A little fur ther inquiry into the state of the college forces us to make a positive demand for Par liamentary inquiry. It seems that in the year of grace 1849 an oath still conti nues t o b e a d m i n i s tered in this college, binding the fellows to mutual secrecy, and to reveal nothing to one another's loss, scandal, infamy, or dishonour. In fact, so .strong are the words, that it a fellow wire to do an act in glaring violatioa of the laws, another fellow dare not reveal ir. By the same oath, if a fellow is deprived of his fellowship, he posi Lively swears that he will not hoe recourse to the jus• lice of his country, and will renounce every means which may be in his power to obtain redress; and we further observe that points to be referred to the Visitor are to be re:erred with the consent of the Rector and the major part of the fellows. Can any tyranny he greater? Cau any impunity for crime be more carefully pro vided for?

We say emphatically such a state of thirgs ought not n to bot. e allowed xo to exist, aid man, be politics i itic i s f can t they prevent eaint, deny that the case we have been insisting on is one fur Par liamentary interference. It is a palpable injustice, and a gross wrong to an individual. The conduct of a pyhlic body is proved to be one mass of disgraceful corruption. Legal authority to reach the case there is none existing. The strong hand of Parliament, and Parliament alone, can grapple with the evil. We do not mean to say that jobs or equal grossness are committed by the other col leges in the University ; we should blush for our coun try and the Church if it were so. But we do say that this is only on a larger scale what frequently goes on on a smaller. The whole system of fellowship elections wants revising. At present, fellowships only help to maintain men in idleness and inactivity. The whole pecuniary concerns of the respective colleges require to be loo t kea into. By th em an amount o f wea l t h i s swa ll owe d up lor purposes perfectly useless, sufficient for the sound edu cation of the country, without touching the general sys tem of the University. The whole University system wants to be fashioned in conformity to the wants of the age. H E itOY AL POLYTECHNIC HESE: P.S.

The high and universal celebrity which ROWLAND S' KALYDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing ex tirpator of all impurities of the skin, is during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, . eminently blisamic, restorative, aril invigorating, Is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots,' freckles, discolourations, and Other cutaneous visita tions. The radiant bloom it imp,rts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces in the hands and arms, render it indis pensable to every toilet. Gentlemen, after shaving, will find it any all irritation and ten derness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying and refreshing roperties have obtained its exclus ve ,election by her 3lajesty the Queen, the Court, and the Loyal Fatuily of Great lltain, and the several Courts of Europe. tt`..

Reader, remember, this letter was, put hat '.he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " ➢irs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoxe, of the Herbary, High ;ate to the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using ltabout four months, and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. . _ Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. (s.'s ttegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase in I is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex ,erience. not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund mce, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itl far )eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w crops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and ,recent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the flair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to tho toilet. In cases of nevous headache, peur ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an flour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See osraphlet of testimonials.

Blame not my admiration, when I say, I love the pleasures of a Derby Day ; For pleasing is the scene which yearly crowns The ver!ant slopes of Ep - om's far-famed Downs. The dawning of the day is ushered in With animating stir and welcome din ; And many a face with stalling gladness shows That many a breast with sporting ardour glows. This season is a holiday in which The young and old partake—the poor and rich. The road-side inns throuthout the exciting day, A scene of glad activity display ; While loaded vehicles from neighbouring towns Convey their thousands to the busy Downs. Blame not my admiration when I say I love the pleasures of a Derby Day. Is there not much to notice and admire In multitudes adorned with choice attire. On this glad day the crowded race-course shows The choicest specimens of summer clothes. Moses and Son are seen in every track, Arid I hid nearly said on every back ; And such attractions would alone repay A trip to Epsom on the Derby Day. lf, reader, you have never chanced to view What Moses' Dress Establishment can do. A visit to the Epsom Downs will show What vast improvements to this Mart we owe. Thee you will see the new Spring Wrappers worn, With every beauty that can well adorn ; And dress-coats, sporting-coats, and frock-coats too, And vests and trousers elegant to view ; While well-shod feet as well as well-decked crowns, Contribute to the scene on Epsom DE And render Moses with their choice display, Successful winners on the Derby Day.

I❑ our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at Use expense of an• other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, in the tidiest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the tbllowing outline of our novel, yet well appreciated • business system, will readily show. _ POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain 24 . ures, from which no deviation is alloy, ed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : s. d.

L. lIYAM, Proprietor. A K It 1 A G. E. 24 1 1 One half the world are desolately single, and the other upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a =ease of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em --Itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. ',rich (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining t:tem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, I,ut far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other Stile publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life wha owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servenes of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

Fitzclarence and staff on the ground, the troops deployed into line, formed open column, and marched past in quick and quar ter distance, the hands together playing the " Grenadiers' m.lr( h." The feu de joie then commenced by the Royal Artillery firing seven guns, the line then fired around, the Royal Marine Artillery finishing by seven guns; this was repeated twice in a similar manner. The men then gave three hearty cheers, the signal being given by Lord F. Fitzclarence, in which most of the vast assembly gathered there cordially joined. The line then advanced, and presented arms, the bands together playing " God save the Queen." Thu whole was under the superintendence of Captain J. Home Purves, Major of Brigade. Lord F. Fitzclarence entertains the heads of depart ments at dinner this evening.

HEYWOOD'S MOTION. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of Uni versity Reform in its bearings on the interests of the community at large. There is too general a feeling, that only a narrow class is interested in that question. But it does not involve the interest of a mere section of the community. Apart from its direct bearing on the Church, the whole education of the country is immedi ately affected by the system practised at the Universi ties. Ever town, every village, every parent, therefore, is interested in this question. Or late year, a flood of servile doctrine has poured forth from the University of Oxford, which has well nigh gone the length of unpro testentizing the national Church. The question is, whence comes this? Can the evil be traced to the inherent constitution of the Universities? Are the y in conformity with the wants of the age and nation? We arc desirous or nirectirg the attention of the public to this subject, because an attempt is on the eve of being made in Parliament to obtain an examin.tion into their present condition. Four years have now elapsed since any effort has been made to obtain legislative inquiry. The numbers who negatived Mr. Chri , tie's last motion on the subject in the House of Commons were such as to read to the Universities a salutary warning. The public were told by the opponents of reform, we have some de fects truly, but we will reform ourselves. Only let no Parliamentary inquiry take place, don't expose the ble mishes of alma mater to the gaze of day, have a little mercy at least for a short time, and we will thoroughly set our house in order. The abuses you have heard of, you sl - all hear of no more. Our elections shall be puri• fled, our system reorganized. the cathedrals pro mised in the day of their tribulation, that if they were only spared from the devouring hand of the spoiler, they would become the very pillars of the Church. We will not promise, but perform. Corruption shall no more be named. We will become what our title imports—a University. The public now anxiously inquire, have these pro mises been performed? The Universities have been placed on their trial. The fruits which have come from a system of self reform nave been . tested by the results. Whether ,any eraptasytetena, t!n reform itself is a ques tion which experience usually aniivere in -the negative. Diseased persons cannot amputate their own limbs, or perform operations on their own persons. To root out cherished abuses, which exist for one's own profit alone, is an act of self-denial which cannot be looked for from human nature. We return to the question, What have the Univerities done? To Cambridge we return our thanks for what has been accomplished there, humbly suggesting that much remains yet to be done thoroughly to reform the system, and place education on a sound basis. Cambridge has been a place for the study of mathematics on a nar row basis. It has yet to be made a University. But Oxford, the land of immoveability, what has been done there? We must not disguise the fact—absolutely nothing ; for the so-calied recent changes in the Uni versity examinations are a farce. We have been told, be sides, that there are parties prepared so to work them, that they should absolutely produce no result. That Oxford has done nothing we now address ourselves to the proof. The public humbly thought, that the exclusion of every thing modern from the studies of the University of Ox. ford could no longer be tolerated; still everything modern, whether science, art, or history, is excluded. The public were of opinion, that a system formed ex clusively for the interests of private tutors should no longer be permitted to exist; still it not only exists but flourishes. The public thought that a body of profes sors ought not to be paid for doing nothing, or for lec turing to empty benches; still the professors are a non entity. The public thought it was unchristian to ad minister oaths to parties. who neither understood nor had even read what they were called on to subscribe, and to take oaths to obey what it was never intended that the party should obey ; still these oaths are administered. The public thought, that in a literary society it was not to be borne that elections to fellowships should be determined by almost every other consideration than the literary merit of the candidate. Oxford has had space given her for repentance, and she repents not. This latter point is a grievance quite distinct from the grievances which abound in the University as a body corporate. It re spects every individual college and hall in Oxford. Respecting the mode of election to fellowships, we bring against the Colleges the strong charge of cor ruption. As we consider this state of things at Oxford to be an indelible blot on the University, we particularly call the attention of the public to this topic. Recent matters have given an unfortunate prominence to a particular case, and before relating it we would premise that much as we feel as to the educational stagnation at Oxford, and deeply as we are impressed with its corruption, we think that it is a caae of peculiar atrocity. It will be, how ever, a direct demonstration of our view of the instant need of legislative interference. Our readers have all heard of Mr. Froude. This gentleman, when Fellow of Exeter College, wrote a book, not in the common setrie of the word, infidel, but blasphemous. This circumstance has brought to light a system of jobbery and knavery respecting Exeter College elections, which we hope, for the honour of human nature, is not of frequent occurrence in the Uni versity. We are indebted to the pages of the Church and State Gazette for tne following facts:— It is the custom at Exeter College, OxfOrd, to invite candidates for fellowships by public advertisement, in the same manner as is the custom of other colleges in the University. These advertisements require the pro duction of college testimonials, and that a candidate should enter his name before a certain day ; otherwise it is an understood thing in the University that the party should stand exctuded. One who was a few years ago a devoted disciple of Mr. Newman, and a contributor to the celebrated " Lives of the Saints," was desirous of becoming a candidate for an Exeter fellowship. He is re fused the testimonials of his College, Oriel, having been rusticated for an affair contra bones mores. But True tarianism he knew would cover a multitude of sins. The Rector happens one day to be from home, Mr. Froude very conveniently calls on Mr. Sewell, the Sub- Rector, the author of "Christian Morals." Mr. Sewell is unable to perceive that Mr. Froude had not his college testimonials. Mr. Sewell plainly tells us, that he con siders the absence or presence of college testimonials as mere matter of form, as testifies his letter to the Morn ing Herald. The Rector returns, discovers the fraud, hut although, according to his statement, he disapproves of the whole transaction, ho neither removes the party , from being a candidate, but he permits him to be ex amined for four days, and subsequently elected. When it was publicly known that Mr. Froude had been elected by Exeter College without testimonials, after rustica tion, and that Mr. Froude from Tractarianism had turned to blaspheming infidelity, the Rector seems to have felt this circumstance a little damaging to his character as Prince Albert's chaplain. He accordingly writes a letter to the Morning Herald in his own vindication; and here we cannot help expressing our wonder, that a man holding a public situation like the Rector, ehould have ventured on such a step. The plain English of the letter written by the Rector was, that the election was began and finished during his absence, and without his approbation. The Morning Herald and Standard both drew the conclusion from the Rector's letter, that he was not present at the election. The Herald, as we find, when informed of its error, refused to correct it, for reasons which they will doubtless be able satisfactorily to explain. One would have thought that a single job of this kind was enough to perpetrate on a single day,but the Rector and fellows thought they might as well do the matter thoroughly. The Rector's letter drew forth a reply from a gentleman who had already brought these elections under the cognisance of the only party legally compe tent to try them—the Visitor of the college. This gen tleman was actually in possession of the Rector's asser tion, signed by his own hand, that the Rector was pre sent at the election. The particulars of this latter case have already been made public, Mr. Christie having stated the case in the House of Commons. The brief history of that case was as follows:—The Rev. Mr. Row, a second-class man, and now head master of the Mans field Grammar School, offered himself a candidate for another fellowship at Exeter College. The usual adver tisement was inserted, and the college, forgetful of all decency, in the language cf their own visitor, the Bishop of Exeter, " After an invitation to candidates by public advertisement, the requisition of certain forms of testi monial, the appointment and actual institution of an examination of the caudidates for one day, elected one who was not a candidate, who did not present the re quired testimonials, who was not examined, nor pre sent, and a lower class man; and all this without declaring the existing candidate incompetent; and while bound by oath to elect those b e tt er su it e d t o make proficiency, the better moral characters and the poorer in circumstances." It should be observed, however, that the party thus rejected was a sound Pro testant, and the party elected a personal friend of the Rector and endued with the only theological sentiments which find acceptance at this college. It seems, also, that on a former occasion the same par ties were candidates for a fellowship at this college, in company with another second-class man and an under graduate. On this occasion the undergraduate was suc cessful, but subsequently narrowly escaped being plucked, having, however, the redeeming point of be ing nephew to a baronet. We have heard, also, that on the same day another candidate was elected, despite the clause in the oath about poverty, who was possessed of a large fortune. Now all these are facts and no fiction; and we leave it to the public to say whether they are not utterly condemnatory of the college. But it may be said, every wrong has a legal remedy. Invoke the aid of the law, and not of a Parliamentary inquiry. Mr. 1-low's case is conclusive on this point. It has been brought before the Visitor. It has been decided by the competent tribunal. In his judgment the;V, isitor declares, that while Mr. Rowe has gr eat reason tor dwelling on these points, yet he has no power to inquire into or do justice to the case. The Rector and fellows are respon sible only to the tribunal of Heaven. There is no juris diction to which the Rector and fellows are amenable, or which can call them to account for their misdoings. We are also told that the Bishop of Exeter wrote the college a severe letter of censure for their conduct on the occasion; but here his power ends. We have dwelt thus particularly on this case, because it proves that nu existing machinery is capable of reaching the vices of palpable; this system. The corruption of the college is TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. a recent number of your journal there is a .notioe,of benevolent e x er ti ons ma d e b y au emine nt di vine in the Established Church of England and Ireland so precise and discriminating, that I recognise clearly in the individual described the Roe. Dr. Martin, ex-Fellow of the University of Dublin, and rector of Killesbandra. If I am right, your description of this learned and ex emplary divine required the mention of one incident to complete it. Long before the famine had made itself felt, Dr. Mar _ _ tin foresaw that the visitation would surely come, and while others were supine or unbelieving, he had resolved that nothing in his power to do should be left undone, in order to make preparation for the threatened cala mity. Among other modes of preparation there was one which most seriously perilled his future prospects. He became a contractor for provisions, and made him self responsible, to the amount of several thousand pounds, for a supply of corn and flour. Had the mar kets fallen, Dr. Martin's whole property would suffer severely by the engagements he had entered into. But his speculation was but too correct—the market price of provisions fearfully increased. Had Dr. Martin, as he was clearly free to do, taken advantage of his own pru dential calculation, and as he would, have been most seriously injured by a fall of price, resolved to profit by the rise, he might have most largely ended to his store. But although responsible to no man on earth, having had no earthly associate in the risk he had run, he felt in fluenced by other obligations. He gave to charity the benefit of his enterprise, and instead of adding thou sands of pounds to his own stores, was the honoured in strument to feed thousands of his fellow-creatures. I am, Sir, yours, &c., D.D. [Our Correspondent is perfectly :right, it was to the Rev. Dr. Martin we had alluded in the article in question. The sum which that Rev. Gentleman ex pended in the purchase of provisions in the years 1846- 47 amounted to nearly 8,0004 sterling ; and although he might have gained at least fifty per cent. on the spe culation, he not only distributed the entire stock of pro visions, at first coat price, but was actually a considerable loser, from the quantity supplied to those who were unable to pay, even at the low prices at which he distri bated. The result of his benevolent foresight was that not only his own parishioners at Killeshandra, but the inhabitants of the surrounding districts were preserved from the frightful destitution that prevailed in other less favoured localities.—En. Sun.] BURIAL of the DEAD in TOWNS. To THE EDITOR OF' THESUN. " Give him a little earth for charity." Sits,—A month has novftelapsed since you inserted a letter from me on the above subject, particularly com menting on the shameful privNte speculation called Bun hill-fields, near the Old Kent-road. And as not the least defence has been ventured by the proprietors— (shameless shall we call them?)—we may consider that they think guilty silence, as before, the better for them. 1 find that, according to Mr. Walker's pamphlet, I have underrated the size, which he estimates at two thirds of au acre. But, with deference to this experienced authority, if the ground has not been measured I cannot believe it to be so much. It is the smallest looking three-eighths of an acre I ever saw. I have not, how ever, exaggerated the number buried, which he reckons at 1,560 yearly, 30 weekly. What, In Heaven's name, would not a country resident think of such a number fur two or three acres? But of this human shambles I might, from what I saw and beard, have safely taken the average at 40 weekly, with Sundays and other days, or 2,080 per annum. Next, Sir, I wish to consider the gains of this abominable place, which no one else has estimated. I will take the number at 1,560, and the average pay ment, low, at 7s.—then we have about 5501. a year. Allowing 1501. a year for the gravediggers, the " patten maker with 201. a year," who reads the service, and a couple of occasional assistants , who put on surplices for three or four shillings (there were three engaged when I was there), we shall find 400/. clear yearly profit for the temporary deposit of the dead—in, say, halt an acre! Really a very " good use" of the ground—that is by any scoundrels who have neither principle nor decency. Building certainly could not compete with it in any such locality. The only doubt is whether a third party should not step in, in the form of the Government and Legisla ture, to prevent such cruel indignity to the dead, with ruin to the health of the living. _ _ And, in as far as cheapness is the bait, it is a sad pity that the poorer classes, many of them Irish, should be thus led to place their departed relatives' corpses where they are sure of such unworthy treatment. Either the Government or the Church—separately or conjointly— should have more compassion upon them. Your long and able report of the meeting last Wed nesday—the first on the subject I have attended—has:an omission or two, which perhaps you will allow me to supply. Mr. Rogers' (a medical gentleman) " notes" on churchyards were new on the occasion. He admitted that St. Olave's, Silver-street, did more justice to the bodies in allowing the ground to be raised, because otherwise there must be some improper management when the ground was constantly filling, which is a fact I have sometimes thought of, and is extremely obvious. This is the only palliation at the Tabernacle, Tottenham court-road, and other places. The "borings" at St. Andrew's, Holborn, were stated by Mr. Ross, another medical man, not to be merely for the purpose of ascertaining the filling of the ground, but, wretched to relate, to let out the gas or effluvia from bodies; and that he had counted fifty such boles, " large enough to admit a candle," on a Sunday morning be/ore service ! Comment is little called for beyond a hope that the days of such practices, or the necessity for them, as at this un fortunate churchyard, are numbered. Mr. Carden, a barrister, who was much cheered, stated that the lute Rector (who must have been a Mr. Beres ford, a man of family and a high Churchman) spoke to him of the state of the ground as " shocking and infa mous" in 1825—nearly a quarter of a century ago! I beg, however, to repeat my humble testimony to the private worth of the majority of the clergy. And if, as in all other professions, there are a few whose loveable qualities have not conciliated sympathy and regard, we must not confiscate the just claims of the rest on that ac count. But the fact, lam quite assured, is that " Re formers " in this respect are not opposed to proper com pensation, and that circumstance, from its intrinsic con nexion, cannot be too generally immediately known. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. D. PARRY, KA.

The course of exchange at New York ou London is 1081 per cent., and the par of ex change between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.08 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. FOREIGN POTATOES.—There have been very numerous and extensive arrivals of potatoes within the past week or ten days, from Holland, Belgium, and France, and are an important feature in the importation of provisions into this metropolis from the continent of Europe. Our space will not permit our enumeration of ' these arrivals at the present time, but they have com prised several thousands of tons weight, and a large pro portion of them have been from Ilolland. These numerous and large importations of this description ot vegetable must ncccssarily be an important addition to the home supplies of the article. HER MAJE, .'S THEATIM' N 11e.

That she would sing the Di Placer as no one else on the stage can sing it, was a matter of course, and that its repetition should be redemanded enthusiastically was also a matter of course, but we were not prepared for the buoyant air of joyous delight with which she gave this delicious morcean, and from which we were inclined to augur favourably of . her histrionic display in the subsequent scents. — The scene which izmediately folloe s in which she meets with her lather, Fernando, as a fugitive and deserter, was very fine ly given, and her indignant rejection of-the advances of the Podista was magnificent. In this scene occurs the far-hne d " 0 Nutne benefico," which was gleri , usly rendered by Alboni, Coletti, aed Lablache. The c rest triumph of the night, however, was the trial scene. Never has intense agony been mere truthfully depicted than it was by Alboni in this scene, it was posi tively harrowing to tee the desperate and convulsive agony with which she clung to her father, and the tones -I anguish in which she gave the concluding portion of the quileett, as overcome by her fe clines she sinks ex hausted into the arms of the soldiers, and again rouses herself to i ush to her lather. Her acting in the scene in which she is led forth to execution was most pathetic. tier countenance bore a fixed e xpression of unutterable agony and despair, and she seemed deprived of sit physical power as she was led on by the guards; she dropped on her knees mechanically, and it was not until she had knelt for a moment that she seemed alive to her miserable iieutition. Then the fea tures become animated, and clasping her hands, she sung the exquisite " Deh. to reggi in tal memento," with such au expression of mental suffering and of tender pathos as has never before been infused into this most touching composition. At the conclusion of the opera she was , 'called . for twice. After witnessing her performance of last night, we are no longer surprised at the furore she excited in Paris by her performance of Ninetta, and doubt not but that she will excite the same furore here, and that La . Gazza Ladra will be frequently performed Curing the remainder of the season. Mademoiselle Casolani made her debut as • Pippo, and a most successful debilt it wus.:Her solo in the prison scene was most deservedly encored. She is petiteand pretty, has a beautifulcontralto voice, and manages it well.. She is very much like what Brambilla was twenty years ago, save that her in tonation is infinitely more perfect than was that of Brambills, at her best. Coletti was very great in Fernando, and Lablache magnificent as the Podeata. Calzolari sung with great taste as Gianetto, indeed we have never seen this cha racter more delightfully rendered, or the opera ass a whole more perfectly cast. The performances were (Or the benefit of Madame Carlotta Grisi, who appeared in the Giselle and the Esmeralda for, we are sorry to says the last time this season. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The performance of the Sonnambula on Tuesday was signalised by the first appearance of the English tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, upon the Italian stage, in the character of Elvino. His reception was most enthusiastic, and his execution of the many gems of harmony that occur in his part deserved and obtained the rapturous applause of a crowded audience. Though suffering from an unmis takeable cold, which rendered some of his under gone' inaudible, and gave a degree of uncertainty to his general vocalization, Mr. Reeves succeeded in vindicating his claim to rank among the highest artists of every land. All the elements of consummate excellence Mr. Reeves possesses in a high degree. His physique is good, his acting spirited and artistic, and his musical execution rendered with much taste and refinement. In the celebrated " Tutti e sciolto," be obtained an encore, and might fairly have claimed a like compliment in inure than one previous scene. After the many intrigues and delays, of which mysterious hints have from time to time transpired, we are happy to record the triumph ant success of our countryman in a career where he has had to encounter the rivalry, and efface the recollection, of so many long established favourites with the public. The Amine of Madame Persiani is too well impressed upon all memories, to require more than a reference to its surpassing beauties. The vocal fioriture were as exuberant and tasteful as we ever remember to have heard them. In the second act there were some tokens of reserve in the expenditure of powers on which the forthcoming last scene would lay so formidable a tax ; but in that last scene the vocalist appeared to exhaust the resources of art and nature. The Ah, non giunge!" was throughout unsurpassable in brilliance. .An encore was of course inevitable, followed by recalls when the curtain fell, in which Mr. Reeves obtained his due :hare of appreciation. The star of Meyerbeer was again in the ascendant last night, when the first performance of his second great opera, Les Huguenots, with a new cast of parts, attracted an overflowing audience to the Royal Italian Opera. Madame Viardot Garcia, who is now advancing the reputation of Meyerbeer abroad, has given place to Madame Grisi, who appeared fur the first time as Va lentine. Alboni is superseded in the small contralto part of the Page by Mademoiselle Angri. The cha racter of Marguerite de Valois, personified last year by Madame Castellon, has devolved upon Dorus Gras, the origieal representative. Tamburini has, 14 resigned the tide of Conte de St. Bris to Signor Tagliatico,.4nd the only leading vocalist retained in the list is Mario, who continues to act as the Raoul. The reading of Madame Grisi is the part of Valentine is rather less refined, and perhaps less dignified, than that of Madame Viardot Garcia, but it is far more ear nest and impassioned. In her first great scena--. where, as the affianced bride of Raoul, the favourite of the Princess Marguerite is scornfully rejected by her lover, Madame Grisi maintained what the Germans would call a "quietist" attitude; although she greatly height ened the colouring of the scene by most artistically blending the grief of the disconsolate bride with the sterner emotions of the injured wo man. In the duet with Marcel in the second act, a second appeal was made to the audi ence, with every success. The great achieve mement of the evening was of course the grand concerted suet with Raoul at the close of the third act. The slow chromatic passage, so remarkable in the version of Madame Viardot, was introduced by Madame Grisi at the close of a brilliant coda, and with admirable effect. With this brief and inadequate notice we most reluc tantly dismiss one of the finest performances witnessed of late years on the lyrical stage. Of Mdlle. Angri's Urbano we cannot speak so favourably. After the im personation of Alboni we could not but remark the tailing off which was so painfully obtruded upon our attention. The acting, small as the part is, was awk ward and constrained, and the phrasing of the delicate passages in the cavatina " No, no, no, no," was coarse and unfinished, especially in the rapid run down the key-note at the close. Mademoiselle Angri was encored, notwithstanding, in this air, and had no reason to be dissatisfied with her re ception. Tagliafico, as St. Bris, sang his music most carefully and conscientiously. Massol, as Nevers, created a furore in the scene where he breaks his sword, and was throughout the opera a most important and invaluable adjunct. An apology was made for Signor Marini, on the score of indisposition, but its effects were not very apparent, and in the " piff-paff" he was encored as a matter of course. We must not forget to notice the praiseworthy conduct of Mr. Sims Reeves in con senting to sing the solo of the Calvinist soldier in the " rataplan " chorus. We might quote from the libretto haphazard, were we to specify all the encores of the evening. The " piff-pall,"the " rataplan " chorus, the fine sestett in the ►econd act, "Dei dritti miei ho l'alma access," and the splendid climax of the " sword blessing," were re demanded with an avidity that ap peared insatiable.

Mr. Meadows, as John, the ostler to the establishment, and Miss Marshall, as Betty, encircled the audience a vast deal of amusement, and sustained their characters with great humour, but the admirable acting of Granby, as Marmaduke Mild man, clenched the success of the revival.
