St. John, and the authoress of Azeth are now num bered among the Mirror corps. In this number Mr. P. St. John continues his biography of Robespierre, which he brings down to the year 1789 ; and Mr. Maxwell continues his "Revelations of a Mess Table." John Oxenford gives us an exquisite translation from Jean Paul ; and Angus Reach furnishes, under the title of a:" Night with the M.P.'s," a pleasant gossip ing sketch of the House of Commons on the night of a grand debate. Our old friend Paul Pevensey con tinues his adventures, and engages in the somewhat desperate enterprise of removing the body of a crimi nal from the gibbet, on which it is suspended in ter. rorem, the said criminal being one of the colliers who, during the strike, had murdered a magistrate. The Mirror, if it improves as it has done of late, will soon be at the head of the magazines. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDA.Y.

News is at length received of Edith and Canker, and, as might have been conjectured from the un affected morality of everything Mr. Dickens has ever written—the proud wife has not fallen. " Dombey and Son" will not therefore resemble " Falkland" — that Handbook to Adultery ! James Carker has succeeded so far in his machinations as to induce Mrs. Dombey to cross the Channel and repair, ac cording to their previous arrangement, to Dijon -where he meets her, but finis to his dismay that he has " caught a tartar.'' The scene between the two runaways, recounted in the last chapter in the present number, is one of the most powerful and dramatic scenes Dickens has ever depicted. " The bald man with the beard" is one of those inimitable side faces ".13oz" alone can sketch to-the life in half a dozen syllables. Mr. Carker is true to his character throughout— " coming with his gleaming teeth through the dark rooms, like a mouth ;" and so is Edith in her magnificent pride and audacity. The two preceding chapters are of inferior interest, though they tend to prepare the way for the catastrophe; the first being an inter view between' good Mrs. Brovin, her daughter, Rob the Grinder, and the mtrchant ; and the second being an interview between Mr. Perch, John Carker, Harriet Carker, and the stout stratiger,‘who turus4tt. to be Mr. Morfin, of Dornbey's. The introduction of Mr. Perch, the messenger, is so ridiculously comic, that we give it entire. " I've stepped over from Ball's Pond at an early hour,' said Mr. Perch, confidentially looking in at the room door, and stopping on the mat to wipe his shoes all round, which had no mud upon them, agreeable to my instructions last night. They was, to be sure and bring a note to you, Mr. Carker, before you went out in the morning. I should have Leen here a good hour and a half ago,' said Mr. Perch, meekly, but for the state of health of Mrs. P., who I thought I should have lost in the night, I do assure you, five distinct times.' " Is your wife so ill ?' asked Harriet. By JAM ES WI LLYA MS GRILLS. Chapman and Hall, 186, Strand. THE SECOND EDITION OF 3/R.

A YEW THOUGHTS AT WESTMINSTER-HALL. The Judi assembled at Westminster-hall, On a matter important to great and to small ; The scene was exciting, the Court was a cramm'd 'un, And all seemed absorbed in the subject of Hampden. Each opened his ears, while he opened his vision, All anxious to come at the Judges' decision. 'Twas pleasing to see, in a place so immense, The " gents of th e l ong ro b e " w ith interest Intense ; While the Judges appeared in their w'gs and their ermine, The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine. MS - opinion concerning this matter—but st P ; 'Tis a party affair, and the subject must prop. For a topic like this—a political one — Is kept iii the b ick-ground by MOSES and SON. ret AIOSE and SON your attention would call To a few scatter'd musings In Westminster-hall. here were certainly many things there to admi e, While thousands assembled with faultless attire. I could trace, while I stood in the old justice-room, The presence of MOSES (at least in costume) ; Each o f w hich (though I wouldn't run anything down), In beauty could vie with the long legal gown. While I gazed on the ermine the Judges had on, I thought of the Furs of E. MOSES and SON. The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats, The Gloves and the Kerchiefs, the Stocks and Cravats, Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-haL, Bad given another great building a call. Islay they do so again —may the Mart be a " cramm'd 'un," And thus concludes MOSES, with I: enn Dickson Hampden. LIST OF FRIC Es. 7LIADT MADE.

AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain . . Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left with put calking." " The Argus brig, f:orn Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump clunked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. , The New Portab:e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, fo- out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven ,olely and seven maiuly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks; and in the •• eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyers, and 12,0V0/. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, a.A flour miPs, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfak Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they will do the work, whlch proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus : —The quantity 01' water actually raised by any machine seldom excee:s half the power consented, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic. machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented front twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best now heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 Ilse. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extrasrdinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esi., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French rump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side wills the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. it addley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewhank„kmerica, an ignorant pump lsook•maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. Bat the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millinglon's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after wihiessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the folio wing true and susta'n able character: —The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in 'he art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; deliv,ring from half a pint per stroke to 102 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the lierbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hal r on her head, after using it about four months, and the whale of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was beesre the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weeliley inserts this testimony to tho virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, butt as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a plesenre in answering any •ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant ancl'eurly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the Bair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the /lest aromatic herbs end flowers with confldsnce ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes is a ue,st necessary companion t the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an h-nir. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing, them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, arc continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with Ihe old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringersent, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to be small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at Intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, baying also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route melt Perfectly. The capabilities of this machine arc best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a largo number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be'obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermy►►-street, St. James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, . brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed. FOGS AND DAM? Art..

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter Pm latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosNr, hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social context. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice denaalol tkat health should form au item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Her nerves is so very delicate you see, and soon unstrung t Not but what the strongest nerves had good need to be shook, I'm sure. You feel it very much yourself, no doubts.' " Harriet repressed a sigh, and glanced at her brother. ‘" I'm sure I feel it myself, in my hunible way,' Mr. Perch cent on to say, with a shake of his heal, in a manner I couldn't have believed if I hadn't been called upon to undergo. It has almost the effect of drink up at me. I literally feels every Morning as if I had been taking more than was good for me over night.' "Mr. Perch's appearance corroborated this recital of his symptoms. There was an air of feverish lassitude about it, that seemed referable to drains ; and which, in f a ct, might no doubt have been traced to those numerous discoveries of himself in the bars of public-houses, being treated and questioned, which he was in the daily habit of making. "'Therefore, I can judge,' said Mr. Perch, shaking his head again, and speaking in a silvery murmur, of the feelings of such as is at all peculiarly sitiwated in this most painful rewelation.' " Here Mr. Perch waited to be confided in ; and re ceiving no confidence coughed behind his hand. This leading to nothing, he coughed behind his hat ; and that leading to nothing, he put his hat on the ground and sought in his breast pocket for the letter. "• If I• rightly recollect, there was no answer,' said Mr. Perch, with an affable smile ; but perhaps you'll be so good as to cast your eye over it, sir.' "John Carker broke the seal, which was Mr. Dom bey's, and possessing himself of the contents, which were very brief; replied, No. No answer is expected.' • " Then I shall wish • you good morning Miss,' said Perch, taking a step towards the door, 'and hoping.. Pm sure, that you'll not permit yourself to be mere reduced in mind than you can help, by the late painful rewelation. The papers,' said Mr. Perch, taking two steps back again, and comprehensively addressing both the brother and sister in a whisper of increased mystery, is more eager for news of it than you'd suppose pos sible. One of the Sunday ones, in a blue cloak and a white hat, that had previously offered for to bribe me— need I say with what success?—was dodging about our court last night as late as twenty minutes after eigla, o'clock. I see him, myself, with his eye at the counting' house •keyhole, which being patent is impervious. Another one,' said Mr. Perch, • with milintary frogs, is in the parlour of the King's Arms all the blessed day. I happened, last week, to let a little obserwation fall there, and next morning, which was Sunday, I see it worked up in print, in a most surprising manner.' " Mr. Perch resorted to his breast-pocket, as if to produce the paragraph, but receiving no encouragement, pulled out his beaver gloves, picked up his hat, and took his leave ; and before it was high noon, Mr. Perch had related to several select audiences at the King's Arms and elsewhere, how Miss Carker, busting into tears, had caught him by both hands, and said, ' Oh! dear, dear, Perch, the sight of you is all the comfort I have left !' and how Mr. John Carker had said, in an awful voice, 'Perch, I disown him, Never let me hear him men. tioned as a brother more?"

THE COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. Nos. xix. and XX. By Gilbert Abbott A'Beckfit. These two numbers bring down the history to the death of George the Second, and complete the work for the present. Mr. A'Beckett, however, leads us to hope that he may on some future occasion laugh us merrily through the reign of George the Third, and we hope that that future may not be far distant. DOUGLAS JERROLD. " Twiddlethumb Town," b y t h e Eli: or, is con ceived and executed in a spirit of gen•line Pants gruelism. The " Voyage to the Isle of Jacks" reads like a recovered fragment of Rabelais. But although Rabelais might have written the " Voyage to the Isle Of Jacks," he was not large- heart e d e n o ug h to have wr itt e n the description of the cup of patience— neither could old John Bunyan have written it, albeit it is somewhat more aft er hi s fashion, but he had not the wit. Edmund Spenser might, perhaps, but even he would not have done it better than Douglas Jerrold. Read and jud ge H a , sir; what a goblet! I t is set around with dia monds from the mines of Eden; it is carved by angelic hands, and filled at the Et ernal Fount of goodness. It is the Cup of Patience. Resolve to take it, and though you scoop 3-our pauper ha n d i nto the brook, you drink from out the chalice. " Patience is 919 strongest of strong drinks—for it kills the giant Despair. And sweet it is to think there is no beggar so beggared who may not entertain his cap bearer. Beau . iful Hebes—dove-eyed, and clothed in woven light!—who, unseen, minister to the widow and fatherless; who fill the strengthenin g cup for stumbling want ; who glide thrcugh prison bars, and solacing the patriot with the draught, put hopeful music even in the clanking of his chains. " Delicious drink! And there have been men who, thinking so, hate got so drunk upon patience, that the sweet intoxication has endured for their lives. Unlike the vinous drunkard, the knocks and humps they suffer in the tippling, they never feel. Therefore, doubly beautiful is the cup of patience, for there is no remorse ful morrow at the bottom. " And then the magic of the drink! What eyes and ears it gives a man! How bright and how elastic it makes the spirit ! When the fruit.rul dews of A ine are singing in the brain, that sees to break i nto a purple light, reflecting al things gloriously; and when Briareus only wants a hundred pockets, that ho m ay use all his', hands at once, tossing up gold and jewels fur all men— why, it may be, the next moment brings the doubtful thought ; the wino rejoices no longer, b ut stuns ; and the all-helping giant lies a snoring carcase. " But the draughts from the cu p of patience! They really take the masks and coverings from t hi ngs; and sharpening the sight with futuri t y , a n d quickening the cars with sense above the crash and discord of the world, make the drinker prophet. The deeper his draughts, the keener his eye, the more delicate his ear. Beneath the jewelled crown he sees the naked skull; holloweyed, it stares upon him final companionship. Th e trumpets bray, and he thinks of the note that in common file shall call up king and beggar. And so — whatever be his lot —he strengthens himself with patience, making his heart-strings of immortal proof. And thus he t a k es hi s place, and plays his part: his reproo f of pride, a smile; his rebuke of wrong, a sigh." " Editor Hunting in Prussia," be read by all those admirers of the Prussian regime, and exclaimers against the licentiousness of the press, who would fain see a something analogous to the Prussian cen sorship established in this country. If there ev er was an organized hypocrisy inthis worldit is the beauro cratie Government of Prussia. The censorship of the press has occasioned the dulness .of news papers. If like causes produce like effects, may we rot conclude that that the censorship of the drama oc'easion?d the dulness of English plays ? Certain it is, that dramatic literature in this cou n t ry h as been gradually declining ere since the licensing system has been introduced, and we suggest t o M r. Jerrold the propriety of making an endeavour to procure a free stage as well as a free pres s . Th e other articles are of average quality.

St. John, John Oxenford, Angus B. Beach, Stirling Coyne, Percy VANITY FAIR. No. XIV. By W. M. Thackeray. In this number Becky obtains one great object of her ambition, and is presented at Court by the gentle Lady Jane, to the great horror and annoyance of Mrs. Bute Crawley. Nor is this her only triumph— coerced by Lord Steyne, Lady Steyne invites her to a grand dinner at Gaunt house, and thus she at length succeeds in getting into society. Turn we now to poor Amelia. Old Sedley, who has mortgaged Jos.'s annuity, is on the verge of starvation, and, to save her father and mother, Amelia consents to ac ,cede to old Osborne's proposition .to give tip Georgy to him on condition that he shall' be per mitted occasionally to visit her. On her acceding to thiS proposition, old Osborne surlily says to his daughter, " You had better send that woman some money—she shan't want for nothing—send her a hundred pounds ;" but the old brute adds, " So she don't come in here, mind I No, by —, not for all the money in London." . The feelings and conduct of poor Amelia, after parting with her child, are thus beautifully described : " A few days are past; and the great event of Amelia's life is consummated. No angel has intervened. The child is sacrificed and offered to fate: and the widow is quite alone. " The boy comes to see her often, to be sure. He rides on a pony with the coachman behind him, to the delight of his old grandfather, Sedley, who walks proudly down the lane by his side. She sees him, but he is not her boy any more. Why, he rides to see the boys at the little school, too, and t , ..) show off before them his new wealth and splendour. In two days he hal adopted a slight imperious air and patrenising manner. He was born to commar.d, his mother thinks, as his father was before him. "It is fine weather now. Of evenings on the clays when he does not come, she takes a long walk into Lon don—yes, as far as Russell. square, and rests on the stone by the railing of the garden opposite Mr. Osborne's house. It is so pleasant and cool. She can look up and see the drawing-room windows illuminated, and, at about nine o'clock, the chamber in the upper story where Georgy sleeps". She knows—He has told her. She prays there as the light goes out, prays with an humble humble heart, and walks home shrinking and silent. She is very tired when she comes home. Perhaps she will seep the better for her long weary walk ; and she may dream about Georgy. ' One Sunday she happened to be walking in Russell square, at some distance from Mr. Osborne's house (she could see it from a distance though) when all the bells of Sabbath were ringing, and George and his aunt came out to go to church; a little sweep asked for charity, wad the footman, who carried the books, tried to drive him away; but Georgy stopped and gave him money. May God's blessing be on the boy! Emmy ran down the square, and coming up to the sweep, gave him her mite too. All the bells of Sabbath were ringing, and she fol lowed them until she came to the Foundling Church, into which she went. There she sat in a place whence she could see the head of the boy under his father's tombstone. Many hundred fresh children's voices rose up there and sang hymns to the Father Beneficent; and little George's soul thrilled with delight at the burst of glorious psalmody. His mother could not see him for awhile, through the mist that dimned her eyes." COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen had a dinner party yesterday at Buck- Lrigham Palace. The company included their Royal Ilighnessthe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, wihßole Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of ,axe-Uoburg his Serene Highness Prince Frederick - - - - of nesse, Count Arthur -Mensdorff, Lady Augusta Cadogan, Madame de Wangenheim, Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lord George Lennox, Baron Knesebeck, Laron Fritsch, and Colonel Wylde. . _ The band of the Grenadier - Guards was in attend ance during dinner.

The Queen and Prince Albert, conducted by the Lord Chamberlain, and followed by their illustrious visitors, afterwards entered the picture gallery, where, at the upper end, a spacious orchestra had been erected for the first performance of the late Dr. Mendelstohn's music to to the " CEdipus Coloneus," an abridged English version having been written and adopted to it, expressly for her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. It was recited by Mr. Bartley, and the author, who, as upon the occasion of the Antigone's performance, at Windsor Castle, assisted him as his chorus speaker. A. numerous and judiciously selected mass of voices, professional and amateur, singing with great effect the profound and impressive strains which the la mented author has woven with this beautiful relic of antiquity, their efforts being ably sustained by her Majesty'a private band, increased for this occasion by a number of the most eminent instrumentalists of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Mr. Anderson directing the whole performance with his accustomed care and ability, greatly facilitated the execution of the difficult and elaborately-wrought meld-dramatic portions of this noble pendant to the Antigone. An Invocation for (Edipus to the Powers of Hades was charmingly sung by Messrs. Genge, Peck, C. Beale, and Collet, fora ing a quartett, into which the chorus, at its conclusion, glides most effectively. ~ The " Descriptive Chorus of Athens as a State , ,, " The War Chorus," and " The Thunder Chorus , went off most impressively.

Cape of Good Hope papers, to the 12th of Decem ber, have arrived, which inform us that Colonel Somerset had been successful in his operations to the east of the Kye, by which the hostile Kafirs lost two thousand head of cattle, and upwards of twenty mer, who fell in the several skirmishes. Great doubts seemed to exist as to the sincerity of the chief Um hala, in his professed submission to British authority. It was confidently affirmed that numbers of Pato s people were living under the protection of Urnhala, whose conduct of late was said to have been of that dubious character as to call for the most rigid in quiry. Reports were in circulation thit the Kafirs had again occupied the Amatola. The following general order has been issued dated Cape Town, Dec. 1, 1847 :-- "Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., G.C.8., to the command of the Forces at the Cape of Good Hope, and his Excellency having arrived, he was pleased to make the following appointments on his staff: — "'Captain H. L. Ma,ydwell, 41st Regiment, Military Secretary. "'Major J. Garvock, 31st Regiment, Private Secretary and Extra Aide-de-Camp. " ' Lieutenant G. A. Haldich, 80th Regiment, Aide-de -Camp. E n sign J.

Prior to the sailing of the Isabella the Arab, 12, Commander MorriA, had not arrived from England. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown, had arrived in Simon's Bay a few days prior from England and St. Helena ; and the Admiral in the President, 50, was daily looked fir from Bourbon. The Nimrod, 20, Commander Dacres, was the only man of war in Simon's Bay when the I sabella left, except the store and depot ship Seringapatam. She did not call at Ascension. PERNAMBUCO.—LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—By the bong Kong we have advices from Pernambuco to the 29th of December. C om mercial affairs are dull. E r _ change, 27.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Naida, a new three-act version of the favourite Gymnast) drama of La De esse , was pro d uce d h ere last evening with complete success. Rose Cheri was the heroine at the Gymnase ; at the Princess's Madame Anna Thillon is the Deesse, and sings exquisitely some beautiful music, composed for her by Mr. E. Loden. In the first act Naida, to serve the designs of a false priest of 13ramah, is replaced as a new incarnation of the god of the temple, a green monkey, the previous deity having suddenly died. But Naida, although performing the part of a god. dess, is the daughter of a European, the sacrificator of the temple, who had been shipwrecked with his daughter and the infant son of his master, the Count de Mongeron, during a voyage to the French settlement of Pondicherry, on the is land of Eldorado. The two children have grown up in the temple, and a mutual passion is the result. A French vessel arrives off the island, the captain of which carries back to their native country Naida, her father, and the young Count de Mongeron. The latter is restored to his family, where Naida is also harboured for a time, hut the proud Countess de Mongeron is highly incensed at the love of her son for the lowly Lndian yraiden, and while, through her influence, she is borne away and imprisoned in a convent, her lover is induced to believe that she has eloped with the naval officer. The young noble, crushed in his affections, throws himself headlong into the vortex of dissipation and extravagance, whilst the father of Nails, who has amassed an immense fortune, obtains his daughter's liberty through his wealth, and purchases for her a villa at Versailles, whence the favourite dancer of the Grand Opera has just eloped with a Prince. Here the spendthrift Count, her former lover, who had been pursued for debts and duels, arrives to seek the popular danseuse, whom, however, he knows but by reputation. At first Naida denies her real name, and treats him with disdain; but restores him all her affection, and marries him, when she learns that his errors have arisen from his belief in the fabrication of her faithlessness and treachery. There are other characters besides those to which we have adverted. Amongst others, that of an Indian (Mr. Compton) brought to France, who, in the days when Naida was a goddess, was porter of the Temple, and was habitu ally engaged in emptying the butts of Bordeaux which were shipwrecked with her, and in filling them with stones, which, turning out to be diamonds, have made her father's fortune. The arch manner of Madame Thillon's acting, and the spirit with which she sung, kept the audience in perfect good humour, while Compton excited much merriment. The music, composed and introduced by 'Mr. Edward Loder, was highly pleasing, particularly a ballad, " I hart. not a notion," which was e►►cored, as well as severnl other morecaux sung► by the favour ite vocalists of this theatre. The piece was com pletely successful, and Madame Thillon was honoured with the usual ovation. EXETER HALL. Handel's Judas Illaccabceus was performed last evening, under the direction of Mr. Iluflab. Great interest was excited by the announcement that Mr. Reeves was to sustain the tenor part, and the hall was densely crowded in every part. Before the perform ance began a handbill was circulated, stating that Mr. Reeves was labouring under severe indisposition, but that he would, nevertheless, attempt to sing. Ile sang accordingly, and exerted himself in a manner which called forth the warmest expressions of admi ration and pleasure. lie showed at once that he knew how to sing llandel's music, and that his Italian education, while it gave a grace and smoothness to his canlilena, which English singers rarely attain, did not derogate from the plain simplicity of style which this music demands. He did not introduce an embellishment, or even an inflexion, which the se verest llandelian could find fault with, while he expressed, with force and beauty, every shade of the composer's meaning. Mr. Reeves has it in his power to succeed Braham as the greatest English singer; and, in doing so, he must also make himself, as a singer, the greatest English speaker. The sublime choruses with which this oratorio abounds were ad mirably executed. In the grandest and most difficult of them, " 0 Father, whose almighty power," and " hear us, 0 Lord," the complicated points of the harmony were taken up with as much precision as if each part were one gigantic voice ; and every shade and gradation of tone was given with the delicacy , which can he attained only by excellent discipline. It is an advantage attending Mr. Hullah's perform ances that the choristers are not compelled to scream and bellow at the utmost pitch of their voices, in order to be heard amid a storm of brazen sounds from the orchestra. his instrumental band supports his voices without overpowering them. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE HAYMARKET THEATRE. —Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal highness Prince Albert, and his Majesty the King of the Belgians, and attended by a numerous suite, honoured the Haymarket Theatre with her presence on Wednesday evening, the first night after her return to town. The play was the Wife's Secret, and her Majesty and the Royal party seemed highly gratified with the exquisite acting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean in this beautiful drama. Those accomplished artistes were enthusiastically applauded throughout the evening, and the applause not unfrequently !pro ceeded from the royal box—a compliment which was most richly deserved. After the performance, her Majesty expressed her very great delight with the play and the acting . ELECTION FOR THE NORTHERN DIVISION OF SHROPSHIRE.—The sheriff has appointed Wednesday next, the 16th inst., for the election of a Member for that division of the county, vacant by Viscount Clive's succession to the peerage. Mr J. W. Dod, the Con servative candidate, is expected to be elected without opposition, no other candidate having presented himself. His Excellency Sir Stratford Canning arrived in London on' Wednesday from Paris and Switzerland. His B icellency had a protracted interview with Viscount Palmerston immediately after his arrival from the French capital. We understand Sir Stratford will remain about a fortnight in town before he departs for Constantinople to resume his diplomatic duties as Ambassador at the court of the Sultan.

The inmates and neighbours at fi r st got the whole of the valuable horses under the lofts, and they then set to work, and by great perseverance succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the property in which they commenced. FIRE IN HUNGERFORD ARCADIL—Last night, between seven and eight o'clock, a fire, that caused con siderable alarm, bet fortunately did no considerable damage, broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Costo and Ellsay, newsvenders, situate in Hungerford Arcade. It was caused by some defect in the gas pipe, which allowed the vapour to escape. The stock in trade was severely damaged before the fire could be extinguished. The flames %sere confined entirely to the premises in which they commenced.
