Wilson, Chemist, Meek Bar, York, " To Mr. Thomas Front, " 14th June, 1847. " Sin,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tl•ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

We have received by express from Marseilles the intelligence from India and china in anticipation of the Indian mail. The news is not of much importance. We extract the following summary from the Madras Athenmum of the 9th ult. : The accounts from the north-west during the month that has elapsed since we last wen► to press, have made a very scanty addition to our stock of information. Things aro settling down gradually, quietly, and orderly; the officers intrusted with the task of working the new political engine are at their posts, or on the way to them; lines are being marked out, barracks in course of erec tion, and the various arrangements requisite for holding and governing the newly-acquired province are all pro gressing towards completion. The details of these ne cessary, but uninteresting movements, we have fur nished in our other columns; among them, however, we find little or nothing that calls for prominent notice. It will be seen that " the Board of Ad ministration for the affairs of the Punjaub" has given evidence of vitality in the promulgation of general in structions for the guidance of the civil and military functionaries through whom the benefits of good govern ment are to be conveyed to the country of the Five Rivers. These instructions contain much wholesome advice and will, we trust, be zealously complied with by those to whom they are addressed; on whom they en join the importance of preventing everything as far as possible that can offend our new subjects and alienate them frcm our rule, and strongly urge the " necessity and policy of being as accessible as possible to all ranks, to mix with them and ascertain their wants and wishes, to study their character and master their dialects," and whilst exhibiting firmness in the maintenance of the laws, " to treat kindly and considerately all classes, and especially those who have lost so much by the change of rule." The advantages of an entente cordiale between the civil and military authorities are alsojudiciously pointed out; on the whole a fair start has been made for a little good government; the opportunity to improve upon past attempts, and to commence clear of the clogs and impe diments that have hampered administrative progress is other quarters, is a splendid one, and will not, it is hoped, be thrown away. Should John Company lose the chance now given him, we fear that when his pre sent lease expires, a British Parliament will feel there is no other alternative than to let out "the vineyard to other husbandmen who will render the fruits in due season." Since General Gilbert's arrival at Lahore, that city has become the scene of social festivity and amusement, while the interchange of hospitalities between the regi ments of her Majesty and the Hon. Company, induces the belief that the spirit of absurdj ealousy that formerly existed between the members of the two services is fast giving way to one of a more generous rivalry. The pro motion of good fellowship and the enlivenment of the dullness that usually clJuds military life in India, are now the only oljects that engage attention ; and races, balls, dinners, and the various agremens of social life, now solace our gallant soldiers for the hardships, toils, and dangers of the late campaign. Nominal rolls of claim ants for the Punjaub medal have, in the mean time, been called for by Lord Gough ; and we are glad to find it asserted by a north-west journal likely to be well informed, that the medal itself is to be distributed to all who have served in a military capacity at any time during the late war within the territories under the Government of Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, but that a clasp is to be added for each battle to such as served in it. This ar rangement will, we fear, not satisfy the captors of Moultan, who are clamorous for a distinct medal for their successful siege, and in the assertion of their claims—we now form our judgment from the letters which have found their way into the public papers—have indulged in a large amount of self-glorification and unnecessary depre ciation of the services of their brother soldiers. All have nobly done their duty in the sphere in which for tune placed them ; but the consciousness of this, and the knowledge that their country approves their valour, suf fice not to satisfy the soldiers of the Indian army noW a-days, and accordingly, after every battle, we have a loud outcry for extra " batta" and honorary decorations. We. have no wish to depreciate the services of the army of the Punjaub or that of Moultan, but we condemn the principle of indiscriminate eulogy and reward which has found its way into the practice both of the authorities and the troops, and deprecate the undervaluation of these distinctions, which must ensue from their too general bestowment. Advices have been received from Peshawur to the tho 12th of May. Everything is reported to be going on quietly, but the communications are filled with very little of intered - - TTnpleacant j emtnnsies—we trust un-- founded ones, too—appear to exist between the Bombay and Bengal troops, which compose the force, and bitter complaints have found their way into the papers of the partiality and favouritism of Colonel Dundas, who com mands the troops at that station, and who is said to have given the Ducks an unfair precedence in matters of mili tary convenience. The lines at Rawul Pindee have been finished,and by the latest accounts the troops were at once to move into them. The military occupation of the country will, therefore, soon be complete. No manifes tation of dissatisfaction by the people has yet been made; and, though some profess to consider the present com posure as but the deceitful preliminary to a storm, we feel rather inclined to augur from these symptoms more auspiciously for the Punjaub, and interpret them as omens of a period of long and undisturbed tranquillity. The Governor-General and Lord Gough are both en joying the cool delights of Simlah. The Maharanee Chunda, whose escape from Chunar was noticed in our last issue, has managed to make her successful escape into the Nepaulese territory, in the disguise of a Byraginee, or religious mendicant. She had entreated the Government of Nepaul to allow her an asylum in that territory, but it is not thought likely that her request will be granted without the previous con sent of the British Government. From neither Affghanistan nor Scindo have we any intelligence of the slighest importance. The principal item of news from Bombay relates to the annexation of the Sattara state to the British dominions in the East. No official notification of the act has yet appeared, but a Bombay paper intimates that the following appointments have been determined on, and we may therefore in a very short time ex pect the formal announcement of the new appro priation. Mr. II B. E. Frere is to be Commissioner; Mr. M. A. Coxon, first Assistant; Lieutenant 11. B. Sandford, of the Bombay Artillery, second ; and Ensign J. T. Nicholson of the 221 Native Infantry, third. The death of Jeejeebhoy Dedabboy, Esq., oue of the oldest, wealthiest, and most respected of the mor• chants of Bombay, has taken place during the month. The deceased has in his will made the munificent be quest of two lakhs of rupees (20,0001.) to be expended on charitable objects for the benefit of the Parsee Com munity. Calcutta witnessed the arrival of Sir Charles Napier on the 6th ult., and his assumption of office as Com mander-in-Chief with the usual formalities on the day following. This unusually hasty entrance upon his new duties took many by surprise, and the august Council of India not the least; the prevalent noti on being that ho would defer his installation until Lord Gough had offi cially announced his resignation. The ex-Commander in-Chief has therefore been virtually superseded by Sir Charles Napier, all that the Ministry at Some may say to the contrary notwithstanding. Lord Gough has conse quently given vent to a few " more last words" in the shape of the following second " farewell order." We regret to hear that he appears to be much out of spirits in consequence of the unfavourable sentiments ex pressed regarding his conduct of the recent war, both here and at home; and we question whether even the ti ittering unction administered in both Houses of Parlia ment on the occasion of the " thanks to th 2, army" will heal the soreness of his mind. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman, June 2.) The express of the mail of the 7th of April arrived on the eveninc , of the 12th ult., and the express of the mail of the 25th of April came in during the night before last, bringing advices of a loss satisfactory character as re gards political affairs on the continent of Europe, and the market for colonial produce at home, than could bo wished for. Our export market has maintained the animation which has pervaded it for some time past, and with one or two exceptions, all staple productions have continued to sell freely, and at full prices. Owing to the exhausted state of our stock transactions in indigo have been limited to about 85 chests of Bazaar parcels at extreme previous rates. The exports of this article up to date reached 36,616 chests, containing 131,279 maunds, of which 26 ; 559 chests have gone to England, and 6,348 to France. The fall which has taken p l ace in freights has given a spur to the good demand which previously existed for sugar, and although the market has been much more freely supplied, extreme previous prices have been maintained with an advance of 2a. to 3a. for the superior qualities. Saltpetre has also benefited by the reduction in freights, and prices since our last report have gradually advanced 2a. to 4L per maund. Table rice has also attracted seine attention from shippers for the British market. The safflower market has displayed a scene of the most eager competition amongst shippers, which has enabled holders to realise their comparatively extravagant pretensions. Silk has been almost totally neglected. Coral's are still in good but sober inquiry, and at a reduced value. Lac dye continues high in fa vour, and is largely shipped. Shell lac is also in fair re quest. Jute continues to be freely exported at full prices, although the market can only supply inferior qualities. The Americans are shipping rum, and they also monopolise the linseed market. 10,200 mds. of catch have been exported to Great Britain during the past month. The steady ai , pect which our import market presented at the date of our last report, was not, we regret to say, of long continuance, for the past fortnight has been a very dull one for almost all the branches of our import business. Most kinds of Manchester fabrics are diffi cult of sale, and lower in value. Scotch goods are also quiet with little or no demand. Mule twist has con tinned dull with limited sa l es , and shows a furth e r de -1 preciation in v a l ue . Metals have, however, remained pretty steady, both as regards demand sod price, ex cepting spolter, which fell to Sr. 4a., but has again ral lied up to Sr. Ba. our present quotation. Tile copper is a little higher, being quoted at 33r. Ba. Some sales of flat, bar, and bolt iron have been muds at 2r, 10a. to 2r. 14a., but the former figure may be taken as the present current quotation for this assortment. The money market is well supplied, and loans are readily procurable for fair securities on easy terms. Company's paper is quoted at 4a. to Sa. discount for New Fives; lr. Ba. to 2r. for Sicca ditto; 13r. to 14r. fur Company's Fours; 15r. to 15r. Ba. for Sicca ditto, Bank of Bengal shares, 1,400 to 1,425 premium. This bank has made an average profit on capital stock of 6r. la. 9p. during the three months ending April 30 last. The Bonded Warehouse has declared a dividend for the past commercial year of sr. Bs. per share. 445 rupees have been paid upon the shares of this stock, and the selling price has lately been 190 to 200 per share. The smallness of the dividend may bo attributed to tho un precedented prostration of commerce during the past 12 months. The rates of exchange h ave b een gra d ua ll y keep i ng up from 1 101 to 1 101; the bulk of transactions have been effected at 1 10i. Oriental Bank-bills, at 30 days sight, have been sold at 1 9f. The export warehouse authorities have made no alteration in their iate of ex change, which still continues at l• 10. During the year ending the 30th of April last, 46,72,772 rupees have been advanced on bills covered by hypothecation of goods; and, since that date, 40,79,000. During the week immediately following the date of our last report freights rose to 41. 15s. to 51. for salt petre, and 51. 4s. to Si. 7s. 6d. for sugar and lice to Lon don, with ss. to 7s. 6d. cheaper to Liverpool. The ar rival of a good many ships during the second week had the effect of causing rates to retrograde, and quotations fell to .St. sugar, 51.55. rice, and 41. 15s. to 51. saltpetre to London, with ss. to 7s. 6d. less for Liverpool. The third week witnessed a further fall to 41. 103. to 41. 12s. 6d. for sugar, 41.".105. saltpetre, and 4/. 15s. rice, to Lon don, with 2s. 6d. to ss. lower to Liverpool. Our quota tions now are 4/. 15s. for sugar, 41. 10s. saltpetre, to London and Liverpool; the nominal quotation for rice tonnage is V. 15s. to 51, and Jute 51. [PRICE SD. HUNGARY. The following is a fuller report of Lord Paleseretoe's speech on this question than we were enabled to give in our paper of yesterday:— , Lord PALMERS TON said,—ln the few obserrations which I shall feel it my duty to make upon the motion of my Hon. Friend, and upon what has passed in debate, I wish to guard myself in the first place against the possi bility that anything which I may say may expose me to the imputation of entertaining unfriendly feelings to wards the Government and empire of Austria.—(Hear, hear.) I know well, that imputations have been cast upon her Majesty's Government, and upon myself as the organ of that Government in regard to our foreign rela tions—imputations of being guided and impelled in our intercourse with the powers of Europe by personal feel ings of hatred to this power and to that.—(Hear, hear.) Such imputations, let them come from what quarter they may, and w h ether they be written or spoken—(Hear, hear)—if they be sincere, are the result of ignorance and folly—(flear, hear)—ii they are insincere, I leave others to qualify th em as they ma (Hear hear.) It is the gr osses t i gnorance to suppose that ' the Govern ment of this co untry — that the man who may for the time be charged with the conduct of its foreign rela tions, can be influetced i n the management of those affairs by any other feeling than his conception of what is his duty, according to his political opinions, and according to his views of the interests of his country and the ge neral interest s o f t h e c i v i l i zed world.—(Hear, hear.) Austria is a power towards which the Government of this country ought upon many accounts to feel great consideration.—(Hear, hear.) We have been told that Austria is our ancient ally. We have thehadterm " ally" and " a lli es ' b y who rung in o ur ears those either must be ignorant o f t h e slip-shop expression they were using, or who, throu g h w h at I must admit tohave been its general acceptation, f orgot that they were usinga totally unmeaning term. Why, what is an ally? An ally is a power allied by treaty engagements in carrying on some active operations, political or otherwise. But to call a country an ally merely because it is in a state of friendship with you is to use an expression that has no meaning whatever—(Hear, bear)—because it is applica ble to every other power in the world with whom you may happen not to be in a state of war.—(Hear, hear.) But Austria has been our ally. We have been allied with Austria in most important European transactions; and the remembrance of the alliance ought undoubt edly to create in the breast of every Englishman who has a recollection of the history of his country feel ings of respect towards a power with whom we have been in such alliance.— (Hear, bear.) It is perfectly true, that in the course of those repeated alliances, Austria, not from any fault of hers, but from the pressure of ir resistible necessity, was repeatedly compelled to depart from the alliance, and to break the engagements by which she had bound herself to us. We did not reproach her with yielding to the necessity of the moment, and no generous mind would think that those circumstances . ought in any de gree t o di m i n i s h or wea k en t h e t i e which former transactions must create between the Govern ments of the two countries.—(Hear, hear.) But there are higher and larger considerations, which ought to render the maintenance of the Austrian empire an object of solicitude to every English statesman. Austria is a most important element in the balance of European power.—(Hear, bear.) Austria stands in the centre of Europe, a barrier against encroachments on the one side, and against invasion on the other. The political inde pendence and liberties of Europe are bound up, in my opinion, with the maintenance and integrity of Austria as a great European power; and therefore anything which tends by direct, or even remote contingency, to weaken and to cripple Austria, but still more to reduce her from the position of a firstrate power to that of a se condary state, must be a great calamity to Europe, and one which every Englishman ought to deprecate, and to try to prevent.—(Hear.) However, it is perfectly true, as has been stated, that for a long course or time Austria has not been a favourite with the Liberal party in Europe. Austria, by the course of policy which she has pur sued, has, in the opinion of a great part of the continent, been identified with cbstruction to progress.— (Hear, hear.) That circumstance unfortunately has made her proportionately a favourite in the eyes of some; and when we hear such declamations in favour of Austria, I would warn the Austrian Government not to trust too much to those protestations.—(Hear, hear.) It is not as the ancient ally of England during war—it is not as the means of resistance in the centre of Europe to any ge neral disturbance of the balance of power—it is as the former (though I trust it is no longer so)—the former symbol of resistance to improvement, political and social —(Hear, hear)—it is in that capacity that Austria has won the affections of some men in the conduct of public atfairs,—(Hear, hear.) There are persons who see in the relations of countries nothing but the intercourse of Cabinets, who value a country not for its political weight, but for its political opinions, and who consider that the relations between countries are sufficiently intimate when the personal intercourse of their Governments is placed on a complimentary footing.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, there are men who, having passed their whole lives in adoring the Government of Austris, because they deemed it the great symbol of the opinions which they enter tained, at last became fickle in their attachment, and transferred their allegiance to the Government of France, because they thought that in that Government they saw an almost equal degree of leaning to the arbitrary prin ciple—(Hear)—and because they, forsooth, expected that Government of designs hostile to the interests of freedom.—(Hear.) Wo have heard of persons of that sort making use of the expression " old women."—(flear, hear.) Public men ought not to deal in egotism, and I will not apply to them the expression that has fallen from their own mouths. I will only say that the conduct of such men is an example of antiquated imbecility.— (Cheers and laughter.) With regard to the present question, I am sure that everybody who has hoard what has passed, everybody in this country who has given at tention to the most important events that have taken place in Hungary, must feel that my Hon. and Gallant Friend need have made no apology for drawing the at tention of the Parliament of England to transactions deeply affecting the political principles of Europe, and having a most important bearing upon the general balance of European power.—(Cheers.) The House will not expect me to follow those who have spoken to day, by endeavouring to pass judgment either way be tween the Austrian Government and the Hungarian na tion.—(Hear.) I say the Hungarian nation, because, in spite of what has fallen from the Noble Lord opposite (Lord C. Hamilton), I do believe, from the in formation I have received,—and I do not pretend I may not be mistaken,—but I firmly believe that in this war between Austria and Hungary there is enlisted on the side of Hungary the hearts and souls of the whol e people of that country.—(Cheers.) I believe that the other races, distinct from the Magyars, have forgotten the former feuds that existed between them and the Magyar population, and that the greater portion of the people have engaged in what they consider a great national contest.—(Cheers.) It is true, as nay Hon. and Gallant Friend has said, that Hungary has for cen turies been a state which, though united with Austria by the link of the Crown, has nevertheless been separate and distinct from Austria by its own complete constitu tion.—(Hear, hear.) That constitution has many de fects, but some of those defects were, I believe, remedied not long ago—(Hear, hear)—and it is not the only ancient constitution on the continent that was suscep tible of great improvement.—(Hear, hear.) There were means probably within the force and resources of the constitution itself to reform it, and it might have been hoped that those improvements would have been a c s ar i the car ried into effect.—(Hear, hear.) Mil:, so a nt far state of._ understand the matter, I take the case to be this:—Without goin w in h t i r o c e h t s h e h e a d v e e t a t iaT taken c o n n m utual complaints as to circum stances place within the last ye ar or y earand a half, I take the question that is now to bo fought for on the plains of elungary to be this—whether Hungary shall continue to maintain its separate nationality as a distinct king dom, and with a constitution of its own, or whether it is to be incorporated more or less in the aggregate con stitution that is to be given to the Austrian empire ? It is a most painful sight to see such forces as are now arrayed against Hungary proceeding to a war fraught with such tremendous consequences on a ques tion that it might have been hoped would be settled peacefully.—(Hear, hear.) It is of the utmost importance to Europe that Austria should remain great and power ful; but it is impossible to disguise from ourselves that, if the war is to be fought out, Austria must thereby be weakened—(Hear, hear)—because, on the one hand, if the Hungarians should be successful, and their success should end in the entire separation of Hungary from Austria, it will be impossible not to see that this will be such a dismemberment of the Austrian empire as will prevent Austria from continuing to occupy the great position she has hitherto held among European powers.—(Hear, hear.) If, on the other hand, the war being fought out to the uttermost, Hungary should by superior forces be entirely crushed, Austria in that battle will have crushed her own right arm.— (Cheers.) Every field that is laid waste is an Austrian re source destroyed —every man that perishes upon tbe field among the Hungarian ranks is an Austrian soldier deducted from the defensive forces of the e (Cheers.) Laying aside those other most obvtinloeuPrstecsounit siderations that have been touched up on as t o the 'eh is brought about of a successful war, the success o by foreign aid—laying that .„.h f o fb i b t l a is sid si e m , p i l t y i a s obvious s that even the success of Austria, d i on the fabric and frame of force, will inflict a deep of the Austrian en] principle_ of general empire. —(Cheers.) It is therefore much to be desired, n ot simply on the on the principle of sound European humanity, but the . most friendly_ regard to the Austrian and from I say, devoutly to be wished that empire itself—it is, t hi s great contest may be brought to a termination by some amicable arrangement between the contending par ties, which shall on the one hand satisfy the national feelings of the Hungarians, and on the other hand not leave to Austria another and a larger Poland within her empire.—(Cheers.) Her 'Majesty's Government have not, in the present state of the matter, thought that any opportunity has as yet presented itself that could enable them, with any prospect of ad vantage, to . make a n y o ffi c i al commun i cation of those opinions which they entertain :on tnis subject. I say official, as contradistinguished from opinions expressed in a more private and confidential manner; but undoubtedly, if any occasion were to occur that should lead them to think the expression of such . opinion* would tend to a favourable result, it would be AUDITORS.

HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52 , Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAT. TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication. 52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five. TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1446. Reader, remember, this letter was put hat the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor , tuulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoee, of the lierbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole ofher hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. Mrs. Weekley Inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling ASSllied that rnAny ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perflime iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ale w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' !wrist it has such a peculiar cooling influenee on the brain as to pre ye-el convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The season of the II ymarket terminated last evening with the performance of As you Like it, Flying Colours, and An Alarming Sacrifice. The house was crowded to excess in every part, as might have been expected, see ing that not only was the performance first-rate, but it was also for the benefit of Mr. Webster, a manager whom all lovers of the drama delight to honour, an actor whom all lovers of the drama delight to see perform. The comedy went off most effectively. Mrs. Charles Kean resumed her old character of Rosalind, and never has this most exquisite of Shakapere's conceptions been more daintily embodied. Mr. Charles Kean did ample justice to the melancholy Jacques, and the Keeleys, as Touchstone and Aubrey, were perfect personi fications of quaint humour. Mr. Stuart and Miss P. Horton were admirable in their respective parts, and as a whole we never remember before to have seen this delightful dramatic pastoral more strongly cast. The applause was enthusiastic throughout, and at the conclusion the principal artists were called before the curtain. The farce of Flying Colours followed, with the same strong east as when it was orginally produced at the Adelphi; and at its conclusion Mr. Webster came forward and delivered the following farewell address : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Custom exacts a valedic tory address from every manager of a theatre on the close of the season, which sometimes proves irksome, when the financial budget has not a cheerful aspect, as was seriously the case last year, chiefly consequent upon the political and commercial gloom pervading all classes of society. Happily those times are nearly past—l hope never to return—and with them a great portion of the depression of the British drama, aided and honoured by the marked patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Such an illus trious example will assuredly be loyally followed, and the British drama (and a nobler drama no country can boast of) become once more a popular as well as an in • tellectual amusement, which will give birth to genius both in writing and in acting. They have existed, and why not exist again? This point achieved, the national theatres may see native talent prospering on the boards where the Kerables, Siddons, Garrick, Kean, O'Neil, and a host of kindred spirits once flourished, and not to be desecrated as they now are to other uses; and the un paralled circumstance of having to combat against an af fected taste, in which I most earnestly desire a revolu tion, and four foreign operas open at one time in London, which, though they do not thrive themselves, prevent others thriving, be remembered only as an ugly dream of the past, oppressing the healthful action of our native drama. As I do not uphold the lyre of Apollo when foreign to my nature, I may feelingly speak the truth. " rhanking you, ladies and gentlemen, fur your sup port, and assuring you that I will endeavour to observe its continuance, until the latter end of September next, I respectfully, and in the name of the company indi vidually and collectively, wish you health and hap piness." The address was frequently interrupted by applause, and at its conclusion Mr. Webster retired amidst renewed cheering, which was both loud and long con tinned. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Mr. Tyler is not spoiled by success. Albeit the Gar dens are crowded nightly, by persons attracted thither by the gorgeous spectaele of the Siege of Badajoz, which in former days would alone have been considered a suffi cient novelty for one season, yet Mr. Tyler is on the constant look-out for novelty, and avails himself of every opportunity to secure any available talent that may be in the market for the amusement of his pa trons. The break up of the German opera company did not pass unobserved by Mr. Tyler, and he at once took advantage of that circumstance to enter into an en gagement with the far-famed band and chorus of the establishment, who made their debut at the Surrey Zoological Gardens last evening, in addition to the splendid band of the establishment, so that the Surrey Gardens now ore richer in musical attractions than any others in the metropolis. Mr. Godfrey still officiates as conductor, Herr Kuchler leading the band. The over tures performed last evening were those to Der Freischutz, Zampa, and Illasaniello, which were given with a spirit, an accuracy, and aplomb that left nothing to bo desired. The band also performed several quadrilles and polkas, concluding with the celebrated drum polka performed in a manner that might have excited the envy of Jullien himself. The chorus .singers performed first the Huntsman's Chorus from Der Freischutz, then a chorus from Kreutzner's Night in Grenada, then a chorus (unaccompanied) by Mendelssohn, entitled the " Huntsman's Farewell, ' and lastly the prayer and finale from Masaniello. We have before had occasion to remark on the marvel lous accuracy and oneness, if we may be permitted the expression, with which the German chorus singers eherus in gi A v ethe ig h t H i un n G t s r m e n a a n d ' a s aCnhdorus, never a d n i d d t h t h e y e gnigve. thoseis, It chheowreuvseers, in mor t e he ad u m na i e ra en b m ly pa th n a te n d lcahsternevsene iThe " Huntsman's Farewell," that the perfection of part singing, to which the Germans have attained, becomes most evident, because here, there being no accompani ment to drown the voice, the least imperfection becomes evident and completely mars the effect. The manner in which the German singers gave this fine compo sition last evening was perfect; there was no attempt at individual display, but all was done for love of art, not for love of self; it was evidently with all a labour of love to interpret the divine inspirations of rendered.tt h h e o s G e e i r n m s p a i in r ts a w ti oo giveun l s dti the a m b eellweu manner ntt Huntsman's r at The finMendelsohn,ale a to the hd eapngrdaa,yr gardens, e n r ntso, consequence, amn da ssatnu they did interpret n w o , u o s erctEhhnyogrt ssehan mighty master. the manner a a a l n s oexcellently e rnwhich he h chorussingers dthe finale t o Masan iell o . Th ey m i g h t pick up ideythwa s several hints which would be useful to them, and would, moreover, learn of what chorus singers can be capable, a matter concern ing which many of them are at present in a state of most profound ignorance. The engagements of Mr. G. Ted der and of Miss E. Rowland are renewed, and last night they sang several songs, amongst which Miss Rowland gave the " Bonnie woe wife" with infinite taste, and Mr. Tedder sang the " Bay of Biscay" with such spirit as to ensure an encore. The siege of Badajoz concluded the evening's amusements ; the fireworks were superb, Suuthby having exceeded any of even his former doings in this respect. The model itself, too, is the best that has yet been exhibited at these gardens. It is un doubtedly the chef d'oeuvre of that most accomplished artist Dsnson. The gardens, notwithstanding the un favourable state of the weather, were crowded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The chief features in the betting on the Goodwood Stakes (the only event on which business of any amount was transacted) were an outlay of five or six hundred pounds on Collingwood, the advance of Maid of Lyme to 12 to 1 (layers), consequent on her successes at Not• tingham, and a great decline in Van Diemen and Remem brance, the first receding from 10 to 20 to 1, and the latter, after a small outlay at l 5 to 1, going to the ex treme outside. The betting was the dullest ever known within a week of Goodwood. - GOODWOOD STAKES. 10 to 1 agst Mr. Rolt's Collingwood, 6 yrs,9st 81b 10 to 1 agst Captain Wrather's Maid of Masham, 4 yrs, ist 91b 12 to 1 agst Mr. J.

CHINA. Our intelligence from China is.to May 25. The follow ing is our correspondent's letter:— , MAY 25. "The Penin su l ar and " Or HONG-KONG iental Company's steamer Malta, reached this on the 17th inst., bringing advices England to the 24th of March. " At Canton all is quiet, the excitement has in a great measure subsided, and the Garde Mobile have been dis banded. It has been ascertained that the Chinese brokers have 'consented to pay a certain small sum upon all goods bought from foreigners towards a general fund denominated the " Consoo Fund," for the purpose of de fraying the expenses of the Garde Mobile, and to meet similar outlays on future occasions. " The Consoo Fund" existed in the company's time, and the present is an attempt to revive it. The establishment of this fund and of the guilds alluded to before, is considered directly opposed to the spirit and letter of the existing treaties, and indicates a return on the part of the Chinese to the old system. "Pirates still abound in our waters. The Inflexible steamer brought in some days ago three large well armed piratical boats, which they secured after a despe rate resistance. The greater part of the pirates managed to get on shore and to escape. Several were taken, but there has only been sufficient evidence to convict nine. Their trial will take place beibre the Admiralty Court to-morrow. Several European portmanteaus were found on board of the boats, among them one belonging to the Spanish mail agent who was attacked a short time ago and lost his life. A small cutter in the Canton river was attacked since our last, and three of the crew were mur dered. A large piratical boat has been brought to Ningpo by her Majesty's brig pilot,_ and handed over to the Chinese authorities there. " The Governor of Macao is at serious issue with the Chinese authorities. "The Californian excitement still continues, and large shipments are going forward to that quarter. "The United States ship Preble, Captain Glynn, has returned from Japan with some shipwrecked sailors. " Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier returned from Shanghae on the 20th inst. in her Majesty's steamer Fury. He leaves to-morrow-in the. Fury for Singapore, to join her Majesty's ship Hastings. • " Her Majesty's steamerC nflexible left to-day for Bombay direct, and proceeds thence to England. Her Majesty's steamer Medea will leave shortly for the different ports on the coast. " Her Majesty's ship Meander, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, remains in harbour, but expects to be relieved shortly by her Majesty's ship Amazon. " The Phlegethon steamer is stationed off the factories at'Cunton. Her Majesty's brig Columbine is at Wham poa, the Mariner, at Shanghae; Arab, at Ningpo; Pilot, at Amoy. " Oui latest dates are, from London, March 24; Cal cutta, April 21 (per the Red Rover, arrived to day), from Madras, April 12; from Bombay, April 18; from Singapore, Bth inst.; from Manilla, 15th inst.; and from Sydney, March 20.

THE FORTUNES or WOMAN.—Under this title a new novel is announced for immediate publication, of which report avers that it is from the pen of a lady ad mirably qualified to do justice to so very suggestive a subject ; and it is said to convey a:picture of existing society, as developed in the various scenes in which the heroine figures, that is likely to startle a good many of her readers, and give another proof of the truth of the old axiom, that one halt of the world is ignorant how the other half exists. In " Tho Fortunes of Woman, the vicissitudes of that numerous class of females who arc obliged to make their own way through life, supported by their own energies alone, and dependent on their own resources, are said to be portrayed in a very original and striking manner. HER MAJESTY'S HIGHLAND CARRIAGE.---A beautiful light carriage, named The Prince's Drotska, built to the command of her Majesty, is on view at the builders, Nurse and Co., 43, Crawford-street, for a f ew days, and will bo two or three days afterwards at 200, Regent-street. f~f= li ~~~-~ 2 --/. - / z CeS , -- , e-,c_,,___, ,,, ,, the duty of the Government not to let !each an oppore tunity pass by.—(Cheers.) Upon the general question, and in regard to the conduct which it ought g-uerally to be the duty of this Government to put sue in its rela tions to foreign powers, I have heard with great satis faction much that has fallen from the gentlemen who have taken part in this debate. I think the record of the sentiments that have been expressed will be of great utility.—(Hear, hear.) It is meat desirable that foreign nations should know that on the one hand England is sincerely desirous to preserve and maintain peace-- Char, hear)—that we enterten no feelings of hostility towards any nation in the w orld—(Cheers)—that we wish to be on the most friendly footin g with el:—that we have a deep interest in the preservation of peace, because we are desirous to carry on w i t h advantage these innocent and petceful relations of c ommerce that we know must be injured by the interruption of our friendly rola liens with other countries; but, on the other hand, it i s also essential for the attainment of that object, and ev, essential for the protection of that commerce to which we attach so much importance, that it should be known and %ell understood by every nation on the face of th e eart h that we arc not disposed to submit to wrong—(Cheers)— and that the maintenance of peace on our pars is subject to the indispensable condition that all countries shall re spect our honour and our dignity, and shall not idp at any injury upon our interests. Sir, I , do not think that the pr eserva ti on o f peace i s i n any e agree en dangered by the expression of opinions with regard to the transactions in llungary or other countries.— (Hear, hear.) I agree with thoze who think—and I know there are many in this country who entertain the opinion—that there are two objects which England ought peculiarly to aim at. One is to maintain peace— the other is to count for something in the transactions of the world—that it is not fitting that a country occupying such a proud position as England—that a country having such various and extensive interests, should lock herself up in a simple regard to her own internal af fairs, and should be a passive and mute spectator of everything that is going on around.—(Hear, hear.) It is quite true that it may be said, " Your opinions are but opinions, and you express them against our opinions, who have at our command large armies to back them —what are opinions against armies?" Sir, my answer is, opinions are stronger than armies. —(Cheers.) Opinions, if they are founded in truth and justiceswill in the end prevail against the bayonets of the infantry, the fire of artillery, and the charges of cavalry.—(Loud cheers.) Therefore I say, that, armed by opinion, if that opinion is pronounced with truth and justice, we are indeed strong, and in the end likely to make our opinions prevail ; and I think that what is happening on the whole surface of the continent of Europe is a proof that this expression of mine is a truth.—(Hear, hear.) Why, for a great many years the Governments of Europe imagined they could keep down opinion by force of arms, and that by obstructing progressive improve ment they would prevent that extremity of revolution which was the object of their constant dread.—(Haar, hear.) We gave an opinion to the contrary effect, and we have been blamed for it.—(Hear.) We have been accused of meddling with matters that did not 'concern us, and of affronting nations and Governmenti by giving our opinion as to what was likely to happen ; but the result has proved that if our opinions had been acted upon great calamities would have been avoided.—(Hear, hear.) Those very Governments that used to say, " Tho man we hate, the man we have to fear, is the moderate Reformer; we care not for your violent Radical, who proposes such violent extremes that nobody is likely to join with him—the enemy we are most afraid of' is the moderate Reformer, because he is such a plausible man that it is difficult to persuade people that his counsels would lead to extreme consequences—there fore let us keep off, of all men, the moderate Reforms r, and let us prevent the first step of improvement, be cause that improvement might lead to extremities and innovation."—(Hear, hear.) Those Governments, those powers of Europe, have at last learned the truth of the opinion expressed by Mr. Canning, "That those who have checked improvements because it is innovation, will one day or other be compelled to accept innovation when it has ceased to be improvement."—(Loud cheers.) I say, then, that it is our duty not to remain passive spectators of events that in their immediate conse quences affect other countries, but which in their re mote and certain consequences are sure to come back with disastrous effect upon us ; that, so far as the courtesies of international intercourse may permit us to do so, it is our duty, especially when our opinion is asked, as it has been on many occasions on which we have been blamed fur giving it, to state our opinions, founded on the experience of this country—an experience that might have been, and ought to have been, an example to less fortunate countries.— (Hear, hear.) At the same time I am quite ready to admit that interference ought not to be carried to the ex tent of endangering our relations with other countries. There are cases like that which is now the subject of our discussion, of one power having, in the exert se of its own sovereign rights, invited the assistance of another power; and, however we may lament that circumstance, however we may be apprehensive that therefrom conse quences of great danger and evil may flow, still we are not entitled to interpose in any manner that will commit ' this country to embark in those hostilities.—(Hear, hear.) All we can justly do is to take advantage of any opportunities that may present themselves in which the counsels of friendship and peace may be offered to the contending parties.—(Hear, hear.) We have on several occasions that have happened of late in Europe been in vited to " intermeddle," as it is called, in the affairs of other countries, although it has been said of this country, that it stands so low in public opinion in Europe that we are treated with contempt both by Governments and by nations. Certainly the way in which that want of respect has been shown is singular, when from the north to the south, in cases of difficulty, not only between nations but internally between Governments and their own subjects, we have been asked and invited to interpose our friendly mediation in their affairs.—(Cheers.) We have on those occasions done our best to accomplish the object which we were called upon to fulfil; and, in one case at least, we have now nearly succeeded.—(Hear, hear.) We have heard a groat deal, in the course of the session, of " sham media tions" in the contest between Denmark and Germany, but that " sham mediation" has ended in a real pre liminary treaty—(Hear, hear)--and I hope that pre liminary treaty will soon be followed by a permanent pacification.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, to suppose that any Government of England can wish to excite revolutionary movements in any part of the world—to suppose that any Government of England can have any other wish or desire than to confirm and maintain peace between nations and tranquillity and harmony between Govern ments and subjects, shows really a degree of ignorance and folly which I never supposed any public man could have been guilty of—(Elear, hear)—which may do very well.for a newspaper article, but which it astonishes me to find is made the subject of a speech in Parliament. FORTUNE AND LOVE. Let me live without Fortune, if Providence will it, For Joy can be found where small treasure is shed; Those who bear a full cup are most fearful to spill it, And oftentimes walk with the narrowest tread. I care not though Fate may deny me profusion, If earth will but show me some rays from above; Tell me not that God's light is a dreamy illusion -1 could live without Fortune, but not without Love! Oh! 'tis pleasant to know there are beings about us Who tune the most exquisite strings in our hesrt, To feel that they would not be happy without us, And that we, in our loneliness, sigh when we part. Oh! there's something divine in the thought that we cherish A star•beam within us, that shines from above— To know, that if all the world gives us should perish, The greatest of Fortune still dwells in our Love! Oh! 'tis glory to feel that we live for some others, That self is not all we depend on below, That affection yet links us to sisters and brothers, Whose faith will be constant, come weal or come woe. Though the vulture of trouble may harass our bosom, Ne'er fear while our spirit is fed by the dove; Let the desert of Life give Eternity's blossom, And we'll live wi thout Fortune, while favoured by Love I IVeekly Dispatch. ELIZA COOK. MUSIC. THE PROPHE TE.—The Prophet, composed by Mey erbeer, with an English version, and the Music of the principal Airs. This is the sixth of the series of Davidson's illus trated Libretto Books, which bid fair to supersede all others. The plan adopted by Mr. Davidson, to whom the public are more indebted for populariz:ng good music among us than to any other publisher who ever lived, is to give on the same page in parallel eolumns the original words of the libretto of an opera (French, Italian, or German, as the case may be), and a trans lation of them into English blank verse, the songs, duets, &c., being translated into English rhyme, the English words being also adapted to the mu,io, e s . % n o te r ci , in tact, every opera of this series can be words. re- The on the English stage with Eng h li a s t h which makes greatest novelty, however, and t . which leading pieces, of the melodies of all the these operas of permanent value, frequenter to follow the words, but renders the work of is the . introduction music riot a l ys well enables a s the oper l a- bretto beautifully got up, of permanent value, is ' less than is charged for the ordinary respect n sold at a price permanent value; and the i than is asked for and thus illustratd libretto and cvinenevery are hawked about at m a a t , t i ll , e ß d a o r o b r i s v o e f , the imperfect, unauthorised,.h i n the music shops—lessrendered and La Cenerentola have already appeared.

Meyerte Jr and Brandus, that not a single picce of the music had been up to the day published or sold in Paris. Bow did Mr. Davidson then obtain the music ? In the easiest manner in the world—his agent in Paris pur chased the music in the shop of this very M. Brandus, 18, Rue Richelieu, and when some time previously Mr. Davidson had written over to M. Brandus's establish ment on the subject, the answer was, that ninete en pieces of the Prophete had been published, and from those nineteen pieces M r . D av id son h as t a k en th e we ..
