A better " first night" ensemble there bay pr oaably never been, and each scene made menifest the careful training end hearty good la ill of the various performers. Nur was this kindly feeliag confined to one side of the lamps, for the audience generally testified with considerable warmth, on every possible occasion, their earnest de sire to give the music of his Royal Highness a cordial reception. The music, though on the whole cleverly written, especially for the instrunwnts, is deficient in decision of style. There is a patchiness throughout which frustrates cur attempt to trace the author's in spirations to any one model. We remarked frequent reminiscences of Aleyerbeer, of Dunisetti, Flotovv, Ch'pisson, Auher, tac., &c., mixed up ()duly enough with little tormenting snatches of fugal counterpart. Much of the coecerted mush-, moreover, is badly voiced, and the orchestration occasionally confused, and overwhelming for the singers. Notwithstaedieg these defects, however, there is still a great deal of merit in his Royal Highness's work. It contains ms.ny agreeable phrases, ingenious harmonics; ;tend• frequently evidences a strong feeling for dramatic effect. We have heard worse operas by professional writers, even of celebrity ; and amongst the theatrical compositions cf amateurs, we assuredly know of nothing better. The " book" of Casilda is not bril liant, but it acts pleasantly enough, and affords ample scope for scenic effect. The scene is laid in the pic turesque land of Spain ; and we have interesting old Moorish buildings, pretty costumes, characteristic dances, a sunny sky, luxuriant vegetation, and' a band of gipsies, who play an important part in the action. The plot runs thus :—Alfonso, a young nobleman (Signor Calzolari), has fled in di-guise from Madrid, in consequence of having (as he imagines) killed his adversary in a duel. Arrived at Seville he joins a band of gipsies, of whom Ca silda Charton), a beautiful young creature, gifted with extraordinary vocal and poetical powers, is the queen. Fascinated by her genius and loveli• ness, he offers her his hand, which she accepts, to the great dismay of Gomez, one of the gipsies (Sig• nor &Ishii), also her suitor, who vows vengeance against his rival. An opportunity soon presents itself for the execution of his malicious purpose; for Casilda being summoned by Don Luigi, Governor of Seville (Signor de Bassiei), to sing at a fête which he gives at his palace in honour of the birth day of his betrothed, Donna Anna (Mdme. de la Grange), the discovery is made that Don Alfonso, who accompanies the gipsy, is a former lover of Donna Anna, and that it was in defence of be honour that he engaged in the supposed fatal duel. Gomez now works successfully upon the jealousy of Luigi and Casilda. Many unhappy contretemps and " hair-breadth 'scapes " consequently take piece, but everything is eventually set right by the arrival of news from Madrid that Alfonso a antagonist, though severely wounded, was not killed; and that the gipsy's affianced husband has been pardoned by the King. Alfonso now declares publicly his determination to wed Casilda ; and Donna Anna, contented to see her ci•devant lover and chivalrous defender happy with another, fulfils her engagement with Don Luigi, who possesses the next claim to her affection. These are slender materials for a "grand opera," but the acts are short, and the piece is so judiciously con. structed, and many of the " situations" so intereSt ing and effective, that we can remain to the end with' out ennui. Mdme. Charton, as the heroine, never ap peared either as actress or Singer to greater advantage The fair artist was warmly applauded in all her. efforts; but it was in the second act, where Casilda, smarting under the pangs of newly-awakened jea lousy, extemporises a song, in which she allegorically describes the feelings which rack her bosom, that Mdme. Charton was most admirable, and excited the greatest enthusiasm. Mdrne, de la Grange had but an insignificant " walking-lady" kind of part ; but she contrived to make it very prominent, and by her wonderful vocalisation to elicit a rapturous encore for an air which has but Title merit in itself. Signori de Bassini and Calzolari are also entitled to high eulogy for the artistic man ner in which they supported their respective charac ters; and the band, chorus, and corps de ballet, were even more than usually efficient. The mice en sane reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Harris, the clever stage director. It is replete with colour and cha racter, and nothing better of its kind has been seen in any London theatre. The principal performers were called for three times in the course of the opera, and a most enthusiastic encore was awarded to a lively chorus, excellently sung in the third act. Mr. Balfe conducted with his customary spirit and precision ; and the general perfcrmance was most honourable to the management. The entertainments concluded with the highly-popular ballet, entitled Zelie ; ou r Amour et la Illagie," in which the accomplished Caroline Rosati displayed her rare talent to the greatest possible advantage.

On Wednesday a public dinner tech place iu the As sembly Rooms at Totnes, to commemorate the victory recently obtained by the Reformers in this borough get ting the representation of both seats. There were about 150 gentlemen present. Mr. W. F. Windeatt presided, and Mr. J. R. Fogwill acted as vice ; president. Mr. T. Mills, M.P., was present, but Lord Seymour, who was at Maiden Bradley, Warminster, had received the invi tation at so late a period as not to permit of his being present. Mr. G. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. Lindsay, the recent candidate for Dartmouth, were also invited, but were unable to be present. The usual loyal toasts were drunk, after which the Chairman proposed the toast of the evening, the health of its Members. Mr. Mills, in replying, adverted with pleasure to the result of the contest. He said that after the Tories had had one seat for thirteen years, he had wrested it from them, and had obtained it by a larger majority, than all the majorities put together' in all the contests that the Tories had lied during that time. Mr. Mills promised that he would pay the electors tin annual visit, to render them an account of his stewardship, and that if any of his votes were not satisfactory to a majority of his constituents he would resign. Mr. J. Neale, barrister, of the Oxford Circuit, replied to the toast of the electors of Dartmouth, by detailing some very gross cases of coercion that are now being put in force in that borough against persons who voted for the Liberal candidate, and loudly demanded the ballot, et which the whole company rose and gave three times three cheers. Mr. Neale also stated that it was his intention to immedi ately organise_ a reform association for South Devon, in order to wrest the representation of South Devon from the Tories. Mr. Latimer, of the Western Times, re sponded for the electors of Exeter, and followed up the remarks of Mr. Neale on coercion, by showing that the representation of South Devon, which was formerly in the hands of the yeomen, had been wrested from them by the organization of the landlords and their intimi dating their tenantry. Some of the latter, who had dared to vote as they liked, had been turned out of their farms, and told to go and tell the reason why in the market places. Mr. Tucker, of Ashburton, Mr. Chalker, - of Dart mouth, and other gentlemen spoke, tied the evening was passed in the most pleasant and egreeable manner.

TIME - S.—Yesterday commenced the second era in the eventful history of the Great Exhibition of All Nations. Beneath a cloudless sky, amid the enthusias tic applause of a large and distinguished audience, was raised the first column of a structure which, if it at ell correspond is fidelity of execution to the canceptioa of its founder, may challenge comparison with anything in the world for the majesty and beauty of its site, and the grace, lightness, variety, and utility of its fabric. It is related in the touching narrative of the Jewish capti vity that those among the people who remembered the glory of the first temple wept when they saw the inferio rity of the second, but in this instance there is no reason to tear that the most devoted admirer of the Crystal Pa lice of 1851 will have cause to sigh over the differenco between it and the Crystal Palace of 1853. Loftier in design, more varied in outline, with infinitely more et architectural beauty and pretension, it will form a land mark to which every eye will instinctively turn in one of the fairest districts in England, and, no longer fenced in by the streets and squares of a mighty city, it will occupy as prominent and conspicuous a position in the prospect, as it is destined to do in the history of London, cud will stand forth from the norizen of the mighty city an object for ever recalline, amid the hum aed bustle of every day life, the existence of truths higher than those of the multiplication or the interest table, and of tastes and enjoyments which do not require wealth for their gratification. Unlike its predecessor, the creation of a few months, and the wonder of a few more, the mission of the new Crystal Palace purports to be, not of an age, but for ell time. It is not a toy to be used for a single summer and then thrown aside, but a permanent addition to the means of amusement and in struction possessed by England and the world. A fair constantly open, a bas tar of new and ever varying at tractions, an exhibition of all that is curious in art and beautiful in nature, the natural receptacle of every new invention, the natural laboratory for the construc tive intellect of the country—such a building under takes to discharge functions, of which the brief and glo rious vision of the former exhibition may enable as to form some guess, but surely not a complete or ad' quato conception, It is pleasing to view an old cathedral, and to thi n k that there, for hundreds of years , the same worship has been offered under the same roof; but the destinies of this edifice are, in one respect, even more striking, for it is destined to behold and to con tain the results of the gradual improvement of nine°, and to bo th e fi rst witness of every victory which man wins from the hidd en and reluctant laws of nature. Ilow puny and infantine are the triumphs we have already obtained compared with those that lie before us, and on what spot of earth can descend a nobler destiny than to be the appointed treasure -house of the spoils which the human intellect shall bear off as trophies of its victories in the field of knowled ge ? B ut not on l y does th e new Crystal Palace differ in per manence f rom the old o ne , the principle of its foundation is of a di rectly opposite, and, C a l we think, of a very superior Palace was an offeting by character. The old the rich and the enlightened, attaining financial results of a most brilliant na n tu r n ra, P r b fi ut founded with other views than those experiment on the taste P end' feeling "' a o s f t a h e great a- tier), the credit of which belong e d to the subscribers and p ro j ectors. The ,and second Crystal Pal ace is a purely commerci a l speculation. is in our opinion, on that account, so mu c h th e better. It patience that we hoar fe e bl e and abortivwiete u h tem som p e ts to im patience divest it of this its real and undoubted character, t and to persuade the public that it is to b e carried onwith a view to higher and more disinterested motives than usually actuate the directors and shareholders of a joint stock company. We rejoice, on the other band, tbat there is sufficient evidence of a refined and elegant taste among the working-classes, of a love of beauty and a search for knowledge to justify a commercial association in exhausting every device which art and skill can sug gest to gratify these tastes and propensities. Other cities of Europe are rich in palaces, raised by hard earnings extorted from the hands of a starving people. In London alone shall the people build a palace for themselves, not by compulsory tribute, but by free offerings, not to gra tify the caprice of a tyrant, but to obtain an honour able profit for money expended in promoting the im provement of mankind. It is a mistake to suppose that commercial associations can only be employed in grati fying low and material wants. This will undoubtedly bo the case so long es the people have no higher or nobler craving to gratify, bat in proportion as they be come elevated by education and enlightenment, the obe jects of such associations will rise also, and we shall find a joint-stock company just as powerful an instrument in the cultivation of tastes, and the promotion of science, when once the masses have come to desire these things, as in whirling us over the surface of the earth, or tear ing our path through the waves of the sea. The commercial principle supersedes the necessity of an Augustan age ; literature. needs no patron but the public; and philanthropy has nothing to ask from the great so long as she can show an unexceptionable balance-sheet. Probably the least felicitous part of the proceedings of yesterday we the pompous enumeration of the great mon who honoured the undertaking by their patronage. We confess that if its success de pended on the smiles of the great instead of the favour of the little, we should look forward to it with less confidence. The real charm of the undertaking is, that it is founded on a principle which dispenses with such things, and they but little know of what spirit they are of who seek to invest so noble a scheme with additional attractions, by the recital of an empty catalogue of distinguished names. We are happy in the belief that the danger which menaced this excellent undertaking from the misdirected zed of men who will not remember that the Sabbath was made for men and not man for the Sabbath, hss passed away. To shut up the building and park on Sunday afternoon would be to the working classes of London an entire exclusion frosts the benefit intended; and must almost, of necessity, be fatal to the scheme itself. The experiment is yet to be tried whether, by offering the working man innocent be may not be induced to and wholesome enjoyment, spend in the work of self-improvement some of those few hours in which.cessation from toil leaves him to feel the full weight of unoccupied existence. Will those who would shut the doors of the Crystal Palace on Sunday provide the poor with any entertainment equally innocent and equally attractive? If the poor man is to be called upon, in the name of religion, to sacrifice the afternoon of his weekly holiday, let us be quite sure that it is not in the interest of the tea-garden d or the public. house that . concession is deman e e cannot but tuink that the contemplation of a gio n r h m i u n s d land y se tt sp d e and of all the wonders of creation which research can collect under a any othe u rs . ences more elevating and chastening single roof,thwaonuldnbeetriefin which are likely to preside over the Sunday afternoon of the weary artisan.

C lend Robert Mercer, Comtnandant of the Woolwich division, has fourteen days' leave of absence. Lieutenant Colonel M'Adam, Captain Congden, Cap tain Penrose, Lieutenant and Quartermaster Dyer, Lieutenant Dougla9, and Lieutenant Harrington have each of them two months' leave of absence, which will expire on the 3J of October, 1852. An augmentation of this corps is much required, as there are so many men serving afloat that the duty is heavy for those at head-quarter stations. When the re lict at Deptford took place last week, a detachment of the Royal Artillery had to do duty at Woolwich Dock yard. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK, (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The health of London in the week ending Saturday, 31st July, has been disturbed by the prevalence of summer cholera and diarrhoea, yet the deaths have been 1,040, or 118 below the weekly average, which in the previous ten years was, when corrected for in crease of population, 1,158. 532 males and 508 fe males died in the week; the mortality bore moat heavily on early life ' • for of 1,040 who died, 586 were children under 15 years of age, 289 were in the middle stage of life extending from 15 to 60, and 165 were of the age of 60 and upwards. A woman at tained the advanced age of 96. One death in seven occurred in a public institution : namely, 92 in work houses, 39 in hospitals, 6 in lunatic asylums, I in prison, Bin Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals. The districts of Chelsea and Greenwich, as well as Ken sington and Wandsworth, experienced more than the usual mortality. During the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-pot; 2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccina tion. Fifteen children were left unprotected by their parents, and died the victims of this negligence; 54 children died of scarlatina, which is prevalent; 34 per sons of typhus; 145 of consumption; 45 children of convulsions; 31 persons (all, except two , foadults)o2fsdi sease of en enteritis; tisl4 0 heart; 17 t disease of of h bronchitis; te liver; and pneumonia; violence. Diarrheea was the reigning disease; it was fatal to 110 children, 7 adults, and 8 persons of advanced age. It often approached in the severity of its symptoms to summer cholera, of which 10 children, 4 adults, and: persons over the age of 60 died. Here, as in epidemics cholera, early and prompt medical treatment is ca l l e d f or. The following are the returns of the 16 cases of cholera registered in the week. In conformity with a suggestion in the cholera report, " summer" has been substituted .throughout for "En g li s h" c h o l era, w hich is often used in the medi ca l cert ifi cates, although the disease preva il s ell over the world, and is by no means confined to Eng land:— At 28, Hampden-stre e t s b 28th July, ,widow t s h s e ex s _O OB n fclu o aa f rs "summer chole ra loc omotive n e:rv. t John, s 7 month (7 t. da M ys a ) r . y ” , Paddington, on Ju A ly t , t l h B e , s Paddington, on 27th west Islingt on , 46 years, "summer ch( A }l;r i a s , , su p p e p in re b a r s o e k d e o .c r o t t ie tn a g ri cas .:' Islingt on , on 27t h July, the widow of a cur r i er , aged 77 years, "summer (5 s h-ll Ferry, d h a i ys)2 Upper Cl a pt on, on 29th July, t he eshonoAleotr llfatga braid manut .cturer, aged 20 months ~ diarrh (8 days), cholera ( 6 days)."

Mr. Bensted, the registrar of St. John, sub-district, observes—" This is the first case of malignant cholera in my district during this season, bat it has occurred in a street in which the cholera most fearfully raged in 1849; the first and last cases of cholera (in my district) of that year took place in this street. The beadle informs me that the inhabitants complain bitterly cf the landlord's neglect in not attend ing to the cesspools of the house, 5, Fair-street, and I can certify to the tenants making the same complaint in 1849 in this and in other houses in the same street, where cases of cholera occurred."
