REJOICINGS IN PERTH. —-- - - Perth Constitutional Office, Saturday Forenoon, May 2. No sooner had the news of the preservation of the 'South Inch, by the Parliamentary Committee, reached Perth this morning, than the magistrates met and ordered joyous peals to be rung from the steeples of the city churches, which were repeated at short intervals during the day. The Union Jack was hoisted at the Council Hall, and the Royal Standard floated over the embrasures of the old tower of St. John's. The battery on Bellwood-terrace sent forth its thunders, which reverberated through the echoes of Moredun and Kinnoull Hills. The expressions of joy were universal; and the working-classes are preparing for a demonstration and grand procession in the afternoon. PERTH, SATURDAY(F E RZ N A iNG C!_RR A Er 11,0111 D particulars of the proceed ings of the Committee No. 6 Group have been given in The Sun, which have been read with much attention in this quarter, from the interest felt in connexion with the railways entering Perth, I send e you some particul ars of the reception with which the decision ecision of that Committee was received in Perils this forenoon. The city of Perth, th e ancient capitalof co S tl d and, Is situated in a beautiful valley on the ba n k s of the river Ta-V, an the town are large parks op en to the communit , y r th on t each side of being the gift of one of the Ki ngs of Scotland to the citizens r recreation, for their sale use and benefit for ever. Th ey are known by of Perth, by the name of Inches, or Islands, being surrounded by small streams of water on one side and the river Tay on the other. The South Inch contains about 50 acres, and is planted with groups and rows of fine old trees. On this piece of ground the railway companies have been contending with the inhabitants to appropriate it as the site for their railwa3- terminus—thus destroying the beauty of one of the greatest orna ments of the town, and shutting out the inhabitants from their own pleasure ground. They have used every means that interest or money could do to obtain their object, and would have succeeded but for the exertions of our respected Lord Provost, and other patriotic gentlemen, who stepped forward, and at a great sacrifice of money and time got the case properly represented before Sir J. C. Hobhouse and the Committee, who, after hearing evidence, have finally decided that no railway terminus shall be placed OR any portion of the South Inch, or park, and that no railway shall be allowed to cross this beautiful green. The decision was given on Thursday, and on the arrival of the news to-day gave universal setisfaction to rich and poor. A considerable crowd was in waiting at the post-office, and the announcement was read by a gentleman in the street from a private letter, and received with great cheering; the bells of the city rung a merry peal, flags were hoisted at the Town-house, and the ancient royal standard floated over the steeple of St. John's ; the rock artillery fired a royal salute from the battery at. Bellwood, the property of Archibald Turnbull, Esq. Several thousands of the working classes met on the South Inch this evening, and passed res,lutions thanking the Lord Provost and other members of council for their exertions in saving their pleasure ground. After giving three hearty cheers for Sir John Cam Hob house and other members of Committee, and three cheers for the Queen, the meeting quietly dispersed, accompanied by the bands of music and banners to the severed districts of the town. No measure has created such excitement in Perth since the passing of the Reform Bill, and joy and satisfaction is generally diffused among all ranks that their privileges are preserved from destruction by the railway companies.

FRENCH PLAYS. A new petite comedie, by Scribe—a new vaudeville, by Bayard and Charles Lafont—and the first appearance in England of Mademoiselle Rose Cheri, were the attractions which last night drew a crowded and fasbionable audience to this delightful theatre. gademoiselle Rose Cheri is an actress of very versatile powers—young, pretty, and an artiste, in the best sense of the word ; and, popular as she is in Paris, her popularity in London will quite equal it. She appeared, first of all, in Scribe's one act petite comedie of Genevieve, ou, La Jalousie Paternelle, in which she sustained the part of Genevie6e, a young girl of seventeen, the only daughter of Clerambourgh (admirably acted by M. Cartigny ), a rich merchant of Marseilles, who is so devotedly at tached to his daughter that he is even jealous of her lover and although seemingly desirous that she should marry, yet he makes strenuous objections to every suitor whom he thinks she loves. She loves Adrian (M. Ulric) her premiere commis, but pretends to be perfectly indifferent towards him. The consequence is, the father presses the match with Adrian, and presses it the more vehemently because he will not be in that case deprived of the society of his daughter on her marriage. Of course, all three are eventually made happy. This character was most artistically delineated by Madlle. Rose Cheri. There was a great deal of naiveté in her affected simplicity, and her professions of implicit obedience to her father's will, while she was at the same time bending her father to her own wishes; and she gave the beautiful little touches of parental love—for sh e rea thelly lovespart, her father—which occur here and there throu g hout • with the most touching pathos. Th e applause was en thusiastic at the fall of the curtain, and she was called for thean d w yo el a c i oz , ed simple,wit hyecatrtyespc4eieers -hearted girl. was and I a w G a e r a m e In Viz Chan eat de Matne, the vaudeville which followed, she was dignified, haughty, and majestic, as an Empress, who by chance discovers she has a heart, and is found at llst to sink the Empress in the woman and to con fess she loves.

The acting of Mademoiselle Rose Cheri as Elizabeth was superb—it was de la haute Comedze . in the very highest sense of the phrase. She was admirably supported by Rhozevil, as Alexis, the young captive who eventually subdues the heart of the Empress, Dumery, as the red-tape minister of police, and Lemadre, as the stiff old martinet of a major, the governor of the fortress in which Alexis has been confined. Mademoiselle Heloise, as Fedora, the Major's daughter, looked ver y we ll, an d ac t e d very archly. The piece altogether was very strongly cast. THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI.—The Green Bushes, a new drama, written by Mr. Buckstone, for the Adelphi, London, where it ran a whole seam, was produced here on Monday even ing, Madame Celeste t a ki ng h er or i g i na l part o f Mi am i , t h e p l o t being managed expressly for the purpose of developing the peculiar powers of this clever lady. Madame Celeste's Miami was, as might be expected, graceful and impressive. Her fine figure and agile movements suited the wild child of the woods ; and, availing herself of studied situations, her every attitude was a beautiful picture. Her imperfect English also suited the circumstances ; but we have long been of opinion -that the play writers have totally mistaken her forte, which is not melo-dramatic posturing, but deep passion and intense feeling. lit Marie Ducange she exhibits powers, in the legitimate drama, not to he equalled, except by Mrs. Kean and Miss Faucit.— Liverpool Journal. ADELPHI THEATRE ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.—Madame Celeste, who looks young and is as fascinating as ever, has been the pre,sidlag star during the past week. Her inimitable personation of Miami, in the Green Bushes, was most exciting. The piece was exceedingly well ga up, and placed upon the stage in a manner highly creditableto the management, with appropriate scenery and dresses.—Liverpool Journal and Chronicle. Ricca ACTRESSES.—Mrs. Kean, Madlle. Taglioni, Fanny Kemble, Fanny Elisler, Miss Stephens (now Dowager Countess of Essex), Miss Sheriff, and many others, have accumulated large fortunes by their profession. We believe the richest actress on the stage at present is Madame Celeste, who, independent of pos sessing a handsome revenue, the produce of her past and present exertions, has just taken possession (sifter much litigation) of h o er la . te husband's property, which is said to amount to upwards of 10 i :r an ELOPEMENT. — The gossips in Taunton have.' interesting subject to chat about during the last few days—an elope ment—quite an event in these unromantic, matter -o _ worthy clergYmarl , The gay Lothario was a pupil in the house of a that for some time and last week appears interesting pur trhesaindititevtr•eifvmernentwdotumtoirle,:hoofoTsearatidon. , It t o a d p the damsel nothing less the young gentleman had devoted himself to a "tied the nuptial knot."

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Adam and Eve public-house, Chelsea, upon the body of Jane Clark, who met with her death on Saturday last, by being thrown over Battersea-bridge by her mother. The first witness examined was James Reid Clark, who depOsed— lam the father of the deceased, and am a painter and glazier. I reside a' No. 7, Cumberland -street, Chelsea. I saw deceased alive last on Saturday morning, at about a quarter to five o'clock. She was in bed with me. I left home at five o'clock. There were three children at home at the time ; they were William Masherday Clark, aged seven years; Emma Clark, aged two years; and the deceased. Jane Clark, aged twelve months. They were all in good health at the time. My wife also appeared in good health. By the CORONER—Did you make any remark when you left ? Witness—Yes ; I said I should not be home very early, as I was going to have some beer with my fellow-workmen. Tl.e CORONER—How long have you been married? Witness-- About four years. • _ CORONER—Was she a sober woman ? Witness—Very sober. CORONER—Had she ever complained of pains In her head ? wit ness—No ; at least not to me. CORONER—What time did you return home on Friday night ? Witness—About half-past eleven. CORONER—Were you sober at the time ? Witness—Not perfectly sober ; but I knew what I was about. CORONER—Did your wife ever attempt to poison herself? Wit ness—About a month after she had her first child, when I returned home I heard she had been sick, and was informed that she had taken poison, but she soon recovered. At this stage of the inquiry the CORONER sa!d, he very much re gretted that they could not have the woman present, as he miht make any statements that aff ec t e d th e woman, and she had no means of refuting them, however false they might be. The next witness was James Perryman, the potboy at the Adam and Eve. He said—About three o'clock on Saturday last I was in the back yard of this house. I heard a splash in the water, which called my attention to the bridge. I then saw a child thrown over the bridge, and almost immediately another. I saw a woman on the bridge. I raa in and told my master, who immediately put off a boat to their assistance. I then ran towards the bridge, and I saw a man bringing the body of a child up the steps of the bridge. By the CORONER—WouId you know thewoman again? Witness Certainly. I saw her afterwards en the bridge. Thoraas Fredery, a Waterman, deposed to hearing an alarm, and put off his boat, and recovered the body of the deceased. Jesse Hattam, gardener to the Earl of Besborough, said he was crossing the bridge at about three o'clock on Saturday last, when his attention was directed to a woman rapidly crossing from one side of the bridge to the ether. I said to her "My good woman, what are you going to do ?" She said, pointing to the water, " Look, there are my children." She had held of the railing of the bridge as if she would Jump over. The CORONER, after stating to the jury that it would be necessary to have the body of deceased opened to ascertain the precise cause of death, adjourned the inquiry for a week.
