Then mighty tube that apan'st the sea, At Menai's far-famed straits ; My wonder-stricken muse on thee With duteous honour waits. flow mighty looks thy iron frame, While ocean yawns below ; Thou wilt immortalize the name Of him who formed thee so. To Rhodes' huge colossal form, Successor thou shalt be ; A monster mid'st the ocean's storm— The wonder of the sea. Well might thy builder's skill be praised, While 'mid our hopes and fears, Thy vast majestic tube was raised Upon its mighty piers... Enormous tube I for such thou art, Thy form so vastly planned ; Calls to my mind that princely Mart, Which Moses' raised on land. Nay do not scorn to be corn; aced With Moses' vast Depot— A greater Mart was never reared— And I'm alloweA to know. But what is giant bulk alone, When rightly understood? 'TIS nought, unless smile use ix shown — Some end to public good. The Mart of Moses, like to thee, Was thus designed to act; And every article we see Establishes the fact. Ico equal bath there ever been To Mos , s' dress display ; And proofs of this thou must have seen Upon thy launching day. Didst thou not note, on either shore, The gentlemen attired In Moses' dress, which more and more, Deserves to be admired ? I noticed them : for there they were, In tens of thousands, too ; And oft amid the exciting stir, I turned me round to view. Great tube (and here I placed my hand Slip-bang upon my heart) May'st thou retain as firm a stand As Moses' noted Mart. LIST OF PRICES. IZADY MADE.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-A Bruised Foot Cured, and Amputation of the Toes Prevented by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Oliver Smili Jenkins. Falkirk, when super intending the erection of a railway bridge, had his foot severely bruised by the falling of a heavy stone. Apprehending that serious consequences would result from it, he consulted some of the most eminent surgeons in Edinburgh, who informed him that to effect a cure two of Lis toes must be amputated; re fusing to submit to this he returned to Falkirk, and commenced using Holloway's :Ointment and Pills, and, miraculous as it may appear, these invaluable medicines healed his foot, and in three weeks he was enabled to resume his employment. Sold by all Druggists; and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. HULL, JUNE 26. MeSsrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The im ports of the past week have been exceedingly moderate, and the same cause operating as we noticed in our last circular, the transactions have been limited, no one feeling disposed to sell from warehouse except at an advance beyond what buyers are willing to comply with. The weather, though not hot and forcing, has been seasonable, with stme nice rain yesterday. At to-day's market, owing to yesterday's report of Mark-lane, our farmers were asking a considerable advance upon last week's rates ; millers were not disposed to give more than 3s to 4s ner quarter more money, so that the business was some thing checked. But little fresh foreign on sale, and the transactions consequently limited, at an advance of 2s per qr. Barley for grinding purposes goes off freely, and in some in eances a little advance is managed. Beans and Peas unaltered. A parcel of white Indian corn on sale at 345, 4SOlbs.

Wheat sold at an ad vance of 3d per bushel. Flour was 6d to Is per barrel and 6d per sack dearer, with a tolerable free market. Oa's were l 1 / 2 d per bushel dearer, but in oatmeal there was no improvement. Full prices were paid for boiling beans and peas. Indian corn was unaltered; yellow, before the close of the market, was 6d per quarter lower; white is scarce. LEEDS. JUNE 22.—. The advance in the London markets yesterday has not had its usual effects upon ours. The trade has been dull to-day, and we do not quote wheat dearer, though last week's prices are fully maintained. There is more doing in all descriptions of spring corn, at rather better prices.

MANCHESTER TRA DE REPORT, TUESDAY.—We have had a firm and prosperous market this day. There has been a considerable amount of activity displayed. Much inquiry prevails for all kinds of light goods, and during the whole of last week a good amount of busi ness was transacted for the Eastern markets. Shirtings commanded a good price, and in some cases an advance on last week's prices; but generally the rates of last week may be quoted as ruling in the market. Employment continues to be good, and manufacturers are well em ployed for some time to come. Considering the state of continental Europe, and that the present is not a busy time for the home- trade houses, trade generally may be said to be exceedingly good. SUCCESS OF THE DUTCH AGAINST THE PIRATES OF BALLY IN THE EAST INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO.—It will be recollected that a Dutch expedition left Batavia for the purpose of accomplishing the subjugation of Bally, had c.natnenced operations with encouraging success. The first victory was attended by severe loss of life. The attack commenced on the lath of April, and after thir teen hours hard fighting all the fortifications were taken, and the Netherlands flag was hoisted within the walls. The Ballinese, it is said, had 5,000 killed, and the loss of the Dutch was about 250. From a postcript to a Batavia letter we learn the Rajahs of Balaling and Karang Assam bad laid down their arms without re• sistance, and submitted unconditionally to the Dutch. The Dutch have now gained undisputed possession to an island which has long been regarded as the granary of the Eastern Archipelago, and which had been re• peatedly offered to the English. COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. —A serious explosion from fire-damp occurred at half past seven o'clock yesterday morning in a pit belonging to Mr. T. Morris, of Great Bridge, near Dudley. The colliers, 68 in number, on entering the pit, an hour be fore, were accompanied by Thomas Pritchards, the " doggy," who had the safety lamp, and is said to have made use of it. The explosion was heard in the neigh bourhood, and in a short time several thousands of per sons were assembled, and exertions were made as speedily as possible to rescue the work people. Before eleven o'clock eight of them were brought up dead, and 54 living, of which last number many were dreadfully injured. Six boys were still in the pit, of whose deaths no doubt was entertained. Seven horseiiasste amongst were in the pit at the time, two of which have been brought up alive. The pit had not been worked since Saturday last, gr ea t caution was, therefore, requisite in entering it y es t er d ay ause o f those tthe cd m ae o irn T ro3 n xi v i ir n ety g edil . iossfi T uvlin h Efek e , Fn u sol n nvtßis f d, o n r a. E t s u y n e a t t e t h ‘ e ' d i o m g g m y e ' d ' AT CLEREENWELL.—This morn ing, about one o'clock, a fire occurred on the premises of Mrs. Minter, Margaret -street, Pentonyille. It ori• ginated in the room of a watch-jeweller on the first flqor, named Stock. The policy procured the Farlin g _ don-street and Whitecross-street engines and firemen, and although the fire had made alarming progress, the firemen succeeded in subduing the flames, not, how ever , until a large amount of jewellery had been destroyed, and the building damaged. Mrs. Minter only is insured in the Union Fire-office.' STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA,—This important project is again about to be brought promi nently before the public at a meeting to be held to-day at Willis's Rooms. The rapidly increasing importan9o of our possessions in the Southern Pacific gives to this subj• et peculiar interest at the present momtnt, and we are glad to see any demonstration made which will tend to accelerate our Intercourse with them. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The debate on foreign affairs was not concluded in the Legislative Assembly on Monday, but was ad journed over to the next day, after a speech from M. DE TOCQUEVILLE, in which be declared that after having most carefully considered the subject he had been unable to discover the slightest trace of that new Holy Alliance of which M. MAUGIN had ex pressed such jealousy. In the course of his speech M. DE ToCQUEVILLE talked of the "frankness" of the Russian Government, an expression which was received with shouts of derisive laughter. A new "circle" of Representatives has been formed, under the title of " Reunion of the Extreme Left," with M. GREVY as President, MM. CREPU and Ess. ARAGO as Vice-Presidents; MM. VEIL SIGNY and BANCAL as Secretaries, and M. DURAND SAVOYUT as Treasurer. Intelligence has been received from Algiers to the 20th of June. The ilfoniteur Algeria reports several advantages gained by the French troops over the Arab tribes. The Evenement publishes the following extract a a letter from Berne of the 21st of June : " M. Ledru Rollin, accost panied by two other persons, arrived last night at Berne, by the diligence from Bale. This day at noon, he left Borne by the coach for Geneva. The report of his presence in the federal city occasioned some sensation, and a crowd of 1,500 persons, of all ages and both sexes, assembled at the coach , office to see him take his departure. M. Ledru Rollin, being desirous of avoiding public observation, had taken the precaution to quit the city a short time before the departure of the coach, 'which he did not join until it had passed the gate of Moral. 110 was, however, followed by a large crowd. General Tniard has also just arrived at Geneva." It is said that the English Government has pre rented a friendly remonstrance against the bombard went of Rome, and has urged upon the French Go vernment the necessity of coming to an accommoda. tion with the Romans. M. de Llnaartine has addressed the following letter to the electors of Orleans, who asked him whether, in case of a thuble election, he would make his choice in favour of the Loiret "Paris, Juno 22. "I have only time to thank you, and to tell you that I accept with gratitude the candidateship of the Loireis. Every probability appears to me to be is favour of the choice of a department which has been one of the first to offer me political hospitality. I am, however, preventeil by circumstances, over which I have no control, from making a formal engagement on that point at this mo ment. Act, therefore, you and your friends, according to the suggestions of your hearts; and rely, succesful or unsuccessful, on my sincere and cordial devotedness. " LANARTINE." The funeral of Madame ARMAND MARRAST took place on Monday. M. ARMAND MARRAST was un• able to be present, in consequence of severe illness brought on by excessive grief. General CAVAIGNAC and a great number of the friends of M. MARRAST were present. M. COQUEREL, the Protestant pastor, pronounced a most eloquent discourse at the grave. Several men in workmen's dresses were pre s ent, and seemed deeply affected ; they were, it seemed, some of the insurgents of June, who had owed their par don to the intercession of Madame MARRAST. Madame MARRAST was an English lady, with whom M. ARMAND MiRRAST had become acquainted during his exile in this country, some few years since. The towns of Givors and Rives de Gier, in the de partment of the Loire and the town of Gex, near Geneva, have been declared in a state of siege. The Moniteur publishes a decree, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, dissolving the National Guard of Salons and of Perigueux. A letter from Toulon of the 22d inst. states, that in consequence of a demand for reinforcements made by General OUDINOT, four batteries of artillery and two regiments of the line were to be embarked im- I mediately for Civita Vecchia. The steam-boat Caton, which returned to Toulon from Port Vendres on the 21st inst., received orders to sail forthwith for Italy with dispatches from the Gcvernment for General OUDINOT and M. DE CORCELLES. She sailed again from Toulon on the 21st. The deposits received in the Paris savings bank on Sunday and Monday last amounted to 247,717 the deposits withdraWn on those days amounted to 43,0041. The Bank of France has announced a dividend for he last half-year of 54f., payable on the '2d of July. -- . . The cholera continues to dirninf-h. The deaths on the 22d of June were only 97, of which 67 were in private houses, 26 in civil hospitals, and 4 in military hospitals. On the 231 the deaths, as far as known, were 24 in private houses and 37 in hospitals, hut the return is incomplete.

The German journals announce the complete rout of the Badenese and Bavarian insurgents—intelli gence of which was previously received by telegraph. On the 21st Generals PEUCHNER and EliascnrEnn drove them from their positions on the Neckar, in the direction of Wieslock. The Prince of PRussra attacked them near Ladenberg, where they made a firm re sistance for nine hours. The next day he crossed the river and took possession of Heidelberg without meeting with any resistance. He afterwards pro ceeded to Mannheim, the respectable inhabitants of which place, supported by a regiment of Baden dra goons, which had refused to act with the insurgents, rose against the free corps which had so long op pressed them. In the evening, Generals HIR , IIFELD and PEUCHNER fell in with the principal body of the insurgents, under MIEROSLAWSKI, near Wag hausel. On seeng them part of the insurgents took to flight, and the rest were easily vanquished. The Carlsruhe Gazette, the organ of the insurrectionory Govern. merit, pretends that they retired in good order, and would be able to resume hostilities. cbaw. It is said that the corps de reserve, which is ♦ery considerable, will march close up, to sustain the operations of the main body; and it is added that the EMPEROR in person will remain some days with the active army. The Aug eburgh Gazette states that the Emperor of Ros,LA is about to take up his residence at Warsaw, and that the Corps Diplomatique 11:s already pro ceeded to that city.

The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan faces which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I. I lIIECKLENBURGH. The Constituent As,embly of the Duchy of Meek lenburgh has just voted a Constitution of a very democratic character ; but, of the 102 articles of which it is composed, the Government has protested against 55, as inexecutable. AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND RUSSIA. Jellachich, it is now admitted by the Austrians themselves, has been forced to raise the siege of Peterwaradin and to evacuate Neusatz, where his troops were too much exposed to the fire from the fortress. He continued only in the occupation of one of the suburbs, which lies without range of gun shot from Peterwaradin. VIENNA, JUNE 21.—The Imperial Russian army, under the command of the Prince of Warsaw (P • kiewitch), crossed the Hunga r i an f ront i er on the 1; s tb and 18th, in four main columns, commanded re,pec tively by Generals Basching, Bielageyeff, Rudigee, and Grabbe. The head-quarters under r the e de Prince was BarfYeld, on th e 18th. The com mand of Ge nera l s Sacker() and Sass, , are temporarily placed in Gallicia and the Hungarian frontier. It appears from letters in the Austrian and German journals that engagements have recently taken place between the Austrians ar.d Hungarians at Kapo var, Szered, and on points of the Waag ; but whilst some 'ascribe the victory to the Austrians, others give it to the Hungarians. The German Reform, which has hitherto been favour able to the Austrians, says that they have sus tained severe checks. It is stated that cholera, typhus, and other maladies are raging in the Russian camp, and that the Magy ars diF p la y g reater enthusiasm than ever. It was reported that the Austrians had taken Raab. KosAyru had ordered the Austrian prisoners, severa l thousandin number, to be employed on the wo rks of the Szolnok and Debriczin Railway. According to letters received at Vienna on the 19th. the Russian troops reviewed by the Emperor of R USSIA . acc ompanied by Grand Duke -, p ONSTANTINE AM: Prince PASKIEWITSCII, at Duckeau, amounted t 87,000 men, comprising those of Gen. SAAB, ahead) in Hungary. This force is destined to act in the comitat, of Zips, and consequently to march 133 Bortfeld, Eperies, Lentochau, Keesmark, and PRUzISIA. Hanover is reported to have come forward with a project which is likely to add to, rather than alle viate, the present difficulties of the German question. It proposes, namely, that Austria and Prussit shall divide the supreme power between them, not alter. nately, but conjointly. This chiefdom to be sup ported by a Council of State, consisting of repre sentatives from all the other States of Germany. This Chiefdom and Council of State is intended to replace the Curatorship of Prussia and the College of Princes, as proposed by the Triple Confederation. SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENRAGEN, JUNE 20.—The day before yestr day, in the afternoon, the Prussian steamer the Oder, carrying a flag of truce, entered our roadstead. She had on board the Chamberlain Quaade, Secretary to Baron Reedtz, the late Danish mediator at Berlin. The Chamberlain was kept under quarantine at Klampenborg, but his dispatches were sent:on to the Government. This event has caused great surprise and curiosity in the capital, but there can be no doubt whatever that they are connected with the pending negotiations for peace. The greatest secrecy is preserved on the part of the Government.-- Hamburgh Papers, June 22. ITALY. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 17th. Up to that date no breach had been made in the walls. General OUDINOT had endeavoured to cut off the supply of water to Rome by damaging an aqueduct. The last barbarian who perpetrated such an atrocity was Torn.a. The Roman Monitor of the 15th inst. publishes a proclamation, addressed by the Triumvirate on the 14th to the National Guard, stating that percussion muskets being indispensable for the defence of the city, all citizens who possessed such guns were re quested to surrender them for the use of their brethren of the army : " Flint guns," it says, " are sufficient for the defence of order and of the interior of the city, and such an ex change is cons( quently the duty of all good citizens." " People," says another document, contained in the Monitor,— • In order to be closer to the point attacked, the Com mittee of Barricades is removed from the Boromeo Palace to the Faruese Palace. In this laver armorers will to found to repair, gratuitously, the guns of the people. (Signed) " i lIE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. Rome, June 15." The following appeal also appeared in the Roman Monitor : " Alt the owners of a Stutzen gun or a Vincennes carabine are requested to present themselves immediately to the Chief of the Staff of General Garibaldi, at the gate of San Pancrazio, to be formed into a legion, under the direction of an intelligent officer. Independently of rations, each will receive five paoli per day. The said legion is to be employed on the ramparts. The country greatly relies on their ability, and trusts that none shall be deaf to the invitation. (Signed) " The Minister of War, AVEZZANO." The Roman Monitor of the 15th inst. states that the Legion of Masi and the corps of Arcione ob • tained an important success on the side of the Ponte- Milvio. The French had retreated after having suffered considerable loss, first burning the positions they could not hold. In the Transtevere an inge nious mode has been adopted of extinguishing bombs by covering them with wet clay before they explode. The French National publishes the following letter from M. Mazzini, refusing to attend a conference which that journal declares was proposed to him, ron-officially, by a person of some standing in Gen. Oudinot's. camp : " Rome, June 13. "Sir,—lt is 'mpossible for me to go to the advat.ced posts to see you. Oar conversation, besides, unfortu nately for us, could have no issue favourable to your views end ours. I have the conviction that we have ex hdusted all possible means of conciliation, and that it only remains to us to fight. %Ye w ill do so—we will do so, you may ba assur, d, from wall to wall, from street to street, from barricade to bar ricade. We may be conquered, but not put down. We had flattered ourselves with the hope that France wculd at length feel how much there is noble, sacred, and worthy of herself in our attitude, and that Vitro is —permit me to be frauk—contralictoly and tyrannical in the part that she plays here with us. We have proclaimed towards France, not a state of war, but a state of defence ; we have sent back your prisoners; we have rejected all the occasions which presented themselves to us to combat your troops with advantage; we offered healthy cantonments to those who could not be accommodated at Civita Vecchia, and we declared that we were ready to concede all, one thing excepted— the occupation of Rome. And yet that is what is re quired. France, after having fought against us, blockaded us, disarmed us;deprived us of all our resources,condemned us to see, with arms in our hands, our territory invaded by Austria, now says to us—'l will have Rome. I will have it without condition, without a programme, or I will en deavour to crush it, to bombard its monuments, which are venerated by all Europe, and to Massacre its brave populaiion.' To that you must perceive, Sir, that there is only one reply to make, and we shall make it. I know not whether we shall fall, but I know that there are falls which confer honour.—l have the honour, &c., "JOSEPH MAZZINL" The bombardment still continues, and the following public buildings have received considerable damage : The churches of Saint Pantaleon, Saint Agnes, Santa Maria Transteverana, Santa Maria del _Mao, and Santa Maria in Vallicello. The Pantheon has been struck, and sixteen bombs have fallen on the' capitol. The villa Borghese, fitted up by the Princess Pau- LINE, from the suggestions of the Emperor NAPO LEON himself, (who, to his honour be it spoken, during all his wars treated all works of art with an almost superstitious reverence, and never destroyed a public building) has been com pletely wrecked by the troops of his nephew, but the laurels of the two NAPOLEONS have been won after different fashions. NAPOLEON the Great fought at Marengo, at Austerlitz, at Jena, and at Wagram ; the other NAPOLEON fought in the streets of Rome as an insurgent in 1831, and walked in the streets of London as a special constable in 1848. It is not surprising that Constable 130NAPARTE should follow the example of Constable BOURBON. The illilan Gazette describes the capitulation of Ancona, which we had already announced. It took place on the 18th after a well-sustained bombardment. The conditions of the capitAlation, according to the same jourcal, are a political amnesty for the inhabi tants, the dissolution of the corps forming the present . garrison, and the occupation of the fortress and of the port of Ancona by the Imperial troops in the name of his Imperial Majesty. Letters from Turin state that the treaty of peace is on the point of being concluded; the only question is that with respect to the amnesty to be granted to the Lombards and Venetians. The Concordia of Turin, of the 22d, quotes a corre spondence from Venice of the 16:h, stating that the Austrian shells reach no further than the canal Reggio, which has been abandoned by all those who are not engaged in its defence ; they have been accommodated in various palaces, among others in the lath of the Duchess of B ERRY . I n th e sitting of 15th the Assembly, by a new vote, confirirel i , d its decree of April 2, to th e e ff ect that Venice would re sist to the last. T wo commissions had been named —one for defence, matically r for treating diplo- The Co N ; ' s t t h itia th z e. on Pa a on i e o rd t f hs T e Trie s te, e, f the 18th, states, on the faith of travellers who had arrived from Venice, that while the weather was favourable to the block• tiding squadron, great want of butcher's meat, wood, &c., was Mt; but that, in consequence of the late storms that had forced the blockading vessels to seek refuge in the ports, many ships laden with meat and wood had entered Venice. Other provisions were not wanting, as the surrounding islands furnished abund ance of garden produce. SICILY. The conduct of the Neapolitan Government since they have obtained possession of Sicily is such as all thosi who knew the peculiar nature of Bourbon faith predicated it would be, such as to fully justify those members of the late Sicilian Government who refused to treat in any manner with Bomba or his myrmi dons. Every condition of the capitulation of Pa lermo has been violated. Notwithstanding the publi cation of the general amnesty, from which only 43 persons were excluded, several persons who had re tired to Messina, and whose names did not appear in the list of the 43, have been arrested ; and among them is a priest—the Able ALLEGRA. A journal, the Forbice, having ventured to complain of this infraction of the law, has in consequence been suppressed, and its editor, M. SALAFIA has been arrested and imprisoned. The list of those excluded from the amnesty has been increased in direct violation of the treaty of eapitulation, by the addition of the names of ..`2CG other persons, among whom are the Marchionesss of SemmAßTtho And several other ladies. IA prodatnatii by FILANC IERT had an . nounced t o tee Sicilians that the eldest son of the King of NAPLES would reside at Palermo, and govern Sicily as Viceroy, and that the Sicilians wh y had been made prisoners by the Nespcditans in the vv,iters of Corfu, and had been detained at Naples since July 1848, in consequence of their connexion with the expedition to Calabria, would be' SA at liberty, 'with the exception of the chiefs. The Cos tanza, a Palermitan journal, ventured, after the laps. of several days, to ask FILANGIERI when the arrival of the VICEROY might be expected, and who were the chiefs who would not be set at liberty. "The printer of the journal was immediately, arrested and imprisoned, and the journal' itself suppressed, and the King of . NAPLES has disavowed the promise of FILAEGIERI, both as regards the. Viceroyalty of the Duke of CALABRIA and the liberation of the Sicilian priioners. The band of a battalion of the National Guards havingone evening performed some Italian airs, FILANGIERI ord ere d th e c hi e f ( f the battalion to be arrested, and in order to obtain his great object, which is a virtual dissolution of the National Guard, FILANGIERI published on th e li t of J une an ordi nance prohibiting froM serving in _the Nati ona l Guards— Ist.

All those Ssho were not Palermitans. he National Guard is ltkev‘ire I,rohibited from appearing in arms, passing in review, or performing any military duty without the express permission of FILANGIERI, or his Deputy, and he menaces certain officers in the National Guard, with whose language he expresses himself as di►pleased. The 7th article is as follows—lt has been observed that in many places in the city, and even this very day. in the Place Bellaro, that the Royal armorial bearings which are placed at the commencement of all the ordinances of the Royal authorities have been soiled and covered with filth. If the National Gtiard does not see these proceedings it is a proof that it per forms the r üblid service carelessly, if it does aee them and not prevent them, it would be still worse, as that would furnish a proof of a connivance, or at least a toleration worthy of reproach. Letters from Malta, of the 11th of June state, that the venerable RUGGIERO SETTIEW wsa still in the island in a state of excellent health: — lre says that his only consolation under the catastrophe that has overwhelmed his country is, that his conscience is completely pure, and that he has nothing to reproach himself with, and feels no remorse. The Governor of the Island, Admiral PARKER, and all the authorities, treat this venerable patriot with every mark of profound respect; he, however, leads a retired life, and refules every invitation.

We have the pleasure of announcing that Mr. Luta. ley, who returned yesterday from Berlin, has defini. tively settled the engagement of Madame Sontag, who will immediately appear at her Majesty's Theatre, the scene of her former triumphs. This lady, whose theatrical career was as brief as it was brilliant. retired from the stage on her marriage with a noble man of distinguished rank, holding a high office in; the service of his Sovereign. For some years she hap pily enjoyed her privileged position amidst universal respect, and she received marks of more than ordinary con , ideration from the soy. reigns, princes, and other great personages of the different courts which she visited. ltectnt circumstances, resulting from the deplorable convulsions on the continent, have now induced her to return to the stage. During the interval which has elapsed since ber retirement, she has constantly culti vated her remarkable natural gifts of voice, and it is understood that she has added to her former power and beauty of tone still greater delicacy in expressing every shade of vocal and dramatic sentiment. Some information with respect to the past career of this gifted and accomplished lady will be interesting to our roaders. Madame Sontag, a German by birth, began,. her career at fifteen years of age. Almost immediately on her appearance at the German Opera at Vienna she created the gr, atest enthusiasm. The celebrates; Barbsja, who at the same moment was the impre sario of three of the greatest operatic theatres of Europe, having heard her sing at Vienna em ployed strenu , us exertions to withdraw her from thca German to the Italian lyrical stage. He at length suc ceeded in his object, and she made her debut in thee Donna del Lugo at the Grand Opera of the Carinthia. Hon ever, this new aspect of her talent created such a sensation that offers of unlimited liberality poured in from every quarter, and at the close of the season the judicious and enterprising Severini had the good fortune to secure Madame Sontag's services for the Italians ire Paris. There she met with another celebrated primes donna who had long preceded her, Madame Malibran; and with her distinguished colleague she performed, as with an elder sister, in Tanciedi, 111 1 latrimonio, anti many other operas. So conspicuous was her success that every effort was made to bring her to London; and she arrived the following season in England. Her clibut took place at a concert at Devonshire-house in the Easter week. Such was her reputation, not only for musical genius, but for beauty, elegance, and fasci. nation of every kind, that the crowds of eager spectators in the streets equalled the throng of nobility, rank, and fashion, under the roof of the great dilettante and patron want of eaas7fan ,tosfg, of art, the Duke of Devonsh re. A few days after • wards she made her more that' Theatre, when appearance a pe re a a ra li n Zd e atthheehrigMhaejexspieyc'll tations which had been raised. Most of the great prima donne of our times have been compelled, in soprano parts, to compensate by their genius and science for the pa w ss ho o s f e th n e a i t r u v ra o l ice v s o — ice as % , ,a f s or a e r x u a g m w p d le, m in ezz th u ! Malibran, who was a real contralto. In the public found a real soprano, " to the in sc3:la' a Pas n edr n aa° e nmi. r °Pe' b or u," enabling her to perform with certainty of tone, and with exquisite ease, purity, and delicacy, the most intricate passages and original embellishments. whether with full tone or mezza Voce. When she firstap peered in ltosina, she revelled abet luxuriated in roulades, arpeggios, and fanciful divisions; and, subsequently, in Donna Anna, she proved that she could sing iu the chastest classical style, and produce the same effect by pure sentiment and expression, as she had done before by ficriture and staccato passages. From England Madame Sontag went to Berlin, where, through the influence of her amiable qualities, no less than by her talents, she gained the marked esteem and regard of the late King of Prussia and the royal family. There she becime attached to a young Piedmonteae noble man, the representative of his Sovereign at that court. Her lest upperaece was in Stmiramide. This performance appeared as if it were a national celebra tion. All li'erlin was present, and the whole audience was in tears when she bale adieu. On the occasion o f her marriage the King of Prussia, attended by all the princesses of the blood, himself gave away the bride. During the Several missions of her husband at St. Peter bur g h and at Berlin, this amiable and gifted lady was received at Court with the greatest di.- e tr g at such ur was titiction, and s h e occasionally del i g h te d h er i mper i a l an d royal ent erta i ners by the display o f h er gen i us .

She will appear at her Majesty's Theatre very shortly after arrival. published 1 *,, , , tti . ...,t 1.- ;4'' ?!'. . ;;`. 41 (4i, -- 1. ~ . -7- . . • lei. .o',Lomt. \ . 4.4 L .
