By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, er, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowine two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness Ana want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. ;ENEFITS IL PREMIUMS To secure on attain- Annnity.£lo 10 0 ingtheage Cash •• 82 10 0 of 65, the Policy.. 97 8 6 option of Secured on at 65, by an Ai: 21. 12s. staining the age of inual Premium of Payable , Payable !

Thou mighty tube that span'st the sea, At Menai's far-famed straits ; My wonder-stricken muse on thee With duteous honour waits. How 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 hepes and fears, Thy vast majestic tube was raised Upon its mighty piers. Enormous tube! for such thou art, Thy form so vastly planned ; Calls to my mind that princely Mart, Which ➢loses' raised on laud. :Nay do not scorn to be corarared With Moses' vast Depot— A greater Mart was never reared — And I'm allowed to know. But what is giant bulk alone, When rightly understood? 'Tis nought, unless some use is shown — Some end to public good. The Mart of Moses, like to thee, Was thus designed to act; And every article we sae FAablishes the fact. No equal hath there ever been To Moses' dresi display ; Ani proofs of this thou must have seen Uron thy launching day. Didst thou not note, on either shore, The gentlemen attired In Noses' dress, which more and more, Deserves to be admired? I noticed them : for there they were, In tans of thousands, too ; And oft amid the exciting stir, I turned me round to view. Great tube (and hero I placed my hand Slap -bang upon my heart) ay'st thou retain as firm a stand As Moses' noted Mart. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

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 cne 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 et me 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 we, k's rates ; millers were not disposed to give more than 3s to 4s per 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.

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 TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—We have had a firm and prosperous market this day. There has been a considerable amount of activity displayed. Nluch 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 commenced operations with encouraging success. The first victory was attended by severe loss of life. The attack commenced on the 13th 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, bad 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 si2tanee, 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 bad been re peatedly offered to the English. COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. -A serious explosion from fire-damp occurred at has. past seven o'clock yesterday morning in a pit belonging to Mr. T. Morris, of Great Bridge, near Dadley. 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 ex p losion 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 nu . mber many were dreadfully injured. Six boys were stillin the pit, of whose deaths no doubt was entertained. Seven horses were in the pit at c the time, two of which have been brought up alive. The pit had not b ee n worked since Saturday last, great as, therefore, unfortunate requisite do i g n g entering i s it amongst yesterday maourtnioinng w. The those deprived of life, and as yet the immediate cause of the calamity is unknown. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT CLEBRENWELL.—This morn ing, about one o'clock, a fire occurred on the pemises of Mrs. Minter, Margaret-street, Pentonville. It ori ginated in the room of a watch-jeweller en the first floor, named Stock. The police procured the Farring den-street and Whitecross-street engines and firemen, and although the fire had made alarming progress, the firemen succeeded in subduing , the flame s , n o t, h owever , until a largo 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 importanc3 of our possessions in the Southern Pacific gives to this subject peculiar interest at the present moment, and we are gl zd to see any demonstration made which will tend to accelerate our iutercourse with them. 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 he 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, wider the title of " Reunion of the Extreme Left," with M. GREVY as President, MM. CREPU and EM. ARAGO as Vice-Presidents; MM. VER 7IGNY and BANCAL as Secretaries, and M. DURAND.. SAVOYIJT as Treasurer. Intelligence has been received from Algiers to the 20th of June. The illuniteur Algeria reports several advantages gained by the French troops over the Arab tribes. The Evenement publishes the following extract of a letter from Berne of the 21st of June : " M. Ledru Rollin, accompanied by two other persons, arrived last night at Berne, by the diligence from Bale. This day at noon, be left Berne 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 bo►h 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 Morat. He was, however, followed by a large crowd. General Thiard has also just arrived at Geneva." It is said that the English Government has pre sented a friendly remonstrance against the bombard ment of Rome, and has urged upon the French Go vernment the necessity of coming to an accommoda- tion with the Romans. M. de Lamartine has addressed the following letter to the electors of Orleans, who asked him whether, in case of a double 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 Loirets. 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, prevented 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. " LAM RTINE." 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 present, 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 MARRAST 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 221 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 mediately for Civita Vecchia. The steam-boat Caton, which returned to Toulon from Purt Vendres on the 21st inst., received orders to sail forthwith for Italy with dispatches from the Government for General OUDINOT and M. nn 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 f. ; the deposits withdrawn on those days amounted to ,4 3,004 f. 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 dimini,h. The deaths on ,he 22,l of June were only 97, of which 67 were in e rivate 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, but 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 HIRSCHFELD drove them from their positions on the Neckar, in the direction of Wieslock. The Prince of PRUSSIA 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 HIRSHFELD and PEUCHNER fell in with the principal body of the insurgents, under MiEnostewsKr, near Waghausel. 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• meat, pretends that they retired in good order, and would be able to resume hostilities. MECKLENBURGH. The Constituent Assembly 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 I 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 (Pas kiewitch), crosied the Hungarian frontier on the 17th and 18th, in four main columns, commanded respec tively by Generals Basching, l3ielageyeff, Rudigee, and Grabbe. The head-quarters of the Prince was Barffeld, on the 18th. The reserves, under the com mand of Generals Sackcro 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 and g Hungarians at Kabu l var, Szered, and on points of the Wang ; whilst some ascribe the victory to the Austrians, others give it to the Hungarians. The G erniqn 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 ma l a dies are raging in the Russian camp, and that t he Magyars display greater enthusiasm than ever. It was reported that the Austrians had taken Raab. KOPUTII had ordered the Austrian prisoners, several thousand in number, to be employed on the works of the Szolnok and Debriczin Railway. According to letters received at Vienna on the 19th, the Russian troops reviewed by the Emperor of RUSSIA, accompanied by the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE and Prince PASKIEWITSCU, at Duckeau, amounted to 87,000 moo, comprising those of Gcn. SAAS, already in Hungary. This force is destined to act in the comitat of Zips, and consequently to march by Bortfeld, Eperies, Lentochp, Z•xplark, A nd lias. PRUSSIA. 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 Prussia shall divide the supreme power between them, not aiter• nately, but conjointly. This chiefdom to be sup ported by a Council of State, consisting of repre sentrepre- sentativesfrom all th e o ther 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. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 20.—The day before yest?r 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. A proclamation , , FILANGIEBT had an nounced to the Sicilians that the eldest son of the King of NAPLES would reside at Palermo, and govern Sicily as Viceroy, and that the Sicilians who had been made prisoners by the Neapolitans in the waters of Corfu, and had been detained at Naples since July 1848, in consequence of their connexion with the expedition to Calabria, would be set at liberty, with the exception of the chiefs. The Cos tanza, a Palermitan journal, ventured, after the lapse of several days, to ask FILANGIERI when the arrival of the VICEROY might be expected, and who were the chiefs who would not b 3 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 FILANGIERI, both as regards the Viceroyalty of the Duke of CALABRIA end the liberation of the Sicilian prisoners. The band of a battalion of the National Guards having one evening performed some Italian airs, I'll,v:cunt ordered the chief of the battalion to be arrested, and in order to obtain his great object, which is a virtual dissolution of the National Guard, FILAEGIERI published on the Ist of June an ordi nance prohibiting from serving in the Nation: 1 Guards— Ist. All those vs ho had served in the Sicilian army._ 2dly. All those who, during the thirteen months of the Sicilian revolution, had professed opinions fa vourablW to the revolution. 31. All those who were not Palermitans. The National Guard is likewise prohibited from appe:aing 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 displeased. 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 Guard does not see these proceedings it is a proof that it per forms the public service carelessly, if it does see 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 SETTIMO was still in the island in a state of excellent health. He 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 refuses every invitation. 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 TOTILA. 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 consequently 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 latter armorers will Le found to repair, gratuitously, the guns of the people. (Signed) "THE MEMBERS OF TUE COMMITTEE. " Rome, June 15." The following appeal also appeared in the Roman Monitor : " All 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 Pancrezio, 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 held. 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, von-officially, by a person cf some standing in Gen. Oudinot's camp:— " Rome, June 13. " Sir,—lt is impossible for me to go to the ad vaLced posts to see you. Our conversation, besides, unfortu nately for us, cou'Al have no issue favourable to your views cnd ours. I h,ave the conviction that we have ex hausted cli possible means of conciliation, and that it only remsius to us to fight. We will do so—we sill do so, you may b.) assur d, from wall to wall, from street to street, from barricade to bar- ricade. We may be cot.quercd, but not pat down. We had flAttered ourselves with the hope that Frauce would at I.ngth fe , l how much there is noble, sacred, and worthy of herself in our attitude, and what there is —perinit me to be frank—coo Ludictory and tyrannical in the Tart that she plays here with us. We have proclaimed towa:ds 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 Civlta 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, condemnt d 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 population.' 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 MAZZINI." 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 Pianto, 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 BONAPARTE should follow the example of Constable Bonus:Kix. The lllilan 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 capitulation, according to the same journal, 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 16th, 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 ; th e y h ave been accommodated in various palaces, among others in that of the Duchess of BERRY. In the sitting of the 15th the Assembly, by a new vote, confirmed its decree of April 2, to the effect that Venice would re sist to the last. Two commissions had been named —one for defence, and th e other for treating diplo matically with the powers. The that w Consof travellerstiturtorial who a eof Trieste, had arrived i the v ed from 18 t , Venice, onthe, faith while the weathe r was favourable , to the bl cci is aadci.7wsaqsufaedltro; n bsu g t re t a h t at 7a i n n t of co n b s u e t q c u h e e n r c s e m of e a t t , h we olte o a d, stor ms that bad forced the blockading vessels to seek refuge in the po rts, man y ships laden with meat and wocd had entered Venic e. 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 those 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 : ppear in the list of the 43, have been arrested ; and among them is a priest—the Abbe ALLEGRA. A journal, the Forbice, having ventured to complain of this infraction of the law,has in consequence been suppressed, and it s editor, M. SALAFIA has been arrested and impris o n e d. The list of those excluded from the amnesty has bean increased in direct violation of the t rea t y o f capitulation, by the addition of the names of ')O6 other persons, among whom are the I\larehionesss of SA:cumin/it) And several other ladies.

We have the pleasure of announcing that Mr. Lum 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 ccn3ideration from the sovereigns, princes, and other great personages of the different courts which she visited. Recent circumstances, resulting from the deplorable convulsions on the continent, have now induced her to return to the sage. During the interval a hich has elapsed since her 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 readers. 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 greatest enthusiasm. The celebrated Barbaja, who at the same moment was the impre anio of three of the greatest operatic theatres of Europe, having heard her sing at Vienna em ployed strenuous exertions to withdraw her from the German to the Italian lyrical stage. He at length suc ceeded in his object, and she made her debut in the Donna del Logo at the Grand Opera of the Carinthia. However, 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 Italiens in Paris. There she met with another celebrated prima donna who had long preceded her, Madame Malibran; and with her distinguished colleague she performed, as with an elder sister, in Taneredi, 11 Matrimonio, and 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 Abut 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 sofeverystreets e ts equalled kind, h that te the thr c rowds noofbei nobility, rank, spectatorsand in the e st fashion, under the roo f of the g reat dilettante and patron of made ee herof D fi r e s v t o nslare. appearance A at fe whedragafter wardsai y' Theatre , when she more than realised the high expec tations which bad been raised. Most of the great prime donne of our times ha ve been com p elled, i n soprano parts, to compensate by their g e n i us a n d science for the art shee e want of compass of their voices—as, for example, in the case of Pasta, whose natural voice was a rugged mezzo soprano, and of Malibran, who was a real contralto. In Madame Sontag the public found a real soprano, " to the manner born," 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 peared in Rosina, she revelled and luxuriated in roulades, arpeggios, and fanciful divisions; and, subsequently, in Donna Anna, she proved that she could sing in the chastest classical style, and produce the same effect by pure sentiment and expression, as she had done before by fioriture 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 became attached to a young Piedmontese noble man, the representative of his Sovereign at that court. Her last appearance was in - Scmirarnide. This performance appeared es if it were a national celebra tion. All Berlin was present, and the whole audience was in tears when she bade adieu. On the occasion of her marriage the King of Prussia. attended by all the princesses of the blood, himself g ave awa y the brit e. Durince the several missions of her husband at St. Petersargh and at Berlin, this amiable and gifted lady was received at Court with the greatest dis tinction, an d s he occasionally delighted her imperial and royal entertainers by the display of her genius. At St. Petershurgh, such was the sensation which she produced by sin in a t Court, that th e Em p eror and Em p ress, on h er departure, determined to establish the Indian Opera, now one of the first in Europe. We have already al luded to the unfortunate circumstances which have led M a d a me Souteg to resume the exercise of her profes sion, end we have only to add, that she is now on her road to England. She will appear at her Majesty's Theatre very alertly gter arrival. 3IIDL AND RAILWAY. ALTERATION OF EXPRESS TRAIN. On and after Monday next, July 2, the Express Train will leave the Euston Station, London, for Leicester, Derby, Leeds, York, New castle, and Edinburgh, at 9 o'clock in the Morning instead of 9 30.
