The season commenced last night most auspici ously, the new drama by Mr. Boucicault, entitled " Formosa ; or, the Railroad to Ruin," drew one of the greatest audiences ever assembled within the walls of thetheatre, and theresult was a perfect and complete success. The author of the drama had already used up " the Derby" for the production of " Flying Scud," and now he has incorporated the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race as the leading feature in this his latest, and perhaps most successful, sensation drama. " Formosa" is the fashionable name of Jenny Boker, who also rejoices in another alias, viz., Lady Augusta Pierrepoint, and this celebrated leader of the fashion, in conjunction with a spendthrift, Mr. Compton Kerr, and a man about town, Major Jorum, undertake the ruin of Totn Borroughs, a gentleman of fortune, and the stroke oar of the Oxford eight. All this is to be produced by pidgeouing Borroughs at play, and getting him to sign bills of exchange when in the midst of the ex citement of the gaming table. This is all accom plished, and Tom Zs arrested, but he is rescued from the sponging-house. The race takes place, Dark Blue wins—the villains are defeated, and all ends in the usual manner, virtue of course being triumphant. The drama has been placed on the stage with the utmost care and reality, and celebrated as was Mr. 13oucicault's scene Epsom Downs with the race for the Derby in the drama of " Flying Scud," Barnes Bridge, with the Oxford and Cambridge boat-race, perhaps excels it in inten sity and excitement. There are several remarkable set scenes, all of well-known places, which give a peculiar interest to the drama, which bids fair to outrival in attraction the most celebrated of Mr. Boucicault's productions. ,The principal actors, Messrs. J. B. Howard, Henry Irving, John Rouse, Miss Rogers, Mrs. Billington, and Miss M. Brennan all supported their respective parts to the entire satisfaction of the audience. We shall take another opportunity of speaking at greater length of " For mosa" as a drama of the modern realistic schools. WORKING MEN IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. -.-At a meeting of working men, held at the Vestry Hall, Chel sea, last evening, Mr Moy Thomas in the chair, Sir Charles Dilke, after speaking upon the subject of registra tion, which the meeting had been called to consider, wont on to say that he had received communications from certain bodies in London, stating that there was a strong feeling abroad that the objection taken to the presence of working men in the House of Commons, that they would bo the powerless delegates of those upon whom they might depend for their incomes, should be removed. He had considered the matter, and his pro posal was, that such members should, upon taking their seats at the commencement of each new Parliament, make a declaration similar to that now made by ministers as the condition of receiving a pension, and affirm that they could not duly perform the duties required of them as memborsof Parliament without receiving the salary allowed by the act proposed to members of the House of Com mons making this declaration. He thought that a bill to this effect would be supported by those on both sides of the house who objected to general payment of members.

Rouher is still looked upon with considerable suspicion by the friends of popular liberty. He is to pre side over the committee on the new measure; and the Gazette de France observes that he will thus have fresh opportunities of interference, which he will doubtless use to the confu sion of all that is really comprehensible in the Senatus- Consultum. The last paragraph in the 7th article, which provides for the rejection of the order of the day when it is demanded by the Government, is popularly attributed to the President of the Senate. Rumour is busy respecting the debate and the amendments which it is to bring to light. Seventeen amendments have been talked of, but none are as yet known, and if any are really in contem plation it is probable that their authors think it wiser to keep their own counsel for the present. M. de Maupas and M. de Sartiges will, it is said, support the Senatus-Consultum, while MM. Rouland and Larabit will strongly oppose it. M. de Persigny will, I hear, seize the opportunity afforded for a regular political manifesto. The question whether the Ministry in tend to restore the right of address is being asked in many quarters, the point having been left ingeniously in doubt by the wording of the decree. The Liberals who support the Government would do well to bring them to an understanding on this subject. M. Baroche has had a long interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in regard, it is thought, to the coming (Ecumenical Council, at which, it is now almost certain, the ea• Minister of Justice is to represent France. The representatives of the Powers are, however, to have neither seat nor voice in the Council. They are to be duly in- formed of the progress of the deliberations, and must be contented with making their wishes and opinions known to the prelates. A violent storm has just occurred in Switzerland, causing an inundation of a serious character. The Simme, a mountain torrent, overflowed its banks, and in the village of Lenk, which it traverses, the water rose nearly to the level of the first storey of the houses. The gardens were washed away, and the cellars and ground floors filled so rapidly that no attempt could be made to save the furniture. The inhabitants were forced to take refuge in the upper rooms, where they remained for several hcurs in a state of great alarm. The property destroyed in Lenk alone is estimated at £G,OOO, but. happily, no loss of life has to be deplored. The approaching departure of the Empress to the East is exciting a good deal of attention just now, and the recall of the Maritime Prefect of Toulon is supposed to indicate that the time is rapidly drawing near. The French Ambassador in Turkey will accompany her Majesty from Constantinople to Suez. Among the exaggerated statements that have been made concerning this expedition, it wa.s declared that the Emperor had placed the sum of eight million francs at the disposal of the Empress for her Eastern journey. It is said that Princess Margaret, the wife of Don Carlos, has returned to Paris, still confident in the ultimate success of her husband, although the Carlist movement in Spain appears for the present to be losing ground. The Constitutionnel announces that Thursday next is the day fixed for the discussion, by the Council of State, of the proposed modifications of the statutes of the Cr&lit Foncier. It is generally believed that these modifications will be accepted without any considerable alteration. In the extradition treaty just conc:ukled between France and Switzerland, all political offenders are expressly exempted. It is stipulated that even when extradition has been allowed, the individual shall not be punished for political offences committed prior to his extradition. This is good news for the numerous political refugees in Swit zerland. M. A. Vermorel, who has undertaken the publication of the works of the princ'pAl orators and public men of the revolutionary epoch, has just issued the writings of Marat, a volume which is regarded as an historical curiosity. A painful accident is reported from Rochefort. On Monday afternoon some fifty boatmen were engaged in dismantling an old vessel, when the mainmast fell at a moment when five men had gone up it. Four of them were precipitated into the Charente and lost, the fifth, who fell from a lesser height, was able to recover himself and swim to the quay. I hear that the Austrian Minister of Public Worship has written to the Governor of Lemberg respecting the recent revelations of the Cracow convent. He proposes immediately to discontinue the annual Government allowance to the convent, and suggests that it should be dissolved altogether. A speculator in building has bought the old prison of Clichy, and purposes to erect a large construction on the ground, which is to be called the "Lite Clichy." The French Scientific Association is preparing an expedi tion to observe the shooting stars in November from various points near the coast of the Mediterranean. A meeting of the society will be held at Marseilles in the middle of the month to consider the results. It is reported that the strike of the miners at Carmaux has given rise to serious uneasiness, and that a reinforce. =Lent of the troops in the neighbourhood will be rendered necessary. The military authorities at Toulouse have received orders to keep troops in readiness for this purpose. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTE'LLIGENCL. The following telegram has been received at the Admiralty from Admiral Sir Rodney Mundy, at Halifax :—" The Bermuda Dock hove to off Ber muda on the 28th July. Weather fine." i Tier Majesty's steam storeship Megiera, Staff- Commander J. Soane, arrived off the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, last evening, and is now discharging powder, which is conveyed on board one of the floating magazines stationed in that river to receive it from men-of-war and vessels employed under Government. The Megaßra will afterwards be taken alongside the T pier to land stores which she has brought to England front the different stations at which she has touched on her outward voyage to Rio and the Falkland Islands. She will subsequently proceed to the dockyard, Woolwich, to await further instructions. The waterside premises at North Woolwich, known as the ale stores, which the Government purchased a short time ago for the purpose, as it was then rumoured, of removing the military cloth ing establishment from Pimlico to this neighbour hood, are now ordered to be sold. Nearly the whole of the coal required for the use of the dockyard and for consumption on board the ships of war in port at Pembroke is now brought by rail direct from the collieries in the Aberdare and Monmouthshire Valleys. Formerly the coal had to be shipped at Cardiff and Newport, or if sent by Great Western Railway it had to be transhipped at New Milford at considerable ex pense. The new arrangement will effect an im portant saving in the cost of the coal, and if the contemplated branch line from Pembroke and Tenby into the dockyard is made a further re duction in the cost of fuel and in the carriage of all other articles required for the dockyard will be the result.

'IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Their lordships, after forwarding the bills on the order of the day a stage, immediately adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tars DIY. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. THE HENRY- MARTINI RIFLE. Capt. VIVIAN, in reply to Mr. Muntz, said it was not intended to placo the Henry-Martini rifle generally in the hands of the army, until it had been tried in all parts of the world. 200 rifles bad been ordered for the purpose of being distributed to different regiments. With respect to grave doubts about the durability of the weapon, the authorities were not aware that any such exists. DAGENHAM DOCKS. The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, iu reply to Viscount Enfield, said that the reason the Customs' License to land goods had been refused to the Dagenham Dock Company was the great distance of the proposed docks from the Customhouse, and the present unsheltered and unprotected state of the place. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Torrens, said there had been proposals of extradition treaties by certain foreign Governments, and during the recess the whole subject will be taken into consideration. DISCHARGED GOVERNMENT CLERKS. Mr. STANSFELD, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said no arrangement had yet been made relative to the clerks no longer required at Somerset House in consequence of the abolition of the fire insurance duty. He could not hold out hope of further employment to them by the Govern ment; but with respect to compensation, he had to say that the Treasury would take the most liberal view of the position of affairs as the act enabled them to do. PAROCHIAL EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the house going into committee on this bill, Mr. DISRAELI thought it was impossible to give the measure that consideration it deserved at this period of the session. The subject of Scotch education was not ono. simply affecting Scotch members, but it was one of national interest, and he did not think it ought to be dis posed of in any hole and corner manner, but discussed and considered in the amplest manner, and he wanted to know if such could be done now at the very fag end of the session. It was said that if the bill was not passed during this session 90,000 children would be deprived of educa tion, but, if that was so, that was no reason why an im proper bill should be passed. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was a matter that desired the most serious consideration of the house whether they should not pass a law limiting the time after which no public bill should be read a second thus, because if bills of such paramount importance as that now before them were pressed forward at the end of the session, when the Appropriation Bill had been passed, and the session looked upon as virtually at an end, it was, in fact, giving to 45 members on the Ministerial side of the house, members holding office under Government, the power of passing any measure they pleased. He thought, under all the circumstances, the bill ought not to be now further pro eded with. The LORD ADVOCATE said it was most unfortunate that there should have been so much delay, but it was wholly impossible to prevent it. Ho hoped the house would consent to go on with the bill. Mr. HENLEY said he thought they were, during the last ten days, going at a pretty good pace for bringing legislation into contempt. (Hear, hear.) And if they did that contempt for the law would follow. There were now over 100 amendments to the bill ; and although it had been said that the Lord Advocate had agreed to7o of them, ho did not thick that even then there was time to give the measure that consideration it deserved at this advanced period of the session. Mr. COLLINS said he did not care what the Scotch members did for Scotland—(laughter)—but he was afraid that the manner in which this bill was being huddled through the house would be . inade a precedent for the Eng lish bill. It appeared to him perfectly ridiculous to say they only bad to send the bill back to the Lords after they had made amendments. That was true, certainly ; but then they were going to send the Lords back a bill per fectly different from that which their lordships had sent down to them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CANDLISH thought it was not too much to say that there were still numbers in that house willing to go on with the bill. The session had not been a protracted one because there had been occasions when the session had extended to the 23d of August. (Oh, oh.) If they set fairly to the consideration of the bill, it could be dis posed of long before that time. He could not believe that hon. members thought more of the grouse than they did the education of the children of Scotland. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. BRIGHT urged the house to proceed wtth the bill, as it would, if passed, remove a difficulty out of the matters to be discussed next session. Lord ELCHO thought it would be the wisest course to pursue not to hurry the bill through at that period of the session, ar.d therefore he should move that the chairman do leave the chair. The house divided, when there appeared— Ayes Noes Majority against the motion The committee of the bill was then proceeded with, the house resuming the consideration of the bill at clause 24. The consideration of the other clauses of the bill occupied the house up to the hour at which the sitting was suspended. LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening.

This afternoon, shortly after four e'clock, a gentlatuan put an end to his existence in the most determined man ner. A few minutes previous to the unfortunate affair, the occupants of the smoking-room in the Charing cross Hotel, observed a gentleman enter, and having placed his hat and cane on one of the tables, he walked to the windows overlooking the departure platform of the South Eastern Railway. He then passed into the balcony, ap parently to survey the busy scene beneath, but suddenly he was seen to mount the stone balustrade in front, and throwing up his hands he plunged himself head foremost to the ground. His head struck the iren edging of the steel weighing plate and crushed in his skull, so that death was instantaneous. Mr. Wire, one of the directors at tached to the hotel, instantly ran to the spot, and with the assistance of some other persons lifted the gen tleman from the pool of blood in which he was lying aid conveyed him to the Charing - cross Hospital, but ho was beyond all human aid. On searching the deceased, a letter addressed to "Captain Bowk(er" was found, but nothing further was found to lead to his identity. Inquiries are now being made to discover the friends of the deceased, and from the letter containing references it is expected thep will prove successful. The occurrence of an event of such a terrible nature, at the busiest mo ment of the day, at this extremely public place, caused the utmost excitement. Race Glasses, byVoigtliinder, are now no longer the ex c:usive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of that-co beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtliiuder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. 1~• it 5. 5 0 31 10 571 iZ S`2
