A better " first eight" ensemble there has probably :never been, and each scene made manifest the careful training and hearty gaud will of the various performers. Nor was this kindly feeling 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, espettielly for the instrutrients, is deficient in decision of style. There is a patchiness throughout which frustrates our attempt to trace the author's in spirations to any one model. We remarked frequent remiaiscences of Meyerbecr, of Donizetti, Fiotow, Clepisson, Aube:, &c., &c., mixed up oddly enough with little tormenting snatches of fugal counterpart. Much of the concerted music., moreover, is badly voiced, anti the orchestration occasionally confused, - and overwhelming for the ringers. Notwithstanding these defects, however, there is still a great deal of merit in his Royal Highness's work. It contains many agreeable phrases, ingenious harmonics, and frequently evidences a strong feeling for dramatic effect. We have heard worse operas by professional writers, even of celebrity ; and amongst the theatrical compositions of amateurs, we assuredly know of nothing better.. Toe " 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 dancer, a sunny sky, luxuriant vegetation, and a band of gipeies, who play an important part in the action. The plot runs thus :—Alfonso, a young nobleman (;signor Calzolari), has fled in disguise from Madrid, in consequence of having (as he imagines) killed his adversary in a duel. Arrived at Seville be joins a band of gipsice, of whom Ca silda (Sidme. Charton), a beautiful young creature, gifted with extraordinary vocal and poetical powers, is the queen. Fascinated by her genius and loveli• ness, he effers her his hand, which she accepts, to the great dismay of Gomez, one of the gipsies (Sig- nor Susini), 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 Bassini), to sing at a fete which he gives at hi s p a l ace i n h onour o 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 Anne, and that is was in defence of her honour that he engaged in the supposed fatal dud. Gomez now wotks successfully upon the jealousy of Luigi and Casilda. Many unhappy contretemps and " hair-breadth 'stapes " consequently take place, but everything is eventually set right by the arrival of news from Madrid that Alfonso s 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 Anne, contented to see her ci•derant 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 big and effective, that we can remain to the end with. out ennui. Mdme. Charton, as the heroine, never ap peared either as actre. s 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 pcegs of newly-awekened lousy, extereporisee a song, i n which she allegorically describes the feelings which rack her bosom, that Charton was most admirable, and excited the greatest enthusiasm. Mdrue. 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 hide merit in itself. Signori de Bessini and Calzelari are also entitled to high eulogy for the artistic man ner in which they supported their respective charac ters; and the hand, chorus, and corps de ballet, were even more than usually efficient. The mise en scene 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 Been 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. Belie conducted with bis customary spirit and precision ; and the general performance was most honourable to the management. The entertainments concluded with the highly-popular ballet, entitled Zelie ; ou l' Amour et la Illagie," in which the accomplished C aro li ne Rosati displayed her rare talent to the greatest possible advantage. The house was crowded. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The Prophete was once again played last night in superb st 3 le, to the enthusiastic de light of a fashionable and crowded house.

Alfred Comte d'Orsay died at Paris on Tuesday last. and perhaps no raDn of ruined fortunes and blighted hopes ever left so large a number of admiring and attached friends to mourn his loss. The solution of this social phenomenon is, that his disposition was singularly kind, sy mpat hi zing, and affectionate; and although som3 of the selfishness of the man of the world clung to him as the inevitable result of his course of life, he never contracted the hardness and insensibility of that character. Ils time, his influ ence, his firm judgment, and his purse (so long as there was anything i n i t ) were always at the service of those who w a n t e d them ; and the foolish and wrong actions from w hi c h h e saved hundreds by timely aid or spirited r e m onstrance, will form an ample set-off have h been to tose wch, we fear w ith only too much reason, imputed to hims e lf . He was bo rn t owards the commencement of 1798. His father w as G eneral Comte d'Orsay, a distin guished soldi er o f t h e empire, from whom, however, we believe, he inherited little beyond his gallant spirit, his handsome person, and his name. His only sister, the Duchess de Grmmont, married, when very young, into on e o f t h e historic French families, and we need hardly add, is one of the most beautiful and accomplished women in Prance. He would, Conse quently, have wanted hardly any advantage an llowed the age which birth or connexio n cou l d bestow, had his beenlife v spent in his nativ e country, and h a d he followed originally des tined. Unhappily f or hi m, and for some others whose fate, in their own d es pit e, was inextricably blended with his, he ceased t o res i de in France before his military profession f or which he cva career had well commenced, and he left the army under circumstances w hi c h , after every allowance has been made for the p ecu li ar nature of the tempta tion to which he yielded, must be admitted to have cast a temporary cloud upon his name. It is through no less a p erson than Lord Byron that Count D'Orsay's nam e b ecame first associated with the notabilities of hi s age. It seems that, in 1819 or 1820, the Count h a d paid a visit to London of some month io 'ns s d duration, and h a d k ept a journal of his observat an impressions there. In April, 1823, B vron became acquainted, at Genoa, with Lord an d Lady Blessington, with whom D'Orsay was then travelling, and it would appear from the follow ing letter that the journal was then submitted to the noble poet's persual : ~ I return the Count * *'s Jou rna l , which is a very extraordinary production, and of a most melancholy personally, m ost of the personages and so truth in all that rega r d s hi gh life in England. I know, or knew d e sk s which be describes, and, aft er rea di ng his re marks, have the sensation fresh upon me as if I had seen yesterday. I would, however, plead in behalf of some ptions, which I w ill ment i on by-and-by. The roost singularee thing is ho w h e s h ou l d have pene tratedtileme -aienwsott theex fact, but the mystery of En g li s h ennui, nd-twenty. I was about the same age when I made the seine discovery in almost precisely the same circles (for there is scarcely a person mentioned whom I did not see nightly or daily, and was acquainted more or less intimately with most of them)—but I never could have described it so well. 11 'cut etre Francais,' to this effect." A few days afterwards, Lord Byron addressed d'Orsay himself as follows: "My dear Count . . . . (if you will permit me to ade dress you so familiarly), you should be content with writing in your own language, like Grammont, and suc ceeding in London as nobody has succeeded since the days of Charles the Second and the records of Antonio Hamilton, without deviating into our barbarous lan guage —which you understand and write, however, much better than it deserves. " My ' appi . obation,' as you are pleased to term it, was very sincere, but perhaps not very impartial; for, though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen —at least, such as they now are. And, besides the seduction of talent and wit in your work, I tear that to me there was the attraction of vengeance. 1 have seen and felt much cf what you have described no well. I have known the persons, and the reunions so described (many of them, that is to say), and the portraits are so like that I cannot but admire the painter no less than his perforraance. "hut I am sorry for you; for if you are so well nc quainted with life at your age, what will become of never mind---en avant !—li ve w hil e y ou can; and that you wh en th e ill us i on is still more dissipated? But you may have the full enjoyment of the many ad aan . tapes of youth, talent, and figure, which you possess, is the wish of en—Efiglishman—l suppose, but it is no treason; for my mother was Scotch, and my name and my family are both Norman; and as for myself, I am of no country." D'Orsay's acquaintance with Lady Blessington, which irresistibly swayed the whole current of his life, is said to have commenced about 1822, at Va lence, where his regiment was then quartered. She was then exceedingly handsome, and be was l e d away a willing captive by seductions from whose thrall he never appears to have made so much as one deter mined effort to break free. The first great sacrifice imposed upon him—and to a man of his undoubted courage and sense of military honour it must have been a terrible one —was the abandonment of his profession when his regiment was ordered into active service, on the occasion of the French invasion of Spain, under the Due d'Angouleme, in 1825. Even a call of this peremptory kind could not tear him from the side of the enchantress, and, from gratitude as well as from affection, he remained content to her death. To compensate him in some sort, a marriage was made up, under Lady B lessington's auspices , between him and the daughter of her Lord. It was an unhappy an d most unfortunate union ; and no partial or ind u l gen t feelings should i n d uce us to b e unjust towards the living. towards the dead Lady Harriet was i n t h e fi rst blush of d 3 and she was pre-erninently endowed with beauty, grace, talent, and accomplishment. It is im possible to imagine a more truly femi n i ne , gentle, and winning creature, or one better qualified to aPt predate her husband. She did appreciate him, and the misfortune was that he never appreciated her; indeed, he never lived enough with her to know the value of what he was throwing away. Her youth, hardly fortune was very large, and the greater part of it was left at his disposal. It is supposed that he received—or that his creditors or assignees received —in one shape or • m her Irish estates . another, more than 100,0001 . fro This is the p ar t o f hi s story to gloss ov er ; b ut i t i s too notorious to be i g nored in any biographi ca l not i ce making the smallest preten sion to auth en ti c it y. His social and intellectual qualities are those on which his friends and admirers will be most eager. t e ° and extended information, profound knowledge dwell. It was no t merely that he possessed varle" of the springs of human action, tact, fancy, versatility, an d all the numerous qualities, or shades of qu alities, which go to ma k e up t h at composite and indefinable thing called wit. He was the best -bred man we ever knew ; and good breeding of the highest order is not to be acquired by study, like an art. Its perfection consists in never giving pain, either from ignorance or desig ne dl y. I t therefore requires the most exqui site fineness of perception to discover what is pleasing or displ eas i ng to others, and the most imperturbable g o od nature t o t urn t h e di scovery to good account, so s alway s as to diffuse agreeable emotions and promo"' friendly feelings. It was d'Orsay's unceasing every aim, particularly at Gore House, to make influence over one , at home and at their ease ; and he r . sure to address his conversation, " di d rally and unaffectedly, to any shy and embarrass.ne member of the company, till he saw that any Pa ss g, to as hwkwardness or embarrassment was at an end. his own circle of intimates was un bounded, and it was fairly earned by the soundn ess iffi. and disinterestedness of his counsels when any Elided oleo, that brougt the conduct ofpersons of culty or mi sunderstanding caused him to be appealed mediator or adviser.

Tilting at the ring is not a very interesting performance, and tho first effect of seeing so many screws swerving under the weight of pon derous guardsmen could not be overcome, but " the jousts," or lance against lance, was better, the " Be. hordicum," or sword opposed to lance, a further im -1-.1 rovement, sword against sword better still, and the final combat of lances and swords mounted against the bayonet on foot was extremely good and amusing. These differenint the encouuteraafternoon took piece at two distinct interv als , hut for the sake of convenience we club them together. The ap parent superiority of the contrasted weapons no doubt turned mainly upon the dexterity with which they were handled, and in this respect there was every ground for sati s f ac tion; but it seems pretty clear that a determined foot soldier, armed w i t h a bayonet, and expert in its use is on a vir with any trooper, whether armed wilt. lance or sword. The retreading figh on horseback yester day for m ed aloe a curious lecture of the daT's proceed intga. To the com bats of the grand tournament me ceeded a dance round a maypole, 40 feet high, gaily or namented with garlands and str eamers. Mr. Flexmore had arranged this dance so as to represent tho weaving of a tartan with the variegated streemers, and the effect of the performance altogether, shared in by 32 people in appropritato costume, and seen under such a d et , uta _ geous cirournstancri, was extremely pleasing, Another point in yesterday's proceedings was the exhibn of the French cause and baton—a mild form of the old English quarterstaff practice. Toe quietness and ease, combined with great rapidity, with which the Staves were wielded indicated perfect training, and yet formed a curious contrast to that rough and boisterous sport, o f which, in Ivanhoe, Sir Walter Scott has left us so graphic a description. The cosine and Baton was followed by a new and extraordinary feat of strength exhib ited b y the brothers Siegrist and called Le percke. This display beats the caber tossing hollow, as will be at once understood when its details are' described. One of the performers ba lances on a socket attached to his waist in front a pole 40 feet high, up which, while in an almost perpendicular po sition the other nimbly climbs. Having reached the top ho executes summersaults upon it, twists himself about in every possible way, and, finally, glides down it head fore most. After such a display " throwing the hammer," which was 171 b. weight, came off with less éclat than u.ual, though tie victor, D. Kennedy, sent it spinning through the air to a distance of 107 feet.

On W ednesday a public dinner took place in 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. Wiodeatt presided, and Mr. J. R. Fogwill acted as vice-president. Mr. T. Mills, M.P., was present, hut 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.l',, and Mr. Lindsay, the recent candidate for Dartmouth, were also invited, but were unable to be present. The usual loyal toasts were drank, 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. Re 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 had during that time. Mr. Mills promised that he would pay the eleotors an 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, at 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 allowing 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, hid been turned oat of their farms, and told to go and tell the reason why in the mat ket places. Mr. Tucker, of Ashburton, Mr. Chalker, 'of Dart mouth, Laid ether gentlemen spo k e, and the evening win , passed in the most pleacant sand I.:grceut.)le manner.

It is related in the touching narretive of the Jewish capti vity that those among the people who remembered the glory of the first , wept when they sew the inferio ritytem of the second, but in this instance there is no reacon to sear that the most devoted admirer of the Crystal Pe lace of 1851 will have cnuse to . 'Sigh over the dighrence between it Bed the Cry stal Palace of 1853. Loftier in design, more varied in outline, with infinitely more of t rehttectunal beauty and pretension, it will form a land mark to which every e will instinctively turn in one of the fairest distiicts in England, an d, no longer fenced in by the streets and - squar es f a mighty city, it will occupy 03 prominent and conspicuous a pm idols in therprospect as it is destined to do i n t h e hi stor y of London, L ei 'nil( stand forth prom the h or i zon o f t h e : ' mighty city an object 'for ever recalling-, am i d t h e hem and bustle of every day life, the existence of talthu higher than those of the multiplication or the interest; table, and of tastes and 'enjoyments which do not require ' welly 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 all time. It is not a toy to be used for a t i ng l e 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 bersar of new and ever varying at tractions, tin exhibition of all that is curious in art and beautiful in nature, the natural receptacle of every COW invention, the natural laboratory for the construc tive intellect of the country—such a building under take's to dittcharge functions, of which the brief and glo rious vision of the former exhibition may enable as to conception some guess, b ut surely not a complete or a d equ at e nu n d ce t p n ti t e hnk n i I t t h that t here, Pieas for to h v u i n e d w r e an ds of o years old ca t h same worship ha s been offered dthe roof; but , e d rt the l, e • un er same the destinies of ' this edifice are, in one respect, even more striking, for it is destined to e obhld an to con tain the results of the gradual • improvement of science, and to be the first witness of every victory which man wins fr om t h e h i dden and reluctant laws of nature. How puny and infantine are the triumphs we have pared with those that lie before us, and on what spot of earth can , d than to be the appointed treasur which e-hou se o f the spoils the human intellect shall bear its victories i n th e f i eld of knowledge? off as t rop hi es of does the new C rystal Palace diff er But not onl y the old one, the p r i nc i ple of its permanence from rectly opposite, and, as we think, o fordation is of a di character. The old C rystal Palace was an offe r i ng b y the rich and the enlightened, attaining of a most brilliant n a t ure , but founded financial result ' s views than those of profit .' with other experiment on the taste an d feeling of the was a great na tion, the credit of which belonged subscribers and projectors. The second Crystal Palac e is a purely commercial speculation, and, i n our opinion on that account, so much the better. It is with some ire.: patience that we hear feeble and abortive attempts to divest it of this its real and undoubted character, and to persuade the public that it is to be carried on With 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 hand, that there is sufficient evidence of a refined and elegant taste among the working-classes, of a love of beauty and e 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, cot 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 supeese that commorciai associations can only be employed in grati fying low and material wants. This will undeubtedly be the case so long as the people have no higher or nobler craving to gratify, but in proportion as they be eome elevated .by education and enlightenment, the one 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 ha.vo.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 en 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 was the pompous enumeration of the great men 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 leas 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 z eel of men who will not remember that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath, has passed away. To shut up the building and park on Sunday afternoon would be to the working classes of London an entire exclusion from the benefit intended; and must almost, of necessity, be fatal to the scheme itself. The experiment is ydt to be tried whether, by offering the working man innocent and wholesome enjoyment, be ma y not be induced to 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 th e p oor with any entertainment equally innocent and equ a lly a ttractive? If the poor man is to be called upon, in the name of religion, to sacrifice the afternoon of his weekly holiday, l et es ba quite sure that it is not in th e i nteres t Of the tea-garden or the n public-house that conc e ss ion is demanded. Idr but think that the contemplation of a gloriouslandscape and of nil the Wonders ot creation which industry and research can collect under a single roof, would be irdu. ences More elevating and chastening than afternoon of which are likely to preside over the. Sunday any others the weary artisan. NAVAL. 1N TELLIGENCE.

(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 diarrheas, 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 most 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, 1. 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. Duriug the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-pox; 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, adults) of di sease of the _heart; 17, of bronchitis; 32 of pneumonia; 13 of enteritis;, 14 of disease of the liver; and 25 of violence. Diarrhoea was the reigning disease; it wits fatal to 110 children, 7 adults, and 8 persons of advanced age. It often approached ire the severity of its symptoms to suTmhmeefrolclhoowlienrga,aoret t w he h_ r ic e h tu l r O ns c o hlldren, 4 adults, and: persons ever the age of 60 died.
