The high and universal celebrity which ROWL AN DS' KALYDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing ex tirf•atar of all impurities of the skin, . is during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, ant invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in application, aslor unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan, pimple., spots, freckles, discolouratians, and other cutaneous visita tions. The radiant bloom it iinp.rts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces in the hands and arms, resider it indis pensable to every toilet. Gentlemen, after sharing, will lind it allay all Irritation and ten derness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its ezclus . ve selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. *h.

Dail, Chester, bail thy antiquated city Shall form a fuhject for nay humble muse; For certainly I think 'twould be a pity So good an opportunity to The month of May is nigh, when thy locality Will be a scene of stir and joviality. My sporting pals, who number very many, Arc daily talking of the Chester Cup ; All are aroused—nor can I point to any, But who deight to bring the subject up : Jack, liarry, CunclifTe, Wiltshire, Burgess, Lector, Anticipate the coming race at Chester. Thousands from London at thy coming Meeting Will tread thy streets, thy course, thy walls, thy rows, And for this very purpose crowds are treating At MOSEY' noted art for new Spring clothes— Clothes which will doubtless tempt the Chester people To send to MOSES, facing Algate steeple. MOSES and SON, who well have done their ditty, In furnishing both good and cheap attire, Will show yon time such specimens of beauty, As your discerning folks will all admire ; Dress which will golly deck your race-course entitle, And be admitted as a perfect sample. The Trowsers, Coats, and Tests of last year's season, Made your good people stare with all their eyes; But, thanks to MOSES, I have every reason To think the present fashion far out-vies. And when you R e the stylish, you'll know it, Nor have a cause to contradict the poet. In Boots or Shoes, and Hats, and Shawls for ladies, MOSES and SON will show you what they are; And seeing wt at the nature of th it trade is, Tour citizens will aid them, though so far, More might I say, but I conclude my ditty, By recommending MOSES to your City. • LIST OF PRICES.

NEYERBEER'S OPERA. (PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.) You may imagine how much the Prophet of Meyerbeer has been a piece decirconstance in Paris. To the revolutionists delightful was the idea of a reli• gious hero being brought on the st,ge professing Communism and Socialism, and connecting with sacred dogmas the most unlimited contempt of all the laws that morally restrain man in political life, or in society in its more limited sense. The curiosity of the Conservatives was no lesg:excited, of course, and they lookedlorward to the pleasure of e.intemplating this religious Lord of Mis rule—after destroying all constituted authority of Church and State, burning palaces, and constituting himself king as well as prophet—meeting N ith condign punishment, although in the opera he is not torn of course to pieces by red hot pincf rs, as history records. These attramions apart, .nd that of the difficulty of finding places—Meyer b. ei basin ; I sken the theatre to himselt for five nights —I can not speak in anywise favourably of a work upon which so many hopes were built. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) The opera is characterised by that powerful intricate instrumentation, that sombre loftiness of intention, which characterise Meyerbeer's genius. harmony there is of the amplest kind, but generally it has not the mellowed grandeur suited to the oratorio, whose style it ap proaches nearest, and of which Mendelssohn was so complete a master. To the lyrical operatic style it is greatly opposed—having none of those contrasts of light and shade, and but very few indeed of those melodies which the ear seizes . ana the memory retains. Me) erbeer appears here to have forgotten, more than in any of his more recent works, that the rich and the powerful,' and those whose daps are spent in labours of commerce and of art, do not go to an opera for fierce excitement, to renew the fatigues of the day, but for repose of the mind by change of impression, which nothing dramatic or musical can afford when it it constanly overstrained and of the lugubrious sameness, and the appeal to the ear and the understanding are carried on by the sheer physical force of voices and instruments. In the choice of John of Leyden—a choice clearly dictated by Meyer beer—a greater error hi cbeen committed than in the se lection of Robert le Diable, in which the occasional ap proach to the subjects which all men of good taste, not to speak of the religious, repudiate on the stage, is veiled by the distance and the mingled tuperstitions of the me dieval period.- Whether as a tailor, an enthusiast, an usurper of power, or areligioniet —the selection of John of Leyden fora hero is a most extraordinary thought, and his irreverent doings in his stage character are not likelyto please either the Catholic or the Protestant, or the Die senter; still more certainly would it be offensive to the Anabaptist, since the stern devotee here has revels worthy of Julius 11., if not of Borgia. The Socialists alone will be perfectly suited by the libretto of this opera; therefore was I not astonished to see amongst the audience Count d'Alton Shee, ono of their leaders, the first to applaud, the last to cease. You will see that whilst it cannot afford desirable inspiration to the com poser, its hero and its plot exclude it from performance in most countries. It is surely not under the dominion of the Austrians or the Pope, it is not at Vienna or in Italy that it will be performed. The King of Prussia himself, Meyerbeer's royal master and liege lord, will not like the example of the burning of palaces in religious and political enthusiasm which this opera af fords. As to England, of course a new libretto must be written, if, as it is said, Madame Viardot is to have leave, on the 7th of July, to go over and perform it. I need not say that whatever the defects of the work generally, there are some portions worthy of the palmier days of Meyerbeer'a genius. The two first acts are heavy and ennuyeux, but the others offer some bright exceptions, amongst which I must particularly mention a singular buffo trio, of highly artistic construction, be twixt Oberthal and two Anabaptist preachers, supported by the chorus of Anabaptists, in the third act; and the stanzas sung by the Prophet with a goblet of wine in his hand, before he accomplishes his destructive purpose on the palace in the fifth act. There is also an excel• lent trio in this act betwixt Fides (Viardot), the Prophet (Roger), and Bertha (Caatellan). As re gards mist en scene, nothing has been spared, picto rially or otherwise. Duponchel, who was the first to make vocalists sing a trio on horseback, spares nothing for costume and other theatrical effects of appearance. Nothing is wanting, not even dancing or skating. The (lancers were Plunkett and Petitpas, and the skaters performed a bullabile. The constant rehearsals of tke music of this opera, which keeps the voices of the singers perpetually on the stretch, has so much strained those of the vocalists who perform the principal parts, that it would be unjust to judge them by the result of the first night, when some a motion must have added to their fatigue. Cabtellan, who has a secondary and less bur• thus: some part, written purposely for her alone, cam , out with full ell. cr. As further proof of bid taste in the French capital, I will only add, that bzsides this Ana baptist prophet, there has been another hero of the sfttne kind enacted on the Boulevard. whilst even the martyred Louis XVI. is not respected—Frederic Lemsitre playing this royal personage pith every probable horrible detail, at the Port St. Mat tin.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE TTNE.—A serious accident occurred on Saturday last on the river Tyne, near Wallsend, by which two men named Wear and Moor, and a boy named Robert Watson, were drowned. It appears that the unfortunate sufferers were em ployed at Mr. Potter's coke and brick works at Willington Quay, and bad proceeded in a boat to Walker, where they took in a quantity of iron. On their return they got into .the wake of a steamer, the swell from which was so great that in tacking about the sail jibed,' and in their efforts to right the boat it swamped and went down. Wear soon disappeared ; the boy Watson swam vigorously towards Mordness Quay, where a rope was thrown to him, but whether Iron exhaustion or cold, he did not grasp it, and sank. Moor, in the meantime, swam towards the buoy, but he too, perished within a few yards of it. On Monday, the body of Watson was recovered, and on the following day an inquest was held before Stephen Reed, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. The deceased was only fourteen years of age, and the son of a widow whose husblnd was killed in llovrdon Dock a few months ago. Wcbr was a joiner and unmarried ; and Moor, who 1. as a keelman, bus left a wife and two children.—Newcastle Paper. MAJOR-GENERAL DAVID FoREEL—This gallant officer, who died at Aberdeen on the 29:h of March, en tered the snarly in 1793, and soon after joined the 78th Highlanders Regiment, to which he had been appointed. He accompanied the Ross-shire Highlanders to the Continent, and served in the campaigns of 1794 and 1795, was present at the sortie from Nimeguen, in the action when the French were drive n across the Waal at Bommel, and in the affair of Geldermalsen, in Ja nuary, 1795. In August of the same year he accompa nied his regiment to Quiberon Bay, and assisted at the capture of l'lsle Dieu. In 1796 the 78th were ordered to the Cape of Good Hope, and he witnessed the surrender of the Dutch fleet in Saldanha Bay. In November fol lowing he proceeded with his regiment to India, and served in the campaign in Oude in 1798 and 1799; also in the Mabratta war of 1803, assisting at the storm of the Pettah, and siege of the Fort of Ahmednuggar. It was on this occasion that the late Sir Colin Campbell, then a subaltern of the 78th, by his gallantry and intelligence, attracted the attention of his illustrious patron the Duke cf Wellington. Major-General Forbes was present in every action in which the 78th was engaged in Java during the years 1811, 1812, and 1813, including the forcing of the enemy's position at Wellerreden, the assault of the lines of Cornelis, the heights of Serandolo and Djocjocarta. In May, 1813, by his firmness and judgment he quelled a formidable insurrection which broke out in the eastern parts of the island. On this occasion Major-General Forbes with his • men made a forced march of sixty miles in eighteen hours, during which Lieutenant-Co lonel Fraser and Captain Macpherson, of the 78th, were murdered by the insurgents. During the service in Java he commanded the Light Company of the 78th with the greatest gallantry, and nobly seconded the brave Rollo Gillespie. Under his orders the High landers sustained their national character, and added to the reputation which the " Tartans" have ever . estsib fished on the battle-field. He had the rare qualification of never having apparently made an enemy or provoked a reflection. Itemu or Ratewers.—A numerous meeting took place at the Clarendon Rooms at Liverpool, on Monday, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an adjustment of the are tem of rating railways. Mr. J. B. Moore, Mayor of the borough, presided, and opened the busi ness of the day by observing the object they all had in view was to obtain a more equitable arrangement of the rating of railway property throughout the kingdom. Mr. Moore then instanced various places rated to show the necessity of an equitable adjustment. He then called the attention of his auditors to the manner in which the present system of rating worked per head. The annual value of property rated in Liverpool to March, 1847, was 1,021,8981., and there had been expended in relief to the poor 64,700 L, the adult male population relieved being $3,075; the rate of expenses being 11. Is. 2d. per head. It showed the inequality of the present system. Accord- Ing to the number of persona employed by the London and North-Western Company it was more than 81. per head. Mr. D. Neilson proposed the first resolution— " That railways, under the existing system of ascertain ing the value of that description of property, are com pelled to bear an inequitable and undue proportion of the local rates of the several parishes through which they pass." The shareholders had Leen great sufferers by unjust taxation, until at length their property seemed to have become an object of public plunder. Mr. D. Neilson concluded by a statistical statement of the sums sunk in railways. The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. Stewart, and carried unanimously. Mr. E. Moyley proposed the next resolution:—" That it is inexpedient and against public policy to tax un duly the enterprise by which such great and general advantages have been obtained by the introduction and extension of railways," which was seconded by Mr. W: Stuart, and carried in a similar manner. The third resolution—" That the petition to Parliament then produced, in which the views of the meeting were embodied, be adopted and forwarded to Lord Stanley and to Lord Sefton, for presentation to the House of Lords, and to one of the borough Members for presen tation to the House of Commons, was then moved an& se conded, and carried unanimou sly, and after a few words from the Earl of Sefton, who condemned the pre sent system of rating, the meeting broke up. THE NEW MARRIAGE BILL.—The second reading of the Bill to amend and alter the Act of the sth and 6th Wiliiam IV., c. 54, so far as relates to marriages within certain of the prohibited degrees of affinity, is al poin.ed for the 3d of May, when Mr. Goulburn will, according to rotice, move that it be read that day six months. The Bill is a very abort one. It contains five clauses. After reciting the purport of the Act mentioned, it is proposed that the relief afforded should extend to marriages be tween a man and the sis'or, or the daughter of the brother or sister of his deceased wife, and therefore that the pro hibitory clause should be repeale d. B y tho sec o o f ndcl au r ae msrrisges within the dt gem o f affinity hibited are not to be voidab le, except un h re d r e r r e c t er o tain r ci ° r• curnstancea ; and by the next provision clergymen are no longer to be liable to pen alties for solemnizing marriages between parties within the de g rees of affiuity heretofore prohibited. Further it is proposed that the Act shall not disturb persons poss esse d of property or honours in con sequence of the inva lidity of marriages heretofore con tracted, nor is the Act to a ffect settlements of personal property under wills and testaments administered to be fore the passing of the same. Such is an outline of the measure which has caused so much discussion with re spect to marriages with a "deceased wife's sister." ONLY A SYLLABLE.—There is a strong impression in Ireland, at this moment, that more is to be hoped from reel thsu from Repeal.—Pvich, PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Caraffa's opera La Prison d' Edinboura was produced lyre on Wednesday ev.-ning, under the title of the newt of Mid Lothian. The plot of this opera, which is founded on the novel of Sir Walter Scott, must be, of course, familiar to our readers. Mdlle. Nau was the personator of Madge Wildfire, with whom the composer has lodged the most ambitious of the solo music, the delivery of which could not be more creditably sustained than by this dexterous vocalist, who is always correct, musician•like, and pleasing. We bad some difficulty in associating her wi!h the poor unfortunate of the novel; nevertheless she filled the part with an artlessness that was c ffective, and sang the songs in a delicate and finished manner. Mits Poole was the Jeanie Deans, and the clear enunciation of this admirable English singer, coupled with her genuine truthfulness of style, gave in finite recommendatien to two or three incidental ballads, which might hare fared indifferently without such pure and tasteful interpretation. Mr. IVeiss, as Ratcliffe, sang with his accustomed ♦igour, and Mr. Charles Broil= and Herr Mengis were the representatives of Madge's betrayer and the Duke of Argyle. Miss Lanza exhibited both energy and pathos as Effie Deans. The opera, judging by the applause at the close, was quite successful; end the principal singers passed with great triumph before the curtain. QUEEN'S THEATRE, HULL. This theatre continues to bring before the public a succession of the most valuable English dramas, in which Miss Goddard and Mr. E. Graham sustain the principal characters. On Wednesday evening the performances took place under the highly distinguished patronage of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on which occasion every pains was taken by the lessee to show his appre ciation of the honour conferred; several flags floated from every available portion of the theatre, and over the box entrance was affixed V. R., a crown, and P. A., in flowers, bordered with variegated lamps; over the en trance to the pit weal'. R, an anchor, and P. A., also in variegated lamps. At the time of our arrival at the theatre the assemblage of pertons outside was very great, and the interior filling fast. The:state box, on the right of the stage, was surmounted by &crimson velvet cushion, on which rested a crown,whilst on the front of the box, on a blue ground, the Royal arms were display ed. Long before the commencement of half-prices the pit gave evident token of a scarcity of room, and men were seen as noise lessly as possible removing the boarding at the back of the pit to give some chance of x view to the half-play entry, at which period the house may be said to have been crammed, many parties being obliged to retire without being able to effect an entrance. Sheridan's comedy of the School for Scandal took precedence in the evening's performances—Miss Goddard taking the part of Lady Teazle; Mr. Caple that of Char:es Surface, and Mr. E. Graham that of Joseph Surface. At the end 01 the play Mr. Caple was loudly called for, and on his ap pearance was received with evident testimony of appro bation. After thanking the audience for the honour conferred upon him, ho said—" You, ladies and gentle men, are all aware this evening's entertainment has been to afford an opportunity to the inhabitants of Hull to •evince their feelings of loyalty to her most Gracious Majesty and her Royal Consort, and I am certain if they were here they could not fail to be satisfied at the brilliant assemblage wdhicoi I have now the honour to address, and highly indee d thed I value that position, when I consider I have h present, of humble instrument, on an occasion bile t giving satisfaction to so vast un assemb UM Under your auspices, . and htly around trust the halo of dramatic fame will shine , g t h e Queen s hea re.' ass r eP t s i e e e m b e e n ne the Caple management o f grand t appropriate allego rical which was pres ente d his Roy it:" were sung. uring the whole rical loaylalupt:hgneeasnat pirnif_leheotaiitoujhrerotf, ehneltri:lelB4.tisjE,lB,iigyvicienatd,,h,des n ide during which "G od czG a le e r e y n, a , a n n d d E ...u ng u la te n i3 d r e .v P an r h exh ibi t i o n of this piece the entire of the audi e n ce csvie:tree s tanding, and bats were simultaneously doffed in all parts of the house, whilst cheers and plaudits of loyalty and approbation were long and 10,d. The ex • cellent band of the 81st Regiment, with a suitable num ber of privates, added much to the effect of the tableaux. SerrAmELDS 'LAGGED SCH OOL — Wednesday the second annual meeting of the subscribers to this insti tution was held in the school• house, Vine•court. An elaborate and satisfactory report was read by the Secre tary, the Rev. J. Boucher, of Hackney. It defended the peculiar designation, " Ragged School," as one briefly and fully defining the character of the institution, and concluded by tendering the thankful acknowledg ments to the subscribers (many of whom, besides pe cuniary aid, had made valuable donations of wearing apparel), and to the British and Foreign School Socie:y for their generous presents of books, slates, &c. The report was unanimously adopted, and after the appoint ment of the Rev. T. Gibson, and Messrs. T. F. Gibson (Chairman), Bischoff, Hackblock, D. W. Harvey, Jan son, Johnson, Kendall, Lawford, Marshall, Yenning, and Wright, as a committee, the meeting separated.

The llamburgh mail brings advice' of such vigorous preparations by the Germans against the Danes that the latter would appear to have very little chance, and although Russia protests against the occupation of Jut land, it is lint believed that she will actively inter fere, for the German party desires to con quer a peace rather than to occupy Denmark Proper. 'Mete had been a rumour that the Ruisians had stopped its merchant vessels in port, in order to take them up for the c' nveyance of troops, but this eitatemeet is doubted.

No doubt there was a larger supply of bills, but hue those of first- class the fairer quotation might be considered to be 105 to 106, and it is stated that for the Niagara steamer tee quotations were even higher. Produce bills are always done much lower than those of a different stamp, the names of the parties concerned not being well kuoien. Still we are quite prepare d, after due consideratien of the matter, and upon the reliable iulormation which we have • obtainedfrom private sources- and from practical snee r itf see a further exportation of gold from Europe &o the United States. A large supply of corn will be sent from the interior, and sea good deal of the Californian gold comes in direct to England, it forms the basis of a-kind of arbitration of the exchanges from some Of the I:tilted States ports. In this way w e are likely shortly to receive more gold from San Francisco, at the very time that we are shipping small amounts to New York. Such is movement will correct itself, but upon the balance of trade will depend whether we shall have specie remit tances to make after wo cease to receive the precious metal direct from California. The following aro very interesting details upon trading affairs at New York:— "It will be perceived by the manifests of. our packet ships from Europe, particularly those from Lireipool, that the quantity of light goods arriving is small. What is very unusual at this season et the year, packets ar riving are loaded with heavy freight, such as coal, iron, &c., which is an indication that the bulk of the im portation has been received. This is 'a favourable feature in' our foreign trade, as it not only in. sures' a steady reduction in the Governinent deposits, but will prevent any advance in the rate of exchange, and turn the.tide of precious metals this way. We do not wish to see a large importation of specie from Europe, but the larger the importation from California the better. The receipt of three or tour million of dollars worth of gold or silver from England. would have a good effect there, and it would, doubtless, be permanent, but an importation much beyond that amount would create a state of things here calculated to do more harm than good. It would tend to inflate prices for our own products, se that our exportations would be checked, and inflate prices for foreign manufactures, so that foreign manufacturers would find a market here for their fabrics at rates sufficiently remunerating to give a great impetus to importations. This is usually the effect of a large importation of specie, and we generally have not only to disgorge all the specie imported, but have to draw largely upon our staple products for payment of the balance against us." The Canada accounts create some uneasiness, but will certainly not surprise those who have perused the au thentic information given repeatedly of late under this head from private and exclusive sources. The Mexican accounts are not of interest. • The Corn Market is steady to day, but not much . is doing, the arrivals of foreign being large, viz., 15,000 quarters of Wheat, 16,000 quarters of Oats, and 50,000 quarters of Barley.
