FRANCE. ..~,: ~. ARABIA , FOREIGN THEATRICALS. opERA CoMlQtrE. —One of Mehul'a unpretending little operas , L'lrato, has been revived here, for the debut in t h e part of Scapin of M. Meillet, on e o f the pillars of the Opera National during the past season. He was received with marked favour. The other parts were creditably supported by Mdlles. Lemercier, De croix, and MM. Lemaire, St. Foy, and Ponchard. • VAnDeveezee_After a remarkably prosperous career, La Dame aux Cantellas has disappeared from the affiche in consequence of the conge of Madame Doche, whose admirable acting has not a little contributed to its suc cess. The novelty which has replaced it, La Maitresse d'Ete et la Maitresse iver, by M. Clairville, aided by M. Cordier, has one point in common with its attrac tive predecessor—it is in five acts—of which three'at least are de trop. There is no deficiency of smartness and animation, but. five acts of incidents more or less coofused, merely to narrate the amorous tribulations of M. Henri, or M. Arthur, is rather over-estimating the importance of such trifiee. Ia this affair, the hero is a Parisian " Giovanni," who in summer con descends to honour with his notice a pretty peasant girl, whom ha all bat seduces, while in winter be comes one of the most devoted admirers of Mdlle.sitet, one of the fair denizens of the quartier Breda. The maitresse (rem, however, has also a rustic admirer, who, with a spirit that does honour to the con fraternity of modern Melibeei, punishes M. Henri by transforming himself into an accomplished townsman, making a vigorous attempt to supplant him in the affec tions of Resits, and finally calling him out and " w i ng . Log" him after the most approved fashion. Ultinuately the piece conclude with the marriage of the hero with the village girl. ANBIGU.—The most illustrious of ancient dramatists have been reproached with a too liberal use of the ter rible in their dramas, but all the Greek writers, even old eEichylus himself, must yield the palm to the Ambigu. Here the playgoer, who, like Macbeth, would "sup full of horrors," finds s table ready to his taste. Carnage, pes tilence, murder, suicide,and all the evils with which poor humanity is afflicted, are nightly presented here according to the most correct traditions of the Boulevart du Crime. After the Vampire, the Croquemort, Satan, &c., we are now introduced to rho Croquemitaine, not the cradle bugbear dreadful to refractory childhood, but simply a Gbentish glove-maker, who acquires this soubri quet in consequence of an order of the Duke of Alva for an unlimited s apply of green mittens gallice " mitaines." The fierce governor intends them to be worn by the Spanish troops as a rallying sign in a general massacre of the Flemish; this massacre, a rather close imitation of the St. Bartholomew, constitutes the subject of the piece, which was successful considering its length (six acts) and its complete deficiency of anything like literary merit, the scene-painter, costumier, and per formers, particularly M. St. Ernest and Mme. Mabire, more than sharing in the honours with the author, M. Max de Revel. TREA.TRE NATIONAL. We have here a genuine military drama, La Prise de Capree, in which the dashing sabreur, Murat, and his gallant followers go through those evolutions and the well-knoeu feats of mine which this theatre (tha Cirque Olympique of former days) has times me; or mind been in the habit of represeatieg, the whole crovvued by the storming of Ceprea, in which a &loge of rockets and a portentous display of red fire give u very showy and brilliant representation of something, which, in reality, must be far from nu agreeable affair. The certain falls in the midst of the enthusiasm created by this feu d'ar tce, and the authors come in for a share of the ap plausee, which we strongly suspect are wholly intended for the pyrotechnist, M. Roger has been succeeded in his part in the Juif Errant by M. Cnspni4, the former having left the theatre for his annuai tour, commencing with Germany, where he is an extraordinary favourite. In. addition to the hundred and one rumours long cur rent an L'Africaine, we now hear that M. &eyerbeer, by anew modification, has divested it of the character which seems to have-occasioned him some trouble, that of the Negress. This change demanding the assistance of M. Scribe, the dramatist, who has been spending the winter in Italy, has proceeded to Berlin for that purpose. - - MUM Rossi-Caccia has arrived in Paris.

Union and Univers have articles on the ru mour that the French Government has resolved to enforce the observance of the Sabbath. It appears from as advertisement in the journals that a consi derable number of tradesmen have already announced their intention to close their shops on Sunday. The Union, in mentioning the fact, expresses the satisfac tion that it derives from it, and a hope that the ex arapla will be generally followed. It appears, says the 'Mats, that it is in contem plation to change the hours of opening and closing the 4?qrse of Paris, so as to enable telegraphic dispatches to be sent off the same day to all the great towns France with the last quotations of the day. In ffet, zin g the Paris hours at from twelve to two, and those of Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Rouen, and Havre from four to five, an abundance of time would be . -left, after the close of the Paris Bourse, to send by electrio telegraph the official prices, so as to allow them' to be posted in the departments before the opening of each local bourse. It is stated that applications have been made by several towns in the departments to have this change in the hours effected, and there is reason to believe that the Minister of Finance will accede to the 'representations made. This intention s#'as' treaty ; spoken of at the Bourse, and some per sona ,even went the length of affirming that the Opposed change was already decided on, and would aeon be carried into effect. Since the end of March the Bank of France has banded over to the Prefecture of Police not less than 3'66 fals4 pieces of 51., which it bad taken in the course of business. False pieces of 20f., exceedingly wed executed, are now also in circulation. One was passed on Thursday evening at a grocer's shop in the Place de Is Bourse. The Corse steamer brought into Havre on Thurs day morning four English boats, taken in the act of dtedifing for oysters within the French lines. `According to the Trieste Zeitung, a courier from jpl4Tah had passed through Cairo on the 23d of May, on his waylci Constantinople. A French ship of the line of 120 Mini had appeared off Jiddah. It is - sup posed that fornial possesitbn is about to be taken of a part of the coast of Abyssinia or Senaar, near the Bay of Ampbilia, which is isboht three degrees north of the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb. EXTENSIVE BILL FORGERIES. CAMURE AND CONFESSION. SHEFFIELD, FRIDAY. The police authorities of this town have in custody an accomplished and hitherto highly successful bill forger and swindler, who was captured on Wednesday, and has since made a confession of no fewer than seven extensive forgeries. His name is Ernest Grapel, and it has been as certained that he is an extensive manufacturer of gutta percha wares at Birmingham. His arrest was brought about in the following manner:—On Wednesday after noon he went to the warehouse of Messrs. Thomas Ellin and Co., on Sheffield-moor, and stated that he wanted to purchase some expensive table cutlery. He stated in conversation that the goods were intended for the Bishop of Osnaburg, and that he was purchasing for Messrs. J. C. Flack and Co., of that place. He selected goods to the amount of 751. 103., less an allowance of 2i per cent. for himself, and got the invoice made out to Messrs. Flack. He then presented in payment a draft for 1 771. 3s. Bd. on Messrs. Smith, I' o yne, and Smith, of L on d on, dated May 22, 18 52, and pu r porting to be drawn by the Manchester and Liverpool Bank at Stafford. He de manded the balance in go ld, ref using a letter of credit on ewxaes going immediately to d suspici on . M r . G. L E o r a n n d e o en. onT his c p i l r e c a um th s a ta t hence i:e Barber (of the firm of Messrs. Ellin and Co.) said he would send the draft to the batik to be cashed. He in dorsed it accordingly, and the stranger coentersigned it A. IN. Simont. The instrument was presented im mediately afterwards to the cashier at the Sheffield Banking Company, with a request that he Would pass it to Messrs. Elba's credit and give the bearer 1001. in cash. The cashier did not like the appearance of the draft, so he referred to Mr. Wild, the sub-manager, and it was submitted to Messrs. J. H. Barber, the manager. They all agreed that it had a suspicious appearance, and so thought Messrs. Parkin and Bacon, the engravers, to whom Mr. Barber submitted it for scrutiny. The mana ger thereupon procured the aid of two police officers, who went forthwith to Messrs.; Ellin's establish ment, where the payer was waiting, and had some con versation with him, which ultimately induced him to give the individual into custody. The bank manager next proceeded to the establishment of Messrs. Josh. Rodgers and Sons, upon whom he knew a forged draft had been palmed last autumn. Mr. Robert Newbold, a partner in the firm, after hearing from Mr. Barber. what had transpired, accompanied him to the police-office, and recognised the man in custody as the very per son who in September last paid him 'a forged banker's draft for 1981. 1 ls. 2d., in payment for 801. 183. 9d. worth of cutlery, giving as a reference Messrs. Zwelchenhart and Co., merchants, Liverpool. Ttie draft, it appears, purported to be drawn on the Co ventry and Warwickshire Banking Company, in favour of J. J. Elder, and by the latter specially endorsed to R. A. Lambert, the name by which the prisoner then passed. He got the balance in cash, and a few days afterwards the draft was discovered to be a forgery. So complete was the deception that the discovery was not made till the instrument reached the banking-house of Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., who found it out because they had not received any advice of it. The prisoner, finding himself completely caught, made a full confession of his guilt, and avowed his connexion with five or six other forgeries. Lie has since been very comintinicative, and has explained with great minuteness the modus operandi which he has round so very successful in deceiving both commercial men and bankers. These revelations are likely to prove of great value in the detection of future forgeries. The prisoner was brought up before the mayor this day, on the two charges named above, and further ac cused (on his own confession) of another fraud of the same nature. On Saturday last he purchased go3d3 to the amount of 901,, of Messrs. Bloomer and Co., iron merchants, Westbromrvich, tendering in payment a draft for 1871. 7s. 3d., purporting to be drawn by the Manchester and Liverpool Bank. The W est b r orawich bank cashed the draft, endorsed by the prisoner, "A. W. Simont," and he received the change against the pur chase. This forged draft, singularly enough, passed through three banks, and reached Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths', without having been detected. Some evidence having been taken, the case was . remanded to Wednesday next. THE SCIENCE OF CANDLE-BURNING. Before you put your candle out look at it. It has been burning some time unsnuffed, and gives little or no light: the wick is long, and is topped by a heavy black clot—a lump of unconsumed carbon. Take the candle stick in your hand, and move it gently from side to side: the superfluous wick burns away, and the candle is again bright. When you ask yourself why this is, you learn that flame is hollow, and as it admits no oxygen, which is necessary for combustion, the wick which it surrounds remains unconsumed, and diminishes the light. When the flame, by motion, leaves the wick exposed at intervals to the oxygen of the atmosphere, it speedily burns away. Note ttie valuable deduction from this fact —the formation of a wick which constantly turns out ward and reaches the exterior air, and so gives us a candle requiring no snuffing. There is much phil oso phy in the burning of a can dl. The wick you may think is intended to burn and give light ; but this is not exactly the fact. The wick is simply to bring the melted tallow, or oil, if in a lamp, into that finely divided state in which it is best fitted for combustion. The heat applied to " light" the candle decomposes into its consti tuents the small quantity of tallow next the wick: heat and light are produced in the operation, and the beat so produced carries on the decomposition. Just think of this.—Builder. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

SAGACITY OF THE DOG. A most remarkable instance of the sagacity of this noble and faithful animal was related by Dr. Von Iff. land, a German physician of considerable eminence many years age : —e. Whil e in practice at Quebec, a large dog, bleeding profusely from the right leg, at tracted the attention of one of my students. He was coaxed into the surgery, when I found an artery and tendons completely divided. I ordered the pobr animal to be firmly secured, by which means a ligature was applied to the bleeding vessel, and after shaving the hair surrounding the wound, I care. tally applied adhesive plasters, and brought its edges together (leaving a small aperture for the ligature), covered with a linen bandage. After the operation he was set at liberty, but to my surprise the fol. lowieg morni ng t h e d og was one of my earliest. patients, The bandage appeared to be undis turbed. I, how ever , removed it for the purpose of examining tho state of the wound, and as the strips of plaster a pp eare d to be in the adhesive state -I allowed them to remain. On the third day, about the 511170 , s hour, the s agac i ous animal made his appearance,' and impatiently (by his gestures) wai te d hi s turn to meet the attention of my assistant to dr ess anew his wounds, to which ne most . gently su b m i tted, licking the whole ' time of the operatics the hands o f the operator. He continued punctually to visit my surgery every morning at the came hour until cured, which I believe was not it was impossible less that fifteen days. I found, some time after, that thn dog belonged to a respeotable I.)Titcher,,ad, every time I master 's ae h d ou io se n , dnes . s which the t h o a had v o o c i animal displayed by its alert gesturesandeumpmg ! an d occasion 5 t extreme to pass his dresses even following me through all my visits . to my patients,. until he saw me safely to my own lodgings, when . he im diately departed for his waster s house, and what is more extraordinary, all the enticing means . the resorted to by the students and myself never could prevail upondog to enter the surgery after he was dismissed as cared."

THACKERAY, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " PENDENNIS," 4^c. The New York Tribune says—" We are glad to help ourselves and our readers to a little knowledge of Mr. Thackeray, who is expected to visit the United States this year. He was born in Calcutta in the year 1811, and is now consequently 41 y ears o ld. Hi s f at h er was a high official of the E as t I n di a C ompany, wh i c h se cured him the entree of the best society, and a large income. Our author was born a ' gentleman.' He went to school in England—experienced all the tyranny of a brutal master, and the misery of fagging. He left school for the University of Cambridge, where he studied with Kinglake, the author of Eothen'—Eliot Warburton, who wrote the Crescent and the Cross,' and was lost with the Amazon—and Richard Monckton Milnes. Meanwhile the elder Thackeray died, and the future historian of Vanity Fair' launched himself into its midst with an annual income of about a thousand pounds. He lived according to his whims, drew sharp and clever caricatures, smoked, lounged, feasted upon books of every kind, and opened the oyster of the world at leisure. His mother, a woman of great beauty, and full of talent and tenderness, whose memory is so filially embalmed in the character of the mother of Arthur Pendennis,' married again about this time, and the young man, always the object of the proudest maternal love, came into possession of his paternal inheritance. He immediately returned from the Continent, where he had been staying a little time, and took up his residence in the Temple. Here Thackeray entered himself as a student of jurisprudence, and in the character War , rington,' Pendennis,' he has developed the career of the students, and the varied life of the Temple, in some of the best passages be has ever written. Henry Taylor, the dramatist, author of ' Philip Van Artevelde,' is among the residents of the Temple, and is mentioned by the German commentator as the original of a character in Thackeray's romance. We are at a loss to determine which; for if Warrington' be so intended, he seems to us to lose the point. Warrington' is a man of power without a career—Taylor a man of talent, who has certainly achieved a reputation quite equal to his just claims. However, 'the Temple not only furnished our author characters, but also the necessity of drawing them; for while there, and when scarcely more than, twenty-three years old, the young man had fooled away' his property, and was poor. The days of loung ing were evidently ending, and he betook himself to Paris, conceiving, from his facility in sketching, that he was born for an artist. brief time among the Parisian ateliers sufficed to remove this idea. But- as his step father at this period established a journal in London, called the Constitutional, the artist naturally became the Paris correspondent. Thus, like Dickens; he com menced his literary career as a journalist. In Paris, Thackeray met his present wife, an Irish lady of good family, and - married her. From this time dates his first purely literary effort, the Yellowplush Papers,' after wards published as Jeamea's Diary'—in which his cha racteristic tendency is clearly. indicated. The step-father's Constitutional absorbed moat of his property, of course, and failed. The son was obliged to return to England, and to begin work in earnest for himself." RACES IN CALIFORNIA. On Wednesday, the 21st ultimo, the longest and most exciting race that has ever been run in California, came off on the track, two miles south-east of this city, between the Sydney mare Black. Swan and the California horse Sam. This race has furnished food for conversation for six weeks past, and a great deal of interest was felt in the result, not only in this county but throughout the southern part of the State; and the crowd collected to witness the sport was such as is seldom seen here. The, Sarco was thought by the native population to be invincible, and many hesitated not to stake their whole on his win ning the race. The Black Swan is well known as a race horse, having run several races in the northern part of the state. Both animals were in good condition on ar riving at the ground, though it was easy to perceive the superior training of the mare. At the word "Santiago," they were off. The horse at the start was about two lengths ahead, but in going fifty yards the mare dis tanced him, and kept her position till the arrival at the turning point, when the horse again led. As before, how ever, the mare soon came up, and arrived at the winning post about 75 yards ahead, having completed the nine miles in just nineteen minutes and twenty secondi. The principal stake was one thousand head of cattle, and two thousand dollars in money, but from reliable sources we are informed that not lees than fifty thou sand dollars changed hands on this occasion. As an in stance of the excitement which prevailed, we would cite an incideat that occurred under our own observation. An honourable disciple of Esculapius who is doing a small business in the curative line, among the native population, tncy to a thenc on_ the staked all the cash he had— the proceeds of many a pill and blister—his horse, and then his cloak, and when last we saw him, he was ban tering the yenta to stake his hat upon the mare. On Friday, the 2d instant, a race of scarcely less im portance came off on the land, about a mile below the city, between the American' horse Bear Meat and the American mare Nubbins, the principal stake being four hundred head of Cows aside, and the distance four hundred yards. The mare came in about ten feet ahead; but, judging from the way the horse bad gained on the mare in the last twenty jumps, had the distance been a hundred yards further, victory would' have de oided in favour of Bear Meat.—Los Angeles Star. MISS JENKYNS IN ALARM' AT B ONAP AR TE. I think it was in 1805 that Miss Jenkyns wrote the longest series of letters, on occasion of her absence on a visit to some friends near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. These friends were intimate with the commantlabt of the garrison there, and heard from him of all the preparations that were being made to repel the invasion of Bonaparte, which soma people imagined might take place at the mouth of the Tyne. Miss Jenkyns was evidently very much alarmed; and the first part of her letters was often written in pretty intelligible English, conveying particu lars of the preparations which were made in the family with whom she was- residing against the dreaded event; the bundles of clothes that were packed up randy for a flight to Alston Moor (a wild hilly piece of ground between Northumber -1 land and Cumberland); the signal that was to be given for this flight, and for the simultaneous turning out of the volunteers under arms; which said signal was to consist (if I remember rightly) in ringing church bell s in a particular and ominous manner. This warning summons was actually given one day, when Miss Jenkyns and her hosts were at a dinner party in Newcastle (not a very wise proceeding, if theta be any truth in the moral attached to the fable of the Boy and the Wolf; but so it was), and Miss Jenkyns, hardly recovered from her fright, wrote the next day to describe the sound, the breath lea% shock, the hurry and alarm; and then, taking breath, she added, " h ow trivial, my dear father, do all our apprehensions of the last evening appear, at the present moment, to calm and inquiring minds!" And here Miss Matey broke in with—" But, indeed, my dear, they were not at all trivial or trifling at the time. I know I used to wake up in the night many a time, and think I heard the tramp of the French entering Cranford. My mother has sat by my bed half a night through, holding my hand and comforting me; and - Many people talked of hiding themselves in the salt mines--and meat would have kept capitallydown there, only perhaps we should have been thirsty. And my fa ther preached a whole set of sermons on the occasion; one set in the mornings, all about David and Goliath, to spirit up the people to fighting wits spades or bricks, if need were ; and the other sot in the afternoon, prov ing that Napoleon (that was anether name fdr Bony, as we used to call him), was all the same as Apollyon and Abaddon.

Fechell, ohHervcd ,hat the Board of Admiralty were determined to keep ho squadron on the coast of Africa in a state of suffi cient eff:ctiveness to suppress the stave trade in that quarter of the world. Sir G. PECHELL wished to know whether France and America still co-operated with this country in put ting a stop to the traffic in sieves on the coast of Afr.ca? Mr. STAFFORD said the reports on that subject wore sutisfaAory. Captain SCOBELL complained that there had not been sufficient promotion among those engaged in the attack upon Lagos. Admiral STEWART said the promotion of officers in the affair of Lagos had occupied the deliberate and liberal consideration of the late Government. Whatever were the number of killed and wounded, ho would take upon himself to say tont in no other naval action on record was • more liberal promotion given by the Admiralty,. Mr. STAFFORD confirmed the statement of the Gallant Admiral. Lord J. RUSSELL heard with great pleasure that it was the intention of the Governinent to keep up the slave squadron on the coast of Africa, for he believkl, if it were maintained for a short time longer, the traffic in slaves would cease altogether. The vote was then agreed to. as was also a vote of 11,2501. for mixed commissions for adjudication in refe rence to captured slaves and slavers. On the vote of 150,953 L for defraying the expenses of consular establishments abroad, Mr. W. WILLIAMS considered that a great reduc tion might be made under this head without injury to the interests or commerce of the country. They might, for jestance, dispense with the consul at St. Petersburgh, who received a salary of 7501. a year; for we had besides that officer in that city, not only an ambasse.or, hut a minister and secretary to the legetion. Ho did not think the consul could have any duty whatever to per form which could not be discharged by the other repre sentatives of England in St. Petersbar g h. The Rau. Member mentioned other instances in which reductions might be made. Lord STANLEY said there was only an increase of 2,0001. under this head, as compared with last year, but the present Government were only responsible for a small portion of the present estimates. He assured the honourable Member that his Noble Friend at the head of Foreign Affairs would take this subject into his serious consideration with the view of econo mising the expenses as far as possible. In reply to Mr. HINDLEY, Lord STANLEY said he was not aware of the existence of any rule that when a vacancy occurred in the consular establishment it should be filled up by the Government at the same salary. W. WILLIAMS complained that the expense of our establishments at the small settlement of Hong- Kong 4 103UUllted to 7,399/., while at Canton, where so vast a commerce was carried on, the expense did not exceed 4,629/. Lord STANLEY said the discrepancy was nominal and not real. Th e G overnor o f H ong -K ong co nducted all negotiations with th e Chi nese Government, and had ments the gen era l superv i s i on o f t h e consu l ar e stablishments to a in China, and ho was therefore thought entitled larger salary than the consul at Canton.
