ADELPHI A romantic drama, in six tableaux, entitled The Queen of the Abruzzi was produced here on Monday, with complete success. It is founded on the popular ballet of La Catarina, and is written by Mr. Stirling Coyne, who has in some mea sure altered the original so as to suit the Adelphi company. In this he has succeeded a merreille. He has so ma naged as to include in his caste Madame Celeste (who acts the heroine most effectively) ; Mr. 0. Smith, who takes Perrot's part of the Lieutenant); Paul Bedford, Boyce, and Mr. Redmond Ryan, and Miss Ellen Chaplin, who enact the parts of an Irish boy travel ling in Italy and his jealous Italian wife, and he hali fitted each of his artists to a nicety. Of this most effective inte resting drama, it may be said, that unlike the generality of imitations, it is superior to the original. The dialogue is carefully, and in many places, elegantly written. The description given of his house, for instance, by Salvator Rosa in the first act, is genuine poetry. The Irishman, too, which was excellently acted by Ryan, is really a broth of a boy—not the mere stage Irishman, but a witty, rollicking, high-spirited fellow—one of whom the Green Island need not be ashamed. The scenery was ex ceedingly beautiful (we could almost fancy we were looking at some of the chefs d'ceuvre of Eastlake). The dances were given with spirit, and the music, selected and arranged by Mr. Mellon, was pretty and appropriate. The piece "went" admirably, and at the conclusion Madame Celeste was called for, and, on being led forward by Mr. Boyce, was received with enthusiastic applause by a house crowded to excess. The Queen of the Abruzzi will have a long reign. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS. _ Notwithstanding the attraction of operas and concerts, the Ethiopian Serenaders not only hold their ground, but are more popular than ever. Night after night is the St. James's theatre crowded by fashionables, who seem thoroughly to enjoy the performances of these transatlantic melodists. This is an additional proof of the progress which musical science has made of late years in England. Albeit melody is the prevailing characteristic of the performances of the Ethiopian Serenaders, yet melody is not the sole characteristic. The melodies which they give us are beautifully harmonised. There is no attempt "to gild refined gold "—the melody is not lost in the harmonious combinations—not smothered, like the Roman maiden, beneath the weight of the shields—but elaborated and Eupported by the harmony, which, like the string of a necklace, runs through and combines the pearls of melody into one beautiful and perfect whole. The performance of the Ethiopian Serenaders are not only delightful to the dilettanti, they are a study for the musician, who may here learn novel combinations and the use of instruments (the bones to wit) which may be of infinite service to him in composing orchestral accompaniements, but which have been hitherto unknown to or neglected by the academies and the schools. The dramatic composers more especially, by studying the performances of the Ethiopian Serenaders, may learn how to maintain the pathetic with the comic in music. " There is," said Napoleon, ' but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous." The Ethiopian serenaders demonstrate the converse of the proposition, and by their exquisite performance of that most beautiful combination of humour and pathos, the melody " Miss Lucy Neal " prove that there is but one step from the humorous to the pathetic, and that smiles and tears are nearer akin than the generality of mankind imagine. We are not, therefore, surprised at the crowded houses which these delightful melodists draw every night, and, as lovers of music, we feel we are under great obligations to Mr. Mitchell for having introduced the Ethiopian serenaders to the English musical public. COURT CIRCULAR Ibrahim Pacha, attended by his suite, and Major Dickson, paid a visit to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, yesterday morning in Buckingham Palace.

Miss Noble has been studying in•ltaly for five Ye ars, and pose% 'es requisites lholy t 9 §ecure her future eminence. HER MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY. ' Yesterday having been specially appointed for the due celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the royal standard was hoisted on the principal church steeples, at an early hour, amid the ringing of merry peals, the ships in the river, and the principal public b u ildi ngs. At t en o ' c l oc k a ver y large number of well-dressed personages was congregated in St. James's Park to witness the inspection of the Household troops. The Life Guards formed on the right of the infantry, attended by their band in state liveries, as also by their splendid massive silver kettle-drums. On the occasion of the Queen's birthday the united bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attend the parade, and form a concert of mi litary music not to be surpassed. A tolerable opinion may be formed of this powerful combination of martial• sounds from the subjoined analysis of the various instruments :-30 clarionets, 8 flutes and picolos, 7 oboes, 10 bassoons, 12 French horns, 6 cornopeans, 6 trumpets, 9 trombones, 6 ophicleides, 3 brass drums, 3 tenor drums, 3 cymbals, and 80 drums, bugles, and fifes, making a total of 183 performers. This magnificent • band played with wonderful effect Mozart's " Non pin Andrai," the " British Grenadiers," the " Duke of York's March," and " God save the Queen." The troops looked exceedingly well in their new uniforms, and went through their evolutions in a most soldier-like man ner, to the evident satisfaction of the illustrious personages and distinguished officers present; among whom were Field- Marshal the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, in his uniform as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards; Field- Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Co lonel of the Coldstream Guards; Field-Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as Colonel of the Scots Fusilier Guards; and his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridgevis Colonel of the 17th Lancers. The Commander-in- Chief was attended by his staff and aides-de-camp. The parade was crowded with ladies, accompanied by officers in uniform, amongst whom we noticed— Lord and Lady Vivian, Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Cardigan, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Sir Charles Dalbiac, Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Sir Frederick Thesiger, Marquis of Douro, Marquis of Worcester, Colonel Drummond, &c. The principal attraction, however, was Ibrahim Pacha and his suite, who seemed highly to enjoy the scene. Viscount Combermere was at the head of his regiment, the 2d Life Guards ; and Colonel Berkeley Drummond commanded the infantry, about 1,200 in number. The ground was well kept by detachments of Foot Guards, and all went off admirably. THE ILLUMINATIONS. The illuminations in the evening were quite as extensive as on the last occasion, but were chiefly confined to the vari ous club-houses and places of amusement, and the residences of the Royal tradespeople. Notwithstanding the lowering appearance of the heavens in the earlier part of the evening, and the want of the usual attraction of a drawing-room on such occasions, the streets of the metropolis, especially the leading thoroughfares, were thronged by countless thousands of respectable persons all wending their way to the West end to see the lights. Most of the principal streets were nearly impassable until after eleven o'clock, owing to the in numerable carriages, carts, waggons, omnibuses, &c., crowded with people from all parts of the suburbs. Every necessary regulation for the preservation of order had, however, been adopted by the police authorities, and no serious accidents are believed to have occurred. WOOLWICH. At Woolwich, at an early hour, the day appointed to be celebrated as her Majesty's birthday, was ushered in by the bells of the parish church ringing a merry peal, and the royal standard being hoisted on a flagstaff on the steeple, and at the dockyard, the garrison, and the Royal Arsenal. At a quarter before twelve o'clock the whole of the troops in the garrison, consisting of the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H. ; the battalions of Foot Artillery, the right wing under the com mand of Lieutenant •Colonel Russell, and the left wing under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Crawford; the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Webb, R.E. ; the Chelsea pensioners, under the command of Cap tain Forbes; the Royal Marines, under the command of Colonel Mercer; and the Field Batteries, under the com mand of Colonel Cleaveland, on the left; assembled on the common, and precisely at twelve o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery commenced firing a royal salute from their guns. On a signal being given, the Horse Artillery fired six guns, and a running fire was carried on along the front line of the whole of the troops and up the rear, the bands of the various corps playing " God save the Queen." The field batteries then fired eight guns on the left, which was fol lowed by a running fire along the line, as before. Six guns were then fired on the right, followed by another running fire, the bands playing " God save the Queen." The line then presented arms, shoulder order, and gave three hearty cheers. Major-General Sir T. Downman, C. 8., commandant of the garrison, rode down the line and up the rear, accom panied by Brigade-Major Cuppage, Captain Tylden, Captain Wingfield, and several other officers. Colonel Tulloh, of the Chelsea Pensioners Forces, Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, Royal Artillery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Powell, Royal Marines, were present in uniform, and Colonel Turner, C. 8., com manded the whole of the line. The ground was kept by men of the Riding-house establishment, and many thousands were present on the occasion, attracted to Woolwich by a report that there was to be a review and rocket practice in the Marshes, although nothing of the kind was intended. THE HON. ARTILLERY COMPANY. A considerable number of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of this ancient corps, established in the city of London, assembled at their spacious grounds in Finsbury to celebrate her Majesty's birthday, and shortly after three o'clock P.M. fired a double royal salute from two field pieces in a manner, as to loading and firing, which would have re flected credit on any artillery corps in her Majesty's service. Captain Iselin commanded the artillery company, and Cap tain Barnard put the whole of the companies through their various evolutions with as much precision as regularly em bodied and constantly practised soldiers. Previous to the double royal salute, and three rounds being fired f r o m th e muskets, the whole of the companies marched past the major commanding at slow and quick time, in a very soldier-like manner. The companies then went through all the evolu tions of a field day, as practised by infantry regiments and foot artillery, and formed squares, firing from the front rank, and by companies and battalions, in a superior style, afford • ing proofs of their efficiency and attention to the duties they had undertaken. Their late eornmanding officer (Colonel Cox) and Major Freshfield were on the ground, in uniform, and thousands of the members of highly respectable families, to witness the exercise of the Hon. Artillery Company. WINDSOR. A royal salute was fired to- day at 1 o'clock from the Bel videre Fort, at Virginia Water, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The Corporation ordnance having fired a royal sa lute, and the bells of the . parish church having been rung on the 25th ult., the usual rejoicings in the town to-day did not take place. Colonel Ferguson, and the officers of the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards, gave a splendid banquet this even ing to a distinguished party, at the Infantry Barracks, in Sheet-street. Upwards of 70 were present. The entertain ment took place in Tippoo Saib's tent, the property of ber Majesty, kindly lent for the occasion by Colonel Bowles, the Master of the Household, in the absence of the Lord Cham berlain. This spacious tent, the interior of which was taste fully decorated with flags and other military trophies, inter spersed with evergreens and festoons of flowers, was erected in the barrack square. A large assemblage is expected to be present at the race ball this evening, at the Town-hall, under the stewardship of the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Orkney, the colonels and officers of the two regiments in garrison at Windsor, Mr. Ralph Neville, M.P., &c. SIR ROBERT AND LADY PEEL'S THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10 1846. GRAND FETE. Last evening Sir Robert and Lady Peel gave a magnifi cent entertainment, at their mansion in Whitehall-gardens, in celebration of the Queen's birthday. The grand assembly was preceded by a sumptuous banquet. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge were to have dined with the Premier and her Lady ship, but owing to the Royal Duke's indisposition, arising from gout, his Royal Highness was prevented from joining the circle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at eight o'clock, attended by Baron Knesebeck and Lady Au gusta Cadogan, and on alighting from the royal carriage was received by Sir Robert Peel, who conducted his illus trious guest to the saloon, where the company invited to the banquet had assembled. The dinner circle, in addition to the Duchess of Cambridge, consisted of the Duke of Rutland and Lady Adeliza Man ners, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and Lady Alexandrina Vane, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marquis of Hertford, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Clanwilliam, Earl Bathurst, Lord Brougham, the Earl and Countess Brownlow, and Lady Augusta Cadogan and Baron linesebeck, in waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge. The entertainment was of the most recherche description, and reflected considerable credit on the chef de cuisine. After the banquet, Lady Peel had an assembly, which, from a combination of circumstances, must be pronounced the most brilliant reunion in high society this season. The spacious picture gallery adorned by the chefs-d'oeuvre of the Flemish school of painters, was thrown open for the recep tion of the numerous visitors, as also the connecting saloons, abounding with rare productions of art. All t h e sa l oons were admirably illuminated, and ornamented by numberless flowering plants. The - company began to arrive shortly after ten, and the carriages continued to set down visitors until after midnight. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived at 20 minutes to eleven o'clock, attended by the Hon. Captain Liddell and Lady Georgiana Bathurst. His Highness Ibrahim Pacha, attended by Major Dickson, and accompanied by General Soliman Pacha, General Ihra • him Bey, Captain Mustapha Effendi, Colonel Bonfort, M. Cabaret Effendi, and M. Noubert, arrived at 20 minutes after eleven, and was received on his arrival with every dis tinction by Sir Robert Peel, by whom the Pacha was con ducted to the picture-gallery, where the host of visitors had by that time congregated. His Highness and suite were en uniforme, and the Pacha and the several members of his retinue wore a great many orders and other decorations of honour. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge came early. The picture-gallery presented a gorgeous spectacle when the whole of the company had assembled, from the variety of costume and uniform, for, with very few exceptions, all the visitors were in full dress. The Pacha and his suite gave an additional interest to the assembly, as it may be properly considered his first introduction to English society. His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from the Pacha of Tunis, and his two attaches, were present also. Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhazy, and the members of the corps diplomatique were present. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester retired after a visit of more than a hour, a nd the Duchess of Cam bridge and attendants took their departure at half-past twelve. took pleased with hpiaseshuaitwe was s id not leave until a quarter to one o'clock. The g t h : ness Ibrahim Pacha and the gallant gentlemen of k a cordial leave of Sir Rs. dep ll a i r s tu n re i reception, peel. and on his ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN O'SULLIVAN. By W. H. Maxwell, Esq., A ut h or of " Stories of Waterloo. " "There's e nong h of life crowded into these three volumes to set up an ordinary romance- maker for ten years. Mr. Maxwell loses no time in dry detail, but plunges at once into the wildest and most stirring scenes. Animal spirits are rampant all through the book; a keen sense of fun, and a resolution to hunt it down wherever it may be, are the author's characteristics, but under the roystering, reckless, Irish dragoon-manner of the writer, there is a world of shrewd observation and humour. We can cordially recommend Captain O'Sullivan' to the attention of the numerous class of readers who are evil-minded enough to read novels, not for political satire, not for moral lessons, not f or p hi losophical disquisition, but for the sole purpose of being amused."_ Court Journal. MORE FINE WHEAT.—We have elsewhere noticed that some tine heads of Australian wheat, grown by Mr. H. Little dale, at Liscard, were last week exhibited in the Exchange News room. To •day several beads of English wheat, equal, if not superior, in bulk and promise, may be seen at the same place. They are ftom one of the fields of Mr. Robert Neilson, of this town and Hale wood, a gentleman whose skill and enterprise in practical and scien tific agriculture are unourpalaa—kiverpool APrion, A deputation of the Peninsular grind Oriental Steam-Packet Company, consisting of Mr. P. M. Stewart, M.P., Sir John Pirie Sir John Campbell, M r . Wilcox, Captain Nairne, Mr. C. Ewart, Captain Bourne, RN., Captain Thornton, R.N., and Mr. James Allan, secretary, -waited upon the Pacha, at half-past two o'clock, by appointment, to present an address. Major C. Dickson bad the honour - to introduce the members of the deputation to his Highness, - who received them most affably. _ Driarkanauth Tagore, Sheriffs Chaplin and Laurie, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Dr. Bowrin g, M.P., were granted interviews with the Pacha in the course of the afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge called on the Pacha yesterday afternoon, a,nol inserted his autograph in his Highness's book of visits. His Highness, attended by Major C. Dickson, and the principal members of his suite, left Illivart's Hotel shortly after four o'clock, to pay visits. His Highness called first on the Queen Dowager, at Marlborough 'House, and then went to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge, and subsequently the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Ellenborough, tb.e Earl of St. Germans, and the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Pacha and party returned to Ilivart's at a quarter past six o'clock to dinner. We understand his Highness and suite intend to leave for a tour in the provinces and in the :Highlands of Scotland towards the close of the ensuing week, unless any unforeseen circumstances should arise to alter the contemplated move ments. The visitors to his Highness yesterday were extremely numerous. His Highness and suite went to Lady Peel's assembly shortly after ten o'clock. ARRIVAL OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EVENTIV4.- 1 -iiSix O'clock this morning three ships of war were seen rounding Bembridge Ledge, and BOOR after the Russian colours were distinctly made out. The squadron, consisting of the Ingermanland, 74, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Lu.lka; the Manalay, 26 ; and the Prince of Warsaw, corvette, anchored at Spithead, about seven, saluting the garrison with 21 guns, which the platform battery returned. In the meantime the Com mander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, proceeded to Spithead, in the Lightning yacht Eiteatmer, his barge being towed out by her, and went on board the Ingermanland to pay his respects to the Grand Duke. He was received on board by Admiral Lulka and the Grand Duke, who is a lieutenant on board her, under a salute of 17 guns, which the Victory returned with a similar :number. M. de Berg, First Secretary to the Russian Embassy, who has been wait ing at Portsmouth for the last ten days for the arrival of the Grand Duke, in company with the Russian Consul, Mr. March, also went off to the Ingermanland. On the Russian flag first being made , out in the morning, the electric telegraph was put in requisition to convey the intelligence of tile Duke's arrival to Baron de Brunnow,. in London. The semaphore telegraph also communicated the same to the Admiralty. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle remained but a short time on board the Ingermanland, returning on shore in his barge, leaving the Lightning, steam-yacht, to attend on his Royal Highness at Spithead. At eight o'clock the Russian ships were dressed in colours, following the example of the English ships, who, in consequence of its being the day appropriated for the keeping of her most gracious Majesty's birthday, were all gaily decorated with flags; the Russian ships all doing us the honour of hoisting a British ensign at their maintop-gallant-mast-heads, with the Russian colours at the fore. At twelve o'clock they all fired a royal salute in accoi d ance with our own ships. _ - The Grand Duke, we understand, will land at half-past five o'clock, and, although no Russian standard is or will be hoisted, and, consequently, all public demonstration will be, by request, avoided, yet he will be received with all due cour tesy and attention. We understand he will remain at the Governor's house, but a suite of apartments have been or dered at the George Hotel, for the use of three or four of the officers. His Highness Ibrahim Paeba left with the authorities at Portsmouth 30/. to be given to the poor. PEDESTRIANISM. FOOT RACES AT EALING-TUESDAY. The 130 yards match, for 101. a side, between James Pat terson, of London, and D. E. Nickle, of Glasgow, came off at the Old Hat. After a very fair start, the men run together a short distance, when it became clear that the Londoner had the turn of speed, and he ultimately went in a gallant winner by six or seven yards. Betting, before the start, 6 to 4 on Patterson, it being generally said that Nickle, in addition to being overmatched, was not in tip-top con dition. JOHN SMITH AND D. Curtwnostrubt.—The Regent-street Pet and Dan. Cunningham, the Irish lad, tried their pace in a spin of half a mile, for 251. a-side. It was a one-sided affair, owing to the unfitness of Smith to run the distance; at about 700 yards, Cunningham then having a strong lead, Smith reeled and gave in; indeed he seemed to have had enough at a quarter of a mile. There were some frivolous objections made as to the Irish lad not running the distance, which may serve for discussion among the litigious and dis• putatious, but there can be no doubt as to the winner of the race, both according to the spirit and the letter of sport ing law. MALLATRATr AND WEsTnau...—We have already hinted, that Mallatratt demurred to the appointment of the day and place made by the stakeholder; this objection he bore out by not appearing at the spot and time named by that per. nonage. Westhall went over the ground, with what result we shall hereafter announce. MALLATRATT AND JOHN SMITH.—In this affair Malla• tratt has forfeited the deposit made; the match is, there fore, off. MATCH AGAINST TlME.—James Tierney (in time by past, a soldier in the 61st Regiment), and well known to race goers as a roadside runner, is backed for 201. to run to Ascot Heath and back again in seven hours, starting at nine o'clock from Houghton-street, Clare-market; the distance is 66 miles.

It then closed the general debate on the project of law, modifying articles 331 to 350 of the penal code; and fixed the discussion of the articles for to morrow in a secret Committee. The Chamber of Representatives discussed and agreed to the pro ject of law for a supplementary vote of credit for 80,000 f. for the service of the mint, and a credit of 39,518 f. for the budget of foreign affairs for 1845.

The Marquis of Rhodes brought up the report on the project of law, pro longing the law of 24th of September, relative to the impor tation of provisions. The Senate then formed a Secret Committee, to discuss the modification of articles 331-335 of the penal code. After a short debate the sitting was again public, and the project of law was agreed to unanimously by the 31 Members present. It then opened and closed the discussion on the projects of law, definitively regulating the budget of the years 1833, 1834, to 1835. The King and Queen set out today (6th June), for Paris.

In the district of Koeningen, in the Residence of Cheubon, an extensive bed of coal has been discovered, which is stated to be of the best quality. It was intended to make a trial of it in her Majesty's steam-boats. Inundations occurred by breakers in the dykes on the banks of the river Kediri, had done great injury to the river plantations in the Residence of Sorabaye. On the 23d February a dreadful huricane occurred, which destroyed many dwellings of the natives, besides a number of fruit trees in the dis tricts of Peckalingur. In the night of the 14th of February, three native trading vessels were attacked between Bangocsangs and Fyottck, by a well-manned and well-armed piratical vessel ; one of the three vessels escaped by flight, the two others, after an engagement, in which they lost fifteen men, were abandoned by the re mainder. . appointed Governo r o f B orneo is to go as :oonhaesnpeowss newly-appointed to that island, principally to regulate the working of the coal mines, which is already begun in the district of Banjee. Some of the inhabitants of the island of Billiton were condemned to death, and other severe punishments, for plundering a Chinese vessel, wrecked near that island in Feb., 1844, and murdering the crew Some Chinese had effected a landing in the district of Moekakoeneny, and after they had plundered and burnt some habitations, returned to Singapore. Twenty Chinese of that district, suspected of being concerned in these excesses, had also fled to Singapore. An applica tion of the resident of Riouw to the British authorities at Singapore, to deliver up the guilty, was fruitless. LIENWARDEN, JUNE 1.--We are sorry to state that the potatoes in this district appear to be infested with the same disease as last year. THE HAGUE, JUNE 6.—His Majesty the King arrived at Warsaw, in good health, on the 29th of last month. We learn from good authority, that the King has authorised Messrs. Haages and Der Kinderen to con cert measures for executing (by a direct grant) a railroad from Harlemgen, in the province of Frienland, to Lienwarden, and thence to Gronounger, forming a communication with the German lines. ROYAL HOSPITAL, CHELSEA. --011 Saturday, a meet ing of the committee and subscribers to the Building Fund of the new Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, now in the course of erection at Brompton, took place at Chelsea for the transaction of business relative to the forth coming bazaar, held by permission of Sir Edward Paget in the gardens of the Royal Hospital. It was stated that the efforts made were on the most extensive and magnificent scale, and a hope was expressed that all who were favouring the institution with work, &c., for the various stalls, would forward them as speedily as might be found convenient. Thanks having been readily accorded to the worthy chair man, the meeting separated. BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES. It seems strange that among the innumerable institu tions for the benefit of the poorer classes in this country, none should, until lately, have been projected for the promotion of cleanliness ; and in this respect the metro polis is more backward than other towns in the king- Com. A letter from,a clergyman at Liverpool, inserted in our paper on Tuesday, stated that an establishment of baths and wash-houses, principally intended for the labouring classes, is in active operation in that town with the greatest success, whilst in London not one establishment of the kind is as yet completed. Several are, however, projected, and in the course of erection, and the one in the Hampstead road, for the north-western district of London is so nearly completed, that if the requisite funds are obtained, it may be in full operation at the beginning of next month. This establishment has been singularly favoured in obtaining its site, round the base of the New River Company's reservoir, at a nominal rent, and also in having among its leading Committee-men gentlemen of practical knowledge and indefatigable industry. It consists of forty private baths of differents kinds, besides two plunging baths, and of sixty washing-tubs, divided from each other, with every possible accommodation for drying, mangling, and iron ing the clothes. Each washing compartment consists of two tubs, which will be supplied with hot and cold water from pipes and taps, and a steam-pipe descends to the bottom of one of the two tubs, for the purpose of boiling the clothes after they h ave b een washed. The drying department consists of a rotatory apparatus for expelling the water from the heavier articles by contd. fugal force, without the necessity of wringing the clothes. There are, also, several drying closets, excellently con trieved for drying the smaller at ticks, by means of currents of hot air. In the ironing department there is a hot stove for - heating the irons ; there are mangles, and every other convenience for finishing the work. When in operation the charge for the use of these con veniences, for three hours, will be only one penny, and that time it is supposed would be ample to allow of the completio the tb noefrewould b ordinae no timeryweek le'swet in waiting ashingf foras mall family, as hot water, nor fpr the drying of the clothes. The private baths are fitted up with every conveni ence for hot or for cold bathing, and some of the rooms are sufficiently large for a woman and several small children to bathe at the same time, for which no addi tional charge will be made. The price of an ordinary cold bath, with the use of a towel, will be one penny ; for those provided with rather superior accommodation, twopence ; and there are a few to be fitted np in a still better manner, for which the charge will be six pence. When a hot or tepid bath is required, these prices will be doubled. There are also, in a separate b compartment w o t b h e e fi b t u t e i l d d ing , five up with it vapour b e very r e gand to st loe com fort, the charge for which will be one shilling, As the chief object of the Institution, however, is to benefit the poorer classes, vapour and showe r baths will be provided for them at a much lower cost.

Nothing, in fact, could be better arranged for the various purposes of the establishment; and, if we are cor rectly informed, the whole has been done at an outlay of not more than 4,0001. The plunging baths are not yet completed, but they are expected to be finished before the end of next week. They will be roofed over, and provided with separate dressing boxes. One of these baths will be 60 feet long and 20 wide; the other 38 feet by 18, and the charges will be 2d. for one and 6d for the other. The hot water and steam for the washing tubs and baths will be supplied from large boilers, which, with the fur naces, are quite completed. At the end of next week all the fittings of the pipes, it is expected, will be finished, so that the water may be let on, and the effect of the apparatus tried. The establishment will then be opened in working order for inspection for a fortnight, and if the contributions from the visitors be sufficiently ample to. justify the committee in commencing operations, the baths and wash-houses of the north-western district of London will be opened in the first week in July. DESECRATION OF A ROMAN CA THOLIC CHAPEL, EXTRAORDINARY CASE. (From the Cork Examiner.) Extraordinary excitement was occasioned in the town of Bandon yesterday (Sunday) morning by its having become known that the body of a female infant had been foiled in the gallery of Kilbrogan parish Chapel. This building, which stands a little outside the town near the old Cork road, and on the ground formerly oc cupied by the ancient parish church, before the present building had been erected within the town by the first Earl of Cork, is not usually opened for service on Sunday until about 10 o'clock, in consequence of that duty being performed at an early hour in the adjoining parish chapel. A woman, whose duty it was to clean this chapel, on entering yesterday morning, found the body, as will appear in the evidence. The police having been communicated with, Head-constable Wright was soon upon the spot, and in the afternoon an inquest was held before Franklin Baldwin, Esq., coroner, and the following jury. Andrew Moore, Abraham Isaac, Daniel Dineen, Pa trick Murphy, Wm. Morgan, Win. Lovell, Andrew Des- mond, Cornelius Keeffe, Terence M'Carthy, Denis O'Leary, Timothy Donovan, and Mathew Cummins. The first witness examined was Ellen Walsh, who being sworn, deposed that she is employed in keeping Kilbrog .n Chapel clean—she went into the chapel this morning about six o'clock, when she found the body of the infant now before the jury covered with a white linen cloth, on a form in the gallery—no window or windows were open and the doors were locked—does not know who put the child there, nor that any one lately had a child in the neighbourhood—does not know of any being buried in the yard for the week—was not in the chapel since this day week—does not know of any other person having been there—went into the gallery to dust it—did not see any one about the place lately, and witness was not about the place since last Sunday. Peter Crawley sworn—Keeps the keys of the chapel, and has had them in his possession for thirty years ; had them during the last week ' • locked the chapel do ors this day week, and is s ure th e body was not there then ; the keys were not out of his possession during the week; he did not himself go to the chapel during that time, nor give the keys to any one to do so—nor saw any of the windows open; don't know of any child being buried during the week ; the people go to him when the keys are wanted. No persons were watching in the church-yard since Mr. Donohue was buried ; did not hear any one suspected of having had a child in the neighbourhood ; the woman got the keys from him at six o'clock this morning ' • there was no fastening to the windows, and they could be easily opened from the out side ; did not see any one about the place during the week. John Desmond sworn—His house adjoins the chapel yard ,• don't know of any child being brought into the chapel yard this week ; nor did he see any strangers about during that time by night or day. Does not keep dogs ; don't hear any noise about the yard during the week, nor of any woman having had a child, or being in the family way. Thomas Wright sworn—ls head constable of police, and of the Bandon station ; got information this morn ing that a child was found in Kilbrogan Chapel ; accom panied the clerk to the chapel ; found the body of the infant now before the jury, lying on a form in the gal lery on its back, with a white linen cloth over it ; lifted the cloth and found a cut extending from the upper part of the chest down the body ; some, but but not much blood under the head on the form ; searched generally for blood marks through the chapel, but found none ; examined the lower windows of the chapel, but which are about two and a half feet from the ground ; they could be easily lifted ; found no trace of any person•having forced in ; searched the chapel yard to try if a grave had been recently opened, and found only one which had opened for an infant, and lightly a covered aren t wi ly th be so en ds. John Magrath, M.D., sworn—Examined the body of a female child which the jury had received ; found a long incision made by a cutting instrument exactly from the upper part of the chest to the lower part of the abdomen, laying bare the intestines ; the intestines were not injured, but in their natural position ; the back part of the head was knocked and broken to pieces, and half of the brains out. The navel cord was tied in the regular way and of the usual length—opened the chest and exa mined the lungs (which were not previously . opened). From the principal physical marks he is of opinion that it was born dead. The lungs sunk immediately when put into water. No trace of air in them, which would be the natural consequence if the child had ever breathed. The marks are not those which would be caused by a medical man using his instruments in a difficult birth. The mutilation must have taken placed before the body was taken into the chapel. The following verdict was returned.—" That the said female child on the 31st day of May was still-born, but who are her parents, or by w h om t h e b o d y was le ft ex posed, no evidence to the jurors did appear. ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT TUNBRIDGE WELLS.— At the Toubridge Petty Sessions on Monday t las , Thomas Cheesman, a waiter at the Camden Hotel, was charged with cutting the throat of a fellow servant named Frances Sanders, with intent to destroy life. It appeared that the prisoner was desirous of paying his ad dresses to the young woman, but as she rejected them, he frequently vowed that it she would not have him, h e would cut her throat, or employ other means to kill her. On Sunday afternoon lie saw her walking with her favoured lover through some fields near the town, and he immediately followed her, and pulling out of his pocket a clasp knife, began to sharpen it upon a Stone, saying, that If she did not leave the arm of the young man, and walk with him, he would cut her throat. She, however, as well as the young man she was walking with thought that the prisoner was merely holding out some idle threats which he never meant to put in execution, and therefore they walked on and took little or no notice of him. He, however, continued to follow them, mid at length he made a rush at the female and 'cut her throat. Dr. R. IL Powell, surgeon, who was immediately sent for to attend the female, stated that the wound was five inches in length, on the left side of the throat. It was a ragged incision, and extended from below upwards, and from behind forwards.- It had nearly severed the jugular vein, but the a t carotid artery had very narrowly escaped, in consequence of the edge of the knife not bein g s t ra i ght. He added, that it would be extremely b dangerous for the y oung woman to be removed at present for week. e purpose of givi ng ev i dence. The prisoner was remanded for a.

IREL AND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, J 171.711 B.—The weekly meeting of the association was held this day, T. F. Meagher, Esq., in the chair. The SECRETARY read a letter from Mr. Smith O'Brien, accepting the invitation to a public dinner and banquet, but suggesting that it would be better to postpone the affair till the return of the Irish Members from London. It was then moved and adopted that the letter of Mr. O'Brien be referred to the committee appointed to carry out the arrangements. Mr. D. O'CoNNELL, jun., moved the expulsion of Mr. Archdeacon (a repeal warden of Liverpool) from the asso ciation, for recommending the adopti on of physical force as a means of acquiring the repeal of the union. Mr. STEELE seconded the motion, and briefly explained the principle of the association, which deprecated anything bordering on the recommendations of Mr. Archdeacon. The SECRETARY read letters from several repeal Members of Parliament (in answer to a circular) announcing their in tention to attend in Parliament to assist in opposing the Coercion Bill. Mr. J. M. BARRY (barrister) addressed the meeting at considerable length. A letter was also read from Mr. Smith O'Brien, in reference to the payment by the association of the fees to which he was liable on his discharge from custody. He accepted the offer of the association to refund the sum, which amounted to 41/. Gs. Bd. Captain BRODERICK, in addressing the meeting, announced that the Whigs have resolved on aiding the repeal party in opposing the Coercion Bill. The amount of rent up to post hour (three o'clock) is said to be 100/. THE LATE GOVERNMENT INQUIRY. The result of the inquiry into the conduct of Mr. French, resident magistrate in Westmeath, which had been instituted by the Government at the instance of Sir Francis Hopkins, transpired to-day. The Lord-Lieutenant, with a view to mark his disapproval of the part taken by Mr. French (in regard to the depositions of Sir Francis against Brian Seery, who was lately executed), has directed that that gentleman should be removed from Westmeath to anotbex district. ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN IVESTIifEATH. The Evening Mail states that Brian Kenny, steward of Sir John Nugent, Bart., in the county of Westmeath, was fired at and seriously wounded on Saturday evening. UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. There was an examination to fill a vacant fellowship last week. There were nine competitors. This day Mr. Ingram was declared the successful candidate. THE HYDROPATHIC SYSTEM. Yesterday Mr. W. Payne resumed the inquiry at the King's Head, Eastcheap, as to the death of Mr. Richard Dresser, who was alleged to have died from improper treat ment at the Hydropathic Establishment of Dr. Ellis, Strad brooke Park, Petersham. Since then the case appears to have caused much addi tional interest, and Mr. Prendergast appeared for Dr. Ellis, and Mr. Jones, of Size-lane, for the friends of the deceased. The first witness examined was James Maynard, the bath man at the asylum, and from his testimony it appeared that the deceased was at Dr. Ellis's from Friday week to the 3d inst., having gone there at his own desire for rheumatism. He had baths every morning at a temperature of 85, in which he remained ninety seconds. Tapioca and bread and butter were supplied to him for breakfast, but he complained to his wife of being kept very humble, which he had not been used to. The witness also took up occasionally a jug of warm, and another of cold wa t er , w i t h a bandage, but this was applied by Dr. Ellis, who sat up with him. He died on Tuesday morning. By Mr. Prendergast—He took all the food he wished. Never took cold water up without some warm. Dr. Ellis's diagnosis of the case was read, from which it seemed the deceased had first been treated for rheumatism, and subsequently, according to the document, for liver com plaint, and inflammation, and suppuration. Mr. Waterworth, of the New Kent-road, surgeon, the part ner of Mr. Hicks, who was examined on the first day, having jointly made the post mortem examination, said D r. Ellis's paper did not agree with witness's exainiritttionn any one point. He had known the deceased for six or seve n l years. He was generally in good health, but was death t th a strong man. He saw him last in April. The cause of was congestion of inflammation oreart suppuration andlungs. of the There i w lv e was no andap pearance of tht the application of cold or hot baths, even if he had been so attacked, would have been very improper except for a short time. He believed the congestion was the result of some cold application, or exposure to the atmosphere. The CORONER summed up at great length, and pointed out what the law was laid down to be in the case of St. John Long, and left it for them to decide whether Dr. Ellis was a man of competent skill, and had acted with due caution or in a spirit of rashness. The jury retired for some time, and the foreman said, " We find that the deceased lost his life through improper treatment at the asylum." The CORONZR—Do you mean great rashness on the part of Dr. Ellis? The juryagain retired, and finally delivered this verdict:— " That the deeeased died from the effects of the rash treat ment of Dr. Ellis, against wh om we return a verdict ofman slaughter." Ellis Dr. then entered into his own recognizances of 5004 and two sureties of 250/., to appear at the next sessions of the ,Criminal Court.

Y. Welch, late treasurer of the Birmingham Workhouse, was resumed at the public-office of that borough on Monday, and adjourned to Tuesday, when the prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next War wick assizes on a charge of embezzling the money of the parish. Bail was offered, hut the magistrates, in consideration of the serious character of the offence, did not feel themselves justified in ac cepting it. PRICE OF WHEAT.—A return bas been issued by order of the House of Lords, showing the lowest and highest prices o f wheat as sold in the markets of Uxbridge, Guildford, Wisbeacli, and Ely, in each week, from the let of May, 1845, to the end of April, 1846. The highest price during the whole ofthat period, in Uxbridge market was 80s, in the week ending 29th of November last, and the lowest 405 , which was the price several times during the sante period. In Guildford market the highest price was 755., in Octobet, uy. and at two or three other times, and the lo wes t 40s. in February. At Wisbeach, the highest price reached was 775. in the week ending 4th of October, and the lowest 225. [Q uery, 32 s. ? it is, however, printed 225. in the return], in the week ending 17th of May, 1845. At Ely market the highest price attained Was 705., in the weeks ending Ist of November and 13th o f D ecember, and the lowest was 231, in the WOOk ending nth Vf November. - S U N r 7N?-7-ky .441A=Y- ~L ';• r- ~ MOSQUI ~~:~ -- \~` me King of Mosquitia ( a Cerrito the " Mosquito shore") has issued a 140, 0 , vvi fi n ey the purpose of regulating and registe Orktf6. *&- um made in that country to European settlers. As this brings the subject under our notice, it may not be uninteresting to give some account of the present state of this country, which is not a little singular, in reference to its connexion with British subjects, Its extent is about the same as England ; it possesses several fine harbours, is watered by numerous rivers, enjoys a salubrious climate and a fer tile soil, and is in every way admirably adapted for colo uisation, the more especially as it is in this immediate vicinity that the projected communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will probably be made. The present Ki ng i s a minor. The late King, his father, dyi ng a few years ago, left a will, in which he appointed certain Englishmen to be guardians to his children and administrators of the affairs of the kingdom during the minority of his son. These gentle men were the Commandant at Belize, a neigh bouring British settlement ; the chaplain to the station, and two or three other gentlemen of that place, with power to fill up any vacancies, and to add to their number. It appears that these persons have entered upon the duties of their office, for the proclamation, although in the name of the King, is stated to be " with the advice of his guardians." It also appears from the terms of the proclamation that a new regulation is to be enforced with respect to grants of land, which we understand has become necessary in consequence of certain grants having been fraudulently obtained, and in some instances con flicting claims made for the same land. The sovereignty of this valuable country has been re peatedly offered to the British Crown, and the offer has as often been daiined. We will not now stop to inquire into the wisdom of such refusal ; but it is evident that the British Government is not disposed to suffer such a territory to become a dependency of any other Power, from the fact that they have recently accredited an agent to that kingdom, and from their having deputed the superintendent of Belize to attend the coronation of the King as the representative of the British Sovereign. We must, therefore, consider Mosquitia as an indepen dent kingdom, and its Sovereign as an acknowledged ally of the British Crown. We have reason to believe that a German company are in treaty for a grant of land in the vicinity of Cape Gracias a Dios, and that a large grant has been ob tained by an English company for the purpose of plant ing a colony on the Black River, a small number of set tlers being already established at Bluefields. Coloniza tion being once commenced, it is probable the tide or immigration will flow strongly towards these shores. Near the sea the climate resembles that of the West Indies ; near the mountains it resembles that of Europe; consequently, the soil produces the s ugar - cane and the indigo plant in one district, while it grows wheat and turnips in another. With these natural advantages this country can only require proper manage ment to make it prosper ; we hope, there fore, that the system of colonization to be adopted for this country may be of such a character that the aborigines may derive solid advantages from it, instead of its proving, as elsewhere, the cause of their destruction. The attempt to civilise the Indian has too often ended in his extermination. We hope this may not be the case in the present instance, but that the persons in whose hands have been placed in so unusual a manner the destinies of this people, will not lose sight of the grand objeet of their trust—the prosperity of the King their ward, and of the people who are entrusted to their care ; but, by adopting wise and prudent measures they may have the proud satisfaction of exhibiting to the world the unwonted spectacle of a tribe of Indians benefited and civilized by their contact with Europeans, taking their place among enlightened nations. The following is the PROCLAMATION. " We, George, by the grace of God King of Mos quitia (otherwise called the Mosquitia territory) acting by the advice of the guardians appointed under the will of our late father Robert Frederick, King of Mosquitia, do ordain and it is herby ordained accordingly— " 1. All persons, not being our natural born subjects, who claim the right of bolding land in perpetuity within our kingdom by virtue of grants from the Crown, shall without loss of time produce before us, or before the guardians aforesaid, their several grants, or such other papers on which they found their claims, for the purpose of being registered. "2. All grants of land that shall appear to us, or to the guardians aforesaid, to have been justly and properly obtained, or to which the parties shall be found to have otherwise an equitable title, shall be registered in the offices of Government at Bluefields. 4 '3. The ()emission of land by all persons, not being natives of our kingdom, which shall not be duly regis tered as aforesaid, is illegal, and such land shall be in revert to the Crown. " 4. All our magistrates are directed to facilitate the registration of grants within their respective jurisdic tions, and to dispossess and expel from their usurped lands all occupiers (not being natural-born subjects of our kingdom) whose claims have not been duly re gistered. _ "5. Claims for registration may be made, at the op tion of the claimants, either at the residence of Mr. David Kilpatrick, clerk of the courts at Bluefields ; or in England, at the office of Messrs. Barron and Smith, army agents, No. 4, Upper Charles-street, Westminster, London. " In the name of the King, "GEORGE HODGSON, " Court-house, Bluefields, Acting Commandant. 12th day of February, 1846." A. FRIGHTFUL ILLUSTRATION Or SLAVERY. • The following is the leading editorial article in the last Essex Transcript (American paper) :—" Many of our readers have probably seen a paragraph stating that a young slave-girl was recently 'tangent New Orleans, for the crime of striking and abusing her mistress. The religious press of the north has not, so far as we are aware, made any comments upon thi s execut i on. It is too busy pulling the mote out of the eye of the Heathen, to notice the beam in our nominal Christianity ' at home. Yet this case, viewed in all its aspects, is an atrocity, which has, God be thanked, no parallel in hea then lands. It is a hideous offshoot of American Re publicanism and American Christianity. It seems that Pauline—a young and beautiful girl—at • tracted the admiration of her master, and being, to use the words of the law, his " chattel personal to all t intents and purposes whatsoever," became the victim of his lust. So wretched is the condition of the slave woman, that even the brutal and licentious regard of her master is looked upon as the highest exaltation of which her lot is susceptible. The slave-girl in this instance, evidently so regarded it; and, as a natural consequence, in her new condition triumphed over and insulted her mistress—in other words, repaid in some degree the scorn and abuse with which her mistress had made her painfully familiar. The laws of the Christian State of Mississippi inflict the punishment of death upon the slave who lifts his or her hand against a white person. Pauline was accused of beating her mistress, tried, and found guilty, and condemned to die. But it was dis covered on the trial that she was in a condition to be come a mother, and her execution was delayed until the birth of the child. She was conveyed to the prison cell. There for many weary months, uncheered by the voice of kindness, alone, hopeless, desolate, she waited r m iserable death. etin, ' for the advent of the new and quickening life within her, be the called alied to ma hersown signal of w A h n i d ch th w e " bells he and Methodists sang, and Baptists immersed , and Pres byterians sprinkled—and young mothers smiled through s an d prayer -meet i ng, , m e tears upon their new-born children; and maidens anti matrons of that great city sat in their cool verandahs and talked of love and household joys and domesti c happiness—while all that dreary time, the poor s l ave . girl lay on the scanty straw of her dungeon, waiting with what agony the dear and pitying God of the whit e , and the black only knows, for the birth of the child o f her adulterous master.

Everya m m o n r u n e i morning, the place was so barred up by military and police, that the. people were completely excluded from all approach to the scaffold. The prisoner, in conformity with his sentence, walked barefooted, and with a black veil over his face, from the prison ac ross th e garden of the Luxem b ourg, on l eaving which he mounted a cart, attended by the Abbe Grivel, for whom he seemed to have formed a sort of affection, and in whose hands he was quite docile.
