The draft of the address of the Upper House of the Reichsrath is chiefly • paraphrase of the speech from the throne. It points out that a re trograde step in the matter of the compromise with Hungary is impossible without placing restrictions upon the liberty of the people. In the arrange ments already effected with Hungary the Upper House of the Reicherath sees the starting point for the settlement of the constitutional question. It does not conceal its anxiety with reference to the state rights of the monarchy, but recognises at the same time the urgency of the existing circum stances. The draft further declares that the co operation of the Upper House in the arrangement with Hungary cannot be dispensed with. It also proclaims that the peoples of Austria ardently de sire an honourable and lasting peace, and concludes by expressing the conviction that it is necessary that the government should ally itself with the creative and at the same time preservative ideas of the present age.

All Poles in terned in Russia will be allowed to return to their homes, if the officials of the locality where they may have been interned give a good report of their behaviour. Polish priests will receive permission to return to their homes from the Governor of Poland, and natives of the western provinces who may have been banished from their homes by order of the administration will receive permission to remove to Poland upon obtaining testimony of their good conduct. All Polish priests are to be subject to the Governor of Poland as well as to their bishops. FRANCE. PARTS, Jun 2. The Mouitew of this morning publishes the text of the Luxemburg treaty, which in no way differs from the details already known. The same paper also gives an account of the reception given to the Czar on his arrival in Paris, and confirms the circumstance that along the whole line of route the Czar and the Emperor Napoleon were received by the people in the most enthusiastic manner.

Alexander IL, Emperor of all the Ruasiss, made his entry into Paris in the afternoon of this let of June under a beautiful summer sky, and the ther mometer marking a very high temperature. The Emperor Napoleon, who went to the Northern Railway station to meet his august guest, arrived there at 4.20, and at 4.25 the special train, bearing the Czar and his suite, came in. His French Ma jesty was accompanied by the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Baron de Talleyrand, the French ambassador to the court of St. Pe tersburg, now in Paris on leave of absence ; Marshal Canrobert, and Marshal Regnault St. Jean d'Angely. The Northern Railway Company had made preparations for the reception on a grand scale. Fully 2,000 persons, including ministers, marshals of France, great officers of State, senators, deputies, &c., were accom modated with seats on an estrade within the builck ing. A splendidly furnished room was provided for the first interview between the two sovereigns. They remained together there about a quarter of an hour. An immense crow d was collected out side, consisting principally of inhabitants of the populous neighbourhood. I do not think many came from afar. Natural curiosity to see the far famed hereditary despotic lord of seventy milliens of men was the leading motive for the presence of so many people. There was very little excitement, and I should say, speaking generally, and bearing in mind the difficulty of forming an opinion on such a subject, very little political feeling of any kind. Sonic cries there certainly were of " Vive Ia Pulog,ne " and some, but few and far between of " Vive kapoleon," with an emphasis on the latter word to show that Vive l'Empereur was not cried for fear of a mistaken interpretation. From all I could hear, see, and learn, there was both here, and (with two special and petty excep tions, to be presently mentioned) all along the line of procession from the railway to the Elysece, a remarkable absence of any popular acclamations for the Czar. Perhaps the s ed ulous and by no means senseless preaching of a great many news papers that a royal visit of a few days does not alter international relations, and that respectful deference and not enthusiasm will satisfy all the duties of hospitality required for the occasion, may have had some effect upon the public mind; perhaps there may be in some quarters a yet fresh remembrance of the Crimean war, for which however the present Czar was in no way responsible, and to which he did his best to put an end ; perhaps the tradition that this Czar's ancestor was an unwelcome visitor to Paris in the last days of the first empire may yet rankle in some minds ; and there are certainly many who are deterred by a sentimental sympathy for poor crushed Poland, which will certainly never be re suscitated by France, from giving a hearty welcome to the Sovereign who has quite recently done his utmost to extinguish the last smouldering embers of Polish nationality. But the fact is the French— unless when excited to love or hate by extraordi nary circumstances—contrary to what might be thought from reading their chronicles—are a very undemonstrative people. Most of the accounts printed within the last sixteen sears of the " deli rious enthusiasm " with which the Emperor Napo leon is received everywhere in town and country are mere moonshine. The official writers stick in the cheers at proper intervals of their narrative without the slightest reference to facts. Whatever the Muniteus may say to-morrow of the attitude of the pop!dation on the occasion of the Emperor Alexander s arrival will depend entirely on the kind of representation which authority desires to make to the public, and in no degree upon the ob servation of reporters anxious only to state things as they are. I repeat that indifference was the leading feature of the recep tion to-day. A London mob will often cheer any distinguished foreigner without the least knowing why ; the French populace is more dis criminate, and, as &general rule, less easily moved. On leaving the railway station the Czar was conducted to a court carriage. The Emperor got in after him and took his seat on the Czar's left hand. The Czar's sons, the hereditary Grand Duke and his younger brother, sat opposite. It was a close carriage, with two horses. Some people expressed disappointment that it was not an open carriage with six horses, which would cer tainly have been a mole showy spectacle. The two Emperors and the two Grand Dukes all wore generals uniforms. Nine other court carriages, each with two tall footmen behind, followed with the Emperor of Russia's suite. The Cent Gerdes and a squadron of Lancers formed the escorts. Two regiments of infantry lined the approaches to the railway station. The line fol lowed to get to the Tuileries was by no means the shortest one. Several changes were made in the programme of the route, and one at the last mo ment. At one time it was intended that the Czar should go straight down the Boulevard de Stras bourg to the quays, and so on to the Tuileries. But by a recent change of nomenclature, the Boule vard de Strasbourg, after crossing the Boulevard proper, becomes the Boulevard de Sebastopol. It would have been difficult to change that name, though the proposition was for a moment under consideration, and so that line was abandoned. The Rue Lafayette to the ChausMe d'Antin was next thought of, and a great many _people thronged to those streets to-day under the belief that the Czar would pass through them. But there is an adjoining district known, though but little known, as " Little Poland," and consequently the Rue Lafayette: was given up only this morning. I The extremely roundabout route ultimately fol- I lowed was the Boulevard de Magenta, the Boulevard de Strasbourg as far as it bears that name, then the Boulevards to the Rue de la Pair, the Rue de la Pais the Place Vendome, the Rue Castiglione, the Rue Rival, and the old gate of the Louvre facing the church of St. Germain l'Auxerruis to the Tuileries. There was no great display of troops in the Carrousel and the conrtof the Tuileries—only some gendarmes, the Empress's Dragoons ' and a battalion of Voltigeurs. On the Boulevard desltaliens there were a good many cries of " Vive l'Empereur," but they were laugh- , iny responded to in the crowd by th e ques ti on , "Which Emperor I" All along the line of route a good many flags were hung around. But in the Rue de la Paix, where a great many tradesmen, aspirants for court custom, dwell, this sort of de- monstration was particularly remarkable. From the ground-floor to the fifth story, the windows were thickly studded with flags of all nations. When I saw such a variety of colours and devices, the double-headed eagle conspicuous among them, I could not help thinking of Mrs. Gamp's forcible expression, " Some people is Roossians and others is Proomians." It was, indeed, a cosmopolitan sight. In the Place VendOme the ' Emperor of Russia got his first hearty cheer. It was remembered by the landlady ;of the Hotel du Rhin that in 1848, when crown prince, he honoured her hostelry by putting up there, and accordingly she drew up a whole army of cooks, chambermaids, and waiters to give him an ovation. In the Tui leries the Czar was, I presume, presented to the Empress Eugenie. He stayed there only about three-quarters of an hour. The procession was then formed in the same order as before, with the exception that the Cent Garden remained in the Palace. The Emperor Napoleon having determined to conduct his guest to the abode prepared for him, the ElyMe, again got into the carriage by his side. The cortege passed along the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Con- ' cords, the Champs Ely Mes, and the Avenue Ida rigny, to the Klysda Palace. In the Champs Blysies the memorable sight was an extremely prettyone. The broad causeway, cleared beforehand, and watered up to the last moment, was lined on either side by two rows of elegantly-dressed people, seated on chairs. There was nothing like crowd ing, and I never saw a more " genteel " street assemblage. None of the working classes hadl taken the trouble to come there. I did not see al single blouse or artificer's jacket. The cold ness of this select audience was in keeping with its gentility. I did not hear a single cry of any kind in the Champs Elys4es, and very few people indeed took off their hats at this point of the procession. I had an excellent view of the Czar. He looks much younger than he really is. There is a certain odd stare in his eyes, but the ex pression of his face is amiable. I was struck by the extraordinary accuracy of the likeness now exhibiting in the Paris picture shops— al handsome engraving from a portrait by M. Maurin. At the Elyse there was a con-1 sideral collection of "Popes" and other Russians, who cheered the Czar heartily in his native tongue. The Russian national anthem was played frequently by military bands in the course of the afternoon. As many as 2,000 police agents in plain clothes were on duty on the line of pro , cession. To-morrow the Czar will attend divine service at the Russian church which rears its gilded turrets in the space between the Avenue Reine aurteme and the Boulevard de Courcellea. From the church he will proceed to the Long ' champs racecourse, to witness the contest for the great Paris prize. The Bourse opened with very great buoyancy. Rente ran up as high as 70.85. There was after wards a reaction, and the closing prices, 70.55 for ' cash, and 70.60 for account, showed a rise of only 20c. and 10c. Italian, after being quoted at 53.05, closed at 53.60, with a rise of 25e. ; Mobilier rose 3.75 ; Credit Foncier fell sf. There was little change in railway shares.

The charming duet, "On the banks of sweet Garonne," was of course exquisitely sung, the singers being Madame Trebelli•Bettini and Mr. Bentley, who gives importance to the small part of Schersarnin, as does Signor Gassier to the still smaller one of Babekan. These geatlesnen are notable as frequently contributing to the general efficiency of the east by rendering their valuable aid in parts beneath their powers. Madame Demeric Lablache was the Puck, and Madile. Baumeister gave the Mer maid's song with the calm expression which it especially requires. The choruses were generally well sung, with an occasional force, however, which such music will ill bear. This was particularly observable in the introdua• tion, " Light as fairy foot," and especially in the con i trait* voices. All admirers of Weber's genius should beer an opera which (from its dramatic defects) has been, and may probably again be, but sparingly and intermittently, performed. plusstc. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. After two postponements, owing to the indisposi timid Valle. Adelina Patti, Don Giovanni was performed _ . . on Friday night with that charming artist u Zerlina (which subordinate part with her becomes a prominent one)—and Signor Ootognl for the first time as Don Giovanni. It is the custom to style this work the operatic masterpiece of Mozart, but to us it is impossible dispassionately to give the preference either to it or to Figaro, since the impres sion is generally in favour of the one we have last heard— !

ROYAL CoLLEGt or Scnoeoes.—The approach ing annual election of fellows into the council of this in stitution is exciting a considerable amount of attention in r professional circles, even more so than in July last, when Mr. Charles Hawkins, the government inspector of anato mical schools, defeated Stir. James Luke, • twice elected president of the college. From • notice which appeared in I this paper of Saturday last, and has been sent round to the ' 1,300 fellows in whom the election rests, it is stated that in the ensuing month there will be three vacancies in the council caused by the retirement, in the order prescribed by the charter, of Messrs. Frederic Carpenter Skey, Thee. IWormald, and Francis Kiernan, who, however, offer themselves for re-election. Of those gentlemen, the first two named have been presidents, and held other high loffices in the College of Surgeons both are consulting surgeons to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and Mr. Skey is chairman of an important government commission now sitting. Mr. Kiernan is deservedly well known as one of the most accomplished anatomists of the day. These gentlemen, who have done good suit and service to the cons's, will not on the present occasion be allowed to walk over the course, as already, according to the Medina/Tines and Gazett, the fellows by examination, thinking the time bas arrived when their order should be represented in the council chamber, intend bringing forward Mr. Luther Holden, one of the surgeons of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, a highly popular gentleman, who, from his valu , able contributions to science, is highly esteemed. Mr. I Spencer Smith, one of the surgeons and lecturers to St. Mary's Hospital, and secretary to the government commis ion above alluded to, is another can did ate. This gentle. man retired from the contest last year, in order to secure the seat for Mr. Hawkins. Messrs. Prescott Hewett and Henry Lee, of St. George's Hospital, are also named as candidates for this important post. THE RIPRIRENTATION or NORFOLK. —At a meet ing of the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture on Saturday, the question of the future representation of the county In t came oo for discussion. Mr. C. 8. Read, o. ani tit ' s chairman, stated that he had seen the private seassiary of Mr. Disraeli, and had represented to him the hardship which Norfolk would sustain if it lost three seesabeffs, as proposed. The secretary appeared disin clined to receive a deputation on the subject—but be said it nseseed to him only just that the county should be divided into three districts. THE 'KISH REFORM BILL.—Some Irish censer relive members had an interview on Saturday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the of explain ing their views concerning the Irish form Bill. They went as a deputation from a meeting held • few days ago in the House of Commons, when there seemed to be a general concurrence of opinion against any material lower ing of the franchise, county or borough, in the sister wen try, and in favour of an extension et boundaries rather than the grouping of boroughs with other small towns. Mr. Disraeli heard all the arguments advanced in support of exceptional franchise legislation for Ireland, and, in conjunction with the chief secretary, who has charge of the bill, he promised to consider them, but he gave not the slightest indication of what were the intentions of his colleagues, beyond stating that they desired to introduce such an Irish reform measure as would prove, he trusted, I eminently satisfactory and beneficiaL --Sunday (Mudge. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. , Oberon was performed here on Saturday night, I for the first time this season, with Mdlle. Titiens and Signor Mongini in the principal characters of Reads, and Sir Huon ; and Signor Bettini (his first appearance this ; season) as Oberon. It is now fullforty years since Weber pro , duced the third and last of his great romantic operas, and died among us immediately after fulfilling his contract with Mr. Charles Kemble, by superintending the prelimi nary rehearsals of his work, and seeing it in course of suc cessful performance at Covent-garden Theatre. The sue ors, however great at first, rapidly declined, and some of the most imaginative stage music ever composed soon fell almost into theatrical disuse. The fact is that, charm. ing as the music of Oberon is, the opera, as a whole, wants I stage interest. The characters have no life or indivi duality, and the few incidents there are come about with so much of the crude suddenness of pantomimic changes, that neither human sympathy nor the interest of suspense is excited ; yet the origi- I kid book of Mr. Planche contains some of the most graceful writing that was ever produced specially for the purposes of stage music. The lengthening out of the opera by turning the dialogue into accompanied red. tative (cleverly as this has been done by Mr. Benedict) impedes the little action that there is ; but this change is an inevitable condition of the Italian opera stage. The interpolation, however, of pieces from Eurpenthe is by , no means essential ; and the duet " Hin nimm die made! meine"(" 0 min bell'anima"), given to Sir Ikon and Reda! in the second act, and the finale from the same opera, " Jubeltime" (" Alziam"), placed at the end of Oberon, fine as they are, are here out of place, and nnneces eerily prolong an opera which in representation I. already too long. Mdlle. Titiens' performance as Retie is too well known to need fresh eulogy—her fine declamatory singing throughout, and especially in the great and trying scene, "Ocean, thou mighty monster " 1 (with its merciless demands on the higher notes, B and C), is such as scarcely any other living artist can approach in music of this character. Signor Mongini is heard to ad vantage in the music of Sir Huon, although his bearing is scarcely chivalrous enough for the part. The great scene, " 0, 'tie a glorious sight " (written especially for Bmham in lieu of the eoena originally provided), was given with ' declamatory energy and facile use of those high chest notes of which Signor Mongini has such exceptional cam ' mend. The prayer, " Ruler of this awful hour," was delivered with so much expression as nearly to pro cure an encore. Signor Bettini (who, as already stated, appeared for the first time this season) gave unusual im• portance to the part of Oberon, rendered additionally pro minent by the assignment to him of the scene originally intended for Sir Him, and rejected by Braham—• finer composition than the later one. The difficult declamatory passages. runs and roulades, reaching to the high B in the chest voice, were given by Signor Bettini with a force and brilliancy that produced one of the principal effects of the evening. Scarcely even by Madame Alboni has the music of Fatima been more charmingly sung than by Madame Trebelliffiettini, whom, sympathetic quality of voice and excellent style are alike admirable. To this lady were awarded the two emerge of the evening ; the plaintive REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT MANCHESTER. The united reform demonstration at Manchester on Saturday evening attracted an immense concourse of people to witness it. The weather was exceedingly fine. The demonstration was composed mainly of deputations from London, Birmingham, Dublin, Liverpool, Leeds, Brighton, and other towns, for whom carriages had been provided ; the members of the National Reform Union at Manchester ; the trades of Manchester, and members of the National Be form League at Manchester, and from some of the neigh bouring towns. The members of the National Reform Union assembled in Albert-square, and left it in procession at half-put three to four o'clock, headed by the executive and deputies from distant towns in a line of 58 carriages, and was followed by the procession of trades and the branches of the National Reform League who had assembled in Stevenson-square, at four o'clock. The route taken was through Piccadilly, Market-street, BLickfrianeetreet, Chapel.street, Bridge-street, John Dalton-street, Oxford-road, and Stretford-road, to a field near Brooks's Bar, in Maim*. The length of the route would be nearly three miles, and the rear of the procession did not reach its destination till about 25 minutes put 7 o'clock. Meet of the people in the procession were well dreamed, and, walking four and six abreast, marched with great regularity. At intervals in the procession were about 25 bands, and the 'flags and banners were nun.erousbeyond precedent. The procession occupied an hour and five minutes in peeing a given point, and in the portion of it which occupied the first 23 minutes in passing were counted considerably over 200 flags. Many of them were very handsome silk banners of great size, belonging to trade societies. Following the carriages came, among other bodies, a contingent of reformers from Padiham, who displayed a banner with an inscription that in and sheet the township there is a population el Itikeß without a representativeus parliament. The reformers of Denton, following were coinposed principally of hatters, each wearing a white bat. The trades process i on included members of the societies of iron moulders, boiler makers, machine workers, amalgamated engineers, roller makers, iron dressers, planers, gnnders,wbitesmiths, bur finishers, masons, painters, plasterers, carpenters, y ainen, cabinet makers, tailors, coopers, corkeatters, saddler, bleachers, cottoteeptanen, glass-cutters and blowers, boot and shoe makers,bookbinders, and bakers.. Amongst rheoontiagentsof reformers from neighbouring towns there was • very numerous one from Rochdale. A careful estimate of the numbers placed the total of people in the procession at about 10,000. Fully that number of people preceded the procession to the place of meeting, and the numbers as ambled in the streets along the whole line of route, partly from sympathy and partly fr o m cu ri os ity, wou ld also amount to many theme/ads. Upon the ground ap pointed for the meeting were erected six platforms, with a complement of speakers to move and second resolutions at each. At one of the platforms Mr. Jacob Bright pre sided, and, after he had briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. Beaks moved, and the Rev. Richard Williams seconded, the following resolution :—" This meeting con gratulates the liberal party upon the success which hes attended its efforts, as proved by the concessions from the hereditary opponent. of progress, and wl M upon all sections of reformers to eontinue their exer tions in order to complete the work them auspiciously begun." The second resolution, moved by Mr. M..w, and seconded by the Rev. J. Boxer, was This meet ing, whilst acknowledging the eessiderable progress which has been made in the extension of the borough franchise, meets the obnoxious restrictions which remain, and con siders the inequality yet existing between the county and borough franchise as most unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the great bulk of the operative classes in counties will still be excluded from all representation in parliament ; and this meting strongly urges the necessity of continued and deter mined effort in order to obtain-Ist, the ballot, to secure freedom of voting ; 2nd, shorter parliaments, to afford an opportunity for the more frequent expression of opinion ; and 3rd, the entire revision of the present absurd and un just distribution of political power, by the equitable allotment of representatives in proportion to property and population." Mr. Radford moved, and the Rev. J. Free stone seconded, the third resolution:—" This meeting hereby expresses its deep gratitude to John Bright, M.P., for his life-long devotion—under every species of misrepresentation and abuse —to the cause of the people ; also to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, John Stuart Mill, the O'Donoghue, end other members of parliament and friends of reform who have so nobly and effectively advocated the just claims of the unenfrsnchised." The fourth and last resolution was moved by Mr. J. R. Cooper, and seconded by Mr. W. Hagan :—" This meeting rampages with pleasure the ca. operation and assistance which the reform cause has re ceived from trade and friendly societies, and hopes that the success of that cause will lend to • just state of the law with regard to the legal status of those societies, end a correct appreciation of their objects." Amongst the chairmen and speakers at other platforms were Mr. George Wilson, Mr. It. D. Burden, Mr. Edmund Ashworth, of Rochdale, Mr. Councillor Murray, Mr. Ernest Jones, the Rev. Dr. Parker, and Mr. Elijah Dixon. All the resolu tions were unanimously carried by the audiences attached to the various platforms. A great portion of the people appear to have regarded the proceeding. in the light of • demonstration only, and many tbouaands moved from the ground immediately the speaking began, no doubt many of them basing been many hours without food or drink under a burning sun, and much needing refreshment. The sentimentsof the speakers are sufficiently conveyed by those expressed in the resolutions. ADMIRALTY, Jt n ca I.—SnotNTREItTs. —Corn mender IL W. Brent to the Bellerophon. Captains the Lord F. H.

ROYAL SCHOOL FOR DM:MITI:R.4 OT OFFICERS OF THE Assts.—We regret to learn from the published statement of this institution, of which the Duke of Cam bridge is president, that although it has been successful up to the present time, its progress is now arrested by the want of funds. The daughters of all officers in her Majesty's army, on full or inclusive of the Royal Marines, or who may have died in the service, are eligible at the ages of from 11l to IN. There are, at present, seventy pupils in the school, but without further donations it will be impossible. notwithstanding the many pressing applica tions, to provide accommodation for any greater number. The committee, therefore, earnestly appsid to all friends of sound education, both at home and abroad, and espe cially to all who feel for the orphan and other necessitous daughters of military officers, to come at once to their aid, by supplying the means for carrying out to its desired extent this long-needed and now happily established insti tution.

THE SVEDAY BANDS IN THE PARRS.—The Re gent's, Battersea, and Victoria-parks yesterday presented their usual summer appearance in the outumencenient of the twelfth season of the Sunday bands, the audiences being exceedingly large. A LADY FRIIIHTENED TO DEATH.—On Thursday, a lady named Unthank, who had recently taken up her residence at Hungerford for the benefit of her health, took a stroll over the dowel, where there are always a number of cows grazing. It seems that she supposed the animals were following her, and accordingly ran as fast as ahe could to get out of their way. After running for some distance she sat down on the turf, having caned a boy to her assistance, and expired immediately. Dr. Mayo was called to her, but his services were of no avail, as the fright and excessive exertion through running brought on a fit of apoplexy, which terminated fatally. The coroner for the district subsequently held an inquest on the body at the Three Swans Hotel, sad • verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned. [Advertisement.]—HoEunTAT's PILLS.

Mr. Alfred Tennyson's idyllic poem of " Dora," which is chiefly remarkable for an affectation of biblical simplicity in its story, construction, and language, has been taken as a subject for a drama by Mr. Charles Reade, pro dosed at the Adelphi on Saturday night under the manse title. Mr. Charles Reade, in many of his novels and plays, has adopted the Shakespearian plan of borrowing his ' leading idea from some existing work of fiction, and in all cases he has improved the property borrowed. J the present instance he has expanded a very indifferat but much bepraisel poem into a very excellent pastoral Amnia, which equally avoids the melodramatic absurdities of Leaf' and the dairy-fed silliness of &many Vale Fars►. Those critics:who go in for what is called analytical criticism, and who find hidden meanings in all plays from Shakes • pears to Fitabell, which the authors never dreamed of, will ' see in this simple " mafiosi " work, as it is somewhat in elegantly termed in the pla►bills, a firm protest against the sensational drama. Those who are not gifted with this rare and valuable faculty will see in flora little more than an attempt to equal the oommercial success of Leah, by an author who labours most ably and conscientiously in his study, and sells the result of his Labours like a thorough and practised tradesman. I The play throughout is carefullyacted, and the soenery,es usual, with the exception of a brook scene, is disgracefully comic. Months ago we were the first to draw attention to the scenic defects of this house, and latterly our complaints have been seconded by our contemporaries. A pastoral drama requires no great outlay upon panoramas and machinery, but it requires something more than a sunset apparently painted with a birch broom and raspberry jam, which sets the whole audience laughing in the most serious scene of the drama. If fir. Charles Reade were half as irritable and impulsive as his letters and advertisements would lead us to suppose, he must immediately have horsewhipped a stage manager in full view of the audience to satisfy his vengeance. Dorn is an honest attempt by an accomplished literary man to place a celebrated poem on tie stage, and ought to be successfuL HOLBORN LTRE. The first morning performance of the season was given et this house on Saturday morning with complete moms, the programme being judiciously varied from that of the opening night.
