Al though there was nothing peculiarly ostentatious in the pro gramme, the p e rformers acquit te d t h emselves so admira b ly as to satisfy even a f astidious taste from Guillamme for the di v i ne a r t.

Hand e l Gear, and Erman afforded her material assistance by their vocal and instrumental performances. Among the numerous assembly present, several members of the Roman Catholic aristocracy ' were observed; and from the satisfaction evidently affordedby the preliminary concert, we conjecture that this charming and intellectual series of entertainments will meet with the success to which it is eminently entitled. MR. ARTHUR GURNEY.—We understand that this gentleman, who offered himself at the last election for the West Riding on Protection principles, died a few days since. A ToucmNo FAREWELL.—The only allusion to the departure of the Lord Lieutenant in the Nation, in the course of its sixty-four columns, is comprised in half-a-dozen lines among its most insignificant news of the week, and in the following paragraph among the " Notices to Correspon dents:"—" A correspondent informs us that a nobleman of the name of Lord Heytesbury, who is said to have lived for • some two years in strict seclusion in the Phoenix Park, left town on Friday, and went to England. What then? We did not know of his coming—we never saw anybody who saw him, and take no interest whatever in his going away." THE WEATHER.—SuN OFFICE, JULY 13.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS Lord JOHN RUSSELL arrived in town yesterday morning from Wimbledon, and attended last evening in the House of Commons. A number of new appointments will be made both in the Administration, and also in the Royal House hold next week, on the return of her MAJESTY and the Court from Osborne House. Places have, it is understood, been assigned to Lord FALIELAIQD (who is returning from North America), and also to the Hon. Mr. PHIPPS, the brother of Lord his official capacity. JU6TUS LIEBIG and VICTOR HuGo are severally ennobled by name, as an acknowledgmezt that they were previously ennobled by nature : but FARADAY and DICKENS must content themselves with the vague admiration of their Countrymen. One nation bestows the ermine and the coronet upon the successful author gr the astute philosopher, the other evinces its approvia by endowing their hands with a knife and fork, and by proposing their health in a neat after-dinner oration. Though the latter appears somewhat like squeamish generosity and spurious gratitude, we welcome it cordially it' default of some thing better. A letter from Constantinople, of the 24th ult., in a German paper, mentions, as an unprecedented instance of toleration in Turkey, that the marriage of an Armenian female with a Turk, without her having previously abjured her religion, has been declared valid. The Swiss Diet was opened at Zurich on the 6th instant. A note has been addressed to the Govern ment of the canton of Tesino, by the POPE'S Nuncio, complaining of some laws recently enacted. The note declares these laws to be oppressive, and op posed to the spirit of toleration. Advices from Rome of the 2d, state that the pub lication of the amnesty will not be long delayed. The authorities are busy at present in collecting and classi fying the names of the persons condemned, and whilst waiting until this is fininhed, his Holiness grants pardon to all demanding it. The nomination of the two Secretaries of State, without being yet official, appears to be determined on—Cardinal Gizzi for Foreign Affairs, and Cardinal AMAT Dl SAN FILIPPO E SORSO. The fete of St. Peter was celebrated on the 29th. Notwithstanding the harmony which exists between the Courts of Rome and Naples, the POPE protested anew on this occasion against the conduct of the King of NAPLES, who refuses to pay the pretended tribute for the investiture of his kingdom. Madrid papers to the 6th inst. inst. have arrived. The Herald°, of the 4th, states that some persons in the province of Orense had been exhibiting the portrait of the son of Don CARLOS for sale, but that it had met with few purchasers. All parties in Spain were preparing for the elections. _ _ The Absolutists had met at the Duke of VERE GUA'S, and had come to the following resolutions?— " Ist. The Absolutist party will present itself at the election. 2dly, the Absolutists elected will use their in fluence in the urging the marriage of the Queen with the Count de Montermolin (son of Don Carlos). idly, a mani festo shall be drawn up with this view." The hopes of this party, however, have been greatly discouraged by the refusal of the Marquis DE VILLUMA to sign the manifesto in question, and so completely are they broken down as a party, that this appeal to the electors will not, it is expected, produce the slightest effect. Intelligence has reached Madrid, from Santander, of the total failure of the potato crop in that part of Spain, in consequence of the re-appearance of the po tato disease. The diligence, which left Madrid for Bayonne on the 3d, met with a fearful accident on the morning of the 6th in the Spanish Pyrennees, at a hill called Rentoria. Descending at too rapid a pace, in turning an angle, the carriage, passengers, and nine mules were precipitated over a steep precipice. The first fall was upwards of twenty feet, and all would have been rolled into the abyss beneath but for the intervention of some trees. Strange to say, none of the passengers were seriously injured. Among the number were P. S. BUTLER, Esq., M.P. ; Mr. CORBET, nephew to J. BLACKBOURNE, M.P. Esq. ; Capt. WILSON, late 7th Hussars, and Captain PILKINGTON, Royal Engineers. Of these, the three first escaped unhurt, but the last was seriously bruised. The rest of the party were more or less contused, but were able to proceed in the course of ,the day. One of the Madrid papers, of the 6th, repeats the report of the loss of 600 troops on the coast of Al meira, by the sinking of a steamer, in consequence of her being overloaded ; and it is added, that although representations had been previously made to General RONCALI by the captain on the danger of such over loading, that officer maintained the order for their embarkation which he had given. We, however, believe this report to be unfounded, for the Gazette of the previous day announced the arrival at Tarra gona of the steamer Alerta, with 600 troops on board, who had been embarked - for that place under the orders of General RONCALI. Advices from Lisbon to the Ist inst. had been re ceived at Madrid Everything was tranquil at that date, and the excitement in the public mind seemed calming. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The dreadful accident on the Great Northern Railroad is the one all-absorbing topic in France at the present moment. Even the approaching elections remain unheeded. In another part of our paper will be found full particulars of all that has been published on the subject of this horrible catastrophe. The annual banquet given to M. GuizoT by his constituents at Lisieux is fixed for the 26th, when, as usual, the Minister will give an exposition of his future policy. It is said that his programme will in clude several most important reforms. M. GUIZOT left Paris on Saturday for the neighbourhood of Lisieux The daughter of her Royal Highness the Princess of SAXE-COBURG GOTLIA was baptised in the Chapel of the Palace of Neuilly, on Thursday evening. The Christian names of the infant Princess are MARIE ADELAIDE AMELIE CLOTILDE. The Colonial Council of Guadaloupe has remon strated against the measures propounded for the ame. lioration of the condition of the slaves. Several skirmishes with the Kabyles had taken place in the province of Constantina. M. DE SALVANDY landed at Algiers on the sth instant. The Duc D'AUMALE has arrived at Marseilles The Debats gives the number of persons about to be raised to the peerage at twenty to twenty-two, of whom about twelve were members of the Chamber of Deputies which has just been dissolved.

NEW PLACES OF MEMBERS IN THE HOUSES.—The new Ministers last evening took their seats upon the Treasury benches. In the House of Lords, Lord Brougham retained his former seat on the Opposition benches, Lord Lyndhurst sat on his right, and the Earl of Ellenborough on his left. Lord Stanley was not in the House. The Duke of Wellington, who was in the House for only a short time, took his seat on the Woolsack by the side of the Lord Chancellor, and spoke from the Bishops' bench. The Earl of Dalhousie spoke from the Opposi tion benches.—ln the House of CommonQ. Sir James Graham took his seat as leader of the Opposition. Mr. T. Duncombe spoke from the back benches, on the Opposition side of the House. The protectionists in a body took their former seats on the Ministerial side of the House, below the gangway. Lord Ingestre, as one of their body, spoke from the place which he has occu pied during nearly the whole of the present Parliament. Sir R. 11. Inglis retained his former seat, flanked on both sides by the Liberal Irish Members. SOLICITOR-GENERAL..—Mr. Dundas has IYen appointed Solicitor-G enera l. This arrangement will save Mr. Baillie Cochrane the t rou ble, expense, and mortification, which must have been the results of another contested election at Bridport. Mr. Cochrane, anticipating the selection of Mr. Romillv for the office which will be filled by Mr. Dundas, issued his printed address to the electors of Brid port, and the document was circulated in the borough on Friday last. wic S k o: i i n zn: - T. : u s r M o o f MONUMENT.—edThe noble piece of sculp ture intended to be erected in Crosthwaite Church, near Kes• its destination, and will be placed in its position in the church by Sunday next.

Manlove and Alliott, bleachers, was bro ug ht up a t the polic,e-office, Notti ng h am, on a charge of forging a bill of exchange for 851. 17s. The prisoner was in the habit of collecting accounts, and paying and receiving cash at Messrs. Aroore and Robinson's bank, on account of his employers. lie was committed for trial at the assizes. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY „MORNING, JULY 14, 1846. NORMANBY. ILord Jour; RUSSELL will on Thursday even ing address the House of Commons. Rising to address that assembly for the first time in his life as the Prime Minister of this country, and, under momen tous circumstances of peculiar novelty, to explain the present intentions and to expound the future views of his Government, the occasion is one which both Parliament and the nation at large will neces sarily regard with feelings of the deepest interest. We rejoice to think that this duty will not devolve upon Lord ;roux RUSSELL unaccompanied with incidents calculated to give him the strongest encouragement faithfully and firmly to fulfil the high mission which his SOVEREIGN has called upon him to undertake. The Premier will find him- self this evening already surrounded by a great majo. rity of his colleagues, who, by their acceptance a office, had to appeal to their several constituencies for the honour of being returned to Parliament. This of itself will be highly gratifying. It will show the confidence which the country imposes in the high character of his Lordship. Almost every hour brings us the intelligence of the unanimous return of a member of the new Government, and this too without the extortion of any pledge from the different candi dates. The country has shown, by the recent elections, it has not forgotten that Lord JOHN'S elevation to the Premiership was no act of his own seeking, that it sprang from the factious conduct of a party who vi rulently attacked a Minister because he preferred conversion to the dictates of reason, confirmed by the lessons of experience, to the continuance of power, based upon the sustentation of monopoly. There is no doubt of many of the Ministers having been mainly indebted for their prompt and unopposed re- election to the candid and handsome assurance given by Sir R. PEEL, on announcing to the Commons his retirement from office, and since reiterated in his written replies to public bodies, that he would give his cordial support to his successors for the removal of all remaining impediments to the action of free trade. Had not this language been held without reserva tion, we might have seen many a protectionist can didate started, delusively elated with the hope of suc cess. But Sir R. PEEL, by his seasonable declara tion of his future conduct, cut this ground from under their feet. The monopolists have thus been driven to the convenient subterfuge, that they have only de layed their trial of political strength with the coun try, on account of our near approach to a gene ral election, conformably with the law re gulating the duration of Parliaments. The absence of all party spirit on the various hust ings augurs well for our progressive civilisation. Lord Jousi Russraa., in the City of London, Sir Grostaz Gut, at-Devonport, not to name others, have been unsparing in their praises of the late Primo Minister. The protectionists would do well to imitate these laudable examples, to abandon their factious inspirations, and, with these, the insane hope of fostering class interests, to the prejudice of the general welfare of the community. It seems, however, they are determined not to re main idle, and that, instead of showing themselves manfully on the hustings, they have regaled them selves with a white-bait dinner at Greenwich. From the names that have been published of those who attended, it was in every sense a political ban quet. No reporter was suffered to be present. Such an arrangement implies nothing in its favour, but everything against it. The English hate hidden councils. Where a body of men feel strongly for a particular cause, and are conscious of the rectitude of their principles, nothing in this age would be more desiderated than that a faithful account of their pro ceedings, and of the sentiments they entertain, should, by the aid of the press, be borne upon its wings throughout the country, whose voice must ultimately decide in favour of the adoption or rejection of the principles espoused. It would appear that Lord STANLEY, in the course of a long speech, enlarged upon the necessity of maintaining, in its full inte grity, the Established Church in England and Ireland, and exclaimed, " Woe to the Minister who dares to interfere with either !" We are not aware that an intention can be imputed to the present Government of attempting to weaken the Established Church. On the contrary, both Mr. MACAULAY, at Edin burgh, and Colonel Fox, at the Tower Hamlets, declared themselves, in reply to questions put to them upon this subject, opposed to a total severance between civil and ecclesiastical affairs. It is perfectly compatible with the full maintenance of the principle, by which our Church and State is at present go verned, that the reformation of considerable abuses, which at present disfigure the connexion, should be effected. Lord STANLEY himself, as a member of Lord GREY'S Go - vernment; stood 'sponsor to the necessity of this species of reform. The state of the Irish Church demands at this day extensive revision. Its excrescences must be pared down to render it a healthy and useful institu tion. By legislating in this spirit, we shall more surely rivet the affections of a large body of the Irish, and, at the same time, by freekg the Church frem all blemish, render it a happier instrument for accomplishing its gracious purposes. One of the most fertile causes of the unhappy state of Ireland, leading to bloodshed and outrage of every description, has been the dissensions unhappily arising out of religions differences. The taunting exhibition of flags and banners, the playing of party tunes, the triumphal processions commemorative of an event which has been regarded as the forerunner and cause of all the misery and suffering, the misgovernment and oppression, by which our Roman Catholic brethren in that kingdom had so long been afflicted, from which the penal code, so long a disgrace to our sta tute-book, with all the long train of humiliations at tendant thereon, was supposed to have had its origin, must necessarily excite the most bitter feelings, the deepest indignation on the part of the great majority of the people. In the olden time, when the rule by which our sister Ireland was go verned was, Divide et impera—in the palmy days of Protestant ascendancy, when the mass of the po pulation suffered under a deep and burning sense of the injustice to which they were subjected— when the great body of the magistracy were selected from the most violent parti zans, and the profession of Orange principles was looked on as a necessary qualification for the aspirant to a seat on the bench of justice, those offensive periodical exhibitions were sanctioned and fostered by the authorities ; the outrages committed by the Orange party were connived at, or so le niently dealt with, as to impress them with a sense of perfect impunity, ao matter how atrocious their conduct might be, or how great the insults or pro vocation they might offer to the persons or the religion of the vast majority of their countrymen. Wherever the parties were at all equally balanced, the excited and indignant people got up counter processions, and a conflict was sure to be the result of the meeting between the opposing parties ; from thence sprung strife and feelings of the most embit tered hostility between those who were neighbours, and ought to have been friends, and no opportunity was lost of giving vent and expression to those feel ings, until scarcely a fair or market could be held in the neighbourhood without being disgraced by one of the faction fights, in which too frequently lives were sacrificed, and riot and bloodshed affixed a stain on the locality and the characters of its inhabi tants. The matter was perhaps still worse in those districts in which the Roman Catholic parties, were too weak to venture on an open resistance, they watched the processions with moody looks and lowering brows, and curses not loud, but deep, and intensely bitter, attended its progress. They asso ciated together in secret and illegal societies; they sought not redress from the law, in the administration of which they had no confidence ; but fearful and harrowing outrages effected on the person s or proper ties of those whom they looked upon as their perse cutors and oppressors, bore terrible evidence that they indulged themselves fully in the wild justice of re venge. Each party became doubly exasperated, and looked on the other as its natural enemy, on whom it would be criminal to let slip any opportunity of retaliation, and thus a kind of civil war sprung up which had its source in those silly and unmeaning exhibitions. Subsequently, when our brethren were admitted to the enjoyment of civil rights, and the penal code was swept away from our statute-book, or at least its provisions became obsolete, although many insulting and vexatious laws still were suffered to remain until this present year, the greateit exertions were made by the Liberal Government to put an end to these processions, to terminate all party exhibitions, the " teterrima causa belli." The Orange Association was included amongst the secret societies which were de clared to be illegal, and its leaders and principal members seceded therefrom, and declared the disso lution of the society. Unfortunately all did not obey the direction and follow the dictates of those leaders, but the body was new modelled, and new rules and regulations were adopted for its governance, by which it was kept without the pale of the law. The Parties' Procession Act, too, and the active and stringent measures adopted by the Government, had their effect in mitigating the evil, and, to a certain extent, stop ping the proceedings, but " the snake was scotched, not killed ;" and it is with the deepest regret we have observed that, notwithstanding the express and urgent entreaties of the more prudent and respectable mem bers of the body, it has been determined that the pro cessions this year shall take place, and this very day has been selected for the purpose. We trust much to the firmness and discretion of the new Government. We doubt not that all will be done to lessen the dis astrous consequences of the meetings, and to bring to ample and condign punishment all persons by whom the majesty of the law may be offended and the peace of the country disturbed. We ;I'so trust much to the effect of the good advice which has been given by Mr. O'CONNELL and the leaders of the Roman Catholic party to the people. They can now well afford to treat with silent contempt and to laugh at such silly exhibitions. They have a Government determined to deal out im partial j ustice to all, without distinction of religion ; they have the most honoured professors of their own creed receiving the most flattering marks of the confidence of the Crown, selected for the most honourable posi tions on the bench of justice, the confidential advisers of the Government, many of them members of the Ministry; they have had the evident gratification of hearing from the most influential leaders of all par ties that the principle on which Ireland is hencefor ward to be governed is a perfect equality with England in her civil, municipal,- and political institutions. Looking at it in this point of view, the procession may be considered as a funeral pageant—the celebration of the obsequies of deceased ascendancy. The man who would think it worth his while to offer an opposition, by provoking a hostile encounter, in which blood might be spilled, must be looked on as being guilty of equal folly and wicked ness with the provoking party. We cannot close our observations without noticing and paying the tribute of our admiration to the able and eloquent observa tions of Mr. Justice CRAMPTON, on this subject, when opening the commission at Armagh, on Wednesday last. We trust that they will be attentively read and fully considered, and that they may induce many to pause ere they consent to take a part in such an ob jectionable and improper proceeding. Though we are not disposed to sympathise in that frivolous alertness which has latterly prompted the Paris journals to analyse the intentions of public dinner parties—and which alertness has particularly manifested itself among those newspapers in some very acrimonious animadversions upon the Waterloo Banquet and the entertainment given at the Reform Club to his Highness IBRAHIM Pacua—we are prompted, nevertheless, to advert to a remarkable dinner which has recently occurred within the boun daries of the metropolis. Towards the conclusion of last week the LORD MAYOR of London, departing from the usual etiquette of his predecessors, received, as guests to a magnificent collation, a vast number of those among our contemporaries who have, in any especial manner, distinguished themselves either in science or literature. In rendering this tribute of gratitude and encouragement to the labours of intel lect, we conceive that his Lordship has imparted to his mayoralty a character which must ever render it conspicuous in the civic annals. He has testified by this act of spontaneous hospitality the intimate con nexion which subsists between the counting-house and the studio, the laboratory and the dock-yard ; he has by an especial act, as Chief Magistrate of the capital of England, evinced his appreciation of the truth which was uttered upon this occasion by the Marquis of NORTHAMPTON, namely, "the extreme importance of science and literature in a commercial and trading country." So intimately are these interests associated, that, without their co-operation with each other, both must long since have languished and become utterly extinguished. Without the experiments undertaken by JAMES WATT in mechanics, pneumatics, and other branches of natural philosophy, where would have been those facilities of communication which promote the industry, the comfort; and the civilisation of the human family ? Without the aid of literary weapons —first adventured by the catechisms on political economy by Colonel PEYRONET THOMPSON and the nervous rhymes of EBENEZER ELLIOTT, and after ( wards diffused throughout the length and breadth of the land by the periodical tracts of the League —where at this moment would be the prospects of a free-trade policy in England ? Or, going back to a more remote and primitive example, what would be the condition of agriculture but for the ingenuity of TUBAL CAIN ? Or wherein could navigation have acquired any stability, savinp; in the discovery of the magnetic power, and the in vention deduciole therefrom in the mariner's corn pass; or, still further, in the prosecution of a yet lof tier study, the science of astronomy ? It w`reuld be preposterous, in short, to enter upon any detailed or systematic exposition of the mutual ties which tend to fraternise commerce and literature, science and manual industry. The marvellous connecting bands which associate these great systems of action with each other form the very nerves of that vast and complicated machine—Society. Never, indeed, were these facts more conspicuously attested than in this wonderful epoch when the rarest treasures of each are being incessantly exchanged for their greater development. Nor were these treasur es ever lavished in any country with such extraordi lnaanrdy, a fo n r d i b n ene t fi b c is ent isla p n r d odig b a a l % i ,e ty baesen o in prd ' E u n c g ed . the most astonishing mechanisms of manufacture, in this island steam power first revealed its giant form, and in this island the blessings of an un restricted trade have been first conferred upon the population on a gigantic scale. Hence it is to us a peculiar and exceeding source of gratification to observe the respect thus testified to philoso phy and authorcraft by the highest func tionary in the greatest city in the empire. As science and literature are so subsidiary to the ina!rests of the commercial community, it is , but just that the latter should be subsidiary to the' representatives of the former in the expression of its gratitude. As it does not appear to tally with the arrangements of the Legislature and the Peerage to encourage science and literature by elevating their most illustrious worshippers to the aristocracy, surely it is a gratifying incident to observe the tribute paid to such men by the LORD MAYOR of London in MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a quiet but steady market for Cotton at Liver pool on Saturday, sales about 4,000 bales. A moderate business was done in Shares. The market generally was firm. We understand that the friends of free-trade are about to celebrate the passing of the corn and tariff measures by a public dinner in Covent-garden Theatre. This afternowt a preliminary meeting mill be held in the theatre to make arrangements. It is expected from the number of indivi duals, who have expressed a desire to aid the cause, that a most numerous attendance will be given, and that the affair will go off with the greatest éclat. There are accounts this morning from the West Indies, brought by the Trinity Yacht in the very short period of twenty-four days. This vessel has come over in a shorter period than any of the mail-packet steamers have yet accom plished the voyage. The complaints of the planters were still very general, and deep anxiety was manifested as to the resolves of Parliament with respect to the sugar duties. The principal part of the cargo of the Trinity Yacht consists of 20,000 pine apples, said to be in first-rate condition. Irrom the Cape of Good Hope advices have been received to-day, to the 16th May. The skirmishes between the troops and the Kaffirs still continued, and generally terminated in favour of the latter, but this did not prevent constant depreda tions, burning of homesteads, robbery of cattle, &c., owing to the great extent of the frontier, and the fact that the military arrangements for its defence were not in a complete state, although very effective considering the force and stores at the disposal of the Governor. There is an undoubted neces sity fur early and ample reinforcements from England.

RETURN OF ADMIRAL DUNDAS. The election for a Member of Parliament to represent the borough of Greenwich, on account of the resignation of the Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas, who has accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, took place yester day, at ten o'clock, on a hustings in Church-street, Greenwich, near to the parish church. There was no opposition to the Gallant Admiral, who offered himself for re-election, and consequently there was no excitement whatever. At the hour of commencing the proceedings there might be about 2,000 persons present, a great proportion of which had come from Woolwich and Deptford, accompanied by approprate banners and bands of music. The gallant candidate was ac companied by Edward G. Barnard, Esq., the other Member for the borough. Among the gentlemen present we recognised Colonel Fead, Colonel Dundas, Captain Wood, Captain Fead, Josiah Har graves, Esq., H. Hargraves, Esq., C. Millington, Esq., George Burnitt, Esq., Charles Harwood, Esq., John Wade, Esq., and a great number of the most influential electors of the borough. The returning officer (Thomas B. Fisher, Esq.) read the precept for the election, and the usual formalities having been gone through, he called upon the electors to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the occasion, as they had hitherto done under similar circumstances. CHARLES HARWOOD, Esq., in a neat and appropriate ad dress, nominated the Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. IV. Dundas as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Green wich in Parliament. Mr. JOHN WADE, of Deptford, seconded the nomination. The returning officer then took the sense of the meeting by a show of hands, which was unanimous in favour of the no mination. He then, amidst loud cheers, declared the Hon. and Gallant Candidate duly elected as the Member for the borough. Admiral ININDAS returned thanks for the honour just done him by the electors of Greenwich and Deptford. With regard to his future conduct in Parliament, he could only, as an illu-tration of what it would be, point to what it had been in the past. He had no inconsistency to explain away. He had for years supported the repeal of the corn-laws, and other liberal measures, and he would continue to do his best to forward every legislative proceeding calculated to advance the interests and extend the liberties of the people. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, who spoke but for a few minutes, was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address. In reply to a question from Mr. Wade, Admiral Dundas promised to give the question of the condition of those em ployed in her Majesty's dockyards his best consideration, with the object of increasing the remuneration at present paid them. Mr. BARNARD, the other Member, being loudly called for, also addressed the meeting, in a speech which was an echo of the sentiments delivered by the llon. and Gallant Admiral. He stated he had always acted consistently with Liberal principles, both on the corn-laws and other questions, and he would continue still to do so. After a vote of thanks to the returning officer for his con duct in presiding over the election, the meeting separated. THE MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—We understand there is no truth in the report that Mr. Sergeant Gazelee has been appointed to proceed as judge pro tern. on this circuit, in con sequence of the illness of Mr. Justice Coleridge. CH kRTROT RE-ORGINISATION.— Since the retirement of Sir Robert Peel and the advent to power of Ltr I John Russell, the Chartist leaders have held several meet i ngs for the purpose of re-organising their body, and adopting mea sures to obtain the six points of the Charter, and a free par don for Frost, Williams, and Jones, and all transported Char tists. Mr. Feargus O'Connor and Dr. APDowall will, it is said, be the leaders of this new movement, which, accor di ng to the scheme of its concoctors, is to have no connexion with Whigs or Tories.—Sunday paper, • COURT CIRCULAR.

La , t night a crowd of fashionables—albeit it may seem a contradiction in terms—an enthusiastic crowd of fashionables (for genius can endow even the blase habitues of fashionable life with enthusiasm) assembled at the St. James's Theatre to do homage to the greatest tragedian in the world, Mademoiselle Rachel. She ap peared as Camille in Corneille's tragedy of Les Horaces —a character in which we have frequently seen her before, and in which, each time that we have seen her, we have gone to the theatre predetermined to watch her critically, and not to suffer ourselves to be carried away by our feelings, but in every instance the genius of the actress has so carried us away that criticism has become impossible. As easily might we attempt to criticise the sublime scenery of the Alps, or the exqui sitely beautiful scenery of our own Cumberland lakes. Nature defies criticism—she is above it ; and Rachel is nature — beautiful —exquisite--perfection. Voltaire proposed to write those words at the foot of each page of Ravine, as the only just and true criticism ; and such is the only criticism applic able to the acting of Rachel. Not only is she naturally a most intense and impassioned actress, but Nature has been improved to the highest pitch of perfection by study. She is in the higliest sense of the word an artiste, and she works up a character to a com plete climax. In Camille, for instance, no sooner does she enter upon the scene than without a word beisi spoken the liectator feels that she is a doomed victim. How exquisitely beautiful is her love for her family— how intense her love for her affianced husband—how deeply pathetic her melancholy at the thought that Alba and Rome must join in battle, and those she loves must meet as enemies. Then what can excel the ecstasy of her joy when she learns that those she loves may yet be saved, because the cham pions on each side are to be c►aosen to do battle for their respective countries ? Can anything exceed it ? Yes, the depth of her despair, when she knows that her brother and her lover are among the cham pions. The catastrophe approaches—two of her bro thers are killed ; the third has fled, but her lover is safe. Bowed down by grief, she leans on her father. Sorrowful is she for the loss of her brothers, but not alto gether despairing. Her lover is safe, and his safety is to her more than brothers or country. Then comes the cli max. Her brother's flight is but a stratagem—he has re turned and killed her lover. The tale is told by a messenger to her father. She turns towards him, intently listens, and when she hears the dreadful truth, she shrieks not. moans not, speaks not ; but, as a bird fascinated by the glaring eyes of a serpent, a tremulous shudder pas es through her frame, and she sinks dead ! Ay ! dead, for although the body revives after a time, and utters horrible imprecations on Rome, it is not animated by the soul of Camille. That gentle soul has passed away to its rest, emancipated from its fleshly tabernacle by the announcement of the death of Curiatius. But the body remains ; there are convulsive movements, horribly convulsive movements, of that body, which is re animated by a demon. It is no longer Camille, but Nemesis, that speaks ; and, de_ nouncing vengeance on the Horatii and on Rome, ag gravates Horatius to the commission of the murder of his seeming sister, and thus condemns him to the intensity of remorse. Such is the idea which the acting of Mademoiselle Rachel gives us of the con cluding scene, and such di;ubtless was the intention of Corneille. In reading the play, the conclusion has hitherto struck us as an anti-climax. We have always consi lered that the tragedy should end with the death— for we will call it the death—and not the swoon, of Ca mille, on hearing that Curiatius has fallen ; but Mdlle. Rachel has vindicated the genius of Corneille, and made the climax perfect. Her Camille is the most sublime histrionic effort the world has ever seen. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S —YESTERDAY.

The Gazette du Midi publi-hes the following anecdote of the new Pope, Pius IX. :—" When Pius was Archbishop of Speleta a revolutionary movement took place, and one of the chiefs having been arrested, there was found at his resi dence a sealed packet, which he confessed contained a list of all the officers and others who had entered into the conspiracy. The Commissary of Police, triumphant in the discovery, went to inform the Archbishop of it. 'lndeed,' said the let ter, this is an important discovery—where is the packet ?' The Commissary having shown it, the Archbishop said that considering its importance, he hoped it would be placed in his hands. The Commissary hesitated, and observed that he was going to send it to Rome, but the Archbishop having observed that he would do all that was requisite, he at last consented, at the same time, however, perhaps thinking that the Arch. bishop wished to assume all the credit of the communication to the Government. The Archbishop had no sooner got pos session of the packet than he tore it to pieces and threw the fragments into the fire. The Commissary was struck with terror, but the Archbishop said to him, 'Fear nothing, I will take everything upon myself. You have done your duty as a Commissary of the Government. and I have done mine as a Bishop. Are there not a sufficient number of per sons compromised, and enough families in grief already?'" THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The remains of this much-lamented Judge were interred vesterday, in the family grave at Kensal-green Cemetery, Harrow-road. At nine o'clock the mournful cortege, consisting of a hearse drawn by six hordes. and ten mourning coaches each drawn by four'horses, left the family mansion in Bedford-square, for the place if its destination. The ceremony, in every re spect, accorded with the position which the deceased occu pied up to the hour of his death, and the arrangements of the same were efficiently made by Mr. Smith, of John-street, Oxford-street, who accompanied the procession throughout. The attendants principally, if indeed not wholly, comprised the more immediate relatives and frimds of the deceased, including Mr. Baron Parke, Sir William Symonds, of the Civil department Royal Navy; Major Symonds, Captain Tindal, R.N., and T. Tindal, Esq., sons of the deceased ; Sir J. De Vieulle, of St. Helier's, Jersey; and about thirty other gentlemen, several of whom came from distant parts of the kingdom.
