The Liierpol Cotton Market yesterday pre sented v ty heavy appearance, and prices slightly de•ined. The sales were estimated at from 5,,0 to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were take /1 4y the speculators. In the Railway Share Maret a very limited amount of business was tramacted, and quotations tended downwards. A further large supply of gold, namely £207,000, has arrived from Australia by the Red Jacket, which has made the passage in the short space of 71 days. This, together with the other remit tances which must now be near at band, will, it is thought, soon make good the deficiency which the recent Bank returns have shown in the item of bullion. Several days having now elapsed since any large shipments have been made to the Conti nent, there is reason to believe that the movement has been checked for the present, and that the bulk of the receipts from the antipodes will be added to the stock of precious metals in the national esta blishment. The amount taken into Threadneedle street vaults yesterday was rather smaller than was expected, namely about £70,000 ; but it ap pears that the supplies which have lately been received were not ready for disposal. A moderate amount, however, will probably be taken in to day, and the return, which will appear in next 'week's Gazette, will no doubt show that specie is accumulating in the Bank of England. The general inquiry for money is limited, and the market remains without alteration. At the annual meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ireland to-day a very favourable report was read, showing improved prosperity in the business of the bank, as well as in the social condition of Ireland. The net profits of the year were 116,468/. 13s. 3d., from which the directors now declared a dividend of 30s. in each 100/. share, and 124. on each 101. share, in addition to the usual half-yearly dividend of 4 per cent., making the amount thus to be paid 2/. 10s. on each 1001. share, and 1/. on each 10/. share, for the half-year ending Midsummer next. No alteration has been made to day in the dis count regulations of the Bank. The market for English Stocks is rather firmer, and a further slight improvement is not improbable. Business is almost suspended, owing to the desire evinced by the speculators to defer operations until after' the debate to-night. The receipts of gold from Australia have had a favourable effect, and the few operations recorded show an in clination to speculate for an advance. Consols for transfer have been 974 and for account 97i ; they are now 971 f I and 971 respectively. The New Threes are 96i ; the Reduced, 961 ; Ex chequer Bills, 41s. to 435. prem. ; and India De bentures, 1004 I. Bank Stock is 221 to 2221. Foreign Securities are 'rather more active, and prices have generally slightly fluctuated. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 97.1 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. 44i 5 ; Ditto Deferred, 27 ; Russian 5 per Cents. 112 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 87 88 ; ditto 3 per Cents. 66 ; ditto dollar Bonds 70 72 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i ; Brazilian 5 per Cants. 1014 ; Venezuela 41 per Cents., 371 ; ditto Deferred, lb ; Dutch 2i per Cents., 66 ; and ditto 4 per Cents., 994 100.

There are now building in this country ten ships . of war, to enable the Ottoman government to carry out the treaty of Paris. Four of them are being built in the shipyard of Messrs. White, of Cowes, and consist of two corvettes, 800 tons ; one despatch gun-vessel, 600 tons ; and a gunboat, 200 tons. The remainder are building at Blackwall. The Messrs. White have justdespatehed to herdestination a steam ship, called the Bosphorus, being the 13th ship built by them for th e Chirket Company, and intended to ply on the Bosphorus. This week they have comploted 4 other st eam-ships which on Tuesday had a cruise on the Southampton Water, with a distinguished party on board. These ships comprise two paddle-wheel and two screw steamers ; the former are named the Constantinople and Danube, and are intended to ply on the Danube ; the latter are named the Sweet Waters and Golden Horn, and are intended for the traffic of the Sweet Waters, Constantinople- They are built for a private company in connection with the Ottoman Government. The paddle wheel steamers are 481 tons (b. m.), and 100-horse power (nominal). They areof limited draught, being only 5 ft. when laden, in order to suit the shallow watei sof the Danube. Their dimensions are—length, 170 feet; depth, 9 feet 6 in. They will carry two pivot guns. The engines are made and fitted by Messrs. Summers and Day, of Northam, and are so constructed in each ship as to be disconnected from each other, and worked in contrary direr-ions, for the purpose of allowing the vessels to be turned in a space equal to their own length. Their speed, when tested at the measured mile, gave an ave rage of 11i knets per hour. They are schooner rigged, built exceedingly strong, and have a ladies' cabin and saloon below, with a cabin forward and a saloon on deck. The screw ships are 82 tons and 25-horse power. They draw only three feet of water, and are of the following dimensions— length, 79 feet ; beam, 16 feet ; depth, 7 feet. They are fitted with geared ,engines and Penn's p a te n t lignum vitas screw shaft bealings. Their speed, when tested at the measured mile, gave an average of 94 knots per hour. They are intended either for towing purposes .or passenger traffic. The fouf vessels steamed up the Sairharnpton Water in beautiful style, with the Union Jack at the fore and the Ci ()scent at the main, and brought up off the royal pier for the purpose of taking on board a party of s - eiervifie gentlemen, who arrrived from London. Among those present were his Excellency Sali Pacha (who has been for some time in this country superintending various orders of the Turkish Government). A. Paichiari (the Ottoman consul-general) and lady, aiptain Corisall (of the Brazilian navy), Captain Ford (of the Ottoman navy), Mr. Lynn ( eng i neer o f Ports mouth Dockyard and inspector for the Turkish Government), several Greek merchants and ladies, Messrs. Rubie and Murray (surveyors of the Board of Trade), Mr. White (shipbuilder), Messrs. Summers (engineers and shipbuilders), &c. The ships (two and two), steamed down the river in beautiful style, with the Union Jack at the fore and the Crescent at the main, lowering their colours to the English frig a t e lying off Netley, which they passed at full speed. After passing Calshot Castle they executed several manoeuvres, and tested the various speeds of the engines. A. splendid dejeuner was partaken on board, and se veral complimentary toasts were given and acknow- , ledged. EPSOM RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LATEST BETTING.

CONSUMPTION OF COAL IN FRANCE.—From a paper just presented to the Academy of Sciences by M. de Cowmines de Marsilly, it appears that the total quan tity of coal annually consumed in France is 9 millions cf tons, of which 5 millions came from the north, viz , from the basins of Mons and the Centre, 1,700,000 tons; Charleroi, 900,000; Valencinnes, 800,000 ; Pas de Celaie, 300,000 ; and Newcastle, 400,000. A LION HUNT.—A. letter from Pailippeville (Algeria) of the 12th gives the following account of a lion bunt which ended fatally for the principal actor in it. For some time past, the Arabs belonging to a tribe between Store and St. Charles saw their flocks every day di minishing from the attacks of a lion of such enormous size and strt ngth that they despaired of being abJe to destroy it. In that dilemma, they applied to a shoe• maksr residing in the village of St. Charles, who had acquired a considerable reputation from his skill and courage in hunting savage animals, and be readily consented to accompany a party of the tribe against the lion. A day was fixed, and the shoemaker, after fx..mining the ground, placed himself with a double-barrelled gun in ambush in a hollow tree, where ho waited patiently for the approach of the expected prey. A party of the Arabs were stationed at some dis tance. After waiting some time, the lion made hie ap pearance, and advanced towards a flock which had been purposely driven to graze near the tree. As soon as the animal came near, the shoemaker fired his two barrels, aril the lion fell apparently dead. The shoemaker waited for a quarter of an hour, and then finding that the lien did not move, he went forward, and raised its head with the barrel of his gun. At that moment the dying ail mal made a last effort, and lifting up its paw, struck the shoemaker so heavily on the back that he killed him on the spot. The Arabs after a time approached, and found the lion and the man dead side by side. A case of some interest to foreigners was on Tuesday submitted to the French Imperial Court, A Hessian of the name of Steinmetz came to Paris in 1798, and after working some years as a journeyman tailor, established himself in business on his own account. In 1808 he mar ried a young Frenchwoman named Reze, daughter of a tradesman of Paris. In 1815 a son was born to them, but in 1827, having lived very unhappily together, they signed before a notary a declaration to the effect that as the man was a Hessian, and had never been na turalised a Frenchman, and as his wife by her marriage belonged to his country, they intended to avail them selves of the laws of divorce in force in that country, and to have the marriage dissolved. The man then by deed made some provision for their son, whom he left to the woman, and returned to Germany. He here to k steps for having the marriage put an end to, and it was not until 1834 that he succeeded in obtaining a decree of divorce from the Hessian Government. In 1837 he married a young woman named Weber, and bad four children by her, and in 1855 he died at Darmstadt. As be left considerable propeity, his first wife, Mine. Roze, put in a claim on the ground that as divorce was not recognised in France, she alone was entitled to it, but the Hessian courts rejected it. Part of the property being in France, she in 1856 brought an action be fore the Civil Tribunal of Paris to secure it. In support of her action she maintained that, although her husband bad not been formally naturalised, ho was a Frenchman in the eye of the French law at the,time he married her, inasmuch as he had quitted his own country without any intention of returning there, and was regularly domiciled in France; and that conse quently the divorce wbich be had obtained in Hesse was null and void. The tribunal, finding that the man, when he married, really had no intention of returning to Hesse and that, besides, he had b een regar d e d as hav ing abandoned his nationality by the Hessian Govern ment, and had, after his return, to wait some years be fore he could reoover it, gave judgment in favour of Mme. Roza, alias Steinmetz. The second Mine. Stein metz appealed yestorday to the Imperial Court against this decision, but the Court confirmed it. TOE ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT CHALON.— The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Chalon-sur-Saone yesterday commenced the trial of the men who were concerned in the outbreak near that place on the Gth of March last. The number of these men is 36, and they are all workmen, labourers, or petty traders. All are accused of having farmed part of a secret political society for the overthrow of the Government, and some of them are in addition charged with having formed a nocturnal assemblage, others with having carried arm or had illegal possession of arms and ammunition, with having attempted to seduce soldiers from their duty, with hav ing uttered seditious cries, or with resisting the police. The trial, it is expected, will last several days, as sixty witnesses have been called for the prosecution, and one hundred for the defence. The principal accused, a man named Serey, better known by the name of Henri, is in flight ; another of the accused has also fled; but the other thirty-four are in custody. Serey is about thirty two years of age, and was for some time an active de magogue at Martnande and Agen. After the coup d'6:at he was condemned to transportation, but he fled from France and for some time wandered about Italy and Spain. Henri obtained a pardon, returned to France, and took up his residence at Chalon-sur-Saone. Being of plausit le manners and possessing a certain facility of elocution, he soon obtained great influence over the workmen, and they got up a secret society. It was principally through the exertions of these flan that the insurrectional attempt of March 6 took place. The vial was proceeding when the report left. POISONOTJS SNAKES, &a—Poisonous snakes may be readily known by the shape of their head and neck ; the head being very wide at the back, and the neck compara tively small. Some persons compare the head of a poi sonous snake to the ace of spades, which comparison, although rather exaggerated, gives a good idea of the poison-bearing head. It has a cruel and a wicked look about it also, and one recoils almost instinctively. Should a person be bitten by the viper, the effect; of the poison may be much diminished by the liberal use of olive oil, and the effect of the oil is said to be much in creased by beat. Strong ammonia, or bartshorn, as it is popularly called, is able useful, as is the case with the stings of bees and wasp , and for the came reason. The evil consequences of the viper's bite vary much in diffe rent persons and at different times, according to the tem perament of the individual, or his state of health. I may as well put in one word of favour for the viper before it is dismissed. It is not a malignant creature, nor does it seek after victims ; but it is as timid as any creature in existence, slipping away at the sound o f a f oo t step, and only using its fangs if trodden on accidentally or inten• tionally assaulted."—" Common Objects of the Country," by the Rev. J. O. Wood. INDIAN GRATITUDE.—The descendants of Shah Soojab, whose claims we so long supposed against Dost Maho toed, have been for years past in a state of comparative poverty. Sir Henry Lawrence during his lifetime took compassion on the fallen state of the family, and introduced as many of its members as were eligible into various native corps. Among the cadets thus provided for was one Shabzadar Secunder. This man was appointed a jemadar in the Ist Oude Ca valry, raised by Major Daly. When he joined his corps ho had neither clothes nor money, but he' was supplied with hothead treated with every consideration. In May last Secunder's troop and another were ordered to march from Lucknow and keep open communicatiens wbh Delhi. The troopers mutinied, three of the officer. were murdered, and a'l but Secunder "perched oiff to Delhi. Secunder, however, galloped off to Coal, and in formed the civil authorities there of what had taken place, He did not long remain faithful, but joined the Delhi mutineers, and was there discovered fighting against the British. During the siege he used to bold frequeet conversations with one of Major Daly's troopers who acted as an emissary, and was in the habit of entering Delhi in disguise. This trooper endeavoured to turn back Secunder to his loyalty, bat without success. Delhi was eventually captured, Seconder became a prisoner, and has eh- ce been hanged by order of Mr. Montgomery.— Friend of India, April 8.

All9e• marlc-street, Piccadilly—Opposite We York Hotol, W, EPSOM RACES—THE DERBY DAY. A wet Derby-day would have been a national calamity. It would have destroyed the hopes and expectations in which holiday folk had indulged for many weeks, and it would have deprived the English people of the fun and excitement which usually characterise their racing carnival. Until Tuesday the skiey influences had been marked by. " portents dire," and the louring clouds and fre quent rains produced a discouraging effect upon persons engaged in preparations for the great day. The booth-keepers employed themselves on Tuesday in constructing drains to carry off the an ticipa'ed rain, and in endeavour* to render their canvass waterproof ; and the itinerant serenaders and acrob its that frequent our race courses seemed "out of sorts" at the prospect of a dreary and unprofitable Derby-day. The glass rose on Tuesday afternoon, and with it rose the hopes of the intending vistors. Young men again allo - ved their fancy to dwell upon the light coats and blue veils which they had sullenly laid aside fur macintoshes and oilskins ; and the ladies expe rienced a relief when the probability presented itself that they would be able to glisten in bright dresses and gay parasols, instead of being miserably cooped up in closed carriages. The morning had scarcely dawned when Derby day people began to arrive. At first ricketty carts, loaded with ginger beer and cooling beverages, toiled into Epsom ; then leg-weary men, driving trucks before them ; people with short pipe s—boys mostly—who had walked from London, came in little parties ; but they did not loiter by the way, but plodded towards the Down; where they s to erred their limbs under the shelter of the stands or in the booths. By six o'clock the sun was shining gaily, and then the real stir and bustle of the road gradually commenced. Light gigs came dashing into the little town, their occupants put ting up for a breakfast. After them, about eight o'crock, a few carriages were seen on the road, and lumbering pleasure vans, creaking and rumbling with their heavy load of noi , y, laughing, holiday folk, made " blocks" at frequent intervals at turn pike-gates and round the roa. , eide public-houses ; then the long, straggling street, rapidly filled as train after train arrived in quick succession ; and by ten o'clock the stream of people that had set in towards Epsom since daylight had swt.lien to its usual dimensions, breaking and running off in dif ferent channels a hen it reached the town to spread over the length and breadth of the Downs. All uneasiness and forebodings as to the weather were not entirely dispelled throughout the morning, and appeals to the weathe:-wise and other-wise were frequently made as sombre clouds ever and anon gathered and drifted over the bright blue sky. The sun, however, after being , temporarily obscured, would come out and scatter them, lighting up the landscape more gaily after the intervals of gloom, and causing the spirits of the expectant pleasure folk to rise higher, and their enjoyment to be de e p e ned after the depres sion cccastoned by the prospect of unpropitious weather. A large majority of the people had, like Mark Tapley, determined to be jolly under any circumstances, and even regarded a drenching rain as "jolly fun," and as a principal element in their Derby-day's enjoyment. Au Englishman's notion of "rum things" is certainly peculiar, for at about 11 o'clock dark leaden-hue 1 clouds loured omi nously, and at last a soaking rain fell, and really people seemed to revel in the "rum id( a" of hud dling together under every available shelter. Dur ing the shower the stoppage on the road was almost general ; the inns along the road were filled in an instant, and the pelting rain cleared the street of Epsom so instantaneously, that except for the mass of people that were seen in the shops and hotels, one might almost have fancied that the Derby-day was fir distant. The rain, however, soon ceased, and out came the visitors again, and the street was more crowded than ever. The landscape brightened as the time approached for the commencement of the sport, and only a few bright fleecy clouds, driving briskly before a sharp wind, occasionally sent a shadow over the Downs. Perhaps the hill was not so crowded as last year, and perhaps the throng was not so great, but supposition only can be indulged in with re spect to these matters, as every one seems to think that "this Derby is not like the last," much in the same way that old ladies and gentlemen believe that " things are not as they were when they were young." Mr. Ruskin has expressed his opinion that it is desirable and proper that this English carnival should be painted ; but even he would have been compelled to acknowledge that Mr. Frith's elaborate pie ure of the Derby-day - Nils to show the roaring excitement which prevailed, al though there were no "gaming table and that the innocent little girl who had been to the Derby, and was so happy, has about as accurate an idea of the real fun and unrestraind merriment as a person whos experiences are limited to au Exeter hall meeting or an Ebenezer tea patty. Not even that Derby-day characteristic—clouds of dust—was wanting, for the returning visitors found the roads almost as dusty as they could have been after a lengthened drought. The most inveterate speculator allowed the first race to be run off witnout directing much attention to it, whilst those persons merely on pleasure bent , occupied themselves in drawing Derby "sweeps, ' and betting gloves with the fair sharers of their conveyances; and a vast amount of speculation took place on the " odds" against the " evens" for each race. The business of the weighing department was speedily arranged, and the ,yckeys' names and numbers were displayed on the telegraph board without delay. Of the 24 animals on the card only one—Botany--was withdrawn, and this fact at tested the care with which Mr. Dorling compiled his list of starters. On Tuesday the advance of Toxopholite and the rise of East Langton wee the principal movements in the market. Just 13-fore the race two more important changes were made perfect " rage" was evinced for Eclipse, about whom as little as 6 to 1 was at one time taken, and the "dark" Ethopian was brought to 10 to 1, taken freely. Lord Derby's horse, Toxopholie, maintained his position iii the betting to the close. People seemed puzzled to account for the retro gression of Fitz Roland, who, however, we under stand, was beaten easily in a recent trial by Beadsman. The result of the race at'ested the truth of this report. Wells had the option of riding which of Sir Joseph Hawley's he ileasel, and he chose Beadsman ! The start was admirably effected. The horses were marched into the hollow just outs:de the paddock ; they fell into a clu-ter immediately, and Mr. Hibburd dropped his flag even before the spectators generally knew they were at the post. We have little to add to the elaborate description of the ra-e given in the usual place. The defeat of Toxopholite sorely disappointedihis noble owner, Lord Derby, who was present. Beadsman ran a good stout horse, a n d it i s no t a little creditable to a private trainer and a young beginner like George Manning that he should be enabled to send a horse to the post sufficiently well and suffi ciently prepared to win so important a race. Sir Joseph Hawley has this season renewed his Ban, Aphrodite, and Teddington triumphs, for with Beadsman at Newmarket, in the Craven Meeting, ho won a stake worth about 6001., and with him he won half the Newmarket Stakes. His crowning success, however, was to secure the Two Thousand Guinea,' Stake with Fitzßolaud, and the Derby with Beadsman. The races decided after the Derby were unim portant, and the ,pectators gave themselves up to pigeon pies and champagne. The usual scene was witnessed on the road, and at the railways : omn- buses "chaffed" "four-in-hands," and pleasure vans "chaffed" omnibuses ; and not until past midnight did the last note from the last posthorn on 'he road cease to disturb the geese and retired " cite" in the vicinity of Clapham•common. The police arrangements were, as usual, most efficiently carried out. Superintendents Walker and Hughes, of the A division, had a well-disci plined body of men, numbering about 200, under their command ; and the regularity with wide) they cleared the course elicited well-deserved ad miration. Inspector Whicher, of the d e tective force, did duty in th e G ran d St an d enc losure, and his presence was quite sufficient to check the ope- rations of the chevaliers d'industrie. • The management of the traffic at the most crowded parts of the road was entrusted to a de tachment of 100 men of the A and P divisons of police, under the superintendence of Inspector Frazer ; and by diverting the stream of vehicles into lines, all possibility of confusion and danger was entirely obviated. There was an extraordinary number of excursion vans upon the roads ; and the effect produced by their fresh paint and &tinting hangings, as they toiled up the pleasant lanes, was remarkably pretty. l A r Dorlina, the clerk of the course, has cause for gratulation in the success which marked the proceedings. Acting on the principle that " trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle," he personally directed the management of affairs, and superintended the most seemingly insignificant matter which could promote the efficiency of the general arrangements. Amongst the numerous distinguished visitors assembled in the Grand Stand, we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Beaufort, Duke of Montrose, Marquis of Ai lesbui y, Marquis of Anglesey, Marquis of Bath, Marquis of Conyngham, Marquis of Waterford, Marquis of Drogheda, Marquis of Extter, Marquis of Harting 406.P.47.111,5a11iP ton, Lord Airlie, Lord Arntaley, Lord Daton ws Lord Bessborough, Lord Canterbury, Lord Ches. terfield, Lord Clifden, Lord Colville, Lord Curzon, Lord Dalkeiih, Lord Derby, Lord Durham, Lord Enfield, Lord Euston, Lord Exmouth, Lord F.

Ditto and Physician were the first to make their appearance on the course, and they walked up it as the other cAnpetitors approached the Grand Stand from the paddock. The preliminary canters were quickly ever, and the horses proceeded to the post in a body, and had no sooner quitted the paddock than the spectators were startled with a shout of " They're off," so sudden and unexpected was the start. The lot got away in a cluAer, and a hum of satisfacti on was occas i oned by the ' tact with which Mr. Hibburd had dropped his flag, and re lieved the'spfctators from all suspense. Eclipse was the first to show in advance, but immediately the horses had " got on their legs" Physician rushed to the front, Eclipse keeping company with him for a short distance, when he dropred back, and Fitzßoland went in second with Ditto, Eclipse, Beadsma n , J or d an, H arry Stanley, and the Cyznla; colt in a cluster next; and as nearly as we could make out, in the order named, East Langton and showing in the middle of the ruck, Carmel toiling on several lengths in the rear. At the top of the hill Eclipse ran into the second place, Jordan, Ancient Briton, and Toxopholite all lying well up behind him. and King of Sardinia joining Carmel at the extreme end of the "t til." At the mile-post Fitz Roland repassed Eclipse, who kept on third, Ditto and Beadsman showing well up in their wake, with Toxophilite just behind them. On ascending the hill at Tattenham Coiner, Fitz Roland headed Physician, who soon al erwards gave w a y, Toxo pholite taking second place, with Eclipse, Ditto, Happy Land, Beadsma n , The Hadji, Kelpie,lEast Langton, Longrange, and Ethiopian, next in pur suit. Just before reaching the road, Ditto disap peared from the front and Beadsman took his place. They ran thus to the distance, where Fitz Roland was beaten, Eclipse being left with a slight lead, Toxopholite lying second, Beadsman third, and. The Hadji next. About half way up Eclipse de clined, and Beadsman took close order with Toxo pholite, quitted him opposite the Grand Stand, and won easily by a length, Lord Derby's colt beating The Hadji by two lengths for second place. Four lengths off Eclipse was fourth ; East Langton was a bad fifth, and Fi..z Roland sixth. The next lot comprised Ethiopian, Durnfriep, DittO, and Long range. The last four beaten off were Jordan, Happy Land, Deceiver, and Brother to Bird on the Wing'; Lord Glasgow's Colt was absolutely last. On returning to scale, a little sensation was created by the inability of Wells to draw hi s weight, and it was not till after Beadiman's bridle was brought in that he was declared "all right."

A selection from Boildie u ' s spar k l i ng opera of " La Dame Blanche" was perforated last night, to the great enjoyment of a numerous audience, whose ruddy cheeks betrayed pa - ticipatitn in the " Pythian Games" of the morning and afternoon. It is much to the credit of this est tbl'shment that this pleasing work should have been rescued from comparative obscurity in England for this descrip- tion of illustration. The words have been skilfully collated and translated, and the music is artistically arranged by Mr. Jongarnaus. Mr. A ugus t us Braham, Mr. E. L. Hitne, and Miss Russell take the principal solo parts ; and the choruses, many of which are highly dramatic in their character, are rendered with much finish by the company. We may refer more pat ticularly to the opening chorus of mountaineers, "Hark, hark, the pip es an d h orns are sounding," and the finaleto the last act. Consider able applause was bestowed upon Mr. Augustus Braham for the dashing manner in which he sang the grand aria "Oh what delight to be a soldier," and the char onette (with chorus voice accompani ment), the first in the Opening act, and the latter near the conclusion of the opera. Miss Russell gave the air, " Behold yon fair and ancient mansion," with delicacy of expression and clearness of intona tion. The best proof of the success of this new selection is to be found in the fact that although a holiday audience might naturally he expected to wish to calm the sorrows or heighten the joys arising out of that day's " Derby," by throwing their sym pathies into the comic singing, the more classical per formance-was liaten-Al to with marked but disori minatiug applause. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the younger branches of the royal family, leave Buckingham Pal ace to-day for Osborne, The Qaeen intends, according to present arrangements, to remain in the Isle of Wight until the 28th or 29th inst.

" NANE 0' YOUR FUN !" the " auld lang sync.," a Scotch minister wa s once busy cateehising his young pa rishioners before the congregation, when be put the usual first question to a stout girl, whose father kept a public-hou,e.

D'ye no say when ye cornet() our bowie on a night, 'Bet, bring me some ale?'" The congregation, forgetting the sacredness of the place, were in a 'Dread grin, and the parson looked daggers. Sift JAMES O UTRAM.—Sir Jae. Outram has left Luck now for Calcutta. A letter to a contemporary dated the Gth inst., thu s touchingly mentions ' his departure ' : Gen. Outrarn left yesterday. He did under the sa lute due to his rank' ; hut he left with that which rank cannot claim tier regulations compel the tearful valedic tions of many attached friends, and the affectionate re grets of the whole army. 'how Sir James must have been beloved !' was the pleased exclamation of his successor, Mr. Montgomery, as he watched the General's depar ture from Banks' House-that, now historic mansion w hi c h henceforth know him ne more fur ever. God bless the dear old General !' was uttered by many a manly voice from the D lkoosha to Moose Bagh—from the cantonments to the Residency—in tosses of deep emo tion, arid with the emphasis of unfeigned sincerity. And the bravery, the goodneee, th e tender Leartedness of the fine soldier who had so often led them in battle were the favourite topics of discussion yestet day afternoon, in every guard-room, and at every mess. Well did this true-hearted, chivalric, generous English gentleman merit the love of his troops, for rarely })4 , 4 there been a commander to whom the happiness and well-heing of his men were so much the object of incessant thought. Have you noticed the difference between his d eepatohes and those of most ether generals? With there it is 'l' did this, I' ordered that, Pushed en here, or effected a diver sion there. With him how different ! The whole operations are described as though they had been the spontaneous fits of the individual commanding officers, with no directing mind to regulate their movements. His I's' are limited to ac knowledgments of his obliga tions ! How eager to say a kind word for every one! How th o ughtful about al but himself?"—Bombay Telegraph. THEATRICALS IN THE PROVINCES.—MACCLESFIELD. —Mr. Roberts, the eminent tragedian, from America, has been engaged fur si= re presentations at the Theatre at Macclesfield, where he played Sir Gqes Overreach, Othello, Macbeth, Richard, Hamlet, and King Lear t" crowded and euraptured audiences, iu the whole of which he was most ably sec coded by Miss Leila Forester, a young lady of very coneiderai le talent, who bids fair to become a brilliant star in the theatrical hemisphere. We have frequently had occasion to (p.:ak in terms of high commendation of this youn g lady's acting, and now offer her our warm coegratuletions on the very great success she has achieved, evidently by close and careful study of the best models, without having allowed herself, even in tee most trill ng degree, to become a cop', let. This Miss Forester appears to have mast carefully avoided. On Monday evenin g she played Pauline to Mr. Benson's Claude Melnotte, and acquitted herself in a manner which would have been highly creditable to our London stage at its b rightest epoch. She was re peatedly and enthusiastically applauded. At the termi nation of the play she was vociferously called for, and on being led for ward by Mr. Benson, was received with long-con tieued shouts of applause, by a crowded and somewhat more than usually critical audience, ELECTION RIIIIOURS. -- It was confidently stated in Tynemouth on Monday, says the Mancliester"Guardian,. that in the event of a general election, Mr. ''?%;§.
