I rejoice to learn, that while you are resolved not to allow youreelvee to be betrayed into any premature resistance to the tyranny and intrigues by which Austria perfidiously seeks to deprive you of those rights (the unconditional respect for which is her sole title to your allsgianoe), you have determined not to abandon one particle of that coasti tution to which by law you are entitled. Nevertheless, the position of your country is most critical, and when considered together with the present state of Rome, of Venetia, and of Warsaw, is a disgrace to civilised Europe. How this lamentable state of things is to be remedied, whe ther by an appeal to arms, or by a Congress honestly con. versed, and honourably intentioned, • few more months must determine; sod notwithstanding German influences and intrigues are everywhere ►t work, and our minister at the head of our foreign department is, I fear, not unfavour ably disposed towards their success, yet with the people of England aid of Prance in continued and faithful alliaaee, with ► rising Italy by their side, I see no reason for nationa lities to despond, or *sacred cause of constitutional liberty sairighegt IWO Irstaidd be mite** MeV " Playgoers sup iiifilar."—Atbsuiesa.

Porter Bad Co., as to the residue of the works, have beau duly signed, at prices which will complete the works for lees than 28,000 f.. the oostractim taking payment of 12,0001. of this amount is paid-up Mares. The directors have entered into arrangements for the purchase of nearly the whole of the land required.

The member of intimate relieved at this hospital &win the week Gain Anent 10 was 3,500, of which VS wore sew 01114111. Mr. Mellon's annual swim of concerts com menced last night, having heist transferred from their former locality (the floral Hall) to the more spacious and important area of the adjacent theatre. The stage, pit, and stalls being levelled, form one vast platform for proms. naden and performers, the background being enclosed with white drapery, relieved with floral festeon, a la Jana. The orchestra—including as it does many of the best members of the Royal Italian Opera band—is of first-rate excellence, and gave proof thereof by the performance of various instrumental pieces, including the overture to per PrrierAul:, Mendelsohn's Italian Symphony, and Mr. Mellou's Royal Dratuatic College Quadrille—the latter a brilliant piece of dance music, instrumented with all that piquancy of effect which is proper to this class of composition. The instrumental piece* were agreeably contrasted by the solo performances of Mdlle. Pampa and Madame Laura Baxter and the choral singing of 200 members of the National Choral Society. The chorister,, under the eoaductorship of Mr. G. W. Martin, were placed in the amphitheatre stalls, and gave evidence of their good training in several popular pieces. The theatre was well attended without being overcrowded— that is to say, the visitors to the promenade portion were not jammed together like berries, in a barrel, as we remember to have seen in bygone Jullien days ; and while making this remark, it is satisfactory to note the manifest ruperiority of the shilling visitors of last night to the class which we have heretofore been accustomed to see. The promenade portion of the Royal Italian Open last night presented the appearance of • high-class concert room, and certainly afforded a convincing proof of the progress and the refining influences of music. Mr. Mellon's concerts worthily fill up the interregnum be tween the end of the summer and the commencement of the winter musical season ; and we treat he will reap the re ward which his enterprising management certainly deserves. PERILOUS POSITION OP A ROPKWALKSR. The second of a series of .1'0,4 which commenced with Mr. E. T. Smith's proprietorship of Cremorne took place yesterday, the notable feature of this occasion being the performance of the " Female Blo•din," who walked along a rope which had been stretched from the esplanade across the river to the hour-mills on the opposite bank. This feat, not so perilous, perhaps, as it may appear to be, was nevertheless invested with a sufficient quantity of danger by unforeseen circumstances. The rope on the Cremorne side was deficient in the number of guy-lines and weights necessary to keep it steady ; and when the performer reached the timber support over which the main curd passes, at • distance of some five or six hundred feet from the esplanade, she found it difficult to proceed. After some futile attempts had been made by tie at tendanta to remedy the imperfection, the "Female Biondi's" started from the halting plain where she bad stayed for more than half-an-hour, and proceeded about • dome yanls along the reraainiug portion of her journey ; but she found the rope so very f►r from deserving its ordinary appellation that she was obliged to back with all possible speed to the little perch en the summit of the support. Here she stopped for another tedious interval, and then for • second tune essayed • cum. pletion of her task. By dint of courage and perseverance she reached the middle of this final length of cord; but her position was now the more unpleasant, from the equal difficulty of returning or going on. The rope swayed so violently that she was compelled to take • sitting pasture, and fresh attempts were made to thug lines over the oasis cord,with the purpose of steadying it. These attempts were equally abortive with the first, and had to be abandoned. Meanwhile the per. former had wisely chosen her seat Dear a couple of weights and their attendant guy-lines. It was very fortunate that she was able to do this, as the final incident of the scene proved. Dusk was coming on, when she threw her pole down in despair, and began to lower herself by the small lines. Though they must have cut her hands terribly she maintained her hold with a courage that all the spectators will have admired, even while they trembled for her fate. A boat had been rowed to her relief, and she descended into it amid hearty cheers. The sight of the river banks, and of Bastsessa•bridge, crowded as they worst° excess, will long he remembered. It is probable that no such scene has ever been wit nessed at this well-known spot. Mr. Smith's second Jae, allowing somewhat for the contretemps we have described, was a most successful one. Of the "Female Moodie" we may say that ahe seems competent to perform the task which she her undertaken to repeat several times, and that when the proper arrangement of her rope has been effected she will in all probability make her walk across the Thames with safety and ease. The distance which she traversed yesterday must have been full two-thirds of the satire lee &h of rope, and she showed no fear until arriving at the point where actual danger became apparent. DEATH OP MADAMS CATHERINE HAYES. We regret to have to announce the death of this Wonted and popular vocalist, which took place on Sueday even*, at bytimimm. Oa Monday last her medical at tendant, Mr. Chis of Oeorpotreet, Hanover-square, was requested by Wepaph to attend her. From that time, in spite of 'medical trestimeek she gradually became worse, sad on evenin g * she was speechless. At halfpast six in the she expired, the promo°. of her mother mid the friends at whose house she bad been staying on • visit. Madame Hayes was about forty years of age, and not in the lout woes by her exciting prolassion. Her great success ma • vocalist is a matter of too much nutoriety to need deseription. Even when matched against the great heroism et the Italian stage she was enocomful, sad for many yeses her position at the bead of English commit singers has hem impregnable.

From that evening dated an ardent desire to excel in the lyric drama; every other triumph seemed poor and incomplete in comparison ; and at length she obtained the consent of her friends to her departure for Paris, where she studied under Emmanuel Garcia, the master of Malibran and Jenny Lind. At the cud of • year and a half her in structor dismissed her, with the assurance that he could add no further charm to her voice ; and by his advice she re. paired to Milan, and obtained there, under the direction of Signor Felice Romani. that dramatic facility necessary for her intended career. in 1845 she made • brilliant &bet in I P ritaai, at the Marseilles open-house, and, after addi tional study, sceepted an engagement as prima donna at La Scala.

As so large a number of children had to be accommodated, deal tables were conntructal in rows, as close together as possible, each table being covered with white calico, with a breadth of pink to hang down. The school door, which was about the centre of tbs marquee, opened on to a platform, covered with red cloth, erected for the accommodation of lady Londonderry and her party. After the noble ladies had taken their seats, the whole of the children passed before them in single file, entering by one end and paving out by the other, and the marchioness distributed the prises which had been awarded. Among those on the platform were Lady Portarliogton, lady Susan Vane Tempest, Bev. Mr. Gooch, Mrs. Gooch, and Miss Gooch, ke.

Several of the girls also exhibited we'l -1 drawn maps and specimens of unexceptionable penmanship, The sketches, mechanical drawings, and copy-boob) of the boys reflected credit both upon themselves and their teachers, and the fact that scarcely a scholar appeared without his or her copy-book spoke volumes for the progress of education amongst those now favoured children of the poor miners. The prizes given consisted of small boxes of tools, writing desks, writing cases, books, pocket knives, reticules, work- boxes, and needlework cams. When all bad passed, her ladyship and party retired, and the children were then plen tifully regaled with tea and cake, dinner being provided in an ante-room for the teachers.

Tna CITY AS • PLacs or REIUDINCIL—We have here some strange ialloeseee to contend with. The density of the population is 157 per acre, whereas in the chief town, of England tt is but five per acre. It is lamentably true that for the very young and the ve r y old, the City is not favourable to life ; but the tendency of the population is to deal with the City mere and more as • Oboe of temporary abode, and those who have not the cares and anxieties of badness to perplex them—as the very young and the very old ought not—are being more and mom removed away from the influences of close quarters, the fumes of gee, and the penetrating power of coal smoke, to sweeter atmospheres in the suburbs. But for adults in the prime of there is no better place for the combination of motive useful ness with high enjoyment ; and when the City turns out its corps .1 Rifle Volunteers they make the finest figure on the ground as men, sod iietonialithe regulars by the firmness, and precisioa, and vitality of their movements. Between the egos of 22 to 40 years the mortality is but • fraction over 13 per cent. ; and from 40 to 60 it is but a trifle more than 16 par cent. The number of deaths from 20 to 50 is below the average ;_and it is certain that the strongest tan may ease to the City, and use hie @trough in mingling with its bedsit lessee, without wasting his energy, or impairing any I arc of the emote of vital vigour.

A correspondence has, it appears, recently taken Viebetween Mr. J. 0. Lever, M.P., and Sir o l tert Peel, the new Chief Secretary of Ireland, with regard to the Galway Mail Service. Mr. Lever, after reminding Sir Robert of the " warm expiessiou of sympa thy," in his speech at the Tamworth election, " with Mr. Gregory's efforts to obtain the renewal of the subsidy for the Galway line," enters at considerable length into the merits uf the question. The following is Sir Robert's reply : Whitehall, August 8, 1861. 81r,—I am in the receipt of your letter of the 6th inst. and have read the statement with which you have favoured me of your views of the importance of an ocean line of s ipi between Galway and America with the interest such a subject is entitled to claim. You are aware that long before I held the office in con nexion with Ireland which I have now the honour to fill my sympathies upon public grounds were enlisted in favour of the scheme for making iNilway a highway of commerce between our country sad America, sod of thus giving effect to the geographiesl advantages admitted on all hands to be possessed by Galway. I felt, moreover, that this scheme had been warmly espoused by the leading men and by the public in Ireland as calculated to develop the com mercial resonmee and general prosperity of the island, and I hoped for a satisfactory solution of the difficulties which temporarily embarriuwed the concern. There are of course no reasons why I should in any degree modify the views I then entertained; on the contrary, from the very position I now hold, I am bound to be even more especially alive than heretofore to everything *skim to Irish interest. Party feeling ought to have nelllaisr to do with the mettle, end minima .swab advsee with a view to promote imperial advantages is entitled to recommend itself with equal solicitude to the consideration of a succeeding government. However, at the close of the session of 1861, sad after the statement of the Prime Minister in the House of Commons on Tuesday last, it would ill become me to enter into speculation as to the prob able result of subsequent arrangement, but you may rest assured that I shall bear is mind the desire you exprees that I should give the matter an earnest attention ; and this I may say, that her Majesty's government can have no other object in view than the pursuit of a generous policy towards Ireland, coupled with the hope that the commercial efforts and mercantile transactions of the Irish people may be marked with that sums' which an union of energy and en turpriae, with economy and prudence, almost invariably command.

PZETESHERZ. —The Edinburgh Courant of Satur day says If the weather is favourable, the sporting season will be opened on Monday under more promising circumstances than for many years. The season has been remarkably favourable for grouse, and the hills are conse quently unusually well stocked, and the birds in a most advaaced and healthy condition. The keepers have recently examined the moors under their charge, and they invariably report that the prospects exceed the most sanguine expec tations. On some hills the crop of grouse has not been equalled for the last twenty years, and on others, where scarce a bird was to be seen last 110111/011, the coveys at present are numerous and large. On all the hills extend ing from Curriemuckloch to Abesfeldy, the Garry and the Tummsl, Breadalbane, Loch Batrine, and Callander, all breeds of game are abundant. The extensive ranges in the vicinity of Crieff are unusually promising. Those of the Perth estate—many thousand acres—are well stocked, and will afford admirable sport to the most experienced marksmen from the number and advanced condition of the birds. On the bills of Connachan and Monzie the crop has not been exceeded for years. Among the Glenturret mountains the grouse are plentiful and healthy. The estate of Aberuchill, belonging to G. C. Dewburst, Eaq., is sae of the best estates for game, considering its size, in Perthshire, and this season the prospects are most cheer ing. From the moors of Dunira (the property of Sir David Dundee, Bert.), Strews° (the property at J. G. Sterling, Esq.), Strathallan (the property of Lord Stratballan), Cromlex (the property of the Hon. Captain Drummcnd), the reporta are equally favourable. The late heavy rains have been somewhat injurious to late hatched broods of pheasants and grouse, but a few dry genial days will set them strong and healthy on wing. In consequence of the earliness and luxuriance of gram m the glens, the deer are in a forward state. The fawns are more numerous and healthy than last season, and the deer-stalking this year is considered as certain to be much superior. Several sportsmen have arrived at their shooting boxes, and peat preparations are being made for opening the season with ng HAWICX.—The sportsmen in this district (says the Swimsuit) will And game more plentiful than for a num ber of years back. All kinds of game have bred well, grouse coveys numbering from six to ten, and the birds are stronger and wilder at this season than veteran sportsmen familiar with the district have in yeah past found them in the month of November. This may partly be accounted for by the recent boisterous weather, which has made the moors vet) , wet, and consequently the birds are more on the alert. Black-game have also bred well, and partridges are abundant. In short, the prospects for the season have seldom been better. A peat tract of the grouse-shooting country belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch ; and as none of his grace's shootings are let, but are principally engaged by a few of his private friends, few gentlemen have shooting quarters in our neighbourhood. VALI:JAME SKIIVICS6 OP A LIMAGAS.--CAHOII, Aunuar 10.—On Wednesday the 7th last., at half-past 11 o'clock, a.m. ' the Spanish barque Presidia de Tomemm, 320 tons, Dos Jamb° Blum* master, sailing under the British Sag from Liverpool to Havanna', with • valuable cargo, went aground or. the Blackwater Bank. The weather was thick and foggy at the time, and a heavy sea was run- Mem with the mod (rem S.W. Her rudder wan at once disabled, and one of the pumps choked, and the barque made water rapidly. The master and 14 men left the vessel in their own hada, and after one boat had been swamped. succeeded in landing at Ballinamona. One nun Las been, however, inadvertently left on board the ship. At 2 p.m. information was sent to Cabins of the wreck, when the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, stational at that place, was immediately launched and proceeded to the Beek. Meanwhile the barque had worked off, and with the one sailor on board drifted out to sea. As soon as this was observed from the lifeboat her course was altered, and she bore down to the ship, which she succeeded ic over taking about five miles N.E. from Cabers Point. The crew of the lifeboat finding on getting on board the vessel that the water was rapidly increasing in her hold, thought it advisable to ran for the beach near Arklow, which we. safely accomplished. The vessel now lies there. SHOCKING FRATRICID4-011 Saturday evening, • melancholy tragedy was enacted at Dewley, a little vil lage near Throckley Fell.

Some quarrel arising, the younger brother, sitting upon • chair, struck William a violent blow, knocking him to the ground. Re covering his position, the injured man seized& loaded gun which was hanging in the room. and firing it at his brother Christopher, the contents entered his breast, killing him upon the spot. The murderer, William Atkioson, was taken into custody by P.C. John Anderson, and war removed to the Moot Hall Prison, in Newmstle. Since the communion of the unnatural deed he has been in a very desponding state of mind, it having been found necessary to call in the advice of Mr. Rayne, surgeon. The inquest on the body of the deceased will probably be held to-day (Monday), and in the meantime the prisoner has been remanded by Mr. R. B. Sissiderson till this evening.—Newcastle Chromjcie.

(From the New York nom) RIAL STRINOTH or THZ RI:RILL—There is no doubt that, from the most obvious necessity, the active force which the rebels can bring into the field is now *mem. tented in Virginia. It is the battle ground of their own se. ]Action, and upon which they have staked their all. We have it from the best authority that within that state t hey have now at least 175.000 men, most of them well sod led by skilful and desperate officers, who see in defeat their own destruction and disgrace. Their army is com posed of the very Hite of the South. Once destroyed it can never be replaced, either in men or material. Only a small portion of it has been drafted from the class of poor whites, who are too listless and de- Ealetto be of any reliance if brought into the field. To this immense host the finances of the rebels have been completely exhausted. Seizures of arms from our government, forced loans, and • feeling of hatred to the North, have supplied the means for sending into the field an army which OLD neither be paid, nor fed, nor clothed, so as to maintain its ellkiency for any length of time, unless • decided success be achieved. This army never was, nor will it ever be, so fit for action as at the present moment. Its leaders thoroughly understand their position—that inaction is ruin, and that im mediate success is an imperative necessity. That they are acting upon this conviction and necessity there cannot be a doubt. Indeed, our despatches from all quarters con firm this. General Banks' command have retreated into Beryline(' before General Johnston, whe bas apin in great force upon his old ground. Newpores i rs tred rs is threatened with an immediate attack. We have not bad time to learn the movement of the rebels westward, to attack Generals Rosman' and Cox, but we are confident such movements have been made. In other words, the 175,000 rebels, released from all fear of an immediate attack on their main positiee, are hurling this vast force against our isolated sad unsupported columns, and it will be good fortune or goad gene rap if we do not sustain another disaster. Our recent reverse, and the information which it has supplied, show the magnitude of the task before us, which is first successfully to receive its attack, and then drive this vast body of 175,009 desperate and well equipped men out of Virginia. Are our immediate preparations at all adequate to such a task? Does not the enemy at present overmaster us in numbers, and perhaps in appointment, in additiou to occupying positrons which are themselves for tresses? Congress, we know, has voted 500,000 men for the war, with ample provision for their equip ment and commissariat, but the greater portion of these are yet to be called out, and when they are, must :go through months of training and experience of camp life to fit them for their duties. Not a moment should be lest by government is availing itself of the means placed in its hands. We ought to be strongest when the enemy is strongest, which is at the present instant. If we are not now his match on his own battle-ground, not a mo ment is to be het in making up our deficiency. The New York Herald has the following article on the social effects of the war : The present war, although in itself disastrous, has already produced • salutary change in the social habits of our people. Before the commencement of the campaign we had become spoiled by prosperity, and, finding it easy to earn money, gave ourselves up to extravagant living. Hotels were built and conducted on.a magnificent and costly scale, and, with • plethora of guests willing to pay with • prodigal hand, they made large fortunes for their proprie tors. It was fashionable to live in hotels, and so people lived is them. But how stands the case now? The incomes of all have been more or less reduced by the condition of the country, and people have discovered the necessity of practising economy in every possible way. With this view they have left hotels and gone to r •mide privately. Thei have also reduced their tailors' and milliners' bill; and, following the order of the day, have made the redaction their expenses a study. At the present time, instead of visiting Saratoga and other fashionable resorts, they have taken up their residences at the cheapest hotels and board ing lioness in the rural districts. Meanwhile the large city hotels are nearly empty. The proprietors are unable to pay their rents, and they are losing considerable sums every week by keeping them open. In previous summers all these houses were crowded with fashionable tourists, especially Southerners ; but now, how great the change ! ' It is well that adversity has its uses, and that even • war may improve and purify social life, and even change the ' character of • nation. Before the outbreak of the rebel lion the great standard of excellence was shrewdness in the purchase and sale of stocks, lied proficiency and cunning the art of making money. Mammas seemed to be our god, and money the ultimo Mule of human effort, the twrimum ton um of existence. What in it. influence could be more pernicious and degrading than this.' It is well that • change has come—that something nobler than the possession of money commands our respect. We now look for courage, bravery, selfkaerihce, patriotism. We are burning with martial ardour, and personal fortune is lost sight of in the absorbing desire to save the Union. We axe becoming larger-hearted, less selfish, and more imbued with the true spirit of philanthropy every day. The eriergy of our pals to accomplish great deeds is becoming more largely dev eloped with the march of events, and on all sides traces of regeneration are observable. These effects evoked by the revolution will gradually become permooeut, and long after the restoration of peace will vitalise, rein vigorate, and elevate society at large. We wanted such an infusion of the better elements of our nature into the pew tics of every-day life. It is not good for • people to be, always intoxicated with success, and to yield themselves up to improvident pleasures. It was by thrift and industry, not luxury and extravagance, that the early fortunes of this country were made. The war will make us • military people, which we were not before, and so enable us to take rank with the great powers of Europe. PRINCE NAPOLEON IN NEW YORK. (From the New York Herald.) Prince Napoleon and his oonaort continue to maintain the strictest seclusion, and it is now a settled fact that they have not the least intention to make any public appearance during their sojourn among us, but simply to visit our institutions, and come and go in the same private manner that would be adopted by any gentleman and lady from abroad not powering the prestige of imperial rank. They have taken apartment' on the ground floor of the New York Hotel, Emoting on Washington-place. The apartments are tastefully fitted up, with all the modern con veniences. A bedstead in the Princess's room, in the Gothic style, coat originally 3,000 dole. beveral gentlemen called and left their cards yesterday, but he saw none. It is understood that although his royal highness has takes moms at the hotel, it is simply for the conve nience of having a stopping place in his rambles through the city and about the environs., as hitherto be has slept on board his yacht, and spent all his time there when be had no sogagesbeats on shore.
