The !heti, arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning, with the mails from India. THE NEW BEER ACT. , Tzs spring campaign against the menforts of - Sunday travollare has opened with vigour. Already • word climbing affairs • have taken place. Not the Wait roMirkable is the sits* on'Mr. Pans, the land ' Ord of the Prim:mod Wales Hotel at Blackheath. This irentleumb, es our readers will have seen in our bares 'scion of jestarday, was summoned on Wednesday last 'Adore tin Greenwich magistrite for keeping his open on the afternoon of Good Friday, oat (racy to Act of Parliament, and so forth. Mr. •Footx pleaded guilty to having his home copse, but declared that the only perms he 'supplied with food or drink' were Muslim. The only witness against I thie landlord appears to have been "Polimp.ooostable lt 66 ;" and the said R 66 deposed that, about half pet fear on the afternoon of Good Friday, he vidMi ..the defendant's home, the door of which was amid, Asia; held by the defendant. On going into font •eoeuts he found between 100 and 160 panne sitting down drinking, "the whole being very quiet and orderly." The defendant, on the other hand, de. dared that all the penises found on his • premises had come from a cousiderable di.- ' lance ' • they consisted, he . said, of parties of 24 and 20 each, who had travelled from Bt. .rearieekurchyard. Chespride, Holbert, Croydon, Bayswater, Dartford. and Sydenhain. To titbit per sona, coming from dtorter Batman, Mr. Pools had mfuesd admittance altogether. Here then was the dime, and Um case toned altogether upon the gum :don- 4 4 What la a losealide traveller r The Oreeswiek magistrate—Mr. 'haft L-•-•NIMIS . 411 have bat a vague and eaddlead idea as to the awning of these verde. He is reported to have told Ibe =fortunate landlord, that the word " traveller " Least a person leavhig hie home for the par pee of pursuing Ibieiawfal tolling, sad that • people leaving their beam for the pompom of amuse ment were Dot intended by the Act of Parliament to be treated se travellers. Now, then, we would re. spectfally ask Mr. TRAM., what coastitates " a kw fid mallet on a Sunday f The framers of the trer leer Act evidently never contemplated that a mei ohosid have any calling whataier on that day. Theyi ignore ray occupation or employment on the first day of the week save the walking to and from church. Dom the magistrate then mean that the only persons faisheser Anomie to dtik' daring °erten middy he. time' mount from, or gas, 'karat Badly, deb is the only orthodox later- V gan s inspithre ye 411 4 pea agert Mr. TRULL'S danitiOil COV.I-4 s, • i• Ids aol 41d ". 1 :15'. • .7. It appears magistrates at L in` to the word They ban timid Mil;4sd-road traysilar within dismissed Another magistrate. - it as hie *Mien that a person going from one part of Leiden to another shoed be deemed a traveller. Bet all these pleas did sot avail poor Mr. Faux, who was obliged to pay the oosts of the sussmoss. with pessimism to waste a little more tines and messy by appealing to either the Quarter Sessions or the Court of Queen's Bomb. in mass to learn pesitMly what the Aet of Portioned test a by "a base fide traveler." Mr. num strongly objects that "a loose eousesetion" should be pat upon the word "traveller ; 1 ' and, to enforce the, judo* of his opinion epos the minds of his hearers, be pat the following somewhat impondble sue Supposing," he said, "the Act of Pediment made it compulsory upon inskespere to supply travellers with provisions, shelter. or liquors, at a price below their value, or far nothing at all, what construction would the de featist pot upon the question as to who was, or was lA'S traveller ?" We coshes ourselves unable to imelle gest of the magistrate's illostratiou, and are est sougaimed that the defendant did not make any reply to so decidedly imaginary a ease. The re port winds up by saying that "a variety of further questions were here put to the magistrate, which, however, threw no additional light upon the inexplicable question, and the defendant left the court." Thus, it yet remains to be answered, " What is a beesailds traveller ?" Now, half ineasms, or half legislation, are always objectionable. If we en to have this new Beer Let continued, let it be properly enforced. Let us establish the continental system of passports, and make every man who wants to travel on a Sunday provide himself oa the Saturday with out of these documeats. Should the word " passport be thought to savour too moth of a despotic Government and as un-English police espionage, the same could be easily changed. The paper might be termed "a lleenes,which allows the bearer to partake of so much ale, so mush meat and so nine* bread, on the Sunday," and, NW die mason tickets of the Crystal Palace, those " limme" ahead be not transferable." The idea in real we make over to the honourable mambos for West Surrey, who might, without much trouble. work it up into an Act of Parliament, and introduce it before this session is over. Every man who pro vides himself with one of these indulgences should be considered a " bona _Ale traveller," and all hotel keepers or publicans should be, on the strength of the document, allowed to entertain the holder of it to his heart's content. There is no other plan that we can me for the sedation of this difficult question. Mr. Manx says that "a person at a distance from home, sod pursuing a lawful calling," is a traveller, and may have the serfs into a house of entertain ment. On this principle a Londoner who goes down to see a friend at Brighton on the Sunday is decidedly " • traveller." He is, when at his destination, cer tainly "at a distance, from home," and the moat in veterate supporters of the new Beer Act will hardly assert that he is not " pursuing • lawful calling." The only other reading of the Greenwich magis trate's dictum is, that• although it is unlawful to take any recreation on Sunday, it is permissible for people to go about the country on their usual week day avocations. The landlord of the Princess of Wales Hotel at Blackheath was summoned for having people in his house on Good Friday. But, it should be remarked that Good Friday is a day not observed as one set apart for religious exercises by any of the nume roas dissenting denominations in England. We ineetioa whether on this day week there was religious worship is a single dissenting chapel throughout the kingdom. Now as nearly ose-half of each of the labomiog classes as go to church at all a r e dissenters, it seems somewhat of an anomaly to carry into effect a forced observance of Good Friday, in the same year that we are proposing to abolish church rates. The hours during which the law now obliges public-houses to be shut on the afternoon of Sunday, viz., from half-past two to six, are exactly thee which interfere most with the poor man's comfort. And, strange to say, they are exactly those when—in London at least—the churches and chapels of all denominations are most empty. The man who goes once to church or chapel on Sunday, dome so in the forenoon t he that goes twice, goes in the forenoon and evening. In some places of warship—in many of those belonging to dissenters—there is no @ernce whatever between the termination of the morning one, at I p.m., and the commencement of evening service, at 6 p.m. Thus the Act mina to be framed for the purpose of inteeheiag as much as possible with the comfort of dome who are too pow to keep a cellar of their own. Mug shall Inborn how grievous a mistake it s 'tahrsidato for the consciences of men P Not all the give Asia in the world would ever induce people who are not so inclined to go to church. On the contrary, every one acquainted with the habits, customs, and wants of oar labouring population, is aware that by systematically dosing every place of recreation for them on Sunday, we simply add to their other sins a discontented, grumbling spirit, and the holy day which should be spent in a feeling of thank:Mess, is now passed in a frame of mind the least likely to induce an uneducated man to enter the doors of a church.—Doily News.

Evert exertion has eines been mode to prase the bill t the Commons in Lord John Itneedra absence, and Jte committee, as we have already mentioned, is now fixed for Wednesday next. The sanction of this bill by government would practically reopen the question of appropriating to the erection and endowment of new bishoprics the funds which the Aot of 1864 appropriates to the working clergy. During its proven in par liament the Cathedral Commission, of which the Bishop of Oxford is the most energetic member, has been delivered of • premature report, small in size, and but imperfectly developed, and which, although not as yet presented to parliament, advo cates the institution of one new bishopric, so as to relieve the Bishop of Exeter of part of his diocese. The bill tends to provide the funds for this new bishopric, and for any similar Sees to be recom mended in the forthcoming general report of the Cathedral Commission ; so that Lord John Russell may have the satisfaction, on his return, of finding that the administration of which he is supposed to be an essential part have ingeniously contrived to com ' mit themselves to a course exact ly contrary to his last legislation, as well u to the principles which have governed all previous acts relating to °birch property, thereof paned under his administration or under Si r Robert Peel.—Daily News. gbe Court, __..- WINDSOR, Arun. 12. ---, The dinner party yesterday included the Prince of Wawa.

That this remedy will be applied I confidently hope, and may promise my friends that no exertion of mine shall be wanting in order to insure the reform which has now been proved to be essentially necessary." Thelend between Lords Cardigan and Lucan will not be lessened by the last appearance of the latter noble hard in print. Lord Lucan states that he has every reason to believe that his message, relative to the light cavalry, on the 26th of Oct., which Lord Cardigan denies having re ceived, was delivered to the noble earl by Lord Biagham. " I quite admit that I did isotopia to his lordship on the subject— never having, ea any one occasion, to my recollection, allowed "myself directly or personally to remark upon any oat of Lord Cardigan's." Earl Lucan is no less positive that • message wee wavered to him from Lord Cardigan, object iag to the position of his (Lord Cardigan's) brigade. In oonelasion, Lord Lunn says he believes the plan attached to his pamphlet to be generally correct—" certainly not less so than the deeeription given in his Lordship's present letter, and in the speeches in which his Lordship has at such length and on different excesicies, brought his services before the public."

The doers of Covent-garden were thrown open lest night ; bet the commencement of the opera season has bees attended with rather less éclat than might have been expected, considering that it has been later than usual, and that there have been no ante-Easter performances. The full strength of the company is not yet mustered; had it been, we think the season would have been begun with some entertainment cal culated to be more attractive, and excite a greater degree of interest than the opera which was selected he the occasion. B Conte Ory was performed a few nights near the end of last season, and received with a good deal of applause, chiefly on account of Mdlle. Bosio's admirable singing ; the light and florid musics of her part being admirably suited to her bril liant and facile style of execution. But there is no thing in the intrinsic qualities of the piece which should have encouraged the expectation that it could be received with anything like permanent favour. Its origin was characteristic of the composer. During Rossini's sojourn in Paris he composed the music for a trivial race de cireonstance, called Il naggio di Rheims, got up on the occasion of the coronation of Charles the Tenth. When it had served its temporary purpose, Rossini, in order not to lose the music, introduced the greatest part of it into a French piece, called Le Comte Ory, which was produced at the Grind Opera. It had a short run, and was laid aside; but, after having been long forgotten, it was thought worth while to revive it and reproduce it on the Italian stage. In the music there are many very pretty things, bat the libretto is probably the very worst that ever was concocted. It is absolute drivelling—mere nonsense—without subject, plot, interest, or any one thing that can make it worth a moment's attention. Where it happens now and then to be intelligible, it isindecorous and offensive—no great objec tion, perhaps, in Paris; but in London, when such scenes are tolerated, it is because our audience. don't think of their meaning at all, but regard them merely as vehicles for singing. The leading incident is a frolic of a young roue and his dissolute compa nions, who, disguised as female pilgrims, get men into the house of a noble lady, where they behave scandalously, mingling, in their orgies, religious hymns with drunken choruses. Such exhibitions are too common on the stage, and passed over too lightly; but they are certainly injurious to the stage itself, because they furnish grounds for the ob jections made by many to its entertainments. In regard to the music, it is far too good for such a subject. It is often graceful and sparkling; and it would sometimes be expressive and even impassioned if there was any room in the subject for expression or passion. The finest morceaux belong to the pert of the Countess—a part which requires precisely such a singer_as Basin. It is highly florid and richly em bellished• and the rapid divisions, roulades, trills, andfunitsire with which it is filled are executed by this accomplished artist with most exquisite beauty and finish. The music in the part of the Count possesses similar qualities, though in an inferior degree. It was sung by Oardoni. better, we are convinced, than any other person ( se tting aside Mario) now on the Ave could sing it. The duet between them, " Soffrir, penar ognora," near the beginning of the first sot, was one of the most perfect pieces of singing we have ever heard. In the finale to the first act there are admirable things—one , in particular, which his been stolen whol eby nisetti, in the famous air of Maria, in the llglia del Reggingento. In the scene of the orgies of the pretended female pilgrims (which, notwithstanding its objectionable character, is musically very clever), there is a drinking chins , " Revive rAlle g nar which breathes the v2i tre o u nl of hilarity. In a proper place it would be thL There is another moreeau, still finer, of a t character—the Temetto near the conclusion, " Di trema e di speranzs," of which the proper plate would have been an agitated and impassioned scene in a serious opera. But the effect of all this fine music is destroyed by the trash with which it is associated. The opera wu admirably performed throughout. Bosio and Gardoni sang their very best, and were excellently aupported by Mdlle. Marti, Mdlle. Didiee, Zelger, and -Tighe fico ; but the piece, nevertheless, went off very coldly. The applause was faint, there was note single encore, and when the curtain fell the expression of approba tion was barely sufficieat to give the performers a pretext for presenting themselves before it. After the opera, " God save the Queen " was sung u usual on the first night of the season; and the evening concluded with the old ballet (or rather divertissement), Use Etoile, which was performed in the same way as last season. STATE OF THE SIEGE WORKS. (mom Tax orisons WIWB - S OP 7111 DAILY CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, Mane 26. The progress of the new Russian redoubt on the Mamelon hill in advance of the Malakhoff tow*, and of the ambuscades and other works connected with this position, have been the chief objects of in. terest on the right attack sines the last mail. We, strong reinforcements of the French want down ft the evening of the 23rd inst., with the intention, it was generally understood, of making a revile r g aw k on the Mamelon redoubt, and avenging the Ws aft . tained in the affair the night before against the rile, pits. These ambuscades were still in pcasessice d the Russians. The force marched down amounted* thirteen or fourteen battalions, among others a bar. talion of the Imperial Guard, and a battalion hea t each of the three regiments of Zoltan". The b at , talion of the 3rd regiment of Zceaves, it was stated, was formed of volunteers, bent on making a se►me return for the loaa:of their fallen comrades. One of the Zonave battalions was commanded by an officer wbo carried his left hand in a sling, while he managed his horse with his right hand. Re had received as injury the night before from a rifle ball disabling three fingers. As this battalion went in front of the Light Division towards the Otchakee ravine, all the men in the camp, as cu b regiment was successively passed, turned est mg cheered the Zonaves. The Regimental Guards toned out, and gave the usual salutes. The salutation. " Bono Inglis," and " Bono Francis," which um to have been adopted by the men is the French for Frenchmen, were frequently inter. changed. But the night pained off whim" any general attack ; there was nothing bi ll y the ordinary skirmishing near the ambuscade. The regiments of the Light Division were turned cet about midnight, and moved forward, remaining cedar arms for two hours. This was in consequence of a body of the enemy showing itself near the head tf the south harbour, with the seeming intention of ad. yenning in the direction of the ravine. Althoogh there was no fighting of importance, the waking pareies were not idle. The trench, which had bass open on the right of the English side, and oath left of the French, was carried on by the wcekisg Parties of both the allied troops, and the connexion across the Otchakov ravine completed. The French also advanced their zig-zag from the main line of trench in a direction up the Mamelon hill, with the object of taking the ambuscades in flank. The present condition of the works on the Mamelea hill is this. In spite of the heavy cross-fire, thefts. sinus have. continued to make progress with the re doubt. Seven embrasures are cat, and there are Gemara guns in position. The enemy have bees throwing both shot and shell from this work, chiefly against the 21-gun: battery on Frenchman'ehill, but without causing any damage. They still hold the rifle pits immediately in front of the French advanced trench. These, which were five in number, are now connected into one fosse ; and from either end a covered way has been commenced, leadinge up toward' the redoubt on the top of the bill. The Mimes who enter the ambusee during the night remain in them during the day, and are ever on the alert to aim against the slightest object showing itself within range, either near the trench in front or on French. man's hilL About half way up the hill is an mime cads of large size, capable of holding a company, and strongly protected by gabions and sandbags. Sod. tired, in various parts of the hill, are smaller pits, in which single riflemen find cover. A covered way has been begun from the ditch of the redoubt in a direction towards the ravine in rear of the embus. cedes, about half way between the advanced line of the French and the road which passes over the saddle between the Mamelon and Malakhoff hills. The enemy is aloe very actively engaged in making some new batteries in front of the Rarabelnais suburb. They are connected with the earthworks around the Malakboff tower, and are stretching in a direction toward the Dockyard wall, and the bat teries near the Admiralty buildings. Stones 'ppm to have been taken from the ruin of the hfalakhoff tower to be used in these works, and this building is fast disappearing. At present only one story of the tower is visible, and of this the whole of the wall which faced the English works is removed. The central column of the pile is therefore exposed to view, and on either aide appears a dark arch, which really is a section of the staircase originally winding round the column, between it and the outer wall, end forming the means of ascent to the roof. These arches are often a subject of curiosity to persons coming up to the front, and their true nature can only be de tected by observation with a good telescope, as the ruin is so involved in the earthworks which immedi ately surround it. It has not been without considerable loss that the Russians have been able to advance their new weeks so much. The practice against them, both on the French and Welsh aide, has been very sucormfid. Latterly the shells thrown from one of the large mortars on Frenchman's-hill have been lees certain in their effects, frequently bursting in the air before the distance his been half accomplished. The en. gineer officers have complained that the fume employed have in many instances been so old u not to be depended upon. Some, it is stated, have been dated as far back as 1803, since which time they hays been lying in store at Malta or elsewhere. The Russians have lately adopted an imitation of the ball used in the Millie rifle. Many cartridge' were found in the pouches of men killed on the night of the 22nd instant with the oonical ball and iron cup at the base. The cup is very roughly mad' There were also found cartridges containing two balls, connected with each other by a spiral of boss wire. The spiral, when closed, occupied a spew d about two-thirds of an inch in length; when drove out, was capable of being stretched to a lecgtker proaching to half a foot. This is a new device: it s the application of the chain-shot to small firearm BALLICLAVA, It&aca 2S. Napia, in his "History of the War in the Pais. sula," pares some very stringent remarks on thei¢ possibility of an army acting with vigour if it is under the orders of mere than one man. In another plot he observes :—" By an abuse too common, so anol men had been drawn from the ranks se °caulks to general officers, and for other purpose', that sot more than 1,000 English troopers were in the field." How very applicable are his words t° the army at this moment. Instead of one, we hue three commanders-in-chief. At this moment it is whispered throughout the English camp that the French Commander-in-Chief stated that the Eg e t army was a burden to him. Some believe it. say it is not true. However, the fact is, the Froth will not follow the English ; and most certainly the prestunption of the young staff officers would newt allow thern•to follow the French; and both Tejo would Kern being led by Omer Paella. And the abuse is very common of taking fighting men tog for all sorts of purposes but what they are sent ost for, and weakening the army very considerably thereby. Some very unkind, but I believe just, remarks sus freely made by the navy here on certain appoiounents and favouritism shown if parties have either aristo cratic or parliamentary interest. Why is the count burdened with the support of naval surgeons on half pay who refuse to go afloat? Surely England is put to expense enough, without supporting a number of idlers who refuse to serve in the hour of need. Now is the time to weed the army and navy lists of all such unprofitable burdens. The general opinion is that %it require a than of decision—a man to command in chief. Well informed men say that there is every reason to believe that the Russians have removed nearly all their troops frws Sebastopol, and particularly from the north side.
