Its „," a htY has increased at every representation. At the pre -3%"". moment, after a run of 40 nights, between 2,000 and i k vl4) . Persons pay nigbtlyat the doors to witness its grotesque g s , s l 'ins, its gorgeous appointments, and its magnificent )o : e r3'.

The unqualified approbation of the auditors, stueelnattlative success o: each new production, the thronged to ry of the house at every representation, and the satisfac de result of tho last six weeks, induce Professor An p:ll to persevere in a path which has led him to a inC l p s "on whence he can regard the past with plea the future with confidence, and the pre- Ili; With proud, unmingled, unalloyed gratification. 1 ' the sequel to his Christmas season will be characterised fh e same amount of good fortune which has hitherto at ise7"l„ hioaareer at Covent garden he is perfectly assured, ther esi; k lulea-Whicrr-have already elicited success will, without it s 'a continue to produce it, amplifying at the same time 4111 01114 and its certitude.

TEMFORARY OFFICES.-14A, Austin-friars. A Joint-stock Company has been formed, and provisionally registered, under the above title, for carrying on a general dis count business. The circumstances of the times are peculiarly favourable to the establishment of such a company, and the commercial exigencies of the country require it. Tho foreign trade alone of the United King,dom has trebled itself within the last 25 years, the exports which, in the year 1832, amounted to 32,000,0001., baring, in the year 1854, risen to over 97, 00,0001. The home trade has received a proportionate impetus and development, and the aggregate transactions of the country, in exchangeable products, have multiplied to an extent which it is difficult to estimate, whilst the monetary facilities for carrying on these transac tions have not kept pace with this rapid and gigantic in. Crease. A company, which, from its ample resources, offers addi- ' tional facilities for commercial operation, will, it is believed, be favourably received by the trading community, and prove a useful auxiliary to the banking establishments throughout the kiugdom, at the same time affording to all classes a safe and remunerative investment, either permanent or tempo rary, for their surplus funds. The principles on which the company is based aro simple and fam;liar. The foundation is a large subscribed capital, of which a con siderable proportion will be at once paid up, a i red money will be received on deposit upon terms of repayment to be spe cially agreed with the depositors ; these means will be em ployed in discounting, and in loans on approved securities. The Company will not open drawing accounts with their customers, nor act, in any respect, as a bank. The capital is to be 1,000,0001., divided into 40,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of ,5/. per share shall be paid, on the acceptance of the letters of allotment. Power will be taken by the deed to increase the capital to 2,000,0001., with the assent of three-fourths of the proprietors, specially convened. It will be the duty of the Directors to select a General Ma nager, whose ability and experience will assure to the share holders and the public a vigilant and prudent administration. The Company is constituted within the provisions of the Limited Liability Aet. merit E'w to h application bankers f for shares e c s om mustan beCompany of 1 accompaniedrper share by o a n pay_tenumber of shares applied for, and for which a voucher will be given.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold , gives an exchange of 13.56 ; and, the exchange at Ham burg on London at abort being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.64 per cent. dearer in London than in Hainburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 108 A per cent, and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nomi nally 1.08 per cent. against England; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of in terest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmis sion of gold either way between the two countriee.

The Directors of this Company deem it right to put their share holders an t the public in possession of information as to their pro ceedings since their last announcements. The Directors were then in a position to state that they had re ceived a large consignment or Gold Ore from their Mines. They have since received another. Their attention has been diligently directed. under the hest advice they could procure, to the task of extracting the Gold from the Ore, haring' previously ascertained its existence. Various experiments on the recognised, as well as more recently introduc^d systems, have been tried by eminent analytical chemists, the results of which. although they e3e,asionsily direr, establish that the Ore of this mine is capable of yielding Gold and Silver to an extent of fully justify ins all expecta , i ms. The ohs'acirs the Directors have ha 4 to encounter have arisen from a difficulty inherent in the nature of these undertakings, thst of realising the same res'il's on a large- scale by a process which would he so cheap as to render the enterpr 7 se in the highest degree commercially vaitrible. They are proceeding with the experiments necessary to arrive at this result, and with the most encouraging hopes of speedy success. In the mean time, the Directors do not feel themselves justified in publishiltr. partial informal I'm, however satisfactory, but as soon as they are in a position to do so, which will not be long hence, they will Isy before the shareholders a statenvnt of the past and present position and future prospects of the Company.

Spirit of the Public Journals. fvfmtetiEsrEn., Feb. 12.—The renewed activity in the Liverpool cottonmarket, , consequetitao some extent on the advices - brought yesterday from the United States by. the packet-blip America, has bad a slight reaction upen this market, and there has been more business in both yarn and cloth than could have been foreseen a few days back, when everything was labouring under de pression caused by. the unfavourable news from India. Buyere here were holding back, under an impression that ha.s prevailed more br less for some time past, that the price of cotton must come down more than it has yet done, in consequence of a m .re plentiful supply, and manufacturers fresh from their annual stool...taking, with its dimclesures of ,heavy losses on the transactions of the past year, were anxiously cautious to keep their bands as free as possible for a favourabre change in the raw material. The advices from the United Stites, fixing lower estimates than had been hitherto given of the crop of cotton, coupled with the results of recent observation that the speculative tone of the Liverpool market WA3 encouraged by larger quantities of cotton being taken one way or other by consumers than had been expected, have for the present changed the course which both merchant* and manufacturers were disposed to pursue here, and hence a renewal of business this morning in manufactured goods on a larger scale, though not unaccompanied with much uneasiness and doubt as to the policy they are driven to pursue. The advance on cotton is about 1 16d. Tr lb., and spinners here have been in a position to ask Ad. per lb. over the rates of last week, so that rnanufac• turcrs have been driven to seek a corresponding advance. In long cloths and T cloths for the Levant - there has been a good demand, and business has been done in some cases at a small advance, and in most instances at the extreme ratia of lisffuesday. Shirtings, inadapollanie, and jacconets, which vrtre depressed and scarcely sale able last week, have to-day found ready purchasers at rates - which were declined last Tuesday, and in some asee at an advance. But for a more considerable ad vance asked by manufacturers in anticipation of a yet dearer raw material we should probably have had a still larger business. In yarns, as already stated, an advance of Ad. per lb. is asked, and with a feeling, that prices may yet be higher there hag been a rather active demand from home manufacturers and also from the Germans. The demand for other markets has been pretty general, but on a mudh less scale. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report this evening "There is a better feeling in the market, and a more general demand to-day than we have had for the last few weeks. Jacconets, madapolams, and shirtings, which were so much depressed last week are now readily sale able at the extreme rates then asked, and in some in stances at a slight advance. Long cloths, T cloths, and low printers continue in good request, at full prices. Many producers, however, owing to the growing im pression that prices of cotton will at least be maintained; are asking a considerable advance, and the business of the day is in consequence much curtailed." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. say :—" The demand for goods today has been steady, with the ex ception of that perhaps for India fabrics, which are in less inquiry, and in consequence of the state of the cotton-market many sellers ask a little advance in prices. Yarns are very firm in prices, with a tendency to some advance." . (From the Times of this day.) The discussion on the right of the Crown to create a peerage for life has now reached a point at which we may do wisely to resutne 'the whole question, to . see whence it arose and" whither it tends, and to examine it frotn.the point of view of each of the disputants who have been so fully heard before the public. . What, then, has been the 'cause of, this contro versy ?' Clearly and undeniably this--,..that the ap pellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords has be come a scandal and a reprciach to that noble body and an intolerableoppressinn and grievance to the 'public. Of our two appellate courts the Judicial Ponamittee .of the Privy Council has been con tinually rising while the .136ifse of Lords has been as constantly falling in the opinion of . lawyers and atigants, till its high appellate functions have be pomp a source of weaknese to the very body of Which they were once considered the strength and honour.. The neglect of all judicial propriety, the smallness of the numbers, the diversity of the opi -nions, have struck with astonishment and dismay lawyers trained up iu the more seemly and labo rious arena of courts, the decisio ns o f w hi c h it i s the high privilege of the House of Lords to over rule. The grievance has become intolerable, and,. irrespective of any question of prerogative, irre spective of the prejudices of the Peers for heredi tary nobility, of the anxiety of lawyers to mai n t a i n the dignity of their craft, of the wish of the Go vernment to remedy without legislative action thiS canker, which eats into the very heart of justice,. this poison, which adulterates its sweet 'waters—at their very fountain head, will, be and must, be re medied. From this point the discussion sets out, to this it must return, and by this test must we .assay everything that is offered, if we would really comprehend the difficulty and really appreciate the ' possibility of a solution. On the question of law we .cannot.doubt that the Government has been well advised. The authorities establish the legality of peerages for life ; and, on the other hand, there is nothing whatever to be urged, except a note of doubtful authorship and not very powerful reasoning, attri buted, perhaps unjustly, to Mr. Hargrave, who, if one of the most learned, .was also one of the most pedantic of men. Theargtiment-" from desuetude" is of the greatest force in - any -case where the ,prerogatives of the Crown are brought into contact with popular rights ; but in the matter of the peerage, the creature and child of the prerogative, moulded and fashioned by the will of the Sove reign, which gives pre-eminence to some without taking away from the equal rights of the rest, these doctrines seem to have neither place nor applica tion. It is beyond dispute that originally a peer age was considered susceptible of all the limitations incidental to . a freehold estate, and, if the policy of one age had suggested one form, that is no rea son why another should be illegal, any more than those forms of settlement which conveyancers have thrown aside as ill-adapted to the Wants of the pre sent day. If, however, we turn to the majority of the House of Lords we find in them a surprising neglect of the real interests of the public, and a strange misun derstanding of the real bearings of the question. They cling to hereditary peerage and argue against the law which is their safeguard, the prerogative of which they aro the creatures, and the constitu tion which is their palladium, because they be .. LEEDS, Feb. 12.—The attendance in the cloth-halls this morning was of about an average character, and fair amount of.cloth changed hands. Where any dispo sition was shown to abate from the highelit range of prices for good woollens, both white and dyed, there was not much difficulty in effecting sales. Clothiers did nct appear anxious to make reductions, the general opinion being that wools will soon advance above their present rates. A good attendance at the forthcoming sales in the metropolis, which commence on Thursday next, is anticipated. The following is the report of the Huddersfield mar ket of this day There has been a good attendance of buyers, who . have been principally on the lookout for job lots cheap.

They do not seem to, observe that hereditary dignity is neither honourable to the peerage nor the individual ; .unless it be attended by hereditary wealth, and that nothinT so infallibly ruins a privileged class as that any large portion of its members 'should fall into poverty or social disrepute. They are offered the support of , a class of men who would adorn the debates and maintain the intellectual position of the house, without transmitting their position to deseendantS less useful and less influential than theMselves, without coming in any degreointo competition with the territorial and hereditary nobility. From their talents the hereditary nobles would derive - lustre, and their merita would ' sustain the repute of a Chamber the energies of whose hereditary otleu-. pants wealth and ease are so continually under mining ; and, worse than all, while :intent on thiS peculiarly selfish view of the subject, the peers tell the public, who care much less for dignity than kr justice, that they must be content with the in tolerable abuses of the appellate .iurisdiction of the House of Lords as they stand, and that theriftil not lighten them with one of their fingers. Still more r:arvellous is the infatuation of the lawyers. Nothing is more melancholy in general than the history of the succession to law peerages —a topic susceptible of ample illustration, were we to accept Lord Lyndhurst's challenge, and enume rate the melancholy instances of the degenerate, impoverished, and disreputabledescendants of great lawyers whose names encumber the hereditary peerage. The family of a great lawyer is most fre quently ill brought up ; the father is immersed in business, the mother seldom equal to the position SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS! ( Front the Balton Daily Times.) to which she is raised. When a great lawyer is offered a peerage, ho has to consider whether his eldest son is worthy to succeed him, and whether, if ho be, he will starve his younger chil dren to provide him with an estate suitable to the dignity. To such a man,one would have supposed a peerage for life a Most welcome refuge, but vanity carries it against prudence and modesty, and lawyers must transmit their titles to their posterity even while they are well assured that that posterity will disgrace them. We ear nestly hope, then, that Glvermneut will not re cede from the position it has taken np, will not allow the prerogative of the Crown to he cut down and destroyed by the Chamber that is its creature and its offspring, nor permit the Peers to apply for the elevation and isolation of their Order those doctrines of prescription which have hitherto only been used as the defence of the rights and liber ties of the Commons. Any one who considers how large a portion of the business of the House of Lords is transacted by the first founders of peerages will see the necessity of infusing more of this ele ment into that assembly. bile peerages may or may not render the House of Lords au efficient court of appeal, but they will, at any rate, give to its debates weight and consideration which the house can only otherwise purchase at the risk of impover ished descendants. As for the judicial powers of the House of Lords, s'ne3 that house itself has so reso lutely declared against any attempt to palliate their inefficiency, and since, nevertheless, some speedy and efficient cure must be applied, we would hum bly suggest that, while their lordships are wrang ling over their dignity and privileges, a bill should at once be introduced, transferring the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, thus relieving the peerage from a duty which it cannot discharge and which it will not resign, the lawyers from the dread of emancipation from pauper peerages, and the suitors of our courts from a jurisdiction the scandal and disgrace of the judicial system of the country over which it presides. TURNPIKE TRUSTS.—The general report made by order of the Secretary of State was published on Satur day. It shows that the financial condition of the turn pike trusts generally continues to improve under the regulations and arrangements made by Parliament dur ing the last few years, notwithstanding the gradual de crease of the revenue from tolls. Thus, the tota l receipts in 1853 were 1,135,2811., against 3,142,592/. in 1852 and 1,138,7541. in 1851, while the expenditurelBs2 and was 1,161,7871. in 1853 against 1 , 126,334/. i n ed . i/11, 2 . 1,115,1241. in 185 0 .

The reduction, mor eover, is partly accou n t e d , f or. The amountof c aborrowed in 1853 was 16, 0101.,being nearly equal to that borrowed in 1852.

The total expenditure in 1853 exceeded the income by 26,5061.—an unusual circumstance, arising from the payment of larger sums for repairs and improvements. The result was a reduction of the balance in hand from 336,404/. to 309,898/. Steps have been taken, andwith ranch success, to bring the affairs of turnpike trusts generally into a more healthy and prosperous state. The report if pigged by Mr. W.

'`) I Le Nord publishes the fallowing biographic'. • - v ' \:-- notices of the •two Plenipotentiaries of Russia at 14, a S the forthcoming Conference : " Count Orloff, Aide-de-Camp General, General of Cavalry, Commander of the Military Household of the King, and Member of the Council of the Empire, belongs to one of the most illustrious families of his country. He is about 70 years of age, but still brisk, active, and healthy. He took part in almost all the wars which signalized the commencement of our century. " Wounded first at Austerlitz, he was also seven different times wounded upon the field of Boro dino, and was afterwards made Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor Alexander I. In 1825 ho was a • General, and commanded in that capacity the re giment of Horse Guards which, in December, 1826, first hurried to suppress the entente. Count Orloff gave tokens that day of boundless courage and de votion, and from that moment dates his intimacy with the Emperor Nicholas, of whom he was one of the first advisers, and whose personal friend he was. In 1828 he commanded in Turkey the divi sion of Horse Chasseurs. In 1829 he was named Plenipotentiary, and signed at Adrianople, with Marshal Diebitch and Count Frederick Pahlen, the treaty ofAdriauople. After the peace he re mained some time at Constantinople as .A.rnbas sidor. Recalled to the companionship of the Emperor, he accompanied his Imperial Majesty in his various travels. " We next find him on a mission in Holland and at London, where the affairs of Belgium were ar ranged. The year 1833 found him also at the head of the expedition which saved Constantinople from the victorious army of Ibrahim Pasha, and he signed the treaty of Unkiar-Skelesii. Since 1845 he has replaced Count de Benckendorff, deceased, as chief of the third section of the Private Chan cellery of the Emperor, and of the gendarmerie of the empire, the colonels of whieh, distributed over all the governments, have less a mission of police, properly so called, than a general inspection of all the adminiakration of the cougery, ancl.a.lso of,:. control over the gciVelnors as well as the governed. This post, full of trust, gave to Count Orloff free access at all hours of the day to the Emperor, and the right to speak to him of all and everything. " It has been remarked, and justly, that the two persons who have filled these important functions near the Emperor Nicholas—Count Benckendorff and Count Orloff—were precisely the men re nowned for their loyalty, their spirit of justice, and moderation. These functions Count Orloff still fulfils with the Emperor Alexander 11. We cannot give a better idea of the sentiments which this Sovereign entertains towards him than by re producing the conclusion of the rescript addressed. to hint on. the 22d'of August last, on the occasion of the anniversary of his 50 years of service : At his last hour, in a final and sacred interview with me, my father enjoined me to thank you as a friend who had always been faithful and devoted.' "This is the personage chosen by the Emperor Alexander to represent Russia at the Peace Con ferences at Paris. "Baron Brunow (Privy Coitncillor) comes from a noble family of Courland. He has passed nearly 40 years in a diplomatic career, in which he has acquired au European reputation. He was with Count Orloff at the negotiations of Adrianople. He then accompanied him to Constantinople as Counsellor of the Ambassador, then to Holland and England, and to Constantino' to in 1853. " These two statesmen have been accustomed to work together for nearly 30 years, and, if we may judge of the success of the negotiations about to be held by the success of those in which they have already taken part, we cannot but entertain most favourable hopes of an early re-establishment of peace. On returning from Turkey in 1830 Baron Brunow remained attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as chief redactenr. He then ac companied. Count Nesselrode to several congresses and diplomatic conferences. After remaining one year as Minister at Stuttgart, he was sent on an extraordinary mission to London, where he signed the treaties of 1840 and 1841. He remained there as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary until the rupture of diplomatic relations be tweeu England and Russia. Since the autumn of the past year he has been Minister to the Germanic Confederation." Mr. Bright, .the English "peace-at-any-priee man, recently madn a very Jong speech before an tugtish mechanics' institute, in which lie spoke very highly - of the United States, though we think • Amelicaßi would to none tiltilesa pleased if he had - not • not spoken so depreciatingly of his own country. It seems as if his object had been not so much to pea a ) us, as to make England appear little in the comparison. He talks as if he thought we were the most peaceably-disposed people on earth, whereas there is as strong a fighting element, 'among us as ever there was iu France. H o alludes to our navy, and gitYs that we have but tws or three frigates. From this it should seem that he never had heard that the last Congress voted several millions of dol lars to build six of the most powerful steam-frigates in the world, are now on the eve of comple tion. It is proposed that the present Congress shall add as many more steam-ships to the navy, and make other additions to it. Mr. Bright may rest assured that few Aihericans look upon the-com parative smallness of their country's navy as some. thing to be proud of and to rejoice over. It is seen with regret, and Government can do no more po pular act than to add to the navy's strength and efficiency. Not a few of our countrymen are cf opinion that the navy ought to be so constituted as • to be able to command all the American seas, and their is reason in their view of what should be our policy. Grant that we should be able to defeat any army that might be landed here, would it not be a wiser thing to prevent an army f rom l au di ng ? This could best be done by our being so strong at sea as to make it a matter of very grave doubt whether any force could assail us with success. The best ne gcs iators, after all, are heavy fleets, for a maritime nation. The very . fact that you are powerful on the ocean may be the reason why the extent of your power shall never be tested. Mr. Bright's ideas • on naval matters would meet with no response in this country out of the class of the Burrittites, or some other equally harmless class .of madmen. The Government here has never kept pace with public opinion on the sutject of the navy. Had it done five times as ninon for it, the demands of that opinion would hardly have been complied with—certainly not exceeded. Mr. Bright alludes to our small army, and does so in terms compli mentary to us. It is true our army is small, but then our population is warlike in its character, and four-fifths of the men of military age are more or less familiar with the use of arms. In some of the States thousands of young men have a very re spectable knowledge of the details of military life. From these men-would the better portion of our armies, in the event of war be recruited. They would afford splendid material for soldiers. Yet even those who think highest of the valour and military spirit of the mass of the people are of • opinion that the smallness of •our 'army is a grave evil, and that we could not do a better or a cheaper thing than to treble its numbers. Had we 5,000 or 6,000 additional regular troops in 1E46 the Mexican war would have been brought to a close I that year, or have been far advanced. All the 5 valour in the world can't make young and inexpes • rienced treops as effective as old ones. They suffer r so much in health that that alone is a serious im- smallness of our regular force. pediment to 112:: 7 1i e taLy ave ope b r e a c t n io e n n s g . age T d h it e av I e n b d e ii nn i y ch the We have never been able to keep the aborigines down, or to fight them from the . first with effect when once they have risen. Our t rained have been frittered away in the early part of such forces promoted o i t n e dw which contests, and then have come militia, who have done half the wor k at twice the cost of regular sol diers. The millions upon milli ons th a t we r e sun k in the Florida war would mostly have been saved, and the war itself have been ended in half as many months as it lasted years, if we had had experienced troops in numbers su,fficient to have crushed the Indians when they first showed symptoms of a determination to rise. The Indian wars that we are now carrying on, and in w hick we are losing not a few men, would never have occurred, or would have been quickly concluded if our standing army bore any proportion either to our means, to the work required of it, or to the position of the nation. The victories won in the Mexican war were, in several instances, due to the excellence of our artillery, and that is an arm of the service that is not to be improvised. It can be brought to the point of great warlike efficiency only by long and diligent training.

THE CHEAP NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Tbe Gloucestershire Times, a three•halfpenny newspaper, published at Glou cester, stopped publication on Saturday. It appears that every copy of the paper cost more than the sale price, and yet some of the subscribers grumbled because it did not contain more than " the old fivepenny paper." Other parties coolly proposed to the proprietors to in sert their advertisements gratuitously, for six months, " by way crf a trial." A FEMALE RECRIIIT.—On Friday, a young woman, about 17 years of age, enlisted into the 97th Regiment, a recruiting party of which corps is stationed at Wind sor. Although she slept that evening in a room where there were several beds occupied by men, her sex was not discovered until next morning, when being taken before the medical officer for examination, and ordered to strip, as is usual on such occasions, she was obliged to confess that she was a woman. She was then taken before the magistrates, charged with obtaining the Queen's money under false pretences, and remanded. It is said that she enlisted in order to be enabled to join her sweetheart, who is in a cavalry regiment in the Crimea. A subscription has been commenced for her in Windsor.
