On Saturday the festivities attending upon the visit of the Volunteers to Belgium were brought to a close by a grand banquet, which was distinguished for its special magnificence. King LEOPOLD has cer tainly done his best to do credit to Belgian hospi tality, and to do honour to his guests. He has dis played a truly royal spirit in his arrangements, and at the present time it is especially fortunate that Belgium should be well represented before the nations of the world. The enthusiasm created among the Volunteers was very great by the care and consideration bestowed upon ' their by the KING; and when his MAJESTY'S health Was proposed, they all sprang up and cheered vociferously. Amid the tumults and strife which have so unhappiy raged of late upon the Continent it is quite refreshing to meet with this agreeable and striking chang e , How t ar wiser and happier are those nations which content themselves with ex changing amenities courtesies, and only strive in the honourable exciteme n t of peaceful struggles for superiority than those who rush wildly into war, and are never happy b ut when tplanning deed:, of spoliation, and thiuki n n, o can add to their wealtha„d what Power. It is long since so numerous an assembl ge Was en tertained by a monarch, amid it would have been iwpossible to surpass in splendour and appropriate ness of elegance the royal banquet to the 'Volun teers at Brussels. In a few impressive words the KING drank to the health of those Sovereigns who were represented that day in Belgium, being spired, as be said, by sentiments of friendship to wards them, and with the spirit of international union which characterised their fetes. The speeches delivered on the occasion were very interesting, and did credit to those who had to come forward in a conspicuous manner at this grand entertainment colonel LOYD LINDSAY declared that they expo• rieneed the greatezt delight at the hospitality Re corded to them by the generous people around them Ile truly said that the spirit of good and free inter course in which they had met must tend to the im provement of all concerned in the affair, a more cor rect knowledge of their own defects, and of their neighbours' good qualities. "We volunteers,' said the gallant Colonel, " have learnt a les son during the past week, not from books or newspapers, but from a nation itself. We have read in those hearts that which England most ad mires—love of country, respect for their nationality, and a determination to maintain it, even with their lives." There is great power in this, and at the present time no more fitting and appropriate lan guage could have been employed. We knew that in consequence of the disturbances created by the interference of Prussia that it has been suggested in many quarters that no small European State can be considered safe, and hints of a direct nature have been given about Belgium. We know no better or more fitting reply to make to these prog nosticators of evil than the words uttered by Colonel LINDSAY, when he said that " it is not mountain passes or mighty fortifications which secure the in dependence of a people; it is respect for their insti tutions and love for their Sovereign." 'We feel convinced that if danger assailed Belgium and its security was threatened that no fault would have to be found with its people for their want of zeal and lack of courage to protect their rights. Also we are sure that they would have the sympathy of this country, and we do not believe that either Prussia or France would seek to outrage the feelings of Englishmen by making an attack on our ally. It is indeed most gratifying that the late festivities should have come off in so satisfactory a style ; but even more than that is it important that a good understanding should exist between this country and Belgium. The other nations of the Con tinent will not be slow to take the hint, and if there should have been any foundation for the sinister rumours lately afloat, now in all proba bility the eTil intentions will be abandoned. If, on the contrary, their existence should have been illu sory, the display of Saturday will tend to prevent the usurpers and oppressors of the Continent con sidering Belgium as fair game for their efforts and an easy prey for their spoils. No doubt this interchange of friendly sentiments at Brussels may in the end prove of service to the cause of peace and good will. As the KING ob served, " Belgium, which in former times was a cause of disunion among the European Powers, has now become the tie which unites them ;" and it may be of great importance in more ways than one for this affair to have been so eminently successful as it has been. The representatives of the foreign nations there, and the distinguished visitors had an opportunity of seeing our Volunteers, and judging for themselves of their fitness for service and military prowess. Very likely they saw and heard more than was quite agreeable, but at any rate it is a matter of rejoicing that our Volunteers should have displayed themselves to so much ad vantage in a foreign country, and proved in an un mistakable manner that if need arose they are ready to do the work they have set themselves, and defend their country in a spirit worthy of their forefathers of renown. The annual meeting of the Hinckford Conserva tive Club, held on Saturday last, possessed some thing more than the strictly local interest of such affairs,from the presence of a member of the Govern ment. Mr. Do CANE does not, it is true, hold a place in the Cabinet, but the office which he fills at the Admiralty is by no means unimportant, and he is usually regarded as one of our rising politicians. There is besides just now no small amount of curiosity felt regarding the intentions and opinions of the new Administration. The great question of Reform is still unsettled, and though Lord DERBY, warned by the example of preceding Governments, distinctly declared that he wculd. give no pledge on the matter, there is a growing conviction among all classes that no Cabinet can long hold office which refuses to deal with it. If Lord DERBY were a mere locum tenens, if he accepted office only to give his opponents time to recover themselves and collect their scattered forces, he might put aside the consi deration of this problem altogether ; but if he aims, as he does aim, at governing the country and manfully confronting the difficulties of the time, it will not be possible for him to avoid all considera tion of Reform. The representation of the country is in an anomalous condition, and although the charges brought against our House of Commons as a whole have been unfair and exaggerated, there is sufficient ground for complaint to render some alteration absolutely necessary. The great evil of the system is the mode of eleetion,niontditshpeuteahbale racter of the representatives ; but it is that there is much discontent respecting the inequa lities of the franchise. Admitting the present class of members to be unexceptional, and the mode of election t 6 be all that is desirable, there are still hundreds of thousands who want to have a voice in the matter, who feel that they have as good a right as others to take part, if not in the delibera tions of the Legislature, at least in the selection of representatives. This is a very unsatisfactory state of things, especially when there are always those who for their own purposes are eager to fan the flame of discontent, and echo the murmurs of the disaffected. We arc therefore glad to see indi cations in the political horizon that Lord DERBY is not unwilling to give the sub ject careful consideration, although he may wisely enough decline to bring forward another hasty and ill-considered measure without testing the feeling °Lille House and the country. Mr. D u CANE, in his speech at Castle Hedringham, entered largely upon the question, and so far as his own opinions are concerned, he boldly declared that he was anxious and Billing to see a fair and comprehensive measure of reform passed through the House of Commons. " I believe," he said, "that if a measure of reform could be passed, which, without placing the balance of political power in any one class, should provide for a fair representation of the existing institutions of the country, and at the same time offer more opportunities than at present exist for the industri ous, intelligent, and saving portion of the artisan class to enter into our electoral system—such a measure would not only widen the area, but would at the same time materially strengthen the founda tions of our representative government." Moderate men of all parties, and especially those who are really anxious to see this great question settled on a satisfactory basis may well subscribe to this theory, and must certainly echo Mr DUCANE'S assertion, that if the Government see their way to the passing of such a measure they would be very wise to avail them selves of the opportunity and settle the question. Mr. Du CANE, however, expressed a very earnest hope that they would not approach the topic of Reform Without the conviction that the measure they intend to propose wonld have a chance of y om d u is lo cu ns s , s o Since i t t o h o r u e t - o s p u e e n h t a h s e s uirnatnecre pmaisnsai n b g l e t h p e a t would be rather to obstruct than to assist the pro gress of the country. There are, as he justly observed, a host of other important ques tions waiting for deliberation and decision, fields of Parliamentary labours which may well tax the highest intellect and the greatest euer- The condition of Ireland, Of India, of our gies. colonies, the state of the metropolitan workhouses, -the perplexities attending national education, and the most efficient means of national defence, are amply sufficient, one would think, to give occupa tion to a good many sessions. The continual post ponement of these great questions is in fact an addi tional reason why it is highly desirable that this troublesome question of Parliamentary Reform should be got out of the way. It has too long served as au excuse for indolent governments, and has of late co,npletely engrossed the attention of ener getic and public-spirited men, both in and out of :Parliament. We cannot afford to go on wasting session after session in the discussion of what is, after all, only the means to an eud. A Reformed Parliament will have its work before it, and those who anticipate the immediate disappearance of all abuses, and the arrival of a political millennium as soon as we get a reduction of the franchise, a redistribution of seats, and the ballot, are likely to find themselves very grievously mistaken. Reform is stopping the Parliamentary highway, and a whole crowd of neglected measures and post poned difficulties are accumulating in its rear. We shall have a complete dead lock if we do not take care, and it will be in the interests of all parties to arrive at some definite conclusion. If Lord DERBY will intimate that he intends to give the subject fair and impartial consideration, and will give the house and the country ample thae to consider and discuss his bill when he decides upon it, he will do wisely. The question can then be laid aside for a time, and the other great national problems receive the attention to which they are entitled. We can not hope or expect to see a Reform Bill carried next Session, whoever is in power. It will be enough if it be introduced before the House again breaks up, and supposing the immediate return of a Liberal Ministry to office this is all they could attempt. Many of the imperial questions referred to above imperatively demand attention, which we hope will be no longer withheld from them ; and though a Reformed Parliament might possess some advantages in dealing with them, their consideration cannot be postponed for two or three sessions without serious evil. There will be work enough for the reformers and the reformed for a good many years to come, so there is no reason to alarm ourselves about not leaving them work enough to do. Mr. Du CANE, iu the course of his remarks upon Reform, threw out a very valuable hint, which we hope some of the more extreme Radicals will not refuse to take. He asserted that the worst detractors of the working classes were to be found in their own orators and writers. When he found the organs of the press which represent the working men upholding the unruly mob who broke into Hyde-park and assaulted the police as peaceful and orderly citizens, and the Secretary of the Trades' Union of Sheffield alleging the withdrawal of a man from his union as a pal liation of an atrocious outrage, he felt the work ing classes as a body were libelled by their own friends, and he did not wonder that' others beside bigoted Tories hesitated to admit them to political power. This is in fact a remnant of that old bitter party feeling which draws a broad line between two forms of policy, and everything on the one side is justifiable, everything on the other atrocious. Plain right and wrong, however, will not change sides to meet the exigencies of party, and Englishmen at large like fair play in politics as in everything else. The French EMPEROR has left Biarritz, and on his return t 3 Paris we may look for some change from the dull state into which Continental politics have fallen. The funeral of M. THOUVENEL is to be performed in a suitable manner at the public expense, and this because of his distinguished ser vices to his country, as we are informed by an Im perial Decree. It is satisfactory to find, from the latest accounts, that the health of the EMPEROR is now very good. At anytime he could ill have been spared from the direction of affairs, but just now the conse quences would be deplorable. It has been said that the French Chambers will be assembled a month or two earlier than usual, in order that their sitting may be over before the Exhibition commences, but there is really no valid reason to give for this step being taken. It is also hinted that changes will be made as to the right of address, &c., but we must hope that this report is without foundation. It would be unwise to curtail any of the privileges now accorded to the Senate, and give great occasion to the enemies of the Imperial Court to prefer their charges and make unpleasant comments. We hear that the Plebiscitum has commenced in Venice with the greatest enthu siasm, and the inhabitants have already sent an address to the KING, so that in a short time we shall no doubt receive the welcome intelligence that the national work has been in a great measure consolidated in Italy. The fate of Saxony is yet in abeyance, but we may now venture to hope that the time expended in the settlement of affairs may be a positive and decided gain to that kingdom ; and, if so, there will be one change for the better in the programme drawn up by the implacable Count Bts- MARCK. Ills illness, whether real or imaginary, has no doubt been of great service to the cause of Saxon independence, and enabled the advocates of fair play to have a chance of being heard. From a telegram received this day, we hear that at a meeting held on Saturday at Glynn, Mr. Pope Hennessy was unanimously approved as a candi date for the county of Wexford. He is also actively supported by the dean and vicar-general of the diocese. LAMBETH-BRIDGE TOLLS.—On Saturday the lease of the tolls for Lambeth-bridge for the ensuing year was put up to public auction at the Westminster Palace Hotel. A statement was placed in the hands of the bidders to the effect that the tolls for the past year amounted to £2,788 14s. 3d., and that the amount received had regu larly increased at the rate of £2OO per annum. After a very slow competition the maximum bid reached was £2,500. The agent for the bridge company then said the company's reserve bid was .£2,800, upon which he could not abate more than £3O. No further bid was made, and the lease of the tolls is therefore retained by the company. COLDBATH-FIELDS PRISON.—There are at pre sent upwards of 1,700 prisoners in the House of Correc tion, Coldbath-fields. So large an increase has there been in the number of prisoners committed from the county of Middlesex That batches have been sent to the Nottingham and York gaol; their support being paid for by the county of Middlesex. Notwithstanding this, it is a fact that in some wards at Coldbath-fields as many as 110 prisoners are huddled together in hammocks at night, with only a soli tary gaoler to keep watch and ward over them. Anything in the shape of overcrowding and the generation of foul air which has been brought to light in connection with ... e casual wards of workhouses can be matched, if no t e ceeded, in the House of Correction.—Surrey Guardian. MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—Seven years ago there lived at Handford, near Trentham, a working man named Charles Carnall, who, from some unexptained rea son, deserted his wife. Thinking that the parish officers would be better able to find him than herself, the wife ap pealed to the authorities, and eventually became an inmate of Stone Union. While there a man, unknown, died at a lodging-house in the last-named town, and his body was taken to the workhouse. As the room in which it was placed required cleaning, the woman Carnal! was sent to clean it, and, naturally enough, looked at the corpse. She had no sooner glanced at it than she exclaimed, " Bless us ; this is my husband." Two of her brothers-in-law wore at once sent for, and they were of the same opinion ; as,was a woman named Phillips. Carnal!, it appears, had lost one eye, and had a swelling at the back of his neck caused by the kick of a horse some years previously. The corpse was said to be thus deformed. Mrs. Carnal! has since lived in Stone as a widow, where one of the brothers also re sides. As the latter was sitting in his house on Thursday night, to. his horror the supposed dead man knocked at his door, and immediately presented himself, alive and well. The man remained with his relations during the night, and disappeared next morning. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The iilemoriul Di plomatique contains the follow ing important information iu regard to Italy and the Pope. I have reason to believe that the par ticulars are authentic : "The approaching expiration of the Convention of the 15th Septerrber naturally diverts public attention and the solicitude of the Cabinet of the Tuileries to the question of the future existence of the temporal power of the Pope. _ _ _ " The French Government has renewed its decla ration that it wishes for and will maintain that sovereignty. On condition of certain internal re forms, combined with the establishment of regular relations between Rome and Italy, France is ready to guarantee to the Pope the integrity of his pre sent States, and the full independence of his double sovereignty. " It is in this spirit that the French Cabinet has expressed itself to Rome, again insisting upon the necessity of an identical policy between Italy, de finitively united, and the Holy See. We do not know what reception the Court of Rome has given to these propositions, but there is no doubt that in its reply expression will be given to the urgent kite rest which the Pope takes in the question of the definitive security of the Papacy against revolu tionary attempts in Italy. " We are enabled to add that the French Go vernment has communicated its views in this respect to the Catholic Powers by a circular despatch of recent date." M. Dweny, the Minister of Public Instruction, in inaugurating the opening of an establishment for secondary instruction at Mont-de-Marsau, made an eloquent appeal in favour of the general educa tion of the people. M. Duruy, in these concise but lucid terms, explained the general principles upon which the Government acted in regard to public education. " Moral and religious instruction, French language and literature, history, geography, cyphering, bookkeeping—these were the common points of education which ought to be known by all. The son of the merchant, the son of the person en gaged in industry of any kind, and the son of the agriculturist might add, according to his want, the living languages, drawing, the practical application of mathematics, chemistry, and natural history, which of itself furnished the materials for all the useful arts and the most beautiful forms for the development of the plastic arts." A letter from Cherbourg, dated the 19th inst., says :--" Two ships of war, hoisting the flag of the United States of America, anchored yesterday in our roads. One is the ironclad ship Augusta, the other the far-famed Miantonomah. The two latter were last from Kiel, and there are now four Ame rican ships in our roads. The Miantonomah excites great curiosity. The officers are very courteous and explanatory to visitors. The vessel has two enor mous turrets of strange shape. Its formidable ar tillery is composed of four pieces, the cannon balls for which weigh 4641b5. One novelty respecting it is that, besides being cased with very heavy iron plates, it is protected by being almost entirely im mersed in the water. The officers say that their submarine habitation does not produce the least inconvenience. The Moniteur states that, according to its news from Vienna of Friday, the surrender of Venice and Venetia to Italy by Austria took place on that day under the most satisfactory circumstances. General Lebceuf, the representative of France, gave to the Venetian municipality the city which he had re ceived from the Austrian General Mcering. At the same moment Gen. Alemann, Governor of Venice, for the Emperor of Austria, quitted the city with his staff in the midst of the most respectful manifes tationa of the inhabitants. An hour afterwards the tricolored Italian flag was hoisted on two masts placed before the church of St- Marc. A salvo of 101 guns was fired, and this ceremony, accompanied by the enthusiastic cheers of the people, hailed the restoration of Venice to the kingdom of Italy. Gazette des Nobles, of Moscow, bewails the appear ance of cholera in that city in this aristocratic spirit. It says—" Hitherto, thanks to the visible protection of Providence, the cholera had hitherto only at tacked the lower classes. But now this terrible scourge has appeared among the bourgeoisie and even among the nobility." The cholera evidently has no respect for persons, at all events in Russia. The ex-Bishop of Marseilles, Monseigneur Patrice- Francois-Marie OlErnice, has just died. It was a very short time ago that his successor was installed. His infirmities compelled him to request that his successor should be appointed. The last day's races at Chantilly on Thursday were spoiled by the bad weather, but the running took place in the order announced. The Paris Particuliar, 3,000 f., was won by Due de Bourgogne. The Prix de la Loire (gentlemen riders), by La Fournie. The Prix de Verberie, by Little Lady. The Prix du Fay (300 f.), by Canotiere; Floren tine, 2 ; Gaulois, 3. This was the most important race of the day, from the high estimation of the horses engaged. It was very eagerly contested. The Prix de Chateau Laffitte, 4,000 f., was won by Grande Dame. The Prix de Bowye, 2,000 f., was won by Mdlle. de Vavoville. A man of great celebrity in his day, M. Leger, died on Thursday at Ville d'Avray, near Sevres, in his 90th year. He was only a tailor, but he was the tailor of great personages, of Napoleon the First, for instance. One day he remarked in a joking mood that General Kleber, at his death, owed him for a waistcoat which he made for him. M. Leger died very rich. For many years past, on the anni versary of his birthday he gave a grand fete, to which his friends and neighbours were invited. He also made presents to his servants on that day, and gave money to the poor. His Holiness Pope Pius IX., who h as a " hand open as day to melting charity," has, says the Malheur, "in his solicitude to assist all misery, charged the Apostolical Nuncio at Paris, Mon seigneur Chigi, to place the sum of 2,000 f. at the disposal of the commission appointed to receive sub scriptions for the sufferers by the inundations." In the Rue Laffitte, at the angle of the Rue de Provence, there is now in course of construction one of the most splendid hotels of which Paris can boast. " Thereby hangs a tale." The for tune of Whittington was made by a cat. Prussia dominates over Germany from the influence of a needle, and the founder of the great establish- ment of which I speak owes his fortune to a pin. In the time of the first Republic, M. Perregaux was at the head of Finanee. One morning a genteel, intelligent-looking young man came from his native village to seek his fortune in Paris, and with fear and timidity solicited a place as clerk in M. Perre gaux's office. The financial director was courteous to him, but being overwhelmed with such solicita tions he dismissed him without holding out any hope. The young man left with a heavy heart. As he crossed the court-yard he stooped. It was to pick up a pin. The Minister, who was sitting at the window of his cabinet, saw the act, and having previously a predilection in favour of the young man, he opened the window and called him back. The Minister thought the act, indicative of frugality and the sort of intelligence required in financial matters. The next day, therefore, the young man became a clerk in the office at 1200 f. a year. Ten years afterwards he was clerk in a bank, then a partner, and in process of time a Minister. As a Minister and financier one dynasty fell before him, and he was able to create a new dynasty. In one sense he swayed the destiny of France. This man was Jacques Laffitte, the founder of the great banking establishment, for which the house of which I speak is now'being built. lie was also the youth who picked up the pin as he left, with grief and disappointment, the office of the great financier of the first Republic. One hears of things " not worth a pin." The " frugal mind" of Jacques Laffitte was worth a pin. The weather to-day and yesterday has been warm and beautiful.

All the foreign Consuls in this city have offered their congratulations to Prince Charles upon his official recognition by the Porte as Hospodar of the Danubian Principalities. FRANCE. PARIS, Oct. 22. The Emperor, Empress, and the Prince Imperial arrived at St. Cloud last night. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, OCt. 22. The Union Company's steamer Roman, with the above mails, has arrived here. 11er dates are— Table Bay, 19th September ; St. Helena, 27th ; and Ascension, Ist October. She brings 58 pas sengers, including Sir Percy Douglas, Bart., Com mander-in-Chief at the Cape of Good Hope, and the two Misses Douglas ; Lieut. Byng, 99th Regi ment, A.D.C. ; Lieut.-Colonel Montague, 10th Regiment, from the Cape ; Capt. Hall, 13th Regi ment, from the Mauritius ; Capt. Beckford, R.N., Governor of Ascension, and family; and Capt. Elliot, R.N., and Mrs. Elliot, from Ascension. The cargo includes 5 boxes of pieces, 1,020 bales of wool, 3 bales of Angola hair, 865 bags of rice, 112 bags of coffee, 1,948 bags of copper ore, 67 bales of sheeps' skins, 1,349 bundles of ox hides, 6 cases of ostrich feathers, 6 cases of old copper, 3 casks and 18 cases of wines, 10 packages of seal skins, 57 tusks of ivory, 835 bundles of coiryarn, and 9 cases of sundries from Ceylon. The Roman experienced light southerly winds and calms to lat. 16 N., then a light northerly breeze to Madeira, and crossing the Bay 'of Biscay light northerly airs and a heavy westerly sea. At the Cape cattle stealing continued rife, espe cially in the frontier districts. It was, however, generally admitted that this crime was caused more from want of employment in the present depressed condition of the colony than in any actual fondness for such thefts on the part of the natives. As matters improved, generally, sheep and cattle steal ing will decline in proportion. The farmers, espe cially those in British Raffraria, were, however, inclined to take strong measures to protect their property independently of the Government and the armed police. In almost every division of the colony abundant rain had continued to fall. The drought was en tirely broken up, and the colonists were looking forward hopefully for a return of favourable seasons. The settlement of the Free State frontiers was being interfered with by the Basutos, and the land commissioners were unable to mark out the new farms without a considerable escort. They had encountered threatenings and warnings on every s ide. The Basutos were said to be starving, and a renewal of the war was feared. The aspect of frontier aflairs was otherwise pacific. The third session of the third Colonial Parliament was opened by Governor Wodehouse on September 16 New Government measures were announced in the form of three bills for the establishment of a new Government paper currency, for the revision of the customs import tariff, and for the imposition of an export duty. The harbour commissioners will require £50,000 more to complete the break water and docks, which may be expected to be ready for the reception of shipping by the end of next year. The mail steamer arrived out on Sept. 15, and the Cambrian on Sept. 17. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sunday.

RISE IN THE PRICE OF BITTER BEER.—A good deal of commotion has boon created among the licensed victuallers of the metropolis and other large towns by an announcement that has been wade, almost simultaneously, by the great brewers, Messrs. Allsopp, Bass, Ind and Coops, and other pale ale brewers, that from the Ist of November the price of that commodity, which has now almost become a necessary for the public, will be raised 6s. per barrel. The ostensible ground for this increase is the blight in the hops, and tho consequent increase in the price : but this would hardly appear to justify the course that has been taken. A similar proceeding was adopted by the brewers in 1860, when an additional charge of 6s. per barrel was added to the pale ale, but upon the strong representations of Iho trade the additional charge was withdrawn in the following year, and the former price of 60s. per barrel con tinued down to the present time, when it is, as above stated, again proposed to put it up at 665. per barrel. It is understood that the trade have made strong representa tions to the brewers upon the subject, and it is possible that this may have the effect of inducing them to alter their determination, Drury Lane Theatre. One of the greatest features in the programme issued by Mr. Chatterton, on his assuming the sole management and direction of Drury-lane Theatre, ! was the announcement that amongst the novelties in preparation was a new adaptation of Goethe's great work " Faust ;" and on Sturday the promise was fulfilled by its production ; a circumstance which drew together one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the National Theatre. Every stall had been let for more than a week in advance, and places in the stalls were, therefore, unobtainable at a premium of three or four times their ordinary price. The boxes were completely occupied ; the pit and galleries were filled to an overflow, and hundreds had to leave the theatre, unable to gain admission. So much for the audience. With respect to the great autumnal attraction " Faust," it must be almost as well known in England as it is in Germany. We have already had many versions of it produced at our principal theatres, the most notable amongst them being its representation at both of the Italian Operas and at the Princess's Theatre, whilst under the management of Mr. Charles Kean. In the present instance the version differs materially from those which have preceded it, as in the operas we had only a portion of the plot without the words of Goethe ; and in the drama the original words were very sparingly used by Mr. Boucicault. To Mr. Bayle Bernard, an author of great judgment and experience, was confided the work of adapting " Faust" for representation at Drury-lane Theatre, and thus he modestly explains his task : "In the first place, the circumstance that Faust' is a poem in two parts, and that it is the first part alone, containing the love storyof Margaret, that is known to the English public, serves to divest that portion of all that unity of plan and development of character which are essential to a play. In the next place, the character of Faust--being one of pure intellect, which only becomes emotional when it passes into sensuality--mustbe allowed to constitute no ordinary difficulty. As the abstract philosopher he would be unintelligible on the English stage ; and as the mere creature of animal desire he would be necessarily repulsive. His moral sense only awakens in his desire to betray Margaret, and dies oat when it should become strongest—on his learn ing how much she loves him. Goethe's aim, which was to show the struggle of good and evil in Faust's nature, is only completed in the second part, when age arrives and spiritual influences take their share in his conversion. Again, in the second part of the poem it is Margaret and not Faust who awakens the sympathies of the reader, and who it is manifest there fore must become the central interest of the drama. All the unity and sequence which are demanded by a play must, on the ground of the roused emo tions, refer to her fate rather than to his. These are reasons which convinced the adapter—whose task was limited to the opening portion—that the utmost he could do was to give a general idea of its contents, and find some principle of unity in the love and fate of the heroine. For tunately such a principle is supplied by Goethe himself. At the conclusion of the second part he makes the spirit of Margaret become the consolation of Faust, as well as one of the agencies in his moral restoration. This idea the adapter has employed in making the sufferings of Margaret awaken a peni tence in Faust, which ultimately redeems him from the power of his tempter. To carry out this scheme, it was found necessary to abridge considerably the philosophic and descriptive passages, which, how ever essential to the plan of the poem, would retard the action of the play—to transpose por tions of the text, as in giving to Mephistopheles the description of the city's holiday —to omit the birth of Margaret's child as creating a chasm in the action—and, lastly, by way of supplying con necting links and explanations, to make some ad ditions to the text, which formed the only draw back to the enjoyment of the task. No one can be more sensible than the adapter of how unworthy are any words of his to be repeated with those of Goethe, and how entirely their excuse must depend on the degree in which they serve to preserve and introduce the noble language of the poet. He trusts it will be considered some offset that they have enabled him to present entire the various scenes of Margaret— from her quitting the cathedral, and the growth of her love in Martha's garden, to the terrible penalty she pays in the misery and madness of her dungeon —the scene of Mephistopheles with the scholars, and also with Martha and Margaret—that of the roy sterers in the tavern cellar, and also of the witches' revel on the Brocken. In conclusion, he has only to say that stage necessities compelled him to throw his version into blank verse, and lose—even if he could have imitated—the wonderful variety of Goethe's rhythm ; that the musical illustrations have been chiefly selected from Spohr, as being considered in Germany Goethe's best interpreter ; and that the words of the songs and choruses are mostly taken from the second part of the poem." The version of Faust produced at Drury-lane is altered from the poem, but it is the nearest approach to the great original that has yet been per formed in England, and, therefore, the enthu siastic success it met with last night was an event that might almost have been looked upon before hand as a perfect certainty. After Spohr's splendid overture had been admirably performed by the band the curtain rose, and dis covered the philosopher in his study, as in Gounod's opera, and so the play went on, differing in action but little front the operatic . version. The great novelty, however, occurred in the fourth act, there it is we have one of Mr. Beverley's wonderful scenic productions " The summit of the Brocken," with the orgies of the Walpurgis Night. The effects L introduced here are extraordinary; witches of every size and shape creep, descend, arise from and run down the huge and ragged rocks in the pale moon light, and with their torches of many-coloured fires illuminate the scene, amidst which takes place a wild orgie that, taken as a spectacle, must be pro nounced one of the most effective ever put upon the stage. The part of Mephistopheles was performed by Mr. Phelps with the greatest excellence ; it was a perfect study from beginning to end, as not a single word lost its sarcasm and diabolical bonhommie, and not an attitude was taken that was not a study for an artist. Mr. Edmund Phelps as Faust wanted warmth and tenderness; yet, withal, hewentthrough the part with much ability. Mr. llarrison made a portly Valentine, and sang one of the many war songs composed by Weber. The other male parts are of little importance, but each one was well re presented. Mrs. Vezin, as Margaret, of course, acted with the utmost finish and grace ; and all that was wanted to make the impersonation perfect was a little more girlishness in the opening lines of her part ; however, it was a very chaste performance, the great beauties of it being in the garden and dungeon scenes. Miss Poole had a trifling part, but, with the assistance of a very beautiful song, it became one of the important features in the piece. The chorus and incidental ballets were well and effec tively performed—in fact, the whole thing was splen didly done from beginning to end. The scenery, by Mr. Beverley, is of remarkable beauty, the Grand Platz, Margaret's chamber, Margaret's garden, the city fountain, and the splen did closing tableau, each called forth the greatest applause. We must compliment Mr. Tully ou the great taste he has exercised in the selection of the music, and the excellent manner in which it was per formed. At the fall of the curtain the applause was uni versal; und although Mr. Chatterton, Mr. Phelps, and Mrs. Vezin had been called for at the close of each act, yet the audience demanded their reappear ance at the termination of the play in order to testify their delight and appreciation of the per formance. For Mr. Bayle Bernard we have nothing but the warmest praise for the admirable manner in which he has adapted the magnificent poem. He has per formed his task with the reverence of a poet and the taste and genius of a skilful dramatist and a refined scholar. The success that attended the representation on Saturday was extraordinary, and the fact is the more to be rejoiced at as Mr. Chatterton, in the production of the piece, has spared nothing that could tend to lighten the beauty of so great a work. That it will carry him on triumphantly until Christmas is quite certain. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. THE STRANGE DISCOVERY OF A LARGE QUANTITY OP JEWELLERY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN. MOSes Moses, a dealer in metal and miscellaneous articles, at 10, Gravel-lane, I.lounsditch, was brought up on re mand, on suspicion of having a large quantity of jewellery, &c., in his possession, knowing the same to have been feloniously obtained. The facts of the case are rather curious. It appeared that the prisoner missed a piece of cloth from his premises, and two men named Spencer and Peters were taken into custody on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery. In the meantime the police desired to inspect the prisoner's stores in Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, in order to ascertain by what means an entry had been effected, and there discovered a watch and some valuable jewellery im perfectly concealed under some sacks. The prisoner not giving a satisfactory account of how the property came into his possession, Police-c3nstable Moss took him into custody, charging him with having come by them impro perly. Several other articles of jewellery, elephants' tusks, Ste., were found concealed in sacks. There was no evidence to convict Peters and Spencer of the robbery of the cloth, and they were discharged on Monday. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Lewis, senior, of Ely-place, and was remanded till this day in order to en able Moss, who has charge of the case, to make inquiries respecting the ownership of the property discovered. The following evidence was adduced this morning be fore Mr. Alderman Finnis. Mr. David Samuel Farraday said he was a wholesale jeweller, in business at 37, Hatton-garden. One of the articles produced, a round turquoise ring, he could swear as belonging to his stock, as it was made to order. Hs believed the other articles, consisting of rings, brooches, gold pins, &c., were his property. The whole value of the articles, which he believed belonged to him, was £3OO, and they were in a leather bag, which one of the travellers of the firm lost after the 21st instant. The goods were safe on his premises a short time before they had been taken away by the traveller. The leather bag was extensively :advertised, but there was no clue discovered to it. In cross-examination by Mr., Lewis, the witness said that although he believed all the articles produced were his, still he did not wish to swear positively to anything but the turquoise ring in question. Mr. Wontner, junior, said he was instructed by llessrs. Joyce, lightermen, to prosecute the prisoner on a charge of having in his possession 17 elephants' tusks, their property. In July last they received an order to remove a largo quantity of tusks from a vessel lying at Horsleydown. The tusks were a very peculiar article, and the merchandise in them was confined to three or four brokers, so that the prisoner having them in his possession was prima facie evidence that he had come by them feloniously. The value of the tusks was about £l3O. Although they were broken up when they were found on the prisoner's premises, they were identified by having a B marked on them all, which was plainly visible, and corresponded with the same mark on the other tusks. Tho things were in a barge in the case of a man who unfortunately neglected his duty and left the barge, but the loss was discovered early the next morning. Ho believed he could not carry the case any further, but he would ask for a remand, in order to some further enquiries being made. Mr. Alfred William Joyce said he was a member of the firm of Joyce, brokers, lightermen, at 13, Water-lane, Tower-street. On the 26th July last ho re ceived an order from the St. Katherine Docks Company to unload some elephants' tusks from the Fairy Vision, which was lying at Horslydown. Seventy of these tusks were taken on board a barge, which was left in the care of a man named Redding, and ho had strict instructions not to leave the barge. On the 28th of July the tusks were missed. Joseph Redding proved t') having been left in charge of the barge, and to having neglected his duty, for which he was dismissed. There was no charge against him of being concerned in the robbery. Mr. James Hamilton Calder said that ho had charge of the ivory department at the London and St. Katherine's Docks, and remembered in July last a consignment of elephants' tusks had been received at the latter docks from Lisbon. Ho was unable to swear to the tusks in question being a part of that consignment. Mr. Lewis Peat, of the Jinn of Peat and Co., brokers, 11, Mincing-lane, gave evidence tending to identify the tusks as forming a portion of the consignment from Lisbon, and ho said that in addition to the letter B some of the tusk's amongst those discovered had, like the other parts of the stock, the meight marked on them. There were 13 vvilel tusks, and four others broken up in a clumsy manner, found on the premises of the prisoner, and he was positive as to those being the same as the remaining portion of the ele phant tusks. The purchasers of these tusks were regular dealers, and most respectable persons. They did not find their way into the market like other articles. Cross-examined—These tusks had certainly been in his possession, and he could not say whether these tusks formed a portion of any other shipment; but he was quite satisfied that they were the same as those consigne d through the Fairy Vision. Another case was then entered into relative to some lea d which was found on the prisoner's premises, and after soma evidence the hearing of the case was adjourned. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE BOY NUISANCE IN ST. JAMES'S.—John Carrion 3 lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly con duct. Police-constable Dowsdwell said that about 11 o'clock last night ho was in duty in Berwick-street, St. James's, when he saw a number of boys fighting amongst them the prisoner and another, who were engaged fighting. Il e told the prisoner that if he did not desist he should loch him up, cued as he required to do so he took him into cus" tody. Inspector Harrison said that some gentleman residing in the street was in court, and wished to speak of the nuisance. Mr. James Aldous, pawnbroker, of No. G 7, Berwiel‘" street, said that about 20 lads and as many girls were ie the habit of congregating opposite his house from two ie the afternoon till 12 at night, lounging about and behav ing in a most disorderly manner, their language was et the most obscene description, respectable females were / 0 " stilted by them, and if they were spoken to stones wer ° thrown at the persons interfering with them, or they wer° grossly abused. Inspector Harrison said that other persons were le attendance to speak in similar terms to Mr Aldous. 11° (the inspector) was obliged to employ police in plain clothe s to try and abate the nuisance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that boys were becoming the plague of the town. Ile should order the prisoner to find one ball in £5 to keep the peace for a month. David Mar, a lad, was charged with playing at pitch and toss in Dean-street, Soho, yesterday, near St. Ann's Churclit during divine service. The case was proved by Police-constable 42 C. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that lads like the prisoner had WO leniently dealt with too long, and it now became neces" sary to put the law in force; the prisoner, therefore, would have to pay 40s. or a month. THAMES. HITTING A MAN BY MISTAKE.—AIfred Price, a young man employed on board a river steamer, was brough t before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Henry Moss, costermonger, of No. 2, Silfes-place, Bromley. The complainant, who had two black eyes and a bruise d nose, said he was packing up his things in High-stre et, Poplar, on Saturday night, when the prisoner came 11 P, and claimed a long wooden board, on which his goods lied been placed, and said " That is mine." He replied " 1 "' master ; it has called, me owner for a good many yea r ` and I can't part with it." Tho prisoner immediately struck him a violent blow• on the nose and stunned nie l i for a minute or two. Ho bled very copiously indeed, and found on Sunday morning two black eyes. The prisoner, whose left arm was in a sling, said he 'W e t re t urn ing from the Hospital, where his arm had been Put into splints and bandaged, when he met with the eceil plainant, and ho mistook him for an old enemy of his arid a struck him. He was very sorry, indeed, for what he had done. He drunk a little too much on Saturday. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a very cruel a ssault upon an unoffending man and without any prOT°' cation. He could not admit the excuse made by the pri soner, and committed him to prison and to hard labour fo r 14 days. ATtißY.—Susan Murphy was brought before Mr. Pag et ' charged with assaulting and wounding Ann Dascs ei3l whose head was enveloped in an hospital bandage. The parties are both natives of Ireland, and were in a most infamous den in Palmer's-folly, Ratcliff OigPa way. They quarrelled yesterday, and exchanged a g e° a many vituperative epithets. The prisoner at last took jug out of a washing basin and broke the plaster CO t ° ghe the head of O'Connell, and the jug at the same time. then removed the basin from its place and struck Dtov e°- a on the head with it, inflicting a grievous wound e l/ t breaking the basin into many pieces. The complainellis lost a large quantity of blood, and was taken to the Lond e Hospital, where her wound was dressed. Mr. Paget—lt is quite necessary for me to repress out° rages of this description. If women of your class will in o dulge in such very savage assaults in your quarrels, andl dangerous weapons, they must be severely punished• d sentence the prisoner to be imprisoned for two monthoae kept to hard labour. HORSEMONGER-LANE GAOL.—On Saturday 0 011 ; in Mr. Registrar Roche visited Horsemonger-lane gfi" for the purpose of releasing debtors for whose c ontiaol' i m p r i so nment there does not appear to be suffi cient caus e ; Since the act of Parliament came into operation i,be e such powers upon the Court of Bankruptcy most a ro mantic cases of lengthened imprisonment have been Of rid of, and there are now no investigations which admit any sensational description. Mr. Roche minutely jeci u— g e ril into all the cases, and ordered many unfortunate pri6()/1- to be discharged, Coin , ince: a la' and gen at vwhi bay sort Me/ 1 I quie Con accc land Ban that Not Per oft: not Jan met She of ( dial Mil to-1 the rej sat tio of P,
