The approach of another Season lays upon the Direction of Her Majesty's Theatre the welcome duty of acknowledging the continued kindness and confidence by which its friends have never failed to supply a sure guarantee of success, and a constant stimulus to new exertions. The past year was distinguished by events which call for especial recognition. Thegracious selection of Her Majesty's Theatre as the scene of the Royal Festivities, on the auspicious occasion of the nuptials of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, has added new lustre to the historical distinction which the Opera House has so long enjoyed as the favourite resort of the Court and Aristocracy of Britain. The Director has again to record his grateful appreciation of the noble and munificent encouragement which, after achieving the re-establishment of the Theatre, has continued, with discriminating taste, to guide and sustain the efforts made in each successive year to maintain for the Opera of London its fitting place among the Musical Institutions of Europe. That position is now amply recognised in every Continental capital, and the approving verdict of the audi ence of Her Majesty's Theatre is universally accepted as the highest testimonial which an artist can produce. The last year has contributed to extend, as well as toelevate the influences of the establishment, and to exhibit it in the largest sense as a National Institution. The Subscribers, by whose effective encouragement during the Season the experi ment of a supplementary series of popular performances was alone rendered possible, will have the gratification of know ing that they have not only secured and improved for them selves their accustomed recreation, but have been the means of conferring upon a wider circle the refined enjoyments of the highest musical art. The Operatic features of the last season must still be fresh in the memory of all. Besides other additions to the talent secured in former years, the resources of the Theatre were enriched by the acquisition of a tenor whose artistic genius and unsurpassed sweetness of voice were instantaneously re cognise lby the judgment of musical connoissieurs, and by the instinctive appreciation of every lover of melody. The Direction have been fortunate enough to retain the invaluable aid of Mdlle. Piccolomini, Signor Giuglini, and all the vocalists who contributed to past successes; and is able to announce, in the approaching debut of Madlle. Titiens, an event which it is believed will distinguish the season of 1858 as the first appearance of Signor Giuglini marked that of 1857. It is seldom that nature lavishes on one person all the varied gifts which are needed to form a great soprano. A voice whose register entitles it to el dm this rank is of the rarest order. The melodious quality and power, which aro not less essential than an extended reg - ster, are scarcely more cc mmon. Musical knowledge, executive finish, an i perfect intonation are indispensable ; and to these the prima donna should add dramatic force and adaptability, and a large measure of per sonal grace. Even these rare endowments will not suffice uuless they are illumined by the fire of genius. How nearly the high ideal is approached by Madlle. Titiene, and how much more nearly it may hereafter be reached under the same genial encouragement which has developed the powers of so many aspirants, the friends of the opera will have an early epportu ity of judging. The Director has again the satisfaction of espressin , g his sincere gratitude to all his artistic friends within the theatre, for the unfailing seat and devotion which have enabled him to record the completion of another season without a single deviation from the perfoi mances announced. The performances will commence immediately after Easter with the debut of Madlle Titiens, and Signor Giuglini's first appearance here in Meyerbeer's grand opera of '‘ Gli Ugo notti," on the preparation of which the utmost efforts have been bestowed to make it in every way worthy of the occasion. At an early period Verdi's Opera of " Luisa Miller" will be given for the first time in this country, when Madlle. Piccolomini will sustain the part of the heroine. The English School of Composition will be represented by "La Zingara "of Balfe. The repertoire will be selected from the works of Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Donizetti, Bellini. in whith Madlles. Piccolomoni, Spezia, Ortolani, and Signori Giuglini, Belart, Vialetti, and others have won the appreciation of the subscribers The Ballet will be supported by Madlle. Pocchini (for whom a New Ballet has been expressly composed, to be produced early in the season), by nadlle. Marie Taglioni, Madlle. Bos chetti, Madame Rosati, and other favourites, and by Madlle. Orsini, who will make her first appearance early in the Sea son. Each performance will be made as effective as possible, and the Director hopes, by unceasing exertions, to meet the con• tinued confidence of the subscribers and the public. OPERA. Madlle. THERESA.

The First Act will comprise a scene, drawn from nature on the picturesque banks of the Loire, the locality of the action. The other scenes will present features of great interest. The Dresses will be historically correct. Shortly afterwards will be produced (first time at this theatre) Verdi's Opera of LUISA MILLER, the Libretto founded on the celebrated Drama of Schiller, "Xabale and Liebe," Other Novelties are in contemplation, and the engagement of Madlle.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1858. It seems to be now generally understood that the first great battle between the " ins" and " the outs" will take place on the Government of India Bills, the rival projects of Lords DERBY and PALMERSTON. We confess we wi,h that it had been otherwise. It will not give the people of India a very favourable impression as to their prospects under Parliamentary Government. When they learn that a matter of such vital im portance to 150,000,000 of her MAJZSTY'S sub jects in the East, and involving so many important interests, both at home and abroad, should be made the ground of a factious opposition against the actual occupants of office, and of a merely political contest. The object of (fa persons, without exception, should be to render the measure that must be carried as efficient as possible, and for that purpose, to work harmoniously together, selecting the best parts of each scheme, and gracefully to yield points of minor importance. But such, unfortunately, is not the case. There is no subject that has been so incessantly attacked by the Times, and its servile flock of imitators amongst the public journals, by the Times led— men who, unable to think or reason for themselves, swallow with implicit faith all that the Times is pleased to enunciate ex cathedra, or by the small politicians of the Rouse of Commons and the clubs, who look only to men, and are profoundly indifferent to measures, caring only that the dis tribution of patronage should. be in the bands of those from whom they might hope to obtain something for themselves or their proteges. These onslaughts are too systematic to be accidental. Day after day, the Leviathan hurls its ponderous missiles, deserting the principles it once professed, and varying the attack in every possibly way ; while those who derive their inspiration from its columns re-echo its arguments, and with ominous nods, assert that " the Government schomo can never work 1" As an instance, we may refer to the first leader in the Times of Monday, which clearly indicates the character of the opposition offered. The thunder is directed mainly against what it is pleased to term " The New Democratic Consti tution for India." The representative principle which professing Liberals were once accustomed to boast of as the best and most eligible that could be devised, must now, according to the oracle of Printing-hou , e-square, be regarded as a mockery and delusion, something altogether antiquated and obsolete, and by no means suited to the spirit of the age. If large constituencies are entrusted with elective powers, there must necessarily be a breach of trust. It is not men of high character and unblemished reputation that will be selected, but broken-down merchants—persons bankrupt alike in character and. pocket, who will, by the simple process of popular election, be pitchforked into places of trust and emolument for which they would be by no means qualified. It is certainly not complimentary to the electors cf London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and Belfast to suppose that "five Micawbers" could by any possibility be " introduced into public life under the auspices of the Ministerial Bill." It de clares that "a thousand a year and little to do is the very thing for the turning up' of which this amiable class aro continually waiting ;" adding—" Indeed, we rather think that the bene volent mind of Mr. DISRAELI must have contem plated these very persons as the object of his bounty." And again, after proceeding to show that no prosperous trader, or retired trader in good circumstances, would think of accepting the office, sums up in these terms —" It seems, then, that the very object of Mr. DISRAELI'S bounty must be the unfortunate trader, and that we have in this part of the Bill a clever expedient for neutralising the injustice often done by Bank ruptcy Commissioners, and sometimes, we grieve to say, by juries, to gentlemen who have been unfortunate iu business, and we congratulate the great constituencies, who are to elect five of the Councillors upon the qualification of members, which leaves them so fair a prospect of a selection from the noble army of bankrupts." Reader, the above extracts are not from the Moniteur, or any acknowledged organ of a des potic Government. Nor are they taken from those whose business and pleasure of late have been turning into contempt and disrepnte the time-honoured institutions of the United King dom. They are from the Times —the pro.. fessedly liberal Times ; and the object is to bring back a professedly liberal party to p ower in the place of those who offer " a new democratic constitution to India," and recog nise the principle of representation ! What really consistent Liberal can be led astray by such flimsy pretexts—such shallow devices ? What sincere Radical can support a party with liberality tuner uu,a;u3, T4r):31,1 iu their i hearts, agaihst men who desire to be judged, not : by their "sayings," but by their " doings," who wisk rather to exceed than to fall short of their promises, and, instead of cautiously concealing b air intentions, place them fairly before the com rfaunity, and invite discussion and criticism ? The objects of the bills are similar. The guiding principle in both cases is to substitute the direct government of the Crown for the moribund Company, now " stretched on its political death bed." The details on which differences may arise consist of—the number and composition of the Council ; and the qualification, if any, that should be required in its members. Surely these are matters that may be temperately and fairly dis cussed in committee, without being made the topics of such virulent and incessant attacks, which may, however, defeat themselves, as they must disgust every disinterested and independent man who is disposed to consider both measures on their substantial merits. It is said that the Budget will be introduced on Friday the 16th instant, and that on that day the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have the opportunity of propounding his financial scheme, and exhibiting qualifications for the most arduous and least popular office in the gift of the Crown. The duties on the present occasion will be peon. liarly difficult. The Right Hon. Gentleman must, as the Lord Mayor remarked, provide for " the little bill" bequeathed by his predecessor, for which he himself is in no way responsible. He will nut be troubled with a surplus, the great stumbling block of Sir CHARLES WOOD, when he occu. pied the position. He has succeeded to a dammosa hereditas, Insolvent Estates which he must manage so a 3 to pay all claimants. It is not, at this moment, that there is a deficiency. As yet there is enough in the Exchequer to pay all demands. But there are matters coming to maturity that must be met, and for which Mr. DISRAELI must provide the ways and means. There will be a deficit of at least six, and probably nearer scron, millions to be made up, of which three and a half millions may be regarded as payment of capital—viz., the 2,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds falling due in May (with an equal amount next year), and 1,500,0001. sinking fund towards the liquidation of the war debt. The Exchequer Bonds could be renewed with the greatest facility, and as we have repeatedly pointed ont, they ought to be renewed. It was never intended at the time of the " ventilation" of the GLADSTONE abortion that the stock, for which notice of payment was given, should all be re deemed in money. A different kind was ten dered for acceptance, which it was supposed would have been eagerly accepted. Even the Oxford pet would scarcely have proposed denuding the FbrAhequer of its balances for the purpose of pay ing off ten millions that were totally uncalled for. Nor would he, after the breaking out of the Russian war, have ventured in his place in Parlia ment to designate it as " a valuable finan cial demonstration." It was intended that it should remain a portion of the debt, and the tax-paying community of the present generation have a right to demand that the 2,000,0001., improperly paid last year, should be replaced in the Exchequer, and the 2,000,0001. falling due in May provided for by the issue of new bills. This would at once give 4,000,0001. sterling, or perhaps a little more ; as in the pre sent state of the money-market they would pro bably sell at a handsome premium, which would go far towards meeting the anticipated defi ciency. But the income-tax is also to he reduced to 5d., by which there will be a loss of 2,000,000/. to the revenue. There can be no doubt that Sir G. C. LEWIS would propose that matters should remain in, static quo for the next two years, and Mr. DISRAELI might do the same, although he objecbd because it w. 1,3 not clear that it would be required. But circumstances changed. The Indian mutiny broke out and heavy expenses were entailed on the country—expenses which occasion a consideratble portion of the deficit. But still we hope that the Right Hon. 'Durable Gentleman will do better. He has a glorious opportunity of carrying out that which was the great feature of the Budget of 1852—a discrimination between permanent and precarious income. Let him, then, let the latter receive the benefit of the reduction, but increase the former to tenpence. He would thus obtain an increase of about 2,250,0001., of which half would be received during the current year. With that, and a renewal of the Exchequer Bond., he would be enabled to liquidate all de mands, and keep up the character in pecuniary affairs which Great Britain ought always to maintain, THil PRIVY COUNCIL. WINDSOR, TUESDAY. Her Majesty the Queen held a Privy Connell at half past three o'clock this afternoon. It was attended by Lis R vat Highness the Prince Consort, the Marquis of Saliibury, th.l Lord Chancell)r, the Earl of Harivsicke, the Earl of alrhy, Mr. Secretary Walpo'e, the Earl of Malruesbury, Lord Stanley, the Right Hon. J. W. Henle‘, Lord John ManncTr, the Marquis of Exeter, Earl Delawarr, and the Duke of Beaufort. At the Council Mr. Mowbray, Judge-Advocate- General, and the Earl of Donoughmore, by command of the Qaeen were sworn of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council and took their places at the board. Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. William Earl of Sefton to be Lord Lieutenant of the County of Lancaster, his lordship was sworn into offiue. Lord Sudeley was sworn into office as Lord Lieu. tenant of Montgotnerphire. The Earl of Donoughmore was appointed by the Queen Vice-President of the Board of Trade. The Education Committee was re-appointed. Mr. G. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in waiting. The Earl cf Derby and the Marquis of Salisbury bad audiences of the Q seen. The Earl of Sheffield and Lieut.-Col. F. Cavendish were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Lord Cbance!lor, the Marquis of Exeter, the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hard wicke, LDrd John Manners, Lord Stanley, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the Earl of Dotaoughinore, the Earl of Sefton, Lord Sudeley, Mr. Mowbray, and Mr. C. Greville, travelled from town to Windsor by a special train on the Great Western Rail way. The ministers returned to Paddington by a special train, after attending the Queen's Privy Canned. The Countess de Persigny was prevented, by indispo sition, accepting her Majesty's invitation to Windsor The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by Prince George of Saxony, the Prince of Wales, Princess Alice, the younger members of the royal faunly, the viAtors staying at the Osstle, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Household, witnessed Mr. Rarey's whole sytern of subduing the horse, this morning, in the Riding-school f the Castle. Lady Churchill has succeeded the Countess of Caledon as the Lady in Waiting to her Majesty, and the Earl of Sheffi ,, ld and Lieut.-CA F. Cavendish have succeeded Lord Raglan and Maior-Gen, Berkeley Drummond as L.rd and Groom in Waiting. His Royal Highness the Panne of Wales will shortly occupy the White Lodge, the Ranger's Lodge, Rich mond-park. Since the death of the Duchess of Glen ciiter the rangership of Richmond-park has been en trusted to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, on, we believe, the understanding that on the Prince of Wales a taining his majority the" royal duke will trans the rangerebip to the prince. The lodge has under gone a thoriugh repair and embellisement preparatory to the Prince of Wales taking up his establishment there. It is said that the Queen and the Prince Consort pur- Pose, during the residence of the Court at Buckingham Palace, to occasionally pass Saturday and Sunday nighti in privacy at the lodge. Count de Morin', at a meeting of the shareholders of the Mines de la L :ire, held a few days ago, caused it to be announced that he resigned the chairmanship of the board of directors —the only post of the kind he had te.;-ine4. J. J. MECUI was unanimously elected alderman for Lime-street Ward this day. L NEST NEWS. BERLIN, APRIL 6. Letters from Vienna of this day's date state, on positive information, that the report of the National Bank of Moldavia having suspended payment is confirmed. TRIESTE, APRIL G. The Turkish troops who disembarked at Kleck have encamped at Stolaz. It is said that 6,000 Irregulars are concen trated at Kuczko. The Rtyabs have refused to obey their chief, Vukalowich. There has not hitherto been any collision. The Montenegrins remain quietly within their frontiers. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. A bill is, by order of the Emperor, to be pre sented to the Legislative Body for granting pen sions to the families of the persons killed in the last attempt on his Majt - s'y's life, and to the per sons who were injured. It proposes pensions of I,ooof. a.year to the widows of Daltlen, garde de Paris ; Haaz, tradesman ; Raffin, hotelkeeper ; Mme. Riquier, widow of the intendant of the household of Prince Jerome ; and Waleau, a con cierge ; and others of 600 f. to each of the three children of Haaz, three of Riquier, and five of Waleau. To the fathers or mothers of Batty, Chassard, Drisange, and Giraudon, who wtre killed, it accords pensions of 600 f. To Channoine, who lost a limb, it gives one of I,ooof. • and to Ducamp, Hebert, Lavenne, Leand r o, Martin, Odin, Franck, Planque, Mozig, Peyrot, Pontal her, and Zinkernagel, who received various in juries, it grants pensions of 600 francs each. The committee of the I a gislative Budy on the budget has terminated its examination. The go vernment had demanded credits for paying the increase of salaries granted to certain categories of employes of the ministries, but the committee de clares that it does not think them necessary, and it proposes that the increase granted to persons who receive 1,500 francs salary shall b 3 taken off, and that that accorded to inferior functionaries shall not exceed 150 francs. Tl co:limi,Lea besides strongly recommends that the number of function aries shall be considerably reduced, as it exceeds what was fixed by decrees in 1851. and 1852 ; also that the formalities observed in transacting bosi nets in the Government offices shall be simplified. The committee also calls for the suppress on of the augmentation granted to juges de pair and their clerks. It proposes to adj 'urn the proposed exten sion of the section of disputed maiters in the Mini-t; yof Foreign Aff cirs ;to reject an increase of 180,000 f. in the salaries and allowances to receivers of finances, one of 210,000 f. in allowances to tax-collectors, and various others in the salaries of cltirks in the direct and indirect taxes, do mains, and waters and forests. The committee likewise rejects the indemnity proposed to be granted to functionaries of public libraries and scientific establishments for having been deprived of their lodgings in buildings of the State. The committee, moreover, complains of the disburse ment of 500,000 fr. for works and repairs in the Ministry of State. The committee only recom mends one increase, and that is of 62,500 fr. for additional religious aid in crowded parishes. sE u ' ot Ap io ri n t s 6.

Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 4-10ths par cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London Car bills at 60 days' sight is about 107 per cent., which, when compared with t h e Mi n t par between the "two countries, shows that the exchange is against England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate is just low enough to admit of the exportation of gold from this country. KAILWAY TUNNEL AT THE DOVER HEIGHTS.—The tunnel now coustructieg by the East Kent Railway Company under the heights is in rapid pro-2,ress, the workmen being at present employed in bricking the arch and rides as fast as the miners remove the chalk and earth from the tunnel. A clear passage through has been for some time effected ; and about three. fourths of the completed tunnel have been constructed, so as to require little more than the ballast and rails to be in a working condition. The entrance from Canter bury is on the Folkestoue-roan, which ere long will be lowered 11 ft. The length of the tunnel is about 680 yards ; the clear breadth 31 ft. 6 in., and the height from the rail to the keystone of the arch 21 ft. 6 in., all of well finished brick work 18i ft. thick. Thu greatest depth from the surface of the heights to the rails is from 270 to 289 ft. IMPROVEMICNTS IN PARIS —The embellishment and substantial improvement which Paris has undergone for the last five or Nix years are truly marvellous. Absent yourself from► tell-known place a few months, and on re visiting it you will look round and fancy that you have just arrived in the ci'y for the first time. rho long familiar lanes and alleys have disappeared ; op, n spaces or wastes have been filled up ; splendid edifi cc have risen where you only knew crumblin , 4 masses of de cayed stone or dead walls enclosing aboininatinns. There are entire quarters of this c'ty which the Parisian him eelf would hardly recognise. S )me of the finest, most spacious, and commodious hou-es may indeed be found in parts which, a few ;Sirs ago, were the most miserable. The buildings that have been constructed in the vicinity of the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Bastille, the Fau bourg St. Denis, and parts adjacent, are quite as fine as any in the quarter of the Madeleine, which, until now, was regarded a the most elegant of Paris. All differenc3 in this respect is, in fact, disapp aria;---cvality in street architecture is alvancing rapidly, al d what is nicknamed the "noble fauhourg"' has long bee❑ left behind. SHOCKING 000 UHRENCE.—Within the last few days a very paicful excitement has taken place in the establish ment of Lord Dufferin, at Higlsgate, in consequence of the violent death of one of the domestics, under circum stances of a very extraordinary and Ins'ancho:y notur,•. It appears from the evidence that was brought forward at the inquest, which was held on Tuesday, before Mr. Wakley, that the deceased, Win. Fallow, who was 17 years of age, held a situation at Dufferin-lodge. On Saturday night last, between .8 and 9, the deceased was eating oysters, when one stunk in the thorax. The un • fortunate youth ran about in the gr,atest agony, and at length fell. Mr. Margi e , a surgeon, promp ly arrived, but all human aid was unavailing. On a post-mortem examination the oyster was discovered 4 , tho v;r T o o h m e l u e r tely u e jury, after il e lamentingr sin r h tt e o i a u s r a , du accident,o aubi a s b r u e f t l ur c n a e tr. d i a verdict, "Accidentally suffocated." ',ITS. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. The Royal mail steam ship Tamar, Capt. John H. Jellicoe, arrived this day, at one o'clock, with the heavy portion of the Australian mails. On the outward voyage the Tamar arrived at Malta at 11.50p.m. 20th March, having experienced strong westerly and W. N. W. gales on the 13th and 14th ; afterwards fine weather. Sailed 21st, at 9.20 a.m., and arrived at Alexandria oe the 24th, at 11 a.m. S tiled 25th, at 6.50 p.m.; arrived at. Malta, 28th, at 2.5 p.m. and sailed the sam e d a y at 10 p.m. Home the iamar experienced a s.rong westerly gale in the Mediterranean, thick foggy weather off the coast of Portugal (going slow for eight hours), south-westerly winds across the Bay, and strong easterly wind from Portland. The latest dates are, Alexandiia, March 25 ; Malta, March 28. She brings 91 passengers, 40 packages of specie, of the value of 126,9911. 7s. 7d.; and the faowing cargo-1 bale of silk, 5 bales of wool, and 32 packages of sundries. Ships at Alexandria—Her Majesty's ship Cara doe, and the usual Egyptian fleet. The Peninsu lar and Oriental Company's steamer, Mala.bar, from Southampton, arrived on the 25th at six a.m. ; and Vec•is, from Marseilles, arrived on the 25th, at five p.m. Ships at Malta—Her Majesty's ships Royal Al bert, Conqueror, Princess Ho) al, Centurion, Tar tarus, Vulture, Cygnet, and the Prussian frigate Thetis. April 5, at five p.m., 20 miles south-west of Ushlnt, passed the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Colombo, steering south. NEW SOUTH WALES. The prolonged absence of the December mail from England, now some days overdue, has created even greater anxiety than usual, in consequence of the commercial agitation that was prevalent at the da'e of the last advices. The mail f r England is now being made up at the Sydney Post-office, end the Simla, which takes it to Suez, will sail to-day. This noble ship has a full complement of passengers, of whom our colonial families alone can count 34 per sons. The seniors of then, having found the streets of Sydney as pr, life of gold as, in the day dream of Whittineton, appeared those of the Britieh metro polis, go home to enjoy the reward of their exile, and the ycung scions to obtain the advantage of an English education. Notwithstanding that commercial affairs have for some months remained in a very dept.& esed state in Sydney, we have not to record such disastrous failures as have been experienced in the adjacent colony. The principal failure here has been that of Mr. Henry Fisher, merchant, which occurred very recently, and was occasioned by large speculations in sugar and fl air. The liabilities are about 125,0001., and the creditors have been offered a shillinei in the pound, which ha s b een refus-cl ; and, if no atter proposal ts made, the estate will be sur rendered to the Insolvent Court. The failure of Mr. Fisher has led to that of Purkis and Lambert, auctioneers, who acted as his agents, and endorsed his bills to a l arge amoun t. I n their schedule they state their habil ties at about 100,0001., and their assets at 70,0001., leaving a deficit of 30,0001. An other auctioneering firm, heretofore in good com mercial repute and carrying on an extensive busi ness, has succumbed to the pressure from without. Another general election to the Parliament of New South Wales is just over—the third under what is called the new constitution and representa tive government. That it has not hitherto worked favourably for the colony the frequent changes of ministry testify. The last cabinet, like the pre ceding one, resigned in consequen c e o f no t b e i ng able to carry a bill for facilitating the sale of crown lands. Whether the present ministry, with Mr. Cowper at its head, will be able to settle the qucestio vexata, remains for the future to decide. The sub ject is a difficult one to deal with. It is argued that if the upset price of the colonial lands b fixed too high (V. per acre is proposed) persons oflimited means will be unable to buy ; if at low price the probability is that men of capital will monopolieo it, to sell at a profit. Numerousare the devices pro posed to meet the contemplated contingencies, and as there are so many interests concerned, and the squatters (as the occupants of the pastoral lands are called) are a powerful and influential body, any ministry must find it an arduous t ask to balance the antagonisms. Desirable as it is that facilities should be given to persons who would devote laho ur as well as a small capital to the cultivation of the fertile but now waste lands of the colony, it must not be lost sight of that the squatters are the producers of the main staple of our colonial wealth, wool and tallow, and that they have a right to demand protection for what are to them, ,:r ought to be, vested in terests. This subjeet will be one of the earliest to be discussed by the new Pat liament, and the se _tle ment is looked forward to with much anxiety. Mr. J. H. Plunkett, who has been f , r nearly ten years the chairman of the Board of Nwional Edu catiori, has just been distil issi-d. from that gratuitous office by the Colenial Secretary, on the frivolous pretence that the board had adopted certain regu lations not strictly in accordance with the Act of Ceuncil by which it was cons.ie uted. Mr. Plunkett has since resigned his seat as President of the Le gis!ative Assembly, and all offices which he held under the government, as, he says, " the reign of terror has commenced." A requisition to the Mayor is in course of siunature, requesting him to convene a public meeting of the citizens in Hyde-park, to protest against such ,n arbitrary exercise of official authority as that of Mr. Cowper. It is very likely that the result will be a resolatiou calling upon him to resign. Mr. Plunkett is so generally popular, particularly emelt, the Roman Catholi cs , o f w h om ho leader, that had the occurrence taken place before the elections, Mr. Cowper would undoubt edly have lost his seat for Sydney. Intelligence was received here yesterday of an extensive forgery, commit ed by a Spaniard, named De Miranda. When he arrived here, which was vc ry lately, he brought highly respectable intro ductions, and represented himself as a purchaser of land for vine-growing in New South Wales, and was the agent of Baring Brotaa le, of London. He has succeeded in negotiating bills to the amount of about 20,0001., which have since turned out to be forgeries. An officer is gone to Melbourne in quest of him. _ _ _ The tide of emigration to these colonies has not of Lite flowed so abundantly as heretofore. The Tele graph arrived here list week from Liverpool with 391 government emigrants; and within the past fortnight nearly 2,000 Chinese lr.►ve b: en brought in American bottoms from Hong Kong. The Chinese are persevering, and generally successful, gold-diggers, when they adopt that punuit, and many o f them make money by charcoal-burning, in which they excel. Four seamen, the ringleaders in a mutiny on board an American whaler, the murder of the captain and other officers, and the taking forcible poisession of the ship, have been apprehonde l at Twofold .Bay, and brought on to Sydney. They have undergone several examinations, the principal evidence against them being the mate, who, under pain of death, was obliged to steer the vessel to some Australian port. They will be sent to America for trial. The electric telegraph between Liverpool and Sydney (22 miles) is now in working order, and there is also a communication between the Ex change and the Heads. Jn one day last week about 6,000 persons were admitted to witness the opera tion of the machime. The ne - v lighthouse at the HeAds (where the Dunbar was wrecked) is nearly, completed, and will be shortly ready to receive the lantern. Among the new structures that are making pro gress in Sydney, aro St. Andrew's Church of Eng land Cathedral, St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathe dral, St. Philip's To.er (to receive a peal of eight bells given by Mr. John Camphell), splendid build ings for the Bank of Au , tralasi3, the English, Scotvish, and Australian C';artered Bank, and the Otientel Bank, an ohseivittory, and the bridge to the suburb of Pyrmont, now separated from the ci!y ny Darling harbour ; the opening of this la , ,t will take place in about a fortnight. The railway extension line from Liverpool to Campbell-town is being industriously promoted with, and will be completed in a few months. Our ralway communication will then be about 36 miles, a very respectable beginning. Henry Watt arrived in Newcastle on Friday night by the Government train from the south. He will stay for yotue time, it is said, at the house of his parents in Areyle-street. THE WILL OF A MILLIONNAIRF.—The Evening Mail states that the late Mr. Rck, who was privately in Ae - red in Dubl:n on Saturday, died worth consider ably over a million of money. His will directs that ail secu rities standing in the public funds and elsewhere shall be turned into cash, and the vast proceeds invested in the pureease of land in Ireland. To his only sister, Mre. flume, 01 Hi Loewy', he has left a life interest in the property thus to be acquired, and after her death, her SOD, Mr. W. F. flume, one cf the members for the county of Wicklow, is to it beret the whole, subject to the payment of a few trifling legacies. The will bears date upwards of 14 years since. A million sterling, is" vested, soy, in latJ, ought, in" the present state of the market, to produce something like 50,0001. per annum. Tbo deceased had plainly more faith in the stability of Irish property than the late Sir Robert Pee), whose memorable caution ta his trustees seeie'ct " to cuiious f ature in the of the great statesman. "But not in Ireland " are words that denoted misgivings which in the present state of toe country seem A little out of p'aoe. THE CAGLIARI. The Debats imblishN4 the f ilowing as a very full summary of the memorandum on the subject of the Cagliari, which the cabinet of Turin has sent to its agents abroad to be c , unnunicated to the different courts at which they are accredited : "The document is dated the 30th March, Count de Cavour begins by calling to mind the importance of the question ; it is, he saye, an international one, which closely concerns the security of the maritime commerce of all nations, for it relates to the flagrant violation of a law common to all, and from which no Sate can withdraw itself without incurring the risk of ueder going all the consequences which might resn't from a voluntary deviation from the principles of the law of nations. The explanations which have, up to the pre vent time, been exchanged between the two cabinets of Turin and Naples, not having led ta any re sult, a serious dispute is imminent, for the Government of Sardinia has a right to reparation, and has decided on obtaining, either by reprisals or in some other manner, satisfaction for the insult offered to its flag, and complete ju-ties I , r its violently despoiled subjects. (Here follows a state ment of the facts, already known.) The committee on diplomatic disputes at Turin has declared that the capture was illegal, and that Sardinia had a right to demand the restitution of the ves-el, and the release of the inoivi euals arrested on board bet, notwithstanding the judi cial proceedings commenced at Naples, because all the acts posterior to the capture were radically This decision is founded on the most incontestable principles ; no right existed for the capture of the Cagliari while in the open sea, unless she be onged to a hostile power, or was engaged in acts of piracy. The Cagliari did not come under either one or the other of these conditions. The question is evidently internatior a', for as regards Sardinia it in volves the protection due to her flag, to her maritime commerce, and the property e f her subjects. Hence the claims of the Sardinian Governm , et, as set forth in the despatches of the' 16th Jan. and 18th March, an nexed to the memorandum, with the Neapolitan des: patch of 30th Jan. The memorandum points out the consequences of the sy-tem of defence adopted by the Cabinet of Naples. It would follow from it that vessels of war had a right to seize merchant vessels in the open sea and in time ofpeace, without their having been guilty of any criminal or hostile act ; it would also follow that the accidental fact of the revolt of some passengers on board a merchant vessel against the authority of the captain would give a right to foreign cruizera to chase and capture her and make her a lawful prize, even when he rebel ion is at an end and order re-established. These consequences are monstrous. The author of the memorandum denies tee rule invoked by Commandant Caraffa, and according to which the capture of the Cagliari would come exclusively within the competency of the ordinary tribunals, and therefore could net give rcc to any civil action or be made the subject of diplo matic representations. The Sardinian cabin et, on the contrary, maintains that the question is one of purely national law, and which cannot be usefully discussed except through the media a of diplomacy. It affirms that the Neapolitan Government la:s incurred a very serious responsibility, and that it cannot be admitted, either de jure or de facto that it should shield itself under the inde pendence et its tribunals, or entrench itself behind the tree action of the mag , strate s, when th pointin quell lon is an o omitted by the cru oars of the Royal Nary of the o Sicilies and a decision come to by the Prize Court of Naples. The cruisers of the Royal Navy are cam mis-ioned by the King, and the Prize Court was formed for the express purpose declaring the validity of the capture. It is therefore the Neapolitan Government which has applied t a state of peace laws and institu ions only made for a state of war. The memorandum then sets forth the consequences of that confusion. The sovereign who commissioned the crui-ere is thus made, whatever may be said, the true judge of the validity of any prize made by them. What guarantee then remains for foreigners whom it may be wished to despeil of their property ? Teis is a state of things which war, strictly speaking, might excuse, but which is incompatible with peace. A Prize Court can oily be considered as an instrument of force ; it is rarely and with great difficulty made one of justice. Foreigners compelled to be subjected in time of peace to such a jurisdiction, imposed by force, would find no guarantee in it, and thence arises the obligation for the Government of those foreigners to interfere for their protection, and in case of need to have recourse to re priashe The memorandum invokes in support of those doctrines the authority of Grotius in his Law of Na• teens,' and of Wheaton in his' Elements of International Law.' It is for all these reasons that the Sardinian Government wiste , before proceeding further, to make an appeal to all its friends and allies, and particularly to the maritime powers. The Sardinian Government, in resisting the pretensions of Naples, net only defends its own interests, but also the cause of all mercantile navies and the salutary principles which received a solemn ratification and fresh developments at the Con greed of Paris. Would it not be strange that Europe, after having proclaimed the principle that the flag covers the cargo, even in tine of war, should tolerate the pretensions; of a government which will not allow the flag to cover the persons on board in time of peace?" The Debats then remarks as follows : " M. de Cavour, it may be seen, does not ask for the intervention or the mediation of Europe or any Euro pean power ; be coefines himself to pointing nut a state of things which may lead to a dangerous conflict. It is a skilful and prudent proceeding, and we persist in thinking that, in one way or another, the two courts will in the end come to an understanding, and the spirit r f conciliation which now animates the British government oe this question acids to our confidence. That govern ment has already obtained a coucesidion from the King of Naples, and we hope that the sovereign will advance a few steps further in the path on which he has entered." THE L 1 6' VIATB AN.-THE LATE GALE. It was not until early yesterday morning that the bow moorings which failed of the Leviathan steam ship were replaced, and the huge vessel again semted. Owing to the continuance of the wrong north easterly wind, which art right on the port bow of the ship, the tugs bad to he kept hauling the vessel out until late in the evening, f,,r had her stern canted iu shore, and remained any time, with the falling tide, the consequences might have been most disastreus. Much credit is due to Mr Piowse, who h d charge of the ship in the absence of Captain Harrison, for the tact and skill by &splayed in getting the ship out of her difficulties. On Monday afternoon, just on the point of sit ing down to dinner at Liverpool a telegraphic message was put into his hands, and just four hours and a half from that time lie was reading t e decks of his Leviathan charge. A quick survey assured him that all the bow or stem fastenings had parted, and that tho,e at the stern were in.act ; fortunately some old craft inshore acted as a fender to the fore part of the ship, and upon th s state of things a 12-inch hawser was immediately ordered out and ni. , :de fast to the Dreadnought's (hospital ship) moorings. Soon an auth r and chain followed to the opposite shore, and these together effectually stayed - the ship from touching the guound, or crushing the crazy old ships so opportunely found in-shore undergoing repairs ; s t that a fit epound note will about cover all the damage done ou Monday, except the re placement of b oken moorings. This, however, is steadily progressing. Captain Harrison is nut likely to trust the safety of his ship to City or Government moorings again, but will at once proceed to lay out his own bower cables, to be made fast to Trotman's anchors, which have never failed in the hour of need. The force and pres sure of the gale on Monday upon the ship's side must have been prodigious, to snap asunder no less than five cables, exceeding an aggregate of 500 faikoms of 2i inch stud-link chain, the Admi ralty proof of which is 112 i tons upon each length or cable. Captain Harrison will not leave the ship till all the work is done. MEDICAL, REFORM AND THIC BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. We have been favoured with a report of the pro ceedings of the Medical Reform Committee of the British Medical AFsociafion, of which the follow ing is the substance : The committee met on the Ist inst. The mem bers present were—Sir Charles Hastings, M.D. (Worcester) ; G. Bo.tonaley, Esq. (Croydon) ; Sir J. Forbes, M.D. (London); G. W. Hastings, Esq. (London) ; Alex. Henry, M.D. ; Edwin Lankestee, M.D. (London) ; T. Nunneley, El. (Leeds) ; A. Prichard, Eiq. (Bristol) ; B. W. Richardson, M.D. (London) ; J. Stedman, Esq. (Guildford); and G. Webs er, M.D. (Dulwich). The bills of Lord Echo and Mr. Cowper were taken into consideration. It was m ved and seconded, "That Mr. Cowper's bill be taken into consideration by the committee, with a view to amend it." It was also proposed that Lord Eleho's bill be talccm into consideration." The original motion having been carried, the committee pro ceeded to consider seriatim the clauses of Mr. Cow per's bill. After discussion, tho fabowing Lions were adopted : " 1. That a preliminary examination in get eral know lt.dge should he established, which ail who enter the profession must pass. "2.

It was expected that the trial of Giovanni Lani, charged with thewilful murder of Heloise Taubin, would be proceeded with this morning', but an application for a postponement of the trial until to-morrow, was asEented to by the court. MR. GLOVER'S CASE. An application was made to the court to fix a day for the proceeding with the charge against Mr. Glover, for unlawfully making a fat-e declaration of his qualification as a member of Parliament. The court fixed the case for Friday mornin. POST OFFICE ROBBERY. A young man, named Goodfellow, pleaded guilty to stealing a letter. The Learned Judge, in passing sentence, said the stealing cf a letter was a very serious offence, but from what he had heard, it appeared that he bad hitherto borne n good character, and therefore he should pass upon biin a light, yet severe, sentence, which was that he be kept to penal servitude for four years. PRISON BREARINO. Thomas Greenfield was indicted for feloniously assist. in 4 a man named Wilkes to escape from the Holloway Prison. Mr. Bodkin said the facts of the case were rather singular. The prisoner, it appeared, a short time ago was sentenced at the Mansion-house to 21 days' im prisonment, and was afterwards taken to the Lock-up to await the arrival of a prison -van. While he was wait ing in the room Wilkes, who bad been sentenced to three months' imprisonment, asksd if there was anybody pre sent who bad a light sentence, and prisoner said he had got 21 days. Wilkes then said if he would take his place and answer to his name when the van arrived to convey them to the City Prison at Holloway he would give him a sovereign and his suit of clothes. The bargain was concluded, and on the van arriving the prisoner answered to the name of Wilkes; the result being that Wilkes, who had been sentenced to three months, only underwent 21 days, and the prisoner, who had been sentenced to the shorter term, remained in prison for three months. If the prisoner thought propr to retract his plea of guiby to the felony, and plead guilty to the misdemeanour, he should have no objection. Tile prisoner then withdrew Lis plea of guilty to the felony. The Learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, but without hard labour, UTTERING FORGED NOTES. Louis Daumond, a Frenchman, was indicted for felo niou-ly uvering a forged 10/. Bank of England note, with intent to defraud. He was also detained on three other charges. Mr. GiffArd appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. Mr. Thomas Mansell, an assistant at a hosier's shop in Regent-street, said, on Tuesday, the 23rd February, the prisoner came into the shop, and asked to see some gloves and shirts, and made a purchase which eame to 2/. 18=. 9d. He tendered a 51. Bank of England cheque in payment. This was taken to the cashier, who, after some hesitation, refused to change it. I asked if he had any smaller change, he said he had not ; and I then told him I would send the articles to his residence, if he gave me his address. He then said he lived at the Queen's Hotel, opposite the General Post-office, and his name was Delaine. Clark, the ca , hier at the establishment, corroborated the evidence of Alansell. The note was a forged one. Mrs. Thompson, residing in Finsbury-place, said the prisoner came to her house and took apartments. She asked him for a deposit, and he said he would leave a week's rent, 9s. Ho gave her a five pound note, for which he received the change, and then left the house. The note turned out to be a forgery. Another cage was then proceeded with. A forged five pound note having b3en tendered at the shop of a jeweller in payment for a gold watch chain, The Inspector f notes to the Bank of England said the notes were all forged, Lnt they were sufficiently good to deceive a foreigner. The prisoner, in his defence, did not deny the tendering of the notes, but said he received them from a stranger n change for foreign money on board the steamer which brought him to Begland, Mr. Justice Crompton having summed up the evi dence, Thejury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was senttnced to five years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Solomon Parker, a general dealer, was indleted with fel, , niously receiving 101 blmakete kno wing them to have been stolen. Mr. Ribton defended the prieoner. From the evidence it appsared that some months ago Mr. Johnson lost a large quantity of blankets, and the day following the robbery the property was found in the possession of the prisoner, who was a general dealer in Hounsditch. Witnesses proved that the blankets found in the pos gest-ion of the prisoner had undergone the cleansing pro cess to which the blankets in Mr. Johnstone's store house bad heal subjected, that the bundles were tied and folded in a peculiar way, that they were tied with a particular kind (,f string, and that amongst the pro perty stolen was one dirty blanket which had a red stripe, and one blanket of this description was found in the possession of the prisoner. Mr. Ribtou haviug addressed the jury for the prisoner; Judah Wonlf, residing in Whitechape). He said he was in the habit of attending Government sales of stores. He had frequently bought hundreds of blankets of the same mark as those now produced as stolen. About six months ago he sold the prisoner upwards of a thousand blankets bought tet a Government sale. He bought the blanket he sold to the prisoner, at a sale that took place at Deptford Victualling Yard about six months ago. He had no doubt that amongst the number sold to him a great many bad the particular mark spoken to by the witnesses for the prosecution. He sold the goods to the prisoner ai he bought them. The Government never washed the blankets before they sold them. He had often bought clean new blankets amongst those sold. Joseph Myers, a licensed victualler and dealer in Go vernment stores, said he knew the prisoner to be a dealer in blankets. He had seen the prisoner attending Government sales, and purchase blankets like those he , was now charged with receiving as stolen property. The Recorder, in summing up, said it was a curious fact that the property was lost on the 22d or 23d of Feb., and on the latter date it was found in the posses sion of the prisoner. But he gave an untrue account of the way he became possessed of them, and it would, therefore, be for the jury to say whether the property was the same as that stolen. It was also very extra• ordinary that precisely the same number of blankets stolen should be found, directly after the robbery, in his possession, and that string, like that used by the prose. tutors, should be found near the property. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of receiving the property, knowing them to have been stolen. The Rec rder sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT.
