THOROUGHNESS. - We are in the habit of talking much about days of persecution, and admiring the sturdy and stub born hardihood with which our ancestors faced the rack, the thumbscrew, and the gibbet, when there was a question of playing false to the old religion in which they were brought up. . In those days there was no _opportunity, nor was there any de sire, of paring down dogma, varnishing truth, gilding unsavoury principles, or sweetening with the leaven of this world the bitterness of the reli gion of the Crucified. it was a'case of etut aut, either one thing or the other then—either Protes tant and Elizabethan, or Papist and Bloody Queen Mary. Light and darkliess are not more distinct than was the heroic little band of persecuted Ca tholics, and the intolerant and savage bigotry which would convert them with redhot irons. Still there was something in common between the persecutors and the persecuted ; something which, independent it would appear of creed, spe cially seems to belong to the English race—a thoroughness and an energy of purpose which, more by strong nerve and animal force of character than by rules of logic, carries its own to the ex tremest bounds of practical conclusions. There are no people like the English for drawing startling inferences in the region of action out of the logic of facts. In place of long and elaborate results elicited from certain data, by the laborious pressure of mental activity, we have the results• worked out almost simultaneously, in theory and in practice, as the flash of the musket is instan taneous with the departure of the projectile. Whilst the German lives in a land of metaphysical clouds and cobwebs, the Englishman is digging or planting, or fighting, or engrossed in specula tions, not theoretical, but eminently practical; and only considers he has done a day's work if he has achieved some results more tangible than the idle musings of a mere philosopher. So far is this the character of the race that the very science of philbsophy-is= dragged-down to the dirt by-its most eminent writers: Whht.-ii 'More significant than the worksof Mill, and Mansel, and HaMilton, and the, rest of - the thinkers on speculative points ? The very - Subjed most - pregnant with consequences, and from which the. whole body of philosophy hangs, is either repudiated or meagrely handled, or missed altogether by these men. What treatises on metaphysics proper can be pointed out written by an Englishman ? Where can be found a skeleton notion, or a ghost of a sketch of ontology, in its proper acceptation ? No ; our philosophers are mere farmers. They can grub in the earth, and dissect the carcass of tangible reality; but they are like men looking :up to heaven with nothing before their eyes when they are called upon to enter into the world of real entia, and abandon this mechanical, tangible, and gross earth under their feet. But, at all events, they have more time to keep their energies for psychological and experimental study, and doubtless they have at tained much eminence in what the Germans, with greater aptness than courtesy, designate as " dirt philosophy."

(By Order.) GEO. HOPWOOD, Secretary. it the Catholic Church. The various parties Of the Anglican communion, without danger of mistake, understand his position, and can read his mind ; with him there is no blowing hot and blowing cold, no shuffling and packing, no double entendres—what he says can be interpreted, but interpreted only one way. This is the kind of character English men can understand and ad mire. They say "He does not think as we ; but he is honest and thorough, and we can understand him." The same can be said of the other expo nents of Catholic thought who have held up the torch of truth to an unthankful generation. Dr. Ward, boldly indeed, and with unswerving courage, has drawn out his enemies from their hiding-places, and though he has been unable to get hold of more than one of their names, has visited them with so dire a castigation as will last them for a considerable time. The learned Dr. Gillow has spoken out with a clear, shrill, and tell ing voice ; while the President of Old Hall has been up in arms, and has given the cause of right the benefit of his learning and experience. There is something so genuine, so thorough, so English in these men's religion, that Protestants of the thorough school at once acknowledge them for opponents. The historic Dublin Review has a Catholic halo around it, and speaks the Catholic opinion with that nerve and entirety that it is looked upon as a powerful and real adversary, while those learned and accomplished writers who form the "Academia" have done great service to genuine honesty by proclaiming the fundamental principles of truth and justice and religion in a manner which cannot be mistaken. As long as Catholics thus pull together, and with genuine, honest, and English courage, proclaim without gloss or wavering, the very truth, their religion will be respected, their character will be held in reverence, and the ring of the true metal will easily be detected and acknowledged by all. These men and their principles may be ridiculed—they may become the objects of satire, and they and their cause may be misrepresented—but let them persevere, let them be thorough, let them be prac tical, and in process of time their voices will begin to tell. We do not say this as an empty boast, or as a flourish of rhetorical unreality. If truth is to prevail, it will do so by being spoken out boldly. Before a man can convince others, let bim show that he is convinced himself. If there is anything un-English in this world it is the measured, artful, and shuffling method whereby a man who belongs to the minority, and to an unpopular creed, aims at dovetailing truth and error, and amalgamating the poison of popu larity with the healthy but detested truths of sound philosophy. Blowing hot and blowing cold, smiling and smirking at the enemy, and, like Mr. Walpole, weeping sympathetic tears at the origi nators of one's misfortunes, is not the way to gain the respect of enemies or the good will of friends. Men may write bilious attacks on Catholic pre lates in Protestant papers, cry down the high courage of outspoken truth as extravagance, pare *down the doctrines of the Church to fit Protes tant pigeon -holes, but the only achievement they will accomplish will be to render themselves sus pected by those whom they truckle to, and disgust every right-hearted and honourable man. Let such men with their names written out in full, and with - logic and reason, and not merely with a slippery melody of words, state their cause, hold by it like men, declare their position, and peal off the chameleon colours which render them an enigma to all thoughtful men, and then there may be some chance of knowing in reality' what and who they are. If they be Catholics, or if they be Protestants, let them at least act as Eng lishmen, and then' there will be no doubt as to their principles and doctrine. Westminster Gazette.

CARRIAGE PAID to the COUNTRY ON ORDERS OVER Vs. Per ream. Thorough and practical were the English per secutors of our ancestors—thorough and practical were those who were under the scourge, and thorough and practical are the two great Marks of the race ; characteristics which have- been the mainsprings of our greatest works—in war, in commerce, in private speculation, in greatness and nobleness of private and public beneficence —in fact they are the two great motors of our national life. It is seen in the Church of England, in the various eccentric and concentric actions within her, and in the numberless contradictory forces which bubble up and explode with all the might of their little energy on the stream of her muddy creed as it careers away towards infidelity. It is seen in the marvellous organization of dis sent, in the sums paid to push a popular form of worship, andin the energy with which the argu ment of pounds, shillings, and pence is made use of to prove the truth of the popular theory. It is even to be traced in the dogged way in which each ignorant clown or half-enlightened Boor will cling to his religion, which is simply and alone rational to him, because he has not head to under stand it ; and, in fact, is held by him with all the greater tenacity in proportion to the obtuseness of his faculties of reason. Give him a telling party cry, and a good pair of lungs, and he will, in his very narrow groove, be as thorough and as practi cal as the most sublime and subtle of dirt philo sophers.

The reception of Charles Dickens at Boston marks two traits of American character—a generous forgiveness and a sentimental folly. As a nation, Americans are quick to take offence, and when younger, weaker, and more sensible of defects, they were not inaptly described in the words Dickens puts in the mouth of one of his characters, " We aire a nation that must be cracked up." But those days are gone by. There is no more straining to appear great; no more of the frog puffing itself out to rival the ox. America has taken a place recog nised by all. A Yankee can now hear with a calm disdain his country abused. He knows that envy and fear lie at the root of the prejudice. He is aware that his people are the champions of prin ciples which are revolutionising the world, to the dismay and confusion of European theories of go vernment. He can allow for the natural dislike created in classes against whose long recognised position his principles strike, and being aware that he has nothing to fear from the closest scrutiny and the fullest debate, either as to the greatness of his own country or the truth of the doctrines he up holds, he rather rejoices, whatever the tone may be of the criticism, to see the interest he excites. Thus a great change has come over the present generation, and there is no longer . that sensitiveness to detraction and hostile remarks that formerly so peculiarly characterized the people. America now fears no English writer, however powerful, however satirical. Truth in the end is sure to win, and however beautifully a man may ex press his thoughts, if they be false, they can impose on few, and have very little influence. The enthu siastic welcome given to Mr. Dickens arose from no desire in the Bostonians favourably to impress the great English novelist. No other people more keenly enjoy " a sensation," and they never lose a chance of gratifying this desire. A feeling seems simultaneously in their highly electric atmosphere to be diffused among the masses, and they act toge ther under the strong impulse. This is pretty sure to lead them into an extravagance at which they themselves are the first to sneer. They enjoy the " sensation," and laugh at the display. But the moving causes of the welcome to Mr. Dickens are not without their merits. America accords to lite rary reputation the highest place. Dickens is re cognised as one of the greatest writers, and as such he would be sure of an ovation in the States. But another motive actuated the Bostonians. Dickens had once before met with a hospitality which ran into extravagance, and he had replied to this in a spirit of such biting sarcasm as to offond the generation then existing. The annoyance was probably aggravated by the undeniable truth of much he wrote. But a great change has occurred since then. The glaring contradiction of a republic founded on the principle that all men are born equal, according to one race au almost unrestrained free dom, and to another a hopele3s bondage, has ceased to exist. With it has gone the sharp point which enabled Dickens to penetrate so easily to the quick of American sensitiveness. Those who aspire to the highest position are keenly alive to any weakness glaringly apparent. The beauty seeking to hide a deformity she knows in her inmost heart cannot be disguised, resents the stare at the defect. What a comfort to her when the knife of a skilful surgeon has eradicated the disease and removed every trace. Then, indeed, in all the power of her beauty she can come forth and challenge scrutiny ; then the stare becomes one of envy, and the keen look one of ad miration. It is thus that the United' States is now enabled to receive visitors; especially those who formerly merely alluded to her beauties while dwelling strongly on her great blemish, desiring to hear what they will say, now that the blemish is gdne. ' The people are glad of the opportunity of showing that they bear no malice. Dickens himielf half feared to make the experiment, but in this - it is 'clear that lie only half understood the Americans. If they run into a little extravagance it is because they like a sensation, because they ad mire the great author, and because it is a national characteristic to give rather a frantic expression to any feeling excited.—Anglo-Anzericall HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52 LV Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip tion of ARTIFICIAL rJ ErH,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not revire t•te extraction of roots, or any pain ful operation, and wit support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is ' , guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica • tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastication. 62, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. We imagined, at one time, that this thorough ness and practical bent was so essential to the national character, that an Englishman could not be found without it. We imagined that it gave nerve, and vigour, and "colour to each member of the race, in various proportions, still sufficiently marked to be perfectly intelligible. And we still are of opinion that very few Englishmen, if any, are born without it, and that it requires an in fluence very strong indeed, and singularly poison ous, to enervate and soften the hard, whey fibre of the national character into the poor, flabby, and sickly attempt at vigorous life, such as is from time to time to be found flickering amongst us. There is no doubt that the real, genuine Pro testant Church .of England, which has a horror of the supernatural, and shrinks from the priest hood, and holds the Bible in one hand and re spectable self-indulgence in the other, in its own way is practical and thorough. So on the- other hand is the Catholic Church, as it stands in this country, thorough in its belief and practical in its application. Indeed, from the very circum stances of the case, there is a greater display of thoroughness amongst English Catholics than there is to be found amongst Protestants. We are in the minority, our creed is looked upon with hatred and as an old-world dream, our priests are dreaded and loathed, and we still have to undergo that species of intellectual or moral persecution which is more galling than physical violence, and more difficult in the long run to:bear. Take, for instance, the attitude of Cardinal Wiseman, when the Papal Aggression mania was at its height. He showed the genuine English courage ; he was bold and thorough, and outspoken and manly ; and though the country was too blind with passion at the time to acknowledge it, it made ample amends at the Cardinal's death. Take, also, his successor. The same firmness, clearness and calm ness, the true English courage in asserting un palatable truth, is to be found. We know no Eng lishman more English than the Archbishop of West minster. He loves his country with a deep and genuine devotion, reverences her for her past, and eagerly anticipatesler future. He does not divide and accommodate, and compromise. He loves the whole truth in all the breadth and fulness of its outline, and would extend her borders and spread her tents with a quiet and calm determination, which speaks both of a conviction and of a courage which his greatest opponents must ad mire. He has spoken, and spoken . boldly, on all those questions which are vital to religion, and unpopular in the world—on the temporal power, on the relation of politics and religion, on the Papacy, on the supernatural, on the infallibility of / J. /7/./- tf/ '----.

STAMPED sd. CdAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. (F•om the haring Times.) IVhen A dmiral Rous gave his decision respecting " The Soiled Dove Case " this journal persistently advocated the just claims of the unfortunate backers of that mare, and insisted on a reversal of his judg ment, which pressed so unfairly on them, months before any other of the Sporting Press had a word to say on their behalf. Welhave no hesitation now in stating that the referee's award in the late match for the Championship of the Thames ought to be contested on several grounds, the principal of which are the incompetency of the official in question, and. that he clearly usurped an authority which previous to a start being effected, or proper attempts on his part to obtain one, he was not entitled to do. In either a common-sense or legal point of view Mr. Biffen's judgment was wrong, and although he drew [erroneous?] inferences and acted according to "the dictates of my conscience," which, for the sake of argument, we will grant he did, it is very much to be questioned if that will be any satisfaction to:the backers of Sadler. A referee should take nothing for granted, and there are other dictates besides those of a man's Conscience which are equally im portant, and would have served Mr. Biffen in better stead on the occasion in question. Let us suppose for a moment the case was that of the great match some sixteen years ago b etween the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur, when half the world felt an interest in it. Would it have been the duty or within the province of the referee or judge to receive the complaint of one of the riders, and on an ex parte statement, out of' sight and hearing of the other party, to give him authority if his opponent refused to start, to go over the course, and then award him the stakes, especially if it could be proved the latter half of his instructions only was carried into effect. Such an unfortunate occurrence, it is true, could not have occurred therein, because a person was appointed to fulfil the duty of starter ; but if an omission of the same nature had occurred, is it likely that the late Earl of Eglinton or Lord Zotland would have allowed such a decision to pass unquestioned ? In thisinstance—although when the articles were signed Sadler's representative proposed that they should start from two boats, as is usual in University matches, and also that the course should be buoyed for the first mile and a half, to prrevent. fouling, Kelley objected, or clauses to that effect would have been inserted —it was left to mutual:agreement. A court of justice will only t►ke facts into con sideration, and unless Mr. Biffen can prove that Sadler refused to start, which he denies, or at any rate give satisfactory proof that he did not intend to do so, it will, we'think, be equally palpable to both judge and jury, as it is to ourselves, that he had no power to adjudicate on the matter, and exceeded the duties which attach to a referee under such circumstances. At the same time no reason able person would have blamed him had he gone to the starting post, from which he was always three hundred yards distant (according to Bell's Life sometimes half a mile), and used his influence with both men to start in a 'satisfactory manner ; but in case of his failing in the attempt we should very much doubt whether he then had the authority to decide the match in Kelley's favour. In future, at least, we may hope a clause relative to starting in aquatic matches will always be inserted. We have great pleasure in quoting the following communication, which appeared in the Illustrated Sporting News of Saturday : Sir,—Your well-known impartiality has induced me to communicate with you, so that this —a most important questiou—should be if possible fairly analysed. You, sir have up to the present given no opinion, pro or con, as to the referee's conduct; and as the other portions of the sporting press seem to differ in opinion, the somewhat con siderable experience T have had as to the duties of a referee may, if appearing in your columns, tend to give the matter a clearer aspect. To all your readers who are conversant with boatracing and the champion course it will be at once patent that, in crossing from the Point to the Soap works, if the man with the Middlesex station bore the man on the Surrey side so far that the latter inusteither go out of his course or foul, in the event of such foul taking place the Middlesex-side man is the guilty party, and according to all decisions made up till last Wednesday, has been de cided against, whenever such foul has occurred. In the race on Wednesday last, it is admitted by all that Sadler had no alternative but to go ashore at the Seapworks or to foul Kelley ; and of course he preferred the latter. The backers of Sadler imagined that he had won, rule and precedent being so much in their favour, especially when they called to mind the fact that for less than half as glar ing an error Sadler was disqualified in his race with Chambers. The intelligence of the referee's decision as to the foul was, however, received in the most quiet and orderly manner, those who had backed Sadler being rather dis appointed, but making no noisy demonstration—the pros pect of a splendid race on the morrow perhaps softening their sorrow. As everybody knows, they were doomed to a most grievous disappointment. Now, sir, comes the most remarkable part of the question. Two men make a match, and agree to start by "mutual consent," therefore it is a notorious fact that the referee has no power until the men have actually started. The law relating to "mutual consent" is the same in the aquatic as in the pedestrian world, and many races in the North, on which thousands of pounds depend, are settled in this manner, the referee having no power, unless a certain time (mentioned in the articles) has elapsed. if no time is mentioned, then the men must remain at the post until they do start, or mu tually agree otherwise. 1 speak advisedly when I say that this is the opinion not only of myself, but of some of the most distinguished of our athletes both professional and amateur. Even admitting, for the sake of argument, the referee's power to start the men ; who, viewing the mat ter impartially, would believe in the justice of that func tionary calling a man to the side of the official boat, and telling him to be the judge of his opponent's willingness to row, and to act accordingly, by rowing over if he thought proper ? Nobody can blame Kelley for availing himself of this " tip," and when he started, I, as an eye-witness, can aver that neither Sadler nor any one else but the chosen few who surrounded the referee was aware of the order. The infallibility of the referee was decided some four years ago in a court of law in London, when an obviously unjust do cision was set aside ; and I feel bound to assert that although on that occasion the_ official's behaviour was de cidedly indecent, it had much more ground of feasibility than that of Mr. Biffen. That gentleman has prejudiced his hitherto good name to a great extent ; the prevalent opinion in the neighbourhood of Putney being that collu sion must have taken place ; and however much the friends of Mr. Biffen and the backers of Kelley may feel disposed to believe in the fairness of the decision, that portion of the public which has no partisan or monetary bias cannot fail to sympathise with those gentlemen who have evinced their determination to take the matter out of the jurisdic tion of either stakeholder or referee. Apologising for my intrusion on your space, I enclose my name, and am, yours. Ex PEDES.

This society was commenced a little while ago by a few gentlemen, with a view of stopping adul teration in seeds, manures, and feeding stuffs, and of enabling farmers and landowners to supply themselves with the best machinery at wholesale prices. At the outset we were met by an organised opposition of the trade, which culminated in an almost general refusal to supply us with goods. We have, therefore, not only had to make our purchases through wholesale factors, losing in that way something of what an ordinary dealer gains, but we hayo lost besides much valuable custom, from the petty annoyances arising from this illiberal opposition. The result may be summed up as follows :—We commenced our enterprise with ten members and £257 subscribed capital. In three months we have grown to number forty-four members, subscribing £4OB capital, and we have on our books over one hundred ens-, tomers. Taking the average capital at £327, we have turned it over no less than four times, transictirtg £1,874 16s. sd. of business, and realising gross profits equal t 0,., the amount of capital with which we commenced—a re., markable proof of the advantages which can be easily ob., tained by a few cash buyers associating themselves together under co-operative arrangements. The working expenses. have inevitably been large, but the arrangements now , organised will suffice for a very much more extensive busi t ' ness. In consequence of so large a number of our friends, being reluctant at first to join the association, but willing to assist by purchasing through our agency ; we have cleared our working expenses without touching the profits of our members, and we are thus in a position to returns now to the latter the maximum dividend of 7. per cent. per annum on their capital, and three-fourths of the trade discounts realised on their purchases, to non-members three-eighths of theirs, and to reserve a small surplus as the nucleus of a reserve fund. The return to our mem, bers under this arrangement will be equal to a discount of 11 per cent on their purchases, besides fair interest on their investments. Wo aro now gaining strength and have a confident assurance of ultimate tangos. "Manchester, Dec. 4." THE BURNING OR HER M4JZSZT'IS The 4ollowing account of . thiscataqtropheou it comes from Mr. Hargrave Jennings, the secretary to Her Majesty's Theatre, and the auditor of the accounts of the managerac-nt, bo defended on as strictly correct : " Mr. Jennings was, as usual, all day in the theatre, and was the only person in the house with the three firemen, Brown, Easton, and Maynard, and the hall-keeper and general custodian of the building, Mr. Sprules, and his wife, when the fire broke out. Mr. Jennings was forced from the theatre by the building being filled with smoke and the roof flaming with fire at exactly a quar ter-past eleven, as he had an instant before made reference to his watch. Noticing the intensely red illumination of his room, which unnatural and fearful lid:; totally overcame the white brightness of two gas globes and the fire which was burning, in the grate, Mr. Jennings looked out into the Haymarket, and saw the façade of buildings, and, at the end of Suffolk-place, all the large windows of the Union Club, blazing with strong, flickering light, exactly like the effect of a splendid golden sunset, deepening into red, on a clear summer , evening. A passage of some length, opening at right angles to another long passage, which is the usual tho roughfare between the hall and the staircase leading up to the stage, was, when he opened his door and entered the passage, full of smoke. From the absence of the usual gas-burners, which for the sake of economy on a lay of non-performance, as Friday was, were not lit—Mr. Jennings had difficulty in making his way through this long, dark passage instinctively, from his intimate know ledge of the ramifications of the theatre, by feeling his way along the wall, until discovering the hall, to the right, and the egress into the Opera Colonnade. The ball he could with difficulty see across, from its being filled with clack, rolling smoke, which was at that moment poring before the force of the raging flames at the north-western end western sides of the theatre, which were confined, with out windows, by brick walls and buildings. At this time the hall was vacant. Not a soul was to be seen or heard, and on forcing the street door back, and emerging into the street, Mr. Jennings encountered the first policeman, who with extraordinary effectiveness and promptitude, was giving the alarm right and left, and forcibly opposed Mr. Jennings's desire and intention to return into the theatre,' and rescue his books and papers and property. At this time scattered policemen and a miscellaneous group of people were running towards the building, and the audience then quitting the Haymarket Theatre were congregating in the vacant roadway in front of the burning buildings,: . where the cloud of smoke was rolling. At this time not an engine was to be seen, and only policemen and scat tered vehicles, and the usual crowd which occupies the Haymarket ; even fewer persons were about than usually seen. But it is to be considered that the hour was late. There cannot be a doubt that the fire, which must have been smouldering for hour; hours before, might have been detected, since the smell of smoke, and espe cially that with a tinge of fire in it, is a great betrayer. In this view there is no doubt that if any one had been in this, the most remote and least frequented part of the building at eight, or even seven o'clock, the threaten 7 ing enemy might have been noticed, At this time there was really no extraordinary alarm in the street ; but the work of the fire was perfectly bewildering and contradictory in its speed and modes of operai Lion. We are quite sure tnat we are quite correct in stating that twenty minutes did this destroying work over the bulk of the theatre. The whole of London was illuminated for miles, and the various church steeples shewed, spiring up, like fiery obelisks, or torches, or as fingerposts to point out space to the hurrying thousands who were surging in one wild alarm of horses, men, equipages, police, and firemen. The roof of the theatre fell in masses, as it seemed, deep down into the gigantic mouth of the vast area or pit, now filled and alive with fire, and scattering off, like rockets, its vaulting clouds of sparks, similarly to monster flights of fireflies, laterally and to skyward. The four hollow walls of the late, splendid edifice were now as the curve of a prodigious, black cup, in which anoble sacrifice of art has been made. , Such was the grand end to this theatre. " To Mr. Mapleson this proves a most serious check it - ha difficulty. We are given to understand that the savings of his entire operatic career, to the amount of £12,000, are wholly gone. Furniture, fittings, the new magnificent organ, four hundred new stalls of the most complete mann', facture, music library, irreparable in its loss, hundreds of costumes of all the operas, both for male and female ar tistes, the gigantic central chandelier and the new gas lustres round the tiers, musical instruments, draperies,' pianofortes—in fact, all his apparatus and fittings neces sary for furnishing out confessedly the most beautiful and perfect opera-house in the world—all have gone." The damage done by the fire is now precisely known, but it is difficult to estimate it in figures —some statements going as high as £250,000. It has been stated that Mr. Santley's property has escaped —a circumstance that will be very gratifying to the admirers of the great English baritone. Almost all the members of the orchestra have lost their instruments, amongst which were some old and valuable violins, and about 300 persons have been suddenly thrown out of employment. The destruction of the MS. scores of old operas will be greatly lamented, but has not been so large as at first supposed, owing to the fact that a number of the manuscripts were kept in a Reliance fire:, proof safe, which withstood the fire. The amount of insurances effected on the theatre and the surrounding premises cannot be yet exactly ascertained, but it is roughly estimated at about £200,000. It is said that several of the London managers of theatres have promised the use of their establishments for benefits in aid of the persons who have been thrown out of employment. In reference to the theatre, the Morning Herald re: marks :—" What a caeticious train has passed across that stage now crumbled to ashes ! Caffarelli, who could sing well at 65, who amassed in London enough money to buy him a dukedom at home, and who told a prince of his day that he had in him the voice of any two of the then living artists ; Gabrielli, who would not sing to the Empress of Russia, after her London triumphs, for less than 5,000 ducats, who was told by the Czarina, that not one of her generals received so much, who replied, ' You had bettor ask your generals to sing for you,' and who thus, ty being indomitably impudent, obtained the sum she had asked ; Mara, who came here with a reputation gained by her having refused to sing for Frederick the Great, and who, after the burning down of the King's Theetre, was prima donna at the Pantheon ; Banti, who bequeathed her larynx to the municipality of Bologna, in which city it is devoutly cherished in a glass case ; Billington, " the Wonder ;" Braham,who came in with the century and sur prised a generation unaccustome d to English voices; and then Catalani, who for a while suppressed all rivalry, queened it in the domain of songstresses, delighted all hearers, in-' sisted upon half the gross receipts of the Opera House, and netted £20,000 in six months. With even that ex orbitant burden upon it, the Opera House flourished for the season.
