EMIGRATION.—Thonsands are now leaving Old England for various c^untries and other climates—to all these E. MOSES & SON confidently recommend their complete OUT FITS. The number of years E. MOSES and SON have attended to this department, and their perfect acquaintance with every article requisite for the passage out, and for every climate in the world, is a reason why they supply Oattits better and cheaper than any other Establishment. _ _ H. B. SHERIDAN. Every Emigrant should therefore provide himself with an Outfit at E. MOSES and SON'S, every article being selected with the care end experience of the largest Outfitters in the Universe. On an Outfit rendered precious to the Emigrant by twofold claims —English make and daily use —a value is put far above the price paid for it at E. MOSES and SON'S, their charges being so ex tremely low for the valuable goods comprising their unequalled Outfits. The Emigrant, looking at these when in his hut or house in far distant lands, will wisely think how fortunate he had not neglected to ttke out his Outfit from E. MO-;ES and SON'S. %I hat could he have done without it, and how trifling their charge to what he must have pail elsewhere ? What a variety of valuable services it had tendered him, by becoming a constant accession to his daily corn forts, and how entirely imp , ssible would it be in .navy places to ob ttin any goods like those comprised in the Outfits from E. MOSES aid SON. They supply them for 31. 15e., 61. 155., 1 1. 110., and up wards. A detailed list can be had on application, or forwarded, post lee, to any part of the kingdom. E. MOSES AND SON.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING—THURSDAY. The outline of the engagements published in our paper of Wednesday last held out a brilliant prospect of sport, which, we are happy to state, has been realised to its fullest extent; the fields were large beyond O ur ex p ec t a ti o ns, the betting was animated, and competition, particularly for the Two Yrs Old and Selling Stakes, close and exciting; the meeting, in short, as well in its getting up as in its issue, must have proved extremely gratifying to those who had the good for tune to he present, and was in a high degree creditable to Mr. Dorling„ and that powerful body the licensed victualler s of the metropolis, by whom its staple feature has been so steadily and so b ountifully supported. The meeting, i rrespective of the sport, came off under the most favourabl e c i rcumstances; the weather was b r ight and warm, and th e attendance—thanks to the f ac ilities afforded by the B r i g h ton Railway Company—the larges t we have seen on Epsom Downs on any other occasion than a " Derby Day." Th e enclosure was thronged, so also was the stands, in which, if we missed the " beauty and fashion" that of old formed one of the chief attractions of a race course, we noticed many of the notabilities of the turf, amongst them the Marquis of Waterford, Lord Strathmore, Lord George Lennox, Lord Airlie, Lord Canterbury, Lord Adolphus Fitzclaren ce , L ord Exmouth, Lord Cl ifd en , Lord Stanhope, Count Bathy any, Sir George Armitage , Hon . Ge• neral Anson, Hon. M a j or Pitt, Hon. Captain R ous , Hon. Agar Ellice, Colonel N ewton; Messrs. Payne, C. Greville, Mills, G. Fitzroy, 11. Fit zroy, J. Stanley, Me i k l am , Osbal deston, Gratwicke, Milner, M.P., Gregory, Waller, Drinka ld, S. Graham, Magenis, Bastard, Rudston Read, Sec. his Ex cellency the Swedish Minister and several other foreigners were also present. In giving Mr. Dorling credit for the efficiency of his arrangements for the dispatch of business on the course, we must especially compliment him on the increased ac commodation he has provided in ;lei , weighing-room ;we have also to thank him for the attention he has paid to the convenience of the representative press,. by appor-. tioning a niche for their exclusive use—a little more space and a little more light would have left them nothing to desire. Of the mode in which the details of the manage ment were carried out it will be unnecessary to say more than that they were entrusted to the Newmarket staff of officials; and that, so far as it rested with them, every thing passed of unexceptionably; the only salient point WB9 the time, which, owing to a variety of little incidents that preceded the start for the first four races, was not so well kept as could have been wished. The c l er k of the scales, however, and his subordinates were so completely up to their work that the last race of the day was only half an hour be hind the time fixed. The following is a return of the racing ; — The Epsom Trial Stakes of five sovs. each, with 50 added, for three-yr-olds, 6st 121 b ; and four, Bst 71b. One mile. Mr. Way's Stapleton, 3 yrs .

Puritan, rushing to the front immediately after starting, led hree clear lengths to the turn, which he took so wide as to let up his followers, and the lot ran well together to the dis tance. From this point to the finish Puritan and Stapleton were singled out, the latter obtaining the lead half way up, and winning cleverly by half a length. Run in 1 min. 51 sec.

Signor iortini exe cuted what little he hadi to do most meritoriously. The orchestra and chorus were in excellent strength and har mony. The honours of cipal performers, and a cordial greeting was most fitly given to Mr. Balfe on his entering the orchestra. In the way of ballet there w ere two diverssenzoits, in which Medic. Gay Stephan made her re-appearance after a considerable ab sence, and danced and looked as charmingly and freshly as of old. The season may be pronounced, altogether, as hav ing been very brilliantly inaugurated. Flinn thei - Chronick. Signor Ferlotti personated the character of Chevreuse, and Signor Fortini the humbler p ar t c f De Fiesque. The latter gentleman is possessed of a strong and vigorous bass voice, which he uses like a thorough musician. The cha racter presents no feature for dramatic display, but Signor Fortini is evidently at home upon the stage, and did what little he had to do straightforwardly and well. As a steady an , ' conscientious artist, he will be an acquisition. Signor Ferlotti, however, the new baritone, is a personage of very different metal. lie took the difficult and trying part of Chevreuse, and represented it with great and genuine effect. We have seldom seen a more legitimate or well-deserved success. Signor Ferlotti, with a good and compact stage figure, possesses very strongly-marked fea tures, capable of great expression. He walks the stage well and boldly; his attitudes are capital—the beauty of his poses calling down repeated plaudits upon that account alone. As an actor Signor Ferlotti possesses much of the true dramatic power. He is forcible and impressive, and can fling either passion, tenderness, or rage into his voice, with very strik ing effect. The organ itself is full, round, and sonorous. At first it was slightly muffled, but as the actor warmed to his task, all the veiling wore away, and he gave his great act —the last—with a power and impulsive energy which t at • once proved his high claims, both as a singer and an pr The work was represented ast night in a manner to w hich verture we have hardly a single objection to offer. The c ° ooa poSi was capitally played—the lights and shades of t tion brought delightfully out, and the last rap one was a s most victoriously attacked. The opening chez: .equally efficient, and then ohm cAlsolorei Aro , 0 ,1 .01,hemovement C cellent artist has improved both in volume and flexibility of voice ; although there is still some tendency to a nasal tone, his singing last night was most musician-like, and the open ing aria, " Quando it cor," was unanimously re-denianded. In Maria we had back Madame Fiorentini, who was warmly greeted. She was in her best and most powerful voice, and her tive execution na was more rapid, brilliant, and correct than ever. The graceful melody, "Cups Fatal," which forms her ad first rfria was very sweetly sung and capitally accompanied. effee e. Ida Bertrand is increasing in stage aplomb and se, and her voice was also in excellent order. She gave her arch contralto song in so musicianly a man ner, and wilt such dramatic propriety of sentiment, as to call down a loud encore. In the first act there is little call ing for display in the part for the baritone, but the mingled manliness and tenderness which he threw inte the air " Ah, non Avea" at once established Signor Ferlotti's footing. The concluding concerted music was satisfactorily performed. In the second act 51dlle. Ida Bertrand's piquant and saucy song, " Zu scherzi o conte," very narrowly escaped an encore; and the concluding duo between Maria and Chalais, excellently given by both performers, brought down the act-drop with great applause. The third act is the strong ground for the baritone. We have already characterised the general style of Signor Ferlotti's acting and singing, and we have little to add, save that his delineation of the outraged husband was at once pathetic, manly, and full of genuine power. The burst of passion addressed to the wife—the intensity of the sneering words which succeed—the triumphant rage when the husband finds his betrayer in his power- all this was given with a vigour and artistic effect which quite took the house by surprise, the singer remaining perfectly In command of his voice through the long and trying scene. (From the Morning:Herald.) We could have desired something better for the inanga ration of the season then the Maria di Bohan, which, the seventy-fourth (!) of the works ascribed to Doaizetti, is far from being one of the strongest and most original of the composer's efforts. Moreover, the edge of novelty has been blunted by its contemporaneous performance at another establishment, where Ronconi, the artist who Las given the principal character its chief vogue, is at hand to embody Signor Ferlotti, however, comes with a good reputation from Italy. The part in question is stated to be one of his masterpieces as it is of onconi's. He is a tall, hand some man. His voice is of thick and heavy volume. and not altogether so flexible as it might advantageously be. During the early part of the evening he made but little impression, the hopes of the audience being especially reserved for the last act. And - these hopes were not cisme- Pointed. He depicted the anguish and remorselessness of jealousy with power and in , ention.kNur was the portrayal.- wanting in those niceties of ceroTrivhich fie - have been taught to look for. His illustration of deep and absorbing passion was close and graphic, without the loss of personal dignity, while his attitudes were signally fine and striking. An encore rewarded his reading of the " Bella e di sol yes tita," which overflowed with sensibility, notwithstanding he solidity and gravity of the tones. The personators of the other characters were old acquaintances of the habitue's. Madame Fiorentini, who represented the heroine, has seem ingly made advances since she was here in 1851. We ob serve a greater degree of finish in her mode of delivery, a superiority of style when compared with herself, an increase of vocal ease and self-pessession. In the air " Cupa fatal," which first lets the spectator into the secret griefs of her heart, Madame Fiorentini was eminently successful; though her executive tact was more boldly displayed in the cabaletta to the preghiera near the close of the opera, which she sung with force and brilliancy. Calzolari, who opposes Tamberlik at the other house as the representative of the Duke, was smooth, correct, and earnest. Hie execution of the opening romance" Quando it cor" was sufficiently sentimental, and his duet with the Duke in the second act sufficiently emphatic. The perform ance, in a word, if not distinguished by any of the surprises of genius, was satisfactory, and did not fail to command ap plause. Mademoiselle Ida Bertrand sang the music - of the amorous Gondi agreeably and tastefully. The ballet has not yet put forth its strength. Mademoiselle Guy Stephan, who was the " star" of the evening, was a "star" some seven or eight years ago ; and a period of this dimension in the career of a danseuse is little short of a lifetime. When Guy Stephan was here during the early years of the Lumley dynasty, she was liberally admired and talked about. Her piquant looks and equally piquant style of dancing were good reasons for enthusiasm ; and though the schools of " realism" and " idealism" were not then determined by ingenious critics, her graceful liveliness was a theme of copious panegyric. Since those halcyon days of the ballet Guy Stephan has been in Madrid, where she has been a permanent favourite for several years; and she is now lured back again to her Majesty's Theatre, in the full odour of Spanish glory. Time does not seem to have rifled this clever artist of her personal charms. We ob serve but little alteration in her appearance. Perhaps she is a little stouter; but for that we care not. Between the acts of the opera the divertissement entitled L'Aurore, identified with the name of Dumilatre, was revived for her rents*. She was welcomed with pleasure by those who remembered her in her more youthful days, and with interest by those who were cognisant of her continental fame. Nor were either disappointed. Mademoiselle Guy Stephan evinced consum mate practical ability, displayed not only in the French arti ficialities of the divertissement, bat also in the fuller-grown ballet Un Bailie de Candil, which came after. In the latter, the scene and sentiment of which is purely Spanish, Guy Stephan was seen to excellent advantage. Li a " Valse Comique," and a " Madrilena, " her Castillian experiences were brought into pleasant use, and the national dancing of Spain was exemplified without the sophis tications and corruptions of the ballet master. Nothing could be more buoyant, vivacious, and exhilarating. The National Anthem was sung between the opera and the ballet, the leading vocalist being Madame Fiorentini. (From the Daily News.) The principal character, the Duke de Chevreuse, presenting a picture of jealous fury, wrought up to the utmost pitch of intensity, demands a tragedian of the highest powers, the qualities of the singer being of secondary importance. It is Ronconi'a greatest part; for the defects of that great per former's vocal organ are unnoticed whenever he has full scope for his dramatic genius. Ronconi, in the last scene of this opera, is not unwcrthy to be compared to Keen, in Othello. It is no disparagement, therefore xs , stee t r o yaonea t rrr h adm e lin n a e r w y n a o g in u a it r y . Signor Ferlotti, to say that his peformance is not of so high an order, and that it has been placed at a disadvantage by being brought into unavoidable comparison with a perform ance which is admitted to be unrivalled. Signor Ferlotti. nevertheless, is an excellent artist—not onlya highly.finished singer, but an actor of no ordinary ability. His voice is one of the finest baritones we have ever heard, combining great power with mellow sweetness. and almost the flexibility of a tenor, His style is pure, and he sings with energy and passion. He has expressive features, a good person, and that distin guished air which fits the actor for the higher walks of the stage. In the trying scene of rage and despair which con cludes this opera, he made several telling points ; but his fault was a deficiency of impulse and abandon. He bad too many of the conventional habits of the Opera stage; and by not allowing the audience to lose sight of the. actor and the singer, weakened the effect of what was, in many respects, a very powerful performance. The sesueznndtn)e. ears, sr t h ird part of the heroine was perforated by Madame Fio rentini, whose beautiful face, graceful figure, and fine voice, were well fitted for it. She sang exceedingly well; and though she did not rise to the pitch of tragic passion which the concluding scene demands, yet her performance on the whole was pleasing and interesting. The part of the Count de Chalais is an ungrateful one, and Calzolari gave it Ida Bertrand was. excellent, and highly successful, in t h e as much effect as it seems capable of recei f v ag i a u nr well sp trainar t e o :d i t D hv eo e Gondi. cche s,rape c 7 t ' l l i ; : h e s e ot rr o oc p oh e ge r s a at ro t: d, a was splendidly ne d.oev,rrthuteioist and th ere there was did its duty o d n u g t Guy Stephan was another after the opera.

One of the most striking effects produced was the assembling of the cantons to take the confederate oath of freedom in the second act. We trust the public may be afforded more than another opportunity of hearing Ros sines master piece performed in so masterly a manner. The critic in a Morning Contemporary has the following just re marks on the new tenor :—" Herr Ander had to contend against the recollection of Duprez and Roger in the same character, than which he could scarcely have undergone a severer ordeal.
