This being the day appointed for the re-examination of this extraordinary lady, a large number of persons were congregated during the whole of the business hours of the court. Two o'clock having arrived, the hour appointed for the further hearing of the charge, Mr. Clarkson and Mr. neald's solicitor entered the court. After the lapse of some time, the accused not sp pcaritg, Mr. Clarkson said he was there to advance the evidence against Mrs. James, the Countess of Lens feldt, Lola Montes, Mrs. Heald, or whatever she might be called. He was in a condition to show that Mr. James was alive in India six dsys before the date of the last examination. As the accused did not app(ar, he applied to have the recognizances entreated, though he should not oppose a further ad journment if it were asked for. _ _ The MAGISTRATE (Mr. Hardwick) inquired if any one appeared on behalt of the accused to make any ap plication for adjournment. A Gentleman rose and said he was Mr. Heald's solicitor; he was not instructed to act for Mrs. Heald, but Mrs. Heald only arrived in town from Naples ou PridAy, and had travelled night and day in order to be here in time. Mr. Clarkson said he was unwilling to press harshly against the accused, who might perhaps dislike to appear, in consequence of the crowd in the vicinity of the Court, but he felt in the absence of any explanation, that the step he proposed should be adopted. If the recognizances were estreated, and the accused appeared on a future day— Wednesday for instance, he should not press the adoption of that course. After much conversation the further hearing of the case was adjourned until Wednesday, at two o'clock. THE ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN OXFORD STREET. — John Veal, alias Beale, a notorious burglar, who re cently escaped from Middlesex Hospital, where he had been confined in consequence of a serious accident which he sustained when attempting to escape from the police, was brought before Mr. Hardwick for final examination, charged with having attempted to commit a burglary as the residence of Mr. Rahles, furrier, 332, Oxford-street. Frances Bishop deposed that she was housemaid in the service of the prosecutor. On the morning of Sun day, the 19th of August, about half-past one o'clock, she Was in bed asleep, when she was awoke by hearing a noise outside her bed-room window. She listened and heard a square of glass break. She then got out of bed, and saw two men standing outside the window, one of whom she recognised to be the prisoner. She imme diately ran upstairs and informed her master, and when they came back the men had disappeared. The police were sent for, and on searching the premises one of the Men was found lying dead in the yard, having fallen from the top of a high wall. The prisoner at the bar Was brought to the house a short time after by a man who had seen the prisoner drop from a house in Little Argyle -street. Mr. Roberts, a tailor, residing at No. 93, Grove-street, Camden -town, said he was passing the house of the pro secutor, about two o'clock on the morning of the 19th of August, when he was informed that some men had at tempted to effect an entrance into the prosecutor's premises, but on being disturbed had made their escape. At the auggestion of Mr. Rahles he ran round into Little Argyle -street, where he saw the prisoner, who had Just dropped from the window of No. 2 in that street, in ; he act of rising from the pavement. He appeared nme, and witness collared him, and took him back to Mr. Rabies', who gave him in charge to the police. Mary Cash, No. 2, Little Argyle-street, proved that °he was awoke about half-past one on the morning of the 19th ult., by hearing some glass break. She got up, and on looking out of the window she saw two or three Persons standing near the door. She subsequently found the screwdriver now produced lying on the win dow-ledge, on which were the marks of a man's band, and from which window the prisoner, no doubt, dropped into the street. Inspeetor,Lester, A division deposed, that on the morn ing of the 19th of August, he was on duty at the Vine street Police-station, and received charge of the pri soner, who complained of his foot being very bad. He examined it, and found it much swollen. He sent for a surgeon who recommended his removal to the hospital, which was done, and a constable was placed to watch him. Witness subsequently examined the window of Mr. Rabies' house, and found the top of a;small conser vatory removed. On the window frame of the back drawing-room were some marks which appeared to be made by the screwdriver produced. He examined the back premises at daylight, from Mr. Rattles' house to No. 2, Little Argyle-street, and found that a person could walk along the leads from the former house to the second-fl ,or staircase window of the latter, by which they could easily gain access. Palmer, 214 11, saw the prioner come out of Mr. Rabies' house in custody of another con stable. The prisoner called out "Is there any of Harry Veal's friends here." He then took a box of Match( s from his pocket, and threw them on the pave ment. Witness picked them up and followed him to the station, and gave them into the hands of the inspec tor on duty. Marks, 320 A, said on Sunday fortnight, about twelve o'clock at night, he was on duty in one of the wards Where the prisoner was confined, when, from the heat of the wards, he was suddenly attacked with illness, which rendered him for a time insensible. When he recovered his senses he discovered that the prisoner had escaped. Inspector Whall, C division, said, from information he had previously received, he went, in company with Sergeant Gray, to No. 4, Corbett's-place, Brick-lane. He effected an entrance by the back premises, and in one of the rooms found the prisoner playing cards with one of his companions. They immediately took him into custody. Mr. HARDWICK said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he had been disturbed when in the act of attempting the burglary. If he had effected an entrance into Mr. Rabies' premises it 'would have been his duty to nerd him before a jury to be tried for the felony. He should therefore commit him to the House of Correction for three months. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT THE WEST-END. ST.

DONCASTER, SATURDAY MORNING. Up to the present time the town presents its ordinary state of quietude, and were it not for the accustomed preparations manifested previously to the annual gather ing, we should have few tokens to tell us that Doncaster races were so near at hand. Railways and vans have made sad work with the bu s tle and excitement at one time exhibited for several weeks previously to our meet ing. Everything which can promote the convenience and provide for the safety of the visitors has been adopted by the authorities. The race-course is in beau tiful condition. The facilities of the railways will in sure a large influx of passengers from all parts; it is re ported that as it seems almost certain the South York. shire Railway will not be ready for opening, the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, in c ing .onjunc tion with the Great Northern, propose bringthe . passengers from Sheffield and the neighbourhood, via Retford. The trains on the Great Northern Railway keep most excellent time, and we believe that their ar rangements for the ensuing week will insure equal punc tuality. The sales of blood stock will, as usual, take place in front of the Salutation Inn; they excite great interest, from the fact that the whole of Colonel Anson's stud is to be brought under Messrs. Tattersall's hammer. Mr. A. Johnstone's yearlings arrived this afternoon, and part of Colonel Anson's will be here to-morrow. The theatre opens on Monday under the management of Mr. Addison, who has secured a very talented company. The betting-rooms are already prepared for the reception of the gentlemen of the ring, having . received several im provements; in fact, no expense is spared by the pro prietors to make them worthy of general patronage; the refreshments at the Grand Stand are again intruited to Mr. Beetham, who offers a most excellent luncheon at a moderate rate. Mr. Johnson, the new clerk of the course, has engaged offices iu High-street, within a few yards of the betting-rooms, so that its proximity to this establishment will be a great convenience. The recent regulation issued by the Post-office authorities will put an end to the exactions of former years in posting late letters; we have but one arrival and one departure during the day, the delivery of the former taking place about nine o'clock in the morning; the letterbox closes at six o'clock in the evening, but letters may be posted up to 6 45, provided they have an additional stamp. The following horses will be here in the course of to-morrow or Monday:—Miss Whip, Impertinerre colt, Canada colt, Herbert, Letitia, Maid of Team Valley, Ellerdale, Little Casino, William the Conqueror, Cockermouth, Old Dan Tucker, Cantab, Lady Speedy, Steppingstone, The Swift, Saucy Dick, St. Winifred colt, Honeycomb, The Recluse, Canezou, Strongbow, Uriel , Va n g uard, T otentia filly, Sister to Sweetmeat, Oddity, The F la pp er, h gu rinth, Bxother to pirote, Nuboykirk, colt by THE Sli N, Ithuriel out of Maria, Iron Duke, Blucher, Volcano, Belus, Flying Dutchnian,Eltbiron, and Knight of Avenel. BeFides the above there are expected Lady Evelyn, Mrs. Taft, Fernhill, Vatican, The Italian, Ellen Middleton, Castanette, end several from J. Gill's, Ford's, A. Tay lor's, &c. DONCASTER RACES.—ARRIVALS.—Honeyoomb, The Flying Dutchman, Elthirun, Knight of Avenel, Ellen Middleton, Castinette, Keleshea, Ellerdale, Letitia, Herbert, St. George, Rhedycina, Maid of Team Valley, Little Casino, Miss Harrison, Manifold, Rybintla. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING. • To prevent mistakes it is necessary to apprise owners of horses that the plate and other entries must be made on Saturday next, and not on the day before the races, as many parties suppose. The sum added to the various prizes amounts to 5001., and the present engagements are quite sufficient to insure a capital day's sport. WESTERN MEETING AT AYR.—(CONCLUDED.) CRICKET. ALL ENGLAND v.

SPORTING NOTES. No. XI. WARWICK REMINISCENCES ; DONCASTER, IsiEWMAREET„and EPSOM ANTICIPATIONS. " THE SPIRIT it answered, crabbed and sour, Pray don't be pathetic, for this is mine hour; Of the past no phantom or popinjay I, But calm and practical, silent and dry." I:lEnrg. " I do love RACING, 'tis a noble sport: 'Tis manly, joyous, and exhilarating; I'll bet a dozen of old lee's-wing port, You'll not name one that's half so animating." The Sportsman. " I've heard of riding wagers, Where horses have been nimbler then the B ands] That run i'the clock's behalf:" SHAW:WERE. " Thus side by aide, Mocking at fear the gallant coursers run, Struggling for victory, which doubtful hangs E'en as they near the goal, where horse and man Alike their energies display. The rein, The whip, the spur, all active, 'midst the din Of shouts from anxious thousands; each in turn Proclaim'd the conqueror, until the one With an impetuous rush just clears the post, A neck before its swift antagonist." Roe House Plot. " ' Ay, ay,' replied an old seaman, ' we may defy not only the devil, but The Flying Dutchman to boot.' " The Phantom Ship. "No fair illusions! artful phantoms, no!" THOMSON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,— " It is the deep and mystic hour, When nature sinks into repose, And Silence, from her hidden bower, O'er the hush'd world her mantle throws. It is the deep, the mystic time, When Cynthia to her throne doth climb." In plain prose, it is the hour of midnight, that finds me weaving out the threads of fate," and committing to paper a portion of the varied memoranda recorded within the "book and volume " of my sporting brain, for the par ticular behoof of the racing community, who I hope may profit by this " dip into the mysteries of the future," which I shall at once proceed with. The Warwick Meeting has passed away without throwing a solitary ray of light on the struggle of Wed nesday; not so with regard to the Cosarewitch, Cam bridgeshire, and Great Yorkshire Handicap, for which stakes several nags have been introduced to public notice and made prominent favourites, Glenalvon, Iron-rail, Midis, Ribaldry, and Thringarth to wit. My anticipations of the Warwick races were all but right in every instance, having selected Docility for the foal, Jack Briggs, for the Castle Park, and Glauca for the Great Warwickshire Stakes ; but for the Leaming ton Stakes, although I named Fernhill, Miss Ann, and Wanota, as the lot from which the winner would spring, yet I gave the pass to a non-starter (Wanota) for these stakes, as well as for the Warwick Cup, understanding, in both instances, that I should have a start if not a win. For the Cup, after giving Essedsrius (who did not run) the foremost position,:l placed " the Grey," and Glenal von second and third. The Doncaster Meeting commences to-morrow with the Fazwilliam Stakes, to close and name this evening. The Champagne Stakes will have William, the Con queror and the Italian first and second; the Cleveland Handicap, Confederacy and The Iron Duke; and the 100 sovs. Stakes will be a canter for Canesou. Wednesday, the Sellinger day, has five races for its portion, only two of which require comment—the Municipal and Great St. Leger Stakes; the former will probably be contested by The Knight of Avenel, Gleam, Lollypop filly, and Canada colt, Mr. Green and Lord Glasgow running first:and second. For the St Leger Stakes the following will run:— Saucy Dick, the Fying Dutchman, Nunnykirk, Old Dan Tucker, Volcano, Herbert, Vatican, Loup-garou, Elthiron, Honeycomb, Uriel, Westow, or Lady Superior; and perhaps, but very doubtful, Glenalvon, Chatterer, Knarsdale, or Thringarth, may at the last moment go to the post. What I said of the Dutchman in my last note, I still adhere to; that his performances have been good, no one cats deny, but that they are first-rate I do deny. What has he ever done to warrant to laying 2tol on him ? With the exception of the Derby, which was a blunder, as time will prove, he has never beaten a first-rate race-horse in his life; on these grounds I still entertain the shadow of a doubt, as to whether he will prove a second Surplice, and carry off the two great stakes of the North and South, or, Cossack like, fail in the attempt. Thringartb, Knais dale, Glenalvon, and Westow, possess not the ghost of a chance, and Lady Superior, Vatican, Elthiron, Loup garou, Honeycomb, and Herbert, but little, of carrying off the St. Leger Stakes. Old Dan Tucker and Nunny kirk will stay the distance, so will Uriel and Volcano. It is far from impossible but what one of this four may win. Last on the list, though by no means the least, stands Saucy Dick, the brother of Springy Jack, who on this occasion may spring from that oblivion in which for a long time he has been lost to public notice ; his breed (by Hetman Platoff out of Oblivion) is of that quality which secures speed, strength, and staying powers; this horse is my forlorn hope—and " Hit or miss, Our project's life this shape of sense assumes." SAUCY DICK (Nat) Or 1 THE FLYING DUTCHMAN NUNNYKIRK ( (Matson) 2 OLD DAN TUCKER (Templemau or Day) 3 URIEL .

Stakes; Colonel Anson cannot complain of the weight at which his Oddity is handicapped for another 10 sovs. Stake; neither can Mr. Fox grumble at the 7st. llb. placed on Paslmsinger's back for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, although opposed by Letitia, 4st. 121 b.; Mrs. Taft, 6st. 81b; and Thringartb, sst. 121 b. Friday's races may be summed up in a few words : Old Dan or Honeycomb wins the 200 sovs., Lady Evelyn the Park Hill, Belus the North of England Pro duce, Uriel or Strongbow the Gascoigne, and the Epirus colt the Two' yrs old Stakes. The Doncaster Cup, I think, will tall to the lot of Lord Stanley with Canesou. The Newmarket First October Meeting next claims my attention. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes will be won by Honeycomb or Vatican, former for choice. The Hopeful Stakes by Cariboo or Penang. Colonel Peel and the Duke of Richmond, as last year, will run first and second for the Two years old Triennial Stakes. Colonel Peel, with Tadmor, will win the Three years old Triennial Stakes. The Dukes of Rutland and Richmond, between them, will appropriate to their own particular purposes the Rutland Stakes. My comments on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire in stable my in note. is t force next year, being pretty Stakes Scott'sx t certain, if all goes right, of winning the Column Stakes with the Epirus colt, Tomboy and Cariboo being his only opponents of any note. The stable will also have in Pits ford and the Epirus colt a couple of ratt l ing for the 2,000 Guineas, for which stake, however, I prefer Hardinge 'and Bee Hunter. The 1,000 Guinea Stakes may possibly,fall to the lot of Sir J. Hawley, with Tingle. For the Derby of 1850, The Italian, William the Con queror, Hardinge, Compass, Sweetheart, Pitsford, and Windhound, have,the largest share of attraction for me ; Hardinge and The Conqueror for choice. For the Derby of 1851, Pantalonade colt, Newminster, Lamartine, Whim colt, Storm, Croupier, and Bonnie Dundee are likely youngsters. Fur the Derby of 1852, the following foals of the present year will in all probability be entered:—A largo lengthy colt by Birdcatcher, out of Beeswing; a strong cult by Lanorcost, out of Alice Hawthorn; a colt by Birth:atelier, out of Blue Bonnet; a superior colt by Faugh.-a-ballagh, out of Sister to Sir Ralph; and a re markably promising colt, called Peppermint, foaled on the Ist April, by Sweetmeat, out of Pantalonade. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Sept. 10, 1849. Last week, when the workmen were employed in repairing the interior of Chelsworth Church, near Bildestone, a fine fresco painting, in excellent preser vation, was discovered just over the chancel arch. The painting represents the Day of Judgment.—Norfolk Chronicle. Some persons are so tenacious of memory,that they forget nothing but the services they have received, and the errors they have committed.--Eliza Cook's Journal. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1849. FRANCE. 13 75 At the conclusion of the speech delivered at Be sanqon by M. DE MONTALEMBERT, the honourable orator spoke as follows : " What would make our disunion inexcusable, and the defeat which would ensue miserable beyond all expres sion, is the character of our enemies ! You know them as I do. I believe them quite capable of imitating the monsters, of whom they every day make the apology. But they are only the parodists of them. They have none of the qualities of their models, their predecessors; none of that sombre grandeur, which it is impossible pot to admit, even in abhorring it, as I abhor it.—(Bravo.) But if we were to allow ourselves to be vanquished by these little plagiarists, our condition would be as lament able as that of our fathers, and even more shameful ; we should be conquered and slaughtered by pigmies. —(Ex plosion of applause.) At bottom, they are nothing; they are only a handful of men, without talent, and often without courage. But do you know on what they cal culate, and not without reason? They calculate on the intrinsic force of evil, on the natural perversity of man. And we, in our discussions and plitical combinations, have too often forgotten to take that force into account. This leads me to say a word of a theory which bas lately been produced, and which is now preached by certain writers who call themselves Conservatives, and by others who call themselves religious. I refer to the theory of unlimited liberty. We are told that all the dangers of society arise from compression, from repres sion, and especially from the restrictive laws which we have made to guarantee the maintenance of liberty by checking its abuses. But I compare the folly of these writers to this: I suppose a man charged to keep a wild beast, a tiger in a cage. And there is assuredly no exaggeration in com paring the bad instincts of man to a tiger. The keeper imprudently thrusts his arm or his foot between the bars of the cage, and the tiger devours it. A political or theological doctor arrives and says: —' Ah I the tiger bas devoured your arm or your foot? That does not astonish me; why did you keep the poor animal shut up in a cage?—(Loud laughter.) Open the cage, let the tiger run loose and do what it will, and you will see that it will do you no harm.' Thereupon the animal is re leased, and it commences by devouring the keeper and the doctor.—(Laughter and applause.) Such is the les son which the common sense and experience of centu ries teach us. And I hope that society of these days, will like its predecessor, not listen to the false counsels of these pretended doctors." From the latest communications received from the French Republic it would appear that the cholera is spreading rapidly, and becoming more and more destructive throughout the departments. Anxiety is in consequence increasing among all classes of the community, and some of the most eminent physicians have been dispatched by Government to the succour of the most afflicted districts. pecially for Imperial Brazili ans, which have advanced. National Brazilians have also been in request, and seve ral transactions have taken place. In United Mexicans, 1 Copiapos, and St. John del Reys, many bargains have been effected. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) THE CAPTALNS 7 GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We have authority for announcing that the Captains' Good Service PerAsion of 1501. per annum, which has been relinquished by Rear-Admiral Watts on his promotion, has been conferred on Captain John Car ter (1815), who was Midshipman of the Penelope at the blockade of Malta and the capture of G u ill aume Tell, and who served as; Lieutenant of the Leviathan at the battle of Trafalgar. The Colonelcy of the 19th Foot, vacant by the demise of Sir Warren Peacocks, has been conferred on Major-General Charles Turner, commanding at Cork. The high character and accomplishments of the Major General, more than his foreign service, have earned for him this distinction. We believe Major-General Turner saw little war service after the campaign in Egypt and the capture of Martinique. He entered the army in 1795, obtained his company in three years and a half, and was a Major in April, 1807. His subsequent promotions took place through the Brevets of June, 1814, July, 1830, and Nov., 1841. Major-General Robert B. Gabriel, C. 8., K.H., has succeeded to the Unattached pay of twenty fire shil lings per diem, from 7th August. This officer entered the service in 1797 ; was engaged in the Walcheren Expedition, subsequently proceeded to the Peninsula, and was employed on the Staff until the end of the war in 1814. Brevet-Colonel Daniel Falla, half-pay tached, has succeeded to the pension of 100/., in addition to his half-pay, vice Brevet-Colonel Sampson Stawell, deceased. Colonel Fella is an officer of fifty-one years standing. He has seen much service, and was latterly employed for many years on the Staff as Town-Major of Gibraltar. The Colonels Commandant of the Royal Marines have received directions to substitute a cocked hat for their present chaco. This is merely giving force and effect to her Majesty's regulations, which require that all full Colonels in employment on the Staff should wear the cocked hat. General Sir Charles Napier quits India in the spring of next year. He has sent home instructions for the purchase of an estate on the banks of the Thames, where he intends to take up his permanent residence. It is believed that he will become the possessor of the property now belonging to Colonel C. I. K. Tynte, M.P. We regret to hear that Major-General Sir William Napier is suffering severely from an injury to the right hand. It is highly probable that Sir William Gomm will continue in India with the expectation of succeeding Sir Charles Napier on his retirement from the Indian command in the spring,. SICKNESS IN THE TOWEE.—The battalion of the Guards which marched into the Tower from Chichester on the Ist instant, was in a perfect state of health on its arrival, but soon afterwards experienced the dele terious effects of the water used in the Tower. One man died on Tuesday, in a few hours, of the cholera, and seventeen were on the same day taken into hos pital with diseased bowels. The pernicious water, it seems, does not proceed from any water company, but is supplied from the Thames by means of forced pipes, which carry many impurities into the tanks. In consequence of the cholera having appeared in the detachment of the 11th Hussars, stationed at Kensington, the troops were removed on Wednes day, by sudden order, and joined the Head-quarters at Hounslow. The Household Brigade of Cavalry is performing the dispatch duty until further orders. Mr. Reid, formerly of the Life Guards, and keeper of the Cavalry Canteen at the Horse Guards, was taken suddenly ill yesterday morning (Friday), at four o'clock, of cholera, and died the same day at one o'clock. MEMORANDA OF A MUSICIAN. BY GEORGE J. 0. ALLMANN. " Notes, notes, forsooth, and noting 1" SUAKSPERIL No. XVII. HANDEL. While conducting in Dublin the performance of his own oratorio the Messiah, Dubourg, the leader (the celebrated violinist), had a short solo in the introdu2ione of a song alloted to him, together with a close to make a piacere. Wandering up and down the instrument, he seemed for a moment bewildered and uncertain of the original key, but at last coming to the shake, which was to terminate this long close, Handel, to the greatest de light and relish of his Irish audience, and to the aug mentation of applause, exclaimed, loud enough to be heard in the most remote parts of the theatre, " You're velcome home, Maishter Dupourc—velcome home." productions of a M. Morel, the music to them being composed by Gre try. Their success was solely attri butable to the excellent music. CIIERUBINI. It was the opera of Lodoiska which, according to M. Felts, laid the primal foundation of this composer's fame. A grand opera in three acts, Loduiska, was performed for the first time at the Theatre Feydeau on the 18th July, 1791. It was Cherubini's first production in the French school of music, and exhibited the most perfect contrast to his other works in the Italian style. The air of Varbel " Yoyez la belle besogne" recalls the form of the buffo style of the period when it was written; all the rest is of an animated cast, of which Cherubini's genius had previously afforded no indication. There existed a strong rivalry at this period between the Opera Comique in the Rue Favart and that of the Rue Feydeau—in the animosity of conflicting struggle of interests the managers formed the strange idea of mutually injuring each other by producing works on the same subject. Kreutzer brought out Paul et Virginie at the Theatre Favart. The Feydeau must produce it also with the music of M. Lesueur. Cherubini then brought out the Lodoiska, and in less than a month afterwards the same opera was produced in the Rue Favart, with music composed to it by Kreutzer. At the Feydeau La Caverne obtained a brilliant reception ; the managers of the old opera in stantly engaged Mehul to compose another Caverne for them, but this proved a wretched failure. Even from this contest, which was a reproach to the managers of the operas, were deduced interesting comparisons and obser vatioes as to the respective merits of artists. These comparisons, so to speak, commenced with the two Lodoiskas. Cherubini was always unfortunate in the se lection of his libretto, and in this instance it happened similarly, for, notwithstanding its popularity all over the continent, a more uninteresting and ill-conceived plot can scarcely be imagined. However meritorious the music of an opera may be, it will never guarantee entire success when the dramatic composition is feeble. Lodoiska, ushered in with the name of Cherubini, did not fail to be sure, but at first it met with but a very limited suc cess; and for the first season was coldly received and yielded but little profits to the treasury. Strange to re late, the triumph of Kreutzer's Lodoiska at the Favart was brilliant —one or two romances, the melodies of which were remarkahly simple and catching, becoming at once exceeding popular, more especially La douce clarte de l'Aurore. Above all, the overture, though not so brilliant as that of Cherubini, and the Marche des Tartares became the rage. The libretto of this opera was, however, far superior to that of Cherubini,, and to that may doubtless be attributed its more entire success. It is a subject fit for much curious speculation, that though both musicians and cognoscenti preferred Knout zees opera to that of Cherubini, they would have de voutly crossed themselves in horror if a comparison were instituted between the merits of these two com posers—as musicians.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN.- A female named Isabella Stevenson was taken before the magistrates of Fenton, Staffordshire, on Friday, on a charge of attempting to murder her three children, of the respective ages of seventeen months, three years, and five years. The prisoner seemed exceedingly dejected. From the evidence adduced, it appears that the prisoner, who is the wife of a crotemaker living in the town, on the previous day took the three children out for a walk, and after leading them about for some time, she made for a place termed Smith's Pool (a large pond), a short distance from her own house. She then threw the youngest child head foremost into the pool, and after wards laid hold of another one for the purpose of throw ing it in, when its screams attracted the attention of Mr. Superintendent Perry, of the inland navigation, who hastened to the spot, and, at the risk of his own life, jumped into the pool, and succeeded in recovering and d r owning child, who was in a very exhaust ed state, n preventing the destruction of the other two children. The woman was taken into custody, and the child taken out of the water was attended by a medical gentleman, who succeeded in restoring suspended animation. The mother, when placed before Mr. Rose, the magistrate, exhibited umistakeablo evidence of her mind being in a disordered state. She was sent to a lunatic asylum. THE SWELL MOB AND THE DETECTIVES AT BOULOGNE.—A gentleman applied to the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-House on Saturday, for his advice relative to the notorious Joseph Wood, the cab and omnibus proprietor, now iu custody at Boulogne, for stealing a gold watch from a lady on board the steam-boat which had just reached Boulogne harbour from Folkestone, and on board of which was Field, of the Detective Force, who went thither in search of the Tannings. Since this, his (Wood's) mother had proceeded to Boulogne, taking with her considerable property, the supposed proceeds of various depredations, and it would seem was in a fair way of procuring the liberation of her son, having ne gotiated with, and agreed to pay to the husband of the lady from whom the watch was stolen no less a sum than 4001. not to appear against him. As the appli cant had himself suffered by Wood, and was fearful he might be again let loose to plunder the public, he begged his Lordship would interfere. The Lord Mayor could not interfere, but suggested an application to the French consul, who might probably be able to effect the desired object. DREADTITL CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—A o'clock on Friday afternoon a most horrible case hott es t a f a ou o r f manslaughter occurred in Barlow-street 1 " .

It seems in liquor, Richardson had visited Lee whilst and tha‘ a t w i' -ork, and behaved himself in a very troublesome wa y, when Lee became exasperated Lind turned him out of the smithy. lie repeated his visits, however, again, and was still worse intoxicated. Lee was then about to weld the iron r d of a pump-sueker, which he had got red hot, when losing Lll control over himself, and aggra vated by the man, he rushed at him with one of the heated irons in each hand, and stabbed him twice in the groin.

NORWOOD, SURREY, although only six miles from town, continues, through the merciful Providence of the Divine Ruler over all, to be entirely exempt from the present Dreadful Scourge and the influx of persons from London now taking houses and apartments in that beautiful and healthy locality, exceeds anything ever before known by the oldest inhabitant. Order is Nature's beauty.—Eliza Cook's Journal. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals of the 2d state that the Aus trian Government has given orders to General Haynau to put an end to the execution of the Hungarian officers who had fallen into his hands. Some of the journals represent that the number put to death by the General was very considerable, and the German Reform says that if the orders in question had arrived a day later all the officers in his power would have lost their lives. The journals state that one of the plans of the Government with respect to the future treatment of Hungary is to establish large colonies of Germans in the Steppes, so as to neutral is e the influence of the Magyars. Fortifications continued to be erected at Presburg and in the mountains, and the Russian troops were still retiring towards the frontiers. - The National has the following article on the sub ject of Hungary : " The noble Hungarian leaders whom Austria could not conquer, she murders. The German journals are full of accounts of these savage executions, coldly or dered the morning after the capitulation of Vilagos. In this war of Hungary, where all the power of the house of Hapsburg was checked by a people small in number, but immense by its courage and resolution, Austria has given the measure of her strength and of her generosity. She was forced to appeal to Russia, and it was only by the aid of Russian soldiers that she could crush that brave Hungarian nation for ever detached from the Em• pire; and as if the Government of Vienna wished to punish the Magyars for the support which they forced it to demand, it slaughters them according as the Russians deliver them up. Not ver y dexterous in handling the i soldier's sabre, Austria s quite at home with the execu tioner's axe in her band. At ]Slilan, she shoots the pa triots and pillages the citizens ; in Hungary she cuts throats and hangs, sometimes even having recourse to poison. But we have confidence in the justice of Pro vidence ; let the blood of the martyrs fall on the head of the murderers So many . infamies and crimes will not remain eternally unpunished. Ohl in that case, woe to those Kings whom the popular generosity spared some time back! Between democracy and absolutism, an abyss has been made which is henceforward im passible. The sovereigns now show themselves without pity ; like to them, vengeance will also be pitiless, but it will be more just than they are." ITALY. The freedom of the city of Rome, presented to General Oudinot prior to his departure from the Eternal City, is hereditary among his male descen dants. _ _ Letters from Naples of the 29th state that the Pope intended to proceed to Portici on the 4th, where it was expected he would remain two or three weeks. Dui ing his residence there he purposes visiting a number of churches in the neighbourhood, after which his intention was to proceed to Benevento, and take up his residence in some town of the Papal dominions before finally returning to Rome. The same letters mention that Naples was perfectly tranquil, so much so that no one would suppose that it had passed through a revolution. The Tuscan Government has negotiated with the house of Rothschild for a loan of 20,000,000 livres. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) A fair amount of business has been transacted this week iu the mining share market; and from the general improvements in the mines and advance in the standard, we may reasonably expect a proportionate increase. The inquiries for shares in our leading and dividend paying mines have been active; but sellers are generally seeking higher prices, and actual business is thereby delayed, by the necessary negotiations which are going on. East Wheal Rose, West Caradon, and South Wheal Frances, have paid their bimonthly dividends since our last notices, and have created buyers in consequence. Devon Great Consols, South Basset, North Pool, West Seton, South Tolgus, and Treviskey and Barrier, are being sought for at or about former quotations. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week:-East Wheal Rose, Devon Great Consols, South Tamar, North Pool, West Caradon, Mary Ann, Trelawny, Bedford United, Tamar Consols, South Molten, Kingsett and Bedford, Trehane, South Josiah, Cwm Erfin, Camborne Consols, Mendip Hills, East Buller, Wellington Mines, South Tolgus, Wheal Comfort, Treleigh. West Caradon account for May and June was held on the 30th of August. when a dividend of 21. 10s. per share was declared. The financial statement shows a profit of 2921. 13s. on the two months' working, which, with balance from last account, gave a balance in hand of 2,0611. 1 ls. 10d.; after payment of dividend, a credit of 1,4211. Ils. 10d. is carried to next account. The mine is stated to be in a progressing and highly satisfactory position. At the East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend of 3,840/. was declared, being 301. per share on the two months' working, carrying balance of 2,7161. 19s. 4d. to credit of next account. The sale of silver lead ores for May and June realised 10,600/. 19s. ld., and the mine is represented to have much improved in her bottom levels, especially in the 120, south of the engine-shaft. south Wheal Frances account for June and July was held on the 3d instant. The profit for the two months amounted to 1,2501. 9s. 4d., which, with balance from last account, gives a credit of 1,8971. 45. ld. A dividend of 101. per share was declared, leaving balance in purser's hand of 657 L 4s. Id. Coombe Valley Slate Company audited their accounts on the 27th of August, showing their assets in slate, calls unpaid, and cash at banker's, at 4781. 181. 11d. For the more efficiently carrying on the works, an issue of 500 new shares was resolved on, at 31. 10s. per share. At Craddock Moor meeting, for May and June, a call of 10s. per share was made, fur further operations and discharging the balance against the company (241, ls. 7d.) -the principal operations being confined to the sinking a new shaft from the surface, which is now down seven or e ight fathoms b e t ween D uns tan and Vivian's lodes. Several veins, or branches, impregnated with ore, have been intersected, underlaying towards Vivian's lode. At the Gonomena meeting, a balance of 761. 13s. 2d. was found in favour of the adventurers. The mine is represented to be in an improving position. In the 60, or Gilpin's, the lode is producing 2i tons of ore per fathom, and about 15 tons of ore have been broken from the north lode. Other operations are being carried on, with a view of bringing some important points into effi cient working order. At Wheal Mary Consols meeting, it was resolved to discontinue further operations, and a committee was formed, for the purpose of disposing of the mines and material-a loss of 9371. 11s. sd. having been sustained since the account meeting in March last. At the Calstock meeting the accounts showed the entire costs from the commencement to have been 2,2631. 14s. Bd., leaving a balance against the mine of 7681. 13s. Bd. A new sett had been obtained from the and exp ec t a tions of good Duchy' on favourable terms, results were entertained. At the Par Consols meeting, the profit on four months' working to end of Juno was shown to have been 6,2601. 3a., which, added to balance at last account, made in hand 10,703/. 13s. 5d., from which a dividend of 50k per share was declared, amounting to 6,400/., leaving a balance in favour of adventurers of 4,3031, 134. sd. At the Holn3bush special meeting, it was resolved to adopt the recommendation in Captain Lean's report, which will be found in another column. These recom mendations are to further explore the Flan jack lode in the 100, and to cut it in the 110 and 120 fm. levels, which is estimated to cost 5001. per month ; but great expectations are entertained that a good proportion of this will be covered by the ores raised, and the greatest loss which can happen is known at the outset. In the foreign share market there has been consider able transactions during the week. The advices from most of the Brazilian pines, received on the sth, are of the highest importance, and have created a demand, es- JACKSON OF EXETER. As well knOven - for bis satire and ready wit as for his literary and musical genius, Jackson was once called upon at a public dinner fur a toast. "I have great pleasure," be replied with a half solemn smile, "in com plying with your demand, Mr. Chairman, and beg to give you the two first words of the third Psalm." The chairman—astonishment displaying itself visibly on his face—astounded at the apparent irreverence of the idea, stopped Jackson short by exclaiming, "Oh fie, Mr. Jackson, do you give us the beginning of a psalm for a toast?" "Yes, sir," responded the latter. " unless you will suggest a better—l give you, Lord Ilow(e)r" A LLE G RI. Gregorio Allegri, a native of Rome, and from the year 1630 attached to the Papal Chapel, both as com poser and vocalist, was a pupil of Nanino. Indepen dently of the fame he acquired for his ecclesiastical works, he was no less celebrated for his benevolence. Compa , sionate and charitable to the poor, he even ex tended his " righteous works" farther, for he paid daily visits to the prisons of Rome, where he alleviated to the utmost of his power the distresses of all whom he beheld suffering and in want. With a heart brimful of pity for the misfortunes of others, he is said to have on more than one occasion stripped himself of his coat in order to bestow it on some object of compassion. He was an ex cellent thereist ; indeed all of his works, which were chiefly for the church, are indicative of his contrapuntal skill. His most celebrated work is his Miser ere, in five parts, in G Minor. So admired was it that it was always performed on the most solemn occasions, and for a long time the original manuscript was preserved in the archives of the Pontitleal Chapel with the utmost care. Of this noble work the Padre Martini tells us, there ne ver were more than three copies made by authority, one of which was for the Emperor Leopold, the second for the King of Portugal, and the third for himself. MOhART. As an instance of the wonderfully retentive memory with which Mozart was gifted, it is related of kim that when at Rome, in his early career, he went to the Sistine Chapel to hear the celebrated Miscrere by Allegri, of which I have just written, and of which any one, under pain of eternal excommunication, was forbidden to take a copy. Apprised of this, Mozart's ingenuity suggested an expedient whereby to obtain the much-desired object. He placed himself in a retired corner of the chapel, where he was tree from interruption and could wholly give him self up to its accomplishment. He paid the closest atten tion to every bar, and when the performance was over hurried home, his brain charged with what he had heard, and, front memory, committed to paper the whole of this elaborate work. At a concert some few days afterwards Mozart sat down at the harpsichord, and accompanying himself, sang a fragment of this Miserere. This display of his profound knowledge of music and miraculous faculty of retention evinced by . this extraordinary cir cumstance attracted the attention of all Rome to the young musician. His Holiness whe n he heard of it gave directions for Mozart to be presented to him, when, instead of reprimanding and punishing his evasion and violation of tke sacred p rohibition, he liberallyreceived him in the most gracious manner, creating him a Che valier of the Order of the Golden Spur. STEPHEN JEFFERIES. In my last I related an amusing instance of this singular person's humour—the following is even a more ridiculous proof of his extraordinary character. A singer possessing a good voice, and who officiated at a distant church, had been requested and had consented to sing the solo in an anthem in Gloucester Cathedral. The eventful day " big with the fate" of the new vocalist arrived, and that individual took his station at the side of Jefferies in the organ loft. The performance began, and the latter, hearing him make some slight hesitation and subsequently a mistake in it, instead of passing it over silently, or endeavouring to set him right, imme diately rose from his seat and leaning over the gallery, exclaimed in a loud voice, addressing the choir and con gregation—" Ile can't sing it, he can't sing it." ROSSINI. The reputation of the renowned gran maestro not only as a wit but as a gastronome is almost as proverbial as his enchanting strains are famous. In the salons of Paris various tales are told exemplifying these charac teristics. Among them I select, at random, one:— Rossini, who is as much at ease with a peer as with a peasant, made a wager one evening with a diminutive Italian Principe, the stake being a turkey with truffles. The former won the wager, and as there is, sooth to speak, scarcely anything in this world Rossini is less liable to forget than this epicurean dainty, he looked for ward with the most lively impatience for the day being fixed by the Prince when he should enjoy the fruits of his wager. The bel memento not arriving, however, the maestro happened to meet his noble friend. Tapping him on the shoulder, he reminded him of it. Taken by surprise, or perhaps not being overeager to pay, the Prince began to stammer forth some excuse, saying that knowing Rossini's exquisite taste, he had caused exten sive inquiries to be made, and as the result was informed that the truffles had not yet reached their desirable ma turity or acquired their delicious go ut. Rossini laughingly e rejoined, "Ma, mio care! it is the turkeys whoihcaevde the this silly rumour afloat." The witty reply pr . o( u .of desired effect, for the compos er had the satisfactionbh enjoying his favourite dish on the following day, ot himself and host pronou ncin g the truffles exquisite.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED.) THE MIRROR. The Mirror this month opens with a terrific on slaught on the " House of Malignants," by which this saucy writer means the noble and learned and gallant Lords and the exceedingly plops and charitable Bishops, who congregate at Westminster to keep Jews out of Parliament and to defend their own privileges. Our writer is no great admirer of privilege. According to him— " Privilege means injustice. It degrades one class in order to load with honours another which can already scarcely stand beneath its titles and its dignities; it robs the poor to enrich the wealthy ; it takes the food from the hungry to fatten the pampered; it even deprives the industrious of their labour that the idle may live in ram pant luxury and pride; it denies clothing to the naked that the obese forms of the Peer and his minions may be swaddled in purple and fine linen, while it drags down the miserab►e wretch deeper and still deeper in the mire of misery, and poverty, and degradation, that the ptiff,d up Peer, the stalking Bishop, the fruitless branches of Royalty, with all the cloud ot satellites that hangs about them, may be carried to a still higher eminence ot dignity and wealth. Yet we, the first nation in the world—the wisest, the most honourable, the most civilized, the most charitable, and the most generous, still continue to foster with tenderness and respect this spawn of iniquity, to lick the feet that spurn us, to quaff with pride and plea• sure the poison that is destroying us." Mr. Percy St. John continues his " Adventures of • French Republican," and in the present instalment gives us a most stirring description of the erection of the barricades of St. Mery in 1832. At that time the Carlists aided the Republicans in their outbreak, not from love of liberty, but from hatred of Louis Philippe, and many a smart carriage from the Faubourg Germain might have been seen forming the foundation of a barricade in the Rue St. Martin. King James I. is the subject of the royal biographical sketch, and the excellent " History 'of Music" is continued. THE BRITISH POLITICAL, COMMER CIAL, ECCLESIASTICAL, and HISTORI CAL GAZETTEER, Travelling Road-Book, and County Atlas. We are much gratified to observe the steady pro gression of this highly valuable and useful publica tion. We have just received Part V., being the second of the large 2s. 6d. numbers. It contains beautifully executed maps of Shropshire, Nottinghamshire, and Cambridgeshire, besides being embellished with an exquisite engraving of " Ivy Bridge, " a most picturesque viad uc t on th e S ou th D evon Railway. The present part contains interesting historical re cords of Boscobel, Salop, where Charles the Second retreated after his defeat by Cromwell at the battle of Worcester, and where the Royal Oak was long exhibited to the curious visitor which gave effectual concealment to Royalty during the pursuit of the Republicans; also of Bosworth, near which was fought the memorable battle, which put an end to the contest of the Roses, between Henry of Richmond and Richard III.; altogether the present is fully entitled to the merited commenda tions bestowed upon the preceding parts. THE "FLY SHEETS" VINDICATED. A volume of nearly 200 pages has just been issued by Mr. Gilbert—being a vindication of the " Fly Sheets" from the attacks of a contemporary. Those interested in the progress of Wesleyan Methodism will find in the book a mass of valuable and interesting information. THE ILLUSTRATED ATLAS. Parts X. and XI. of this elegant serial, just published, contain maps of Ireland, Egypt, Greece, and Switzerland, embellished with a number of graceful and characteristic designs—landscapes, cos tumes, historical groups, and celebrated buildings. NARROW ESCAPE FR OM DROWN ING AND PROMPT RESCUE. On Thursday evening last as a small sailing-boat, containing a gentleman, two ladies, and a waterman, was returning to Ramsgate from a pleasure cruise, the wind blowing rather strong at the time, in going about just outside Ramsgate west pier she missed stays, was taken aback, and went down stern foremost. Some persons on the pier who .witnessed the accident immediately gave the alarm, which having been heard on board the private steam-yacht Ondine, lying inside the west pier, three of her crew jumped into the jolly boat and pulled away to the spot. In the meantime the parties upset, having got clear of the boat, were seen in a most perilous position struggling in the water to keep themselves afloat, the gentleman and one of the ladies being locked together. Two or three ropes were thrown over the pier wall, and one man descended and held up the waterman, but the others were surging too far out to be within reach. They were, however, exhorted and en couraged by the cries of the spectators to keep up, as relief was at hand, which in the course of a few seconds arrived. The Ondine's boat pulled round the pier head, dashed alongsid', and seized the gentleman and lady, who having separated from their death-like embrace, appeared quite exhausted, and then delivering them to the care of the harbour boat, which had quickly followed, they proceeded to the rescue of the other female, who had sunk once or twice, and saved her with the aid of the boat-hook. The waterman and the two first mentioned were then rowed by the harbour-boat to the east pier, whence the gentleman and lady were conveyed to their lodgings, Waterloo Plains ; but the other lady, who was the wife of a gentleman referred to, was taken directly on board the yacht. She was dead cold, and almost insensible ; but being divested of her wet bonnet and outside saturated ap parel, she was, by the aid of copious draughts of hot brandy and water, and by rubbing of the hands and wrists, speedily restored. She was then wrapped round in a thick warm blanket cloak, and rowed ashore to the landing-place nearest the coach-stand, whence in a fly she was restored to her anxious but equally unfortunate friends, all having had a most provi dential escape. Had the boats been a few seconds later, in all probability they would have perished, for their heavy clothes as the water penetrated were fast drowning them. The men who were so prompt with the Ondine's boat, we learn, were William Seckett, John Elliott, and Thomas S picer. The two former of these have medals and testimonials from the French Minister of Marine, for their gallantry in saving life, under very perilous circumstances, at Boulogne, dur ing the heavy gales of last winter, the first-named having distinguished himself on two occasions. NARRow ESCAPE WHILST FoRDING THE RIBBLE.— A lady and her family had a very providential escape from drowning, whilst crossing the river on Thursday week. The circumstances are as follow :—The lat!y of the Rev. J. S. Hodgson, rector of Brinkluw, in War wickshire, together with her family, were returning from the residence of her nephew, at Rufford, about ten o'clock in the evening, and were crossing the Ribble at the ford at Hesketh Bank, in a phaeton, having a guide accompanying them, when, either in consequence of having mistaken their course, or from the river being deeper than usual, they were overpowered by the force of the water, and one horse was carried overhead, whilst the other narrowly escaped, the water at the same tune washing over the top of the phaeton, which, together with the horses, sank and remained firmly fixed in the soft sand, placing the party in a most perilous and awful position, and, to add to the horrors of the situation, the night was very dark. The guide pushed on for as sistance, and speedily returned with a shandray, into which Mrs. Ilodgon and her family were removed. The horse in this vehicle also stuck in the sand, and it' was not without great exertion that the party were saved from an awful death. Mrs. Hodgson is now staying at Southshore, and on Sunday last she and her family returned thanks for their miraculous escape.—Preston Pilot. Mr. Robert Partridge, the treasurer of Cremorne gardens, has announced his benefit for to-morrow (Tuesday). The " bill of fare" provided for the occa sion is of a most varied and attractive character, and, in dependent of the ,extensive resources of the establish ment, auxiliary talent of the first order from the several metropolitan theatres will lend their aid, so as to pro duce for the beneficiare that which he so justly merits — a " bumper."

GUTTA Psacne.—The numerous ways in which this novel and peculiar article of merchandise is now found to be capable of being appropriated causes the im portation of it to continue to take place in large quanti ties.
