The very respectable gentlemen whose names had been used as directors of the alleged company, turned out not t 2 have been connected with the prisoners at the bar. 4 9 had therefore to withdraw from any prosecution of the alleged directors. After some further evidence had been gone into the depositions were read over in presence of the witnesses, and some cross-ex ,, mination ensued, but the evidence in chief was not nactcd. Sir R. CARDEN asked the prisoners if :hey wished to gitt3' anything? Both prisoners said they would reserve their defence.

A better " first night" ensemble there has probably never been, and each ecene made manifest the careful training end hearty good will of the various performers. Nor was this kindly feelieg confined to one side of the lamps, for the audience generally testified wilt censiderable 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 clevetly written, especially for the instruments, is deficient in decision style. There it a patchiness throughout which frustrates our attempt to trace the author's in spiraticns to any one model. We remarked frequent reminiscences of Meyerbeer, of Donizetti, Fiotow, Clapisson, Auber, &c., &c., mixed up edoly enough with little tormenting snatches of fugal counterpart. Much of the concerted music, moreover, is badly • voiced, and the orchestration occasionally confused, and overwhelming for the singers. Notwithstanding these defects, however, there is still a great deal of merit in his Royal Highness's work. It contains meny agreeable phrases, ingenious harmonics, and :. frequently evidences a strong feeling for dratnatic tff-ct. We have heard worse operas by professional writers, even of celebrity ; and amongst the theatrical compositions of amateurs, we assuredly know of nothing better. The " book" of Casilda is not bril liant, but it gets pleasantly enough, and affords ample scope for scenic effect. The scene is laid in the pic turesque land of Spain ; and we have interesting °lel Mootish buildings, pretty costumes, characteristic deuces, a sunny sky, luxuriant vegetation, and band of gipsies, who play an important i part iri the action. The plot runs time :—Alfonso, a young noltlemen (Signor Ca!zolari), 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 hand of gipsies, of whom Ca silda (:mdse. Chartou)„, a beautiful young creature, gifted with extraordinary vocal and poetical powers, is the queen. Fascinated by her genius and loveli• ness, he cffers 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 give 3 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 her honour that he engaged in the supposed fatal duel. Gomez flow works 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•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 e short, te d and the a piece is so j u di c i ous l y con structed, eanyof the " s it uat i ons " so interest ingnatrm and effective, that we can remain to the end witha out ennui. Mdme. Charton, as the heroine, never ap peared either as actre. sor singer to greater advantage The fair artist was warmly appleuded in all her. efforts; - but it was in the second act, where Casilda, smarting under the prigs of newly-awakened je.a 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 litle 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, a n d corps de ballet, were even snore 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 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. Bette conducted with his 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 Magic," in which the accomplished Caroline 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 style, to the enthusiastic de light of a fashionable and crowded house. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge honoured the performance with his presence. The Queen's box was occupied by his Serene Highness Prince Charles of Hobanlobe Langenbourg, who was accompanied by the Baroness de Speth and party. His Royal Highness the Duke of Parma occupied a box on the grand tier. His Serene Highness Duke Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, and their Serene High nesses the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, also honoured the performances with their presence.

REFORM DINNER AT TOTNES. On Vt , ednesday a public dinner took place in the As sembly Reoms 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. Ile 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 electors 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 gr oss cases of coercion that aro 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 tollowed 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 ma!ket places. _ Mr. tucker, of Abhburto n , Mr. Chalker, of Dart mouth, and other gentlemen spate, and the evening wets pasaed in the most pleasant and agreeable manner. ---- SOLICITATION OF CHRISTMAS MEN.—The following notice, addressed ß tr Es 211-earrriers,post sub-postmasters, clerks, let ter- receiver.T, let r t w e i r ce of the Post messengers, ,strnasters, messengers, and others, employed in the t E r e .

Unlike its predecessor, lief at Deptford took place last week, a detect:it:tient of the creation of a few months, and the wonder of a few the Rot al Artillery had to do duty at Woolwich Dock-- more, the mission of the new Crystal Palace purports to yard. be not of an age, bat for all time. It is not a toy to b e used for a single summer and then thrown aside, but a permanent addition to the mesas of amusement and id struction possessed by England and the world. A fair constantly open, a'bazsar of new and ever varying ma 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 ads quate conception. It is pleasing to view an old cathedral, and to think that there, for hundreds of years, the same worship h as 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 science, and to be the first witness of every victory which man wins from the hidden and reluctant laws of nature. How puny and infantine are the triumphs we have, already obtained compared with those that lie before us, and on wh a t s p o t o f earth can; descend a nobler destiny than to be the appointed treasure-house of th e spoils which the human intellect shall betrophies f bear off as c its victories in the field of d. knowledge? But not only does the new Crystal Palace of differ in permanence from the old one, the principle opposite, and, aswe foundation is of a di rectlycharacter. Tee old CrystalP think, of a very superior the rich and the enlightened,Palace was an offering by of a most brilliant natu attaining financial results views than those a re, but a founded with other experiment on the taste profit. feeling was a great na tion, the credit of whi ch ber g of the subscribers and projectors. The secondonged to the Crystal Palace is a purely commercial speculation, and, on that account, so much the better. Itis i w n it o h ur s opinion, patience that we hear feeble and abortive attempts to it of this its real and undoubted character, Ind s to o 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 a search for knowledge to justify a commercial assooiation 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 built 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 be the case so long as the people have no higher or nobler craving to gratify, but 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 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 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 to 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 zeal 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 wculd 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 yet to be tried whether, by offering the working man innocent and wholesome enjoyment, he may 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 'de the poor wi th an y entertainment e q uall y Sunday prove attractive? If the poor man is to innocent and equally attractive? ot e .. rengion, to sacrifice the be called upon, in the name et us be quite sure afternoon of his weekly holiday, l that it is not in the i nterest of the tea-garden 'or the public-house that concession is demanded. We cannot t on of a glorious landscape but think that the centempla ti on industry creation which and and of all the wonders of would be ieflu research can collect under a single roof, than any others ences more elevating and chastening_ over the Sunday afternoon o f which are likely to preside the weary artisan.

The health of London in the week ending Saturday, 31st July, has been disturbed by the prevalence of summer cholera and diarrhea, yet the deaths have been 1,040, or 118 below the weekly average, which irk 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, 9 2 in work houses, 39 in hospitals, 6 in lunatic asylums, 1 in plieon, 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-pox; 2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccina tion. Fifteen children were left unprotected by their parents,and din the victim s o f this negl i gence; 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 cf violence. Diarrhoea 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.
