Tbat France has deceived everybody is evident even from this correspondence, for Lord PALMERSTON, in one portion of it, speaks of " the minority who now exer cise authority at Rome." We imagine that events have proved that the minority is the other way, and that the Government of Rome, that emanation of universal suffrage, represents not only de jure, but de facto, the will of the majority. It is evident that in thus speaking of the Government of Rome Lord PALMERSTON was speaking from in formation derived from the French Government, and we cannot sufficiently admire that those who in France have, on the ground of being the emanation of universal suffrage, not scrupled, if not to abuse, at least to use their powers to the very utmost, should thus deny the power of those who in Rome are likewise the emanation of universal suffrage. The position of the POPE, as described by Cardinal AOTONELLI in his letter to the various Powers, stands in ludicrous contrast with his claims. He, the clai,ner of omnipotence and infallibility, has been co erced into the commission of grievous error, and he ap peals to those over whom he claims supremacy to aid him in chastising his re bellious children, on vc hom the thunders of the greater excommunication have it seems lost their effect.

Jeanett, Aklelahle 21* Woc 'HI EA ever. Since our observations on the court-martial upon Captain DOUGLAS appeared in the leading columns of The Sun, on the 11th ultimo, the finding of the Court, together with the approval and confirmation by the QUEEN, have been officially published. It will have been doubtless observed by the majority of our readers, that the decision of the authorities at the horse Guards has been as severe and damaging ns it could by any possibility have been rendered. The unfortunate officer has been harshly and peremp torily cashiei ed—the verdict of Guilty being pro nounced upon each of the four charges successively, with the supplementary and ignominious expression that his conduct throughout was " unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman.'' As to the prisoner having obtained her MAJESTY'S permission to receive the value of his commission, that can scarcely have assuaged one pang cf the bitter anguish arising from that shaft of obloquy which must, more or less, ever after this rankle in his bosom. For the gist of the several charges preferred against Mr. DOUGLAS (late Captain of the 16th Regi ment) is nothing less than the accusation of having uttered a wilful falsehood. Upon this accusation he has been condemned. After an examination extend ing over eleven days he has been declared A Liar, ! and the finding of the Court has received the appro bation of the SOVEREIGN. A superficial view of the case would certainly appear to indicate that nothing further remains to be said upon the court-martial ; that the sentence being announced, nothing need be, nothing can be, nothing ought to be remarked in reference to the transaction. It is said —The decision is conclusive ; for, remember ! that decision is the calm and deliberate opinion of fourteen officers guided by the presence of the Deputy-Judge Advocate ; and remember also ! that those fourteen officers deliberated as to the nature of their verdict not only during the eleven days occu pied by the court martial, but for a consider able time afterwards, and that their ultimate "finding" has been weighed by the supreme mili tary authorities at the Horse Guards, headed by Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. Now it is precisely because these things are said, it is precisely because this notion of the necessary correct t nese of the decision is prevalent among the unthinking, that we, who have perused this singular trial with the most dispassionate caution, and who recognise in the evidence adduced not one solitary reason sufficient to lead to the condemnation of the accused—it is pre cisely from these considerations that we find ourselves impelled to revert to a sentence such as must, to our thinking (unless reconsidered), tend directly to propa gate the seeds of demoralization in the army. As far as the decision itself goes, we acknowledge at once that it is certainly " conclusive ;" but we altogether repu diate the notion that it is irrevocable. So long as there is such an office in the administration of the affairs of the Empire as that of the Judge-Advocate General, so long as the Judge-Advocate General receives a salary of 3,000/. annually, so long must any verdict of any court-martial be liable to revision, and even in extreme cases to an actual revocation. To maintain that the dignity of the service requires an unmurmuring submission to the adjudication of the Court, is an outrage to the conscience of humanity. Good GOD ! is the dignity of the service of importance superior to the first principles of justice ? Are we, forsooth, to bend unconditionally to the decree of fourteen gentlemen simply because they are gen tlemen ? Are we to regard them as the Catholics regard the spiritual office of the POPE, namely, as infallible ?

We rejoice to find, from the copies of the corre spondence between Viscount PALMERSTON, the Mar quis of NORMANBT, and the Prince of CASTELCICALA, relative to the affairs of Rome, which have been laid before Parliament, that the British Government is en tirely guiltless in the matter of the French attack upon Rome, and that throughout these events Lord PALMERSTON has acted strictly on the principle which he laid down in his note to the Marquis of NOR MANDY, of 28th January, 1849, wherein he states-- "With respect to the attitude which Great Britain would is any ca3c assume in regard to these affairs, your Excellency will say that the attitude of this country would be that of observation, and that Great Britain oould take no part in such matters beyoud expressing, if it should appear to be necessary, th e o pi n i on which her Majesty's Government might entertain thereupon." But while the publication of this correspondence completely exonerates Lord PALMERSTON, it renders more than ever inexplicable that of the Government of the French Republic. In the note of the 28th January, from which we have quoted the above, we find the following passage : " With regard to the proposal made by Austria to Franco for a combined military action by Austria, France, and Naples, for the purpose of re-establishing the Pope in the Roman States, your Excellency will say that her Majesty's Government concur with the Go vernment of France in viewing with much regret this announcement of the wishes and intentions of the Aus trian Government." great actions and the illustrious career of the Veteran Duke, to look upon his opinions as oracular ? Or are we to regard the members of courts-martial, and the authorities at the Horse Guards, as (like the rest of the human family) creatures liable to error ofjudgment The answer is obvious. It is the answer of common sense ; the naked response of reason. And, feeling this, we now avail ourselves of our enviable preroga tive as journalists to speak to the people on behalf of those whom we regard in our conscience as injured. Such we assuredly conceive Captain DOUGLAS (or Mr. DOUGLAS, as we must now call him,) to be—a man injured beyond the reach of compensation, beyond the reach almost of alleviation. Such we believe him to be, simply through a careful perusal of the details of his trial on court-martial— for personally we are not only entire strangers _ _ The Government of France, therefore, had at that Ito Mr. GEORGE DOUGLAS, but we have never period expressed its regret at a proposal for re..esta- once bad any communication with him or blishing the Popx in the Roman States by a corn- his.

Again, we would point out to general scrutiny that a passage from Simmonds on Courts-martial was not allowed to be read in argument (see page 45), although that passage must have very materially affected the verdict of the court, seeing that it is there declared by that distinguished military jurisconsult (page 97, 3d Edit.) that " Although an officer accused cannot refuse to obey an order directing him to appear before a court of inquiry, charged to inquire intu his conduct, yet ha may object to take any part in the proceedings, and has a right to decline answering any questions, or making any statement, which may, in his opinion, be prejudicial to him in the course of any ulterior in quiry into the affair." A sentence strikingly appli cable to the case of Mr. DOUGLAS, and one which corroborates, very remarkably, the opinion expressed upon his proceedings anterior to the trial by an emi nent authority, to the effect that the extreme of his culpability was merely a blunder as to rights and duties, without any intentional dishonour. Among other observations which our previous remarks upon this singular court-martial have elicited, in a letter addressed to ourselves by "An Old Officer " (and published in a previous impression of The Sun), it is protested that the ficding of the court is positively and grossly illegal. "The fin ding," says our Correspondent, "islcashiered, whereas it should have been dismissed the service. To be cashiered is a much more severe sentence than to be dismissed the service, and, by the Articles of War, Captain DOUGLAS could only have been cashiered had he been found guilty of 'scandalous and infamous conduct, unbecoming the conduct of an officer and a gentleman.' He was not even charged with scan dalous and infamous conduct." Notwithstanding all these monstrous and visible abnegations of the coae of justice, notwithstanding a defence which, in its way, was a masterpiece of logical candour and forensic ingenuity, being conducted throughout by the astute intellect of Mr. WARREN, a defence which justifies his endeavour to emulate in law his celebrity in lite rature—notwithstanding ail these efforts in his favour, the accused Las been pronounced Guilty, bas been uishonoured in name, and has been peremptorily and ignominiously cashiered. To this case, to this trial, to this verdict, I,s e here publicly demand the attention of Sir DAVID DUNDAS. * " Proceedings of a General Court-Martial, held at Guernsey, on Captain George Douglis, 16th Regiment." Bvo. pp. 80. Blackwood, London, 1849. utiE FREiv, CH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Constitutionnel publishes the following par ticulars relating to the State prisoners in the Con • ciergerie " The preliminary examinations relative to the events of 13th June are being carried on with the greatest acti vity. The examining magistrates are regularly installed at the Conciergerie, where they display the greatest zeal and diligence in the accomplishment of their task, and with all the rapidity which is consistent with the interest of justice and of humanity. " It is impossible to judge beforehand of the definitive results to which the examination may lead; but it ap pears probable that the prisoners will be placed in two distinct categories: one to be sent before the High Na tional Court of Justice, and the other before the courts mariiai. The first category will comprise the leaders of the insurrection; the representatives who shall be discovered as having given the signal for civil war—in a word, the individuals who played the leading parts in the affair of the 13th June; and the other category will be those who may be found guilty of having committed insurrectionary acts. Versailles is spoken of as the place where the High Court of Justice will hold its sit tings. The proximity of that town, the rapidity of communication, the imposing assemblage of military force, are the reasons which have doubtless determined the choice of Versailles for this purpose. " The number of persons in confiument for the insur rectionary movement of June still amounts to more than 200, although many have been set at liberty during the last two or three days. It is to be presumed that the above number will be increased by further arrests, which may result from future examinations. All the prisoners, without distinction, are at present confined in the Con ciergerie, that part of the prison which surrounds the court appropriated to the female prisoners being allotted to them. The representatives who are there confined have been placed a la pistole. In consequence of the number of prisoners, it has been found necessary to place two in the same cell. Several of them have ob tained permission to take their meals together. Other political offenders, unconnected with the affair of Juste, are also confined in the Conciergerie, M. Yroudixon amongst the number. " Almost all the prisoners pass the day in the large open space devoted for their exercise, but it has been remarked am: they hold very little conversation toge ther; indeed, that a great degree of coolness appears to exist amongst them. The majority of them employ their time either in reading, writing, or smoking. Several among them still wear their uniform as belonging to die artillery of the National Guard, and very few blouses' are to be met amongst them. " M. Guinard has, for the last two days, been placed in close confinement (au secret). The others are allowed to have frequent communication with their families. One of them, who is at the head of a commercial house, has been twice allowed to leave the prison under escort, to affix his signature and give orders." The Illoniteur publishes official returns from the Commissioners of Customs, showing the amount of merchandise imported and exported during the first five months of 1847, 48, and 49, and the amount of duty paid on them. It appears from those returns that the Custom duties received during the first five months of the present year, exceed by 17,260,096 f. the amount received during the corresponding period of the year 1848, and are less by 5,255,194 f. than the amount received during the first five months of the year 14)47. Rumours of the secession of MM. DUFAURE and DE TOCQUEYILLE from the Ministry were again rife yesterday, and it was said that M. TRIERS had at length determined to undertake the responsibilies of office. We believe there is some credit to be attached to these rumours. MM. DUFAURE -and DE TOCQUE.. VILLE have still some character remaining, but their chances of preserving it diminish every hour that they consent to remain the impotent members of a DE FALLOUX Ministry. The proper leader of such a Ministry is the unprincipled author of the infamous laws of September. Two regiments have been sent to the frontiers of Baden to prevent the Republicans of Baden from seek ing refuge in France in case of their defeat by the Imperialists. The servants of Russia ars not slack in obeying the behests of their protector. The mot of M. ESTANCELIN is becoming a fact. Orders have been given for the release of CARRERA and AMETTLER from Fort Lamalgue. They intend, it is said, residing for the future in England. Letters from Nismes state that the telegraph sta tion at Villeneuve, on the line from Nismes to Paris, had been burnt on the night of the 15th by incendi aries. Until it be repaired no dispatches can reach Nismes either from Paris or Lyons. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JUNE 21.

(Signed) " ROEMER. ROSER. DUVERNAY. SC HMIDLIN. IZ UPPLIN. "Stuttgardt, June 17, 1849." ZOPPELT." On the 18th, in the Chamber of Deputies, the Minister ROEMER, announced to the Chamber that he had addressed a note to the President of the German National Assembly, M. LOGWE DE KALPE, that the Government of IVurtemburg could not tolerate ary longer the presence of the National Assembly at Stuttgardt, nor recognise the acts of the Provisional Regency, and requested that they would take their departure immediately. This the Regency refused to do, and it now became a question whether 1 the 100 remaining members of that Assembly were to be conidered as representing: the German nation, the majority of them belonging to the small States, while only thirteen belonged to , Austria; nineteen to Prussia, eleven to Bavaria, and .one to Hanover. If the Government of Wurtemburg allowed the Assem bly and the Regency to continue in Stuttgardt, it would increase the agitation ex i s ti ng i n t h e demo cratic associations in Wurteniburg, and which might be the occasion of sanguinary conflicts, which must end in the ruin of their adversaries; and for all these and other reasons, he pressed on th e Ch am b ers the necessity of supporting the Government in its resolution. The Chamber had pronounced no opinion on the affair up to the departure of the courier. BADEN. The Carslruhe Gazette of the 19th publishes an official report from General klimiosLawsiu to the Provisional Government, from -which it appears that L&denbourg, and the bridge which the enemy seized by surprise have been retaken, and the Hessians and Mecklenburghers repulsed with loss upon Leitershau sen and Grossechen. On the 18th the enemy was forced to retire in great disorder upon Wensheim. PRUSSIA. M. DE IVTDENBRuic has arrived at Berlin for the purpose of arranging for the adhesion of Saxe-Wei mar and all the Thuringian States to the Triple Confederation. The evening edition of the Constitutionnelle an nounces upon good authority that the negotiations for a treaty of peace with Denmark have so far pro gressed that they only await the return of a courier, dispatched on Friday night byr M. DE REEDTZ, the Danish Commissioner, to Cop enhagen, in order to obtain assent to one or two clauses upon which M. DE REEDTZ s instructions were not sufficiently definite. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Cologne Gazette states tha t the intelligence from Hungary is more conflicting than ever. It an nounces that several skirmishes have taken place on the Upper Waag, which have proved favourable to the Hungarians. The cholera is raging among .the Russians at Pres burg ; for exa.rnple, 137 died of it in one day. The report that the Russians had already crossed the Duckla and Jordanow has been contradicted to day. According to the statements of a reconnoitering company, a Russian corps have been defeated in one of the Carpathian passes, wid it is reported in Cracow that two hundred Cossacks have been made pri,oners. It was rumoured in Vienna that the Russians had entered Orsova. lc was also rumoured that th 3 Im perialists had defeated the Hungarians near Itissney, on the banks of the Waag. Ou the other hand the Hungarians are said to have defeated the Austrians at Kumling. iTAL Y. The latest intelligence received from Rome is to the 14th. During the nights of the 11th and 12th the French were actively engaged in forming the second parallel opposite to St. Fancrace. The first night they were unmolested, but the second night the Romans directed several discharges of cannon on the workmen, killing two or three, and wounding eight or nine. At break of day on the 12th a sortie was made from the Portese rate, in order to sur prise the French in their works, and an engagement took place with the protecting battalion. The French receiving reinforcements, the Romans re treated within the walls before six in the morning. The loss on either side is not known. On the 13th and 14th the French batteries effected a breach in the walls. The communication with the sea is cut off. General OUDINOT will spare no means to prevail over the obstinate resistance of the Romans. He has posted on the left bank of the Tiber some cavalry and tirailleurs, to cut the aqueducts and intercept all provisions. A French colonel of dragoons, who im prudently approached too near the walls, was made prisoner. A temporary bridge forms the French communication with the left bank of the river to the south of the St. Paolo - Gate. Oa the 13th the Romans sent a fire-ship against the bridge, which was sunk by the French artillery. The fighting was again renewed on the 14th, and continued when the courier left. The Spaniards under General PALENCA had been defeated by the Romans. Ancona still held out on the 12th. Marshal RaDETzxy arrived at Milan on the 16th. MONEY and commER,CIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wero es mated at 7,000 bales, including 2,000 for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily at full prices. Shares were steady. The Corn market has been very firm to-day, and the arrivals are but small. comprising 2,410 quarters of foreign Wheat and 4,950 of Oats. The business done this week in the Mincing-lane markets has been rather limited by the smaller quantity which holders offer, and the advanced terms which they ask, especially for Sugar, not a public sale of which was held yesterday or has been in progress to-day. The royal mail steamer :Severn, brings late advises from the West India islands. She has in specie and bullion not far short of three quarters of a million of dollars, besides a valuable cargo. In the bearing of the intelligence upon commercial topics we certainly find very little alteration. Trade at Jamaica was dull, and the inhabitants are still very rationally pressing upon the attention of the Government the necessity of cur tailing expenditure, and of adapting the colonial esta blishments to their altered circumstances. The season in parts of Jamaica was not favourable for the crops, and in the other islands there was no particular alteration. The Mexican accounts add nothing of importance to what has already reached us. There is a repetition of the statement that the Indians proved very troublesome, but the information on this point does not appear to be later. There are numerous arrivals again from Australia, but we were enabled to give the principal features of the intelligence from the letters and papers which reached us by the ships announced yesterday. The Continental advices are still of rather a satis factory complexion in connexion with the Money Markets, and political affairs were quieter generally. In trade, we need hardly $5 .. , there was no activity, although the expectation is indulged that the Danish war will speedily terminate, and that there may then be some change for the better. We have stated our impression for some days past that there was exaggeration in the estimated deficiency of the revenue, and some of the City quid nunc now begin to think so too. Indeed there is, in the view of many, a probability of the revenue exhibiting a slight surplus on the year, Irish distress notwithstanding, so excellent has been the result of the pressure from with out in inducing curtailment of expenditure.

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY, Although several fresh runs of English Wheat have been received up to our market coastwile since Monday, the total arrival for the week amounting to 1,560 quarters, the show of samples of both red and white here to-day was again small, but of excellent quality. The attendance of both town and country buyers was limited, nevertheless the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce was decidedly firm at the ex treme rates of Monday, indeed, in some few instances, selected qualities were held for more money. Prior to the close of business a good clearance was effected. The imports of Foreign Wheat have b•-en confined to 2,410 quarters. We had a very moderate quantity on sale, while the business passing was on the increase, at very toll currencies. Fioating cargoes were more inquired for at Is advance. The supply of Barley wss but limited. Grinding sorts were quite as dear as last week. Malting and distilling parcels stl.ady. Malt moved off slowly at unaltered currencies.

The supply of Beasts in to-day's market was very moderate as to number, the time of year considered, but its general quality was good. All breeds were in steady, though by no means active request, at prices about equal to those paid on Monday. The top figure for Beef was 3s 8d per 81bs. With Sheep we were tolerably well supplied. On the whole, the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, and last week's quotations were with difficulty supported ; the extreme value of the best old Downs was 4s per Sibs. The number of Lambs was somewhat extensive. Owing to the prevailing warm weather, the Lamb trade was heavy, and in some in stances the currencies had a downward tendency. The arrivals irom the Isle of Wight have nearly ceased. Calves were in good supply and fair demand, at late rates. In Pigs next to nothing doing.

BOROUGH ILOP MARTLET. Very unfavourable accounts still continue to reach us from the plantations. It is asserted that the growth of Hops will be very small this year, as the bine is in an ex tremely unhealthy state.

The further argutnen . s in this case, which came be• fore this Court upon exceptions aid further directions, occupied his Honour the whole morning. ---------- HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Donizetti's opera of Lucrezia Borgia (to our thinking the bus; of the serious operas of the Maestro) was pro duced here last evening with a cast so extraordinary for its strength as to be pnsitively unique. We give the cast entire, as a dramatic curiosity. It is as followa: Luerezia ..• ... Madlle. Parodi. AMR() Orsini ... Madlle. Alboni. Gennaro •.• •Sig. Moriani. Liverotto ••• Sig. Bottles. Vitellezzo ▪ Sig. Bartolini. Rustighello ▪ Sig. Dai Fiori. Aston-0... ... Sig. Arnoldi. Gazella ••• Sig. Colette. Gubetta •• ••• Sig. Belletti. Petrucci ..• ••• Sig. F. Lablache. Alfonso... ... ... Sig. Lablache. So long as operas are thus cast at her Majesty's Theatre, it is certain to retain the character nhieh it long since acquired, of being the first lyrical establishment in Europe. The Lucrezia of Mademoiselle Parodi is her greatest character as yet, and not only is it her greatest character, but she is by tar the greatest representative of the part who has as yet appeared. In the part of Lucrezia Borgia more, perhaps, than in any other part in the whole range of the drama, do we find dignity and passion combined, and therefore is it a part more pe culiarly suited to the powers of Mademoiselle Parodi. Both as regards conception and execution her Lucrezia is perfect; it is full of passion, but if is the passion of a queen, of one who has been long tutored to command the expression of her feelings, albeit she feels deeply— who betrays by a look, by the play of the features, the deep conflict that is going on within (as was exhibited marvellously in the scene with Altonso and Gennaro in the first, or more properly speaking, the second act, in which Alfonso poisons Gennaro), but not by any gesture or overt act, until the passion becomes so intense as to break through all bounds, and tEen the pent-up toirent bursts forth like melted lava, overwhelming everything in its course, as was the case in the last scene, the far-lamed " iYi'odi m i odi," in which Gennaro dies poisoned by her, his mother. Were we to particularise the beauties of her acting in this character, we should be obliged to follow the example of Voltaire with regard to Racine, and write at the end of each scene "beautiful—perfect." She was in excellent voice, and sung the music deliciously; never have we heard a feeling of such exquisite tenderness infused into any compesition as she infused into the exquisite " Come e hello" in the prologue, and then in the marvellous trio with Alfonso and Gennaro in the poisoning scene, her expres,ion of horror and despair was avulsing, .and all the more intense because it was sub. dued. Moriani looks thinner than he did when he WAS here three years since, but his voice has recovered completely the delicious sweetness and expression for which it was so tamed in Italy, and in which on his last visit here it was somewhat deficient. His acting was as usual perfect. The dying scene was one of the most beautiful pieces of acting ever seen. Alboni was the Orsini, and Lablache the Alfonso— c'est tout dire en un mot. The fact that Colvin, Beletti, Bordas, and F. Lableehe appeared in the minor parts is alone sufficient to prove the strength of the cast. In fact the representation of Lucrezia Borgia last night came as near to the perfect representation of a perfect work as ever wo can hope to see realised. The princi pal artists were all called for at the conclusion, and also several times during the course of the performance. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The Matr?'nzonio Segfeto was performed last niet— the speciality of the cast being the personation of Gero nimo by Tamburini, who, in con , equ,'nce of the si ces sion of Ronconi from the establishment, now undertakes it for the first time. The change, we suspect, is cer tainly not for the worse. But Tamburini threw t.; tone of waspishness and imbecility rather than humour into the part, and hence the conception had little in common with that of Lsblsche, whose unctious fulness and spontaneous comicality were thus totally lost. Never theless the performance was in its way excellent, and had we not have been troubled with a standard of corn pari.son, would no doubt have made a sensation. The opera was strongly filled, though there was no novelty in the Elisetta of Grisi and the Carolina of Prrsiani, both of whom sang with their best brilliancy, and quarrelled with the most sprightly acrimony. The trio "La Licchio un inchino" was given with all the vivacity of olden times, and it is superfluous to praise it now. Mario, as a matter of course, sustained his well-known part of Panlino, delivering the "Fria the spunti" in his best manner, and consfquently gaining the applause that inevitably belongs to such a perfect and winning exhibition of vocal taste and vocal expression. Madame Angri was the Fidalma, which she made promi nent by the graphic fidelity of her acting: her singing, too, was a valuable contribution to the ensemble, auri cannot be prized too highly. She gave the " E vero" with great spirit, though not with the delicacy and tact of Alboni. Count Robinson, who was originally destined to have been embodied by Tamburini, was now filled by Tagliafico, who discharged the duties thus urn xpectedly thrown upon him creditably enough, though drollery is not his forte. The opera was, as a whole, performed with admirable finish; an d the chef d'auvre of Cima rosa was never represented more accurately. The principals came one and all before th© curtain at the close. The last act of the Sonnambula followed, in which Mr. Sims Reeves and Persiani appeared. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The tragedy of Strathmore was repeated here last evening, and went off if pozsible better than on the pre ceding night. There can be no doubt but that Strathmore will have a long run, as no sinister it.flu. nces will be permitted at the Haymarket to interfere with its success, as was the case with the Patrician's Daughter on the occasion of its original production. We ate glad to see that Mr. Stuart, eschewing the provinces, has joined the Hay market corns. As Hamilton, the Puritan leafier, his acting in ths new tragt dy is full of energy and vigour, and contributes not a little to the success of the piece. He seems the very beau ide a l o f th it stern oil covenanter who stopped the carriage of A rc hbi s h op Sharpe, and kill e d t h e prelate not from hate, but fr(.m a stern sense of duty, because he would not "do the Lord's work carele:,sly." Mr. Stuart was welcomed back by the audience as an old favoutite should be welcomed back. THE "HISTORIC Tnins."—The current number of the Historic Times, puhlished this morning (No. 23), is of a merit so remarkable in its illustration, that we cannot do otherwise than direct to it the general attention of the public. Several cf the engravin gs (apparently glyphographic from the clearness of the " cross hatching") are scarcely unworthy of being the production of the late gifted and lamented Orrin Smith. Some of the embellishments, moreover, pre sent an additional novelty in the mere printing of them—being coloured in a sort of neutral tint. PORTRAIT OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.
