't THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER. THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESS. (From the Bolton Chronicle of Saturday.) ELECTION OF TILE SPEAKER.-Our report of the debate i , abridged from The Sun, copies of which paper were brought to Manchester yesterday by Mr. Young, the Editor and Pro prietor. The division took place about a quarter past six o'clock on Thursday evening ; Mr. Young left London at eight o'clock, and arrived at Manchester ten minutes before one, yesterday, though considerably impeded by a violent snow-storm He immediately proceeded to Liverpool by the railway in carriage, the conductor of which engaged to take him in less than an hour. Too much praise cannot be given to this spi rited gentleman for the expedition with which he has con veyed this important news'. The public must be aware that to give a full report of so late a debate as this, and to publish in Bolton on Saturday morning a list of 626 names, which were not given in London before seven o'clock on Friday morning, is a source of much expense and anxiety to us. But whatever may be the trouble, we are determined to give our readers the latest possible intelligence. We have made such arrangements that every Express which arrives in Manchester during the present Session of Parliament will be immediately forwarded to us. (From the Nottingham Journal of Friday.) We received a full report of the above debate, in an express edition of the Sun newspaper, about seven o'clock this morn ing, nearly three hours before the arrival of the London mail. The extraordinary exertions which the proprietors of that paper have always made to convey the earliest information on important subjects, deserve, and will no doubt ensure for it, an increased share of public patronage. (From the Manchester Times of Saturday.) ELECTION OF SPEAKER TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. —A report of the debate on the election of Speaker, with the division announcing the triumphant result, occupying about seven columns of matter, was given on Thursday evening in The Sun evening paper, copies of which arrived by express at Mr. C. H. Lewis's shop, a few minutes before one o'clock yesterday. The journey from London to Manchester was ac complished in seventeen hours, although the messenger had to encounter a severe storm on the road. For so great an effort, accomplished at a vast expense, the spirited proprietor of The Sun is entitled not only to the thanks, but the cordial support of the public generally. The news brought by the express conveyed doleful tidings to the Tories, whose sanguine hopes were at once laid , prostrate. No doubt the ringers had been summoned to celebrate another conservative victory, by a merry peal from the Collegiate church bells. But, sad mis hap ! the cheering sounds were not heard ; and so panic stricken were the sorry Tory clique, that scarcely one of them could be seen in the streets throughout the afternoon. We refer to our sporting correspondent's letter for the progress of the betting on this event : from which it will be seen that the sanguine speculators on the Conservative side have made a bad business of it. (From the Yorkshireman (York) of Saturday.) EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—WC feel called up - on to ac knowledge the obligation we are under to the spirited conduc tors of The Sun newspaper. We are indebted to an express edition of that paper for a full report of the debate and divi sion on the election of Speaker, which reached us in less than 23 hours after the close of the proceedings. (From the Sheffield Independent of Saturday.) EXPRESS FROM LONDON.—Owing to the spirited exertions of the Proprietor of The Sun, we are enabled to present to our readers a report of the close of the debate on Thursday evening. Mr. Wiley came down with the express, and reached Sheffield about twenty minutes before eleven o'clock yesterday morning. He left London a little before eight o'clock the previous evening. On the road between Woburn and North ampton, the express had to encounter a tremenduous storm of rain and wind, which, added to the heavy state of the roads, was a great hindrance. Mr. Wiley immediately went forward ;, ‘ , ..1 Leeds, and reached that town before half-past one. ( From the Hull Advertiser of Friday. ) TIIE DZIIATE ON THE SPEAKERSHIP.—We should be guilty of extreme inj,:stice to the couductors of that able evening pa per The Sun, did ;re not express our acknowledgments for the report of the debate NO'h which we have, owing to their exer tions, been favoured. Although the debate did not commence until yesterday afternoon, we lui -1 this day, at half-past three, a full report, occupying eight coluni:is of that journal. The news of the result first reached us at a q ! tarter to one, having been despatched from Spittal by a carrier-pig-NIL (From the Birmingham Journal of Saturday. We are indebted to The Sun newspaper for the 'first find most extensive report of the debates on the Speakership and the result. An express edition arrived from the above office at five o'clock yesterday morning, containing seven columns of the proceedings, and was promptly circulated by the two news agents throughout the town and neighbourhood. (From the Devonport Independent of Saturday.) We feel deeply indebted to the Proprietor of The Sun for the kindly promptitude with which he has favoured us with the earliest report of the debate on the election of the Speaker for the House of Commons. We know of no London print that is conducted with greater spirit and enterprise, or that employs more strenuous exertions to communicate ample in formation upon subjects, in which every friend of his country is deeply and vitally interested. Its Express Editions (see advertisement), are published with such rapidity, as to put Country Subscribers " in possession of news one day earlier than by the ordinary channels." (From the Sheffield Mercury of Saturday.) ELECTION OF SPEAKER.—Editions of The Sun London Paper, containing the result of the debate on the election of a Speaker of the House of Commons, were brought to this town express by Mr. Wiley, yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, being two hours earlier than the arrival by mail. ( From the York Herald of Saturday.) GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF REFORMERS.—It it with inexpres sible delight we this day communicate to our readers the gra tifying intelligence of the glorious victory which the Re formers gained over the High Tory party in the House of Com mons on Thursday last. For the long report of the meeting of Parliament, which will be found in a previous column, we are indebted to the able and spirited Editor of The Sun news paper. The express edition of that paper arrived at our of fice early last evening, and the important information it con tained was received by the Reformers in this city with the highest satisfaction. (From the Morning Post [London] of this day.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—The news of the majority of ten for Mr. Abercromby as Speaker of the House of Commons, which arrived in Liverpool by The Sun express, was conveyed to Holyhead by telegraph in five minutes, and was forwarded from that place to Dublin by the Liffey steamer. (From the Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday.) The result of the election of Speaker, with the majority of 10 for Mr. Abercromby (as brought by The Sun express), was telegraphed from Liverpool to Holyhead, within five minutes. A steam-boat, the Liffey, was off Holyhead, ready to convey the intelligence to Dublin ; and persons on board were provided with night signals, to communicate the news as soon as the packet neared the Irish shore. (From the Liverpool Mercury of Friday.) -- - - A second edition of The Sun newspaper, received by Mr. ezpress this afternoon, at three o'clock, has brought us the result oc the great contest which took place yesterday between the Tories 6.nd Reformers, in the House of Commons. It terminated in the return of the Right Honourable James Abercromby as Speaker, by a majority of ten over Sir Charles Manners Sutton, the nominee of the Tory Admins- _ tration. We congratulate our readers and the country at large on tins glorious result, and proceed to lay before them an abridgment' of the debate, as we find it reported in The Sun. The news was received at Mr. Wilmer's, and on the Exchange with loud cheers.—[Edits. der.] COWES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) It is impossible to describe the excitement and anxii: . !v which generally prevailed through this port and vicinity, until the arrival of the mail on Thursday night ; but when The Sun was delivered, the congratulations that took place, and the triumphant looks of the inhabitants, fully evinced their warm and lively interest in the great principle of Reform. A dinner had been for some time in contemplation, at the " Union" Hotel, to celebrate the return of the worthy Baronet, Sir R. Simeon, for the county of the Isle of Wight ; and it was deter mined to celebrate this event on the same evening, in connec tion with the glorious return of the Right Hon. James Aber cromby as Speaker of the House of Commons. Considering the shortness of the notice, a numerous and highly respectable company assembled about seven in the evening, and partook of an entertainment provided by the worthy landlord, Mr. Lock, which comprehended all the good things in season ; and we were happy to sea, that a strong partiality for the grand sys tem of Reform had no tendency to take away the appetite. The dining-room was decorated with numerous flags, including two new beautiful silk banners, one inscribed " Simeon and Reform," and the other, " We are a patient but determined People." The front of the house was to have been illuminated with variegated lamps ; but a tremendous storm of wind and rain having come on in the evening, the town was disappointed of the expected display, and the company also of the attend ance of many staunch friends to the good cause, from East Cowes. Mr. W. G. Hunter having been called to the Chair, and Mr. Robert Moir to fulfil the duties of Vice-President, har mony, good order, and good fellowship were kept alive to a late hour. After dinner the following toasts were proposed by the worthy Chairman : " The King, and may he always feel that the firmest sup port of the throne is the affection of the people." " The honest and independent Representative of the County of the Isle of Wip lit, Sir Richard Simeon, Bart." " The Right Hon. James Abercromby, Speaker of the House of Commons, and the glorious Majority of Ten." " Messrs. Hankins and Ord, the worthy Representatives of the Borough of Newport." " Earl Durham, and Union amongst all true Reformers." " Mr. Charles Day, the Father of Reform in the Isle of Wight." The meeting was enlivened by many excellent songs, by Messrs. Drover, Schuldt, and others. The former gave great effect to a new ballad, entitled " Simeon, the Man of our Choice," and the song of " The Poor Voter ;" and another, entitled " The Bundle of Sticks," was sung with great effect by Mr. Morgan. Two letters, from Sir R. Simeon and Mr. Ord, to Mr. C. Day, announcing the triumph of the Reformers, were read by the Chairman, who then proposed " The Independent Elec tors of England." The raging of the elements out of doors formed a striking contrast with the harmony, hilarity, and conviviality that (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " .lEquam memento rebus in arduis Servare mentem : non secus in bonis Ab insolenti tcmperatam Lwtitia." _ . The decent tone of triumph which the arrival of the London packet with The Sun this morning has created in this city, augurs well for Reform and the tranquillity of Ireland. Never was intelligence more anxiously looked for, and more ardently welcomed by the friends of good order and fair play, than the majority of ten in favour of Mr. Abercromby. The joy dif fused by this event is almost universal though it be para doxical to say so, among a people notorious for factious and discordant opinions on political subjects. Yet so it is. None but the most obtuse and habitual fosterlin i gs of faction and corruption are depressed at the prospect of getting rid of a Ministry which has attempted to rule this country by means of that old ascendancy and intolerant party, which has so long retarded its improvement. For however numerous and re spectable that class of persons in this country are, who have lately hailed the advent of the Tories, and tendered their ad hesion, you may rest assured that most of them had their mis givings as to the practicability of preserving the peace of this country, and its connection with England under such a regime. And such of them as can look beyond their own selfishness feel gratified at the result of this first blow against partizan ship, as likely to produce that state of things which will be independent of any factious support, but rely solely on sound and rational public opinion. If Sir Robert Peel have not lost that sagacity and discretion which he has hitherto had credit for among all reasonable politicians, he will, ere this letter reaches your office, have tendered his resignation as Premier, and advised his Majesty to form such a Cabinet on Whig principles, as will not reject the services of himself and the Duke of Wellington in such situations as their experience and past conduct may entitle them to. This is the feeling which pervades every class of persons in this city, who have any pretensions to share in, or influence public opinion. They say, a coalition with these two Statesmen alone of their party, would reflect credit on, and give stability to, a new Whig Mi nistry, inasmuch as Sir Robert and the Duke have long since made overtures to desert from the' enemy's camp, and join those who are guided by the spirit of the age. I have endeavoured to give you a condensed view of the notions of the majority of Irishmen, as connected with the defeat of the Ministry on the first question upon which they choose to test the principle of the new House of Commons. From this you will perceive that no doubt is entertained of the immediate resignation or dismissal of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues. I have only to add, that such a consummation, however devoutly wished for, was not so soon expected. The prevailing opinion for the 48 hours before the arrival of this day's packet was, that Sir C. Sutton would be re-elected, and thus a ground laid for the "fair trial" so perseveringly de manded. The news therefore is so much the more grateful and joyous, as it was not generally expected. Wagers had been more in favour of Sir Charles than of Mr. Abercromby during the last three days. The new half-sovereigns appeared on Saturday. They resemble seven shilling pie Nil, except that they are thicker. RISE OF THE COTTON' TRADE.—In the begin ning of the reign of George the Third (1760) this trade gave employment to 40,000 persons, and the value of the goods pro, duced was 600,0001. It now employs not less than 1,500,000 persons, and the value of the goods produced exceeds 31 mil lions. The cotton yarn annually spun in England would, in a single thread, girdle the globe 203,775 times ; it would reach 51 times from the earth to the sun, and it would encircle the earth's orbit eight times and a half.—Atheneum.

ALARMING FIRE AT BRONlLEY.—Yesterday g at e i n o c n e o w f a t s be fo z a d r i d vi e s d ion to th t t e t • about fl: at e ° :h c e loc p k ol i i n ce tel s l t i morn. inspector on the Coventry Cross p ::_hlic.bouse, near the Four Mills, at Bromley, was on fire, and he ;:::Tediately sent messengers to the engine-stations to forward all the assi;t2.9ce tbey could without delay: Mr. Walker (the landlord) and his family re tired to rest about one o'clock, and left every thing perfectly safe, and about four o'clock yesterday morning a traveller was passing the house, and, noticing an unusual light in the lower part, he alarmed the inmates, who fortunately escaped with out sustaining any injury. A considerable portion of the lower part of the house is burned, and some stabling at the rerir of it entirely destroyed. The horses were fortunately got out. By seven o'clock the firemen had stopped the fire from pro ceeding farther than the public-house. The cause of the fire is not known, and, unfortunately for Mr. Walker, he is riot in sured. A great quantity of the stock is saved. SINGULAR FACT.—In the Admiralty Court at Jamaica are still preserved the jaws of a shark, through the instrumentality of which an enemy's vessel, provided with false papers, and claiming to he a neutral, was condemned and made a good prize. In 1799, Lieut. Whylie was or dered by the Commander on the Jamaica passage to cruise in the Mona passage, in company with the tender of the Aberga venny, under Lieut. Fitton. In a short time they parted com pany, and next day, all being calm, Lieut. Fitton, observing a number of sharks off the south side of St. Domingo, baited a hook with a 41b. piece of pork, which, on being thrown over was gulped down by the largest of the sharks. When the fish was hauled on board, the Lieutenant ordered the men to open the stomach for the purpose of obtaining the piece of pork, which was not the worse for its lodging, and in the performance of this operation was found a bundle of paper tied round with a string. They were relative to a vessel's cargo, and were addressed to an enemy's port, one letter com mencing " the bearer hereof, my good friend Mr. Schultz, supercargo of the American brig Nancy, will hand you this." In an hour afterwards the Sparrow joined com pany, and Lieutenant Whylie came on board to break fast with Lieutenant Fitton. During their separation it appeared that Lieut. Whylie had, on suspicion, detained an American brig. " Was not her name Nancy?" said Lieut. Fitton—Whylie was thunderstruck--" and had she not a su percargo called Schultz, of Baltimore ?" " The devil !" ex claimed Whylie, " why you *gust have spoken her." " No," said Fitton, "but there's a lamented friend," pointing to the shark, who has brought me full information of your brig." It eventually appeared that false papers had been given by the pretended neutral to Whylie, that the true documents, thrown overboard, were gobbled up by the shark, and upon their au thority was the Nancy condemned as a prize—thus leaving Jonathan no resource in future but to swallow and digest the papers himself.— United Service Journal.

The impression thus excited has, I know, been strongly in favour of The Sun, that being the only paper which had reached this town containing such information. Feb. 22. .1. W. M. MR.

SPEAKER, AND LOOKING ANYTHING BUT LIVELY 1 THE BLACK LIST. CARNARVON. ( From the Spectator.) The exertions and public spirit of the proprietors of The Sun, in giving the latest Parliamentary intelligence, are pro verbial, and deserving of every praise. Copies of that paper, containing a full report of the debate on the election of Speaker, arrived in Liverpool (by express) at half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon, being the only paper the proprie tors of which had thus exerted themselves. The decision was telegraphed to Holyhead. It was known at all the places in the vicinity of the telegraph stations in a very short time—at Beaumaris, three minutes before three o'clock ; and Holyhead a few minutes after. The news was 'quickly transmitted through the counties of Denbigh, Carnarvon, and Anglesey ; and in the two latter, many hours before the arrival of the mail. In Carnarvon it was made public soon after live o'clock ; the town was instantly placarded, and next morning the grafi ing intelligence was disseminated widely through the Northern Principality in a second edition of the Carnarvon Herald, which contained a short analysis of the debate. Full reports of the debate, in The Sun paper, of course arrived by the mail, thus giving us that exclusive information which otherwise we should have only received twenty-four hours after. For this we are solely indebted to The Sun paper. We trust such exertions will meet with commensurate patron age. The result of the division was hailed with gladness. This list cannot be made out until the votes on the Address have been ascertained. Many honest Reformers may hay, been entrapped into voting for, or not voting against, the Tor:‘ candidate, under the impression that there would be no seriou contest. It is therefore only fair to leave them a " place o repentance." In the meanwhile, however, it is right that the country should see how certain professed Reformers and th , doubtful gentlemen voted on the Speakership, and therefor( we give the subjoined analysis.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-I take the liberty of addressing a few observations to you who have so frequently—and never more successfully than now—carried on an uncompromising warfare against tyranny, whatever garb it assume. A great national triumph has been achieved—it is the duty of all to join in the Paan; no man can be called a sound friend to his country who will not aid in crowning with laurel the brows of those who have so nobly fought the battle of the people and—conquered. The more active our foes are in circulating their honey-bedewed slan ders, the surer will be our success—the brighter shine the light of truth. If the question of electing a Speaker be con sidered abstractedly, it cannot be alleged that the issue is of no consequence to the country at large—that it is a mere business proceeding, interesting to and affecting the House only. Would it not naturally be asked out of doors, why the Com mons had not a President agreeing in politics with the ma jority? Would the anomaly have passed unnoticed and un censured ? But when you couple with the argument of common sense the mean deceit that was at the bottom, a con test arises in your mind between reason and indignation. Had the Commons been entrapped, every engine would have been set at work to prove the return of Tory principles--misrepre sentation would have been heaped on misrepresentation —the demon of cant and calumny would have thrown his firebrands right and left—the energies of Reformers would have received a blow, and the cold ealenlating waverer would have found some shadow of an excnse for fixing himself in the ranks of the enemy. When some future historian, unbiassed 137 party feeling, shall come to the great events of the present period—when he describes the KING, in the unquestioned exercise of his Royal Prerogative, dismissing a Ministry untried and undipi4Fd— which Ministry dissolved a Parliament that it had not the cou rage to meet, be may on the same page present to the rising race of freemen the TlOlf 4114 animating §pectaPlV of El Farlia ment exercising also their privileges, and displaying their feel ings, by electing a man whose best title is—HIS LOVE OF LI BERTY.

DINNER TO MESSRS. ATTWOOD AND SCHOLE-. FIELD, M. P's.—On Monday last the independent Committee of the electors of Deritend and Bordesley entertained the Members of this borough to a public dinner at the Green Man Inn. Owing to the smallness of the room, which, however, is the largest in the hamlets, the number of tickets were of necessity limited, and, consequently, not one tenth of those who were anxious to attend, could be accommodated. Shortly after five o'clock, the company sat down to a most excellent dinner, which was served up in a style which reflec ted great credit on the landlord, Mr. Hildick. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. W. G. Lewis, presided. On his right the two Members were seated, Mr. W. Gammon, jun., was vice-president. At the other table Mr. I. Aaron acted as chairman, and Mr. Randles as vice. On the right and left of Mr. Aaron were seated Mr, Clement Scholefield and Mr. Aurelius Attwood. Died at Tuckingmill, near Camborne, Cornwall, Robert Moreton, aged 77. Mr. Moreton was born near the celebrated mountain, " Devil's Peak," in Derbyshire, and served on board the navy in his early years, when he was a shipmate of his present Majesty, and was engaged in the action between the British fleet under Lord Rodney and the French fleet under Count de Grasse, in 1712, when the former ob taTed a complete victory, capturing the French Admiral's ship Ville de .Paris, and several others.—Plymouth Herald.

M. SUTTON, COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. The new grand Opera of Lestocq, or the Fate of the Her. mitage, bids fair to eclipse even the splendours of Gustavus The productions of Auber have deservedly obtained great and lasting popularity in this country, and it' was therefore with no surprise, but with much satisfaction, that we beheld on Saturday night one of the largest audiences ever congre gated within the walls of Covent Garden Theatre, for the ourpose of passing judgment on the last composition of tin French maestro. Mr. Bunn is the translator of the Frencl piece, and it is under his sole controul and management that the present version, under the title of Lestocq, or the Fete qi the Hermitage, has been produced. The adaptation of the .nusic has been the task of Mr. T. Cooke. The incidents of the opera are founded on the following facts, which belong to history, and are set forth in the published programme of the tongs :—" Lestocq was the son of a French surgeon, who, being a Protestant, had quitted his native country upon tin. revocation of the Treaty of Nantz, and settled in Hanover. There Lestocq was born, and educated for his father's pro fession. In 1713 he went to Russia, where he obtained the appointment of surgeon to Peter the First. He seems after wards to have fallen into disgrace, and to have been banished to Kazan, but was recalled after the death of Peter, and was appointed surgeon to the Princess Elizabeth. In the intrigues which ensued, lie appears to have been the partizan of Eliza beth, whose confidence he had obtained, and on whose behalf he entered into negotiations with the French Ambassadbr, Chetardie, by whom the monies necessary for carrying on the plot against the reigning sovereign were furnished. /Ulm having periled more than once the enterprise in which he was engaged, by his indiscretion and frivolity, his councils at length determined the Princess Elizabeth to adopt the bold step which seated her on the throne. Lestocq's immediate reward for his services was the appointment of first physician, with the no minal rank of Privy Councillor, which he held till the year 1748. He was then doomed to experience sad reverses, was deprived of his offices, impeached, sentenced to banit.hmeet. underwent the disgrace of the knout, and remained in exile till 1762, when he was recalled by Peter the Third upon that monarch's accession to the throne of Russia. He died in great wretchedness in 1767 ; but it is right to observe that the title of Count was conferred upon him in 1732, by Augustus the Second, which title he retained in all his misfortunes." In giving the above historical outline the analysis of the plot is nearly included. The opera concludes with the success of the conspiracy, and a little episode is added to the progress of the revolution by making the Princess Elizabeth (Miss Shirreff) attached to Dimetri ( Wilson,) a Captain in the Novogorod regiment, which attachment is, however, unknown to tb . : officer himself, who has, indeed, long loved Eados•fa ( Miss Betts) married by force to Count Golopin (Giubelei) a mem ber of the Council of Regency. Lestocq, who is a perfect Machiavel, employs all the characters, wish whom he is thrown into contact, as instruments t4l accomplish his daring act of placing Elizabeth on the throne of the Czars, and by his pre sence of mind and consummate skill the passions of the vari ous individuals in the scene are all rendered subservient to the success of his enterprize. He thus works upon the mind of Stroloff, (Duruset,) Master of the Post, and Serf to Golehin, who has a pendiont for Catherine, th e a tt en d ant of Eudosia. Zeßtee9--by intriguing with the officers of the different regiments--obtains their aid in the hour of battle, and—whether in the Court, the camp, the ball, or the Concert-room, the mastemnind Is always on the work. Scribe, to judge front this libretto, appears to have an attach ment to conspiracies. Bertrand et Raton, Lestocq, and Ilia saniello all treat of conspiracies transacted in " sweet sounds." The overture is ref - 1141 . 1401y spirited, with very skilful transitions, :and of a right military stamp. The concluding movement was replete with force and originality. It was vehemently ap plauded and unanimously encored. The first act passes at the hostelry of the Golden Eagle, a scene which partakes more of reality than of the picturesque, The opening chorus of Offi cers is very animated, and the assistance of Mr. Wilson is extremely valuable in its execution. A duet, " How sweet to pass," &c., between Lestocq and Eli za b et h h as a charming change, and the finale of this act contains some admirablo spe cimens of the neat style and finished instrumentation of Auber. Thus the duett between Eudosiet and Dimetri, commencing " Farewell, farewell," is MI of tenderness, and was very nicely done by Wilson and Miss Betts. We think, however, the succeeding trio, New perils now await," which was began by Giubelei with fine taste and correct intonation, is the bijou of the first act. The bacchanalian chorus is taken from the concluding movement of the overture, and was much admired. It struck us that the next song of Lestocq, " Drink to those, &c.," had been written for a tenor, although the fine science of H. Phillips rendered it effective. The remaining passa ges of the finale were characteristic and sufficiently marked to show the conflicting feelings of the different characters. The grouping at the termination of the act, with the varied cos tume, from the wretched garb of the Russian peasant to the courtly attire of the Royal personage, were all in good con trast. The second act begins in a pavilion in the Summer Palace. The song of Catherine, " Young Ivan," &c., re minded us of an old Irish air ; it was exquisitely sung by Miss H. Cawse, and was honoured with a call for repetition, good humouredly complied with, and relished still more from the natural expression of she singer. The next duo, between Catherine and Lestocq, is very graceful, and was encored with enthusiasm. This will be a standing call we are inclined to think, and although we had some reminiscence of the Grego rian chaunt, and an old English air suggested by the phrases, we are not at all disinclined to hear it again and again. H. Phillips executed his share of it with great archness. We cannot refrain from requesting our readers, who will as a mat ter of course take an opportunity of hearing the duet, to pay attention to the accompaniments. They are most splendid. The quintett, " Oh, pretty little Muscovite," did not please us. Mr. H. Phillips's portion of it is too high for his voice. The trio, " Young sorrow bath prest," &c., has some very admirable accompaniments, and will, no doubt, improve upon acquaintance. The song of Lestocq. " Woman, to thy sense appealing," went off flatly. The air of Dimetri, " Oh, gentle love," &c., will gain upon the town. Wilson did full justice to the touching melody which pervaded it throughout, and had a narrow escape of being compelled to repeat it. Giubelei and Miss H. Cawse were very successful in the duet, " The truth at once disclose ;" and the remainder of tho music of this act is of a dramatic character, and will from time to time be found to abound in fervent inspirations, as an elevated thought, or an energetic situation is to be expressed. The Fete of the Her mitage, which winds up the second act, in the Imperial Sa loon, is the most magnificent scene ever attempted on any stage. The illuminated crystal columns, the vast perspective. the noble balconies forming the boundaries of, where the 7 - i ngs as the side scenes in theatrical language are den ^ .,:ninated, the elevated galleries crowded with spectators, tile central space of which is occupied with a full military band, a carpet of deli cate colours spread over the whole surface of the stage and extending to the foot lights ; the myriads of chandeliers, lights, &c., form altogether a transeendant ensemble, which appears to us to set at defiance any future attempts to exceed the dis play of beauty and effect of the splendour embodied on this oc casion. The loud and long-euntinued cheering of the audi ence was a just acknowledgement of the triumph of the pain ter, of the neeohanist, and of the magician who conjured this "eastern epitome of the luxuriant and the classical." We have left ourselves little room to write of the musical beauties of third act ; hut the scene of Miss Betts, " 'Tis midnight's thoughtful hour," was a redeeming piece of music for a vocalist of any pretensions. The maat scene was of a most imposing kind, and but few an accident of the lights being extinguished from a strong firing of musketry, the denouement would have been hailed with the mile demonstrations of applause which had attended the progress of the whole opera. Whatever de fects might have existed, the future representations will doubt less remedy, and we prognosticate a brilliant career to Lestocq. As a spectaclp It is unrivalled, The receipts in money at Covent-garden Theatre on Saturday evening to witness the first representation of Lestocq, far exceeded the amount taken on any other evening during the preF,cnt season. More than two hundred persons, who (Auld not obtain room in the pit at first price, went intc the boxes. MISS FANNY KEMBLE.---We have seen a letter from a gentleman in. New York, which communicates that Mrs. Butler is in that state that ladies " wish to be who love their lords." Charles Kean, the actor, has been extremely attrac tive in the Dublin Theatre, The Lord Lieutenant commanded Massinger's play of A New Way to pay Old Debts, in which Kean personated Sir Giles Overreach ; at the end of the play a flattering compliment was sent by his Excellency to the young aspirant. Kean has left Dublin to fulfil his various en gagements at Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Theatricals are said to be reviving in Dublin. We are sorry to learn that Miss Romer, who has recently so rapidly improved, and who produced so strong and so lasting an impression in La Somnambula, has somewhat suddenly quitted the united companies of Drury-lane and Covent-garden and at her own instance. She was in the re ceipt of a salary considerably above the maximum, so that she will be a great loser by her determination. She will be a severe loss to the operatic department. We do not know a young lady on the boards whose reputation was more rapidly advancing.— Olwrppr, A new production is in preparation at Drury-lane, founded upon Sir Walter Scott's noel of " Old Mortality," on which the management is disposed to expend largely both in money and trouble. Ward and Walla°lt have parts in it, and those who know the original (and who does not?) will be easily able to assign them, as no new characters of any promi nence are introduced. It is expected that the King's Theatre will open for the season on Saturday, the 7th of March. Mr. Laporte is now on his return from Vienna, where he has enga ge d a ta lented Prima Donna for the commencement of the s'a: son . On Saturday a selection Of 1.11 "'..1 - c was performed on the Apollonicon, b' Mr. Mather, the organist of St. Bride's, who preside. at this instrument during the illness of Mr. Purkis; consisting of some favourite compositions by Haydn, Mozart, Rossini, Auber, Weber, Bishop, \Vade, and A. Lee ; the whole of which was given in a style which renders it unne cessary to particularize, and was received by a numerous and respectable audience by repeated plaudits. We believe that many thousands of persons have been led to visit Manchester and Liverpool, from London and other places, solely for the purpose of passing along the Rail way there, and witnessing the novelty of this rapid mode of conveyance. We expect the inhabitants of the Metropolis will shortly have an opportunity of gratifying their curiosity in a more convenient way than going nearly 200 miles, as we find that the first locomotive engine for the Greenwich Railway is arrived from the manufacturer's in the country, and is now erecting on the works at Corbett's-lane, Bermondsey.

CORN EXCHANGE. Last week there were abundant arrivals of all sorts of Grain, and a considerable return of Flour. The trade continued very dull throughout. This morning, on account of the boisterous state of the weather, the suppiies are moderate. The trade for fine Wheat remains the same as last week; for all other descriptions of Grain, the trade is very dull. Barley, if fine for malting, maintains the last week's quotations. for all other sorts there is a slow sale. Bea:is support the currency of last week. Boiling Pease mck very little de. mand,—Grey are unaltered. There has not been much busi.. ness transacted in the Oat trade to-emy, and last week's terms hardly maintained. The Flour trade continues very dull., and top-price remains without variation. Nheat, Red (old, White (o --Red O&M -Fins Superti Superti Wh to (it Fine ...

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET-Feb.2l. Our farmers' supply of Wheat to-day was large and sales dull at the annexed quotations. There still continues a good demand for Oats, and that grain went off readily, though with little variation from the prices of last Saturday. The supply of Barley from the North continues liberal, and the best par cels of which sell at 325. per quarter ; this makes the south country parcels neglected, and only the finest qualities are in any request at our quotations. Malt and Rye without change. Beans and Pease sell readily. Flour continues dull. New.

MIL T N.—On Friday, among other manuscripts, were sold by Sotheby and Son, for 251., the " Album Amico rum" of Can-tilt) ardoyni, a Neapolit an , settled at Geneva in the part of the 17th century. This very interesting vo- Lume contains the Autographs of numerous Englishmen of dis. tinction, as well as foreigners, from the year 1608 to 1671, but the major part from 1630 to 1640. Among them are the illustrious names of Berkeley, Fane, Pagett, Wentworth, Killigrew, &c. ; but one also of higher interest, and sot less. illustrious—that of John Milton, who has written the two last lines of Comus and a Latin distich, with the date of June 10, 1639, at which time he was at Geneva, on his return from Italy. It seems probable that Camillo Cardoyni, though a. noble, received travellers in his house, and taught them French and Italian. He was addressed by some of his friends " Hos,. piti moo:" by others, " Prwceptore suo." To the name , one Englishman, Edmund Batty, 1637, the following ele~int lea are prefixed:— • \i` - 44 when we expecf Our blise, time creeps : but things Call to enjoy, each sawcie ho: . usually eekr4t.
