney off the rolls, said the plaintiff wee struck off, instead of that be might have bees struck off. He milled upon' them to mark their genes of this mistake by giving very small damages. Since the action had been brought the error had been corrected. The Lord Chief Justice mid it was very unfortunate that this action bad ever bath brought, and still MOM so that it should have been resisted, as it bad been. A serious mis. take had been made by the learned author in the passage on which the plaintiff mainly relied, and alas, they were all —the most careful andguarded—lialge to mistakes, sad th is was a mistake which might hays been dealt with in a diffe rent spirit by the plaintiff, by his asking before be brought his action for a correetion of the objectionable pariate. The defendants were u wroug . as the plaintiff, if net more so, foe instead of at ono. apologiuog and correcting the mistake in the best way they could and cancelling the sheet they had come into mirk feeling they bad • "raw " they could work, and had iostructed their counsel to do all he could to wound and humiliate the plaintiff by the stinging observe. Cons be had made. It was not • coarse for persons to pur sue who were in the wrong, and their conduct should be taken into consideration by the jury io estimatiog the damages. It would hay* been far better if the defendants bad made an apology to the plaintiff instead of setting him at defiance. It was not bemuse a man had once in his life committed an improper act that he should be trampled in the dust. The 101 Y jury returned a verchet for the plaintiff —damages, . The court pre the defendaote leave to am generally on the points of law raised during the trial. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dmo. 3. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Midilleses.—(Before Yr. Judos - Willie and a Common Jury.) CASTLE NOHRINGTON- ammo TRANHACTIONI. This was an action to recover 2.51., which was maid to be due in respect of certain betting trained:thus. Both parties were tradesmen in the neighbourhood of Chelsea, and the plaintiff had employed the defendant to make bets for him upon bumming. In reference to the last Goodwood races, he gave the defendant 31. to take the odds against Blondin for the Goodwood Stakes, and spinet Dollar for the Cup. The defendant obtained from a pergola named Butcher 161. to 11. spinet Blondin and 61. to 21. against Dollar, sod told the plaintiff so. The plaintiff won both beta, and his case was, that when he applied to the defendant for the money, the only answer he got was " I do not mean to pay you, I have been dou myself, and am you can't get any law to serous the payment of beta, I mean to stick to the money." This statement wee made in the presence of two peewee, who with the plaintiff were ex amined to prove the tact; and also that Butcher had paid the defendant 221., which, with the plaintiff's own Y., made 25/. in all. . For the defence it was attempted to be shown that thebets were made by the defendant on lus own account, and that the 31. he had received from the plaintiff had been paid upon soother transaction.

Not navy orders were gives out for cloth to make, either yesterday or this morning. Still the market shows • decided improvement in all de pute:mute, whether for yarn or cloth, on Tuesday. Inds improvement is cotton can hardly be credited with this change 'stalely. because, though cotton is firmer, the prices at the close of the week show • decline of led. to 2d. per lb. as compared with lut Saturday, and probably the ad vice@ from India and the fact that people are beginning to discount the news of probable pesos is America more nearly at the true value have more to do with the better feeling is that market than anything else.

The principal exceptiou to this is the edge-tool trade, which has been very active for many mooths. The tin-plate workers and hollow-ware manufac- turers are also doing a steady trade ; and for light steel toy wares the orders have rather increased of late. The rolling mills are well engaged, and there is a steady demand for ma terial. In the button trade these r no animation whatever, and in the gun trade there are many thou sands of muskets in sloes foe which there is aow no market, however low the price.
