We never dispu•ed the canstitutional doctrine, that, as the Prime Minister of this country ought to possess the confidence of the majority of the House of Commons, and a. Lord Derby, by his own admission; ..4.1_ 11 4.ekaPP9 4-0 V 14141 t9 .41 and th ereiary lairlitate tnr :the Co s; does not , possess that confidence, he is placed in , an abnormal and- 111111 exceptional position, which ought not to be continued one moment longer than the necessities of the publio service absolutely demand. We have hitherto been un der the impression that Lord Derby himself held the same opinion, and that he was as willing as his autago• fists to pot an end to an interregnum neither gratifying to his pride nor calculated to contribute to the lustre of his reputation. We thought that he would not endure a moment longer than duty compelled him the presence . of a Parliament of which he was the nominal leader, but not the actual master. We thought that, whatever might be the impatience with which the men, of Man cheater burn to enter the lists, our fiery Premier would be as eager for the confict as they. It seems, however, that we were mistaken. To hold the responsibility of office without its powers, to be Prime Minister under a hostile Opposition, to be confined to " humble end useful" duties, to resign the adv, cacy in words and the per tormance in deeds t f those thin g s which for six years he has solemnly declared to be indispensable,—these things, so grievous to ordinary mortals, could not, we thought, he light and easy of endurance to the proud heir of the house of Stanley. On the 19th of last month, in answer to a question by the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Derby spoke as fel lows;—" I will go a step fatal:or, and say that I think the next autumn ought not to be allowed to pass over, not only without the country having had the opportunity of coming to a decision, but without Parliament having had the opportunity of pronouncing definitively aid finally its opinion and its judgment can the course of policy that mught to be adopted on the part of the Go vernment. I will give no pl• dge as to time, whether in ' April, in May, or in June, that an appeal shall be made to the country, but I admit that an appeal ought to be made to the country before the ordinary time of commencing the next session of Parliament, and that the great question in issue should be decided and adjue oicated upon by Parliament at an earlier period, so that the ordinary and curreot business of the next session should not be interfered with by a protracted discussion en the commercial and financial position of the country." Lord Aberdeen, on behalf of the Conservative, and Lord Grey, on the part of the Whig Opposition, professed themselves satisfied with this promise; and well they might, for, without attempting to weigh words and syllables, or to deal with the declaration of a high spirited nobleman by the rules of special pleading and minute verbal a iticism, any man t f plain sense reading this passage would understand,—first, that Lord Derby contemplated the probability of a dissolution unless some extraordinary circumstance intervened ; and, secondly, that he propoa , d in the course of the autumn, and before its close, to submit to Parliament :the question of what policy the Government ought to pursue. Mr. Disraeli was not so • xplieit in his expla• nations, and the result was, that while in the House of Commons the Mit isterial explanations gave rise to a long and angry debate, in the House of Lords the expla nation we. treated as qui'e sa'isisetory. On the follow ing Monday, however, Lord John !Wessell, stating the construction which he put on Lord Derby,'s answer, which was exacily what we have said would be the con structiou of any person of common sense, announced his intention, on the faith of the promise, to facilitate as much tut possible the progress of public business. This was dons in the presence of the Ministry; and if Lord Derby had been misreported, or if the construction paced by Lord John Russ , ll on his words was forced or erroneous, it was their duty to contradict an interpreta tion which, by their silence and acquiescence, they rendered their own. On the strength of this interpretation the estiman s were passed unquestioned, and no doubt was thrown on the intentions of the Government till Lord Derby's declaration of Tuesday last. " Nothing," he then said, " has ever fallen from my lips which could lead any one to suppose that the present would be a session of unusually short duration. I never said anything which could justify such a conclusion;" and afterwards Lord Derby added, interrupting the Duke of Newcastle for the purpose, that he _never mentioned the months of, April, May, or June, a statement in which be was directly and most m th is e le p d led t g h e e justly contradicted by the Duke. Of course, we its unable to account for these startling discrepancies, to bay u hetber Lord Derby u . s i e i etor n e i t il ra Y et n ir either point of view the House in the first instance, or whethe r he has since changed his mind, and now unadvisedly given. Be oc currence is greatly to be regretted. I n t h e f i rst place , it tends not indirec tl y to lower that u n h es i tat i ng an d eager confidence which everyone placed i n t h e assurance of Lord' Derby, unders t ood in its ordinary sense, and without the slightest apprehension of any finesse or am biguityfortaer eclai ation of langosged • _ the second place, such a depar s must give fresh bitterness allayed, After ono party has been, nal 'on and f • an into a flame those passions ttnehferxp_ ti sh e violoooe of which we had hoped to have been to use the mildest term,u so signally mistaken in the meaning of the other, that mi sta k e intaug i teLtl understavnerriyindgi.fficltiifconceded a great advan tage, will b e an d has, through thet to s b e r s i s n i o g n th em as except except the a a Ministers seems to think most desirable, destined to be brought to a speedy close, this end will now probably be obtained, not through mutual agree ment and compromise, but by making the minority feel in the fullest extent that it is the minority, and that Go vernment, in this Parliament at least, exercises its fano- Lions merely on sufferance. • We have no wish to rank among the counsellors of Lord Derby, but, as having been uniformly anxious to obtain for him the fullest hearing and the fairest trial, we beg to point out how little will be gained by pro tracting the session at the expense of so much character and public confide. ce. Tlie position of a Ministry in a minority is ni i her dignified nor popular. It, forbids a Government to advance, and for a Government not to advance is to recede. Every week that Lord Derby's belpless situation continues is sapping the foundation of that party fur whose support he looks at the coming election. Uncertain of the intentions of the Government, constituencies are taking the mat ter into their own hands, and are in many in stances displacin a dherents of the present Ministry to make room fo r Candidates possessing little else that is definite except an adhesion to the doctrines of free trade. The cry on that side is certain and popular; on the other the trumpet,se:s an uncertain sound, and who shall prepare himself fri _r Wavering be tween Protective yearnings and Free Trade realities, without any avowed policy, without any wearly defined intentions, the Ministry seems to live on from day to day impatient of its present anomalous state, and yet afraid to exchange it sooner than it is absolutely com pelled for its future condition, whatever that may be. • such policy is too refined and artful for the blunt and downright English nation. Let Ministers propound their principles, and it will accept or reject them; but in this free country we do not submit, except provi sionally, and then with much impatience, to the govern ment of a minority, and are not in the habit of being consulted as to what principles our rulers ought to ado?"' the advice of set. pil c s A a D e v er E ta ß in Tl C SlM e E r N or T dated os child, Feb. 14, 1852.

A general meeting of. the commissioners of land-tax, for that part of the county of Middlesex which is de scribed in the 38th Geo.. 111. as the " rest" of the said county, was held yesterday, at the Sessiens r house, Clerkenwel!, pursuant to notice, " to put in execution so much of the said Act as is thereby coa.mitted to their care and charge for the year ensuing." Oa the motion of Mr. WOODiVARD, seconded by Mr. OFFER, Mr. J. llargreave Mann, chairman of the Holborn Division, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said it would not be necessary at all for him to enter into any statement of the objects or pur poses for which the meeting was called, as they were well-known to every commissioner, and had been the subject of much discussion on previous 'occasions. After some preliminaries, _ _ Mr. COPPOCY said they had met on that occasion for the third time only, for the purpose of putting into execution that which the Act of Parliament under hich they were proceeding directed should be done every year—for the third time only he said had they met to do this in a period of twenty-eight years; and without their holding their annual meetings no warrant, c mild be legally enforced, and no assessment for land tax made, yet the injustice of the present system had ken going on the whole of that time, and because it had so gone on it was now to be said that it was one that could not be looked at. The Learned Gentle man then briefly mentioned the proceedings before the Commissioners of the Holborn Division, in 1850, which led to the question of the equalization of the land-tax being brought prominently before the public, and said that last year the commissioners, at their general meet ing, passed a resolution that the amounts assessed on a division should be raised by an equal pound-rate through out such division, but they were stopped from carrying that rea,,i.ti.,n into effect by a letter from Mr. Keogh, of the Board of Inland Reronuo, and thus they were pre vented, as it were, on the very elereatiela of, success, from doing their duty and 'doing justici) to the public; which they could ele eesiebnut- wrong to-any individual Ire Proceeded to contend that the equaliza tion of the unredeemed portion of the tax, or even its entire repeal, could not be attended ,with any injustice to those who had redeemed the tax on their property; and in comparing the rate of St. George's and St. An drew's, Holborn (one shilling in the pound), with that of Marylebone (one farthing in the pound), men tioned that at least one good result of these proceed ings, and one for which he thought he ought to re ceive the Wanks of the inhabitants of Marylebone, was the-discovery by one of the commissioners that one of the Marylebone collectors bad been making charges tor land tax and putting the money he received into his pocket. He then cited the various Acts of Parliament, from that of William and Mary, down to the present reign, having reference to the subject, and contended that the commissioners had the full right and power to raise the amount contributable by each division oy an equw pound rate. They had, he said, reason to cope for a better state of things now than existed when they appealed from Mr. John Wood of the Inland Re venue, to Sir Charles Wood of the Exchequer, alihougb ;hey then acted on the evidence given by Mr. Wood himself before a Committee of the House of Lords, which was published in the Lords' papers, and which he would read to the commissioners. But they now had another Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he (Mr. Cop pock) held in his hands the recorded opinions of that itigot Honourable Gentleman on this subject, end he found that at Aylesbury, in 1849, in the course of a pub lic speech, he said:— " i ens certain that there ought to be an equal adjust ment of local taxation, or rather what is called local, though it is in reality national taxation, and if that were btisiued, as in all justice it ought to be obt a i ne d, considerable relief would at once be given to tuts agt icultural interest I a a will i lib been cull your n w maatl dweltat attention nt in t oanother upon,o a nd the t Gentlemen, jaawht ar•ich rangement of that tax. You all know that farmers pay du opinion o ta lothe has already poor-rates givenp a i d a b yother v erdi ct t classes, hat tha and t sh o public a tshould not tee showed, so that before long a settlement of that ques tion may be expected, which will do justice to the agri cultural body. I am now,_ however, anxious to call your attenti o n t o a tax the arrangement of which is most unjust. No doubt every gentleman present has Heard and many pay the land-tax. ibis tax is so levied that the county of Buckingham pays la. sd. in the pound on the rental of the land, while other counties infinitely more populous and infinitely more rich pay 23. in the pound. You are, therefore, called upon to pay an undue amount of the land-tax. Mind, I am not speaking of that portion of land-tax winch has been redeenied, because that is always brought forward by our opponents to perplex the question, be cause in nothing that I propose do I wish to disturb any public compact which has been entered into. One-third of the land-tax has been redeemed, and therefore no longer presses on the soil; but two-thirds remain to be paid, and produces more than 1,000,0001. annually. Now, it produces is. sd. in the pound in the county of Buckingham, and only 2d. in Lancashire, and Is. 4d. in Liverpool. I ask you, then, where is the equality of that taxation? The inequality, however, is not peculiar to Buckinghamshire; for I was speaking to a gentleman from Hertfordshire on the subject before I entered the room, and I find chat in his county they pay ls. 6d. in the pound. I have alluded to Hertfordshire, because I do not wish t confine the consideration of the subject to Bucking hamshire.. 1 will al/to take a border county, that of Bed tord, where I find the tax is ls. 6d. in the pound, while in Northampton, another border county, it is more than Is.—in Berkshire, a sister county, it is le. 3d. Then, again, the remaining twenty agricultural counties, in cluding Somersetshire, Kent, Devonshire, and even Es sex—from which a petition signed by 25,000 persons in favour of equal taxation was sent to Parliament, that pe tition being given to me to present by their own county Members because I had originally brought the question orward—in these twenty agricultural counties the ave rage of the laud-tax is but little under Is. in the pound. Having given you these facts, which I have drawn from official documents, I will put before you the conclusions to which I have come. If the land-tax were levied throughout the country as in Buckinghamshire, and that is not so high as in 11,rifurdshire or Bedfordshire, in stead of realising 1,000 000/. it would realise 5,000,0001. Mind I am nut proposing any new tax opposed to the spirit of the age, but only the equalization of a tax which already exists, and in this I have a right •to anticipate the support of those who have declared themselves in favour of equal taxation and finaucial re form, for out of thy own mouth will I judge thee.' All that I ask is, that the tax on land, which has been already sancti.ned by Parliament by an ancient Act, shall be levied throughout the country in the same proportion as in Buckinghamshire; for, though the tax presses heavily on the agricultural districts, it does not press on Manchester, Liverpool, or Brighton. Gentle men, suppose wt; had this equalization of the land-tax, and the consequent 5,000,0001., the question arises what shall we do with it ? We have with this money the means, in my opinion, of raising the agriculture of Eng land from its .depression, so that the landed interest shohld find itself in that position in which, as long as I live, I will labour to place it." Ile (Mr. Coppock) found the person who uttered these sentiments was now the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the hope he entertained of their being assisted by him in equalising this tax was fortified by the opinions of the present Attorney and S elicitor-Generals—Sir F. Thesider and Sir F. Kelly. The subject was divisible into three parts : first, the inequality of parish with parish in a division; then division as with division; and then county with county. lie proposed ,only _to deal with the first, and the iniquity and injustice of the.pre sent mode of levying the tax would be apparent when it was considered that on one side of Oxford-street it was 6i. in the pound, whilst on the other it was but ad. They were not to exclude common sense from the appli cation of this Act of Parliament, and the commissioners were bound to equalise parish with parish in one divi sion. He was of opinion that they had the power to re arrange the divisions of the county, but that had better he dealt with by Parliament. So long as the Board of Inland Revenue got the quota assessed on the county, they did not care how it was raised or where it came from, but it was the duty of the commissioners to See that there was a fair and equal pound rate on the divisions. The ruling of Lord Campbell, and the other judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of Bradley Haverstoe, was clear and conclusive. Justice, law, and common sense were on his side, and he was confident the good sense of his brother commissioners would lead them to the same conclusions. He then moved— " That to raise the sum of 107,602/. Ils. 7d., the quota laid on the rest' of the county of Middlesex in and by the 38th Geo. 111., c. 5, for the service of the year 1852, the proportions to be raised by each division to be as follows:—(Here were inserted the figures of last year.) And that the same be raised by an equal pound rate on each division.". Mr. OFFER (of the Tower Hamlets division) seconded the resolution. He instanced the inequalities existing between some of the parishes of that division, in some of which the' tax was as much as 2s. in the pound, with ttLieaThe Marylebono, and said if they could not get justice with out going to Parliament, let them go to Parliament and obtain a general equalization. Mr. W. PAYNE (the Coroner) said the question was 'twofold, what it would be advisable to do, and what they had the power to do. He conceived that justice and common sen be were w i t h his friend Mr. Coppock in the hheadtotohe l took ianwthwisitmhabttiemr: and but theyhe could were not agree to c arrY out e,, , t , the law.

Mr. RAMSDN• seconded the amenduieni, on the uh derstandieg that it was to bo followed by 'the' nobtion to go to Parliament. He trusted that gen(' would arise from their proceedings, but if they passed ; the original resolution they would be without the ;evens of enforcing it—they would have no funds to contest their right to enforce it; and though he fully admitted the gross in• justice of the present operation of.the tax, ho thought an application to Parliament was the only thing they could adopt to remedy the evil. • Mr. Denaldsere , Mr..Neate. Mr. Woodward, and other commissioners, ltravieg' shortly spoken, Mr. CoPeoca. brif.fly replied. He said all had ad mitted the justice of bis case, and he was clearly of opi nionthai he had the !aim with him. He did not propose to interfere with division and division, but as to parishes within a division. And as to the letter of the Board of Inland Revenue, a more unauthorised or unwarantable letter never was writt en; and the threat that .the b oar d would defend the com m i ss i oners out of the publ i c money, should they be proceed e d against, was, in effect, setting the authority of that b oar d against that of the Q ueen ' s Bench, and, if he mistook not, that letter wou ld b e b e ard of in the house of Comm ons . The resolution, as amended by M r . P a y ne , was car ried, on a show of hands, by 32 aga i nst 1 8 . After some discussion, M r. Payne abandone d his resolution for making an ( application to Parliament, and, on the motion of Mr. .Coppock, it was resolved that it be referred to the committee appointed last 4ear to wait on the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the upon him the necessity of bri ng i ng t h e su bj ec t before Exchequer upon the subject Parliament. _ , with the view of urging The CHAIRMAN said the Lord -Lieutenant, the Mar quis of Salisbury, had taken the matter 4 hod . 4ao. inove_dfor returns On the subject.

Sir William Parker ha s g i ven up t h e com mand to Rear-Admiral Deans Du n d as , C . 8., an d left 116, Capt a i n Wi se, Malta in the Queen, for England, with the S i Ateful, 6, steam-sloop, commanded by the ad miral's son, Couimauder G. Parker. The squadron re maining on the other side of the Straits of Gibraltar is now limited to 13ritannis, 1 2 0, Captain Goldsmith; Tra falgar, 120, Captain Greville, and Bellerophon, 78, Cap- Modesto, 14, Com salonodp,ththee m ta l in Lord G. P Com mander Lord Compton; a following steamers, besides the breaking-down packets—Firebrand, 6, Cap tain Codd ; Scourge, 6, Commander Lord F. Kerr; Fury, 6, Commander Tatham; and a shaky old tub called the Shearwater, 3, Lieutenant Commander Horton. The elite of the Mediterranean force is now dispersed. We have not a singly ship at Corfu, no cruiser on the coast of Syria—at a moment, too, when the greatest excite ment prevails with respect to the Tanzimat; we have not a single pendant at the Pirreus, and whilst a heavy French frigate has by this time passed the Dardanelles, and is anchored off Constantinople, the re presentative of the British navy there i s an old, worn out, leaky tub—the Shearwater, with not guns enough on board to return any compliment paid to the union jack. Hitherto it has always been held that the natural rendezvous for the main division of the British fleet in commission is on the station on which the French fleet is cruising, and near the forces of other powers. It has also been considered that the best method of keeping our ships in an efficient state, and teaching our junior officers and men their profession, is by cruising and ex ercising together, and performing their evolutions in company and in aucoession, which enabled Howe, Jervis, and Nelson to engage so successfully the superior forces of the enemy. Opinions appear to have changed, and systems to have altered. It would seem now that the means adopted to make our fleet efficient are to koep the line-of-battle ships as far distant from each other as possible. Time, however, will test the soundness of the judgment which has weakened our Mediterranean forces at a time when our rivals are so strong on that station, and distributed our ships to those ports at which their presence is unnecessary.—Herald. We stated yesterday that commanders would be ap pointed to the flag-ships at the home ports as formerly, and we gave the appointment of Commander J. B. Marsh (1844), to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship. Sheerness. Two officers have now been appointed to the other flag-ships —bamely, Commander Alexander Boyle (1842), for merly of. the Thunderbolt, steam-sloop, to the Victory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth, and Commander John R. Rodd (1851), to the Impregnable, 78, flag-ship, Devonport. Lieutenant W. B. Mason (1848) has been appointed to the Britomart, 8, fitting at Devonport. Spithead now looks as of old. The presence of the Prince Regent, 90, the Superb, 80, the Rodney, 90, Hogue, 60, and Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, gives it a warlike appearance. Arrogant, 46, screw steam-frigate, Captain Robinson, was removed from the angle dock into the basin, at Portsmouth, yesterday morning, where she will further fit for service. Dauntless, 33, screw steam-frigate, Captain E. 1 ) . Halsted, was paid wages in Plymouth Sound ou Monday, and the men were'granted leave.

Bazzini, the great • Italian violinist, made his appearance on Saturday night. He was announced to perform three morceaux of his own composition, each entirely different in style and cha racter, and he bad not played a dozen bars before he proved himself not only a complete master of bis instru ment, but a true . musician by nature, feeling, and genius, delighting and revelling in all the passionate beauty and poetry of his art. M. Bazzini first pia) ed an elegant and brilliant study on Donizettes Anna Bolena —exquisitely performed, and followed by im mense applause. His next theme was the celebrated finale from Lucia, into • which .he threw a soul and ex pression not to be surpassed by that greatest of all in struments—the human voice. In his hands the violin absolutely sings this beautiful air with all the pathos, tenderness, and passion of a Rubini. The largo was executed entirely upon the fourth chord, .and was given by Bazzini with a power and grandeur worthy of Paganini himself, of whom he re minded every musician present who had had the gratifi cation of, hearing that great master. This marvellous performance concluded with a scherzo, "L 3 Ronde des Lutins," one of - those fantastic dreams of fairyland in which the imagination of the com poser and player is allowed full scope, and which considered alone as an exhibition of executive skill, is one of the most extraordinary feats ever heard on this instrument. His passages of tenths, dou ble notes, and daring leaps of bow and hand, preserving unerring truth of intonation, even in the wildest velocity of delivery, exhibited a mastery over every conceivable intricacy and difficulty impossible to sur pass. This wondrous display, at first frequently in terrupted by expressions of delight, as it proceeded gra• dually excited a perfect furore on the part of the public, who, after a tempest of applause, insisted on a repetition of the entire morceau, a demand which, notwithstanding its unreasonableness, was complied with by M. Bazzini with unimpaired energy; and he concluded amid re newed acclamations on the part of the entire assembly. Among the many claimants to the succession of the great Paganini, M. Bazzini must be set down as the most ideal and poetic that has yet been heard in Paris. ODEON.--.M. Leon Gozlan has produced Les Cinq Minutes du Commandeur, a-drama in five acts, founded on an excellent novel of the author's. The transplanta tion and adaptation to the stage has been effected so inju diciously that the plot, to those who are unacquainted with the romance, is perfectly incomprehensible. Under these circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that Les Cinq Minutes du Commandeur should have been a failure. Since the first representation it would appear that some changes had been effected in the drams, as it has kept its ground on the alfiche, where, however, it seems impossible that its sojourn can be permanent. OPERA. COMIQUE.—The last novelty here, Le Far fedet, partakes of the unsubstantial nature of the fan tastic being denoted by its title, both as regards the music and the libretto. It is an old story, but arranged ,in a new form, and gaily narrated by M. do Plsnard. A clumsy miller is about to marry the pretty Laurette, under the compulsion of one of those traditional uncles fast disappearing from the stage, while he is in reality attached to a cer tain Mdlle. Babet. Laurette,-in her turn, still regrets a former lover, one Marceline a baatoy.n, supposed to have been drowned. An evil spirit (a farfadeo appears, however, to have bewitched the will, for as the diy fixed fur Laurette's nuptials approaches, the machinery gets out of order, sacks of flour are tossed about, and a thousand pranks are played the miller, by the mischievous elf, who turns outs, 9. s 0 length, to be no other than Mona Marcellin the rni on V boatman. Laurette marries her lover, Bahet bec 6 but the wife of her miller, and everybody is satisfied, even P the public. The music, by M. Adam, ismention. It contains nothing meriting note or special_ ercier•and was extremely well sung by Mdlles. LTD, a nd Le Talmon, and MM. Bussine and Joni-a °cat satis- Farfadet was received with marks of 'illegal, faction. brought out GYMNASE.—Two novelties have 'bee.n here, both of which were rect . h a ; a two act affair, eived with favour. The first, Le Marquis de la Breteoc_ Madame I Mar - in which the artful designsof her er husband ere prettily guise" to win the affections and Carm9uche, the described by MM. Milesvlie having condet-cended to authors.

This sprightly affair is acted with great spirit by Mdlle. Luther and MM. N _ems and Latontaine. The other no velty, Le Piano de Berths, ism mere bluette to display the talents of MineS. Rose and Anna Cheri, and M. Bressaut. It is written in imitation of the style of M. Alfred do Ilusset in (in Caprice, and, though far from quaffing the original, it is not destitute of merit. The authors are MM.

The heroine has had the mishap to be seduced by a villain of a gay Parisian, named Du mont, who, having. abandoned her, she swears a wicked oath of vengeance against all of the name of Dumont.

By au interference of Providence, rover at fault at this theatre, the poisoner ultimately meets with condign puaishment. This terrible example of the Effects of libertinism is nightly received by delighted crowds, and, judging from the applause, virtue and mo rality are decidedly in the ascendant just now on the Boulevard du Temple. The piece is well enough acted, particularly by Mine. Naptaul Arnault, an actress worthy a place at a much higher theatre than the Ambigu. THEATRE NATIONAL.—A grand military spectacle, Geniviive, la Patronnee de Paris. founded on the legend of the patron saint of Paris, and the siege of the city by the Huns under the terrible Attila, has been pro due, d here with the utmost success. It is splendidly got up, and the strange costumes and mode of warfare of the barbarians and Parisians of the filth century, are represented with the greatest possible accuracy. The last concert of the Socie é Ste. C4i :de derived un wonted éclat from the presence of Atsdemoiselle Falconi.

The potential influence of public opine,n has already begun to tell upon the metropolitan water companies, and .Tuesday furnished one of its most unmistakeable proofs. The Lambeth Water Company has, ever since the year 1785, supplied the chief portion of southern London with water drawn from the Thames, in the im mediate neighbourhood of Hungatford-ttriclge. The purity of the beverage during the last century must hive bven questionable; what it has been for many years back it would•be almost painful to describe. A better ~ r a has, however,' dawned. A special train on the South- Western Railway on Tuesday conveyed the directors and a party of 350 friends to the Kingston station, to n o d n London-bridge, aboveon - b ri enormousd witness the opening of the new works, constructed by the comp a ny a t D u tton, on t h e b an k s o f the Thames.

The bed of these tanks is formed of layers of shale, pounded shells, and fine and coarse gravel, through which the fluid must pass to be pumped up the steam engines, and transferred by the aqueduct pipes to the reservoirs at Brixton-rise and Streatham-bill. Profiting tiy the guidsece of Mr. Simpson and Mr. Pole, engi neers, and Mr. Phipps, the secretary, the v i s it ors in spected the processes of filtration, the sluices having been opened for the purpose, and then examined, the boiler house and steam-engines. Four engines of 600-horse power collectively, of superior construction, furnish adequate power fur the supply of 10,0.00,00.0 gallons of water per day—a quantity which it is estimated may be increased three or even fourfold, if requisite. After duly inspecting the whole of the works, and witnessing the commencement of active operations, the company adjourned to a large marquee, where a very excellen t collation did much credit to Mr. Richard Grunter, the purveyor. Mr. James C. Peache, the chairman of the company, was supported - by Sir James Duke, M.P., Major Oliphant, 61r. Geach, M.P., Mr. Dakin, Mr.,. Pepper, mayor of Kingston, Lieu tenaut-Geueral Sir John Wilson, &e. After various toasts and speeches. which were all well received, the company dispersed, to re-assemble at the railway-station, about halt a mile dis. tent, where the special train conveyed the party back to town before night arrived. CALIFORNIA. From San Francisco. Californiariefhave advices to the 18th ult. The following is a 'summary of the news:— " The anticipations entertained at the opening of the present winter of a prosperous season in mining have been measurably disappointed by the unexpected ces• sation of the rains. At the opening of the season it was thought that the auriteous earth that had been thrown up would prove more productive during ;he winter months than any other department of mining. This would, doubtless, have been the case if the rains bad continued. Yet, notwith standing the unfavourable character of the season thus tar, a reasonable degree of prosperity had attended the miners generally in all parts of the country. The ordinary placer diggings continue to yield abundantly where there is sufficient water to work, and many loca lities which have been almost incessently worked since 1849 are still productive, without any appearance et ever being exhausted. This seems to be more especially the case in some of the southern mines. The Calaveras Chronicle, speaking of Carson's Creek, says—' The diggings all along the creek are paying well, although the ravine has been worked twice already. this has been perhaps the richest place in California, paying largely throughout its whole extent, while some portions of it have yielded amounts totally unprece dented in the mines. The want of water, however, is severely felt here ; but the miners are in expecta tion of relief in this matter by the introduc tion of water from the Stanislaus. Should this take place the ravines and fists along the creek will amply repay the labour expended in their working, and it is said that even far up the hillsides good diggings are to be found. The day after the recent rains a Mexican boy, walking along the creek, picked up a piece of quartz, which, up an being broken with a hammer, pro duced eight ounces of gold ; and on the same day a miner known as 'Norwegian Bill' discovered among the tailings a piece of pyre gold weighing six ounces. From this creek rises the celebrated quartz mountain, supposed to contain the richest veins of gold of any similar formation in the State. The most valuable sections of this hill have been for some time in litigation between Morgan and Finnegan and Co., which has interfered materially with the operations of both parties. There are several sets of machinery at work, crushing the quartz from the hill on the Stanislaus River, which runs by the base of the mountain on the east. There is no doubt hest this will eventually prove one of the moat produN_ veins in the country. We are informed by man who has spent some time in critical exaolna f q uartz of various mining distriots, and especially.n veveda mining, that the Rocky Bar Company, _ l ..t .J' ag et been tiingtiionnusi County, has suc.2eeded in constructing ~ ,r ,...s operation the most effective machine r yp r ogressing with introduced, and that their works ere tes we learn rrom . ,_ heavy dolls. per ton. y , and very every prospect of success.

Sheriff Nlarshall, we learn, arres ted the persona who had committed the crimes, and they proved to be, an Euglialaman and an Irishman, whose names we were unable to learn. The people were infuriated beyond control, showing by their excited ac tions that nothing but the lives of the criminals would be allowed to expiate their guilt. Accordingly them from the sheriff,' and, with shouts of passionate ex ultation, launched the unfortunate culprits into eternity. From C a l averet C ounty we learn that new diggings have recently been discovered east of the Butte, and about three miles from Jackson, which are creating some ex citement. The average depth is about twelve feet, and a portion of the dirt yields from 2 dolls. to 3 dolls. per pan. Hunt's Gulch—This old and well-known gulch is being thoroughly worked the present winter, and we doubt not that it maintains its old reputation. Over a half-million of dollars have been taken out of it since first discovered, and probably as much remains. With one or two exceptions this has been the richest gulch in our county, if not in the State. North Fork—The mi ners near ' The Gate,' who are washing the dire thrown up by them the past summer, are doing extremely well. 1 We are informed that their dirt, on the average, pays from one to three ounces a day per man. Quartz Veins —Several very rich quartz veins have recently been dis covered in the vicinity of the volcano. The discoverers are so sanguine of success that they are about procur ing very extensive machinery. Some of the rock averages from 40c. to 50c. per pound, A Sonora paper says,—' Last Sunday Mr. J. Rabey was - walking along a little to the north of the Bull Pen, and observed a small point of quartz sticking out from the ground with gold in it visible. He proceeded to pull out the stone, and found it to weigh 96 oz., and to be worth 1,000 dollars or upward. The Bull Pen lies c it the eastern base of the hill, the western base off t i a runs into Holden's garden. The character' quartz and gold just found is the same thatter of the arobsoly came o:any lumps found in the garden, and will be reawm. from another dip of the same vein. bered that about a month ago four other found on the surface within the short space of one .'::...
