" 'l* Min it Ittrit LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1848. Well !—the Imperial bubble has burst ! The car of glory which was to have wafted Prince Louis INADOLSON across the Channel, and to have conveyed him—the ENOCH of military renown !—to the resus citated pomps of the Tuileries, has turned out to be veriest gewgaw that ever rolled over the sawdust At Astley's or Franconi's. We wanted only the ghost of GRIMALDI and the perpetual youth of Wm- Dicositm to render the illusion complete. After the ivieident of Tuesday, the pop• guns at Boulogne and the two carpet bags at Folkestone are nothing—they sink into the insignificance of com- Arative sobriety—they soar, by contrast, into a ,:rt of heroism, at once sublime and classic. Cer the ex-prisoner of Ham, to say the very least has the happiest knack possible at rendering 611k:11101s. He always, somehow, manages 4.- ; drop in at moments, of all others, the most miser ifnly thopportune. Like the naughty little boy whose biography is en s h r i ned in the introduction to the Child's Spelling-book," he is invariably, upon d every '..ccasion, and under a ll c i rcumstances • Ceir ! He seems to emu l ate the cond2t o a f y y Mister after Sicnoi4s Twiuu—of wh om our readers may learn gAnel yhat in one of the best farces that ever w waitteu, thanies to the comic fancy o f Iticuann JorEess tie comedian — coming in, as he dues in eve r y i nstance ' eternally toe laic fur dinner. OLily glance at the records of the past fortnight, in proof of this absurd airection for contretemps. Here was Paris in a fever of expectation—the National Assembly throbbing in its every pulse with terror—General CAVAIGNAC half distracted with anxieties—the RA d Republicans mut tering in their dens of conspiracy—regiments of the Garde Mobile sent out of the capital, through fear of their Bonapartist tendencies—rumours in every 9uartier of the soldiers having risen in their respective barracks to the old cry of Vive l'Empereur !—whispers on every lip of the approaching doom of the Republic, and dreams of the speedy proclamation of NAPOLEON 111., by the grace of GOD, and the will of the people, Emperor of the French. If there was little of the romance of 1815, there was much of its forebodings. If there was an equal dread of an imperial conspiracy, there was hardly any tendency towards its accomplishment. If the early flowers of spring could not, as of old, bloom in the bosoms of the fair accomplices, if the eagles and the tricolours were not secreted in the cavities of the regimental drums, if Queen HORTENSE was no longer there, in the radiance of her beauty, to cast a halo over the darkness of the preparations—it was well-known that there was a live Princess in Paris, who had sent to her upholsterer to have her best bedroom re-furnished for the reception of her cousin, the Adventurer. Well, all these tokens of excitement are reiterated—day after day crowds of the Parisians assemble in the neighbourhood of the National Assembly—they have heard that the Prince is about to make his appearance before the representatives—they waylay every carriage, they cluster round every horseman, they scrutinize every foot-passenger in hopes of seeing the man whose name is in every mouth, and who, if he had appeared then, would have appeared at least invested with a shadow of dignity such as might be compatiable with the historical associations of his illustrious lineage. He would have been greeted either with the awe of silence or with the enthusiasm of acclamations. In either case he would have saved himself from the damning influences of the ridiculous. As it is, he tarries, and tarries, and tarries, until expectation is exhausted. Every one has gone homewards; the city is humming with the routine of its daily occu pations, and suddenly Citizen Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE (pruned of all his imperial honours, and stripped of the prestige of so many glorious souvenirs,) stalks through a side-door of the National Assembly and sits down at the elbow of his old schoolmaster. The effect is little less than absolutely deplorable flatter than the flattest of all flat beer. "0, for an hour of old blind DAN DOLO !" said the bard, who was half a Venetian. " 0, for an hour of any one else than Prince Louis NAPOLEON !" say we, in the painful sense of his in significance. It is positively wonderful to us how a man who can think so soundly, and write so nobly, as the son of Louis, King of Holland, can act so fool ishly, so frivolously, so ridiculously, as he has done, again and again. As the author of one of the finest military works of the century, he has proved himself worthy of his immortal name—but as a man who seems to be destined to travesty all the glorious incidents of the Empire, he is showing himself to be a mannikin clad in the panoply of a giant, an ass covered with the skin of a lion, a dwarf armed with the helm, and the greaves, and the breastplate of a GOLIATH. The most charitable construction which can be put upon his conduct is, that the intellectual disease which .; rendered his father a King of virtuous inefficiency is hereditary. Let France view these incidents correctly, and she will never disgrace the records of her new Constitution by electing the Citizen Louis NAPO LEON BONAPARTE as the first President of the Re public. Preparation for war is the preservation of peace. This is a truth which we beg to offer to the consider ation of Mr. COBDEN and Mr. STURGE, and the members of the Peace Congress generally. It is a sentiment which, had we been in the place of the [lon. Member for the West Riding when the three propositions for the Congress were submitted to his consideration, we should have begged leave to substi tute for the startling announcement conveyed in pro sition 3—" To recommend, as a matter of primary importance, general disarmament to the several Go vernments of Christendom." To recommend the several Governments of Europe to lay aside their arms, and this, too, as a matter of primary importance This recommendation, gravely uttered and seriously advocated though it be, falls upon our ears like some fragment of the " Arabian N ights," or a paragraph of the " Utopia," so extraordinary is it, and so entirely unsuitable to present times and circumstances. Were it not that we are well aware how marvellous delusions haunt the brains and warp the judgments of the enthusiasts in any cause, were it not for this con vic!ion we should be inclined either to doubt the sanity of those who put forth such a recommendation, or else to believe that they themselves are incredulous of the sanity of those whom they address. But, as it is, we believe them to be enthusiasts—enthusiasts in a good cause—and consequently we at once understand the method of their madness, and make due allow ance for i:s vagaries. They are enthusiasts in a good cause, in a most holy cause—the cause of universal peace—a cause in which we beg to assure them they are not one jot more interested than ourselves, only we happen to differ from them in their mode of pro gression. We, too, are no less anxious than Mr. COBDLN for the advent of the day— " When angry lances into scythes shall bend, And the broad falchion in a ploughshare end;" or, according to the yet happier definition of a more modern poet, for the day— " When man to man the world o'er Shall brothers be and a' that." We are solicitous for the advent of such a day, and what is more, we believe that such a day will arrive —it will arrive when civilization shall have consum• mated her yet but half-accomplished task. We will even go a step further, hand-in-hand with Mr. ConcEN, and admit that the Peace Society is ani mated with laudable motives, and may, perhaps, be productive of beneficial results; but hero we must part company. We cannot concur with the champion of free trade, in approving the propositions to be submitted to the Peace Congress at their meeting at Brussels. The third of these propositions, which we have already quoted, excites our unmingled astonish- ment, an astonishment which is considerably increased by the " fact" that a man of Mr. COBDEN'S practical sense should listen to it calmly and approvingly. True, Mr. ConnEN brings to the support of his cause the fundamental truths of Christianity. He may say with justice, that he is "contending for a principle based upon truth, and sanctioned by the law of GoD," but that fact in no wise enforces the "recommenda tion." Peace is enjoined in the Gospel, it is true, and in the same way murder and stealing are positively forbidden ; but, because an anathema is placed upon those crimes, would Mr. STURGE or Mr. COBDEN be inclined to leave their doors without a fastening or their money without a lock ? Not so ; they admit the enormity of the crime, but they are also aware of the depravity of human hearts, and therefore they deem it right and necessary to take all possible precautions. In the same way, say we, let us extol the blessings and enforce the duty of peace, but at the same time let us take measures to preserve it and ourselves. To be prepared for war is the true way to maintain peace, that is in present times and circumstances. Not so ! exclaims the Peace Congress, and not so I • re-echoes Mr. COBDEN. Let us lay aside our arms. Let the good and the peaceably-disposed (for only such will obey the summons) lay aside their arms, and put themselves and their cause in the hands of the evil-disposed. Let the Governments of Christen dom lay aside their arms, and let anarchy and am. bition triumph. But, impressed as we are with a sense of the , impracticable and pernicious nature of this, their proposition, in arguing against it we seem to be fulfilling an ungracious task. We seem to be arguing against a cause of which we are our selves warm advocates. But we oppose not the cause but its misjudging friends—its misjudging friends— NO -10, stepping across that indispensable boundary which separates such wide extremes, plunge from the sublime to the ridiculous, and enunciate maxims of heavenly wisdom in a tone which excites for them only scorn and derision. It is not in this way that universal peace must be promoted. To our thinking the Anti : Corn-law League, which abolished mono- poly znd extended commerce, did more, infinitely more, towards the propagation of peace than will ever be accomplished by the Peace Congress, and so it will be to the end of the chapter. As Necessity is the mother of Invention, so is Commerce the parent of Peace. By international commerce, nations become, as we have so often been tauntingly told, " dependent upon foreigners." May commerce extend, say we, until all nations be so dependent upon each other that peace becomes not a golden dream, hut an absolute essential. At the time when Mr. ROWLAND HILL first pro posed his plan of penny postage, he intended it only as one part of a great scheme of postal reform, which, if adopted in its totality, would have increased the revenue while it diminished the rate of postage. That Prince of Bunglers, LOIA:MONTEAOLE (tbe most miserably inefficient financier that ever mismanaged the exchequer of a country, in comparison with whom Sir CHARLES WOOD is a paragon of excellence, and Lord BEXLEY an actual approach to perfection) adopted one portion of the plan only, and that with a very bad grace, and left the subject of reform in the management of the Post-office quite untouched. The subject was of course unpalatable to the Post office authorities, and was consequently tabooed, and it was not until the Marquis of CLANRICARDE be came Postmaster-General, and re-instated Mr. Row- LAND HILL in his former position, that the subject of general Post office improvement stood any chance of being regarded. Although not entertained by the higher Post-office authorities, there were some in a lower official position who felt convinced that the consideration of the subject of Post-office improvement could not be much longer delayed, and who devoted themselves to the study of the subject. Amongst these the most diligent and the most successful has been Mr. WILLIAM JAMES, Messenger in the Inland Office, whose recently published "Suggestions for the General Improvement of the Post-office," should be attentively studied by every postal reformer. The improvements in management, which he therein suggests, would, if carried out, not only give satisfaction to the public, but would benefit many of the employes of the Post-office, and injure none. Mr. JAMBS proposes to obtain his objects by a consolidation of the General Post and the London District Post-offices, and by a consolidation of the Foreign and Ship Letter Post-offices, and fortunately Mr. JAMES is enabled, from his position and his intimate acquaintance with Post-office business, to meet his adversaries (if adversaries he should have) upon details, which is generally the strong ground of the opponents of administrative reform. We hope, however, that there is every reason for believing that the sugges tions of Mr. W. JAMES will be adopted. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE, that indefatigable shower up of Post office abuses, recommended the suggestions to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, as " well worthy" his Lord ship's attention. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE bears his testimony to " the zeal with which Mr. JAmes has devoted himself to the study of postal affairs, and to the good character which he bears in his depart ment," and Mr. ROWLAND HILL considers that the suggestions evince "great industry and considerable talent and knowledge of the subject." Under these circumstances we trust the day is not far distant when the public will enjoy the advantages which must accrue to them from the adoption of these sug gestions, and when Mr. JAMES will reap the well merited reward of his labours. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following official para graph : " Several journals have published the following para graph:—'The French Government has sent orders to our diplomatic agents at Naples, and to our navy, to put a stop to the hostilities between Sicily and the Neapolitan Government.' This note is incorrect, in so far as it gives room for the supposition that the French Govern ment could have given, indirectly, orders as well to Sicily as to the Neapolitan Government. The Republic could not interfere in such a case, excepting in the name of humanity." The Presse gives the following as the substance of the reply of the Austrian Government to the offer of mediation by England and France in the affairs of Italy The : note," says the Presse, " establishes three prin cipal points, viz.:-- " That the war undertaken by King Charles Albert against Austria, not being justifiable by any principle of international law, cannot establish in favour of the Crown of Sardinia the least pretension over any part of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. "2. That Austria, in maintaing herself intact in possession of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, is far from pursuing territorial aggrandizement, and claims the accomplishment of the guarantees established in her favour by the seven Powers who signed the final act of Vienna, guarantees which find a new support in the right of conquest, since Marshal Radetzky, in driving the Sardinian army beyond the Tessino, re-established, in tact, the strict Attu quo, such as it was before the war, and such as it has been taken as the basis of the armis tice concluded at Milan, on the 9th of August last, be tween the two belligerent powers. " 3. That the mediation offered by France and Eng land cannot, in any case, have for its object to alter the system of the political equilibrium of Europe without the co-operation of the Powers which have founded and guaranteed it. " Tr,is being laid down, Austria, while she renews in the most formal manner her reserves as regards the pos session of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, proposes to convoke a general Congress, at which, by a common accord between all the Powers of Europe, the most pro. per measures shall be concerted on the one hand to in sure the national and independent administration of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom ; and, on the other hand, to consolidate in a durable manner the tranquillity of the Peninsula beyond the Appenines. Without laying down in a precise manner her ideas on this point, Austria ap peers to wish to propose to the Congress to attach Lom bardy and Venice to the Imperial Crown, by bonds simi lar to those which, in the original intention of the Em peror Alexander, were to have united the Grand Duchy of Warsaw to the sceptre of Russia—that is to say, by the bonds of its own constitution." The Presse adds that it is proposed that the Con gress should meet at Innapruck, and that this note has been communicated not only to France and England, but to Russia and all the other Powers which were parties to the Treaty of Vienna. The trial of Colonel CONSTANTINE - WAS brought to a conclusion on Tuesday. He was found guilty of having taken part in the insurrection of June, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, to he cashiered from the army, and to be declared incapable of service in the State, either in a military or civil capacity. Among the few " Red Republicans " who, in the National Assembly on Tuesday, voted against autho rizing the prosecution against RASPAIL for his connexion with the affair of the 15th of May, was M. LEDRU ROLLIN. He was saluted with cries of " Oh, oh !" from all parts of the Assembly, and seemed somewhat disconcerted at his reception. The general debate on the 20th article of the Con stitution was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday by a speech from M. DUPIN. The consideration of the amendment of M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE in favour of two Chambers will be the next subject for discussion. The Prince and Princess of CAPUA have arrived at Marseilles. In the National Assembly, yesterday, the discus sion was commenced on the amendment of M. Rovax to the 20th article of the Constitution. The object of this amendment is to suppress the article as origi nally proposed, and to substitute for it another, esta blishing two Legislative Cha m b ers . M. DE LAMAR: TINE opposed the amendment, and eloquently con tended in favour of one Legislative Chamber. M. ODILLON BARROT rose to reply to him, and was speak ing when the post left. The Committee on the Constitution have deter mined to postpone the 28th article, relative to the mode in which the elections of representatives is to be conducted, and to bring it forward as an organic law. BOURSE-PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27. - - - THREE O'CLOCR. — The Bourse was exceedingly agi tated to-day, first, by the news brought by the London papers, that the house of Devaux and Company had undertaken to raise a loan in London for the French Government; secondly,by a report that the Government party and the Moderates in the Assembly had come to an understanding by which General Cavaignac was to be elected President of the Republic for two years; and in the third place, by the incident of M. Louis Napo leon Bonaparte having quietly taken his seat in the Assembly, which is considered favourable to public tranquillity. Both Rentes and Shares continued firm during the whole day, and after two o'clock the demand for Rentes was very brisk, and a great deal of busi ness was done. The Railway Shares were also firm. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have risen 30c., and Five per Cents. have risen 75c.; the Loan has risen 85c.

The Glanzer Publico states that on the 16th CABRERA, at the head of 1,000 men, entered the populous city of Castellon de Ampurion, in Catalonia. He demolished all the fortifications of the place, seized all the horses, and after a sojourn of six hours he left, taking with him three municipal councillors as hostages for the payment of the contribution which he imposed on the city, and leaving a notice that he would punish with death any mason or workman who should assist in rebuilding the forti6cations. The Carlist band of Gammedi have succeeded in surprising the city of Caspe, where they seized the public treasury. The Gaveta contains the following proclamation from General BERTON : " Don Manuel Breton, Conde Ribay Picamoxons, Visconde de Val de Salas, Lieutenant-General of the Army, and Captain-General of New Castile, &c. " Considering the peculiar Mate in which the pro vinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo are at present, and the necessity of invigorating the action of the military authority, in order to put an end to the evils produced by the bands of robbers, who, sheltered by the inequali ties of their mountains, sow alarm and agitation among the pacific people, whom they threaten with their lawless proceedings, I have decreed as follows: " Art. 1. The provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo are declared under martial law. " Art. 2. The authorities of the different branches of the State shall continue in the exercise of their functions, though dependent on the military authority. " Art. 3. The Brigadier Dun Jw.i. Maria Sanz, Com mander-in- Chief of the province of Ciudad Real, who commands the forces of operations, remains charred with the execution of this decree, and to dictate the pro visions requisite for producing the desired effect.

The insurgents havo torn up the rail s b e t ween Darmstadt and Weinheim, and two l ocomo ti ves an d some empty carriages have in consequence been pre cipitated off an embankment and smashed to atoms. Some skirmishing took place between the insurgents, and the troops on the night of the 24th at Berken heim. PRUSSIA. The new Ministry is very unpopular, and an emeute is expected to break out In Berlin. The peasantry in the country have risen. On the 19th they attacked and nearly demolished the château of Count LTNAR, near Lubbenau. A letter from Cologne of the 26th says— " All this day great excitement has prevailed in Cologne, in consequence of the arrest of three indi viduals charged, it is said, with being concerned in a plot for bringing about a republican movement. One of the prisoners (Herr Wachter), a captain in the civic guard, was rescued by a crowd of hastily-assembled persons from the hands of the gendarmes. Another popular orator (Herr Mole) was also arrested this morning; but the six gendarmes who captured him in his house were obliged t o l et hi m go and ma k e a pre cipitate flight. About eleven, A.M., a number of lads, who attempted to erect a barricade near the arsenal, were taken prisoners by the military, who loaded their guns in the presence of the crowd. An open-air meeting was held this evening in the Alien market, notwithstand ing the proclamation of the police prohibiting it. All the windows of the house of the Director of Police, and in the police-office itself, had been previously destroyed by a tumultuous assemblage. About seven, P.M., the mili tary took possession of the main squares. The majority of the civic guard have resolved, it is said, not to take part against the people, should a collision occur. All the gates of the city are guarded by soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter, the authorities fearing that numerous peasants will arrive to take part in the insurrection. "HALF-PAST EIGH T , P. M. —M a tt e rs l oo k threatening; shots are heard in different directions." Verbal reports from Berlin up to the 23d state, that public peace has in nowise been interrupted there.—Hamburgh Boreenhaile, Sept. 23. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. The Hungarian generaITELEKY has turned traitor. After purposely permitting JELLACHICH and his Croats to get possession of several strongholds, he openly joined the BANN, pleading that his allegiance to Austria compelled him to do so. The traitor is now in Vienna. VIENNA, SETT. 21.—A courier arrived last night at the Hungarian Ministry in this capital, bringing the intelligence of the taking of the entrenched en campment of the insurgents at St. Thomas. Rumours, however, are afloat to-day which do not confirm that intelligence. Equally little credit can be given to the report which was circulated here yesterday, that the Hungarians and Croat armies have had an engage ment at Wesseprom, since it is known for a fact that the Bann JELLACNICH is still in Komoran. SCHLES WIG-HOLS LEIN. RENDSBURG, SEPT. 23.--The Provisional Govern ment has issued a protest against the appointment by the King of DENMARK. of COMA MOLKE, JOHANNSEN, and liAissEN, as a royal immediate Commission for the general government of the Duchies of Schleswig- Holstein, and call upon all their fellow-burghers to join in protesting against this measure, but at the same time not to be tempted to take any illegal steps against those persons. This protest is dated Sept. 22, and is signed by BESLER, REVRNTLOW, and SCHMIDT. The Provisional Government has likewise addressed a circular to all the police authorities of Schleswig- Holstein, informing the m of the appointment of MOLKE, J O HANNSEN, and HANSEN, and commanding them to take the above-named persons into custody, so soon as they shall set foot in their respective dis tricts, and forthwith to inform the Provisional Go vernment of the same. KIEL, SEPT. 23.—Simultaneously with the above measure of the Provisional. Government, the Danish Immediate Commiss ion addres sed a letter to the Assembly and to the P rovisional Government, in which, without recognising its legality, it is com man d e d im mediately to dissolve. The Assembly, also, has unanimously protested against the inauguration of the new Provisional Government. RUSSIA.

EXTENSIVE Ftaa.l (Tins DAY.)--NARROW Es- CAPE OF TEN PERSONS.—A few minutes before three o'clock this morning police constable 126 E, while on duty in King-street, Holborn, discovered the lower part of the Angel and Trumpet public- house on fire. He in stantly sprung his rattle, assistance was obtained, and no time lost in sending for the Brigade and West of Eng land engines, which shortly arrived, before which the Royal Society fire.eseape had been the means of re scuin g the family from th e upper w i n d ows . Fortunately on the arrival of the e ng i nes a goo d sup ply o f water was ob tained, and the flames were subdued, but not until the bar, bar-parlour, and the stock of the house were de stroyed. Mr. Cohan, the landlord, could not acco unt for the fire, but he is amply insured in the Licensed Vic tuallers' Company. But for the timely assistance ren dered the inmates must have perished, such was the dif ficulty of escape. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean commenced a short engagement at the Brighton Theatre on Monday last, in the Wif e's Secr e t, upon wh i ch occas i o n the house was crowded to ex cess . M r.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 4,500 were American at 34d. to 6d.—ln Railway Shares there was very little done, and prices were almost invariably on the decline. The accounts received from the continent this morn ing state that business was dull in various places, but at Marseilles there had been some activity in sugar and similar products. At Amsterdam the exchange on London was 11 19. Accounts from Dutch East India, dated Batavia, the 26th of July, advise us of all being quiet there, though it renewal of the war was expected. It is stated to us that " The advices from Cunac, both , public and private, still continue to narrate the unset tled state of things commercial and social. The Government, if such a term can with propriety be applied to the gehtlemen now holding office, and swaying the destiny of this most important and valu able portion of the British possessions, seemed deter mined not only to carry extraordinary measures, and exhibit utter incapacity to conduct public business, but are resolved to convince the Governor-General that he is not to play first fiddle, but to moderate his tone and pretensions to a very low key, and one degrading to the representative of our Lady the Queen, who would most indignantly de nounce a Minister daring to express a Nish that her Majesty should violate a written promise. But it ap pears by a correspondence published in the Montreal Gazttle, of the 2d instant, that Lord Elgin has shown such a want of firmness, and of the dignity due not only to his high position but to himself as a gentleman, that he has, at the instance of his constitutional advisers, with drawn a 'w ritten appointment without a shadow of grounds. It appears that on the 10th January, 1848, E. A. Meredith, assistant-secretary, wrote an official letter to Mr. P. Stewart, appointing him Sheriff of the Eustace dis trict, to which situation he was highly recommended by all the influential persons of the country, to whom his qualifications and fitness for the appointment were known, as he had discharged the duty of Deputy-Sheriff for many years. The appointment is accepted; he gives the necessary bonds and securities, enters upon his duties; but what follows? On the 21st of March he re ceives a letter from Mr. Sullivan, the Provincial Secretary, cancelling the appointment, and stating, lam com manded by his Excellency to inform you that, under present circumstances, his Excellency has come to the conclusion that the public service requires the appoint ment of another gentleman, instead of yourself, to the office in question. g• In another letter from the secretary (for the corre• spondence is very long) he states " that nothing dero gatory to your character was the cause of the change in the appointment." It appears that the appointment was cancelled without reason, to make room for the friend of one of the Ministers ! It is quite evident, from the present state of things, that a man of more stern mettle must succeed Lord El gin, and that quickly. Commercial affairs are bad, and political excitement is on the increase." These are the sentiments of a private writer, and as such we give them. The determination of the Bank of England proprie tary not to divide more than the current profits was announced yesterday afternoon after the ballot, and gives satisfaction generally, although the question of the " Rest" will, no doubt, be hereafter mooted, The dullness of business in Public Securities has at length produced an impression, and prices are lower.

Now the work of decoration has been carried still further, and a new principle has been adopted for the various ornamental works. Mr, Wyatt, who made the designs which Mr. Sang has executed, has taken his idea from the temporary theatres erected in the royal gardens of France during the reigns of Louis XIV. and his successor. The ground of the dome is an azure, which deepens towards the centre, and is re lieved by a light piece of trellis work, ranged in arches, within which Cupids are swinging, while birds of varied plumage add to the gaiety of the picture. The panels of the boxes are of a buff colour, and the fes toons, scrolls, and medallions with which these are adorned, are quite in keeping with the dome. The light aspect of the house is brought out in strong con trast with the deep crimson interior of the boxes, which forms as it were the ground-work to the whole. The warm glow which is thus produced is again re• lieved by the light green of the entrances, and pleasing sensation is produced by the transition from one extreme to the other on entering or quitting the boxes. The hangings of the private boxes are of em broidered muslin, lined with amber Persian, on the side towards the stage, and of richly printed lama on the side opposite, the whole being surmounted with bullion fringe. The curtain, by Messrs. Pitt and Johnstone, represents a scene of the p e ri o d f rom w hich the general idea of the decorations is taken— a pro menade in which the courtiers of the "Grand MO narque" are assembled after the termination of one of the fashionable theatrical performances. A solid im provement in the theatre should not pass unnoticed. The stairs which lead to the boxes are no longer of wood, covered with heel-tripping matting, but are of Llangollen slate ; and the stairs of the lower pri vate boxes, on one s id e , are o f th e same material. This new staircase, which leads also to the stalls, is very neatly fitted up, and is much more commodious than the narrow winding staircase for which it is substituted. The seats of the boxes in the dress circle have all backs to them, and (a great improve ment, for which every frequenter of the theatre will be thankful) every effort has been made, and, judging from last night, we should say successfully m ade to secure a thorough ventilation. The lobbies hoe been painted and decorated, and are lighted by chan deliers. The s t age i s new, an d a new c h an d e lier of f o increased light-giving p ower i s suspen d e d from the dome. The ent er t a i nments last evening were Ilarr h s Home, and G o i ng t o th e D er b y.

After a somewhat lengthened interregnum, the legitimate drama r enewe d it s sw ay here last evening, with Mr. Phelps as P r i me Minister. The house has been thoroughly cleansed and redecorated during the recess, and was filled in every part immediately after the doors were opened. The play selected for the opening was Co riolanus, carefully, effectively, classically got np, and acted with an evenness of excellence which made the illusion complete, and kept up the interest with out flagging until the final fall of the curtain. Air. Phelps' Coriolanus is a most careful performance, wanting, perhaps, in the massive dignity which one associates with the character of the Roman patrician, but having all the actor's peculiar ex cellencies, and eliciting loud and general , applause. Mr. A. Younge made an excellent Menenius; and. the other male characters were all above mediocrity. Of the female characters, Volumnia was personated by Miss Glynn, a pupil, as we understood, of Mr. Charles Kemble, who sat looking as well as his best friends could wish him in one of the lower boxes. The lady is pleasing in face and figure, and a good drill, but her voice is disagreeable, and her attitudes, when not awkward, too artificial to be pleasing. Miss Cooper did the little she had to do in Virgilia effec tively. The groupings of the crowds of citizens and soldiers were admirably managed, and Mr. Scharf, as a mob leader, was really great. The scenery was, as it always is at this theatre, excellent. This revival of Coriolanus is "a hit." SONNET TO ALPHONSE DE LA- MAR TINE. 33Y THE AUTHOR OF " ORION." (From the Atlas.) Greatest of elements is human blood; Nor fire, nor air, the teeming earth and ocean, Contain such wonders: on the vital flood, That holds humanity in constant motion, Thoughts, passions, actions flout for evermore; Affections, hopes—all our life's naked store. How hest thou saved God's sacred gift to man From fratricidal waste; how hest thou shone In lofty brightness, calm above the jar; A statesman, proof against each vulgar stone; A poet, worthy of the Spartan van; A patriot, who with noble sseal had cast His heurt into the fire,—henceforth a star Enshrined between the future and the past.

DEATH OF WILLIAM SCOTT, THE CELEBRATED JocxEir.—William Scott, so well known, and so univer sally admired as a jockey, closed his earthly career at• his residence Highfield-house, near Malton, in York shire, on Tuesday the 26th instant, in the fifty-first year of his age. He had for a considerable time been an ailing man, although his death was somewhat sudden at last. His constitution, originally strong, had been repeatedly broken in upon, and he died, com.- paratively speaking, the mere shrimp of a man. He was a bold, undaunted horseman, whether on the course or across the country, where he rode to hounds on all occasions. He commenced his career on the pigskin very early, b u t i t was no t un til he won the great St. Leger on J ac k Spi ggo t, in 1821 , _ t h at he was fairly looked up t o as th e N or th e rn Star, h verywassi- fearless in a s into the ditch rode the old ones out. ruck of horses, nor did his riding E him one run any risk Co get the less resolute ; finish wo u ld n,and come what wo u ld, b y good place to fin Bill would have th e rail - to the dislocation of his collar- bone, Epiru s eru jot h hook or by crook , our in s at rode,his time, ni ne wieners, D onc aster. of the Great Saint Leger, being but one less than double n umber of any other jockey upon re the record. He also bestrode four Derby victors, viz., St. G il es , Mucdig, Attila, and Cotherstone. He married so mewhere about 1836 the only daughter of Mr. Richardson, of Beverley, in Yorkshire, by whom he had several children, two of which survive him, a son and a daughter, who, thanks to ' the care Williamnviodtekdefpotr.racerwasonc e b a e e t n h r i s f o ty a b n u d t • and watchful ness o f the grandfather, are 'well pro sw ou have d s h w ad ith h a e string of that commodity, one single year of ill-luck will drain even the best• filled coffers. Ilighfield.house, where he drew his last breath, stands in a beautiful situa tion, about half a mile from Whitewall-house, the resi dence of his brother John. His last resting-place will be at Meaux, where he will be buried on Wednesday next.—Peace to his manes. POCKET -PICKIN G IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.---Two " sH ells" from Manchester, together with a companion of more common-place exterior, were apprehended on Thursday afternoon by Sergeant Hudson, of the Rother ham police, on the charge of picking the pocket of a lady of a sum of money. They followed her into a second class railway carnage at Sheffield, and perpetrated the theft between there and hlasborough. The " two gents" were apprehended on the arrival of the train at Mas. borough, but the third party succeeded in going on north wards with the train. A description of him was promptly legraphed down to the Swinton station, and when the train arrived he was detained till Sergeant Hudson went down and took him into custody. All the three pri soners were safely lodged in ,Rotherham Gaol within an hour or two after the robbery, awaiting an examination before the magistrates.
