W e are g l a d at a ll events to find that Mr. POTTE R a d m itt e d th a t it was not sat i sfac- attitude of the Oppositi on i s one th a t th rea t ens tory for the wor kin g - men t o cont i nue t hi s agitation again to involve the subj ec t i n a p ar ty squa bbl e , instead of letting it a s sume it s right place as a grea t which they had l ong h e ld f or th e i r r i g h ts, but he did not make out a ver y c l ear case in national question. his attempt to show that the bill of last year was more liberal and went further than the present plan before Parliament. They had accepted the Reform measure of 1866 because they thought it one in the right direction ; and if it did not give all that was wanted, it recognised the claims of the working classes, and showed an honest desire to meet them. We really do not see why the same latitude should not be given to the bill of 1867, but now there are nice distinctions to be drawn, and intricate questions to be solved, and hence we learn that, although desirous of seeing the question settled this year, they did not " believe the party in power could deal with it, or would deal with it, without trickery, and in such a manner as to give them a good measure of reform." How absurd and unrea sonable it is to talk in this fashion, and how simple people must be to be taken in by it. We expect Mr. POTTER would be puzzled if called upon to analyse his words, and define where honesty ended and trickery began in the compilation of schemes of Reform. Distance has lent enchantment to the view, and the bill of last year appears in glaring colours to dim the lustre and darken the prospects of the present one ; and Mr. POTTER has made the extraordinary dis covery that Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposition of last year would have admitted to the franchise two hundred and sixteen thousand, bui the Tory Government will only enfranchise one hundred thou sand. Now, a measure which admits of household suffrage, and fall so far short of a scheme which retained the borough franchise at six pounds, is, in deed, rather strange, but justice and fairness are quite put aside when these particular orators get into the ascendant. We think that it would have been a little more in character for the deputation to let Mr. GLADSTONE stand on his own merits, and not to de clare that they trusted to him to advocate their rights and secure to them their jest claims in regard to the lodger franchise, when the said franchise was years ago proposed by the party now in power, and vehe mently opposed by those now called upon to de mand it, if not by Mr. GLADSTONE himself. Is there nothing original that the Liberal party can lay claim to that it is deemed expedient to turn the plans of their opponents for them to make a virtue of on their own account. But Mr. POTTER goes on to say that they felt it their duty to go on holding meetings and demon strations in order to strengthen the hands of the right hon. gentleman and the great Liberal party who acted with him in this cause. The Atlantic cable tells us that President JOHN SON has vetoed the supplement to the Reconstruc tion Bill, passed by the House of Representatives on the 11th inst. ; and it adds the further intelli gence, which we might easily have anticipated, that Congress has passed the bill over the Presidential veto. It will be remembered that this bill directs the Southern district commanders appointed under the Reconstruction Bill to cause the registration before the Ist of September of all male citizens of legal age qualified to vote under the recent Con gressional enactment; that is to say, excluding all who have taken any part in or shown any sympathy with the rebellion from the privilege of voting. Consequently the representation of the Southern States would be virtually a representation of the negroes or their self-chosen leaders. When this registration of duly qualified citizens is completed, the commander shall cause an election to take place within thirty days for delegates to form State representation. Mr. JOHNSON having objected to the bill was not likely to approve of the supple ment, neither was it probable that Congress would would be influenced by his decision. The form of reading the veto and of overriding it has now be come a recognised feature of American politics, and the wise precautions of earlier statesmen against_ the abuse of either legislative or executive power have been completely defeated by the dominance of one extreme and unscrupulous party. Louisiana, it seems, is not inclined to submit patiently to the new manoeuvres. The State Legis lature has appointed a committee to protest against the Reconstruction Bill, and there is some agitation respecting the conduct of the Governor. Charges of usurpation have been brought against him for declaring certain voters of Louisiana to be disquali fied by the Bill, and the elections which were to take place in Louisiana have been postponed till special instructions be received from Washington. Virginia has also protested against the unconstitu tionality of the obnoxious measure, and the negroes are giving very plain evidence of the danger of in trusting them with sudden political power. The negroes of Williamsburg have refused to pay the rental of the property occupied by them, and have threatened armed resistance to the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau, who have, in consequence, ap plied for military interference. A negro regiment, after attending a Radical meeting in Richmond, paraded the streets, carrying arms. This is a bad beginning, and if the Radicals stir up the inflam mable passions of the blacks into open collision with the whiter, while the latter are smarting under the irritation of their political degradation, they will have much to answer for. Those who stir up a riot for their own party ends can never guarantee that they can control its excesses, and this is especially the case in dealing with the wild, undisciplined negroes of the Southern States. Meanwhile-in Congress affairs are much the same. The Senate has not yet agreed to the adjournment proposed by the lower House. This adjournment is till the Bth of May, and is intended to allow time for some of the pending elections. Even the Radi cals feel that the existing state of things has an awkward appearance. Eighteen States are unre- If they do so they will not be really representing the wishes and sentiments of the nation at large, which desires that the question of Reform shall be settled at once, and not made the stalking-horse of party and the stepping -stone to place and power any longer. Over and over again the great Liberal party has been given its chances, but it has thrown them away, and common sense and justice alike prove that they should not be allowed the monopoly of the question any longer. They have been permitted to shelve it when in office, and to make it the excuse to get into power when in opposition ; but those days are past, never, we hope, to return for their own credit and the good of their country. Another thing that is inconsistent in this speech of Mr. POTTER'S is that he seems to dread the results of a general election. The Tories, he said, would seek to evade the question, and throw the countryinto all-the turmoil and confusion of a general election. "It needed no arguments from him to point out how detrimental to the best interests of the country at large this course would be to the working classes, parti cularly it would be troublesome, as they would have to continue their. agitation." If the Reform measure now submitted to Parliament be such a specimen of trickery and deceit as they would have us believe, we should say that the deputation should rejoice at the prospect of the deceit being exposed, and the country being allowed to judge for itself and decide upon its merits. Finally, Mr. POTTER declared that they trusted to Mr. GLADSTONE not to let the question of Reform be passed over in an unsatisfactory manner, because they had rather wait for another year, until the right hon. gentleman himself came into power, than have an unsatisfac tory scheme now. presented and nineteen represented in Congress, and the attempt of the nineteen to legislate for the eighteen is a little too audacious to be acceptable. In, other matters, hoiever, the House of Represen tatives does , not show much improvement. The abuse of the PRESIDENT is as unsparing as ever, Mr. ASHLEY, a prominent Radical, in his motion for ira- peachment the other day, having coolly accused him of complicity in the assassination of his prede censor, and of turning the White House into a den of thieves. " Fortunately for mankind," added the speaker, " such men are born in the world but once in centuries to curse the human race." This was rather too strong for ears accustomed to the habitual intemperance of American political harangues, and accordingly a reminder from the Speaker arrested the flow of Mr. ASIILET'S eloquence. But he did not want supporters, and Mr. BUTLER, as the hero of Big Buthel is now styled, and FERNANDO WOOD very soon rivalled the first speaker in the violence of their language and the extravagance of their abuse. We cannot seriously accept such conduct as indicative of the wishes and feelings of the great Mr. GLADSTONE, in his reply, allowed his irritation to be very apparent. He said that he did not despair of a measure of Reform being settled this year, because the House of Commons seemed now inclined to do what they did not do last year, and sacrifice comfort and repose to settle the matter. Whatever were the faults committed last session we do not think that idleness or indifference to the question need be laid to the charge of hon. mem bers, but perhaps the right bon. gentleman is the best judge of the matter, or thinks so at any rate. " But," he added, " this was a part which would have to be looked after sharply." With all due re spect to Mr. GLADSTONE, we must say that he would do better in this case if he were not quite so "sharp" about it. While he and his friends wished to have the matter settled they could not agree to anything American people. Much latitude must necessarily be given when party disputes have risen to such a height as they have done during the crisis of affairs in the States, especially as the Americans have never adopted that wise restriction of speech and conduct which our own Parliament so strictly ob- serves. But the virulence and unscrupulous abuse directed against the chief authority in the country is something very different from a dignified and constitutional opposition to a policy believed to be injurious or mistaken. The temper shown towards the South is something quite inconsistent with the principles of broad and enlightened statesmanship, which are nowhere more needed than among a vast and varied population like that of America, embracing so many rival interests, so many different tones of temper and of feeling. The busy grasping people of the northern cities, the agricul turists of the fertile western plains, the old traditional families of the Southern plantations, how can all these be fairly and freely governed by a party that will only listen to one side? The principle of caucus is a favourite one with the Radical leaders, who arrange the whole scheme of Government behind closed doors, and put a stop to inconvenient discus sion when open debates are going on by moving the previous question. It is only by a rare favour or some fortunate chance that any of the Democrats can speak. The new members who have entered Congress under the delusion that it is a place for free discussion find themselves grievously mistaken. Mr. MILL'S doctrine of the representation of mino rities is very far from being accepted by the Radical party. The Radicals meet in caucus, and decide what shall be done and not done—the opposite side have nothing to do but to submit. They are allowed indeed the privilege of making speeches on particu lar days when it is against the rule to bring forward resolutions, so that the most vigorous speech is vox et pretzrea nihil. It is not to be supposed that all the Northern public aro disposed to approve of such a course, but, thanks to themselves, there is no way of checking the arrogance of the Radicals. That a Legislative Assembly should be entirely under the rule of one party is a contradiction in terms, and the solecism is increased by the refusal of the dominant .faction to permit discussion. It is no fault of the American Constitution, Republican though it be, that the affairs of the country should be settled after this fashion, which, in truth, partakes more of the charac ter of a despotism than of a Republic.- If the whole of the Statei were represented, 'as under the Co nstitution of the Union they must be faany com prehensive or national legislation, the minoritywould be strong enough at least to obtain a hearing, and to put a curb on the reckless arrogance of an un scrupulous faction. What the promised recess will bring forth remains to be seen, but we fear that when it comes to the point Congress will be averas to even a temporary surrender of its power.

It appears from the calculations of the Italian journals that of the 450 elections of which the result is known the number of Independent and Opposition members is 225 ; Ministerialists, 151 ; Mountain, 74. It is difficult, however, to form an exact opinion, as there are are a great many new members whose political opinions are not known.

Real news having been a scarce article for the last few days the fabricators of sensation reports have been hard at work. Here is a summary of the canards which have been in circulation :—General Fleury was said to have left Vienna on an impor tant mission, involving peace or war. The Rus sians were said to have passed the Pruth. An Austrian army had • been sent to the frontiers of Turkey, and Russian troops had concentrated in Volhynia and Podolia. Another report was that England and France had come to an understanding to protect Holland against any attempt on the part of Prussia to annex Luxembourg. This, how ever, was coupled with a report that Prussia had consented to cede Luxembourg to France upon certain conditions.. Although there was nofoundation for these reports they had their effect at the Bourse in producing various fluctuations4and that was palp ably the object of the inventors. The Minister of net Interior, the Marquis de la; Valette, has issued a . . Circular to the local authori ties, strongly condethning the riotous conduct of the , workmen of Roubaix, and expressing the determi nation of the Government to prevent them, but at the same time intimating its desire to support the just claims both of masters and men. Some of the rioters will be imprisoned for five years. The new constructions at the Prefecture of police have led to the demolition of many old un sightly houses. A curious specimen of the architec ture of the reign of Henry the Second has, however, been preserved intact. It is a stone arcade erected to connect the ancient - hotel of Harley, with the wing of the building facing the Quai des Orfevres. Its execution proves the attention which was made to the smallest details of edifices in the 16th cen tury. The decorations of the tympana of the arches and the accuracy of the sculpture evince the talent of the architects of the time. The initial of Diana de Poictiers is alternated with that of Henry the Second, thus affording a sure indication of the date of the construction. Two enormous cannon have been cast at the Im perial cannon foundry at Ruelle for the Great Exhibition. They are the most enormous speci mens of this instrument of war to be seen in the world, and much exceed the production of American artillerymen. Each cannon is more than 36,000 kilogrammes in weight, that is to say more than double that number of English pounds. The operation attracted a large number of artillery officers and eminent individuals. At a given signal five immense furnaces were opened, and the liquid metal ran in torrents into the moulds. The work, which only lasted four minutes and a half, was perfectly successful. A magnificent bouquet ornamented with ribands was immediately hoisted in token of the triumph. The village of Ferioli, on the banks of Lake 'Major, in Switzerland, has, from some hitherto in explicable cause, crumbled into ruins, which were precipitated into the lake. The village is a gulf. At a depth of 40 metres the soundings did not touch any substance. Seventeen persons are known to have perished, and it is feared that the number of victims will prove to be greater. It appears from the official records which are kept that the consumption of horseflesh as human food is geeatly on the increase in France. At Paris there aro now fifteen . , hutoherS' shops where it is sold. From sixty to seventy horses are slaughtered every week, and there are fonr restau rants devoted exclusively to epicures in horse-meat. As-to the provinces, the towns which have joined in the horseflesh movement are Nancy, MOulhouse, Cambrai, Amiens, Bayeux, Valenciennes, St. Quentin, and Peroune, and it is believed that many other towns are about to follow the example. It may not be generally known that it was the founder of the Garden of Acclimitation, M. Isidore Geoffroy St. Helaine, a man of scientific attain ments, who first suggested a resort to horseflesh. He contends that it is nourishing and wholesome. One of the Paris papers, which is an earnest advo cate for the use of horseflesh, calculates that at present 4,000 horses upon the average are slaughtered,furnisting3,2oo,ooo half-pound rations. It ascribes the prejudice against horseflesh to " routine, the most terrible enemy to innovations and progress," and recalls to the aid of its argu ment the historical fact that at one time a French man would not eat the delicate turkey. When Charles the Ninth, after his marriage, was invited to a banquet by the municipality of Mezieres, turkeys were for the first time served at table in France. Neither the king nor his courtiers would touch the savoury bird, but it is not said whether the aldermen of the town gave better proof of knowing what is good. The Chambers have lately occupied exclusively the attention of the political world, but there is no lack of noteworthy items in connection with art, literature, and music. Leonard, a first-rate violinist, and his wife, a charming singer, attract largo audi ences to the Salle Hertz. The new piece, " Les Brebis Galeuses," in spite of the somewhat repulsive title and adverse criticism, furnishes good receipts at the Varietas ; and Francisque Sarcey, at the Athenasum, continues his interesting criticisms and illustrations of the works of Alexander Dumas, jun. Therese, the renowned .Cafd Concert singer, has left for Nice to gather fresh laurels and more golden Napoleons, in company with Honorine, the prima donna of the Palais Royal. A musical mass, by Prince Poniatowski, with cornets-a-piston, has been executed at the church of St. Eustache. Alexandre ' Ja ya, an advocate at the Cour Imperiale, has started a journal to bet devoted•to reports of trials at the tribunals, called the Causes Celebres. Victor Hugo is engaged upon a work to be called " Paris a Hundred Years Hence." A second edition is an nounced of Latow St. Pybai's " Life of Nero." As to music, the prizes to be given at the grand compe tition concerts at the Exhibition in July will be 20 gold medals ; grand prix of 5,000 f., 3,000 f., 2,000 f., and I,ooof. ; medals of merit, &c. The value of the prizes altogether will be 50,000 f. At the picture sale last week the " Cuirassiers of Waterloo" rea lised 12,250 f. " The Guard dies, but does not sur render," 1 0,950 f. An episode of the return from the Island of Elba, 4,000 f. Episode of the " Retreat from Russia," 6,000 f. The "Defile after the Vic tory" (episode- of the battle of Wagram), 1;400f. Last, and least, the picture of the Queen of Eng land going from Treport to the Chateau d'Eu, was sold for the sum of 125 f. only. These pictures aro PARIS, Friday Evening. The Moniteur, in its Bulletin, says :—" The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has received from Vice-Admiral Baron de la Ronciere le Noury the following despatch, dated Vera Cruz, March 16th, and New Orleans, the 20th:—' The entire evacuation of the French troops has been completed without any accident. Marshal Bazaine left on the 12th. I shall leave to-day with all the ships de tained for the last two days by a violent northerly wind. The Phlegeton will remain on the station here. The troops are in good health. Order reigns in the town. There is no news from Mexico.' " Prince Stirbey has arrived in Austria, charged with the presentation of an official letter from Prince Charles, notifying to the Emperor his ac cession to power in the Danubian Principalities. After having given a very gracious reception to the the Emperor presented him w ith theß o grandum a in Envoy,c o rdon of the order 'of Francis Joseph. In addition to the presentation of the letter, Prince Stirbey is charged with the mission of regulating with Austria the relations between the two countries, and to negotiate treaties of commerce and extradi ditions. Acccording to the correspondence from Buenos lAyres, in the Moniteur, the insurrectional movements in the provinces . of Mendoza, San LUia, San Juan, and La Rioja have not yet been suppressed. Never theless, General Pannero, who.had been prevented by the insurrection from continuing, his march towards Mendoza, the chief seat'Of the disturbances, had defeated a body of insurgents whO had attacked him in his retrograde movement, with the intention of regaining the city of El Rip Quarto to obtain reiuforcements detached from the army of the Allies. It is now definitively fixed that the ceremony of the inauguration of the Great Exhibition shall take place on the Ist of April next. The prizes awarded to exhibitors will be distributed'o n the Ist of July. The commissioners supply all possible information as to the details. The first spring meeting at Vincennes will take place next Sunday. On the following Sunday 3,000 f. ; P r i x d e (March 31) the following will be the ord er o f t h e Prix de la Pyra ir,aEcnies : —Prix snide (French jockeys), 3000 f. It appears from the German p T ): D i ti o re ,o ll o e 6f.; Te P ur riz (ha d n e di i ca a papers that the news of the conclusion of the defensive and offensive treaty of alliance between Prussia and Baden, which I have mentioned, has created intense sensa tion in Germany. The Sleds thus refers to the sub ject : " What is the meaning of this treaty ? Why was this moment chosen for its publication ? What signifies the following singular commentary upon the subject by the Bavarian Gazett e " 'We do not share in the fear that the publica tion of this treaty will interrupt the friendly rela tions of Germany with foreign countries, and parti cularly with France. We even believe that this publication, considered as a necessary consequence of the principle of nationalities, so generally accepted in this country, will be received as a proof of the union between the German Governments, and consequently as a guarantee of peace." The Austrian journals do not seem to be very uneasy about treaties which they do not consider to be contrary to the stipulations entered into at Prague. Austria will not trouble herself much about the arrangement which transfers in case of need the chief command of the troops to the King of Prussia. She will only protest in the case of a complete fusion of the States of the South with those of the North. In such a case she will be a little too late." It appears that the recovery of theltnperial Prince from his illness was delayed by the formation of a second abscess in the leg which was very snccees fully probed by Dr. Nekton. The Prince who at the first operation consented to be placed under the influence of chloroform, at the earnest request of his mother, requested Dr. &Stott' to operate on the second occasion without it. His only anxiety seemed to be that the Empress, whose fears he was afraid of exciting, should not be informed of the painful operation to which he was about to be sub jected. The operation did not last very long ; but during the whole time the Prince exhibited a firm ness and courage much beyond what might be ex pected at his age. I hea r to-day that the young Prince is almost entirely recovered. The fever has quite left him. M. Benedetti, the French Ambassador at Berlin, has left Paris for the former capital, being anxious to be present at th e anniversary of the birthday of the King of Prussi a , which occurs to-day. The Emperor and E mpress visited the Exhibition again on Wednesday, and expressed great satisfac lion at the wonderful progress of the works. There are more strange atmospherical perturba tions. Last night it was excessively cold, and early this morning the rain eame down with unusual vio lence and abundance. Up to mid-day it was ex cessively cold. The sun broke forth about that time, and during this afternoon it has been very bright and warm. On Sunday last, an old woman, residing in a village in the department of Isere, was struck by lightning as she was leaving the church. Death was instantaneous. During the Exhibition letterswill be sent between London and Paris, by Dover and Calais, three times a day, instead of twice, as at present. The French Government yacht Jerome Napo leon, Captain Dubnisson, has left Havre for Cher bourg, from which latter port, it is said, it will soon sail for England. The object of the visit is not mentioned. the production of M. Hippolyte l3ellange, recently deceased. He was a pupil of David. The Abbe Listz has just completed a mass, which will be performed at the coronation of the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary. Listz will himself conduct the orchestra. M. Alexandre Dumas, jun., has written a drama, with the title of "Les Idees de Madame Aubray." The rain fell in great violence during almost all last night, but the weather has again become very warm. There were several rather heavy showers during the day. • The opening of the Agricultural Exhibition, at Billancourt, a few miles from Paris, is fixed for the Ist of April, but it will be somewhat cur tailed of its fair proportions in consequence of the determination of the Government not to allow any Mdlle. Marguerite Elisabeth Erard, the daughter of M. Erard, the founder of the well-known piano forte establishments in London and Paris, died last week at the chateau of La Muette, Passy, in her 96th year. Mdlle. Erard was the sister of Madame Spontini, wife of the composer of "La Vestale." She is reported to have died worth some millions of francs. A new oyster bed of excellent natives, it is said, his been discovered near Port-in-Bassin, in the vicinity of CJaerbourg. In consequence of the death of M. thiill=t) M, Ath. Coquerel, the oldeit minister of the Protestant Church of Paris, has been appointed President of the Consistory ad interim. The King of Prussia has ordered his Minister of Public Worship to adcpt measures for the recon struction at Berlin of a cathedral for evangelical service upon the site of the present cathedral. It will be of such an imposing character as to form the principal edifice for that class of worship in Prussia. A gentleman of 35 celebrated his birthday a few days ago with some friends, and so well did " good digestion wait on appetite" that, on proceeding home along the Boulevard Sebastopol, he sat down on a bench and was soon in a sound sleep. So sound, indeed, was his sleep that he did not wake till three o'clock in the morning. lie then felt rather chilly, which well might be, for some skilful thieves had left him no other clothing than his shirt. The loss was not confined to his clothes, but a well filled purse was taken with them. After a little reflection he thought it best to proceed on his way home, in spite of the unfinished state of his toilette. Some police-officers met him on his way and gave him the hospitality of the station, and lent him some clothes. They then conducted him safely home to his lodgings. A sarcophagus has been discovered in the church of Graville, supposed to be that of Sainte ilonorine de Melamave, martyrised by the Pagans ef Julio bona (Lillebonne) in the year of Jesus Christ 303, whose body was conveyed to Conflans in 1840. There the remains of the sainted lady were deposited, and the church of Graville was erected to protect them from the profanations of the men of the North. During some repairs of the fountain of Nismes the workmen have* discovered a very ancient and beautiful piece of mosaic pavement. It is splen did in design and very: rich in. colour. The compaitments are of geometric proportioh and exe cuted very artistically.. In the square in the, centre is a figure supposed to be that of Jupiter. The municipality of Nismes intend to restore this magni ficent mosaic, and to place it in one of the public edifices, or in the Museum, which is now very rich in antiquities. A woman residing at Usseau, Deux Seves, who has for some time been effected with mental aliena tion, has come to a melancholy end. In the middle of the- night she called to her husband, who slept in an adjoining room, to come to bed to her, saying she would not hurt him. He went into the room and sat down on the chair. He was scarcely seated when the wife got out of bed and fired a pistol at his face, but as it was only charged with powder he did not receive much injury. lie rushed out of the room, fearing some other attack from the desperate woman. On his return with his brother-in-law soon afterwards he was astonished to find that his wife had left her bed. They found her lying dead in an adjoining barn. Near her was a bottle, which no doubt had been full of brandy, and it is supposed that she drank it off at a single draught. Death must have taken place in a few minutes from con gestion of the brain. In the hamlet of Parti, near Lyons, a cow has given birth to calf with no hair except on the belly, and instead of horns there are only two tufts of hair on the head. A local journal recommends farmers to take care of cows born without horns, and to en deavour to propagate tho race, as their milk is better, and they possess other advantages. This race, it says, increases in England, Switzerland, and Normandy. Some excitement has been created in Paris by the discovery in the Seine of a mutilated body of a man of from 20 to 25. The head, arms, and legs have been severed from the trunk. The surgeons con sider that the trunk has been about 48 hours in the water. The Procureur Imperial and the Juge d'ln. struction, of Versailles, are engaged in elucidating the particulars of the crime, and no 'doubt is enter tained that there has been a foul and terrible mur der. The portion of the remains which has been found has been interred in the cemetery of Argen teuil. L A TEST INTEL LIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, March 24.

It was a vigorous and incisive reply, full of sharp thrust. Under the mask of impassive and almost imbecile vacancy which he draws over his face while he endures attacks from all sides, Mr. Disraeli's intellect evidently works more brilliantly than in way cudructive efforts. HER MAJEETY, dtc• I RURY LANE THEATRE. Mr. Harrison undertook the part of Francis Osbaldistone, which was originally assigned to Mr. Sims Reeves, and sang the songs with such effect all to gain continued and repeated applause. The Dougal creature was played by Mr. M'lntyre in a most remarkable manner; he presented a vivid por trait of the wild, weird, and , faithful Highlander. The Helen Macgregor ofiMisd Le Thiere was 'bold and dashing; her fine fortg and bearing adding much to the effect of the seems in which she was engaged. Mr. Edmund Phelps performed the un thankful part of Rashleigh Osbaldistone with care, and with a due appreciation of the requirements of the character. Miss Cross was encored in her solos, Mr. Harrison was encored in his ; and a duet was given with so much success by these two singers as to be in its tura redemanded. The overture, too, was called for a second time, and special marks of approbation were bestowed upon a harp solo performed by that accom plished professor, Mr. Frederick Chatterton. Im mense applause was called forth by the picturesque mountain scenery, by the animated representation of the meeting of the Macgregor clan, and by the spirited fight between Highlanders and the British troops ; but perhaps the greatest enthusiasm of all was excited by Mr. Harrison's singing of hi s well known and always successful ballad, " Oh, smile as thou wert wont to smile." " Rob Roy," to judge from the favour with which it was received on Saturday evening, might enjoy a run of 100 nights ; but its career can only be a limited one, for on Easter Monday Mr. Andrew Halliday's new and original play, entitled " The Great City," is to be produced. THE IRISH LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—We learn that consequent on Lord Chancellor Blackburno's resigna tion the following appointments have boon made :—Lord Chancellor, Mr. Brewster; Lord Justice of Appeal, Christian ; Judge o f th e C ommon Pleas, Mr. Morr i s ; Attorney-General, M r .

Judge HUNTINGDONSHIRE ELECTION.—Lord Robert Montagu having recently accepted the office of Vice-Pre sident of the Committee of Council on Education Will offer himself to his constituents to-day for re-election• There is no probability of any opposition. DEATH OF LADY GEORGIANA ELIZABETH ROMILLY. —We regret to announce the death of Lady Georgiene Romilly, which took place on Friday evening, at her resi dence in Wilton-place, after a few days' illness. The de ceased lady, who was the eldest daughter of John sixth Duke of Bedford, fifth daughter of Alexander, fourth Duke of Gordon, was born 23d June, 1810, and married, 13th January, 1842, Mr. Charles Romilly, clerk of the Crown in Chancery. Her ladyship was half sister.to the Earl Rus sell,, and sister of the Marchioness of Abercorn. By her death several families are placed in mourning. • The death is announ ce d of lkfr.

(to be conducted by the com poser). On the same evening Rossini's "Stabat Mater" will be given. Principal vocalists: Madame Lemmens- Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Cummings, and Mr. Weiss. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, NOTTING-HILL.—At half-past nine on Saturday night a fire was discovered in the above church, and within an hour the sacred edifice was a complete ruin. It was an iron structure, erected at a cost of £1,600 or £1,700 about four years ago for the accommodation of the well known Kensington Potteries, and was in every respect aseommo dious and elegant as iron churches can bo made. The building was left perfectly safe at five o'clock in the after noon. A light was observed about nine o'clock, but as this was no unfrequent occurrence it excited no surprise. A member of the choir, however, passing by, looked in, and saw the interior in flames. The engines were immediately sent for, and energetic efforts to save the building were made. The communion service, robes, books, &c., were quickly removed, and a considerable portion of the seating. The engines were promptly on the spot, but it is alleged were rendered useless from a want of water. The cause of the fire is unknown. The church was only partially insured, and the loss will fall heavily on a poor district. CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT .SAXMUNDIIAM.—A Conservative dinner was held at the Corn Exchange, Sax mundham, on Friday evening, in commemoration of the recent return of Mr. F. S. Corrance, the Conservative call didato tor East Suffolk. There were about 100 gentleman present. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. Long, of Hurst Hall, while Lieut.-Col.

The Queen arrived at Windsor Castle last even ing at a quarter before seven o'clock from Bucking ham Palace. Her Majesty was accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Henry of Prussia. In attendance were the Countess of Caledon, Major-Gen. the Hon. A. N. Hood, Col. the Hon. A. Harding°, Major Elphinstone, and Capt. Von Schroetter. The Queen, their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, and the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, attended Divine service in the private chapel this morning, The Bishop of Oxford preached the sermon. On Saturday an overflowing audience assembled to witness the revival of the favourite drama of " Rob Roy." The cast was remarkably strong ) and derived special interest from the fact that two of the chief characters were supported by performers new to London. Miss Cross, who has a fine voice and an expressive style of singing, appeared for the first time in the metropolis as Diana Vernon—a part she has been.in the habit of playing in the provinces with immense success while Mr. Powrie, ,as Rob Roy, impersonated for, the first time in London that very popular hero. Mr,Phelpa's assumption, Mord- - over, of the character of Bailie Nedjarvie, was a novelty, so far as the Drury-lane:audience were concerned. Then there was a new overture, the composition of Mr. Tully, there was new scenery, there were new dances ; while among the audience there was the old enthusiasm with which the romantic, semi-operatic,' and thoroughly Scottish play of " Rob Roy," whenever it is brought for ward with anything like the care bestowed upon its production by Mr. Chatterton, is always received. To Mr. Powrie, the new representative of Rob Roy, a very cordial greeting was accorded. This gentle man has made himself a reputation in Scotland in this character, and there he is considered the best living representative of the part. His first entrance on the stage on Saturday, dressed in the garb of a Lowlander, called forth a welcome which has seldom been exceeded. His great reception, however, was partially due to his appearance, which realised in the most remarkable manner the description of Macgregor so graphically given by Sir Walter Scott. Scene after scene he grew in greater favour, and the climax was reached when he appeared in the High land costume, in which he looked a perfect picture ; his manly, graceful, and bold bearing setting off to advantage his Macgregor tartan. Throughout the piece he played with a manliness, ease, discrimina tion, and force which stamps him as an actor of genuine talent. Mr. Phelps, as Bailie Nicol Jarvie, gave one of those remarkable delineations of eccentric character for which he is so well known. The scene in the Tolbooth was excellent, and his acting while in company with the major in the bothie was inimit able ; the audience was convulsed with laughter when be attacks the major and his dragoons with the red-hot poker, and totally routs the whole party. During the whole of his scenes the audience were in a constant state of hilarity, and applauded his efforts repeatedly.
