A i n ) desperate affray took place on Saturday more • gen board of the Queen of the West, Captain 4•w an emigrant vessel bound for New York, and ' gin the Mersey, ready for sea. The particulars, as far • " as we ha v e b een .. to obtain them, are as ollo ws ; The Queen of the West cleared out of the Welling ' ' -11 Dock ab o ut eleven o'clock, and lay on the C h e - Shire side of the water, between Egremont and Sea ?°tnbe. About ten o'clock the captain went on board lg a steam-tug, and commenced mustering the c rew . a "le disagreement took place between the captain d a few of the men with regard to the proper coma element for the ship, Freemen, one of th e cr e w , in ,' '"tieg that the vessel ought to have thirty seamen, the captain had only given directions for twenty -111:1 being enroll e d. Fr ee man and the captain came to high words, and the latter taking hold of him by the went, told him to be quiet and do his duty. The ;asman, irritated, struck Captain Mors, who was knocked down and severely handled by the crew, who kettled themselves with belaying pins and marling *Pikes. The mate, Mr. Risk, came to the rescue, and . at - l eked the crew with a cutlass. The captain seized a ‘ s4 ', o ll,iing pistol and aimed at the head of one of the men, but the trigger snapped.. He then armed himself with gutless, and; aided by the mate, made an onslaught the crew, who were driven below after a tough g eeunter, in which many of them were sadly gashed t id. mutilated. One map, Downs, was flogged and PE in irons ; another had his hand nearly cut off; : 40 4 of. them were Clashed about the head and face `g-a dreadful way, and one had his shoulder deeply r ` lt • lr I n e t igence of the affray having beep commu . ~..`9.ated to the police, a posse of officers, under the • 7 1 4thand of Superintendent Ride, was sent on board, n i the insurgent portion of the crew, twelye in num el', were brought ashore handcuffed, accompanied by . o:rain - Mors and the mate. One of the sailors was a en badly hurt, that he was removed a once to hospital. The others were taken to the central ttioe station, where Captain Mors formally charged nr with mutiny, and gave an account of what had 1 7" i place to Mr. Superintendent Clough. The 3 - at iles'Of the men were Thomas Brown (Norwegian), i i Tes 'Black, James Fowler, George Freeman, Illitun Perry Easton, Alexander Jack, John Dro nes John Morton, and James Francis. The 2Pteln, in his formal statement, pointed out Freeman ther sailor who had said that twenty-six men were e gt enough, and that the ship required thirty., The :Mein told him that twenty- six would be quite suffi cient, together with the carpenter's mate, and come "es whom he named. Freeman, in a sulky mood went f orward, began to curse the captain, and said that he Wanted his breakfast. The captain went up to him and taking hold of his breast, told him to do his 'nay. Freeman then, aided by two other seamen, ~„.,"° 4e d the captain down. The mate, seeing his inetition, went for a cutlass, and the captain procured ` lt revelving pistol. The men crowded round , and the pistol having missed fire, the captain was again over red, thrown down, stamped upon, and beaten With theii belaying pins. Recovering himself some rh,t,he took the cutlass from the mate , who ob _lated another, and then, both attacking the men, the liittee were driven into the hold. T h e r in g le aders W ere afterwards placed in irons. In answer to a question from Mr. Clough, the c aptain further said that none of the crew were dead. Robe r t K erry , one o f the passengers, then gave a version of the affair quite in agreement with the state "gent of the captain, who said he was knocked down three or four times by the crew, armed as they were With belaYin • g pins and marling spikes.

By her we have intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope to the 9tb January, and from King William's Town to the 4th of the same month, being 10 or 12 days later than that by the Hellespont, the last homeward mail. By this arrival we are glad to learn that a strong impression prevailed that affairs were much in favour of a more speedy end of the war than was, some time since, anti cipated. The increased energy in the movement of the Government troops, the result of the arrival of rein forcements from home, appeared to have infused greater confidence among all classes; in fact, the best possible feeling is said to prevail. It was generally rumoured that Sandilla was about to retire from the hostile posi tion he has hitherto held. The dispatches and mail, said to be large and im portant, were landed from the Windsor on Friday, but have not yet been delivered here. The dispatches from the seat of war are to the 2d and 4th January, and may be said to be comprised in the following general order:— "King William's Town, Jan. 2, 1852. " Dispatches have been this evening received by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief ft om Major-Gene ral Somerset and Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre. Upwards of 6,000 head of cattle had been captured by Major- General Somerset up to the 23d ult., and 7,000 were in possession of Colonel Eyre up to the 21st ult., exclusive of vast numbers, estimated at 700, drowned at the con• fluence of the Lomo and the Kei. Major-General So merset and Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre were in direct communication on the 23d ult., and were about to de scend the Lower Bashee, to which large herds of cattle had been driven; while Faker, it was expected, would make a forward movement. The Fingoes had rallied round the British troops. " The continued rain had been much against the troops, weo were, however, in high spirits and health. By his Excellency's command. "Joliet GARYOCK, Lieutenant-Colonel, Principal Secretary." Jan. 4.—The mournful intelligence has reached town this morning of the death of Major-General Wilmot. Royal Artillery, commander of Fort redder. This able and gallant officer was shot on new years day whit leading on his men in en attack upon the enemy in the jungle of the Fish River, where it is said Sandilla has now taken shelter. The lamented deceased was amongst the bravest and most active officers in the field. On every occasion where hard and gallant service was de manded he distinguished himself. He fell as a soldier, and his name wilt s t an d conspicuous among th e defen ders of the country, and be embalme d in the memory of its inhabitants. The Friend of the Sovereignty of the 22d of December says that the Basuto tribes are restless and unsettled, through attacks made on them by reputed allies of the Government, the Plattberg Bastards and Barolongs. Previous to these attacks the people of Moshesh were disposed to abstain from violence. Since then the farmers along the boundaries have suffered from the Basutos, who on the 14th of December attacked three waggons belonging to some trek-boers, and captured a number of cattle and horses. Two companies of the 45th, under Captain Parish, and a detachment of artil lery under Lieutenant Singer, have been stationed for the protection of the chief Maroco and the Barolong tribe; and Lieutenant Bourke and 25 of the Cape Corps have marched to Winburg to enable the district farmers to return to their homes. The Natal Witness of the 18th of December removes all doubts as to the reported loss of Mr. Thompson, who was at the head of the Zeoloo contingent in the Sove reignty. He has returned with his forces, partly be cause they were not imperatively required, and partly because they had been afflicted with dysentery. The South African of the 3d of January, says that her Majesty's steamer, Vulcan, was to leave Table Bay on that day for England. Captain Monkland, 74th Highlanders, Dr. Dick, and Lieutenant Palmer, of the 13th Regiment, and Quartermaster Cassidy, take pas sage in her. The Rhadamanthus sailed on the 2d of January from Table Bay for Simon's Bay, where she would join Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, and the Seringapatam hulk. The Styx, 6, arrived at Port Blies beth on the 29th of December, with a mail and 20,000/. specie. In Table Bay were the merchant ships Collingwood, for Bombay; Pholaix, for 'Ateoa Bey; Windsor, and Lady Montagu, and John Bull, for London; and Acasta, for Ceylon; the brigs Josephine, for Lcindon; Work ingtoe, for East London; and Essex, Anne, Curlew, Wanderer, Sarah Bell, and Jane. The barque Reginald Heber, from Calcutta, fqr Liverpool, was under repair. On the 3d of January arrived the barque Athenian, 80 days from England, lull of passengers. Sailed on the 31st of December, the Caldew, for London; and the Isabella Wood, for the Mauritius; 2d of January, Ro dolphe, for Bourbon; Hyderabad, for Trinidad; and Thorwalsden, for Batavia.

FIRE AT THE WELLINGTON BARRACKS. A fire broke out in the Wellington Barracks last night, but the damage done was very trifling. 1852. LONDON, THE ,vjeTROPOLITAN BRIDGES. The state of the bridges over the teem : , nee at tracted a good deal of attention, and not a few have pronounced even London-bridge in danger. We are not co mpetent to judge of the gravity of the defects in the latter, to which our attention has been called; but two bridges ' at least, are at this mom en t i n a con di t i on to demand a costly expsnditure either to repair or to re new. Westminster-bridge is condemned, and a new structure must be. raised to supply its place. The funds for effecting this will be drawn from the whole of the taxpayers of the country. Blackfriars-bridge be longs to the corporation of the city of London, and the moneys to be expended upon this bridge will be derived from more circumscribed sources. The bridge at West minster has long been under the consideration of Go vernment; the site has been determined on, and the Commissioners have given notice of, their intention to apply to Parliament for a 8111 to reconstruct this bridge. No design has yet been adopted, but various plans have been proposed, among the number one 40unded on th e system so successfully carried out by Mr. Hughes in the preparation of the' foundations for the new bridge at Rochester. We lately had an opportunity of inspecting these works, and, as the mode of constructing these foundations appears not only admirably contrived, but particularly appli cable to the repair or renewal of bridges in the metro polis, we propose to give a short description of the work. The bridge is to be carried over the Medway with three arches—a central one of 170 feet, and an arch on either side of 140 feet span. The abutments and the piers (above low water-mark) will be built of stone and brick in the usual way, and the arches will be of cast iron. The roadway is designed to be 40 feet wide, and an opening bridge of 50 feet in width is to be made on the Strood side for the navigation of the Med way. During the season of the Great Exhibition the works in progress were visited by several of the first engineers of the Continent, and last Thursday the con tractors, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, entertained a large party of eminent men, invited to witness the sink hag of the last pile upon the plan devised to meet the unexpected exigencies of the occasion. The Strood-pier is completed up to a little above low water level, and can only he seen at the time of the tide. The foundation consists of massive cast iron be d plates, covered with concrete, resting upon a series of east iron cylinder piles, sunk through the bed of the river into the chalk, 46 feet below the concreted surface. These piles stand about five feet above. the bottom of the river, and are enclosed by a curtain of cast iron plates, serving to direct the flow of the current and to protect the piles from injury between ordinary and extreme low water level. This pier, as well as the other on the Rochester side, measures over the surface of the bed plates 70 feet 'between the points of the cutwaters, and 18 feet in width. The iron cylinder piles which sup port the bed plates are arranged in two rows of six in each and one pile at either end, carrying the points of the cutwater; they are 7 feet in diameter and are formed of cylindrical castings 9 feet long, bolted together in succession as the pile enters the ground. The stones, gravel, chalk, &c., are excavated and entirely removed from the interior of the. piles, and a concrete of gravel and Portland cement is substituted when the pile has reached a stratum sufficiently hard to support the weight of the bridge. To sink these piles 40 feet into the bed of the river, and to effect the excavation where, st low water of ordi intro tides, there is 5 f l eet, and a rise of upwards of 20 feet' at high tide, was, tinder the cireatestances whi c h presented themselves here, a problem of no common character. In suitable soils (and this was at first thought to be one of them) the vacuum method, which was patented by the late Dr. Potts, would assist in solv ing the question, if it did not succeed for the whole of the great depth of these foundations. An alternative presented itself of clearing the piles from water, by means of powerful pumps, driven by steam-engines of from 12 to 20-horse power, and working out the excava tion when the bottom was laid dry. Such was the me thod followed on a magnificent scale by Mr. Brunel with the greater part of the cylinder piles forming the sup ports for the remarkable bridge intended to carry the South Wales Railway across the Wye, at Chepstow; and ~ uch suggested itself as the resource to be called into action, after a few trials had proved Potts's method to he quite unavailable at Rochester. A careful examination of the ground forming the site of the Strood pier, during a very extraordinary low tide, which occurred shortly after the attempts with the vacuum method had failed, and when measures were in progress for introducing water-pumps, brought out the fact, not previously known, that the bottom of the river there consisted of large rubble atones, intermixed with old but solid timber for a considerable depth, not less than six feet, as was then estimated, but which has proved,to average 20 feet; and it became evident that any effort of pumping would cause a very large profitless outlay of money, and would result very much as would an attempt to make the surface of a sieve dry by with drawing the water above it in the same way. The principle of the diving-bell had been previously spoken of by many, in general and indefinite terms, as being probably useful in connexion with the system of iron cylinder piles; and it was now seriously discussed by the engineer and the contractors in all its forms, from the employment of divers in the helmet and caoutchouc dress to the use of the ordinary diving-bell, suspended inside the cylinder pile. It was sufficiently obvious that the cylinder pile itself might have the character of a diving-bell given to it by securely closing the top, and by forcing air into it until this had acquired a density sufficient to force out the column of water; but how to get the workmen into and out of a large iron vessel so closed up, how to carry off the stones, earth, &c., which had to be removed from its interior, and how to in troduce the concrete and and brickwork for tilling it up, although equally obvious as conditions that must be satisfied (and satisfied, too, in a well-ordered system to be carried into operation as any process usual in a pro perly regulated manufactory) were difficulties at first very imperfectly resolved. Mr. John Hughes, as the engineer upon whom it de volved to devise and arrange the preliminary works and mechanical means for carrying out the contract which Fox, Henderson, and Co. had entered into, offered some suggestions to Sir W. Cubitt and to Sir C. For, which were favourably received, and they assigned to him the task of making the draw ings and scheme 'complete, of constructing all the necessary apparatus, and of carrying it into operation. This. duty he performed, and has described his contriv ances in a paper read at the Institution of Civil Engineers last year. A technical account of the apparatus, which all who have seen it pronounce to be most ingenious, well-considered, and effective, would be unsuited to our columns, and is already recorded in the proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers; but we may quote the address of Professor Airy, when President of the British Association, at Ipswich, in July last, as conveying a popular idea' of it. The Astronomer Royal said— " Considerable importance, however, is attached by en gineers to some of the processes lately ietroduced, espe cially that of thrusting down an air-tight tube or elon gated diving-bell, supplied with air at the proper pres sure, by. whicn men are enabled to perform any kind of work under water, in almost any circumstances, and in which men or materials may be transferred without disturbance of the apparatus, by a contrivance bearing the same relation to air which a common canal-lock does to water." Teat the working of this useful contrivance has been eminently successful may be judged from the fact that the 14 piles in the Strood-pier of Rochester-bridge have been excavated 40 feet into the • bottom of the Medway, and this was done without regard to the period of the tide, or of the day. The pressure of air in the pile averaged about 18 pounds per square inch, the maximum being nearly 26 pounds, or equivalent to a depth of 60 feet of water. In the Rochester-pier 13 of the piles have been completed to a depth of 22 feet in the bottom of the river, and the maximum pressure during the execution was about lb pounds to the inch. At Chepstow two of the cylinder piles were sunk 48 feet below the bed of the river by MreHughes's arrangement, under the direction of Mr. Brunel, the maximum pressure being 28 pounds to the inch. After satisfying ourselves of the solid character of the completed platform for the Strood-pier, we crossed over to witness the sinking of the 14th pile for the Rochester pier by means of the apparatus just noticed. This pile, standing on the bottom of the river, contained water to the same level inside as on the outside, which was 7 or 8 feet deep at the commencement of a flood tide. The air pump, driven by a neat six -horse power portable steam engine. being set to work, the pile was tree from water in five minutes, the workmen then passed through the cages or air-locks and descended to the bottom of the river and proceeded with the excavation. Bucket after bucket was sent up through these air-locks until suffi cient material had been cleared away to admit of the cylinder's further descent. The men were then recalled, the air let off, and, as the water rose, the cylinder, by its own weight, sank to a new footing. The process is thus repeated until the men have been enabled to carry the foundations to the necessary depth.

The external appearance of the bridge might be fashioned by the highest architectural art; its stability and severer conditions might be in trusted to experienced and responsible men. A straight line of road might be carried from the Westminster to the Lambeth tide; and, if it were thought desirable to give to Bridge-street and to Lambeth-road a width equal to that of the new bridge, it could be done at any con venient time by funds properly raised for local purposes, without taking more moves' out of the national purse' than it ought to supply for building the bridge itself. Such conditions as we have here sketched have in fact been embodied in the design which we have seen, and which has been submitted to the Commissioners now about to introduce a Bill into Parliament for reconstruct ing Westminster-bridge.— Times. [Although the suggestion cf our Contemporary is in unions to some extent, we must nevertheless maintain, as we have always done, the folly of preserving such immediate proximity to a site which has already sunk (literally sunk) so much of the public moneys. Let the new bridge be constructed upon a plan altogether dif ferent, and in the situation which we have already our selves more than once indicated: and then London, or rather Westminster, would be relieved from the eye sore presented by the present ricketty structure, while the proposed bridge, spanning the river at a spot suffi ciently continguous, might be more in accordance with the position and architecture of the newly-erected Houses of Parliament. ---En. Sun.] TO THE SEC !,Ti r breUR. - t LANE THEATAC... Bslie's IA op, :a The Sicilian L'r,cle, t4e anneal:es =en: of which raised much expectation in the musical world, was produced on Saturday night. The appearance, after so long an interval, of a great work by the first English dramatic composer of the day, is, indeed, en occurrence of singular interest. A house, consequently densely crowded in every part, attested the importance justly attached to the production of this opera; and the acclamations with which Mr. Balfo was greeted on taking his place in the orchestra showed the sense en tertained by the public of his character and reputation. They were renewed with equal vehemence between the acts, and again when the curtain ,finally descended. The opera itself commanded the plaudits that echoed throughout the house on the intrinsic grounds of a good story, characteristic music, satisfactory executancy, and beautiful decoration. e The scene is laid in Sicily, daring the domination of Charles of Anjou. The first act deals with the clan destine loves of Rodolpho and Bianca, the son and daughter of the rival houses of San.genaro and An dreizzi, which being discovered are likely to end in a collision of the two factions, th6ugh the domestic irri tation of the two houses is terminated by the sud den appeal of the elder Andte zzi, who coun sla the oblivion of their personal quarrels and the concentration of their power against the common enemy, under whose despotic rale they live. The bargain is sealed by the immediate union of the lovers, which takes place in a chapel in the vicinity. The project of throwing off the yoke of France is then discussed, and Bianca, under the dictation of her father, writes down upon a paper the names of the conspirators principally concerned in the pnli , ical movement, and their plans of action, the act closing with patrietie, though cautious, shouts on the part et the Sicilian nobles and their retainers, and the pious appea!s of all on be half of-the young couple.

The arrondissem en t, that " Prince N a po l eon wishes the electi ons to be free ; therefore electoral meetings tending to exercise a bad influence on people's minds are formallyrprohibited." . The English Prime Mi nister says he must have public opinion " clearly ex pressed," therefore one wan on his side shall tell for as much as ten on yours. Where is the difference, ex cept that one fraud is founded on new rubbisb, and the other on old ? quis of Montino, the French Governor of Sicily, lets us into the secret that he is enamoured of Bianca. Rather than, as he says, " brave the anguish which consumes his breast," he employs a necromancer, Sabanico, to provide him with a drug by means. of which he may compass and secure his victim. Taking advantage of a fLe which brings within his domains all the prin cipal Sicilian nobility, Bianca drinks the potion, and is enticed into a kiosk, where she fells asleep under the influence of the narcotic. The Marquis, who is watching her, is startled at seeing her rise in her sleep. Listening to the words which fall dreamingly from her lips he learns the dangers with which the French - are menaced, the poor girl, with continued unconsciousness, seating herself mechanically at a table, and writing down upon a scroll the words which she bad written the night before at the dictation of her father. This situation, which constitutes the finale of the act, is obviously re plete with fine dramatic effect; and this impression was wholly realised on Saturday night. Nothing could be more exciting; the interest of the moment receiving con siderable augmentation from the struggle:. of Sirena, an humble friend of Bianca, with the Marquis, who, yearn ing to hear all that the unfortunate somnambulist has to communicate, threatens to stab Sirena, who fore pees the peril likely to happen to the Sicilian cause, and strives madly to awaken the unconscious betrayer of the secret. The opening of the third act, in which Montluc stealthily invades the nuptial sanctuary of Bianca, who repulses him with fierce and violent rage, and is only protected by the arrival of her husband, is of little con sequence 23 regards the dramatic progress, but it affords a capital vocal point—a good test of the genius of the composer, as well as of the vigour and ability of the artists. In the succeeding scene, the conspirators who are assembled at the place of rendezvous, a cavern, the workshop of a rough and unkempt armourer named Pietro, are surprised, amid their glowing apostrophes to liberty and their oaths of mu tual fidelity, by the sudden appearance in the back-ground of the French soldiery, headed by Montluc, who holds the paper in his hand written by Bianca in her moment of somnambulism. Rodolphe, groaning with horror, recognises the writing of his wife, but receives upon his own head the furious taunts of the Sicilians, who brand him as a traitor and a perjurer; while Bianca, in an agony'of grief, fruitlessly endeavours to repress their indignation by wildly proclaiming his innocence. _ . The fourth act opens with an interview between the wretched couple. Bianca listens with terror and amaze ment to the infuriate words of Rudolph°, who charges her with the crime, the consequence of which, to save her life and honour, he has taken upon himself, though her passionate tenderness touches his heart and checks the transports of anger which goad and madden him. But the denouement is at hand. A masked stranger in forms them of the defeat of the French soldiery. It is Montluo who speaks. He comes to disburden his con science—to disclose the mystery which shrouds the scroll, and has entailed misery and suspicion upon the " Sicilian Bride;" and the opera, terminates with a scenic tableau depicting the departure of the French fleet from the now emancipated land. The several performers exerted themselves admirably and successfully. Mr. Sims Reeves came out splen didly, and Miss Crichton, Miss P. Horton, Miss Lance, and Mr. Whitworth did ample justice t. the parts re spectively allotted to them. The ballads introduced in the opera are just those sweet and telling songs that might be expected from Mr. Balta. The Sicilian Bride wid prove to be the greatest hit that has been made at old Drury for a long day, and we are glad that Mr. Bunn's exertions have at last been crowned by an une quivocal and signal triumph. It will be perceived from the subjoined notices, that we do not stand alone in the favourable opinion we entertain of this splendid opera. (From the Times.) The opera was -placed upon the stage in a liberal and efficient - style. The scenery was beautiful, the coetumee and appointments appropriate, the supernumeraries Abundant and well trained. In short, no eff ,rte were Tared to insure success; and not to speak of the fre quent applause and encores, if the final incidents of the performancee—an unanimous call for Mr. Balfe, who came forward and was enthusiastically cheered; a summons for the principal artists; and another for Mr. Bunn, who, after the applause had subsided, expressed his gratitude -to the audience in a short, and emphatic speech—if these incidents may be presumed to constitute success, the opera of the Sicilian Bride must be chronicled as per fectly successful, On examining the vacancies created by the late changes, the ten county Members came from a popu lation less than that of Lancashire, and sending in all 23 Members to the House of Commonsi while-Lanca shire sends 4 ; being in the proportion of 6 to 1.

The world will h e on the alert to see w h e th er this open hook of th e P rotectionists can be success f u lly baited in the sight o f t h e fishes that are expec t e d t o swallow it. The P r i me Minister is Isaac W a lt on , and the commercial i n t erest is the frog w hi c h he is. going to treat as if he loved it. The whole policy of the Minister is a ki n d of trout-fishing, and he pre pares his tackle t o g i ve and take, so that no b o d y s h a ll say he uses them crue ll y.

All this only gOes to prove, what it might have been supposed the world knew before, that men who submit to enormous absurdity, will be made enormously to pay for it. It is not the condition of human life, that men shall take care of themselves by halves. The moment a man emerges from the condition of a New-Hollander, and ceases to live on worms, he must be a politician and a statesman within the limits of his sphere of action, or else live on worms again that somebody else may eat turtle and venison. There is no help for it ; it is the ordinance of Providence. The world was not made for men to doze in ; or if they do, it is decreed that they shall find somebody else wide awake to work their woe. It is evidently the object of the present Ministry to go back as far as they are able. The leaders do what they can to disg u i se . but the underlings can not keep the secret. It will only be because they are stopped, if the Reform Bill, Catholic Emancipation, Test Act, do not all revert to their original condi tions. Their prayer is only for time and fair play ; that is to say, for being allowed to push their plan as far as they can. If the first wedge drives, the rest may go further than was thought of, It will be amusing to see, —and why should not amusement be picked out of things evil when we have done all we could to binder them,—what wry faces the different sets of sufferers will make, when one after another their noses are brought to the little grindstone, which might have been escaped by all with a ' more exercise of the prudential faculties. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD RE FORMER. Blackheath, Bth March, 1852. (From the Morning Post.) Mr. Balfe has been here even more than ordinarily successful in his ballads. " Sweet Spirit of my Thoughts," and " When we R ecal the Happy Scenes," sung by Mr. Reeves; " Like a Dream that Flceteth," and "Friendship and Love," by Miss Isaacs; "'Tie Mine to Weep," by Miss Crichton; and "The Sorrows of the Heart," by Mr. Whitworth, are compositions which will not only prove most acceptable to the general public, but which - also include many novel and ingenious points of orchestration and chromatic harmony, worthy the attention of the most cultivated musician. Amongst the best con certed pieces may be cited the duefs "In the Silence of Night," and " Here on my Knees," sung by Mr. Reeves and Miss Crichton; the trio " The Se cret now is Solved," sung by Mr. Whitworth, Mr. Reeves, and Miss Crichton; the air and chorus " Forge, forge," by Miss Horton, &c.; the unaccompanied chorus Gather, gather," the duet, " Reply as Briefly as you Can," by Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Drayton; the ar mourers' chorus " Strike, strike," and the last move ments of the finale to the third act. The performance was excellent. Mr. Reeves, who was in fine voice, sang and acted magnificently; Messrs. Whitworth and Dray ton were highly efficient in their respective parts; Miss Horton'e charming contralto and intelligent acting con tributed greatly to the general effect ; asetilliss Crichton displayed an amount of passionate energy which fairly took us by surprise. We were well pleased to discover in her this valuable quality, but it is our duty to caution htr against exaggeration—for excess of emotion, or over anxiety to give effect to her conceptions, completely marred her performance of Saturday evening on several occasions. The little pert of Serina was gracefully acted and sung by Miss Isaacs; and the band and chorus did their duty, on the whole, very creditably. Tae opera was completely successful, and at its conclusion the principal singers, with Mr. Belle and Mr. Bunn, were called be fore the curtaip to receive the "customary ovations." (From the Morning Rerale.) We are not inclined, after a single hearing, to speak dogmatically• respecting the merits of a' work of such magnitude; but we received very great pleasure from many parts of it, and our general impression of the whole is exceedingly favourable. Of all Balfe's works it is decidedly the most elaborate. The long and complicated scenes of concerted music are con structed with much artistic skill ; the choruses are rich iu harmony and full of vigour; and the instrumentation is highly finished, sad often very charming and striking in its effects. It is, in short, a most careful and (what a French critic would call) "conscientious " work. A considerable change too, seems to have taken place in Balfe's style--a change which has been remarked in several composers of the Italian school. His music has assumed s German char acter ; instead of reminding us, as formerly, of Rossini and Donizetti, he now reminds us of Weber and Meyer beer. Not that he is by any means a plagiary from either; but there are features in his music which makes it resemble theirs—particularly his greater use than for merlynd of chromatic intervals, sudden m o dulations, and irregular rhythms. The Sicilian Bride differs as much in style from the Siege of .Rochelle, as Guillaume Te ll differs from Tancredi. Wh e ther or not this to sachange is for the better, we do not as yet feel p re ? red y. The later style is certainly less popularly a tamotive—itis less melodious in the vulgar sense of t he word—it has less of those smooth, flowing, familiar tunes, . which are at once seized by the uneducated ear ; but it will probably be found that it has gained in exchange more substantial and durable qualities, like some of those great German works which are gradually making their way to general popularity. The perfortn ance, though liable to the defects of a first night, was ex cellent on the whole. M r. Sims Reeves 'acted th e ch it _ ractor of Rodolfo with great energy and p ass i on, and sang magnificently. Miss Crichton, in the pact of the heroine, bad immense difficulties to encounter. The music is full of bra vura passagesin the highe s t, regio ns of the soprano sc ale, taxing heavily the powers of the strongest voice; and it wf3is t. not surprising that the young singer latterly showed. stified‘rathe signs of tatigue. But her performance fully hits a true :end g guined. She acted with intelligence, era d P ig u L a it t y i° , ll a s n ia d e and her singing was that of feel ing; • artist.

It is a pity this theatre cannot be enlarged, as it i s becoming "the rage" to such an extent that there is not accommodation for all who desire to enjoy the adriai rable dramatic treat nightly presented by the sove'reign tact . and judgment of Mr. Charles Kean. A new farce, by Mr. Taylor, was stamped with unequivocal success on Saturday night. It bears the name of Our Clerks ; or, No. 3, Fiytsee-court, Temple. The clerks are played by Mr. and Mrs. Ks-dey, and their masters, two barris ters living it, cl . ..lmbers at No. 3, Figtree-court,, by Mr. Wigan and Mr. Everett. Toe fan of the piece turns pn the vagtries of the two clerks, who resolve to " make merry" during the absence of their matters. With this view they regale themselves with wine and cigars, and invite to the chambers two young nursery-maid , , whom they espy in the Temple-gattlens. In the midst of their enjisyment one of the "governors" re turns home with a lady whom he has just espoused, and a - variety cf amusing situations occur. The plot, which is fiill of drclicries and incongruitie: , ., is brGaght to a uonclusion by a complete revulsion in the domestic ar rangements of the establishment, one of the professional gentlemen being made a fool of by the oter, and both being compelled to feel the indiscretion they have com mitted in leaving their property at the mercy of Oar Clerks. The acting of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley was admi rable, each bringing out the character of the two boys with great force and precision. The effect was height. ened by.the contrast, which was managed with great skill and ability. Mr. Wigan was spirited and lively. Miss Robertson, as Emily Harden, was lady-like and in teresting; Mr. Addison, in Bulpit, a good country gen tleman. The piece was received with great applause, and there is no doubt that it will have a great run. Great credit is duo to the manager and the company for the way in which the piece was got up. There was no un fortunate hitch, no awkwardness BO often attendant on a first representation. SPORTING NOTES. No. CLXXXIIL ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING THE COVENTRY MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We are but the creatures of circumstance, and circumstances have occurred since the publication of my last note which compel me to alter my opinion very con siderably with respect to one horse, and slightly in re gard to several others, for the Craven Steeplechase at Coventry. Victress, whose chance I disposed of very cavalierly on Friday last, upon a large outlay, and some of it from the stable too, where they assert that the race is a foregone conclusion for them, made by se veral of the cleverest men upon the turf, has induced me to consider her chance about as good as - any in the race. Miss Mowbray, who figures on the majority of the lists at a very short price, will not start; it also is very dubious whether either of Osborne's go to the post. Maria Day is completely knocked up. Half-and-Half is amiss; and Sir Peter Laurie, Vain hope, and Hardwick are scratched. Bourton is reported to be struck out, which may turn out to be a report only. I have received no definite information on this head, as far as I can ascertain the fields will be as follows: . Coventry Handicap—Merry Peal, Warwick, Ribaldry, The Clown, Avia, Proudfoot, Brother to Shylock, and The Queen of Spain. The Craven Steeplechase—British Yeoman (d), Abd el-Kader (d), Peter, Warner, Little Queen (d), Farnham, O!car, Carrig, La Gazza Ledra, St. Helier, Victress, Maurice Daley, Jack-of all-Trades, and Seaman. The Hurdle Race—Bedford, The Drag, The General, Fazeley, Maria Monk, Kate Kearney, and perhaps one or two more. My opinion with respect to the Coventry Handicap is unaltered. BROTHER TO SHYLOCS, Merry Peal, and 4via being my first, second, andthird. I must throw over 1141 f-an-Half for the Hurdle R4ce, and stick to p THE GENERAL, M ar i a M onk, an d Bedford tor the first three places. F or the Stee iechase I anticipate seeing the leading b atc h at the finish composed of Oscar, La 6-PIZZA Ladra, Maurice Daley, Farnham, and Victress; and the placed trio in VICTRESS, OSCAR, and MAURICE DALEY. 'filo betting this morning is of a brisk nature, the principal events at Coventry and Doncaster having been touched on rather stiffly.
