ROYAL LYCEUM THE THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, or though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that ho sees any one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an OK traTaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and rashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. Ho believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of SHCCCSS so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. lie would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment or the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, !hat, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. . The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro 'essor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in erest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which Atend a belief in the superstitions nonsense of the " Spiri 'ualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expostS of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table plienotnewt, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible - or Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets 'hat many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance he following, ex tracted from the Morairv:Actiertiser of y, .geptem ber 20, and taken by that journal from th New York. Spirc t'ial Telegraph, It purportslci emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr.. D. D. Hume -;—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that be is sorely puzzled' at what lie has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernm"nt to bear upon the 'olution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently loft England, and the following account of who, and what ho is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is we'l-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact In London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for ho was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Byen if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when be finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from ono who was present when be and Lord Brougham had their Lance with the spirits in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day ate permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual :sts of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period.

At the same time the British Government, while establishing depots for enlistment within its own dominions on the American continent, gave the mast stringent orders that nothing should be done in the endeavour to obtain recruits to violate the municipal law of the United States—a direction which, with all deference t.) the American Attorney- General, seems to us to show an intention to re spect, instead of to violate, the national sovereignty of the Union.

We think that the attempt to obtain recruits in the Unitod States, in the face of -a. law forbidding such recruiting, was a very unwise and improper proceeding. No circumstances could have jua tified such a step. It appears, however, that in "authorising" the attempt tne British Government gave the most stringent in structions to all concerned not to violate the municipal law. What a strange contradiction is there in these directions. The "municipal law" of the States forbids the enlistment of recruits for foreign service. The Bri tish Government authorises that enlistment, but gives the " most stringent instructions to all concerned not to violate the law." _ _ However, it unhappily soin became only too apparent that the American Minister and the Bri tish Government had alike mistaken the disposition of our Transatlantic brethren. The sympathies of the land of freedom were found in great measure to be enlisted on the side of Russia. Whether it was a jealousy of the French alliance, a secret sympathy with the spirit of territorial aggression, wherever displayed, a desire on the part of the slave-holding States to counteract influences hos tile to their domestic institutions, or that the Irish refugees had inoculated the Union with their hatred of England, we cannot say ; but certain it is that accounts began speedily to reach this country of the hostile spirit in which our attempts at re cruiting were received, and the philo-Russian tone adopted, with a few honourable exceptions, by the whole American press, was but too apparent. The English Government did not wait to hear more ; it had been misled, and it hastened to retract its error. Orders were immediately despatched to America to desist from all attempts at recruiting, and to give no cause of annoyance to the suscep tibilities of the nation. In the meanwhile the American Government had, as well as the British, made its observations on the state of public feel ing, and determined not to neglect the oppor tunity of turning ; that feeling to account in the interest of the coming Presidential election of 1856. Proceedings were instituted against per sons who had acted, or were supposed to act, in the interest of the English recruiting service, and Mr. Crampton, the most popular Minister who has ever been accredited from this country to the Cabinet of Washington, was made the object of unmeasured abuse and vituperation. At the same time, the American Government desired their Minister iu London to make the strongest repre sentations as to the conduct of Great Britain, and to demand a discontinuance of all endeavours at recruiting in the States. The British Government answered in the most conciliatory tone that what . w a demand; irefid,Lckne,and offered explanations on the Subject;vaiia - goveaTiffeetli satisfactory to the American Minister, who could not but remember his own sanguine anticipations of a contrary feeling ; and so for a time the matter terminated. BLit the American Government was not so easily satisfied, and returned to the attack with a despatch of which we will only permit our selves to say that it was ill-calculated to restore good feeling between the two countries, and by no means a fitting acknowledgment of the readiness shown by our Ministry to recall a mistake into which they had been so innocently led. To this despatch the British Government has returned a temperate, but firm and dignified reply, and has seconded its diplomacy by strengthening its West India fleet with the ships that have arrived from the Baltic. And now, let us see how the British Minister, Mr. Crampton, carries out their instructions. He has to do an act which positively violates the municipal law, but he has to do it without any violation of it. Mr. Cramp ton accordingly tells the man whom he employs (Henry Hertz, by name)—" As far as I know there is a law in the United States forbidding the enlistment of soldiers within the territory of the United States ; it is, how ever, not difficult to evade this law, because who can prevent you from sending labourers to Canada ? Bat we must take care to do this in such a way that it shall not appear to be in defiance of the Government. My idea is, that if you have 25 or 30 men together, either your self, or some other confidential person, shall take them direct by railway to Montreal, where I think a depot may be erected ; ' Mr. Crampton having previously told this agent that " the British Government had made ar rangements to establish depots at some place in Ca nada, on the frontier of the United States." All this appears in an "alleged confession of Henry Hertz, recently convicted at Philadelphia of enlisting re cruits for the British service." Had this confession stood by itself we confess we should have placed no faith on its authenticity. We should have thought it impossible that British diplomacy would ever have had recourse to such degrading subter. fuges ; but, alas ! whether true or false, it cannot be denied that it is only the natural and necessary result of the instructions with which the representative of Great Britain was unquestionably furnished. We are much afraid that we liaie not yet-seen'the terminat;on of this lamentable affair. But the last act in the drama appeeri e - to be, that Great Britain has humbly begged pardon, • • for "the British Government has expressed its regret at the occurrence complained of; it has also peremp torily rescinded every order in existence permitting the enlistment of soldiers for the Crimea in any of tho North American provinces ;" " thus proving," as the New York Courier and Enquirer observes, " the sincerity of the regret of the British Government at what had oc curred" 1 ! Our hearts are too sa I to make any comments on these proceedings. DUBLIN, Wednesday.—Dr. Stock, judge of the Ad miralty Court, died yesterday. The storm still con tinues, but is somewhat lighter.

ANECDOTE CP MA.RBIED LIFE.—A gentleman who bad carefully trained up his servant the way he should go, so that when his wife was present he might not depart from it, sent him with a box-ticket for the theatre to the house of a young lady.

Some rode 40 miles to wit ness this painful drama, but he was executed and buried by the time they came to Alexandria. On the day before he was called to face death, some gentlemen visited him, and propounded questions to him, but his answers were, and could be no other than childish. He was, I believe, only ten years old. The gentlemen told him the sheriff was to hang him on the next morning, and asked bins what he thought of it, and whether he had made his peace with God, and why he did not pray I His s cope! . was, " I have been hung many a time I" Be be bad at thime, amusing himself with some marbles bnae_ c m e his cell.

Early blooms and late frosts produce large crops. vie Late blooms and early frost, on the contrary, produce short crops, or such is the p theory. The grow th of one year's crop is concluded in the statistics up to the Ist September of the following year. Hence an early frost in 1852 would appear in the statistics of 1853. In examin ing a table extending over a period of 19 years we find the earliest notice of a killing frost on the 7th Oct., 1838, when the crop was 0n1y1,350,100 bales. The latest date at which itappeared was on the 10th Dec. 1848, when the crop was 2,000,000 to 2,100,000. In 1851 no frost occurred until after the full maturity of the plant to in jure it, when the crop was 2,355,000.

Hence we have every reason to suppose, frost or no frost, that the growth of the present year (1855) must exceed that of 1854, and which has been variously estimated at from 8,200,000 to 3,500,000 bales. There is no doubt but the occurrence of the late early frost ma y cut off to some extent what is called the top growth cf the plants in considerable portions of the cotton region, and hence the circumstance has imparted more tone to the market here and at the Southern ports, in's' speotive of the European newa,—New rot* jigs* In this position affairs now stand, and we appeal to the conviction of our readers whether these transactions do not disclose on the part of our own Government a most commendable spirit of for bearance and moderation, and on the part of the Government of the United States a desire to force a quarrel upon us at a period when we may well be supposed to desire, above all things, the continu ance of our present friendly relations. We do not appeal to our own countrymen, for there is no one in England who has any other feeling to the United States than that of amity and goodwill, or who would regard a rupture with them as other than a heavy and grievous calamity, to be averted by all honourable means. But we appeal to the respectable, intelligent, and moderate portion of the American community, whose influence we are sorry to see not very apparent in the present proceedings of their Government, whether they will submit to see the alliance—we might almost call it the union—between the two coun tries endangered, and the vast interests of a commerce reciprocally beneficial imperilled, for the sake of obtaining a little popularity for a political party, and influencing, in however slight a degree, the elections of the coming year. Surely such mat ters as the continuance of a good understanding between England and America ought to be too grave for such heartless trifling. We cannot doubt there is in the United States a large number of persons standing aloof from the stormy conflicts of political life who are yet not willing to abandon the guidance of the vessel of the State in a moment so critical as the present to the rash and inconsiderate bands which are driving her straight upon the breakers. We trust that no word may fall from us to aggravate the ill-feeling which has been so unfortunately excited, or to embitter a quarrel which it is only due to our Government and peo .. ple to say that they have done nothing to provoke, and are willing to do everything consistent with honour to allay. We cannot believe, notwithstand ing the extraordinary language and conduct of the American Government, that they can really wish to drive matters to the extremity towards which they are so recklessly urging them ; but it is dan gerous to sport with the susceptibilities of two brave and high-spirited nations ; and those who are thus eager in letting out the waters of strife should consider well whether they have strength sufficient to close the floodgates they have opened.

Thus two English ships ordered to watch the movements of the Russian frigates and schooners at Pe tropaulovski anchor before the harbour, and keep their eyes fixed on th e R a s e i an mas t s which rise above the batteries. The allied squadrons arrive. The Russian ships are gone. The English £fficers rub their eyes, and ask if they have been duped by an illusion or mirage. The Allies sail towards Amoor after having destroyed the defensive work of Petropaulovski. The English per ceive a Russian frigate and schooner in a Japanese Lay. Hurrah ! the day of battle has arrived. The decks are cleared for action, and the bay is entered. A new.dis appointment. The frigate and schooner have disappeared. How did they escape ? No one knows, and the success of this miraculous flight is again ascribed to the fog. It is then deemed certain that in the Gulf of Saghalien, at the entrance to the river Amoor, will be found these un approachable vessels. One thing is alone feared, that they have been disarmed, sunk, and converted into batteries. Travellers report the formidable preparations they have seen, the rows of cannon, the ships shelved in the sand, and the narrow passages filled up with stones and rubbish. The Petropaulovski squadron appears before the Gulf of Saghalien, and finds it open, free, and no where are discovered fortifications or ships. Decidedly . Russian powers resembles those visions which dis- (pear on approaching them. Naliinktivoatipili this , • than. this perpetual flight of Rusivian ' gielsomi 4"foit' tifications, these coasts which are said Lobe impregnable, and which are found utterly undefended. The English, on entering the Gulf of Saghalien, which they did with out obstacle, found no other trac,? of Russian occupation than an open town, without defences and abandoned. This was the town of Ayan. A small iron steamer was found and destroyed by the English. In discovering the town, it was however discovered no t to be totally un inhabited. Two citizens of the United States, who had been bankrupts in San Francisco, had come to try their fortunes on Russian soil, and had brought with them a cargo of planks. The flight of the inhabitants had caused their speculation to fail, and they were on the point of leaving the place. The English allowed these two Tro jans to start on their unknown destination. The squad ron then attempted to enter the river, but no channel deep enough to receive vessels of war could be dis covered. The boats were therefore armed and received orders to ascend the river. Their researches were in vain, and they returned to the Admiral with the conviction that if the Russians had any military establishments in these regions they were far in land. However, it is certain that the campaigns of 1854 and 1855, have been disastrous to the Russian navy. Nowhere has it found the Allies, and it has always sought safety in flight. At Sebastopol it only found refuge under the water of the port. At Cron stadt and Sweaborg it remained concealed behind the land batteries. These tactics would be excusable if the Allies had always presented themselves in superior force, but far from that, detachments of the fleet with the Eng lish and French flags, have scoured with impunity the Baltic Sea, destroying all the Government stores with out being attacked by the Russian vessels, who were infinitely stronger and more numerous. In the Pacific the frigates of the same nation have subsided into mere jack-o'-lanterns. There remains this day to the Russian navy only the recollection of Sloops, and it is not that event which will reestablish its reputation." Spirit of the Public Journals. ( Front the Morning Herald of this dew. ) We need not go back to the days of Alexander and Thais, to prove how worthless an instrument may suffice to plunge an empire into ruin. But the parasites and prostitutes of modern times differ in many external respects from the flatterers and betrayers of ancient or medwaval days. The " three tailors of Tooley-street," with their mani festoes in behalf of " the people of England," con stitute oue of our chief dangers—fearful, though ludicrous ; destructive, even while it is contemp tible. _ The great embodiment of the " three tailors," at the present moment, is found in a London news paper, which not only pretends to speak in behalf of the peop!e of England, but has repeated this fiction so long and so often, that it comes at last to be believed. One of the most embarrassing circnm- stances, we are well aware, which attends any Government in England just now is, the fancy which possesses many politicians on the Continent, and many more in America, that the Times speaks, sometimes for the Government, at other times for the people. Both are fictions; but if they passofor truth they do as much mischief as if they were really true. In this way the Times bad a chief hand in plunging England into the present war. In the early. part of 1853, when the Emperor Nicholas saw his " obi friend Aberdeen " in power, he desired Baron Brunow to sound the English Cabinet about Turkey. The language used was jut -that which was used4o. Sir Hamilton Seymour . at St. Peters burg. Turkey was " the sick and likely soon to die. What was to be done with the estate, which would be left without an - owner ?. Should Russia begin to take measures ? The answer Baron Brunow received was, " Do just what you like; we shall not interfere with you." Satisfied as to the acquiescence of the British Cabinet, the agents of Russia next began to con sider how tho people of England would be likely to regard such a movement as the Czar contemplated. Wo know not, nor does it much signify, whether the Times merely " followed the lead" of Lord Aberdeen, or whether it was propitiated by any of the numerous agents, male or female, whom Russia has been in the habit of maintaining in all the chief European capitals. It is enough for us to know that the Times said to Russia in leading articles what Lord Aberdeen had already said in private conversation—" Do what you please ; we shall offer no objection." It was on the 2d of March, 1853, that the Times wrote as follows : " The time is approaching when the maintenance of the Ottoman empire in its present form will be found to be impracticable, and acknowledged to be undesirable : but whatever vicissitudes the Christian and Sclavonic provinces of Turkey may witness, they can pass under no form of Govern ment more barbarous, wasting, and oppressive than that which has so long overwhelmed them. We profess, therefore, to feel no anxiety for the main tenance of the Ottoman empire, which bears the stamp of a tyrannical past, a worthless present, and an extinct future." " The question is whether we aro to leave the tottering edifice to fall mole sua, or to provide against such a calamity ?" Here w© had the Times "' saying ditto" to the Emperor Nicholas. " What shall we do about the sick man 1" asked the Czar of Sir Hamilton Seymour. " Shall we leavo the edifice to f►ll, or provide _ against such a calamity ?" echoed the Times. Baron Brunow had thus made all safe, had se cured the acquiescence of the British Government, and had induced the Times to talk as pure Russian as could be learned in St. Petersburg. So pre pared, Prince Menschikoff was sent to Constanti nople, and the army was put in motion. Unluckily the mperor found out, atter a while, that neither Lord Aberdeen nor the Times had any right to speak in the name of England. The " old friend," " the excellent Aberdeen," had to declare war ; and the Times which, in March, " had no anxiety for the _ _ maintenance of the Ottoman empire," had right round before, and had resolved that the Otto man empire should be maintained against Russia and against all comers. Unluckily, however, these conversions came too late. The delusive encouragements of March had induced the Emperor to embark in a course from which he was too proiq to turn„huk, His old. frielA> AberdeeninnikkirlitinibUtslaiv,tthe had led him astray ; but the mischief was now done. The war was, in fact, begun. And its origin was a mistake as to the influence of Lord Aberdeen and as to the power of the Times. So began this great war. But we refer to this long-past fact, chiefly be cause we see too much reason to fear a second blunder of the same kind, or even still more serious. A misfortune of the gravest kind is threatening us, and, again, the foolish pretensoins of the Times may have some considerable share in bringing it on. For the last two or three weeks a most absurd rumour has been bruited abroad—so absurd, in fact, that we have not thought it worth while to allude to it—namely, that England and France were entering into a treaty with Spain, which king dom was to furnish, like Sardinia, a contingent of 25,000 men to the army in the Crimea, while Eng land and France, in return, were to guarantee to Spain the quiet possession of Cuba. Now the manifest absurdity of this was two-fold :-1, that Spanish troops, in Russia, were likely to be worth less—a mere incumbrance ; while, 2, our inter ference between Spain and America exposed us to the danger of a new war with a nation of 20,000,000 of proud and pugnacious men. We disbelieved, therefore, the whole story, as one too bad to be credited even of Lord Palmerston himself. But, while we thus paused, there came out an article, of a professedly Ministerial hue, in the Times of last week, which tended to make matters worse, if pos sible, than they already were. This article avowed that the English Govern ment was reinforcing its West Indian squadron, and thus interposing a " powerful fleet" between this country and the North American continent. This avowal at once entitles the Americans to demand some explanations. Now an evasive or false expla nation is an insult. What, then, are we to say of such talk as the following : " At this moment North America is in profound peace with the whole world • yet it is not the less true that in her p or t s are fitting out at this moment piratical filibustering expeditions, destined to carry war and bloodshed into the dominions of an un offending neighbour. These explanations do not receive the sanction of the American Government, are not equipped by its funds, will not be conducted by its officers—but their preparation is neverthe less well known to the President and his Adminis tration, and receives no check from that quarter." " That which she cannot do we are compelled, at least so far as the lawless enterprises directed against ourselves go, to do for her. We cannot wait patiently till these lawless emissaries of insurrec tion and plunder have set their feet within her Majesty's dominions, and encountered there the resistance which is sure to overwhelm their wild and desperate schemes. We cannot wait till we are placed in the terrible dilemma of either sparing men to whom clemency is cruelty to the human race, of which they are the enemies, or of inflicting a just punishment, which may be the means of inflaming against us the passions of the American people and leading to a disastrous and fratricidal war. We will, if i t be possible, prevent the crime that other wise it would be our duty most severely to punish, and this we do in the name and in the hope of peace. We cannot believe that those who are now engaged in enrolling unhappy men for these desperate and criminal enterprises really contemplate the success of a descent upon Ireland, for instance, as probable, or even possible." The talk about a descent on Ireland is too ab surd to be maintained for a single moment. No British Minister could gravely advance such a be lief in a conference with an American ambassador. It is a baseless, and therefore a foolish pretext. But there remains, unhappily, the avowed fact of a "powerful fleet" assembled in the West Indies. What rational account can we give of this to our Transatlantic brethren ? If we say, frankly, "It is to keep your people from seizing upon Cuba," that very reply may be the surest way of setting America in a blaze, and of causing the whole nation to resolve to take Cuba at once, just because we were so insolent as to undertake to prevent them. But of all possible follies, the worst was that con tained in the Times article. If that article is con ceived e t n o t sp o e r theaktheEsenngsleisheitpheeorpolfe,thteheEnngalivt Go vernment most unfortunate, unnatural war—with the united States is an event most alarmingly probable. 1 ly (Fromm the Morning Post of this day.) Although it cannot for a moment be doubted that the English Government has acted in strict conformity with law, in directing the Lieutenant-Governor 0f have to remove from that island the 33 refugees, who in famously violated the hospitality which in every por tion of the British dominions is extended to foreigners, "so long as they behave themselvey peaceably," it is banish aliens from the well that the public should be in formed of the precise course (sanctioned by precedent and authority) which has been adopted in freeing Jersey from the p resence of these missionaries of assassin ation, treason, and infidelit y .

MADLLE. RACHEL AT'NEW YORK. THE MARSEILLAISE. The Rachel speculation which was stated to be rapidly failing appears to have received a new impetus by her "Marseillaise," which it will be recollected, she declined to sing when first applied to by her countrymen in America. We find the following enthusiastic notices of her performances of this republican hymn in the New York papers : On the night of the 9th, the combined attractions of " Les Boraces," and the " Marseillaise" filled the me tropolitan theatre, New York, to suffocation. Long before the commencement of the tragedy, the sale of tickets for the cheaper parts of the house bad to be stopped. Seats were sold by thespeculators in the street for 8 and 10 dole. The New York Times says :—"The Marseillaise followed the tragedy, which, for some managerial rea son, followed the farce. As every one went to bear the hymn, a different arrangement, if practicablo, might be desirable. If the hymn had preceded the tragedy, Madlle. Rachel would have had time to recruit her ener gies in the earlier scenes, where little passion is required. But coming, as it did, after the immense physical and mental strain of the fourth act, we can only wonder that Madlle. Rachel's strength held out as it did. What shall we say of the hymn itself / Imagine a pale, beautiful woman, quivering with excitement, clasping the trio colour in her nervous hand and crouched in weakness beneath its sacred folds. Imagine this woman delivering a word picture. Every sugge-tion of language is re flected in her countenance, or visibly telegraphed by her hands. Imagine this in connection with the words of the Marseillaise,' and you have the best idea we can give you of the performance. Madlle. Rachel sings the music of the hymn thoroughly. The effort appeared to cost her some laliour, and, deubtless, much of the enthu siasm that would have been elicited under other circum stances was damped by the palpabl e fati g ue of the g reat tragedienne. At times it was almost p ainful to witness." The New York Courier says La Marseillaise' crowned the evening. What was it / Singing A. hoarse voice, broken, incapable of sustaining the melody of the simplest romance, and utter want of skill in •vocal ism— such are Rachel's gifts as a songstress. But what could melody have added to that inspired chant of liberty i Melody would have made it a different thing ; but how far from being a better I She quivered and cried out as the spirit worked its will with her, and made her utter its fierce hatred and fiercer hopes. Death flamed from her eye, and the frantic wave of her hand was like a call to vengeance. The house was alternately hushed and in an uproar. FATAL ACOIDINT.—A man na med Baudry, employed in a sugar manufactory at St. Quentin, was sent on Sa turday with a cart load of goods to the village of Seran court. On arriving at the level crossing of the northern railway at that place, be found that a train was ex• petted, and that the gates were closed. Ho imprudent' left his horse in the middle of the road, and went into an adjacent public-house, to wait until the train should pass. The shrill whistle of the locomotive, which was presently heard, caused the horse to take fright, and, turning sharply round, it ran into the court-yard of the railway station. Baudry rushed after the animal, but, endeay.,:iiiog i t by the head, he was p resse d by the shaft against a wall with such violence that he fell dead. 1 _ I isa OZI hti 'H, ter Vs, vs, et, hn Btu ....
