As to the debate itself, Lord TEYNHAM seemed, we thought, far too anxious to cite " precedents" which might avail with their Lordships, as if even the precedents of their own House could be of the slightest use when urged on behalf of equal treatment of tenant electors. The strong argu ment for the Ballot is ever the moral one—moral in the widest sense of the word—moral, as being fair towards electors, as being repressive of cor rupt influences of every kind ; and as rendering useless the more sensual and violent immoralities common at elections. The Duke's reply exhibited the grossest ignorance of the question, notwith standing he talked of his having heard so much of it in the House of Commons. For instance, he pretended that to make a compulsory ballot efficient a man must be prohibited from telling how he had voted ! 'Surely no one but a Duke, after all that has been said on the subject, could have repeated such wretched stuff. Our Colonial Secretary was not even aware of the slight though important difference between the Ballot in Victoria and in the other Australian colonies, which pro perly made Lord TEYNHAM prefer the latter as his model. He complained, too, that LordTETNHAmhad not shown the connection between the Ballot and the repression of bribery and intimidation —as if the self-evident connection were not the only reason for their Lordship's aversion to it. Had we been in Lord TEYNHAM'S place, we should, on this point at least, have risen to reply—and or answer would have been in the style of the in scription on Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN'S monument —" If you want proof of the connection you seek, look around." The votes of 39 non-contents proved that Noble Lords saw the connection per fectly clearly between tenant liberties and . the Ballot. T HEA TRE-ROYAL, H.AYMARIOET. Lessee, Mr. J. B. Bnckst one.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1860. We are informed that the export duty upon rags which the Emperor Napoleon proposes to substitute for the absolute prohibition hitherto in force will amount to about 100 per cent. on the price of com mon rags, and 50 per cent. on the price of the boat quality.—Times. tWe find the above in the Ti mes of today. All we can say is, that if our Cabinet will stand being played fast and loose with in this way—in regard to Savoy first, and then in regard to the statement by which they gained a majority an the paper duties in the House of Commons —they will not be Englishmen representing Englishmen, and will be deservedly the laughing stock of Europe. If they do not, despite any treaty whatever, now lay 100 per cent. duty on French common paper, and 50 per cent. on fine paper, they will be held to have disgraced England.—ED. Sun.] The Ballot in the Lords ! Yes, actually one noble lord had the honesty to propose, and three other noble lords the honesty to back him, that the electors on their lordships' estates should be their own political masters. For this—let dukes and other peers twist and pervert the case as they may —this is the gist of the question. Vie will do their lordships the justice to hope that they do like the dirty practice of vulgar bribery—some of them may have found it indeed very serviceable in times gone by, but still it is costly ; it admits the self-created millionaire to competition with their eldest sons, and it is not exactly the nicest way to win an election. If bribery could be put down by itself, if it did not involve putting down political serfdom in the counties, probably the Lords would help in the business. The debate on the Reform Bill last night elicited, As might be expected, little that is new —Mr. DISRAELI, indeed, complained most of its simplicity—it omitted almost everything but simple extension of the franchise, and really let our ingenious ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer little on which to exercise his peculiar faculties. Its faults were chiefly its omissions—a ilew in which we for such opposite reasons entirely con fur. It was complained that it was a Bill to en franchise numbers merely, while the late Govern ment proposed to enfranchise by what were con -1 temptuously termed 4 ` fancy franchises," classes who were fit to hate votes, and that the homogeneous class would dominate the larger boroughs, and return quite a new and diffe rent class of members. He objected also to the re distribution of seats, as going eiiher too far or not far eneugh. Fifteen was the number affected by the hon. gentleman's own bill. We suppose that number • was like Queen ELIZABETH'S stature, in contrast with that of the Queen of SCOTS, " neiti'Mr too high, not too low, but just the thing." The hon• gentle man avowed his intention, m we anticipated, not to oppose the second reading of tha bill, but hoped it would be gracefully withdrawn before the time for meeting on committee arrived! Of course the Radicals had their say, and Mr:. BRIGHT sufficiently showed that the Treaty had not been lost upon him. Far as it was from what the member for Birmingham had advocated, it was as mush as the members of the Government had offered before the general election. They had, therefore, fulfilled their pledge, and he could not but acknowledge a cerresponding claim to support. He proved at length that the number enfranchised would be very much smaller than was calculated, and asked whether—as a million and a half only would have Totes, after all, under the new Bill — this was too large a number out of six or seven millions of male adults. The strange lucubrations of the Times on' the new electors swamping the old constituents was very happily exposed and ridi culed by more than one speaker, by Mr. BRIGHT especially. Nothing indeed could be more absurd than to argue as if the £6 householders to be enfranchised by the bill were all of one class, of one opinion, and of the same social habits. Every member, of any pretension to be called Liberal, refused to regard the bill as a " settle ment." It is a franchise bill, and hardly anything But the difficulty of the case is, that there is but °le known method of repressing the bri bery, the drunkenness, and demoralisation of borough elections, and that is the very one which would extinguish their Lordships' command over their tenantry. The Ballot is, indeed, dreaded for boroughs, for there are great numbers of these where adjacent landlordism reigns supreme ; but it is infinitely more dreaded for counties, for they are political preserves, as jealously guarded as those of their game, in readiness for the grand battue of a general election. It was most amusing to hear the Duke of NEWCASTLE—tho " Lord of Clamber"— the son of the Peer whose argument against the abolition of rotten boroughs was, " that every man had a right to do what he would with his own "—to hear him spouting, like a university lad, on the improving "moral tone" in regard to elections, and that we ought to rely on this to remedy the evils we desired to prevent by the Ballot ! One would suppose that the Duke was yet an under graduate, knew nothing of life, and certainly that he had not come to the management of his own estates. Let the Duke open his eyes, let him look around as Lord of Clumber, let him ask how many of his tenants would think of voting for a candidate whom he opposed—let him ask whether he sedulously keeps his preference for a candidate from the knowledge of those who are dependent on his goodwill for their favours — and then let him further ask—why the extraor dinary unanimity among his tenantry. The truth is, it is the unanimity of politi *al slavery. The unanimity of a gang on a cotton plantation in working for their master. The .tenants know, and have long known, that they have no alternative. Habit has become second nature. The question never arises to their minds, for whom shall we vote—nor indeed more ; even on that point it will not long be accepted as final. But the omission of protection for voters, while creating a yet more dependent class of them, and the retention of such a host of insignificant boroughs, were felt to be two points which would be pressed on the house again and again till something like justice was done. However, we shall take all that is offered us, meagre as it is, and, having got that, set to work immediately to get more. Perhaps, after all, it is better that we should do our work in parts. It koeps alive political dis cussion, and without that we might got politically stagnant. It is clear enough, however, whether it please the Conservatives and the Whigs or not, that the RUSSELL Reform Bill is but the intro duction to an agitation for the Ballot, and for dis franchisement of rotten boroughs. We are glad to find that Sir JOHN SHELLEY who has often afforded material assistance to ques tions which involN ed the assertion of Liberal prin ciples, has obtained leave to bring in a bill for a settlement of the gas controversy. The matter has recently been frequently discussed, both in these columns and elsewhere ; and the dispute arises, as is well known, from the monopoly exercised by the gas companies, and the unequal and exorbitant terms they proposed to the committee of delegates. It is rumoured that the associated companies have recently abated their pretensions, and that a fair and equitable arrangement may now be looked for. We hope this will prove to be the fact, but in any case it will be as well to obtain the opinion of Parlia the question what is politically right Or wrong at all. They and their predecessors have all been cipl era to multiply tenfold and a hun dredfold the landlord's political power ; " True tenants I will, have no will of their own," — the Duke is their will. We have no doubt that the particular Duke of last evening is as amicable as any 4)f that highly intellectual class. We do not think he would starve a tenant for one offence ; though m 'hat his steward would do for persisting in independe soe we cannot tell ; and we think it likely ment, both as a means of a,xpressing more forcibly the public opinion and of, securing a guarantee for the better direction of affairs in future. As matters _ . at present stand the metropolis is divided into gas districts, which are marked in some maps ; these districts are settled by the associated companies, LATEST N >; • The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : ROME, MAncu 19. and a householder may, under the existing system, find himself transferred from one company to another without being consulted. The great hold which this plan gave the gas companies over the consumers was the agreement which they entered into, binding themselves, under heavy penalties, not to interfere with others' districts. Thus the con sumer was absolutely at their mercy. If he re fused to submit to the extortion. or dictation of the company whose place it was to supply him, he must go without gas. This was a state of things per fectly intolerable in a free metropolis, and accord ingly great exertions have been made by the dele gates, and there is a fair prospect of a satisfactory settlement. The companies, relying on their power ful influence, refused to come to terms. They professed, indeed, to be anxious for a compromise, but it soon became evident that they had no inten tion of abandoning one of their alleged rights. The active interference of the honourable member for Westminster has, however, completely altered the aspect of affairs. The solicitors, Parliamen tary agents, and other forces of the companies, put every obstacle in the way, but Sir JOIIN SHELLEY refused to wait longer for their professed modifications. When they fouad that all hope of a compromise was over, and that the affair was to be speedily brought before Parliament, supported by the press and the public, they unexpectedly gave way, and have, it is said, agreed to accept almost all the propositions of the gas consumers. They consent, to a certain extent, to be under the control of the Board of Trade, to submit to inspection, and to bind themselves under penalties to supply gas of a guaranteed illuminating power and a certain degree of purity. The clause of the bill which proposes to fix the minimutn price of the gas they still oppose. This will be settled in committee, when the arguments brought forward by the companies will probably be satisfactorily disposed of. Their objections are clearly answered, in the following passage, taken from an able sum mary of the snbject :—" If the companies can manage to satisfy the Committee on Gas Bills that , it would be unjust to tie them down to a fixed price, because the value of the raw material fluc tuates, well and good, and the consumer will have no right to complain. But that they will be able to do so is very doubtful, for the simple reason that the ground upon which they rely—viz , that the price of coal has frequently varied, and that there have been times when, if they had been compelled to supply gas at the present average price of 4s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet, they would have suffered severe loss—does not now apply. Since the formation of railways, the coal fields are now brought in direct communication with • the metropolis, and London is therefore no longer dependent upon shipping for its supplies. Even in the severest winter railways can bring any amount of the best coal that is re quired, so that there is not the slightest chance of coal in London reaching the very high price it did some ten years ago, during a remarkably severe frost. Again, there is nothing to be apprehended from the value of coal being largely enhanced through strikes, because the coal fields are so ex tensive and various, that it is hardly possible to conceive a strike could become so general as mate rially to affect the metropolitan supply. But those who have so ably conducted this gas controvert' on the part of the consumers are well aware of the arguments that aro to be used, and the consumers may safely leave their case in their hands." If the companies are faithful to their pledges the bill will be read a second time wltheut opposition, and will then be referred to the consideration of the committee. Sir JOHN SHELLEY deserves great praise for the firm and temperate manner in which he has conducted the affair, which we may hope will receive a satisfactory settlement long before the termination of this session. The news published by some Paris journals that the Pope had requested France to recall her troops from Rome and Ciyitta Vecchia, in order to re place them by Neapolitan troops, is without fowl- dation. No demand of such a nature has been remitted to the French Cabinet, either _directly or directly. MADRID, MARCH 19. The Correspondencia Autografa contains the following :—" As the Moors will only consent to pecuniary sacrifices as the conditions of peace, war must be continued. " This evening there will be a full Council of Ministers." VIENNA, MARCH 19. Austria, considering the annexation of Central Italy to Piedmont as a flagrant violation of the treaty of Zurich, which formally reserved the rights of the deposed Princes, has resolved to adjourn the renewal of official relations with the court of Turin. In consequence of this resolve Baron de Brenner, who was to fulfil the function of representative of Austria at Turin, has returned to his former post at Athens. PARIS, MARCH 20. The Moniteur contains a list of persons to whom decorations of the Legion d'Honneur are given for services rendered to our army in Italy. NAPLES, MARCH 17.

The police checked the re volt. Eighty individuals who were compromised fled over the frontier. TURIN, MARGIT 18. A royal decree convokes the electoral assemblies of the Emilian provinces for the 25th March. Another decree appoints 15 new senators. MARCH 19.

The report of the Stuttyarder Beobachter that the French Ambassador at Munich had already spoken of a cession of the Palatinate to France has been officially contradicted. MADRID, MARCH 18. It is asserted that Generals Prim, Rios, and Zabala have been raised to the dignity of Grandees of Spain of the first class. For some weeks past the exertion and anxiety consequent on the getting up of a new series of concerts, upon which M. Jullien calculated estab lishing in the French capital the high reputation which he had gained in the course of 20 years in England, proved too much for a temperament at all times keenly sensitive and excitable, and loss of rea son was the result. On Sunday, the 12th, M. Jullien's first concert was to have been given, and great curi osity and interest prevailed in Paris, but that con eert was n ever destined to take place. Twodays previ ocely M. Jallien was conveyed to a private lunatic as y„lurn, having exhibited the worst phases of mad ness, and his medical attendants entertained no hope w.thitever of a speedy cure. In consequence of some se vt re course of antiphlogistic treatment, the patient"; caught a severe cold, which fastened on his lungs, a nd terminated in inflammation. I‘l. Jullien's reasini returned some hours previously to his decease, anu l after receiving the last sacraments, he passed away iii perfect consciousness of what was going on arcnlad him. His last words re lated to a hymn whiel; he had not long since coin posed, and called a Noolionienne, from its being in honour of the Emperor of the French. " Let it be sent," he said, "to his Majesty. It will perhaps procure bread for my poor wife." M. Jullien has left a widow and two adopted children, one of whom, a fine young mart of two-and-twenty, engaged himself some months back in a French lancer regiment, in order not to be a burden on M. Jullien in his misfortunes. The other, a girl, lives with Mme. Jullien, and is, like the widow, totally unprovided for. We indulge in the hope of seeing the subscription which has been commenced in Eng land extended to Paris , p articularl y as some gentl men, who appreciate the labours of M. Jullien in popularising good music among the masses, have expressed their intention of forwarding the benevo lent object as much as lies in their power.— Galiq na 71i. LISBON, MARCH 18.

HANO VER, MONDAY Hanover proposed an indemnity as a basis for negotiations in universal conferences concerning the redemption of the Stade Dues. England refused to agree to the amount pro posed. TUE MINISTERIAL REFORM BILL.—The house was chiefly occupied last night in the discussion of the New Reform Bill of the Palmerston Cabinet. The debate arise on the motion of Lord John Rus sell for the second reading of the bill. Mr. Disraeli assailed the measure in a speech of considerable length, and Mr. W. F. Campbell, in au address of great ability, pointed out in clear and conclusive terms the incongruities and shortcomings of the bill. The measure is really so great a delusion that no one feels the slightest interest in it. It will not cost the country a moment's concern whether the bill be carried or rejected. It is a miserable mea sure, and nothing more nor less than a mockery of the people's wishes and rights. The debate was adjourned.-31ornitly Advertiser. The Earl and Countess Delawarr and Lady Arabella Sackville West will shortly leave town fur Buck hurst Park, Sussex. Negotiations are being continued. FRANCE.

It has been proposed at Edinburgh that a public entertainment should be given to the 78th Highlanders in recognition of their eminent services in India. A prelimi nary meeting will be held to-morrow on flee subject, at which Sir John 31.'Neill, Sir IV. Gibson Craig, and Sir J. Gs Baird, are expected to be present. PARIS, TUESDAY. The action for libel against the Bishop of Orleans was continued on Saturday before a more thronged court than on the previous days. After the plead ings had terminated, Mgr. Dupanloup rose and spoke for three quarters of an hour. The court then, after due deliberation, declared the complaint of the Siecle to be unfounded, and acquitted the defendant on the charge against him. As regarded the complaint of the heirs of Mgr. Rousseau, the defendant was also acquitted, the French law not admitting any charge for defamation against a per son deceased. The parties civiles, in both cases, were condemned to pay the costs.

" It is not probable, nor is it indeed to be desired that the Government of the Two Sicilies should continue for any long time to form a marked con trast to the Government of Northern and Central Italy. " It is, therefore, the obvious interest of the King of the Two Sicilies to gain the affections of his people by attention to their welfare, and by re specting the principles of law and of justice in his treatment of suspected persons.—l am, &e., " J. RussELL." The following important extract from a letter by Lord John Russell explains the policy of Great Britain in its bearing upon Naples : " LORD J. RUSSELL TO MR. ELLIOT. " Foreign• office, Jan. 16, 1860. " It may be as well to explain still further to Prince Satriano, and through him to the King, the policy of the British Government. Your language to his Excellency on this sub ject is entirely approved by her Majesty's Govern ment. We wish well to the Neapolitan dynasty. We have no desire to interfere with the internal government of Naples and Sicily. But we cannot blind ourselves to some obvious truths. It is evident that the commonest rules of justice are not observed by the King of Naples towards his subjects; that the exasperation caused by oppression is the parent of plots, assassinations, conspiracies, and insurrec tions ; that her Majesty's agents and consuls, while they religiously abstain from taking a part in such plots, have had convincing evidence of their ex istence. " Should such conspiracies endanger the throne of his Sicilian Majesty, her Majesty's Government can only lament the blindness which afflicts his Coun cil. But her Majesty's Government will neither accept any part of their responsibility nor under take to ward off the consequences of a misgovern ment which has scarcely a parallel in Europe. " The reforms necessary require no elaborate ma chinery or profound meditation. Let the Neapo litan Government arrest no man without bringing him face to face with his accusers. Let them sub- ject no man to injurious restrictions without proof of some crime or offence against public order ; let the law, as it stands, be equally applied to all. With these simple but broad changes, a beginning would be made ; popular institutions might follow ; time for deliberation would be gained, and the Go vernment might even obtain a reputation for justice and honesty. But the course at present pursued can only lead to destruction. "You will speak to Prince Satriano in the sense of this dispatch, and also to M. Carafe if he should raise the question with you."

A collection of despatches, addressed by Mr Henry Elliot, our Minister at Naples, to Lord John Russell, was published yesterday These letters contain many very important facts, bearing upon the existing outrages, committed under the miser able plea of law and authority, which now disgrace the Government of that country. The despatches which we subjoin sufficiently set forth the general character of the official despatches which the infamous tyrannies, and the acts of personal violence the agents of the law, in the name of the King, are in the habit of perpetrating, have called forth from our accredited Minister at the Court of Naples : " MR. ELLIOT TO LORD J. RUSSELL. (Received March 8.) " Naples, March 2. "My Lord,—A short time ago I forwarded to your lordship a copy of a circular from the Minister of Police directing the Intendants to arrest, with out hesitation, the persons against whom there might be even simple grounds for suspicion. " The Government have now shown themselves determined to go a step further, and yesterday pro ceeded to arrest men upon whom no suspicion of taking part in any conspiracy can fall. " Of the number of persons arrested I can give your lordship no accurate information, though I am told they were numerous in the middle and lower classes, but among my own friends or ac quaintances, and belonging to the highest families, I can count five who have either been actually ar rested or else have found safety in concealment; these are—the Prince Torella, the Marquis de Bella (brother to Prince Torella), Prince Camporeale, Duke Proto, Marquis Vulcano. " Prince Torella received a letter desiring him to attend at the Prefecture of Police, which he did, nothing doubting, and was there told to consider himself under arrest, and to have his preparations made for leaving the kingdom the following morn ing. He made no resistance, but asked leave to be allowed to return home to make his preparations, and to take leave of a very aged mother • but this indulgence was refused him , nor could he Obtain any information with regard to the crime imputed to him. " The arrest, however, of the Prince, and the universal conviction that no justification could be given for it, produced so great an effect upon all classes that the same night he was set at liberty and allowed to return home. " We are now told that it was all a mistake ! " His brother, the Marquis Bella, eluded the pur suit of the police, but it has been conveyed to him that he must leave the country. " Prince Camporeale likewise succeeded in hid ing himself, but he has since been allowed to return home; and, in his case, like that of Prince Torella, the order for the arrest is now said to be a mistake. " Duke Proto and Marquis Vulcan() have been arrested and ordered into, ezcile, trial or examination. " There are likewise two Marquises Monte Rossi, and the MM. Vacca, De Simone, and two De Philippe, summarily ordered into exile. Of the two last-named gentlemen, one is a lawyer, and the other an employe of the Government, and both leave behind them families depending entirely upon them for their means of subsistence, and who will now be left penniless and dependent upon charity. " During the afternoon and night of yesterday the town was patrolled, and the troops kept under arms, but no sort of disturbance took place, though the Government affirm that they had positive proof that there was to be a dangerous demonstration, and that a seditious handbill had been posted up. "Whatever evidence may be sufficient to satisfy the Government of the existence of plots or conspi racies, it is certain that the proofs are not such as would bear the light; but the denunciations of spies are received as conclusive, and the accused are summarily ordered into baaishment, untried and unheard. I will inform your lordship by the messenger on Tuesday of the steps I have taken with the hitherto vain hope of inducing the Government to pause in a course which, if persisted in, must finally lead to the destruction of the King and of his dynasty.--I have, &c. " HENRY ELLIOT." " MR. ELLIOT TO LORD J. RUSSELL. (Received March 13.) " Naples, March 3. "My Lord,—l took the earliest opportunity of seeing M. Carafa to inquire the cause of the arrests mentioned in my despatch of yesterday's date, and to ask whether the country was in so imminently critical a state as to call for such extreme measures, directed against men who could scarcely be seriously suspected of conspiracy or treason. " M. Carafa repeated, as he has so often done before, that the. Government felt no uneasiness, but that they had received undoubted information of the intention of the partisans of annexation to Sar dinia of making a demonstration which it would have been necessary to suppress by force ; and that to avoid bloodshed, the preventive measures which I had alluded to had been taken ; and his Excel lency triumphantly pointed to the tranquillity with which the day had passed as conclusive evidencCin favour of the course adopted. " I said that, of course, . if the Government had the proof which he said they possessed of a con spiracy to violate the law, they could not be blamed for arresting the persons implicated ; but I trusted there were no truth in the report that those persons, instead of being openly brought to trial, where their guilt or innocence might be proved in the face of day, were to be summarily transported or exiled without trial or examination, "To my regret, however, M. Carafa replied that such was the decision of the Government; for that although they had proof sufficient to satisfy them selves of the guilt of the persons arrested, the evi dence was not such as would prOcure a conviction in a court of justice. f " in plainer words,' I answered, you have re• solved to accept as conclusive the derninciationa of spies whom you dare not bring face to face with the accused, and this, without apparent s hame, M. Carafa frankly admitted to be the state of,the case, repeating that he was aware they could not procu u re a legal conviction, but that they had no dobt whatever of ?he guilt of the accused. " I asked whether he or any one else could be lieve that a man like Princa Torella would be a leader in a seditious but childish demonstration, and he at once replied that he did not believe it, and that the Prince's arrest had been an ` error' which was speedily remedied. I begged NI. Carafa not to talk of a man in Prince Torella's position being arrested by mistake, for that the only error' which was evident was a mis calculation of the effect upon the public which had been produced by the arrest. " I asked whether Prince Camporeale, who had concealed himself, was a dangerous character, and with regard to him I was told that I might convey to him the assurance that he might return home without being molested. " I then said that the Marquis de Bella had beau told that if he gave himself up he should receive. passports for the frontier, but that he dared not put himself in the hands of the police, as innocence no longer protected a man front punishment in a LYCEUM THEATRE. A new drama was produced last night at this theatre, under the title of "The Abbe Vaudreuil, or the Court of Louis XV.," Madame Celeste herself assuming the charac ter which gives the leading title to the piece—a composi•• tion which is not only a highly creditable member of that numerous progeny springing out of the development r f character during that great transition period of the history of the world, but exhibits in its representation one of the most accomplished performers of the day. The story "in brief" is—that Lieut. Delcour (Mr. 'Vil liers) is desperately in love with a lady whose name discloses her rank, Madlle. Marie de Rohan (Miss Hudspeth), but is regarded in a very slighting manner by the haughty family to which that name belongs, and has little hope of acquir ing the young lady. The play opens with the young lieu • tenant, doubtful of being received by the family, sitting in his room, driving away the thoughts of his love by cram ming himself for his examination for the rank of captain. He takes up the historical part of his study, and very natu rally turns his attention to the most brilliant, though most disastrous, period of modern French history, viz., that of Louis XV. The design of the author appears to be—al though this is scarcely well defined—that our young lieu tenant, having fallen asleep, the unrestrained machinery of the brain begets a picture of the possible incidents which may accompany his interrupted love, and this machinery of the dreamland is put in action as the drama of the " Abbe Vaudreuil." The dreaming lieutenant, then, imagines in his sleep that some one will rob him of Madlle. de Behan, and that he would willingly sacrifice his hopes of the. future for the gratification of the present. At this precise time of ideal action—if we may use the expres sion—the Abbe Vaudreuil (the representative of the pro fligate abbes so renowned in the memoirs of the period)' appears on the scene, and makes a bargain with the young' soldier that all his wishes shall be accomplished, on one condition—namely, that after five requests are complied with, he shall go " down below." The young man, excited, signs the bond, and having opened the account, very soon begins to draw upon it—with such rapidity, indeed, that he is frequently cautioned by the honourable representative of the lower regions to be careful how soon the obligations of the bond may be enforc e d. We will not follow out all the phases of the design of the author, but amongst the most striking incidents of the drama is that where Delcour insists upon the obligations of his "fiend," and demands to be introduced to the Pare aux Cerfs, at one of the fetes of Louis XV., where he may see the celebrities of the day, as de Richelieu, Volteire, Montesquieu, Buffon, Vauban, Crebillon, &c., &c., and the superb de Pompadour (charmingly represented y Miss Kate Saville). This gives occasion to one of the most brilliant scenes we ever witnessed on any stage. The admirable artistic talent of Mr. W. Callcott realised all that could be desired of the locality in which the fete is supposed to be given, whilst there can be little doubt, we can imagine, as to the source of inspiration which embodies so successfully in living cha racters the charming compositions of Watteau. So nice a care has been exhibited in the preserving the costumes, the amusements, the music of the dances, as well as the figures themselves, which belong to the period, that one might almost fancy that by some act of enchantment the little lords and ladies who figure in our choice collections of Dresden china "had been by magic all set dancing." It is to Madame Celeste, we understand, that the exquisite arrange ment of the whole of this brilliant and charming scene is to be attributed. The graceful, though somewhat stately minuet (le la cow' of the character, of which all the dances of the fete scene partook, was executed by Madame Celeste her self and Miss Hudspeth with exquisitely severe elegance and refinement ; and it is but justice to say that the move ments of the entire corps de ballet appeared to be animated by the same spirit which exhibited itself in so remarkable desa manner in the atniable and intelligent la d y who presi over the management. It would be impossible to enum erate in a general review all the striking pas sa g es in this drama which have been elaborated with a r efinement of art quite unusual on the London boards, but we should not t discharge as wel as to the a conscientious duty it' we did not direct attention to the extraordinary artistic skill displayed by Madame_ Celeste, nor are the other is the character, of the Abbe, • i riraination judgment of colour and form marvellous command and les. The original dress in her various costive dress of the Abbe is one of the most complete studies of the dVraenst,deyskleessichroomolasrsk-eabeiso,erfosratwasrt eeparhodduciciesdo Add to this, that Madame Celeste shows so much true talent over all she undertakes, and in this particular character o treads the boards with such an air thigh breedine. that wo ' en ture to say no dramatiorepresent .' atio n 4n London in at the present moment would afford so much gratifi cat i on to lovers of this class of composit.on as "The Abbe Vaudreuil." To be hypercritical in reference to rt p i ece which pos sesses so many remarkable points of excellence isa seine what ungracious task, and we trust that the few observations we are about to make may be accepted i n the spirit in which they are given, name ly, a desire to assist in producing a greater completeness in the representation.

Last evening a very numerously-attended and highly -respectable public meeting was held at the Barnsbury Hall, Barnsbury-street, Islington, con vened by the promoters of this undertaking, for the purpose of eliciting the feelin ,, of the inhabitants of the district in reference to the proposed People's Palace. The chair was taken by Mr. J. R. M'Arthur. The CirAntmAN, in opening the proceedings of the evening, said he had been called upon to take the chair at this meeting, and if any influence he pos sessed in connection with the Literary Institution of Islington could be exerted in favour of the un dertaking for the erection of a " palace for the people" at Muswell-hill, he should be happy to exercise it. He contended that such a struc ture could not but be beneficial to every class of the community. He forcibly dwelt on the marvellously-improved tastes of the people, and to all that had been done to promote progress, and to the realisation of that which in former years had been regarded as a dream. The time had arrived when the people required a better sort of entertainment than that which had satisfied them many years ago. Thus they witnessed places of public entertainment thrown open to the pebple at low prices, and there was one instance or more where a picture gallery had been added to the charms of good music, which were enjoyed at the lowest possible charge. The proprietors of theatres had given up the idea of high prices, and by the numbers who patronised them they were enabled to secure the services of eminent artists. In the pro jected concert room of this intended building 10,000 people could be accommodated apart from any ob jectionable influences. Having described the beauties of the scenery in the vicinity of Muswell hill, the speaker observed that there were two ques tions asked, first, could the people pay for it ? and, next, would they pay for these advantages ? Now, could they pay for it ? Why, the people as a mass could pay for anything. Why, 15 years ago he had made a calculation that the people spent in wines and spirits as much as £50,000,000. If they took one-tenth of that population, they 'would spend £5,000,000 on wines and liquors. They did not want £5,000,000 here, for the whole amount of capital required was but £600,000, which at 5 per cent. would be £30,000. What would not the people pay for? If they went out for a holiday , they required something more than dry instruc tion—they required intellectual recreation. A change had come over these matters. Formerly authors starved because they wrote for the few ; whereas they now write for the multitude, and be came rich men. He instanced the vast sale of the Cornliill Magazine as another instance of the im proved feeling of the people ; 450 years ago the great Chaucer had dreamed of a temple of glass, and that dream had been realised in the present age. The hon. gentleman concludedan able speech by calling upon the meeting to support this splen did undertaking of erecting a palace in a locality of surpassing beauty. Mr. rOIIN MA.STERMAN rose to state the objects of the directors and the steps which had been taken to give effect to their intentions. He had himself two years since visited a friend near Colney Hatch, and was struck with the immense population on this side of the river, and he made some inquiry as to the means of amusement which they had, and he found that the population on the north side of the Thames was five times larger than that on the south, but he found no place of importance where recreation and amuse ment were to be found. He found there were nu merous cemeteries and a large lunatic asylum—(a laugh)—and it struck him that such a state of things could not go on. He found out a very desirable plot of ground, being a property adjoining the railway, which was for sale, and in bargaining for the pur chase, he made it a condition at the outset that the parties must by no means anticipate a further value on the land, but be content with the marketable value. The area of 450 acres was taken, instead of • limiting the purchase to 150 acres, for the palace and grounds. He knew that the Crystal . Palace Company had made the fortunes of many land owners, and he thought it fair that this company should partake largely of the benefits which they were about to confer upon others. Sir Charles Fos had accompanied him for a day, and that gentleman went over the estate, and he was perfectly satisfied. He then consulted " Mr. Spencer, of Bowood, who gave a decided opinion that the ground was well adapted for the growth and protection of flowers and shrubs. Mr. Owen Jones had devoted a whole month to the consideration of his plans, and he de' cided to build an edifice which should surpass ail' thing that had ever before been seen. It had been determined to do nothing in hostility to the existing Crystal Palace. He trusted there would be only 1 ' reflected light from one to the other in the deternW nation to provide rational and refined amusements for the people; but the promoters were determine that wherever experience could be brought to b ear a they should correct the errors which had been shown in connection with the Crystal Palace, and to im prove upon their arrangements as far as the wants of the public hod been nseertained. There was one thing which had annoyed the visitors to the Crystal Palace, and that was the descer t° and ascents after le av i ng th e ra il way station, willac, r was like undergoi ng th e m i ser i es of a middle passage ; that difficulty would be entirely remove"' here. The passenger would be brought into the building with only 48 steps, and visitors on horse' back or in carriages would be under cover and sheltered from the elements. The concert room would hold 10,000 persons, and they would sit ik comfort, aye, and in luxury. The building would be built on the best acoustic principles, and would be devoted entirely to music. Upon the temporal arrangements made at the Crystal Palace that conk' pany had improved, but they had not been success: ful because the original arrangements were .not good. At the Crystal Palace the tropical depart' merit was at the further end ; here it would be under the centre, and the dome would be twice the spiel of that of St. Paul's, and it would be heated veil cheaply. The second principle they laid down wag , that unless they found, upon most careful examinv tion, that the undertaking could be carried out at a cost which would yield a profit of 10 per cent., they would not proceed further with it, and the directors considered they were within the mark when they calculated on 10 per cent. only. The third principle was one of a tender character—the directors had determined to keep the palace and ;rounds closed on the Lord's-day—(great cheering) —though they had support tendered to them front persons who were anxious to pursue the con' trary course, but whose assistance they refused. (Applause.) Lord Brougham had declared that the undertaking was calculated, in his deliberat e opinion, to best° w inestimable blessings uls° ll , society, and that it would succeed as a eommerma s speculation. Lord Torrington was the hardworr ing chairman of the company, who was absent, he was sorry to say, from illness. The directors of the Great Northern Railway had put themselves for' ward to aid the scheme. He trusted that those who joined them would contribute to an undertaking which would be the honour and glory of th e country. In reply to a question put by Mr. Edmiston, Sir C. Fox stated that the estimate would not be exceeded, that he never had in his experience e' ceeded his estimate. The estimate he had given in to the directors of £200,000 for the building 0 4 , sufficient, and, said. he, "it shall be sufficient. (Applause.) Mr. HAZLEWOOD entered at great length into th e financial view of the question, and referred to a Ya B t number of items in a printed comparative s tate' meat, showing the great difference of charge between those of the Crystal Palace and this un; dertaking, the difference being £1,459,000 again £400,000 for the People's Palace. Mr. HOLLAND proposed the first resolution That the explanations given to this meeting by r the promoters of the palace of the p eo pl e at well-hill with respect to the nature of the unne, taking arid its financial prosp ec t s , are hi g hly sat' factory." Seconded by Mr. UZIELLI. Mr. EDMISTON moved the second reso luticO c i " That this meeting fully approves of the prope,s e e o palace of the people, which the meeting consi°,, will prove very beneficial to the neighbourhood . Seconded by Mr. TEULON. b lic Mr. KING said such a palace had become a pt itc l necessity. After some remarks he moved the th to resolution, " That this meeting pledges itselsor support the Great Northern Palace Coral ) 0 0 (Limited), which has been formed for the pl o y of constructing the Palace of the People' at well Hill." Mr. S. TEULON seconded the resolution. o ce° Several speakers warmly supported the ment. - - - A p a to SeTeral applications for share were forwar," - „,cre the chairman, and the proceedings throughout marked by the greatest cordiality of feeling:. c JOANMr. JON MASTERMAN moved. and Si r ied Fox seconded, the resolution, which was e 3:r ee t• unanimously, "That the best thanks of the '" v er ing be given.to the chairman for the able m 3ll in which he has presided over the meeting.
